Watch SB19 and Apl.de.Ap as they host an epic house party on “Ready” music video

  

SB19 and Apl.de.Ap are throwing a massive house party on the music video of “Ready,” the dance-pop track released under Sony Music Entertainment.

“The concept of the music video revolves around the guys being away for a while and returning home to mount a party of a lifetime,” Apl.de.Ap explains. “While shot in Manila, it’s designed to be purposely ambiguous in location, and the maximalist design is intentional. It represents the arrival of SB19 as an international act. It’s an honor to be celebrating with the next pride of the Philippines.”

Working with Ben Mor

American filmmaker Ben Mor, who has directed visuals for some of the biggest global pop icons in recent memory, including Katy Perry, Britney Spears, John Legend, NAS, and the Black Eyed Peas, helmed the MV. A good friend and frequent collaborator of Apl.de.Ap, Mor has always been fascinated by the design language of this country and has showcased it in many videos.

Apl.de.Ap revealed, “We have worked together for years as he has shot many Black Eyed Peas’ videos. The shoot was a bit of logistical madness because immediately after this, he was off to Athens to shoot another cool music video.”

Despite some logistical challenges, the 2 Proud act expressed satisfaction with the final outcome. The Filipino-American rapper also revealed that he wanted to showcase a visually cool part of the Philippines that was different from what people usually see on postcards and in films.

“I believe the house has a real aesthetic and character. But I let the professionals take it from there.”

A fun shoot

SB19’s Pablo admitted that the creative process for the MV was different from anything they’ve done as a group. This time around, they’ve worked with a more Westernized approach, not completely relying on a storyboard.

“Apl.de.Ap was fun to work with and very chill,” he said. “His energy was infectious! Even the dancers and the talents gave their all. There’s never a dull moment in the shoot.”

Justin also raved about the experience of collaborating with Apl.de.Ap’s team. While they’re used to embracing story-driven concepts for an MV, the youngest member of the group shared in a statement that it felt great having fun on the shoot, as if it didn’t feel like work at all.

“Somehow it offered a refreshing reprieve,” he said.

“Ready” marks a monumental collaboration between P-Pop kings SB19 and international hip-hop superstar Apl.de.Ap. A shiny club number that captures the sound of summer effortlessly regardless of the season, the collaborative song was penned by the Black Eyed Peas resident rapper with Jean-Baptiste, Vince Nantes, and Denzel. SB19’s Pablo and Josue (Radkidz), on the other hand, contributed to the production of the track, adding final touches and subtle sonic elements.

SB19 and Apl.de.Ap’s “Ready” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the MV here.

Tagaytay Highlands Unveils Transformative Vision for Modern Community Living

Real estate experts have underscored the significance in the growing number of leisure properties integrating strategic township developments in their master plan. Townships are able to meet the preference towards a mixed-use development by providing community living conveniences near residential neighborhoods. South of the metro lies the only unique and exclusive property with the advantages of a planned and managed estate that is far removed from the congestion and other inconveniences experienced in nearby areas. Tagaytay Highlands is on the cusp of seamlessly integrating its main enclaves – the Highlands, Midlands, Midlands West, and Greenlands – into a cohesive, thriving, and self-sustained community.

PREMIUM LEISURE ESTATE
Tagaytay Highlands, the country's leading mountain resort real estate property, is on the brink of an exciting transformation, ushering in a new era of community living. With a thoughtfully designed landscape, this leading development is creating a more future-proofed environment for residents and investors alike.

Tagaytay Highlands is setting a new standard as an integrated township envisioned to grow and expand with robust infrastructure and efficient utilities to enhance the estate.

“Tagaytay Highlands’ residential and recreational spaces will be complemented by commercial, service, and recreational amenities, fostering a vibrant, sustainable, and holistic environment,” says SM Prime Holdings subsidiary Highlands Prime, Inc. (HPI) Senior Vice President Lennie Mendoza. “Tagaytay Highlands will continue to adapt and transform in providing modern conveniences, committed to an exclusive and complete haven of recreation, wellness, and communion with nature,” adds Mendoza.

This comprehensive approach to estate development is making Tagaytay Highlands an even more highly sought-after destination for risk averse investors and wealthy buyers as it rapidly evolves from a secondary home destination to a primary residence for discerning families. In this self-contained community with a cherished history spanning three decades, residents enjoy everything they need to live, play, work, and entertain.

(Artist’s perspective) Highlands Residences is where one’s story comes to life. Located amid the Highlands enclave’s cool mountain air, this low-density condominium development redefines the idea of mountain living.

 

Moreover, recognizing the growing demand for open spaces, 40% of its residential communities’ total development area remains dedicated to unconfined areas, providing residents with breathtaking views of Taal Lake and the Highlands’ dramatic mountainscape.

Spanning approximately 1,500 hectares, Tagaytay Highlands also features dedicated areas for trekking, hiking, and jogging. This premier estate is also known as a bird sanctuary, offering bird watchers and enthusiasts a peaceful escape and a place to pursue their passions.

Conveniently located at the heart of Tagaytay, today’s residents already find Tagaytay Highlands to be just a short drive from essential services and support facilities, including hospitals, schools, shopping areas, industrial and technological parks, churches, banks, and gasoline stations.

Tagaytay Highlands’ evolution into the country’s premier leisure mountain estate epitomizes exclusivity and luxury where stunning natural views and a breezy climate combine to redefine modern community living.

WORLD-CLASS RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS

Poised for such a significant shift buoyed by its newly launched residential lineup and several projects in the pipeline, Tagaytay Highlands continues to provide discerning home buyers with breakthrough residential concepts set amid luxury mountain resort living.

(Artist’s perspective of the community) With a world reshaped a million ways, people search for untouched places to take them back to their roots. Trealva at Midlands West stands as a testament to such a timely quest for peace and quietude.

 

Highlands Residences

A much-awaited archetype of Tagaytay Highlands’ renowned lifestyle is set to unravel – Highlands Residences. Designed to surround the central amenity, this low-density condominium development is envisioned to promote open-air activities, which makes Highlands Residences a destination in and of itself. With Tagaytay Highlands’ residential communities being known for having their exclusive world-class amenities, look no further as Highlands Residences already comes with its own line-up of recreational features that are for the sole use of its residents.

(Artist’s perspective of community shot) Tagaytay Highlands presents a unique living experience: a ‘perfect modern summer’ in Primrose Parks, the newest residential enclave in Tagaytay Midlands. With close-to-nature facilities and a lush linear park oriented towards the east so that a picturesque sunrise jump-starts everyone’s day.

Trealva at Midlands West

For today’s growing number of health-and-wellness-conscious individuals, Tagaytay Highlands has revealed its newest residential district—Midlands West. Rising soon in the heart of Midlands West will be Trealva at Midlands West, its very first residential lot community where the district’s distinct design pillars of ecocentrism, sustainability, health and wellness, and luxury mountain living will converge. This new horizontal project is poised to mark a new beginning for the exclusive mountain complex.

Primrose Parks

Primrose Parks is a low-density community that spans 6.3 hectares of verdant greenery in the heart of the Midlands. It has the luxury of so much refreshing green space—with only 99 lots spread at 16 units per hectare—that it lives up to its theme of a year-round ‘modern summer’. With its future homes endlessly blooming, the residential village is endowed with close-to-nature facilities that include a lush linear park oriented towards the east so that a breathtaking sunrise greets everyone at dawn.

Horizon Terraces Garden Villas Scottsdale

Completing Horizon Terraces’ Garden Villa clusters, Scottsdale is nestled at the highest point within Horizon Terraces, a prime residential location which makes it a cut above the rest of the community. Scottsdale features well-appointed three-bedroom townhomes of 140 to 172 square meters each in total floor area, making it an ideal home for growing families. Each townhouse unit comes with a ground-floor den, a multifunctional space that may be converted into a separate bedroom for extended family members and visiting friends.

Completing Horizon Terraces’ Garden Villa clusters, Scottsdale is located at the highest point within Horizon Terraces, offering panoramic views of stunning sceneries enjoyed from its balconies and terraces, while serving as a safe alternative primary home.

 

Attesting to Tagaytay Highlands’ commitment to excellence in every detail is its developer HPI’s recently bestowed Bronze Award for Developer of the Year (Luzon) during The Outlook 2023 Philippine Real Estate Awards by Lamudi. Also, for Tagaytay Highlands’ dedication to uphold sustainability, safety, and security, it was recently awarded a “Safety Seal” by the City Government of Tagaytay.

HPI has likewise been named by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development as one of CALABARZON’s 2021 Outstanding Developers for Open Market Projects.

Tagaytay Highlands is confident that there will be continued strong interest in its premium themed residential communities as it remains committed to sustain its vision to be the exclusive leisure property of choice amid the demand for luxury mountain resort living.

Get Photographed by the Studio Harcourt Paris through HONOR 200, coming soon in the Philippines

Feel the Parisian vibe with HONOR 200 Harcourt Portrait Mode, incredibly built in for studio-esque photos!


Leading smart devices provider, HONOR, has unveiled its partnership with Studio Harcourt Paris credited to the contribution of AI Portrait Engine to the HONOR 200 Series. The prestigious Studio Harcourt is known for its Black and White Portraits, seen on actors such as Karl Lagerfeld and Cate Blanchett.

“We’re taking portraits to a new level with the HONOR 200 Series! We’re confident that the upcoming AI Portrait Master will wow fans, and we’re even surprised to have successfully sealed the partnership with the reputable Harcourt Studio Paris. Now we’re bringing it to the Philippines! We can’t wait to offer another premium mid-range smartphone in the market,” said Stephen Cheng, Vice President of HONOR Philippines.

As seen in this video, the Studio Harcourt Paris is renowned for its black and white signature portrait.

The Studio Harcourt in Paris is conceived by Cosette Harcourt, an exceptional and modern woman who boldly lent her name to the studio, and the Lacroix brothers in 1934.

The aesthetic of the Harcourt photographic portrait draws its heritage from the glamour of the golden age of black-and-white French cinema, a style of which the HONOR 200 drew inspiration from for its classic and timeless appeal that redefines phone portraiture.
