by GLEN P. SIBONGA Every new year almost always marks change — or better yet, an upgrade. When it comes to the Filipinos’ way of living, trends point to more homes adopting smart technology in and out of the house for a more convenient, more fun, and ultimately a better-lived life. In fact, in a study conducted in November last year, Statista projects 1.1 million smart homes in the Philippines in 2024 based on how fast the country is moving forward. As more Filipinos continue to live smarter with more smart tech devices around, they’ll need a constant stream of info and reviews to guide them in their ever-evolving digital lifestyles. One content platform on smart home tech and living is YouTube channel Next Upgrade, brought to life in 2021 following pandemic restrictions. The channel has since earned an Anvil award in 2023 and a YouTube Works Awards nomination in 2022. Now streaming its third season, Next Upgrade is keen to help more Filipinos thrive in in the hybrid era with more rele

SIBONGA Blessing para sa Star Magic at Rise artist na si Gillian Vicencio ang pagkatiwalaan bilang isa sa mga babies at ambassadors ni Rhea Anicoche Tan, ang CEO and President ng isa sa pinakasikat na brands pagdating sa pagpapaganda - ang BEAUTEDERM.  Mga sikat at kilalang celebrities ang nasa roster of ambassadors, endorsers at social media influencers ni Ms. Rhea kaya very thankful ang actress na mapabilang dito. Lalo na nga't kasama rin niya sa Beautederm family ang mga kaibigan niyang sina DJ JhaiHo at Kimson Tan. “Sobrang masaya kasi first endorsement ko ito, nakakatuwa na kahit baguhan at hindi pa ako ganoong kakilala ay nasama at pinagkatiwalaan ako ni Mommy Rei (Rhea) sa Beautederm.” Inilabas na ang ilan sa mga photos ni Gillian sa page mismo ng Beautederm at masaya rin ang business mogul na si Ms. Rhea dahil aminado ito na mula sa pagganap ni Gillian bilang Tox sa serye at sa Four Sisters Before the Wedding ay napapanood at nais na niya itong mapabilang sa kany
