The post Axgon Philippines is Your New Go-To for Gaming Peripherals and Furniture appeared first on DavaoBase.
]]>For its launch, Axgon is bringing two new products:
Style, utility, and comfort all in one. The Axgon AXGH1V1 gaming headset connects to any device via a USB interface, with an in-line controller that gives players complete control over their audio in the palm of their hands. With custom-tuned 50mm drivers and 7.1 virtual surround sound, players will be ready for all traps, hazards, and ambushes, even if they don’t see them coming. Its metal suspended headband keeps the headset’s shape while its PU leather, Memory foam earpads, and elastic leather band conform to your head’s shape and keeps it – providing maximum comfort even for long periods of use. The passive noise-canceling provided by the earpads also reduces outside sounds and helps retain your focus in the game. The AXGH1V1 is also equipped with a noise-canceling microphone – important for all the shot-calling you’ll be doing in your games. The swivel-pivoted microphone can be snapped back up, making the headset look stylish when the microphone is not in use.
Features:
Stylish in black and royal in lavender and magenta, the AX1CVa is your mount for your gaming adventures. Ultra-comfort comes with the high-grade high-density mold shaping foam and customizability comes with the adjustable 2D Arm Rests and Class-4 Hydraulic Gas Lift. Lumbar support and neck support are also provided with soft but firm pillows attached to the body-embracing back design. Its multidirectional nylon casters also allow you to flawlessly move your gaming chair around. The aesthetic design also stands out among all other gaming brands. Finally, its simple and intuitive engineering design makes its assembly quick and easy. That means when you order the AX1CVa, you can set it up for use in mere minutes once the package has arrived at your doorsteps. Setting up your gaming gear has never been so easy!
Features:
Soon, Axon will also be bringing in these three Axgon gaming peripherals:
The first two pieces provide a strong one-two combo, two pieces that will serve as a player’s primary weaponry for their setup. The keyboard and mouse combo will jump-start your life as a gamer. The ARGK 2104 is a wired keyboard with an ergonomic design, anti-ghosting keys, and a skid-proof surface that lowers the fatigue brought about by long gaming sessions. Partnered with it is the ARGM 2101 wired gaming mouse that will be with a gamer’s journey for millions of clicks – armed with 825 Sensor – 12000 DPI for precise and responsive movements. Both the ARGK 2104 and ARGM 2101 feature RGB backlight for the extra gamer flair, and use braided cords for a flourish of style and elegance.
Features:
Game while taking care of your eyesight. Are anti-blue light glasses too obstructive and too invasive of your personal gaming space and experience? Install the ARML-1 on your monitor with just one snap and click to reduce eye strain and help maintain your eye health. The elegant lightbar can fit on any kind of monitor, saves space, and most importantly – is not obstructive. With 3 color temperatures, the ARML-1 covers a wide range of screen brightness – making it suitable for most gaming monitors on the market.
Features:

]]>The post Sony WH-1000XM3 Headphones: Next-Level Noise Cancellation appeared first on DavaoBase.
]]>Here are some of the best features to look forward to in Sony WH-1000XM3 Headphones:
Listen with next-level silence with Sony’s signature Noise Cancellation technology. Sony WH-1000XM3 benefits from a newly developed HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1, which roughly quadruples the performance of the previous processor.
This newly-developed component not only negates transport noise like its predecessor, but also further cancels out daily background sounds such as street noise and human voices. It also features Dual Noise Sensor technology that captures ambient noise with dual microphones and then passes the sound data to the processor to cancel the noise.
This pair of headphones is made to fly, as its Atmospheric Pressure Optimizing feature allows the Noise Cancelling performance to adapt specifically to high altitude by using sensors to detect the air pressure around you. That way, the Noise Cancelling is optimized accordingly.
Designed for the professional who frequently travels, these headphones deliver exquisite High-Resolution Audio with a 40mm driver unit with a Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) diaphragm that handles heavy beats and reproduces a full range of frequencies up to 40kHz. This enables you to enjoy listening to your music exactly how the artist intended, whether it’s a up-and-coming Philpop song entry or a Top 100 hit.
The HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN1 works not only for Noise Cancelling, but also realizes stunning high sound quality with 32-bit Audio Signal Processing and the combination of DAC with Amplifier functionality. This offers exceptionally high sound quality, best-in-class signal-to-noise ratio, and low distortion for portable devices.
The activity recognition feature, Adaptive Sound Control, detects your physical situation. With three auto mode-changes for the Sony WH-1000XM3, you can hear all ambient sounds together with music when walking, hear announcements as well as your music when waiting, and be immersed in music with Noise Cancellation when travelling by train or bus.
This smart listening experience is enabled by the SENSE ENGINE. Also, you can customize to your preferences with the Sony Headphones Connect app.
Quick Attention Mode lets you hear what’s going on around you without taking your headphones off. Place your right hand over the right housing to decrease music volume instantly, which allows you to quickly respond to those around you. For example, when flying, you can order your drink without taking your headphones off.
There are other ways to control the sound too. Swipe the touchpad on the right housing to turn the volume up/down or to change track.
Another improvement is the Customizable Automatic Power Off function on the companion Headphones Connect app, which means the headphones can stay on and in Noise Cancellation mode without being connected to a device. This is perfect if you want noise reduction without listening to music. For example, you can rest peacefully while on a long-haul flight.
Sony WH-1000XM3 has a new, slimmer silhouette and is more lightweight than its predecessor. It’s extremely comfortable to wear, thanks to a deeper earcup and a thicker headband cushion. It just feels good while looking good at the same time!
The pair also comes with a stylish fabric case that will satisfy the fashion-conscious, as well as new and eye-catching color options of black or platinum silver with gold highlights.
Besides offering 30 hours of battery life with Noise Cancelling and Bluetooth connection, Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones have an upgraded Quick Charging function that provides five hours of wireless playback after a mere ten minutes of charging via a contemporary USB type-C port.
Voice calls are also made clearer, with the introduction of multiple microphones, ideal for hands-free conversations.
Sony WH-1000XM3 will be available in the Philippines from September 2018.
This video sums up the best feature of this fantastic noise-cancelling headphones:

]]>GCash offers cashless convenience as it allows users not only to shop online, but also to send money, pay bills, buy load, book movies, borrow load, and even pay for purchases done in-store through its Pay QR option.
I recently downloaded a GCash app, which only took less than a minute. Registration was also a breeze. I simply filled out the form online, and in a few minutes, I was done.
I was pretty sure it can do online shopping, and so the first thing I wanted to try was its Scan to Pay feature. I wanted to pay for my in-store purchases without opening my wallet — that means no cash and no credit card. Instead, I plan to pay using my smartphone.
Several stores in Davao City already accept GCash, and the list includes The SM Store. I got a few items at SM City Davao and looked for the counter that has the “GCash Accepted Here” sign. Using the Pay QR option in the app, I scanned the QR code at the counter (see image below) and entered the amount due.
After a couple of seconds, the app gave a confirmation message that I have successfully paid for my items. The transaction was quick, and it did not involve getting any loose change or signing receipts. GCash keeps the transactions secure through the user’s 4-digit MPIN.
The next thing I tried was buying load. I did not expect that there’s a nice surprise waiting for users buying load via GCash.
For now, only Globe and TM users can enjoy this cashless convenience that GCash offers. Hopefully soon, they can roll this option out to non-Globe subscribers as well. It is a great tool for students and young professionals who cannot get approved for credit cards as of yet. With this, you would not need to ask friends to allow you to use their credit cards for online transactions. You can use your own GCash account for online shopping and more.

So, do you want to know what this secret is? Then, let’s follow little Joachim. He has a secret, and he’s excited to share it with everyone!
Here’s Joachim at McDonald’s, and he looks so happy just seeing his special burger from the McDonald’s Secret Menu!
THE SECRET IS OUT! Little Joachim shares McDo Secret Menu burgers with his kuya Liam. Available special combo sandwiches are:
We ordered the four Secret Menu sandwiches and enjoyed them all, but the Surf ‘n Turf emerged as the star of our meal. We loved the explosion of flavors brought by the combination of a crispy fish patty and a pure beef patty, plus American cheese, shredded lettuce, onions, pickles and special sauce.
The Secret Menu items are not on their menu board (secret, d ba?), but you can enjoy it anytime from 10:30 AM to 4:00 AM (regular hours) at any McDo store near you or via McDelivery. You can simply ask the store crew for their Secret Menu and they will gladly prepare the special sandwiches for you and your friends.

]]>On January 11, 2017, a big surprise came to Orson Sargado and Hosanna Aisah Pascua from Davao City, and to the other Shopping Spree winners in all SM Store branches across the country as they were notified by The SM Store representatives to be two of the lucky winners of The SM Store’s Shop Your Way to a Php 100,000.00 Shopping Spree with MasterCard promotion.
At SM City Davao, 41-year-old Orson Sargado, who hails from Mintal and works for a non-profit organization, was the lucky winner of the said promo. Together with his family, he enjoyed an afternoon of VIP shopping at The SM Store and SM Appliance Center.
“My first reaction was disbelief. I was sweating profusely and I couldn’t believe I won,” recalls Sargado, a father of three, when he found out about the prize. “This is a wonderful treat for the New Year,” he says.
Meanwhile, in SM Lanang Premier, Hosanna Aisah Pascua, 32, from Cabantian, was awarded P100,000 Shopping Spree at the Prestige Lounge. She brought her two kids to join her for the shopping extravaganza at The SM Store and other affiliate stores – SM Appliance Center, SM Supermarket, and ACE Hardware.
Both Sargado and Pascual, along with their families and friends, were also surprised with a party by The SM Store in SM City Davao and SM Lanang Premier.
A joint project between The SM Store and Mastercard, every P3,000 single-receipt purchase using a Philippine-issued MasterCard at The SM Store entitled a cardholder to one electronic raffle entry that gave them a chance to win P100,000 shopping spree at any SM Retail Store.
The #SMShoppingSpree promotion is one of the many exciting promotions of the SM Store. Watch out for The SM Store’s more exciting promos for shoppers in 2017.

]]>The post The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf’s 2017 Giving Journals appeared first on DavaoBase.
]]>The CBTL 2017 Giving Journal is available in the following colors/designs:
The unique and heart-warming part about the CBTL journal is that it is designed to remind the user the essence of the season, and that is giving. Each Giving Journal redemption will help the scholars of the Real LIFE Foundation, an organization committed to serving the disadvantaged Filipino youth through educational assistance, character development, and community service. The journal is also meant to help the user start his or her own Giving Journey.
In addition, the 2017 Giving Journal highlights CBTL’s giving commitment through its different partner organizations and beneficiaries. Aside from that, those who have CBTL Giving Journals get to enjoy promo coupons they can use at their favorite CBTL branch!
In its 2017 Giving Journal launch in Davao, guests were asked to help design sugar cookies that will be donated to the kids of SOS Children’s Village Davao. We hope the kids enjoyed eating the cookies just as much as we enjoyed designing them.
1. A minimum single-receipt purchase of a regular or large sized Original Ice Blended®, Espresso/coffee-based, or Tea-based Beverage, Hot Chocolate/Hot Vanilla or CBTL capsules qualifies a customer to get a stamp card that comes with 1 stamp.
2. Each card consists of 12 circles with corresponding purchased drink/item assignments. These are as follows:
(1) Box of CBTL capsules (any flavor) = 2 stamps
(1) CBTL Single Serve Beverage System (Venus, Contata, Kaldi, or Desto) purchase automatically allows the customer to claim his/her 2017 Giving Journal
3. Stamp card must always be presented upon purchase so that a circle may be stamped whenever its corresponding product assignment is purchased.
4. Once all 12 circles are stamped and completed in one stamp card, customer will be able to claim The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® 2017 Giving Journal at any The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® branch. Combining of stamps cards is not allowed.
5. The completed stamp card should be presented and surrendered to the branch where The Giving Journal will be claimed. The cashier will punch the stamp card to prevent reuse.
Promo period is from October 22, 2016 to January 8, 2017. Giving Journals may be claimed beginning October 22, 2016 until 60 days after the promo has ended.
(Info on claiming a Giving Journal is taken from CBTL’s official website.)
It’s not so difficult, really. In fact, we so love CBTL’s coffee and tea beverages that we’ve already completed a stamp card in less than 2 weeks from CBTL’s launch in provincial stores. In keeping with the “giving” theme, we gave away our filled stamp card to my brother Julius, who claimed a gray Caring Cup Global journal. Now, we’re on our way to completing another card for another recipient.

]]>The entire class that was used to the old-school ways of chalk, blackboard and Manila paper was mesmerized as the teacher began to demonstrate animation in a PowerPoint presentation, show videos and create diagrams that can be manipulated with a flick of a pen.
Similar scenes of engaged students were reported by the 29 other public high schools that were shortlisted as beneficiaries of Caltex’s fuel to donate program. Caltex Fuel Your School (FYS) is estimated to benefit at least 200 teachers and 50,000 students in Davao City’s highest need senior public high schools. FYS successfully raised P3 million which was used to purchase much needed learning equipment in Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM) classroom subjects requested by teachers for their students.
Piso para sa Eskwela
From June 1 to 30, 2016, Caltex Fuel Your School donated P1 for every one liter purchase of Caltex with Techron or Delo Sports diesel engine oil from any of the 22 Caltex stations or lubricants business partners in Davao City. The students played a vital role in raising awareness and fuels ups for the program. Aside from tapping social media, they created jingles, cheers and homemade FYS flyers throughout Davao metropolis informing their communities that fuelling up at the nearest Caltex station will help them get their much need educational materials.
Allan Orillan, Caltex retailer, can attest to the FYS buzz surrounding his Caltex stations,” The students did a great job. I received reports from our gas attendants of motorists who gassed up because of FYS. It’s good to feel connected to the community where I do business.”
“Since its Philippine launch in 2015, we are proud to report that Caltex Fuel Your School has funded more than 58 classroom projects at 67 schools in Manila and Davao cities. It has impacted around 153,000 public high schools students,” said Peter Morris, country chairman of Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), marketer of the Caltex brand of fuels and lubricants.
FYS beneficiaries were selected by Chevron’s project partners, the Department of Education and the American Chamber Foundation of the Philippines based on stringent criteria such as having the highest need senior public high schools students in their enrollment and a sharp focus on STEM learning. For the FYS cycle 2, teachers can choose the learning materials they need up to P100,000 in value per school . At Davao City National High School for instance which has a student population of 10,000; the teacher proposed that his grade 11 students receive two sets of Lego Mindstorm robotics kits which let them build a variety of robots and create programming missions.
“Such learning materials will help the children engage in lessons that offer many opportunities to master the skills needed to boost their education and expand their future career opportunities. And we don’t have to borrow equipment from other schools anymore,” said teacher Brady Nave who listed the robotics kits on his FYS wish list.
“We are proud to support our local teachers in helping their students get excited about STEM and encourage them to pursue STEM courses, and ultimately, STEM careers,” said Margaret Jubane, Caltex retailer.

]]>This was revealed by CPI Country Chairman Peter Morris during the launch of Caltex Fuel Your School (FYS) in a Caltex station in Brgy. Bajada, Davao City. “From June 1 to June 30, 2016, for every 1-liter purchase of Caltex with Techron or sale of Delo Sports diesel engine oil at participating Caltex stations in Davao City, we will donate one peso (P1) to support qualified classroom projects in STEM subjects,” announced Morris.
CPI is allocating P3 million for the purchase of better classroom facilities and advanced learning materials for students in Davao City’s highest-need senior public highs schools taking the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) track of the K-12 education. The fuel-to-donate campaign is well timed, given the entry this year of the country’s first Grade 11 public school students.
The multi-awarded Caltex FYS PH is launched in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) and the American Chamber Foundation Philippines (ACFP) with the support of American Chambers of the Philippines-Mindanao Chapter. The partners hope to boost to improve learning by equipping less privileged public senior high schools with quality learning materials.
The DepEd Region XI office has selected the highest-need public senior high schools in the city to participate in the campaign. ACFP will screen the proposed projects based on a set of criteria (to know more about the criteria, visit Caltex Facebook page), with the resulting shortlisted schools’ projects to be posted on the Caltex FYS Facebook page for voting. Each qualified entry can receive up to a maximum of P100,000 worth of classroom materials, wherein projects with the most number of votes get funded first. ACFP will use the P3 million grant to procure equipment for the qualified STEM classroom projects.
“Caltex Fuel Your School’s vision is not just to modernize education in the Philippines, but also to empower the teachers and equip the students with high quality and advanced learning, making them career-ready as they step out of school. By involving different partners such as educators, Caltex retailers and lubricant accounts as well as Davao motorists, Caltex Fuel Your School models the idea of ‘it takes a village to raise a child’,” stated Morris.
“We are issuing a call-to-action to other businesses to join Chevron in supporting project-based learning methods to increase engagement in STEM and promote engineering design thinking in classrooms. We must increase student engagement in STEM subjects. This is not a small challenge, and the business community has to do its part. If we want to truly make a difference, we must all work together to provide educators with resources to interest students and prepare them for STEM related careers,” said Atty. Raissa Bautista, CPI Manager for Policy, Gov’t and Public Affairs.
AmCham Philippines-Mindanao Chapteris grateful for the partnership with Chevron in helping uplift Philippine education. Ed Feist, ACFP President, believes that “education is what the country needs to further propel its progress, and modernizing the education system is a significant step towards achieving it.”
DepEd XI Regional Director Alberto Escobarte sees Caltex Fuel Your School initiative as a welcome development to the continuous upliftment of education in Davao City. “This will surely help fuel up the learning process in Davao City as it maintains its title as the education hub in Mindanao,” Escobarte said.
“We are thankful and happy that Caltex retailers here in Davao City are given the opportunity to work as one. This initiative is our way of giving back to Davao City schools particularly at this time when senior high school will be implemented for the first time and public schools need all the help they could get to successfully teach STEM,” said Allan Orillan, a Caltex retailer in the city.
Morris assures that Caltex FYS is set to fuel up STEM learning in more schools in the country every year. CPI is committed to contribute to the development of education in the country through its long-term Energy for Learning initiative under which more and more programs are being created to provide learning and livelihood skills to disadvantaged people.

]]>Being an introvert and an online enthusiast at the same time, I find it convenient to use online means in order to get what I need. Apart from work, my usual online activities include reading the latest news, ordering food for delivery, and communicating with family and friends. It’s only fairly recently that I have turned to the Internet for my shopping and purchasing needs.
Several online shops have sprung up over the last few years, and many of us have enjoyed the pleasure of buying items at astoundingly discounted prices. Who doesn’t want to save as much as they can on purchases? I’m sure I do!
Enter ShopBack, a relatively new player in the Philippine online merchant market that offers rebates (or cashbacks) on top of the promos already offered by popular online stores.
Here’s how the ShopBack cashback process works:
After signing up for a ShopBack account, you may run through the wide range of online shop choices across several categories: electronics, fashion, food and beverage, lifestyle, and more.
Click on your preferred online store, and shop in the same process that the merchant processes your purchase.
After successful payment, you should receive your cashback in the next few days. If your total accumulated cashback reaches at least P300, you can cash it out through your PayPal account, local bank account, or GCash wallet once its status turns from ‘Pending’ to ‘Redeemable’ after a validation period.
Here’s a sneak peek of popular online stores offering cashback that you can earn through ShopBack:
As one of the leading online stores in the country, Lazada has earned a reputation for being a one-stop shop for all kinds of things. This is especially the place to shop if you’re looking for great value on consumer electronics. I’ll go so far as to say that their range is truly unparalleled. Lazada offers up to 10% cashback and voucher codes through ShopBack.
Get the best travel deals – hotel bookings, flight fares, and car rental services – with Expedia, and save more with ShopBack cashback. They even have convenient packaged deals for you that consist of flight and hotel bookings. All you have to do is key in your travel dates and destination and a list of hotel will be presented to you along with the accompanying hotel. ShopBack offers a whopping 8% cashback for Expedia!
Agoda is famous for offering discounted rates on thousands of hotels all over the world. Get rebates from ShopBack on top of the discounted Agoda deals. Agoda has one of the most extensive list of hotels to choose from – up to 700,000. If you’re pretty particular about your choice of stay overseas, then Agoda is your best bet. Agoda offers up to P400 cashback as well as some exclusive voucher codes.
I’m surprised and happy to find one of my favorite online stores on ShopBack! FoodPanda does food deliveries for some of the most popular fast foods and restaurants. There is a whole thoroughfare of cuisines for you to sink your teeth into from popular fast food chains and fine French restaurants to local favorites. If you ever feel like abandoning your kitchen duties for the day, you know where to turn to. Foodpanda offers 7% cashback through Shopback.
ShopBack has long been running in Malaysia and Singapore, and they’ve just expanded to the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countries. Looking at its amazing array of online stores, I am eager to make my future online purchases through ShopBack.

]]>The city is slowly evolving into a fashion haven as well. I have seen this through the rise of several fashion stores and the emergence of fashion bloggers who are steadily growing in number. Fashion might not be something I’m passionate about, but I’ll eagerly support homegrown brands and personalities who want to make Davao City a potential fashion capital.
Because I’m such a noob in this particular genre, I tried searching Google and Facebook for “Davao fashion”, and found these three helpful online sources related to fashion and style:
I found this online shop via Google as one of the top search results. Fashion Avenue Davao specializes in trendy women’s clothing at ultra-affordable prices. It has already racked up more than 24,000 likes on Facebook, and their unique sales strategy of online reservations seems to be working out for them.
Mobile 09425795332 or 09052330378
As one of the foremost fashion and art schools in Davao City, FIDA offers several courses on design. Its Facebook page appears on the first page of Google search, and it’s probably something that you might want to look into for fashion advice.

Prepare to relive the Pinoy tradition of making Saturdays a time for family bonding with Jollibee’s “I Love You Sabado” campaign. The month-long celebration kicked off last July 4, 2015 in six locations nationwide, and Jollibee Ulas was the host in Davao’s leg of the campaign launch.
Dozens of families lined up early morning to witness the launch of “I Love You Sabado”, which was also attended by Jollibee’s operations and marketing team. Children of all ages were treated to games, and naturally everyone went crazy when Jollibee and Friends — Yum, Twirlie, Hetty and Popo — dropped by to join the fun. The first 100 people who attended the event were treated to P100 worth of Jollibee products.
An updated version of the “I Love You Sabado” jingle was introduced during the launch, with “Nasaan Ka Nang Kailangan Kita” actress Emmanuelle Vera singing the song. She also posed for photos with the event attendees and the Jollibee mascots.
“I Love Your Sabado” aims to make Saturdays a fun bonding day for families. To maximize the experience, you may drop by Jollibee Buhangin and Bolton on all Saturdays of July at 3:00 PM and get the chance to win freebies.
