Offering an exclusive first look at the OPPO Reno11 Series 5G, brand ambassadors Bea Alonzo and Nadine Lustre create anticipation for the groundbreaking phone as seen in the behind the scenes of the TVC for the newest addition to the Reno series, providing a sneak peek into the new Portrait Expert features that make it stand out.

Watch The Making of the OPPO Reno11 Series 5G TVC here.


Filmed amidst the vibrant greenery and sparkling waters of Batangas, the natural visual treat accentuated the impressive camera capabilities of the OPPO Reno11 Series 5G. “Shooting against a windy green backdrop was a poetic experience,” said Bea Alonzo expressing how the Reno11, held against her hair, made her feel like a character in a painting. The 32MP telephoto lens, a standout feature of the phone, is lauded for its ability to capture these moments perfectly, adding a magical touch to the visuals.

The OPPO Reno11 Series 5G debuts as the latest Reno series offering from OPPO, inspired by nature as reflected in the phone’s design with the hues of Pearl White and Wave Green. A captivating behind-the-scenes sneak peek at the journey of Bea and Nadine into nature, which highlighted the OPPO Reno11's Telephoto Camera, is revealed in the TVC-making film video.

Rooted in the elegance of pearl white and the vibrancy of wave green, the phone’s design philosophy sets the stage for a visual masterpiece to capture the essence of the natural world. As seen in the video, scenes outdoors are presented, echoing the OPPO Reno11 Series 5G's deliberate integration of natural textures into its design. “Holding the Reno11 Pro 5G while walking on the beach, it felt like I was an explorer uncovering the secrets of pearl white.” Nadine excitedly shares.

The telephoto lens emerges as a signature weapon, capturing a moment within a moment. Bea emphasizes how the lens enhances the vividness of every performance, particularly in capturing interactions with the green scenery of nature. She also shared how the phone captured every subtle movement without disrupting her natural state, allowing the photographer to frame every smile and gaze, revealing her raw, standout emotion.

For Nadine, the OPPO Reno11 Series 5G is a game-changer, blending harmoniously with its surroundings, creating a magical and unforgettable feeling. To beautifully sum it up, it all goes back to embodying the Reno11 Series 5G's design philosophy – to stand out and make every portrait an extraordinary expression of an individual’s most natural and authentic self captured in the frame.

The OPPO Reno11 Series 5G is launching in the Philippines on February 1. Stay updated on the latest Reno series news by visiting OPPO Philippines’ official website at www.oppo.com.ph/ or its official Facebook page at OPPO Philippines.

Travel around the Philippines with J&T Express PH’s newly-launched TVC

The leading express delivery service provider launches its first-ever TVC, showcasing its coverage nationwide
J&T Express Philippines, one of the industry-leading logistics and courier service companies in the country and globally, further expands its reach to its customers as it releases its first-ever TVC ad campaign.

Crossing the Philippines from north to south, the visual not only details J&T Express’ dedication to providing quality delivery services but also showcases the beautiful sceneries in the Philippines. From the aerial shots in San Juanico Bridge in Leyte to the majestic windmills, rice fields, and mountainsides in Ilocos where the company’s delivery trucks are traveling, it just goes to show that J&T Express has already achieved its coverage nationwide.
“We at J&T [Express] have always wanted to share how we stayed committed to providing customer-oriented and efficiency-based delivery service to our Filipino consumers—and this is one way to showcase it with everyone,” says Zoe Chi, Vice President of J&T Express Philippines.

This is also the first time that the general public has seen a fully-automated distribution and sorting equipment, which does not require manual labor. Parcels are automatically identified according to the label and are sorted automatically into specific sacks that will lead them to their destinations. Not only these are efficient, but are also safe and save manpower labor. J&T Express’ investments cost hundreds of millions to sustain the chain supply in fulfilling its goals and achieving shorter delivery lead times as promised.
As seen on the TVC, it also details how the company can reach its customer through all parts of the country by land, air, and sea. Some even use boats just to deliver parcels to their customers.

“Despite all the hurdles caused by the pandemic, this just motivated us to strive for the better and our latest campaign is a testament to let our consumers know that we will always aim to deliver for them across any distances,” Chi continued.

The last scene of the TVC, meanwhile, shows how a J&T Express delivery rider in his motorcycle on the long trail of the road ahead—a metaphor to salute all the couriers who are driving every day on various small roads, islands, mountains, barangays, and sitios. This encompasses the heart and spirit of J&T to serve people across all distances in the Philippines.

A behind the scenes look at the latest LBC TV commercial - Aming Ligaya

LBC Express comes out of their newest TVC entitled 'Aming Ligaya' endorses Kris Aquino. The Anthem for the Joy of Moving it for Filipinos all over the world. This anthem reassures everyone that with LBC’s pride and joy in moving.

Aming Ligaya, draws inspiration from this same passion and perseverance because, more than anything else, LBC values the Filipino family and the importance of connecting each and every member wherever in the world they may be.

Aming Ligaya seeks to remind everyone that there is nothing easy about LBC’s daily deliveries, be it in the city, the provinces or from every part of the world.



A behind the scenes look at the latest LBC TV commercial - Aming Ligaya

To Filipinos all over the world, LBC is synonymous with dependability. It has after all, a 66-year history of delivering to the Filipino, literally and figuratively. After its “We like to move it” rebranding a few years back, LBC needed to evolve further to move itself even closer to its customers. They would come up with a new campaign, one that didn’t have to look far for inspiration––The Joy of Moving. It would talk about LBC’s team, the passionate, hardworking men and women who tirelessly served and touched people through their efforts. This led to the creation of the newest anthem and campaign material. 


Ito ang Aming Ligaya. 


You’ve seen it by now, the epic in scale LBC TV commercial that looks like it was shot across the entire archipelago. While there’s some truth to that (parts of it were actually shot in the far-flung reaches of Tanay, Rizal), one thing you can be sure of is that like many LBC deliveries, it was no easy feat. But just like all these deliveries, it was a labor of love––shot, sealed and delivered with joy. 


The production made use of very little CGI. Filmmaker Jessel Monteverde helmed 90% of the shots on location, with real talents and real people. The kids happily running behind the LBC truck were an active bunch of locals who were more than eager to be part of the shoot. Monteverde made sure that this authentic joy and excitement came out in each of the material’s major moments, from the mother and her child receiving a package from his OFW father, to the old man in the outer limits of a barrio, getting the money his daughter sent. 


Monteverde’s vision for the film was inspired by his own experience growing up with the brand. “I grew up with LBC. The happiness that you feel when that balikbayan box arrives and is opened––it’s like Christmas morning.”, he said. Veteran Director of Photography Rody Lacap utilized a lot of natural lighting to bring out these genuine reactions and also highlight the beautiful landscapes, many of which were captured through a series of long shots that contributed to the film’s bigness. 

“This is the first time that we are doing something of this scale. The idea is to highlight how LBC does the legwork so that we continue to bring happiness into people’s lives. We take pride in the joy of moving—whether it’s for our customers or our team members,” says Mr. Javy Mantecon 

Talented production designers made use of existing structures and dressed them up to transform them into authentic looking homes and even LBC branches. Familiar bright red LBC trucks maneuvered through tight city streets as they would normally do on a regular run. The hardiness of these vehicles (and its drivers) were also shown and tested on the backroads and makeshift bridges featured in the other scenes that they were shot. 


Uncontrolled elements during the production such as unforeseen rainfall were creatively included in the shots, making the scenes even more difficult for LBC’s delivery crew talents. It was a welcome development, as regular delivery crews would normally go through the same difficulties, if not worse. 

“What LBC employees do isn’t easy. But they do what they do with joy in their hearts and love for their job--people on the receiving end of this, the customer, feel this,” Monteverde added. 

The booming beats of an urban hip-hop influenced anthem (arraged by Tomas Vinoya and Digitrax) fleshed out the film’s voice, expressing the brand’s joy and enthusiasm through well-meaning lyrics and an arrangement that rouses the spirit of serving. 

Aming Ligaya seeks to remind everyone that there is nothing easy about LBC’s daily deliveries, be it in the city, the provinces or from every part of the world. 

A package arrives in the hands of the recipient because of the hard work and total dedication that LBC’s team members commit to each day.

LBC's newest TV commercial : The Anthem for the Joy of Moving it for Filipinos all over the world - Aming Ligaya


Filipinos are known to do anything for their respective families’ sake. That’s why millions and millions of Filipinos choose to leave the comforts of their own homes to look for better paying jobs – whether in other cities or abroad – carrying with them the hope of giving their families a better and more comfortable life. 


Arranged by Tomas Vinoya of Digitrax, LBC’s new anthem, Aming Ligaya, draws inspiration from this same passion and perseverance because, more than anything else, LBC values the Filipino family and the importance of connecting each and every member wherever in the world they may be. 


Through an inspirational melody heavily influenced by impassioned rhymes from local hip-hop artists, the song expounds on the great lengths LBC is willing to go through in order to deliver, because LBC understands the sacrifice one has to go through to just send money, package or balikbayan box home. LBC understands that the packages they send are not merely boxes of pasalubong, but boxes of stories, hope, care and longing meant to give a sense of comfort and being at home. 

Aming Ligaya encapsulates LBC’s willingness to go out of its route, explore unchartered territories, or brave adverse weather conditions for every delivery, reassuring its customers that no matter what happens, LBC will deliver happiness to every Filipino home anywhere in the country – from Laoag to Jolo.

This anthem reassures everyone that with LBC’s pride and joy in moving, 
"Aming ligaya ang mag hatid ng inyong saya, Lagyan ng Kulay ang Buhay at pag-ibig ang padala"

Latest Kwentong JollibeeTVC honors Pinoy dads

Heartwarming Father’s Day TVC highlights love and acceptance



Jollibee, the country’s number one fastfood chain launched its newest made for digital material which premiered just in time for Father’s Day.

The two-minuter Father’s Day special, titled “Entrance Exam,” is the latest installment of the fastfood chain’s Kwentong Jollibee series. It revolves around the story of a successful father with high expectations and his son’s earnest desire to fulfill them. The commercial culminates with an unexpected twist—expectations of excellence can be built over decades, but love and acceptance trumps over disappointment at the end of the day.


The Kwentong Jollibee campaign captures the many heartwarming stories of Filipinos over the years and how Jollibee has been part of it. The campaign kicked off last February with three heartwarming real stories of long-time Jollibee customers and an omnibus material presented from the perspective of a restaurant manager who has been with the company for more than 20 years now.


“Entrance Exam” was directed by Ianco dela Cruz who also helped bring to life the previous Kwentong Jollibee stories like “Almusal,” “Jabee,” “Tagpuan,” and “Mama’s Girl” (Mother’s Day special). 

“Kwentong Jollibee is the story of Pinoys all over the country and the world and how their favorite fastfood chain figured in it. It represents the Pinoys’ long standing love affair with Jollibee,” said Francis Flores, Jollibee Global Brand Chief Marketing Officer. “We believe that everyone has a Jollibee story to share. And through Kwentong Jollibee, we want to creatively capture the universal Filipino experience, anchored on the things we love—our families, friends, communities, that somehow also make up our favorite Jollibee memories while growing up.”

Watch “Entrance Exam” on the Jollibee Philippines Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/JollibeePhilippines/videos/1124709530908605/) or on the official YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/jollibeedigital1) and remember to thank Dad, Papa, and Tatay for a lifetime of unconditional love, encouragement, and acceptance.

Camella's Newest TVC captures Filipino's hearts

The story is as sweet as it is universal. It is a rite of passage for nearly every tween or pre-teen, and a – dare we say – rude, but charming, awakening into what life has in store. A young boy looks up and suddenly his world changes. In an instant, he has been cast out of the boyhood life of toys and comics, playing pranks and computer games and thrust into the world of love-at-first sight – or perhaps, crush-at-first-sight? 

The object of his affection is lovely, radiant, charming, and, unexpectedly, the world has shifted – girls are no longer “yucky.” Now, our hero needs to learn to deal with his newfound feelings of confusion, longing, and that nagging discomfort in the pit of the stomach, all because of one beautiful girl that he probably will never see again.

Camella uses this precious experience as the setting for its newest television ad. Interestingly, it is an ad for its masterplanned communities ­– vast properties that offer facilities and amenities closer to a city than a mere residential village. 


The communities are designed to be almost completely self-contained, offering everything from commercial centers, retail stores, restaurants, convenience stores, drugstores, and groceries or supermarkets; to educational establishments; to even churches and other centers for worship. All these come with lifestyle facilities that amazingly deck all other Camella properties like clubhouses or function halls, swimming pools, play courts, playgrounds, parks, walkways, and jogging or biking paths.

Taking a completely different, and rather more heartwarming route, Camella and its advertising agency Leo Burnett, have opted to use a more human and quite touching approach. Instead of having an endorser or an off-camera voice list and show the many facilities available at the Camella masterplanned communities, the ad instead shows the facilities quietly as the backdrops for our hero’s maddening woes. All this, set to the moving lyrics and stirring melody of the song that threads the ad together… Isang sulyap lang, nang malaman ko na. Isang sulyap lang, ang lakas ng tama. Uncannily, the lyrics could be referring to both the young boy’s love for his lady, or someone’s love for his Camella home and neighborhood. In the end, the more experiential and less direct approach seems to make the story more powerful and features the communities, and their many charms, more effectively.

Our hero first sees her at a wedding in the village’s church. Did she notice him too? It seems not, what she did notice instead was his adorably endearing dog, Max. We see her drive out of his life through the community’s elegant entranceway. He walks the landscaped avenues thinking of her. He dreams of her in the safety and comfort of his own Camella home. He draws her pictures in school – which, by the way, is also within the community. He so feels the pangs of pain, longing and a love lost that even when his dog asks him to play among the community playing fields, he refuses. Then, Max manages to snap him out of his reverie, and they begin to enjoy each other’s company once more – running through the jogging paths, shopping in the village grocery, hanging out by the pool. We catch glimpses of the shuttle service and the hints of the 24/7 security. All these are cast within an exquisite village, embellished with lush tropical landscaping, backdropped against the most incredible views of mountains, gentle sloping forests, and beautiful sunsets. Even the locations are well thought out by Camella.
In the end, the dog – Max – becomes the real hero and truly, the boy’s best friend. He slyly leads our young man to a new neighbor who is just moving in, and, in a denouement that doesn’t really surprise anyone – but is sweet enough to be endearing – the new neighbor is the same girl who captured our hero’s heart. Happy endings happen often in Camella communities.

To tie things up even tighter, the ad ends with the tagline, “All that You Need is Here. Camella Masterplanned Communities.” One wonders if they’re just talking about the property’s facilities, or does young love come with it? Basically, what it all means is this is the perfect place to live one’s life and nourish one’s family. One does not just own a home in a Camella community. One lives a life – with all the joys, adventures, and misadventures that entails, and in the masterplanned communities, everything can happen right outside your door.

The new “Masterplan” TV commercial is a shift from the past Camella ads where the story was about improving lives. Both “Sikip” and the last “Bunk Beds” – with the jingle that has wormed its way into many Filipinos’ hearts and has become a last-song-syndrome staple, “Daddy ko, dad-dikit. Dikit nang dikit… Sikip, masikip” – use humor to create compelling scenarios that tell the tales of families that have at last moved up in the world. Their dreams have come true, as they finally have a home of their own, with a lot more room, in a Camella community. That message, it seems, has been well driven home because today, Camella has become the country’s most preferred home brand and has been on Reader’s Digest’s list of Asia’s Trusted Brands three years in a row.

For its newest TV ad, Camella has a new message to send out, and the tagline says it all: All that You Need is Here. Camella has built into its masterplanned communities everything the Filipino and his family needs; beyond the bewitching homes offered by the wonderfully themed communities; here, one will live a life filled with magic and fun, delight and incredible adventure, amidst the splendid facilities families need to live the life and style they’ve always dreamed of.

Two of Camella’s communities – Savannah City in Iloilo and Gran Europa in Cagayan de Oro City – are fully and exquisitely masterplanned, and there are more in the pipeline.
