End Of An Era: Techbox Philippines Presents 'The Last Of The Nokias'


Wazzup Pilipinas!

From March 13-15, Techbox Philippines will offer a last-chance, limited-time only, knock-your-socks-off clearance sale of Nokia handsets.

“This is it - the last chance for Nokia enthusiasts to get the last line of smartphones with the Nokia brand on them,” said Angela Gutierrez, Business Unit Head for Techbox Philippines.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Microsoft announced that it will discontinue the use of the ‘Nokia’ brand in its smartphones – a move that aims to simplify its marketing messages and bring all its smartphone offerings under one brand.

This marks an end of an era –Nokia, a brand synonymous with cellphones for more than two decades and one that pushed the advancement of mobile phones will no longer be present in the handset race.

“Nokia is one of the most popular mobile phone brands across the globe – especially for us who grew up with the brand. This is a momentous conclusion of a remarkable tech and lifestyle story. Our event will not just be a sale – it’s a tribute to the phone we’ve known and loved since we were kids,” said Angela. “This is the best – and last – time to own a Nokia,” she added.

WD Holds First Gamers Cup for Media


Wazzup Pilipinas!

WD, the world’s leading provider of excellent computer storage solutions, hosts its first ever gaming tournament for the Philippine tech press on March 6, 2015 at Imperium e-Sports Bar and Video Game Lounge in Metrowalk Commercial Complex, Pasig City.

Your friendly neighborhood Pambansang Blogger ng Pilipinas was of course among the many members of the media who dared join a team and compete in a friendly game of Counterstrike Global Offensive. What made the competition a lot more stressful was the fact that we were competing for a chance to win WD Green 6 TB desktop drives and a 120 GB Kingston SSD. That's for each member of the five-man team. Thus WD gave away a total of 5 desktop drives and 5 SSDs.

Wow! I think I perspired a lot eventhough Imperium was airconditioned, especially when the games was a close fight to the win.

I actually invited a blogger friend so he could be among my team mates but unfortunately the team members were assigned via fish bowl draw so I ended up with other members. It was a good thing I never insisted to change groupings since many of my team members were pros in Counterstrike.

Four teams were created to battle each other out for an elimination round via two teams versus challenge, and the final round between the two remaining teams on a best of three win. Since we won in the first two, we were unanimously the declared winners.


HotelQuickly Launches Full Operations in the Philippines


Wazzup Pilipinas!

For travellers that are always on the go, it is a tedious task to always have to book a hotel in advance especially when you are not really sure when and where you are to find yourself next. It's about time a hotel booking app that allows last minute booking was created to help alleviate the stressful hotel booking process. Better than just showing up or being a walk-in, a mobile app that gives you to[ choice of 3 to 5 star hotels is a great help for travelers.




Raphael Chohen, CSO and Co-Founder of HotelQuickly, the pioneering last minute hotel booking app has announced the full operations of their services here in the Philippines during the launch held at A Space Manila located in Makati.

The mobile app provides the best possible accommodation for travellers as compared with other online offers. The more than 5,000 partner hotels offering an average of 28% savings all over the Asia-Pacific is an indication that the free-for-all app would attract a huge number of users wanting to get the beast deals online.

Though the mobile app is useful only for a-day-before booking, it is the best service that can offer both convenience and savings especially for the individuals who travel a lot. The app conveniently displays the top 10 hand-picked hotels of a city so travellers won't need to browse over hundreds of choices. It is also available in 9 languages and an easy-to-use interface. The app also undergoes continuous product improvement to ensure they find better ways to serve their users.


Simplivity Offers Massive TCO Savings and Accelerated Data Efficiency


Wazzup Pilipinas!

There's a new solution in IT administration that offers 300% savings in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increased data efficiency via a global unified management using VMWare vCenter administration. 

I've been a network and systems administrator for several years and experienced a multitude of servers crowding our data centers. This includes a spaghetti-like wiring that would often confused us, plus the extreme heat dissipation emanating from the machines may it be 1u, 2u or blade servers.

Thus I was extremely surprised that there is now a technology that would put away the prehistoric dinosaurs of the data center. I guess with this technology, one server cabinet inside our data center would suffice already.

Imagine your towering servers filled with lots of servers being replaced by a couple of 2u servers. The hyperconvergence technology offers up to 3x reduction in TCO offering reduced cost. Now that's a lot of savings and efficiency for your data center.

SimpliVity, the leader in hyperconverged infrastructure for teh software-defined data center, kicks-off  their “Get Hyperconverged” World Tour to help businesses simplify their IT infrastructure. There are more than 40 Cities in 20 countries named already – more to come soon. In South East Asia, the Tour started in Manila last 6 March at the Makati Shangri-La hotel in Makati.The morning was dedicated to media, while the afternoon was for the IT community.

Thai Royale Spa: An Affordable Massage and Spa Franchise in the Philippines




Wazzup Pilipinas!

Stress-buster! That's how I define a day in the spa. The feeling of being rejuvenated from all the stress brought about by the many causes of stress like traffic congestion, hectic work schedules and tasks, financial struggles, relationship problems, and other everyday problems of life.

It's always a refreshing feeling when you've underwent a whole body massage, or even a body scrub, or a facial. It almost feels like you've been reborn and ready to face the world with renewed vigor and excitement for regaining the strength and vitality that you've lost due to stress.

Now wouldn't it be nice if we have our own spa where we can have all the treatments we want while at the same time we'll be earning by offering the service to other people. Like what most people would do, setup a business that you either know or enjoy doing. Setting up a spa center will serve our need for our much needed spa service while we provide the same service to other customers with the same needs.

What is recommended is to setup the business using a business plan that already works. That is the beauty of franchising. We get to setup the business without the need to start from scratch. We will take advantage of tested and proven methods, and be backed up by a brand known already for quality and exceptional service.

Thai Royale Spa offers franchising for people who want to earn with them and enjoy the benefits of becoming a part of their success story. You'll never go wrong in choosing a brand with years of experience and a name you can count on. The 25 branches they have right now is an indication of how successful they are already.
