Branding meets creativity at the DJI Osmo 360 Grand Launch! Host Steffi sparked an exciting convo with Gadget Pilipinas, Ungeek, and Unbox PH on how DJI is redefining storytelling and brand experiences. #DJIOsmo360 #GrandLaunch

Tech experts, gadget geeks, content creators, vloggers and media gathered in a historic evening of glam as DJI Philippines officially introduced its first 360 action camera – the Osmo 360 in an exclusive launch at Xylo at the Palace in Taguig City last August 23, 2025.

This revolutionary action camera expanded functionality, elevating its utilization to further demonstrate how this pocket size camera can do most of the work without compromising quality.

A video reveal of Osmo 360 wowed the attendees of the launch. A product presentation by Joey Andrada enlightened the guests on how Osmo 360’s innovative features will level up their video contents, making them more interesting to their viewers and subscribers.

Image Quality to its finest

DJI Osmo 360 delivers its crisp, sharp, vivid photos to life with its 1-inch 360 imaging. It is the first to introduce the square HDR image sensor that maintains the same 360 image field as a traditional 1-inch rectangular sensor. Having this square sensor eliminates the unused area of traditional rectangular sensors, resulting in 25% more sensor utilization, providing outstanding image quality, and lower power consumption.

DJI officially entered the 360 camera market with the launch of the Osmo 360. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in immersive content creation. Imagine what’s coming next. #DJIOsmo360 #DJIGrandLaunch

Osmo 360 is the first 360 camera to shoot ultra high spec: 8k/50fps 360 video and the only 360 camera that can shoot continuously for 100 minutes at 8K/30fps. Its large pixel size, double the industry’s standard size of 1.2, captures more picture details, less noise, better low-light performance and higher dynamic range, setting a new standard for video resolution in 360 cameras. 

Osmo 360 captures ultra-clear 360 photos up to 120 megapixels, achieving razor-sharp detail for still images.

Responding to the changing needs

Osmo 360 ultra-compact, lightweight camera body provides other interesting features that answer the needs of its users.

With Osmo 360, switching between the front and rear lens without stopping recording is perfect for those capturing travel vlogs in one seamless take. Its single lens mode can be used as a first-person action camera while its boost mode provides even a broader 170 degree field of view and smooth 4K/120 fps video.

At the DJI Osmo 360 Grand Launch, we were joined by creators from the moto community — Jawo Motovlog, Team Katagumpay, and Hammerman — sharing their passion for storytelling on the road and how DJI technology takes their content to the next level. #DJIOsmo360 #DJIGrandLaunch

This camera is convenient for content creators on the go as this camera has 105 GB of built-in storage. Since Osmo 360 is lightweight, you can carry it with ease. Its advanced stacked design allows the camera to pack two large 1-inch 360 imaging lens modules into one, ultra compact body. 

Built to withstand extreme weather conditions, Osmo 360 is capable of recording for over 1.5 hours in freezing conditions as low as -20 degrees celsius.

Battery life is not a problem with the Osmo 360 Battery Extension Rod. For 12 minutes, Osmo 360 reaches 50% power.

Your All-in-One Adventure Companion

DJI’s Osmo 360 is an all-in-one adventure companion of every filmmaker, videographer, vlogger, and content creator who is passionate in creating crisp, vivid, and real video contents using a small, smart yet revolutionary action camera.

That moment when DJI teamed up with Ducati at the Osmo 360 Grand Launch! Seeing the iconic Ducati bike up close while testing DJI’s newest gear was next-level! Innovation, speed, and style all in one night. #DJIOsmo360 #GrandLaunch

Other smart features such as HorizonSteady and RockSteady help in image stabilization. Its gesture and voice control allow users to start and stop recording with a simple palm gesture or use voice control to go hands-free. The invisible selfie stick vanishes from 360 videos with no editing required. The slow motion captures video in up to 4x slow motion mode, making every awe-inspiring moment last longer. It has multi-platform editing support using DJI Mimo or DJI Studio to help create stunning 360 videos.

Viy Cortez and Alodia Gosiengfiao steal the spotlight at DJI’s first 360 camera launch! The DJI Osmo 360 Grand Launch was made even more special with the presence of well-loved personalities Viy Cortez and Alodia Gosiengfiao. Their support highlights the growing excitement around DJI’s first 360 camera and its role in shaping the future of immersive content creation. #DJIOsmo360 #GrandLaunch

The magnetic quick release design of Osmo 360 is compatible with Osmo Action series accessories. Meanwhile, Osmo 360 offers OsmoAudio Direct Microphone Connection that allows users of Osmo 360 to connect directly to two DJI microphone transmitters without a receiver, capturing studio-quality sound.

These ultra advanced, compact action cameras are priced competitively. For Osmo 360 Standard Combo, it is priced at P24,490 that includes Osmo 360 camera, action extreme battery plus, protective pouch, lens cleaning cloth, USB-C to USB-C PD Cable (USB 3.1) and rubber lens protector.

The success of the DJI Osmo 360 Grand Launch would not have been possible without the dedication and creativity of DJI Philippine’s Marketing Department. Their hard work behind the scenes brought this milestone event to life. #DJIOsmo360 #GrandLaunch

Century Properties’ PHirst Park Homes Marks Mindanao Debut via P5.3B General Santos City Project

By
PhilSociety
-

PHirst Park Homes, the first-home brand of Century Properties Group, is accelerating its nationwide expansion with a planned entry into the thriving island of Mindanao.   

The company has set its sights on several key cities in Mindanao for its expansion, and now officially marks its entry with its maiden project in General Santos City – PHirst Park Homes Gen San. 

PHirst Park Homes Gen San is strategically positioned to amplify the city’s rapid growth. Nestled in Brgy. Baluan and conveniently accessible via the Sarangani-Davao del Sur Coastal Road, this 25-hectare master planned community with an estimated sales value of P5.3B, will bring in over 2,000 homes to Mindanaoans. 

Proudly bearing the PHirst development signature, PHirst Park Homes Gen San will showcase thoughtfully designed, fully finished homes that are move-in ready. The project will feature two of PHirst’s well-loved house models: the Amani, a townhouse with a 36 sqm floor area on typical lot areas ranging from 44-60.5 sqm with introductory prices between P1.8-2.1M; and the Dua, a single-attached unit with a 48 sqm floor area on a typical 77 sqm lot area, with prices starting at P2.8M. Each home is built with flexibility in mind – expandable to accommodate the needs of a growing family.  

Amani Townhouse Perspective at PHirst Park Homes Gen San

Staying true to its promise of “a home in a park, and a park in a home” experience, the community showcases a harmonious balance of comfort, nature, and modern living. Families can look forward to well-planned amenities that promote recreation and togetherness, as well as generous open spaces spread across the development for ease of access and enjoyment. Most importantly, residents are assured of a safe and secure environment—making PHirst Park Homes Gen San a community where families can truly thrive. 

“PHirst’s expansion in Mindanao, through PHirst Park Homes Gen San, directly reflects our unwavering vision to empower Filipino families with access to quality homes,” said Ricky M. Celis, President and CEO of PHirst. “We see this as more than just an investment – it’s a real opportunity to help shape the future of a dynamic, emerging frontier.” 

This milestone marks a new chapter in PHirst’s bold mission for nationwide presence. In 2023, the brand expanded beyond Luzon with the launch of PHirst Park Homes Bacolod – its first development in the Visayas. The 16-hectare community, designed to deliver nearly 1,500 homes, set the stage for PHirst’s regional growth. By August 2025, the project is on track to turn over its first batch of homes – welcoming happy homeowners and bringing the PHirst promise to life in Bacolod. 

Long recognized for its vast potential, Mindanao is rapidly emerging as a strategic economic powerhouse, fueled by extensive government investments in infrastructure. Among these is the highly anticipated Mindanao Railway Project, which will connect major cities, streamline regional transportation, and enhance global connectivity. Such developments are opening new economic corridors and driving robust regional activity across provinces and key urban centers – making Mindanao one of the most attractive and promising markets in the real estate industry. 

As the area continues to evolve, it also faces the urgent challenge of addressing the country’s significant housing backlog. Rapid urbanization and a rising population have sharply increased the demand for affordable, quality homes. This makes PHirst’s planned entry both timely and essential.

With its upcoming entry into Mindanao, PHirst is well on track to build a strong footprint across all major regions in the Philippines – bringing the dream of homeownership closer to more Filipino families nationwide.  

The PHirst Core  

Currently, PHirst operates 31 active projects across Luzon and Visayas, with developments in key locations in Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Quezon Province, Bulacan, Pampanga, Bataan, Nueva Ecija, and Bacolod City [Negros Occidental]. Carrying its brand pillars– Complete Homes, Conceptive Amenities, Connected Essentials, and Convenient Selling & Buying Experience– PHirst has built a solid reputation for creating thoughtfully designed homes that cater to the needs of the modern Filipino family. With every development, PHirst remains committed to building not just homes, but vibrant communities where families can Dwell, Create, and Thrive.  

PHirst is a subsidiary and the first-home business segment of Century Properties Group. For more information on PHirst’s developments and upcoming projects, visit www.century-phirst.com.

Haier Philippines brought together culture, fashion, music, and technology in a grand event titled “L’ART DU LAVAGE — The Art of Washing”, where guests experienced firsthand the artistry and innovation behind Haier’s newest washing machine line.

The program began with a touch of elegance as guests arrived to the sound of live violin music, setting a refined mood during registration. A cultural dance performance followed, showcasing movement and color that celebrated artistry—an apt introduction to an evening that promised both style and innovation. Warm greetings from Haier executives, together with a video message from company representatives abroad, welcomed the audience and provided context on the inspiration behind the launch.

The highlight of the night was the dramatic unveiling of Haier’s new washing machine models. Presented through a fusion of models, dancers, and stage effects, the moment captured both the beauty of design and the sophistication of technology. The Haier HW140-BD14387GNU1, a 14.0 kg front-load washing machine, drew attention with its Direct Drive motor, colorful touchscreen panel, Wi-Fi capability, and advanced functions such as AI wash, smart dosing, ultra fresh air, and Haier’s Essence Wash 2.0. With its tempered glass design, it balances modern aesthetics with everyday practicality. Alongside it, Haier introduced the HW120-BPD14367S8U1, a 12.0 kg model that carries a BLDC motor, colorful touchscreen, Wi-Fi, AI wash, smart dosing, and the same Essence Wash 2.0 system. Slightly smaller in capacity yet equally feature-rich, it provides households with a flexible option depending on their lifestyle needs. Completing the lineup was the Haier HS120-BR1BU, a 12.0 kg washing machine equipped with Double Drive technology for enhanced cleaning performance and Fresh Air functionthat helps keep clothes hygienic and fresh even after the wash. With its modern design and efficient features, this unit added another dimension to the range, offering guests a clear look at Haier’s versatility in fabric care solutions.

Lifestyle content creator Jenela in Japan shared her testimonial about her Haier washing machine experience, noting how the product has simplified her laundry routine. A short Q&A session allowed guests to connect her experience with their own household needs, making the presentation more relatable.

Beyond product discussions, guests enjoyed an interactive product experience area where they could explore the washing machines up close, observe live demonstrations, and see the technology in action. This hands-on element allowed the audience to appreciate not just the design but also the performance of the appliances.

The celebration continued with dinner accompanied by live vocal performances, further setting the atmosphere for an evening that balanced entertainment with product discovery. One of the most creative segments of the program was the fashion show, which highlighted three sequences—office wear, silk, and gowns. Each sequence was paired with live singing performances and ended with a symbolic gesture: the last model placing clothes into a Haier washing machine. This theatrical presentation reinforced the theme of fabric care and illustrated how the right washing machine preserves the beauty and integrity of garments.

As the night progressed, guests were treated to another round of live performances, including a violin interlude and a dance showcase. Raffle draws brought excitement and energy, with winners taking home prizes that added to the celebratory atmosphere. Closing remarks and a final toast wrapped up the evening, leaving attendees with a lasting impression of how Haier continues to merge technology and lifestyle in meaningful ways.

At the forefront of innovation: Mr. Cui Hao, Haier Washing Machine Director, highlights the brand’s commitment to smarter, more efficient, and sustainable laundry solutions.

By the end of L’ART DU LAVAGE, the message was clear: washing clothes is not only a daily necessity but can also be reimagined as an art form when paired with thoughtful design and advanced technology. Through this launch, Haier reminded its guests that caring for fabrics is not just about cleanliness—it is about preserving the beauty and comfort of everyday living.

SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation’s (SMHCC) Tela Tales Initiative Goes Nationwide with a Davao Launch

By
PhilSociety
-

Following the thread of its Luzon and Visayas legs, SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation’s Tela Tales continues to weave sustainability in its properties one region at a time. Coinciding with the Kadayawan Festival, Tela Tales was officially launched in Davao City, in partnership with its hotel property, Park Inn by Radisson Davao.

Commemorating the occasion were SMHCC Vice President for Quality and Sustainability Ms. Leah Magallanes, Davao City Councilors Hon. Tek Ocampo and Hon. Myrna Ortiz; Department of Trade and Industry Regional Director Romeo L. Castañaga; and Department of Tourism Region XI Assistant Regional Director Judy Colaljo.

Park Inn by Radisson Davao’s Commercial Team led by Director of Sales & Marketing, Liza Gamo

“As a fashionably meaningful and purposeful sustainability project, Tela Tales transforms condemned hotel linens into meaningful fashion, functional pieces, creating a circular economy that bridges hospitality and local communities,” said Ms. Magallanes. Given that hotel linens are one of the top wastes produced by hotels and resorts, this initiative aims to create products that are highly marketable that resonate with target audiences. 

Tela Tales has already made waves in other SMHCC properties such as Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo, Bacolod, and North Edsa; Pico Sands Hotel; Taal Vista Hotel; and SMX Manila. Now, it finds a home in Davao. To bring this vision to life, SMHCC and the hotel partnered with Davao-born designer Dars Juson, who studied in the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. He is making his name in the capital City of the Philippines as the co-founder of Manila-based label REPAMANA. Known for transforming discarded textiles into striking fashion, Dars’ philosophy perfectly aligns with the Tela Tales mission. 

Models showcase REPAMANA’s stylish bucket hats, alongside a sneak peek of the vanity kits, tote bags, and hats soon available at the hotel’s lobby.

The beneficiary of this effort is Think Outside the Trash, a women-led community group supported by Councilor Tek Ocampo. Under Dars’ mentorship, the women underwent training to create the debut Tela Tales collection—each piece a symbol of empowerment, sustainability, and craftsmanship.

For the first collection, Dars designed a vanity kit, tote bag, and bucket hats, which will be available for purchase at the hotel lobby. The items feature both plain and dyed designs, using the traditional Japanese shibori technique. This method involves binding, folding, twisting, and clamping fabric before dyeing—a process that Dars also taught to the women of Think Outside the Trash.

A panel discussion featuring Ms. Magallanes, designer Dars Juson, Councilor Tek Ocampo, and General Manager Sven Toune followed, fostering an open and engaging conversation.
