The onstage competition was the highlight of Globe Prepaid Virtual Hangouts’ first digital music camp and competition for promising young artists. The digital music camp was developed to give young Filipinos a chance to #OwnTheFuture by honing their musical talent and skills through masterclasses in songwriting, arrangement, branding, and digital marketing from leading industry experts Yumi Lacsamana & Thryo Alfaro, the camp’s mentor–songwriter-producer; Zel Bautista of December Avenue; Argee Guerrero of I Belong To The Zoo; Enzo Valdez, Managing Director of UMG; Vicky Malong, Marketing Director of Warner Music Philippines; John Lozano, seasoned celebrity stylist; Rayms Fabul, A&R Director of Sony Music Philippines; Brian Lotho, respected musician, arranger, producer, and two-time Awit Awards Album of the Year awardee; and Ian Monsod, CEO of Kroma Entertainment.

The workshop recently culminated in a live musical showdown at the Bonifacio High Street Central Amphitheater which was streamed via Globe’s Facebook page and Globe Prepaid Virtual Hangouts passion portal and made more exciting by special performances from Lola Amour, I Belong to The Zoo, and Unique.

 

No one went home empty-handed as, at the end of the night, the event hosts announced that the original songs performed by each of the finalists would also be officially released and distributed by Kroma Entertainment.

The Globe GEN3 stores are home to various lifestyle zones with stories and exciting features for customers to experience and enjoy. These zones feature latest trends in product, people and even in business. Various lifestyle vignettes illustrate mobile and broadband technologies as connected solutions—featuring the latest devices, apps, digital connectors gadgets and services that contribute to the total interactive customer experience.

The lifestyle zones will also highlight the stories of brand ambassadors every quarter. The store is a platform for the introduction of must-watch personalities who are blazing new trails in their respective Art, Community and Technology spaces. For the first quarter of 2015, with Music as the main theme, Globe GEN3 will feature four of the coolest DJs of this generation: DJ Badkiss, Callum David, Mars Miranda, and Eric Capilli - who all have inspiring success stories in their chosen career. In the coming months, it will also feature the aspiring story of JR Dela Paz, a Globe myBusiness ambassador and owner of fast-rising restaurant chain Size Matters.

Ayan, tingnan mo nga naman ang pagkakataon. Look what MVP did to the competition.

This is what I can say one of the best things in competition pero ano naman ang mga nasasabi ng ating mga kababayan tungkol dito.

Yes may mga positive at negative na mga reactions ang mga customers ng kanya kanyang network. May mga Manang Bola at Nostradamus din sa kanila na hunuhulaan na ang mga panggagari. At siyempre kayo din na nakakabasa nito ay may sarili ring palagay sa Big Announcements ng mga higanteng kumpanyang ito. Kung maganda man para sa inyo oh hindi ito ay pwede namang ipahatid ito sa kanila lalo na ngayon na mas maganda na ang ating technology kumpara dati na monopoly pa ang telephone service at wala pang internet. So I guess what my point for now is to make use of it. Kase, sino ba naman ang ayaw ng libre lalo na kung tungkol sa data connection natin nowadays na kung saan mas lalong naging mobile na ito dahil kaya na natin magkaroon ng communication sa ating mga mahal sa buhay, mamahalin pa lang o dating minahal sa pamamagitan ng mga smart phones na mas marami na rin ang may access at mas nagiging affordable na rin. Kaya minsan, maganda rin ang naidudulot ng competition para sa ating mga consumer. In the future, sana mas madami pang dumating.
