Samsung celebrates Filipino culture and heritage through 'The Plazas of Manila' exhibit and mobile app 'Culture Explorer'

Samsung Corporate Citizenship celebrates the richness of Filipino culture and heritage by using innovative technology to cast the spotlight on historical sites and landmarks.


Once the center of Filipino life, plazas in Manila are either disappearing or falling into a state of disrepair. Few people recognize the historical and cultural significance of these landmarks, and they are often overlooked by heritage conservationists, as well as students of history.



Samsung and the Philippine Science High School Foundation, Inc., to help Filipinos rediscover Philippine’s heritage and culture, teamed up to hold an exhibit entitled The Plazas of Manila at the Yuchengco Museum with noted architect, designer, and urban planner Paulo Alcazaren as the curator. Open from August 27 until September 18, the exhibit highlights the historical and cultural significance of plazas in Manila, with the use of augmented reality on Samsung’s latest digital tablet and Smart TV technology.






























Coinciding with the exhibit is the launch of Culture Explorer, a mobile application that uses augmented reality technology to help people, especially the youth, learn about Manila’s plazas and other cultural and heritage landmarks. The app is virtually a tour guide in one’s pocket, with fresh content and plenty of interesting trivia. It also allows users to navigate around key landmarks and travel back in time to see how the landmark has looked and evolved over the years. Since history is better appreciated with other people, the Culture Explorer app allows users to connect with other Culture Explorers who share their interest in the different sites.

“Through this exhibit, we are able to cast the spotlight on one of the most important elements of Filipino culture and history, the plaza. This exhibit allows us to bridge technology and art together, giving the Filipino youth a chance to learn about their roots,” said Linda Cordova, Executive Director of the Philippine Science High School Foundation, Inc.

Alcazaren, a founding member of the Heritage Conservation Society, believes that the marriage of technology and art will not only benefit artists, but also students of culture and history.

“Technology makes the arts, culture and history more accessible and more appealing to people. It allows them to appreciate everything in a more dynamic manner, injecting a new dimension and giving it a meaning beyond what they get to read in books,’’ said Alcazaren.

The digital exhibit and app launch is an undertaking of Samsung’s Corporate Citizenship Program which is committed to the conservation of Filipino culture and history.

“Philippine history is very rich and it has to be kept alive in the minds and hearts of people. Samsung believes that technology is the perfect medium to link the past with the present, to generate greater appreciation of our rich heritage. Culture Explorer enables users to appreciate the Philippines’ rich history in these everyday landmarks, which can be easily overlooked. It helps to pique interest among the young generation with the use of augmented reality technology,” said Arlita Tayko-Narag, Head of Samsung Public Affairs.


Culture Explorer is compatible with all Android smartphones and tablets, and can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store* and Galaxy Apps. No registration is required for users to enjoy full access to the app.

“We hope that the public will find the time to visit the exhibit and download the Culture Explorer app. It is a great and fun way to learn about history and culture, and will definitely help everyone—students, teachers, and plain curious folk—to appreciate the richness of Filipino heritage,” concluded Cris Concepcion, Director of Content and Services at Samsung Electronics Philippines.

Liza Soberano is on the cover of Metro Magazine's Fashion Issue (September 2015)


The rising star Liza Soberano, photographed by Doc Marlon Pecjo, shares her journey in Metro’s Three-Cover Big Fashion Issue Shot in California.

The September issue is Metro’s ode to California, where many fashion and retail insiders, the likes of Vera Wang, Calvin Klein, and Tom Ford, have heeded the call of perpetual sunshine and a more holistic and relaxed, yet still glamorous, lifestyle.

September is the most important month in fashion all over the world, and Metro takes this very seriously. Each year, they fly to a stylish destination with some of the most exciting style icons of today—from John Lloyd Cruz in Paris, Ruffa Gutierrez to Florence, Iza Calzado in Barcelona, and Solenn Heussaff in Belgium.


This year is no different, as Metro has gone all out by tracing cover star Liza Soberano’s proverbial journey from her quiet hometown to the iconic silver screen mecca. The team took the Forevermore star on an epic roadtrip, a grand production that had the team flying into San Francisco, moving towards San Jose, and traveling all the way to Los Angeles.


“As a prelude to the whirlwind of adulthood that lies ahead for the young star, we wanted to give her a moment of respite from an intense work schedule, and create an opportunity to stroll down memory lane, but also find the inspiration to crank up her craft as an actress,” explains Editor-in-Chief Sarah Meier. “And what better way than to bring her to California? The place that so soundly encapsulates both her past and possible future.”

Liza emerges spread after spread in the best of American brands—from DKNY, Ralph Lauren, Tory Burch, Coach, Calvin Klein, Brooks Brothers, and Tommy Hilfiger.

“I want to keep giving you the absolute best of fashion, empowering women, beauty, luxury, and lifestyle every month. I want to show you examples of people and things that really exist in this world; because they’re out there, and I believe that you, our discerning reader, deserves to be in their company,” says Meier of the September offering.

The issue also includes photo essays inspired by California life, and inspiring stories of Filipino influencers making waves internationally. Through these, she hopes to highlight the “…fantastic creators and creations, events and experiences that amplify our appreciation of what lies on the other end of hard work.”

Fashion remains at the forefront of this issue, with exclusive features on L.A.-based Filipino designer Oliver Tolentino, an interview with top Hollywood celebrity stylists, and a special visit to Tory Burch’s new boutique in Paris. Guides on how to revamp your wardrobe using any of the 438 new Fall looks are found inside, as well as an exhaustive Fall/Winter trend report that will leave you confident on how to update your clothes, accessories, and makeup this the season.
