Luxurious staycation at Pearl Farm Beach Resort

The Davao Bloggers Society received an invite for a group staycation at Pearl Farm Beach Resort. Lucky me, I was able to sign up and have been chosen to join the trip. The best part was, my boss approved my vacation leave on a weekday.

Pearl Farm Beach Resort is just 30 minutes away from Davao City Sasa Wharf. I'm lucky to be living in Davao because the beaches here are within my reach. The pristine beach, the exclusivity, and the amenities are worth every penny. Will show you some photos I took during our trip and a fun video on my YouTube channel to give you a full view of the beautiful Pearl Farm Beach Resort.

Here's my newest vlog about Pearl Farm Beach Resort

Vivo, a young leading global smartphone brand, has been making waves in the country since it first hit in the Philippine market on March 29, 2016. Since its entry into the local scene, the topnotch brand has vied with other strong phone brands and has proven its developing dominion amongst Filipino smartphone enthusiasts.

Last September, Vivo launched the revolutionary V7+. The V7+ instantly proved itself to be an instant hit and the best accessory for any young, hip, and out-and-about individual in the country. Known as a selfie-centric phone, the V7+ perfects all shots for clearer selfies with its 24MP front-facing camera—an industry-first— with LED flash and smart photography algorithms provides for a clear-cut, crisp, and natural-looking photo. Impressive enough, in just a span of fewer than two years, Vivo has found a well-deserved spot in a highly-competitive global arena of mobile smartphones both locally and abroad because of its innovative line of phones that are easy on the pocket.

To maintain the top position in the technology and mobile phone arena, Vivo smartphone brand and one of Qualcomm's key partners has signed a memorandum of understanding worth 4 billion U.S. dollars with Qualcomm last November 9. The said memorandum strengthened Vivo and Qualcomm's technical partnership and patent sharing and will ensure that Vivo’s position on top in the smartphone industry will maintain its momentum. With the help of Qualcomm's optimized platforms, Vivo aims to stay faithful to its commitment of delivering innovative and technologies that are at the forefront in mobile photography, gaming, smart power saving, and many more. With the ever-changing and evolving technology in the realm of communications, Vivo is also working with Qualcomm on research and development in the biometrics space with the introduction of Vivo Under Display fingerprint scanning solution based on Qualcomm fingerprint sensors at the Mobile World Congress in July this year.

This said innovative solution did not disappoint and as such, Vivo plans to continuously work on other technologies, particularly 3D facial identification, palm prints, fingerprints, iris scanning and other biometric technologies, to improve the ease-of-use and security of mobile phone biometrics.

Moreover, with the emergence of 5G, Vivo is looking closely into the significance of human-computer interaction in the 21st-century world and has planned a series of collaborative initiatives to accelerate the formulation of 5G standards. In terms of the 5G SoC (System on Chip), Vivo will also share its many years of consumer market experience with Qualcomm to provide consumers with a better and more customized user experience.

Vivo has always heavily competed to stay as the leader in technology application and consumer insights. In order to fulfill this goal and its ambition to stay at the forefront of technology by working with global partners, Vivo, in October 20, officially headway into Hong Kong and faithful to its global expansion goal into the global market, Vivo will soon introduce their top-of-the-line products to Taiwan, Singapore and Russia, as their first foray into the European market, followed by a push into the African market in early 2018.

Jexx Hinggo 4:32 PM featured , food 44 Comments

Davao City's newest food destination is finally open to cater more food choices at SM Lanang Premier last weekend. From local comfort food to international cuisines, the SM Lanang Premier Food Hall will bring families and friends together to an exciting adventure of flavors.

Located at the 2nd level of the Northwing, it can accommodate over 350 customers. The walls are white and have good lighting from its floor-to-ceiling glass windows. I love their yellow tables because it compliments my food flatlays.
