Intelligent software optimizations for an intuitive smartphone experience

This means that the display on the 6.74” screen remains consistently easy on the eyes, regardless of changes in ambient lighting.

In terms of brightness level, the realme C61 features a remarkably low minimum of 1 Nit and can reach up to 450 Nits (typ) or 560 Nits of peak brightness.

The annual celebration culminated with the performance of “Limitless,” a song embodying boundless possibilities.

MANILA: Acer Day is a celebration and an affirmation of the values that Acer holds close to its heart. It’s also a way for the brand to show customers its latest products, designed to enhance the user experiences and unlock the untapped potential to do more.

This year’s Acer Day theme is “AI’m Limitless,” which aims to inspire people to push beyond their limits and explore new user experiences with Acer’s vast range of PCs and lifestyle products.

On August 4, all roads led to the MOA Arena for the Acer Day 2024 concert, featuring Acer ambassadors SB19, Sandara Park, and G22 with performances from Cup of Joe, TJ Monterde, Ebe Dancel, and Rico Blanco. The show was hosted by Luis Manzano. The concert had an audience of over 20,000 people, both on-ground and online via a Facebook livestream!

“Acer Day helps connect us with our customers through music and different activities that allow them to try the products which provide tools that enable individuals to explore limitless possibilities and bring their ideas to life,” said Sue Ong Lim, Managing Director of Acer Philippines.

Pop/alternative band Cup of Joe opened the show with “Wag na Lang,” followed by its hit songs ” Tingin” and “Estranghero.”

Next up was singer-songwriter TJ Monterde, who wowed the crowd with “Mahika,” “Tulad Mo,” and “Palagi.”

Multi-awarded singer-songwriter and OPM icon Ebe Dancel wowed the crowd with his hits “Hari ng Sablay,” “Makita Kang Muli,” “Wag Kang Umiyak,” and “Bawat Daan.” Dancel recalled that during the pandemic when there were no gigs for artists like himself, it was Acer who first reached out to him to sing for some of the company’s executives and employees at a very small venue.

Singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and OPM rockstar Rico Blanco kept the energy going with “Antukin, “Umaaraw Umuulan,” “Your Universe,” “Kisapmata,” and “You’ll be Safe Here.”

International superstar and Filipino favorite Sandara Park and G22 took to the stage for a never-before-seen stage of “In or Out.” Finally, it was Dara and SB19 for “Reset,” a song they collaborated on for Acer in 2023.

G22, known as the “Female Alphas of P-pop,” performed their songs “Boomerang,” “Bang,” “One Sided Love,” and “Loka.”

Sandara, whose group 2NE1 is reuniting, kept the positive vibes and upbeat mood going “Dara Dara,” “I Don’t Care,” and “I’m the Best+Can’t Nobody.”

SB19 proved why they are called the “Kings of P-pop” with “Gento, “Hanggang sa Huli,” and Crimzone. SB19 also performed an unreleased song titled “Kalakal” with rapper Gloc 9.

Finally, it was time for SB19 and G22 to perform “Limitless,” the theme song of Acer Day 2024. SB19 leader Pablo composed the song. The two groups proved that they, like Acer, are limitless in what they can do.

“The concert and all the Acer Day activities showcase Acer’s AI-powered range of products, which will not only elevate user experiences but also open limitless opportunities,” said Princess Laosantos, Senior Marketing Manager of Acer Philippines.

The fourth Tanduay Bacolod Rum Festival recognizes the different roles people play in building a community as it chooses “Ambagan” for this year’s theme. Happening from August 10 to 18, this year’s event promises food, arts, music and thrills for everyone to enjoy.

A feast that started as an homage to the city’s sugarcane, which is the main source for Tanduay’s award-winning rums, the event has been held annually since 2019.

“On this same ground, my father, Lucio K. Tan Jr., together with Councilor Em Ang, announced the inception of the Tanduay Bacolod Rum Festival. The festival was born out of a desire to ensure that Bacolod, the City of Smiles, remains the heart and home of Tanduay. That wherever Tanduay goes, Bacolod will always be a part of its story,” said Lucio Tan III, President, LT Group and Tanduay Distillers, Inc., before a full house press conference held at the Century Park Hotel in Pasay City, Metro Manila.

Tan, likewise, cited the strong collaboration of Tanduay with the local government in mounting the annual festival. “What’s remarkable about this collaboration is that we are able to tell the story of Bacolod and Tanduay by highlighting their culinary heritage and the artistic prowess of the Bacolodnon, whether in cocktail-making, painting, music, or dance. That, in essence, is what this Rum Festival is all about,” he further said.

On the part of the local government, Councilor Em Ang, Chairman of Bacolod City History, Culture, and Arts, said: “On behalf of our City Government led by our beloved Mayor Albee Benitez, I would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued support. Together, we have built a celebration that not only honors our heritage but also paves the way for future generations to appreciate and cherish. Supporting initiatives like this festival is crucial in preserving our culture and boosting our local economy.”

Through the different facets of the festival, participants are encouraged to contribute, whether through culinary delights, visual arts, and more. On August 10, a motorcade heading to the Bacolod City Government Center (BCGC) will signal the opening of the festival, where local government officials led by Mayor Albee Benitez are expected to grace the ribbon-cutting ceremonies of the Food Park. The Food Park will feature nightly entertainment, local and international culinary delights, and mixology. The Food Park will be open until the last day of the festival on August 18.

On August 12, a Mixology Competition will take place at the Ayala Malls Capitol Center. On August 14-15, the Culinaria Competition will be held. August 16 is designated as Rum Education Day, featuring a Tanduay Plant Tour, followed by a Rum Masterclass and the nationwide Grand Finals of the Mixology Competition at the Seda Hotel.

On August 17, a motorcade parade featuring some of Bacolod’s beauty queens, with Tanduay Brand Ambassador Derek Ramsay, will begin in the afternoon, followed by a Street Dance Competition and a concert at the BCGC. Bands Juan Karlos and Almost will headline this year’s concert performers.

ANOTHER epic dance battle took place at the Red Bull Dance Your Style Manila Qualifiers, held last July 27 at Octopus in Makati.

The intense competition showcased Luzon’s top dance talents. With the conclusion of the series of qualifiers, the country eagerly awaits the grand showdown where finalists will battle it out for the coveted title and the chance to represent Philippines in the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Finals.

The unique global street dance competition swept the nation with the regional qualifiers, challenging dancers from Cebu, Davao, and Manila to show off their talent as they freestyle to a random selection of songs.



Manila witnessed an exceptional level of competition. The competition concluded with an unforgettable performance by Klockwise (Kenneth Martinez), who emerged victorious with his flawless moves and undeniable charisma. Reflecting on his Red Bull Dance Your Style journey, Klockwise said, “I’ve only (followed) Red Bull Dance Your Style via social media, then when it came to the Philippines, I went over to watch it live (and) the (following) year as well. When I was in the audience, I had a vision of myself performing on stage. That’s when I made it my goal that one day I would dance, perform, and show my skills.”

“It’s super unexpected,” Klockwise said of his win. “I just wanted to enjoy, to show what I enjoy doing.” He shared that his preparation for the qualifiers involved listening to a lot of music and freestyling to it. He also said he will do much of the same leading up to the National Finals. “I’ll prepare highlights and ground moves, create new patterns of my locking, and of course, listen to new music.”

Kid Magnus (Flourence Lavesores) who won first runner up, shared that the event felt less like a competition. He said, “I really just enjoyed it. The crowd was so energetic and happy, which made me feel that I was just dancing, enjoying the music, dancing to the beat. I was a bit pressured because (my fellow) competitors (are) well known, but all of them were very nice.”

Tatai, a Japanese dancer who made it to the top 4, expressed her joy and enthusiasm at being able to join the competition. “It’s about letting your mind go crazy, expressing your love for dance, and enjoying music,” said Tatai about her experience. “I want to practice more, perfect my favorite dance, and give it my all on the next stage.”



Klockwise, along with Kid Magnus, Tatai, and Q, also secured their spots for the National Finals, joining R3DMAN (Edrian Alcaria) and MSTR PIECE (Regie Harris Lavestre), the winner and first runner-up of the Davao qualifier. Included in the finalists are Nemesis (Sam Rivera) and Khlai (Khlai Vargaso Batula), the winner and first runner-up of the Cebu qualifier, to complete 8 finalists from the qualifiers. The remaining slots for the National Finals will be given to wildcard picks.

Red Bull Dance Your Style dance consultants, Vince Mendoza and Lema Diaz of the Philippine All-Stars, expressed their excitement for the upcoming National Finals especially after seeing the talents from the qualifiers in Manila, Cebu, and Davao. “There were so many unforgettable moments,” remarked Lema Diaz. “You could tell that everybody brought their A-game and did not hold back. Everybody really wanted to have the top spot to participate in the National Finals.”



Don’t miss the chance to be part of this incredible competition and support your favorite dancers as they compete for glory. Catch the Red Bull Dance Your Style Philippines National Finals live on September 28 and keep an eye out for more details.

In this fast-paced world, our minds are often consumed by the demands of our daily lives, be it work deadlines or financial woes, leaving little room for a key aspect in our overall well-being: gut health. This is why the most-prescribed probiotic brand Erceflora is evolving to meet the needs of Filipinos of all ages, offering probiotic solutions that are fit for every gut need.

While many of us associate probiotics with diarrhea relief, the billions of Bacillus Clausii intelli-spores found in Erceflora can support us beyond just bowel discomfort. These spores have the power to reach the gut alive, multiply, and restore the gut to its natural balance, supporting our overall digestion, immunity, and even mental health.

Now available in drugstores and pharmacies nationwide, Erceflora Kiddie has relaunched into two new variants, Erceflora Gut Defense for regular support to enhance intestinal ecology, and Erceflora Gut Restore, which helps enhance the body’s natural resistance to gut infections for when symptoms arise.

Erceflora Gut Defense: your everyday gut care companion

The world’s #1 probiotic Erceflora Gut Defense is designed to be your regular source of immune support, proactively protecting your gut from moments of potential gut vulnerabilities. It helps you maintain a strong gut flora and keep your gut well-balanced with a healthy amount of good and bad bacteria.

Meant to be taken regularly, Erceflora Gut Defense gives you the immunity and energy you need to function better whatever your plans are — whether it’s just a slow day at home, a busy day at school or at work, or a fun-filled day on vacation.

Erceflora Gut Restore: your answer to moments of gut imbalance

Meanwhile, the doctor-recommended Erceflora Gut Restore is your solution to scenarios where your gut has been compromised, acting as a rapid relief supplement to alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal distress and restoring your gut flora to its natural balance.

Best taken as soon as symptoms arise, Erceflora Gut Restore can fight bacteria that often leave you feeling sick in the stomach, like when you have irregular bowel caused by antibiotic treatments, improperly cooked meats, and contaminated water.

Be worry-free with a healthy gut

As humans, we have an exhaustive list of tasks we have to worry about on a daily basis, and the intricate “how’s” of properly caring for our gut should not be one of them.

Erceflora, through its comprehensive new variants, makes it so that we never have to lose sleep over symptoms of gut imbalance again. Its 4-strain combination of Bacillius Clausii supports our bodies in numerous ways, ultimately helping us achieve lifelong wellness down the line.

You can purchase a box of Erceflora in your nearest drug store or pharmacy, or online through the Sanofi Official Store at LazMall, Shopee Mall, and Tiktok Mall. For more information, visit the Erceflora website here.

The inaugural event unveils its initial round of programming, which includes the addition of a songwriting camp

August 6, 2024 – Bali, Indonesia – After mounting successful in-person events in Singapore for two consecutive years (2022-2023), AXEAN announces its return in a new tropical destination thousand miles away from its former homebase.

Filipino artists such as chart-topping R&B artist Maki, indie-folk collective Munimuni, electronic producer crwn, dream-pop band bird. and soul-jazz chanteuse Muri lead the first wave of acts performing at the international music festival which will take place in Bali, Indonesia, from September 28-29, 2024.

The first intra-regional music showcase event in Southeast Asia gears up for another meaningful convergence at the Jimbaran Hub, located on the southern tip of the island, and surrounded by breathtaking greenery and sunset views.

First time in Bali

“It has always been our vision to make AXEAN a regional traveling festival, changing host countries every year, or even having multiple smaller editions in different countries,” AXEAN Festival co-founder and team leader Piyapong Muenprasertdee reveals. “The reasoning stemmed from us seeing that most Southeast Asian music markets are either very domestic, or receptive towards only western or K-pop artists when it comes to international artists. Thus, if we could help domestic artists cross borders within the region, there could be more opportunities for them to grow an international fanbase. After 2 years being in Singapore, we felt it was the right time to try a new place, and Bali being a tropical paradise with a growing music scene, we think it is the perfect location for artists, delegates and music-lovers alike.”

The festival activities will kick off with a music industry mixer and a private music showcase of Balinese talents on the day prior to the festival. It will be followed by a two-day music conference with networking activities in the morning and a music showcase festival featuring more than 50 music acts from Southeast Asia and beyond.

First wave of lineup

This year’s edition of AXEAN Festival takes pride in its diverse but strategically curated lineup from different parts of Southeast Asia and the rest of the world.

The lineup includes: At Adau (MY), Batavia Collective (ID), bird. (PH), Common People Like You (TH), COTERIE (AU), crwn (PH), Dialog Dini Hari (ID), Funkindustry (FR), Gabe Watkins (TH), Grrrl Gang (ID), HARIKUYAMAKU (JP), I’mdifficult（TW)，Josh Makazo (SG), lightcraft (ID), Linying (SG), LUSS (TH), M-Fatt (KH), Maki (PH), Milledenials (ID), mindfreakkk (TH), Munimuni (PH), Muri (PH), Norith & YuuHai (KH), Puman (CN), Rangga Jones（SG), RuthKo（KH)，San & The Workshop (SG), Skandal (ID), The Dinosaur’s Skin (TW), The Hertz (HK), Tuimi (VN), Uudee’s Swashbuckling Dandies (MN), Vanthan (KH), VVAS (TH).

International songwriting camp

The acclaimed international showcase festival will wrap up with a private songwriting camp, the newest addition to its diverse and extensive range of programming. The initiative aims to foster a spirit of creativity and inclusivity in a globalized setting while nurturing cross-cultural collaboration amongst the finest and most promising songwriters, producers, and artists in the ASEAN region and also from other regions of the world.

AXEAN Festival co-founder and co-director David Siow advocates for a more DIY approach to the songwriting camp, backed by its purpose of empowering and connecting a community of music creatives from all around the world, while ensuring equitable outcomes and opportunities from the series of collaborative sessions.

“For us, it’s all about enabling artists and furthering their careers; for Bali, it just made sense to do a camp and create good vibes, memories, and tracks for all involved,” Siow explains.

Muenprasertdee, the festival’s co-director, also emphasized the importance of the songwriting camp, not just in breaking barriers literally and metaphorically, but also in producing strategic collaborations that have proven to help artists enter new markets by sharing fanbases. He cited Flower.far from Thailand with Fern. from Philippines; and Vũ Thanh Vân from Vietnam with H 3 F from Thailand as some of the recent success stories.

“We hope a songwriting camp will help create an environment to foster more artistic collaborations and cross-border fanbases. Apart from some of this year’s showcasing artists, we have also invited some alumni, guest songwriters and producers to make it more fun and productive! Be on the lookout for new music coming out from our camp!”
