ANIMA, A+E Networks™ Asia Bring South Korea’s Most Watched YouTube Reality Show to PH

Tweet

PH version of ‘Nego King’ to stream on ANIMA’s YouTube Channel for FREE!

South Korea's most watched reality show, “Nego King,” will finally reach the Philippines as KROMA's ANIMA Studios partners with one of the leading global entertainment content companies, A+E Networks™ Asia.

A Philippine version of the reality show is coming soon and will be made accessible to viewers in the Philippines for FREE on ANIMA Studios’ YouTube Channel. Hosted by popular Filipino radio and TV personality Sam YG, the show will be produced in Taglish (Tagalog-English). With a following of 453K on Instagram, 21K on Facebook, and 1.6M followers on Twitter, the new Nego King PH host is sure to keep the viewers engaged, laughing and haggling through every episode.

Since the original South Korean “Nego King” premiered two years ago on YouTube, it has steadily gained fame. Now, the show, which has aired 60 episodes across 4 seasons, has amassed a total 135 million views, and the eyeballs keep coming.

In this popular web show, the host is “the king of negotiation,” interacting with ordinary customers through street interviews. The goal is to get to know the pulse of the people by asking for their opinion, critique, and wishes, especially on discounts and/or freebies on various “goods,” which may be an item or service such as beauty or cosmetic products, food, appliances or home items, and electronic gadgets, to name a few.

Later, the Nego King faces CEOs of the brands mentioned in each episode to leverage customer sentiment to get the best deals or discounts. This makes for highly relatable content in an era of belt-tightening due to inflation, especially among Filipinos who love a good bargain.

Now, with ANIMA’s newest partnership with A+E Networks™ Asia, the best Nego Show (Negosyo) of South Korea will soon be entertaining Filipinos with a local version in Taglish, bringing excitement and better deals for the Philippine audience, from clothes to food and various accessories and services.

Watch out because the Nego King may just pop in your neighborhood for ambush interviews.

Tara nang tumawa at tumawad sa Nego King PH!

How Puregold's success led to Filipinos’ “panalo" stories in the past 25 years

Tweet

Over the last 25 years, Puregold has constantly affirmed its presence in the retail industry, crediting its endurance to the patronage and trust of everyday customers that walk through their storefront doors, as well as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that extend Puregold’s reach to different communities.

As it celebrates its 25th anniversary, Puregold wants to put the focus on the Panalo Stories of every Puregold patron.

Still, the retailer believes that even as it thrives in the unstinting support of its patrons, its legacy is one that involves enabling Filipinos to succeed.

It is this core value in the heart of Puregold that has inspired infinite “panalo” stories. The supermarket chain’s operations have paved the way to thousands of job opportunities, and have continuously served sari-sari store owners and SMEs that need a reliable, cost-effective, and high-quality goods supplier.

Vincent Co, President of Puregold Priceclub Inc., believes that Puregold’s biggest accomplishment has been giving back to the community and helping local businesses blossom.

That Puregold helps Filipinos achieve their everyday wins is something the company takes a lot of pride in, says Vincent Co, President of Puregold Price Club, Inc. “You have to celebrate the wins,” Vincent asserts, “and for us, there is no greater win than giving back to our customers who have helped us get to where we have been these last 25 years.”

Vincent hopes that with over 440 branches nationwide, and more than 700,000 sari-sari store members behind them, Puregold will continue to generate more panalo stories for the Filipino people.

Puregold is the retailer of choice for many small and medium enterprises, all of whom have built their own individual Panalo Stories.

“As we look back on the last 25 years, and look forward to the next 25 years, we want Puregold to be a permanent symbol of support for the Philippines,” Vincent states. “We will strive to keep expanding and continue helping local communities and SMEs.”

ASUS puts incredible in innovation, launches award-winning Zenbook 17 Fold OLED

Tweet

OLED laptop global leader rolls out the world's first 17.3" Foldable OLED Intel Evo-certified laptop with multiple modes for a unique user experience.

ASUS announced its groundbreaking Zenbook 17 Fold OLED (UX9702), the world's first[i] 17.3-inch foldable OLED[ii] laptop. This ultra-compact and light 12.5-inch Foldable OLED laptop unfolds into a versatile 17.3-inch device with six modes, pushing the boundaries of innovation today. Redefining work and entertainment user experiences, this futuristic device packs a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, Intel Iris Xe graphics, 16 GB RAM, and a 1 TB PCIe SSD. Breaking many technological glass ceilings, Zenbook 17 Fold OLED has received multiple accolades, including the prestigious iF Design, Red Dot Design Awards, and TIME Magazine's Best Inventions of 2022.

Unfold the incredible

This groundbreaking foldable laptop offers users two sizes of OLED display in one device: a large 4:3 17.3-inch 2.5K NanoEdge touchscreen that folds in the middle to create two seamless 3:2 12.5-inch 1920 by 1280 displays[iii]. When folded fully closed along the precision-engineered 180-degree hinge, it's an ultra-compact and portable 12.5-inch device. Users can choose from Zenbook 17 Fold OLED's multiple versatile usage modes, namely the Desktop, Laptop (with Bluetooth keyboard), Laptop (with virtual keyboard), Tablet, Reader, and Extended.

Desktop mode

In Desktop mode, the unfolded 17.3-inch screen — propped up in landscape orientation using the built-in faux leather kickstand — can be used with the ASUS ErgoSense Bluetooth keyboard and touchpad attached wirelessly to create a powerful large-screen PC. This allows for all-day, non-stop productivity in the office or at home.

Laptop mode with Bluetooth keyboard

For Laptop mode (with Bluetooth keyboard), the keyboard attaches magnetically when placed on the lower half of the folded display. Alternatively, in Laptop mode (with virtual keyboard), the lower display can be turned into a virtual on-screen keyboard. These modes are perfect for on-the-go users who want a device they can easily clutch from one meeting to the next.

Tablet mode allows users to exploit the full touch capabilities of the fully opened 17.3-inch touchscreen, ideal for team collaboration and presenting big ideas. Reader mode — with the hinge aligned vertically — turns Zenbook 17 Fold OLED into the perfect reading device for that much-needed alone time studying or reading e-books.

Extended mode

Finally, in Extended mode, propped up in portrait orientation, the folded two 12.5-inch screens are perfect for users to scroll seamlessly on the upper and lower displays. Thus, Zenbook 17 Fold OLED can be connected to an external monitor via one of the two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports.

In each mode, the easy-to-use window management tools — such as Mode Switcher — in the ScreenXpert 3 app allow multiple split-display configurations and flexible app layouts for enhanced productivity. Users can seamlessly transition to each mode as its innovative hinge is engineered with ultimate durability. It is tested to withstand over 30,000 open-and-close cycles for total peace of mind.

Zenbook 17 Fold OLED also comes with a full-size ASUS ErgoSense Bluetooth keyboard and touchpad to support multiple user modes, providing a brand-new typing experience. The Bluetooth keyboard has a desktop-grade 19.05 mm key pitch and a long 1.4 mm travel on the dished mechanical keys, ensuring comfortable and accurate typing. The ErgoSense touchpad has a new silky-smooth surface for easy navigation, protected by a durable anti-fingerprint coating.

Despite its versatility and large screen size, the device weighs just 1.5 kg without the keyboard or 1.8 kg with it.

Performance that matters

The Intel Evo-certified Zenbook 17 Fold OLED is powered for effortless multitasking by high-performance components, including a 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, Intel Iris Xe graphics, 16 GB RAM, and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. The long-lasting 75-watt-hour battery features USB-C Easy Charge[iv], so it can be charged quickly with most USB-C chargers, power banks, or any Power Delivery-certified charger, including the bundled 65 W fast-charge adapter.

It's easy to connect Zenbook 17 Fold OLED to peripherals too. There are two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, which are up to eight times faster than USB 3.2 Gen 1, and feature support for fast charging or connecting external displays. A USB-C to USB Type-A adapter is also supplied.

Entertainment like no other

Experience immersive entertainment like no other with the foldable OLED touchscreen in Zenbook 17 Fold OLED. It has a stunning Dolby Vision-certified display with 100% DCI-P3 and PANTONE validated for color accuracy. It is TÜV Rheinland-certified for reducing harmful blue light and is accompanied by a powerful quad-speaker Harman Kardon-certified Dolby Atmos sound system.

Zenbook 17 Fold OLED includes several smart AI-powered features for added privacy and security and a superb online video calling experience. These include user-presence detection using an HD IR camera, which locks the laptop when the user is away, and unlocks it upon return, an integrated color sensor for automatic adjustment of screen brightness and color temperature, and a 5 MP AI webcam with ASUS 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR) technology.

[i] As of April, 2022 based on internal ASUS market analysis comparing Zenbook 17 Fold OLED to competing convertible laptops with an OLED screen measuring 17.3 inches from vendors including Acer, Apple, HP, Huawei, Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft and Samsung.

[ii] The visual appearance of OLED displays may change over the product’s lifetime. This is expected behavior that can include image persistence or burn-in, where the display shows a faint remnant of an image even after a new image appears on the screen. This tends to occur only in extreme use cases, such as when a static, high-contrast image is continuously displayed for prolonged periods of time. ASUS laptops with an OLED display minimize this risk by setting Windows’s Dark mode as default, as well as shortening the idle time before the screen is turned off — both on mains (AC) and battery (DC) power. This dual approach minimizes the potential for burn-in to maximize the lifespan of your OLED display lifespan, and also reduces unnecessary power draw for optimal battery life. We also recommended adjust the brightness of your OLED display to complement the ambient lighting in your environment, rather than keeping the screen at maximum brightness at all times. You should also ensure that you have an animated, dark-background screensaver enabled in the Windows Settings tool.

[iii] In 12.5” scenarios (Laptop mode) panel resolution is always 1920 x 1280.

[iv] USB-C Easy Charge ensures 4.5-watt charging when connecting to a non-Power Delivery chargers, including portable chargers or USB Type-A to USB-C chargers. When using a Power Delivery charger, the charging speed will match the connected adapter's power output, up to a maximum of 65 watts.

Rémy Martin launches 1738 Accord Royal in Whiskey Live Manila and Bar Show 2022

Tweet

French spirits house best known for its winegrowing heritage and cognac expertise, Remy Martin launched its newest addition to their Cognac Fine Champagne collection at the recent Whisky Live 2022 in Manila, the biggest liquor event in the world.

Selected for its oaky smoothness, the 1738 Accord Royal is a unique blend of cognac rooted in deep history – born from the cask and named in honor of the Accord Royal granted by King Louis XV to Rémy Martin in 1738.

The 1738 Accord Royal, described as a truly distinctive cognac, has exceptional smoothness and rounded oakiness that start with the toasting of the casks, before the eaux-de-vie begins to mature. Full of floral, fruity, spicy, and toasted flavors, it lends itself to a whole host of cocktails and food pairings.

“It is with great pride to introduce Rémy Martin’s newest 1738 Accord Royal to the Philippines,” said Rémy Cointreau Philippines Chief Representative Ed Guzman. “Our newest product is especially made for the younger market as it has extraordinary smoothness and subtle notes of toasted bread, vanilla, and brioche that can be enjoyed neat, on ice, or in a cocktail on any occasion.”

With its outstanding quality, 1738 Accord Royal has also been recognized and approved by experts in the most prestigious competitions, winning 4 double gold medals in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and a gold medal in the Cognac Masters.

Aligned with the core values of Rémy Martin, the Whisky Live 2022 is the perfect event to have launched the newest product of Rémy Martin. Recognized as an international Spirits event – which takes place from London to Tokyo, Paris to New York, and some of the major cities in the world – the premier tasting event allowed thousands of guests to be the first ones to try the Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal in the Philippines.

“As we celebrate the comeback of Whisky Live Manila, there is no other perfect time to launch the 1738 Accord Royal. Aside from its quality, 1738 Accord Royal signifies and celebrates true depth of character and sheer indulgence of sharing good moments,” said Rémy Cointreau Philippines Country Brand Lead Myke Soon. “We want to make sure that the attendees will have a memorable experience as they celebrate life, and drink to life with Rémy Martin,” he added.

Rémy Martin is also set to bring the 1738 Accord Royal to different parts of Metro Manila this year, an exciting debut that casual and occasional drinkers should look out for.
