Tweet

SM Supermalls adds another star on its roster of awards with their silver award win in the Renovations, Expansions, Design and Development category at the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) 2015 Asia Pacific Shopping Center competition, held recently in Taipei, Taiwan.

SM Megamall was once again recognized for their newest wing, the Mega Fashion Hall, citing its world-class facilities; eclectic mix of local and foreign stores; and its breakaway architecture, veering away from the original linear design to a semi-circular visual indulgence.

“The win is a testament to the fact that SM Megamall is a cut above the rest. It sets the standard of bringing world-class quality shopping to Filipinos, and we take this both as a blessing and a challenge to continue providing this kind of shopping experience to our customers,” SM Supermalls President Annie Garcia said.

Along with SM Prime Holdings Inc., Arquitectonica (design architect) and W.V. Coscolluela & Associates (production/executive architects) were also recognized as the partner developers for the extension project of the mall.

With the expansion, SM Megamall is also currently the largest mall in the country, just above other SM properties, SM North EDSA, and SM Mall of Asia.

ABS-CBN announces Angel Locsin will no longer do the DARNA Movie Due to Health Reasons

Tweet

Angel Locsin will no longer be doing Star Cinema’s DARNA movie as ABS-CBN’s Public Relations team officially made an announcement tonight that due to health reasons.

PRESS STATEMENT ON THE “DARNA” MOVIE WITH ANGEL LOCSIN 

It is with deep regret that we announce that ABS-CBN, Star Cinema, and Angel Locsin have mutually agreed that Angel will no longer do the “Darna” movie due to health reasons. Because of her passion, dedication, and commitment to the project, she underwent various rigorous training regimens for two years. Unfortunately, this led her to developing a disc bulge in her spine. This then limits her from doing strenuous activities such as stunts, liftings, and the usage of harness, all of which will be required of her for the action scenes in the film. Aside from that, she will need to undergo rehabilitationand treatment.

And so while we have envisioned her to do the iconic Filipino heroine, Angel’s health and safety are both our primary concern. Hence, the decision.

Fans need not worry. They can still look forward to seeing her in a movie that she is currently shooting with Vilma Santos. Angel’s physical condition does not prevent her from finishing the said project.

Again, we sincerely thank Angel for her hard work and pray for her recovery.

— Kane Errol Choa

Head, Corporate Communications

Angel also made an Instagram post: 

therealangellocsinIt was a painful and hard decision to make, but we had to prioritize my health and welfare. Because of that, despite the two year preparations and rigorous training, I regret to inform everyone that I can no longer play Darna :( Production has to start filming already, and my body is not in the right condition to do anything too physically strenuous. It is only fair for production as I don't want to be the cause of delay or problems because of my recurring back injury. Rest assured that I am still undergoing treatment so I can come back stronger and hopefully, be your superhero again :) Thank you ABS CBN for looking after what's best for me and my health, especially to Tita Malou Santos. Thank you Tito Boy Abunda, Roxy Liquigan, & the rest of the Tonight with Boy Abunda team for giving me the chance to explain my situation in your show. To all Darna fans, I want to thank you for all the love and support you've given me. I will forever treasure that. And I hope and pray that you will give the same amount of love and support to the new Darna. Rest assured that ABS CBN has already chosen the perfect person to fill in Darna's boots. :) Again, thank you😘

Epson to Triple Inkjet Printhead Production with new factory in Japan

Tweet

Akita Epson Corporation, a group company of Seiko Epson Corporation (SEC), will invest a total of approximately 3.4 billion yen (approximately USD $28 million) on the construction of a new factory to increase production capacity of printheads for inkjet printers. Construction will begin in November 2015. The new factory, which will begin operations in the autumn of 2016, will triple Akita Epson's current printhead production capacity.

Epson's printing solutions business provides products and services based on original Micro Piezo inkjet technology to customers in the consumer, office, commercial, and industrial markets. The new factory at Akita Epson will manufacture and assemble inkjet printheads, the core devices used in Epson's high-capacity ink tank printers and business inkjet printers.

Epson's high-capacity ink tank printers are new concept products that meet customer needs for low printing costs while providing genuine Epson print quality. Sales of these printers were strong in the 2014 fiscal year (ended March 31, 2015), with annual unit shipment growth topping 40% and future growth in demand expected. The office market is also seeing annual growth in demand for high-speed business inkjet printers that produce outstanding image quality at a lower cost per print and lower energy consumption than laser printers.

"Akita Epson is an important domestic production site with advanced technological capability and a close working relationship with Epson's corporate R&D function," said Takashi Mitsui, president of Akita Epson.

"We make a significant contribution to the manufacturing capability of the entire Epson Group, sharing with Epson's overseas manufacturing plants the technical expertise we have gained from manufacturing core devices. By using Epson's original production equipment and automating and rationalizing production lines, the new plant will further raise our production capability."

In the Philippines, Epson’s ink tank system printers were instrumental in propelling the digital imaging leader to the Number 1 position.

“Our ink tank printers provide the best value in the market – with a printing cost of only 7 centavos per page, unmatched durability and reliability, and unequalled print quality, Epson is the undisputed brand of choice of Filipinos,” said Epson Philippines Product Manager Russer Cabrera.

Epson is committed to advancing its original technologies and to delighting customers by exceeding their expectations with products and services based on original core devices.
