Maine Mendoza Has Changed

Phenomenal Star Maine Mendoza is a hot topic once again. Recently, a new endorsement shoot of hers leaked online and her hawk-eyed legions of fans were quick to grab the receipts. She was spotted at what appears to be the pictorial shoot for Maxi-Peel and word has it, she's the new endorser of their latest product called Maxi-Peel ZERO. 



Here's what we know: 

Word has it that she's looking for something more than just a basic cleanser, and she feels that her old brand simply doesn't make the cut anymore given her very hectic lifestyle. That's why she's making the switch. We've seen Maine endorse all sorts of products but over the years, she has become much more selective in terms of products and brands she works with, choosing only the ones that she truly believes in. This is why she's not just the top celebrity endorser in this country, she is also the most compelling. Just very recently, Maine was one of the winners at the 8th EdukCircle Awards bagging two awards, the Most Influential Female Endorser and the Best Female Variety Show Host. 

Could this be the reason why Maine has been posting more selfies recently? Her supporters have been pointing out that her skin is to-die-for. Not a blemish in sight! And they are quick to add that her glowing skin is the perfect complement to her endearing personality. 

Reese Dianson, a Maine loyalist, proudly exclaims: "Love namin si Maine because with her, what you see is what you get. Hindi mo siya mapipilit sa isang bagay na ayaw niya. Kaya kung magpapalit nga siya ng brand, yun talaga ang kanyang paniniwala. So kami, as true believers, lilipat din kami!" For Becca Lizada who has followed Maine from the first time she made her debut at Eat Bulaga: "Si Maine, totoong tao yan. Walang halong kaplastikan. Bawat galaw at salita niya, yun siya sa real life! Kaya sa endorsements niya, choosy si Maine dahil pangalan niya ang nakataya!". 

True or not, Maine's fans are buzzing with excitement and if it is, we're betting that just like any product she endorses, Maxi-Peel ZERO will soon be flying off the shelves, too.

How OPPO’s VOOC flash charge helps you save 31 days in a year

MANILA, October , 2018 – Imagine what you can do with your smartphone if you can save 31 days in a year without the hassle of wall-charging with cables or carrying a power bank. In that time, you can not only make many important calls, but also focus on your passion, work, and day-to-day activities related to your device. 



A low-battery notification is the last thing that a busy, multi-tasking individual needs, especially during crunch time. When a smartphone’s battery power gets dangerously low, you know that high-performance tasks like calls, listening to music, watching videos, playing games, or using mobile data are no-no’s until you plug the device in to a wall socket or a power bank. 

However, access to a power source isn’t a guarantee that you can immediately jump back to the activities interrupted by a low-battery notification—more often than not, smartphones require around an hour to bring the user back to normal operations. 

With a fast-paced lifestyle, waiting around for your device to stock enough power to fuel your most pressing tasks simply won’t do. You need a smartphone that can keep up with your pace, like the OPPO Find X or the OPPO F9. 


Groundbreaking rapid-charge technology 

The high-end OPPO Find X and mid-range OPPO F9 both boast of the breakthrough VOOC Flash Charge technology. This groundbreaking proprietary tech was developed by OPPO to deliver more power to select devices in a lot less time. Compared to other quick-charge features in the market, VOOC uses a higher current instead of increasing the voltage during the charging process. 

A standard 5V 1A charger reaches its full charge in 200 minutes when the smartphone is off, and 255 minutes when turned on. With OPPO’s VOOC flash charger, it zooms up to full charge in only 76 minutes when turned off and 95 minutes when on. When the smartphone is off, the VOOC flash charger charges 124 minutes faster than the standard charger. If a user charges his or her phone once a day, they save 45,260 minutes in a year, which is converted to approximately 754.33 hours, or 31 days—or one whole month! VOOC lets you power through your days with this extra time, and achieve more throughout the year. 

User safety is also an OPPO guarantee with this technology—VOOC Flash Charge comes with five layers of protection that cover the charging adapter and the smartphone for a lightning-fast and super-safe charge. 



Do more in less time 

Don’t have 76 minutes to get to the full charge? The VOOC Flash Charge has you covered no matter how quick you need to be out the door. Within just five minutes of charging, you can expect to enjoy up to two hours of call time—more than enough to make all the important calls you need to before you get another charging opportunity. 

Five minutes is all it takes to jump right back into the action with OPPO VOOC. You can take hundreds of photos and videos, plan and book your next trip, or answer important emails wherever you might be. 

Fifteen minutes of charging also empowers you to listen to your favorite tunes, podcasts, and audio files for up to 30 hours; that’s around 1,200 songs in just fifteen minutes, roughly the length of five songs! 

Entertainment buffs will be delighted that they can enjoy up to five hours of video time with a single 25-minute charge—more than enough juice to binge on five episodes of your favorite series or two of the latest blockbusters on the go. For avid mobile gamers, all they need is 35 minutes of charging time for more than four hours of intense gaming marathons! 

The OPPO Find X is available for PHP 49,990.00 (8GB RAM, 256GB ROM) while the OPPO F9 retails for PHP 17,990.00 (6GB RAM, 64GB ROM).

GCash Offers Up to 20% Discount at Lazada 10/10 Beauty Day Sale

Thousands of health and beauty items to have prices slashed off 



Taguig City, Metro Manila — Hot off the heels of their 9.9 Sale participation last month, mobile wallet provider GCash will headline once again on the 10.10 Beauty Day Sale for October together with Lazada. 

With unique and special finds, women have been regularly flocking the Health and Beauty category of Lazada to make it one of the most significant categories of the platform. 

Lazada will be dedicating the said date into putting on sale thousands of beauty care products, such as fragrances, hair care, make up, and skin care items to name a few. And to make the offers even more appealing, GCash is providing more discounts if people use it as their payment option. By simply using the voucher "GCASHBEAUTY100" upon checkout, customers will get an additional 20% discount on their total cart purchase (discount capped at PHP 100). 

"GCash is committed to enabling Filipinos not only with financial inclusivity, but with making their online shopping experience more convenient. With the new direct GCash checkout feature on Lazada, customers can now check out faster and never worry about not having a valid payment method again," said Anthony Thomas, President and CEO of Mynt. Mynt is the company which operates GCash. 

GCash users can now pay directly using their GCash wallet upon checking out. An existing user will just need to select GCash as the payment method, link their GCash-registered mobile number, and tap a button to confirm payment. The enrolled GCash account would then be saved as the primary payment method on future purchases, saving log-in times. 

To put money on GCash, a customer can go visit over 16,000 nearby GCash Partner Outlets nationwide, like 7-Eleven, SM Business Centers, Robinsons Business Centers, Puregold, and Villarica Pawnshop branches, and tell the cashier to cash-in to their GCash account. Cashing-in to a GCash account is free. Once funded, customers can now shop and checkout at Lazada.
