The Magic Junior Arnis Clinic visited ten (10) schools around Metro Manila to promote not just proper exercise but also the importance of eating right. The program also promoted the value of discipline through an Arnis demonstration and tutorial from Kali Arnis Martial Arts Organization.

More than 500 students from the Colegio De San Juan de Letran, St. Scholastica's Academy, Lourdes School of Quezon City, St. Ignatius of Loyola School, Doña Aurora Elementary School, PCU-Union Science Elementary School, Adamson University, FEU-FERN College, Makati Elementary School and Philippine Women's University – JASMS took part in the Magic Junior Arnis Clinic.

Aside from the Arnis training, the kids were also treated to Magic Flakes Junior Crackers, Magic Creams Junior Butter & Berry, Magic Creams Junior Chocolate, and Magic Creams Junior Condensada during the event.

C1 Originals : "Dayang Asu"

DAYANG ASU

There’s money in the quarry business. Obscene amounts of money. And where there’s that much money, there’s corruption. Legalized corruption at that. Tonton is the son of a quarry master, a newbie thrust into a world he can’t quite fathom nor navigate eventually sucks him in like a vortex and forces him to make a decision that would change his life forever. 

Bor Ocampo call his debut feature “Dayang Asu”, which centers on the conflicts and tensions that simmer between a father and son, his homage to the Pinoy action flick and in many ways, it does genre proud, particularly because Ocampo nuances the genre tropes with tinges of noir-ish anxiety and pathos and local color, something Ocampo, who grew up in the film’s Pampanga setting, knows a little too well. Ricky Davao and Junjun Quintana play the father and son at the dark heart of the film, respectively.

“Dayang Asu” will have its gala night on November 10 (Tuesday) in SM Megamall Cinema One at 7:20PM. It will also screen during Cinema One Originals 2015, which starts on November 9 until the 17th, at select Trinoma, Glorietta, SM Megamall and Resorts World cinemas.

OPPO Philippines teases smartphone with premium looks

Tech giant gives fans something to look forward to in the holidays

After the successful September launch of the R7 Series in the Philippines, global tech giant OPPO has hinted at a new smartphone that’s coming “soon.”

The company showed off a teaser image of a device sporting a white colorway and a gold trim on its social media accounts. Judging by the photo, it looks as though the company will give its fans something to look forward to in the holidays.

2015 has proven to be a prolific year for the phone manufacturer, having released eight phone models this year alone. OPPO Philippines' recent releases, namely the Mirror 5, R7 Lite, and R7 Plus, have all been successes and immediately sold out during their first weekend of availability.

And if there's one underlying theme across the said OPPO devices, it's that they are priced more aggressively than their counterparts from big-name brands. That said, it's not hard to imagine that OPPO would use the same strategy this time around.

“The Philippine market is clamoring for value-for-money options these days,” said Stephen Cheng, Brand Marketing Manager at OPPO Philippines. “We can see a clear demand for phones that may be affordable but don’t look like it, so we’re giving the people more of what they want. Smartphone buyers are in for a treat this holiday season.”
