Wazzup Pilipinas!

Past contenders return to the tracks to heat up the upcoming season

Before they go bumper to bumper in an all-new season of HISTORY’s Celebrity Car Wars, Xian Lim and Diego Loyzaga get up close and personal with fans in HISTORY CON 2018 from August 10 to 12 at World Trade Center, Pasay City.

Celebrity Car Wars is an automotive reality entertainment series in which six new popular, socially connected, outspoken, pampered, and coiffured celebrities embark on an eight-week road to automotive discovery. Expect faster and fiercer encounters as HISTORY and Caltex join forces in bringing viewers an all-new turbocharged season on September 2018.

“As Celebrity Car Wars shifts into full gear, Caltex is once again pleased to be part of a journey that showcases how Techron’s high-performance fuel can help vehicles deliver under more challenging scenarios,” says General Manager of Sales & Marketing Support for Caltex, Carlos Rey C. Castaños.

HISTORY’s partnership with Caltex stems from the two companies’ shared values and commitment on the promotion and advancement of the automotive world.

“We are delighted to launch Celebrity Car Wars as the key driver of HISTORY’s global multimedia event, ‘Car Week’ to bring the best of automotive series and special features to our target audience in Asia,” said Leena Singarajah, Managing Director of A+E Networks Asia.

In this new season, six new celebrity contestants from widely different backgrounds go head-to-head in a series of exhilarating four-wheeled feats. Watch how the free-spirted young actor Diego Loyzaga proves that when it comes to wheels, the new is always the better. From modeling and acting to hosting stints, Xian Lim shows viewers a never-before-seen side to him as he uncovers his hidden passion for cars in this series.

As one of her country’s key health and fitness influencers, Thai R&B idol Lydia Sarunrat faces different challenges with a strong and independent personality that goes beyond her goddess-like beauty and angelic voice. Known for co-producing and directing top-caliber films since 1995, Malaysian actor, producer, and director Hans Isaac still has a lot to offer.

Can Thai-Australian actor and martial arts practitioner Matthew Deane kickstart a new career in automotive? Singapore's Munah Bagharib, from the famous YouTube comedy duo Munah & Hirzi, definitely makes a fun and strong addition in the competition!

“Viewers can expect celebrity antics as well as professional tips and tricks to help drivers improve their drive to gain better fuel economy, including how the right fuel can maximize power and increase engine reliability,” says Castaños.

Adding to Filipino pride are car racing experts Gaby dela Merced and Michele Bumgarner who will guide the contestants in every obstacle as their mentors.

Hosted by Bobby Tonelli, Celebrity Car Wars’ third season also features challenges from previous seasons including jeepney race, reverse racing, and insanely tough off-road 4X4 ride along Pampanga’s Sacobia River. Celebrities will also face the dreaded brick wall, which returns to test their personalities yet again.

To amp things up, the new season also sees past contenders Marc Nelson and Phoemela Baranda return to the tracks for the series’ famous drag race, and Dominic Lau makes a special appearance as guest referee for the car-football challenge. This season also introduces a live leaderboard to allow contenders to track each other’s scores.

Smart Emergency Communications Boost MMDA Quake Drill

Wazzup Pilipinas!

While the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has announced that the exact date of its latest earthquake drill will not be publicized in advance, it is no surprise that Smart Communications has again provided support to the agency’s annual disaster preparedness and response activity.

Just like in previous years, the PLDT wireless unit deployed emergency communications support for the MMDA Shake Drill, which simulated the “Big One,” or a magnitude 7.2 earthquake situation in the event of a movement from the West Valley Fault.

“We are doing this to prepare everyone to minimize damage that earthquake may cause. When the Big One happens, we must be prepared,” MMDA General Manager Jose Arturo “Jojo” Garcia Jr. said in a statement released by the agency.

“Our participation in the drill is part of our commitment to use technology to enhance disaster preparedness and response,” said PLDT and Smart public affairs head Ramon R. Isberto. “Our various communication tools, including the cellular and data services themselves, are part of our #SafePH advocacy, which aims to help build more resilient communities and reduce disaster risk,” he said.

Smart positioned multi-equipment on wheels (MEOW) portable cell sites, satellite communications services, and libreng tawag (free calls) stations; and provided Wi-Fi support for incident commanders at the MMDA quadrants. The MMDA has divided Metro Manila into quadrants to better manage response and rescue operations when the Big One strikes.

The quadrants, with their respective evacuation areas, are as follows: the northern quadrant (Quezon City, Caloocan, Valenzuela, San Juan), Veterans Memorial Medical Center Golf Course and Quezon Memorial Circle; eastern quadrant, (Marikina and Pasig), LRT 2 Santolan depot; western quadrant (Navotas, Malabon, Manila), Intramuros Golf Course; and southern quadrant (Pasay, Makati, Parañaque, Las Piñas, Muntinlupa, Pateros, and Taguig), Villamor Golf Course.

The #MMShakeDrill began with Smart issuing alerts using the Emergency Cell Broadcast System. Accompanied by a loud siren sound, ECBS sends urgent messages, such as evacuation notices and earthquake and tsunami warnings, to activated mobile devices within the affected area.

Cell broadcast is effective in disseminating quick hazard alerts because it operates on a radio channel separate from that used by voice calls and text messages or SMS (short messaging service), which may get congested in times of calamities.

In 2016, Smart invested over P500 million on ECBS to fully comply with Republic Act No. 10639, or the Free Mobile Disaster Alerts Act. The act mandates telecommunications service providers to send free mobile alerts in the event of natural and man-made disasters and calamities.

At the start of the program, the participants converged at an open area and were urged to assume the “duck, cover, and hold” position. Residents, workers, students, and government personnel joined the activities, which included evacuation drills, while responders were on standby for mock rescue operations.

The annual #MMShakeDrill drill aims to strengthen the capacity of individuals, households, and local authorities to prepare for and respond to the Big One. According to the Metro Manila Earthquake Impact Reduction Study (MMEIRS), this scenario may leave more than 30,000 dead and over 100,000 injured.

In times of calamities, Smart provides communications support such as free SMS, calls, charging, connectivity, and satellite solutions to residents and responders. These services have been deployed, for instance, during the onslaught of Supertyphoon “Yolanda” in 2013, the series of earthquakes in Batangas last year, and Mayon Volcano eruption early this year, among other emergency situations.

These initiatives are part of Smart’s #SafePH advocacy, which also includes programs such as TNT Tropang Ready, which tours schools nationwide to educate the youth on preparedness and empower them to mobilize their communities in times of calamities; and the Batingaw disaster management app, which allows users to report incidents and features tools such as a flashlight, a siren, a radio, and a directory of emergency contact numbers.

Smart is also providing high-speed connectivity to the Nokia Saving Lives drone system to help boost the disaster response efforts of the Philippine Red Cross. The drone project has been selected as a grantee of the Disaster Response Innovation Fund by GSMA, the organization representing mobile operators globally.

Earlier this month, Smart joined other telecommunications providers and humanitarian organizations from all over Asia at the GSMA Humanitarian Connectivity Charter Regional Workshop for Asia-Pacific held in Angeles City, Pampanga. Smart is one of the three founding signatories of the GSMA HCC, which aims to provide increased access to communication and information for those affected by calamities, helping reduce loss of lives and contribute to humanitarian response.

The Beauty of Canvas Prints

Wazzup Pilipinas!

More and more people are getting excited and choosing canvas mounted photos because it is the most personalized treasure of great memories and it also rescues nice pictures from the album.

Photo canvas is a method in which the high quality digital photo is converted into a work of art and printed in a high quality real fiber cotton canvas to give life to the photo.

Canvassed photo give a great look on the walls of the house, offices because this can make the photo look very real and adds beauty to the photo as well as the wall and beautiful canvas art can be created using any of your favorite photos involving places, peoples, nature scenes, or even holiday spots.

Canvas printing is a technique that imprints the photo of your choice onto a canvas, like those used in oil painting, where you can create art suitable for hanging on your wall. It isn't just a matter of scanning the image into a computer, however.

Most canvas artists draw your photo by hand and feed the image into a computer that is specially programmed to replicate the craftsmanship associated with a fine work of gallery art.

The photo to canvas print can be framed with a beautiful wooden frame to add extra beauty to the frame. The canvas print are long lasting and provide high quality digital image when fine coated with lamination as a protective sheath for the photo to canvas prints.

Graphical effects can be applied to the photographs such as black and white or popular art, and high impact oil. Several new effects and styles are now available in many studios which can give meaning to our photos.

Multi-cast canvas can also be done in which the photo is split and printed across multiple canvasses to give a striking look. Several devices are available which helps to capture the most priced moments on the spot that can be used and can be transformed from photos onto canvas.

Photo to canvas conversion makes the pictures real, long lasting and can be an amazing gift. Computers, digital printing, and canvas paper are easy mediums to use to create a piece of artwork on canvas.

The variations and opportunities of the artwork are endless, given altering abilities of photo- manipulation software. Making a custom piece integrating your own photos and artistic abilities creates a personalized, priceless piece of artwork.

Decide on the size of the artwork you are printing and the limitations of your computer and printer capabilities. Choose a photo and decide if you would like this to be a focal point of the photo or a background image.

Once the photo is in the computer, make alterations, size the image for the selected canvas size, and change the aspects of the photo such as contrast or color. Once the alteration is complete print the photo onto the canvas paper, but test print it on plain paper before printing the final photo.

If the photo is too large, you have to have it printed in a commercial printer. Add a layer or two of details to the printed photo using acrylic paint and add a layer of paint, let it dry, and add the next layer.

By using a matte or gloss medium with paint will create a translucency that will allow the photo to be viewable when the paint is applied on top of the photo.
