The Latest Tech Events | Predator Philippines x One Championship; Samsung S8 & Paymaya

Hello everyone! By this time, you're enjoying the beach or taking the time for LaBoracay. I'll be staying at home and treating this painful right hand. Please pray that this is not carpal tunnel syndrome. Anyways, let me give you the latest in tech events.

Predator Philippines x One Championship

It was only a few months ago when I visited the High Grounds Cafe in Scout Rallos for the Predator Philippines. Last week, High Grounds is much better now. A bigger space for dining is now open. I also got to play with one of their powerful gaming laptops. The Predator Philippines x One Championship was launched a few days before the big fight that happened last Friday at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Predator Philippines, provider of some of the world’s most powerful and innovative gaming computers, forges a partnership with ONE Championship to conquer new worlds in the realm of gaming and competition in the Philippines. Together, Predator and ONE Championship transform Filipino gamers into their strongest characters ready for modern combat.

Together with One Heavyweight World Champion Brandon Vera and One Championship VP & MMA Legend Rich Franklin, they bring their best fighting stance to the world of modern gaming with Predator.

Here are some photos taken that day:

PayMaya–an app beyond shopping and paying online

I've been using Paymaya for quite sometime now to pay the bills but most of the time, as a mode of payment for online shopping. Yesterday, PayMaya introduces its new sets of NowNation brand ambassadors who keep on inspiring the young generations through their passion and strong personalities.

Today’s millennials utilize PayMaya in countless ways: as the best way to pay and get paid. Consumers use PayMaya for their online purchases, including digital subscriptions such as movies and music. It is the preferred means of entrepreneurs to receive payments for goods and services rendered, an allowance disbursement tool for parents, and a means to pay for web hosting and social media sponsored posts for web managers, and more.

These millennials knows how to take care of their own bills. With PayMaya that allows for convenient payments to establishments such as MERALCO, Globe, PLDT, Smart, Sun, Sunlife, Home Credit, and Maynilad among many others. Meanwhile, PayMaya’s Shop feature offers telco prepaid and data load with discounts. Load purchased in-app can also be sent to others as a gift.

Two of the millennials brand ambassadors I personally know are Ava Te- Zabat: The Artsy Mom and Gael of The Pinay Solo Backpacker. Alyssa Valdez, The Volleyball Phenom with a Purpose;
Louis Faure, The Expat Community Builder; Jappy Agoncillo, The Mural Master; Wiji Lacsamana
The Online Jill of All Trades and TNC Pro Team, The Philippine eSports Champions.
