Manny Pacquiao is on the cover of Newsweek Philippine and Latin American editions

2011-11-02T04:30:00.001-07:00

Pound for Pound King Manny Pacquiao, Saranggani Congressman, an actor, a host and a singer is on the cover of Newsweek Philippine and Latin American editions.

Pacquaio got another title – The Godfather!

The title of this cover story for Newsweek Philippines and Latin America is about our very own Manny Pacquiao, who is described as the Filipino boxing champ and lawmaker as the "pound-for-pound greatest fighter on earth" and "an almost religious figure, whose following is ecstatically cult-like."

Lawrence Osborne covered how Pacquiao rose to popularity, how the current most popular boxing champion in the world spends his time outside the ring and how he amazingly crossed the boundaries of sports.

"To call Manny Pacquiao a boxer is one of those descriptions that don't quite fly, like calling Mahatma Gandhi a Hindu lawyer," he wrote.

Osborne visited the boxer's P35 million mansion in General Santos. In an up close interview, Osborne found what he wanted to hear from Pacquiao.

"It's like being the parent of the whole Filipino people. I fulfill all my promises, unlike most politicians in this country," Pacuiao said.

"Did you enjoy the hospital ceremony this morning? Sarangani, the place I grew up, doesn't even have a hospital, not even one – 500,000 people and no hospital. So I built a hospital. Remember, I don't need to enter politics. I have all the money I need. I could just be enjoying myself. But I have a duty to the people. I want to set the new example, to change the Philippines," the People's Champ added.

Manny Pacquiao left his politics and showbiz responsibilities to prepare for his third fight against Juan Manuel Marquez on November 12, 2011.

NATIONAL ARTIST SALVADOR “BADONG” BERNAL PASSES AWAY

2011-10-27T04:29:00.001-07:00

SALVADOR "BADONG" BERNAL PASSES AWAY

National Artist for Theater and Design Salvador "Badong" Bernal passed away today. He was 66 years old.

"We are deeply saddened by the passing of a great artist," says CCP Vice-President and Artistic Director Chris Millado. "Badong redefined scenic design in the Philippines and was a teacher and mentor to our current crop of designers. He was responsible for creating the beautiful sets and costumes that defined the aesthetics of the various ballet, theater and musical productions at the CCP and other venues," Millado continues. "He will be greatly missed as a theater artist, mentor and friend."

Considered as the Father of Philippine Theater Design, Salvador Floro Bernal produced a brilliant body of works which have enriched Filipino original works in theater, dance and music. Since 1969, Bernal designed more than 300 productions for drama, musicals, operas and concerts such as those for Musical Theater Philippines and Opera Guild of the Philippines. He had designed period costumes for movies like Oro, Plata, Mata and Gumising Ka, Maruja and for TV commercials and calendars. Bernal was known for using indigenous and locally available materials for stage such as bamboo, abaca fabric, hemp twice raw, rattan chain links, and styrofoams in productions such as Rajah Sulayman, Abaniko, La Traviata, Tomaneg at Aniway and Pagkahaba-haba man ng Prusisyon sa Simbahan din ang Tuloy (Much Ado About Nothing). As an acknowledged guru of contemporary Filipino theater design, Bernal created the CCP Production Design Center and organized PATDAT (Philippine Association of Theatre Designers and Technicians) in 1995. As president of PATDAT, which is also the Philippine Center of OISTAT (Organisation Internationale des Scenographes, Techniciens et Architectes du Theatre), Bernal introduced Philippine theater design to the world.

His last CCP production was the musical version of "Banaag at Sikat" with Tanghalang Pilipino. Before his death, Bernal was working on the design of King Lear with PETA to be directed by long time friend and collaborator Felix "Nonon" Padilla.

Salvador Bernal was conferred the National Artist Award in 2003.

Necrological services will be announced later.

‘80289: 80s to the Max’ at Music Museum

2011-10-15T08:44:00.000-07:00

THE WEB MAGAZINE: ‘80289: 80s to the Max’ at Music Museum

Posted by The Web Magazine on 11:40 PM

GEAR up your shoulder pads, chain belts, and high-waist jeans and re-live the unforgettable era of the 80s in Artsy Productions & Promotions’ maiden presentation “80289: 80s Music To The Max” which happens at the Music Museum on Nov. 11 (Friday), 18 (Friday), & 19 (Saturday).

“80289: 80s Music To The Max” is a grand musical tribute to the 80s which features six of the most iconic OPM artists of the decade namely: Lou Bonnevie, Gino Padilla, Jamie Rivera, Chad Borja, Ella May Saison, and Juan Miguel Salvador.

Lou Bonnevie launched her musical career in 1984 via the concert “Next In Line.” Music lovers remember Lou for rock ballads with such passion that her voice doesn’t only weep, it bleeds! Lou is one of the few female performers who can come up with the same intensity in both vocal prowess and performance. Lou is currently swinging from “live” performing to producing music festivals, concerts, albums, and operas. Working behind the scenes provides the correct pace in her career, giving her room for more creation and inspiration. With her wit, charm, and talent, Lou definitely belongs to a rare breed of artists who live the art and not just cry it out.

Gino Padilla’s big break was in a softdrink commercial that was shot in Hollywood, California where he had a duet with the legendary Tina Turner in Pepsi’s “In The Mood For Movin’.” He then went on to record a toothpaste jingle for Close-up which earned him 2 major Awit Awards: Best in Ballad Recording and Song of the Year. Gino’s greatest hits include “Closer You and I,” “Gusto Kita,” “I Believe In You,” and “Let The Love Begin” which became certified Gold and Platinum.

Jamie Rivera gained worldwide recognition when she played the role of Kim in Cameron Mackintosh’s award-winning musicale “Miss Saigon.” Jamie’s actual training began when she joined the Metropolitan Theater Chorus in 1985. She recorded her first full-length studio album under Octo Arts International entitled “Hey, It’s Me” in 1986 and she did five full-length albums for the same label since then. Her hits include “Mahal Naman Kita,” “I’ve Fallen For You,” and “Awit Para Sa Iyo” among many others. Today, Jamie is the country’s undisputed Inspirational Diva, touching the hearts of millions of Filipinos with such songs as “Tanging Yaman” and “Jubilee Song.”

Chad Borja started his career in the 80s as one of the most prominent lead vocalists of several bands such as The New Minstrels, Zee, and Counterpoint Band. His first album “All About Love” produced the hit single “Ikaw Lang” which spawned a blockbuster movie starring Vilma Santos, Ronnie Rickettes, and Cesar Montano. His self-titled follow up album was produced by Richard Merk and was a massive commercial success! After a bout with cancer in 1998, Chad Borja is singing again! Chad was sidelined from performing live for nearly a year due to thyroid cancer. After throat operation and radiation therapy, the balladeer was declared cancer-free and returned to the stage with a series of sold-out performances!

Ella May Saison sings with a powerful voice that captivates her audience. A voice so effective, you will wan tto hear it again and again. Signing since the age of 7, Ella May combines various vocal styles including jazz, gospel, and blues. She started her recording career at 19. Her greatest hits include “Till My Heartache Ends” and “If The Feeling Is Gone” among many others. Her soulful voice earned her the title of “Manila’s Queen of Soul” following her best selling albums “Language of Soul” and “Full of Love, Full of Soul.”

In 1981, Juan Miguel became a finalist during the 4th Metro manila Pop Festival with his original composition, “Magkaisa, Ikaw, Ako, Lahat”, sung by Eugene Villaluz. In 1984 he won a Cecil Award for Best Jazz Composition for his song “Why”, sung by Jacqui Magno.

It was in 1983, Juan Miguel became not just a member/vocalist, but the bands’ Musical Director and keyboardist as well. Of the band called “Rage”. The Rage Band soon became a spear-header and one of the most popular rock acts of the 80’s. The Rage took “live” performing to a different level. In 5 years, they had performed in every major coliseum and theater all over the Philippines; guested in practically every popular TV show; was awarded “Best New Artist” in 1984 by the Guillermo Mendoza Foundation; Was featured in several TV commercials; and had performed in foreign countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Korea and Taiwan. Simply put, Rage is now considered an 80’s Icon.

Toto Gentica , whose musical career traces back to the 80’s with significant collaborations with Gary Valenciano , Kuh ledesma , Zsa Zsa Padilla and Lou Bonnevie will be the show’s music & artistic director.

This 3-hour musical extravaganza will also features a 10 pc band of veteran and current industry players with three lovely back up singers dubbed “Filipinas”. The cast will be supported by ten dancers as it documents the definitive images and sounds of the 80s – from its greatest hits both locally and internationally, a montage of its most memorable movies, the most romantic and thrilling duets, the famed 80s Punk and New Wave genres, the 80s New Romantic Set, the greatest girl groups, as well as songs of the greatest 80s icons among many others. This ultimate 80s musical event culminates with a grand party as powered by the most danceable tunes of the decade!

Peter Pan opens September 30

2011-09-29T21:18:00.001-07:00

The timeless tale about "the boy who never grew up" is reborn.

Come and join us on a thrilling musical journey to " Never Land " as Sir James Barrie's classic legend is magically brought to life in the spectacular Asian premiere of "Peter Pan – A Musical Adventure" set to open on September 30, 2011 at the Meralco Theater.

The legend of Peter Pan has been delighting children for over 100 years. This faithful new version which will be first seen in Asia, promises to be a festive adventure with stunning scenery, show-stopping performances, swashbuckling sword fights, jaw dropping and breath-taking flying scenes.

Produced by Repertory Philippines and Stages Production Specialists, "Peter Pan – A Musical Adventure" with book by the late Willis Hall and music and lyrics by award-winning duo George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Broadway's "Mary Poppins" and "Honk!," among other works) is a charm f a musical with its ability to generate a real sense of magic and wonder.

The musical opened in Denmark, Copenhagen in 1996 and won two top awards for Best Song ("When I Kill Peter Pan") and The Orchestra's Award at the International Musical Of The Year. The production was first broadcast in 2001 as a New Year's Eve concert on BBC Radio 3 and was later presented at Festival Hall in the 2002-2003 Christmas period. Since then, Stiles & Drewe extensively revised the show for a stunning new production with its United Kingdom theatre premiere. In 2007-2008, the show played at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre, directed by Rachel Kavanaugh and a year later, it moved to the West Yorkshire Playhouse.

The musical is set in bustling Edwardian suburbia, and the normality of a children's nursery. The magic really starts with the ingenious introduction of Tinkerbell, a tiny dot of light zipping around and disrupting the toys. Peter and the Darling family are whisked away to the famous land full of colorful characters including the Lost Boys, Mermaids, Crocodile, Tiger Lily and, of course, the dastardly Captain Hook.

Theater stalwarts Jaime del Mundo and Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo shall sprinkle a touch of fairy dust and put together their creative artistry as co-directors of this musical. With an amazingly talented cast and production team, rehearsals for this year's musical spectacular have commenced and the show is already starting to come together.

The all-star cast will have audiences hooked as Sam Concepcion marks his role as Peter Pan – an athletic young boy full of energy, commanding, yet sensitive leader of the Lost boys.

Michael Williams is Captain Hook, a delightfully evil character & nemesis to Peter.

Jaime del Mundo is Mr. George Darling, a stern and unimaginative but loving father. Pinky Marquez is the gentle and caring mother, Mrs. Mary Darling.

Tippy Dos Santos and Cara Barredo alternate as Wendy Moira Angela Darling, the eldest of the Darling children. A very pleasant and charming girl who takes on role of "mother" to the lost boys.

Nacho Tambunting and Luigi Quesada play the role of John Darling, Wendy's younger brother, a bookish young teen-ager who has always dreamed of being in a big adventure.

Juan Miguel Santos and Alessa Zialcita play the role of Michael Darling, the typical youngest child who doesn't want to miss what everyone else is doing.

Robie Zialcita is Smee, Captain Hook's comedic sidekick. A character in direct contrast to Hook in appearance and physical stature.

Kakki Teodoro is Tiger Lily – a cute, perky, willful princess of the Indian tribe.

Joy Virata is the older Wendy Darling and the play's Narrator.

The Lost Boys of Never Land will be played by George Schulze, Kevin Concepcion, Jay Pangilinan, Bym Buhain, Justin Valiente, Nelsito Gomez, Hans Braga and Eric Mercado while the Pirates will be played by James Stacey, Hans Eckstein, Edu Briones, Meynard Peñalosa, Kuya Manzano, Chino Veguillas and Reymund Domingo.

Tinker Bell – a fairy, represented only by a tiny flashing light is played by Kyla Rivera. Her "dialogue" is only heard as tinkling music. She does not speak as we know it, and the other characters "translate" what she "says".

"Peter Pan – A Musical Adventure" is a perfect treat for the whole family.

"Peter Pan – A Musical Adventure" shall run from September 30 – October 30, 2011 with shows on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and matinee shows on Saturdays and Sundays at 3:00 p.m. All performances are at the Meralco Theater, Ortigas Avenue, Pasig City.

The artistic and creative team of "Peter Pan" is led by Baby Barredo (Artistic Director), Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo (Associate Artistic Director), Audie Gemora (President of STAGES), Jaime del Mundo / Menchu Lauchengco- Yulo (Directors), John Batalla (Lighting Designer), Gino Gonzales (Set Designer), Raven Ong (Costume Designer).

"Peter Pan's" production staff is composed of Gidget Tolentino (Production Manager) assisted by Jingay Kaimo of STAGES, Ayam Barredo (Company Manager), Ed Lacson (Stage Manager) and Adul Lasin (Set Execution and Scenic Artist).

The marketing, sales and publicity of "Peter Pan" is led by Toots Tolentino (PR & Publicity-Rep) and Gian Carlo Vizcarra (STAGES), with Rem Zamora, Ayam Barredo and Oliver Usison (PR & Publicity, Marketing), Carlo Orosa (Head of Marketing – STAGES), Cherry Bong Edralin (Sales – STAGES), Marie Talay and Rose Silva (Marketing & Sales) and Raul Montesa and Jojit Lorenzo (Photography).

The show is now open for reservations for limited slots only for corporate shows, schools and different organizations. For inquiries and other information, call Repertory Philippines at 571-6926 and 571-4941 or email info@repertory.ph. Tickets are also available at Ticketworld at 891-9999 or www.ticketworld.com.ph.

"Peter Pan" is presented by special arrangement with Macnaughton Lord 2000 Ltd.

Alodia’s Warm Winter Symphony: Winter Sonata -- the animated series

2011-09-16T04:38:00.001-07:00

Animax launches Winter Sonata-- the animated series

Winter just got warmer as Animax launches Winter Sonata- the anime.

Making its debut in South East Asia, Animax recently launched the anime version of Winter Sonata, the drama that triggered the Korean wave not just in the Philippines but in other countries as well.

In an event held at the Korean Cultural Center in Bonifacio Global City, the leading animation channel celebrated the arrival of this much-awaited series by holding a piano recital featuring Animax's very own Ani-mate, Alodia Gosengfiao, playing the show's iconic theme, "From Beginning 'Til End". Another part of the event allowed members of the press and anime bloggers to catch the first two episodes of the animation series.

Ms. Maria Ong, Marketing Manager of Animax Asia, graced the event that also included a mini-contest and late-luncheon. Ms. Ong who flew all the way from Singapore expressed her delight and excitement over the showing of the animation and was even gracious enough to allow an interview after the event.

The animated series

The much-anticipated animated adaptation of Winter Sonata brings back 23 of the original cast members, headed by Bae Yong Jun as Kang Joon-sang and Choi Ji Woo as Jung Yu-jin, to play the same characters they did on the K-drama.

Trying hard not to offend loyal fans of the Korean series, the anime version draws much of its visuals from the original drama including memorable episodes and looks of the characters. True enough, a lot of the scenes in the anime are very reminiscent of scenes from the original version.

In addition to reliving the tears, laughter and memories of Winter Sonata, fans can also look forward to the conclusion of the anime series that will feature a new live-action drama epilogue not aired during the original drama series.

A winter love story

Based on the 2002 original Korean drama that captured the hearts of millions worldwide, the anime version of this epic romance tells the tragic love story of Jung Yu-Jin and Kang Joon-sang. Both met and became friends while in high school. Drawn together by a series of events both happy and sad, it didn't take long for the two to fall in love with each other.

Tragedy strikes and in an event that tested the faith of both characters, one accident left Yu-Jin believing that Joon-sang was dead while the later had his memory erased. How will things play out for this couple who were torn apart during a cold winter's night?

Winter Sonata premiers on September 20, 2011 at 6:50 PM. Regular showing is during weekdays at 7:00 PM only on Animax.

2011-08-26T04:53:00.001-07:00

Former and future teachers vie for P2 million this Sunday on TV5's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

The search for the Philippines' newest millionaires continues in every episode of the world's most popular game show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, with Bossing of Game Shows Vic Sotto this Sunday (August 28) on TV5.

This week's roll-over contestant, Alyssa Joy Garcia, could successfully be the show's youngest millionaire.

The 19-year old tutor who aspires to be a teacher someday must rely on her stock knowledge to take her all the way to the P2 million top prize.

Also hoping to take home the jackpot is a former teacher-turned-call center agent, Marie Cris Roco. This newly-wed says she wants to win so badly for a happy future with her husband, and hopefully some kids. Her trek to the top won't be easy as she experiences some bumps along the way.

Will one of them take home P2 million? Join Bossing Vic as he guides contestants toward the elusive jackpot on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire every Sunday, 7:30pm on TV5.

ANG TANGING INA NYONG LAHAT

2008-12-18T18:23:00.000-08:00

Synopsis:

The most famous mother is back for the sequel of the highest-grossing comedy movie in the Philippines!

With the one, big, happy family that she has, any woman would admire Ina Montecillo (Aiai Delas Alas) as the embodiment of a perfect mother. But after more than 40 years of doing everything for her family, she realizes she hasn’t done anything for herself. Ina then embarks on a journey of finding her self-worth that surprisingly lands her as the president of the Philippines!

Ina revolutionizes Philippine politics by running the country not as a serious and an uptight leader but as a hilarious and caring mother. Because of this, she gained the trust and the support of the Filipino people. But just as she starts to become the president that everyone loves, she also changes and becomes the mother that her children hate. In the end, Ina has to make the hardest choice of her life – becoming the mother of the nation or becoming the mother of her own children

The New Body Rises to Become the Sexiest Single

2008-12-13T03:45:00.000-08:00

Newly-single, Karylle shows no sign of being down and out. She changed a lot, from switching stations, to managers, and to taking her career to new heights. With a new show, Maruja, a weekly series in her new home station, ABS-CBN, to start taping anytime soon and a new album under works with EMI Philippines record label to be released sometime next year, the new Kapamilya star is psyched to join other singer-hosts in ASAP ’08 starting December 14! So fans have something to look forward to before the Christmas season gets here.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to be a Bench endorser.” Gushed the singer and the dream has become a reality one faithful day when her new manager, Carlo Orosa, meets with Bench’s CEO Mr. Ben Chan and called for her to sign a contract on the spot. “I’ve been a Bench shopper and a huge fan of their basic tank tops which I have for several years, and I can vouch for their superior quality. My fave underwear from way before is the denim colored panties, which I also gave away as gifts to my girlfriends one Christmas.”

Doing the pictorial turned out to be a breeze for the new underwear model. “Noel [Manapat] was one of the first stylists I’ve worked with, and he gave me his assurance before we did the shoot. I definitely liked the MOBO stuff, hands down, of all that I got to wear. It’s colorful, young and very now! In fact, I’ve been bugging Noel about the MOBO line for women since I first saw it during the Bench Blackout show in Araneta.” Karylle even shares a picture taken during the show with the designer, Lesley Mobo, himself. “I became an instant fan and when I learned that he [Lesley Mobo] is known worldwide, it made me proud to be wearing some of his stuff in the ads because he’s one Pinoy we should all be proud of.

Becoming an underwear model for the first time, Karylle looked like a pro changing in and out of Bench Body’s holiday collection. Donning a black mesh bra partnered with Herbench’s red skinny jeans in one, Mobo for Bench’s abstract designed bra and Herbench’s dark denim jeans in another, she certainly looked at ease with her body. “I just finished running a 5k Unicef marathon at The Fort two days before the pictorial, and when I saw the shots from Ronnie [Salvacion’s] camera, the one against the red wall, I was so happy cause you could see the cuts in my tummy, and that’s definitely not photoshopped. I never thought I had those so I promise myself to join more marathons in the future.”

With more free time on her hands these days, Karylle didn’t let her single life pass her by. “I have grown a lot over the past few weeks. I’ve been open to learning a lot of things and getting help from other people. With life, I’ve learned to be more adventurous. I think there’s something a woman gives off when they become single… when I was newly single, I went to the mall and guys were giving me extra looks. I was wondering what changed, but I guess they just know. It’s really a choice… and I chose it over sulking at home in my pajamas eating ice cream. There’s lot of ways to be sexy… your girlfriends will all tell you how beautiful you are and I’m lucky that I have my girls to cheer me up when I’m feeling down… you can go shopping and buy new stuff that’ll make you look sexy… you can go jogging to release your stress.” And her sexiness does show.

Capture Karylle in her sexiest best at www.benchtm.com. Visit your nearest Bench, Herbench, Bench Body and Superbench stores and be as sexy as Karylle.

Nokia Mobile Entrepreneur Awards, May 13 2008

2008-10-30T18:45:00.000-07:00

Manila, Philippines – Nokia recently held the first ever Nokia Mobile Entrepreneur Awards, an award developed to recognize local entrepreneurs who utilize mobile technology in their business. Working together with the Philippine Center for Entrepreneurship, better known as Go Negosyo, the award aimed to encourage business-minded Filipinos to use mobile technology as their primary tool in their enterprise ventures.

“Mobile technology opens many doors for people," says William Hamilton-Whyte, General Manager, Nokia Philippines. "We hope that through this endeavor, many creative and enterprising Filipinos realize that the use of their mobile phone not only connects them to their loved ones but also connects them to a world filled with new opportunities and new possibilities in the field of business."

Go Negosyo Founding Trustee Joey Concepcion said "Go Negosyo is happy to be a partner in this project in line with our advocacy to promote an innovative entrepreneurial culture in the country. It is high time we encourage new business ideas or new ways of doing business to surface, to recognize the good ones and let them serve as inspiration for others."

The NMEA was open to all Filipino citizens with at least 18 years of age, who are entrepreneurs engaged in a thriving business for at least a year, have a business license to operate and utilizes Nokia products or services and other mobile services as its primary business, and were able to show increase in business and submitted audited reports for evaluation. The Grand Prize winner won P300,000 in cash while the 1st runner up received P150,000 in cash. Both winners also received a Nokia E51 mobile phone.

The award was based on the innovation employed and creativity in the use of mobile service in the business operations, the extent of the usage of mobile service in the business operations given the nature of the business, the impact of the usage of mobile service in the business revenues, and the quality of customer interaction and service. Participants to this search were entrepreneurs from all over the Philippines, some as far as Baguio, Davao, and Dipolog with businesses ranging from web applications, graphic design, and marketing services.

Nokia Mobile Entrepreneurs

Oliver Kuy emerged as the 1st runner up. Oliver's business, Kuydigital Design Consultancy, started as a contractual consultant for the past seven years and has officially registered the business last year. It was a one-man venture that provides excellent service in the area of design and marketing. It has grown into a company catering to the visual design needs of multinational companies, local corporations and even individuals. The company uses mobile service to create its total business package. With the whole world as its office, the company frequently depends on mobile services (WorldMate, eBuddy messenger, Mobile Gmail-Java, Nokia Mobile Softwares, GPS/GPRS, Bluetooth, Wifi, and Infrared).

The Grand prize was awarded to Alvin Kingson Y. Tan of Technominds, Inc. Established by young professionals from the IT and business fields, Technominds, Inc. is a provider of SMS solutions, database management, and web applications. The company specializes in mobile technology-based solutions and computer applications. Technominds, Inc. first ventured into universal loading

Mobile technology has allowed Kuydigital to serve its clients on a 24/7 time frame because the company believes that creativity has no time limits and boundaries. They constantly interact with their clients through several means. They encourage them to be available online through various ways. This kind of setup encourages communication and freedom to express ideas and thoughts anytime, anywhere.

Canon kicks off Image Nation Celebration campaign with 32 new imaging products

2008-09-25T13:20:00.000-07:00

25 September 2008 – Live Samba music, parading dancers, a deluge of colors and a spectacular feast: all the glitz and glamour of a modern Mardi Gras come to life as Canon Marketing Philippines stages a grand launch of their 32 new products at The Fort’s NBC Tent. From a wide range of printers to an exciting variety of compact and professional cameras, these new models are sure to delight as well as further boost Canon’s position in the market, and all are unveiled today with befitting pomp.
Aptly tagged “Image Nation Celebrations”, Canon’s fourth quarter campaign builds on the happy and carefree nature of the Filipino as well as our love for anything and everything festive. Canon kicks off the campaign with its press and business partners and later in the day opens its doors to Canon lovers for the EOS Photographer’s Night. This signals the beginning of the much anticipated Christmas season in the Philippines. Canon showed a vast product lineup of exciting new products that can suit any loved one on your Christmas list or even as a well-deserved gift to yourself.
The new offerings spanned across the entire consumer brand portfolio. It included new offerings from PIXMA Printers (three single function printers and five multifunction printers), three Canoscan flatbed scanners, four LaserShot Laser Printers, two XEED Projectors, two high-end Digital IXUS camera models, seven new PowerShot digital cameras, one (1) high-end high definition VIXIA Digital Camcorder, two new SELPHY Compact Photo Printers and three new EOS Digital SLR Cameras.

Great expectations are fulfilled with 3 new EOS digital SLR cameras
The EOS Digital SLR cameras took center stage within the EOS Photographers Night. This part of the celebration unveiled the newest members of the Canon’s DSLR family tree: the entry-level 10.1MP EOS 1000D, the HD-ready mid-range 50D and the highly-anticipated pro-level 5D Mark II.
The predecessor of the three-year old 12.8 megapixel EOS 5D, the EOS 5D Mark II primarily boasts of a 21.1MP full-frame 35mm CMOS sensor and Canon’s newest image processor, the DIGIC IV. Thanks to this processor, users get to enjoy higher speed imaging processing (1.3X faster), improved noise reduction at high ISO speed with little/no effect on shooting speed, natural colour reproduction, live face detection, enhanced functions, HDMI output, and lens peripheral illumination correction. The 5D Mark II also hosts a bevy of advanced features such as recording full high-definition (HD) movies at 30 frames per second (fps). In addition, Canon bundles the 5D Mark II with the superb EF24-105mm lens (standard retail price is at P182,550, available locally starting December 2008).

A great shot every time with PowerShot
Canon rejuvenates its mid-range PowerShot line-up with the launch of PowerShot A1000IS, A2000 IS, SX110IS and E1. These feature-rich cameras are now twenty percent smaller and more compact and are powered by Canon’s trademark DIGIC III Imaging Processor for ultra-responsive performance and superior image quality. All four cameras have Optical Image Stabilizer to counteract camera shake and combat image blur.
These four cameras are also armed with Advanced Face Detection Technology which includes Face Select and Track, Auto red-eye correction, Face Detection AE/AF/FE/WB and a host of other features aimed at giving you the power to take only the best people shots. This is backed up by Canon’s intelligent blur control technology, Hi-ISO Auto with Motion Detection Technology, which detects the motion of the subject and consequently optimizes ISO settings to product the best image quality.
Set to make waves at the higher end of the range are the new members of the PowerShot Telephoto Series, the PowerShot SX1 IS and SX10 IS. Joining this dynamic group is the new model in the revolutionary G-series – the PowerShot G10. Equipped with the new DIGIC IV Image Processor, these models include powerful features like Servo AF, Intelligent Contrast Correction, Face Detection Self Timer and a change in movie recording format from .MOV to .AVI. Truly, these cameras put the “power” in PowerShot.

Digital IXUS: The science of making things beautiful
Firmly established as Canon’s fashion and lifestyle line, the Digital IXUS now redefines that image by proving that genuine style is backed up by substance. Available in classic matte black and silver, the new Digital IXUS 980 IS is more than a looker: with 14.7 Megapixels, Optical Image Stabilizer and a DIGIC IV Processor, it’s sure to make heads turn for all the right reasons. Moreover, it is the first in the Digital IXUS line to be equipped with full shooting functions.
Canon also spices up the line with the Digital IXUS 870 IS, a wide-angle camera that inherits all the winning combinations of style and performance fron its acclaimed predecessor. Armed with 10 Megapixels, 4x Optical Zoom and Optical Image Stabilizer, the 870 IS lets you capture breathtaking landscapes and impressive group shots in the most luxurious style.

Add color to life and immortalize memories with VIXIA Camcorders
Right on the heels of the recently-released Dual Flash Memory camcorders HF10 and HF100 is Canon’s VIXIA HF11 AVCHD Dual Flash Camcorder. It boasts the same great features as the earlier HF models – a powerful 1/3.2” Full HD CMOS Sensor, 12x Optical Zoom, Intelligent Battery, Optical Image Stabilizer and more – and further kicks up the game with its new 24Mbps HD recording. Just like the technology behind, the HF11 is set to revolutionize the videography landscape.

Make Someone Happy with SELPHY
Bask in the brighter, happier side of life with the fun line of SELPHY Compact Photo Printers. Two new models – the SELPHY ES3 and ES30 – are sure to delight with enhanced image effects and even more creative print options. These stylish printers also let you print with an integrated Gold and Silver ink and paper cartridge: add sparkle to your photos – literally! Moreover, reprinting your favorite photos is now also hassle-free with ES3’s 1GB internal memory. Print instantly, conveniently, and share the fun and memories with SELPHY.

Duplicate your memories with CanoScans
Canon offered various options to visitors in scanning and replicating memorable picture printouts or important documents during the event. With the new CanoScan 5600F, users can scan a maximum of six frames of 35mm film strips or 4 frames of 35mm slides. Yielding scans with a 48 bit depth, the CanoScan 5600F also utilizes the Dual Colour Gamut Processing Technology to faithfully reproduce copies as well as automatic dust and scratch reduction and fading / grain / backlight correction for cleaner copies of old photos. This flatbed scanner is compact and light with dimensions of 272 x 491 x 97 mm (WxDxH) and 4.3kg, and can scan documents at approximately 11 seconds.
The Lide 25-successor CanoScan Lide 100 boasts of a 24-second scan speed (A4 size at 300 dpi) and an advanced Z-Lid to scan even thick and bulky items. It’s friendly to users, with four buttons that allow one-touch operations. Meanwhile, the CanoScan Lide 200 also possesses an advanced Z-Lid to scan thick and bulky items as well as a set of one-touch operation buttons – but differs with a feature for upright scanning (clip-on stand included), easy multi-page documents filing with enhanced PDF function, and USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connectivity.

Print more for less? I can on PIXMA
Making their cameos as well during the event were eight PIXMA Printer models, boasting of superb features across its various models. Canon gave visitors a glimpse of the PIXMA iP1980, the perfect success to Asia’s best-selling printer. It makes use of the FINE cartridges, ChromaLife 100 technology where photos can last up to 100 years, and a stamp of environmental friendly approval as it supports International Energy Star Program and conforms to the European RoHS Directive, where a restricted usage of hazardous materials like lead, mercury and hexavalent chromium is practiced.
Also with ChromaLife 100 technology and an environmental nod, the PIXMA MP198 multifunction printer is geared up with an advanced Z-Lid to scan thick and bulky materials, a copy speed of 19cpm mono / 14cpm color, a Dual Colour Gamut Processing Technology to faithfully reproduce the colors of the original in copies, and a 4-in-1/2-in-1 printing and copying feature to reduce paper use.
The new Wi-Fi Multifunction printers, PIXMA MP628 and PIXMA MP988 also stood out during the event, with the MP628 boasting of a five-color individual ink tank system, the ChromaLife 100+ technology (preserves photos in its pristine condition even centuries later), 2400 x 4800 dpi CIS scanning feature, an easy-scroll wheel and a self-opening paper output tray, among others. Almost similar to the PIXMA MP628, the PIXMA MP988 differs with a six-color individual ink tank system with new Gray ink, and an energy-saving, quick response White LED light source for reflectives – in addition to its environmental-friendly features.
The Pictbridge-compliant PIXMA iP3680 comes with a five-color individual ink tank system, ChromaLife 100+ technology, and compatibility for USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices. The PIXMA iP4680 meanwhile proposes a faster and convenient printing process with its auto Duplex Printing feature and two-way paper feedings, in addition to its capability for printing over CD/DVDs.
The multi-function PIXMA MP545 scans with 2400 x 4800 dpi CIS at 48 bit (input) / 24 bit (output) and copies at speeds of 24 cpm mono / 16 cpm color (bolstered by the Dual Colour Gamut Processing Technology). It also has a self-opening paper output tray, quick start function, an easy-scroll wheel and an Auto Photo Fix function. Another multi-function printer, the MP638 has a five-color individual ink tank system, Dual Colour Gamut Processing Technology, a ChromaLife 100+ technology and speeds that zoom up to 25 ppm (mono printing) or copying at 19 cpm color.

Built for speed – Canon’s Laser Shot printers
Speed is the name of the game with Canon’s newest Laser Shot printers. The color printer LBP5050/ LBP5050N prints as fast as 8ppm for color A4-sized printouts and 12ppm for monochrome versions, thanks to its Canon Advanced Printing Technology (CAPT) 3.0 with Hi-SCoA (High-Smart Compression Architecture). The latter tech compresses print job data into manageable sizes, speeding up the process. Even with such power, the LBP5050/5050N doesn’t sacrifice quality bolstered with an Automatic Image Refinement technology. More compact and streamlined in form, the LBP5050/5050N has a built-in 16MB RAM memory (no additional memory required), and USB 2.0 High Speed network connectivity (a 10Base-T / 100Base-TX option for the LBP5050N).
The Laser Shot LBP3050 leaves the competition in the dust as it churns out printouts as fast as 8.5 seconds, and rushes at 14ppm print speed for A4-sized documents at 2400 x 600dpi (with A.I.R. technology). It too comes with CAPT 3.0, Hi-SCoA feature, and a USB 2.0 High Speed Connectivity. With a built-in 2MB RAM memory and all-in-one toner cartridge, it only weighs 5.4 kgs. The Laser Shot 3150 ups the ante with a 16ppm (A4 size) print speed.
The Laser Shot 3250, on the other hand, zips at 23ppm monochrome and a first printout at 6 seconds. It comes with a built-in 8MB SDRAM memory but weighs more than its fellow new Laser Shot models, at 6.2 kgs.

Exceed expectations with new XEED projectors
Canon also clearly projected they are at the forefront of innovations with two new XEED projectors. The XEED WUX10 bundles LCOS projector technology with the industry-leading Widescreen Ultra eXtended Graphics Array or WUXGA, which is sure to blow viewers away with its display resolution of 1920×1200 (or 2,304,000) pixels and a 16:10 screen aspect ratio. It also means that the XEED WUX10 can reproduce bright, high contrast computer images and full 1080p High Definition (HD) videos, thanks to its 3200 lumens brightness courtesy of the Canon AISYS Optical System.
This projector also has a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 1.5 x zoom lens, DVI port, HDMI connector (allowing HDCP encryption support) and an RJ-45 network port to connect directly to a network as well as integrate with industry-standard AV control systems. It operates at 31dBA in Quiet Mode, and with a lamp lifetime to a maximum of 3000 hours.
The XEED SX80 is the first Pictbridge-compatible XEED projector, which Canon spices up with an HDMI Interface and USB connectivity. It also packs LCOS reflective panels and promises superior image quality with its AISYS optical system and 3000 lumens brightness. The XEED SX80 comes with an intelligent One-Touch Instant Convenience for Auto Focus, Auto Input Selection, Auto Keystone Correction, and Auto Color Screen Correction.

The Canon Image Nation Celebration!
Canon unveiled all the new products inside thematic booths and backgrounds that attracted the eye. Product managers were on deck to introduce each of the new units and were available to elaborate on the new features and technologies for the numerous visitors at the event.
Turning it into the grand celebration it is touted to be, Canon set the event with a Mardi Gras backdrop – complete with Samba music and parading dancers.
The imaging giant jazzed up the festivities with a photo exhibit by renowned photographer and loyal Canon EOS professional, Mr. John Chua in his exhibit entitled “Sky Bound” which was a collection of his breathtaking aerial shots taken through the years using his Canon 1DS Mark III. Chua has been using the Canon system for the most part of his successful and well-awarded career in commercial photography.
This day also marked the first photo exhibit of Canon Brand Ambassador and well-loved actor Mr. Richard Gomez, with a collection of his travel, landscape and human interest photographs, shot through the years using his film, point and shoot and Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras. Another highlight was a collection of the best “Celebration” themed photos by loyal Canon users who submitted their photos especially for the event.
An IXUS fashion show was beautifully executed which featured designers from SOFA (School of Fashion and the Arts) and their works, side-by-side with Canon’s stylish new IXUS Digital Cameras. An exhibition of young graphic designers and artists, aptly entitled PIXMAgineers also showed their digital works of art brought to life with the latest Canon PIXMA Printers.
Of course, a party is not one without games, music, and dancing. Canon offered a remarkable set of each in the Image Nation Celebration Arena. Scenic vignettes were also erected, allowing guests who wanted to try out the new EOS Digital cameras to have their pictures taken along with gorgeous models. The pictures were printed using the latest PIXMA and Selphy Printers.

Steven, the World Champion, is the 22News Athlete of the Week.The 10-year-old broke two of his own world records at the World Championships of Sport Stacking in early April. Purugganan beat more than 1000 competitors of all-ages.
Purugganan says it feels "really good" to be the fastest in the world. Purugganan practices for 1 hour every day, but only started two years ago. He started when he saw the 2006 world championships on ESPN. Their family went out to Target and bought a set of speed stacks and he got better and better every day.
In the time it takes a telephone to ring just once, Steve can stack and unstack 12 cups. His world record is 1.86 seconds in the 3-3-3 event. Purugganan's next goal is to complete the cycle, another event in which he holds the world record, in less than 6 seconds.WWLP
