Thinking of taking your mobile gaming to the next level? Well, you’re going to need some tools to elevate your game.

Investing in the right gadgets and accessories can completely transform the way you play. That’s why we’re rounding up some cool add-ons for avid mobile gamers out there. 

1. Infinix NOTE 12

First off, you’ll need a heavy duty gaming phone and the Infinix NOTE 12 is just the gadget for the job. The Infinix NOTE 12 is a best-in-class phone with advanced features designed specifically to improve your gaming experience.

Gamers are bound to enjoy their smoothest gameplay yet thanks to its powerful Helio G96 Ultra Gaming Processor. No lagging, no screen tears, just quick refresh rates and high resolution graphics.

Another feature that drives its super-fast speeds? The Infinix NOTE 12 has an extendable RAM of up to 13GB which also makes multitasking between games hassle-free.

Get your hands on this mobile gaming wonder through its official stores in Lazada and Shopee. 

2. Bluetooth headphones or earphones

Get your head in the game by getting yourself some high-quality bluetooth earphones or headphones.

These devices, especially ones with noise-cancelling features, allow you to focus and fully immerse yourself in your game - hearing every strike of a sword or the exciting music in the background.

It’s also very important to have good audio and microphones when you’re playing multiplayer games that involve live comms.

Choosing a bluetooth alternative is also highly recommended since wires can often be troublesome, especially when you’re playing on-the-go.

3. Fast-charging battery

Is there anything more frustrating than losing your game progress because of a drained battery? Imagine being on the verge of winning then suddenly you run out of juice?

Luckily, the Infinix NOTE 12 is equipped with a 5000mAh battery that’s perfect for long-haul gaming. If you ever do need to charge, no worries! The Infinix NOTE 12’s 33w fast-charging feature

4. A non-slip phone case

Gain better control of your game with a non-slip phone case. In the thick of the game, gamers need a sturdy and balanced grip on their phones so they can input their actions without fearing that the phone will slip and fall–ruining a good game.

This is why a non-slip phone case is important: it allows gamers that extra sense of security and comfort as they hold their phones. Don’t worry about cases making your device bulky because Infinix NOTE 12’s 7.8 mm ultra slim design makes it lightweight even when you use the Infinix clear jelly case or the limited edition PUBG phone case.

5. Mobile game controllers

Willing to splurge a little more? You can actually purchase external controllers that can connect to your phone. You can choose from the mobile game pads that can connect through your phone’s charging port or you can choose bluetooth controllers.

With external controllers, you’ll be able to enjoy the Infinix NOTE 12’s bright and crisp True Color AMOLED display a little more without your fingers getting in the way.

Any of these mobile gadgets and accessories seem exciting to you? Upgrade the cutting-edge Infinix NOTE 12 with these must-haves and discover the difference in your gameplay. Learn more about the Infinix NOTE 12 at www.infinixmobility.com. 

 

Mekeni strengthens promotion of local heritage

Tweet

Mekeni Food Corporation, one of the country’s biggest food manufacturing companies, is further solidifying its commitment to promoting local heritage not just in the country but in the US.

Garcia, and Skills Simplified CEO Francis Miranda at the Gawad Alab ng Lahi event held at Whitby Hotel, New York (Photo credit: Troi Santos, CNN Philippines).

The home-grown food brand recently partnered with Hiraya Foundation, a New York-based non-profit organization established by Filipino and Filipino-American professionals, for the first-ever Gawad Alab ng Lahi.

Gawad Alab ng Lahi is a program by Hiraya Foundation that aims to recognize individuals, enterprises, and communities that contribute to uplifting the lives of Filipinos and promoting progress in the Philippines.

Hiraya Foundation Chairman of the Board Romulo Aromin, Jr., MD added that the program honors those who made a meaningful impact on the lives of Filipinos abroad and in the Philippines.

 Mekeni President Prudencio S. Garcia said, “We are fortunate to cross paths with Hiraya Foundation and a group of successful Filipinos who also advocate conservation of our heritage, especially during this time where everything seems to be at our fingertips. As a local brand penetrating the global arena, we recognize the importance of preserving one’s identity, being proud of your roots, and effecting positive change in society.”

Garcia, who is also a former overseas worker, continued that like Hiraya Foundation, uplifting lives is at the core of Mekeni.

Mekeni was born out of a simple dream of a father who wants to give his family a better life ahead. This, however, changed and grew deeper after its founder, Felix Garcia, witnessed the hardships in their barrio after the devastating Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991. Since then, it has become their advocacy to uplift lives within and beyond their community.

“We are grateful to Mekeni for supporting and joining us in our cause. With a program such as this, we hope we could inspire the next generation to uphold our heritage no matter where success takes them,” said Aromin.

This partnership between Mekeni and Hiraya Foundation was made possible by the Philippine Consulate in New York, headed by Consul General Elmer Cato who lauds the foundation for its patriotic advocacy.

In the recently concluded awarding ceremony last July 11, 2022, at Whitby Hotel in New York, the following were the winners of the Gawad Alab ng Lahi award: Dr. Leo Felix Jurado for his unrelenting advocacy for Filipino nurses in the US; Concentrix Philippines for opening doors nationwide for Filipinos to provide for their families and thrive in unprecedented times; Philippine Nurses Association of America, Inc. for being at the forefront of advancing the interests and welfare of nurses in the US by providing professional and legal assistance; and Carnival Cruise Line for recognizing and rewarding Filipino talents through employment and ensuring their health and safety during the height of the pandemic.

Apart from participating in Gawad Alab ng Lahi, Mekeni representatives also met with Filipino overseas workers in New York in a tribute event organized by ConGen Cato and Overseas Workers Welfare Administration.

Mekeni was given a chance to impart to the attendees their experiences and learnings in overcoming challenges.

“We hope that our story will inspire them that if they are resolute in their dreams, nothing is impossible. No challenge is too big to bring them down,” concluded Garcia.

 

Top 5 indoor activities when raining : Featuring the Cherry Mobile Aqua S10 Pro 5G

You’re not much of a homebody and you’ve been itching to explore the outdoors but lucky you, it’s been raining cats and dogs nonstop and that’s probably what brought you here. Don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place—or article—as here are some activities that you can actually enjoy while the sun hasn’t decided to show itself yet.

TIDY UP

A lot of hours of being cooped up under your roof is a perfect time to get on your feet and be productive. Start washing that pile of laundry that you haven’t touched for weeks or organize your shelves and closets the Marie Kondo way. Once you’ve seen how clean your space can actually be, there’s no more leaving any area unkempt, whether rain or shine.

READ BOOKS

You see those books that are starting to get covered in dust? There’s no perfect time of getting back to your good ol’ hobby than during the rainy days. Grab one while sipping a hot cup of cocoa, all tucked in your sheets, and letting nothing be at work but your imagination.

EXPERIMENT A NEW RECIPE

When the sun is out, as with most people, you may tend to spend all your time away from the comfort of your home. This means frequently eating out or preparing easy-to-cook dishes as your energy is either drained or you’re always in a hurry. Would you believe that the rain is actually doing you a favor as you now have more time on your hands to try a new recipe with the available ingredients at home? Who knows, you might just come up with your next favorite dish.

PLAN AHEAD

If you’ve been doing life one day at a time, this may be the perfect opportunity to go back to your initial plans. Write down your dreams, goals, and everything that would keep you motivated. This may also get you tad sentimental by realizing how far you’ve already gone.

WATCH MOVIES

Another favorite indoor activity during a downpour is watching movies. Enjoy a classic while lying down comfortably using the Cherry Mobile Aqua S10 Pro 5G. It features a huge 6.78” FHD+ TrueView Punch-hole Display for an immersive viewing experience plus a 5000mAh battery capacity so you can enjoy long hours of watching. It is available for only P7,999.

Days at home are never boring with the right activities and enjoyable company. Get the Cherry Mobile Aqua S10 Pro 5G with more freebies until July 24, 2022 by getting it exclusively at:

Why home insurance matters, even when you’re just renting

Tweet

In a calamity-prone country such as ours, having home insurance is a must. However, due to misconceptions regarding what is covered, not a lot of people view having home insurance as a priority.

There are many misconceptions about this type of insurance, such as, this is only for homeowners, and that it does not cover those who are just renting. In terms of coverage, some also believe that it only covers incidents involving fire, and that it only covers damage to the structure and doesn’t protect the contents of your household. Some tenants may also think they don’t need insurance because they’re covered under the landlord or homeowners association’s policy, but, again, these policies do not include personal or valuable items inside their homes.

AXA Philippines, one of the country’s leading insurance providers, helps support the safety of homeowners and tenants with AXA Home Security, a comprehensive insurance package that protects the home, its contents, and as well as the people living in the unit.

“Being protected at home is more than just having a roof over our heads. With AXA Home Security, we offer a comprehensive insurance product that covers not the just the structure of our homes. Homeowners and tenants are also insured against damage within the house, caused by both minor and more severe incidents. This helps them feel more secure and protected, allowing them to truly see their homes as a safe haven for themselves and their loved ones,” said Nandy Villar, AXA Philippines Chief Customer Officer.

AXA Home Security can protect your property against physical damage and losses from natural or man-made incidents and calamities such as fire, earthquake, typhoon, flood, riot, strike, and malicious damage, to name a few.

Its coverage is also extended to include family personal accident insurance, household helper cover, personal liability, accidental breakage of fixed mirrors, robbery, burglary, and many more. For those who are renting their home, this product also covers rent and relocation expenses for tenants. Home Security also has a one-time reimbursement up to P5,000 until December 31, 2022 for cleaning and sanitation services if a family member tests positive for COVID-19.

You and your loved ones are also protected by the personal accident insurance component, in case of accidental death or permanent disablement. This benefit applies to the policyholder’s spouse and up to three children, or to their parents and siblings if they are single. It also covers medical reimbursement if injured by accident, as well as burial assistance. The insurance also extends to the household help, providing coverage for personal accident and property damage of up to three of your household helpers.

Lastly, in the event of lawsuits against you or your household within the premises of your property, the personal liability benefit of Home Security pays for any claims and incurred legal expenses to defend you from liabilities and medical expenses.

Now you can rest easy at home, knowing that you, your loved ones, and the things you hold dear are safe and protected with AXA Home Security. To know more, visit www.axa.com.ph/homesecurity.
