Philippine Pavilion honors Mt. Banahaw’s influence on the Filipino cultural landscape
“Enshrined by Republic Act 9847 as a Protected Area in 2009, Mount Banahaw stands as a sanctuary for both nature and culture, nurturing diverse ecosystems and serving as a beacon for spiritual seekers and pilgrims alike. Its slopes bear witness to the ebb and flow of history, as religious and political movements have found sanctuary amidst its peaks and verdant valleys,” Legarda said.
“As we unveil the Philippine Pavilion at the 60th International Art Exhibition at la Biennale di Venezia, we pay homage to the enduring legacy of Mount Banahaw and its profound influence on the Filipino cultural landscape,” Legarda added.

BSS (SEVENTEEN) Showcases the AI Eraser capabilities using the OPPO Reno11 F 5G
●
The OPPO AI Eraser feature is now
available for all OPPO Reno11 Pro, OPPO Reno11, and OPPO Reno11 F devices
● AI Eraser empowers all OPPO Reno11 Series users with advanced generative AI photo editing tools and flagship experiences
Before
After
BSS, the
subunit of the renowned South Korean boy band SEVENTEEN as well as the newest
OPPO Reno Experts, have sprung into action to showcase the capabilities of
OPPO’s newly rolled out AI Eraser.
The
free-to-use tool was recently rolled out to its OPPO Reno11 Series, which
includes the OPPO Reno11 Pro, OPPO Reno11, and OPPO Reno11 F. It allows OPPO
Reno11 Series users to easily remove objects from photos by circling them.
As a
dynamic and youthful boy group who revel in self-expression, BSS (SEVENTEEN)
members SEUNGKWAN, DK and HOSHI continuously create content and capture candid
moments on the go. There are times, however, when a precious moment captured
contains an unwanted object or background that would otherwise have resulted in
the perfect shot, such as the group picture (above) with an unwanted light
stand in the background.
With AI
Eraser, this can easily be fixed in a flash. All they did was simply circle the
unwanted light stand, and the OPPO Reno11 Series’ generative AI intelligently
removed it, generating natural-looking content to fill the space. The result is
the perfect composition that exactly matched their vision.
AI Eraser
for the OPPO Reno11 Series is capable of accurately recognising objects from
over 120 categories, including people, pets, trees, buildings, and flowers. It
uses advanced generative AI to allow for class-leading, seamless edits to
remove objects in the best way possible, creating natural-looking photos as a
result.
OPPO Reno11 Series users can remove an unwanted object in an almost-perfect picture instantly.
AI Eraser
is easy and convenient to use. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
STEP 1: Find a picture that is almost perfect
STEP 2: Tap Edit, followed by AI Eraser
STEP 3: Use Smart Lasso to draw around object, or use
Paint Over to draw over an object
STEP 4: Watch the object disappear before your eyes as AI Eraser uses generative AI to intelligently fill in the blanks, so you can enjoy your perfect picture
More AI Eraser features
Smart
Lasso and Paint Over are two available features under AI Eraser. Smart Lasso
allows users to easily encircle unwanted subjects, making it a highly
recommended feature for users who struggle with precision drawing or circling.
Paint Over
serves as a valuable complement to Smart Lasso, particularly when an object in
the image contains an area that users would prefer not to remove. Both features
come with a slider option to adjust the stroke size for even more precise
object removal.
While many
external smartphones within the OPPO Reno11 Series’ price range offer object
removal tools, they tend to produce results that appear noticeably edited,
creating unnatural-looking elements.
“Reno11 Series is the first smartphone line at its price to feature such advanced generative AI image editing, and demonstrates OPPO’s commitment to enrich everyday experiences through technology for everyone,” said Leon Wang, Director of Reno Series Product Planning Development.
Reno11
Series users in Phiippines can experience AI Eraser via an OTA update.

Scoops of Goodness for Every Juan: Japanese brand Almond Koka collaborates with Gelato Manila for a line of plant-based gelato
However, here’s the scoop: many are skipping the goodness of ice cream to cool down either because they’re lactose-intolerant or their lifestyles just call for more nutritious and more ethical alternatives.
This is what Japanese food manufacturer Glico with its Almond Koka brand and homegrown business Gelato Manila aim to address, as both believe that finding equally delicious and healthy ice cream must be a “no-sweat” job for Filipinos. Hence, they formed a collaboration to come up with a line of plant-based gelato where indulgence meets health during the country’s hottest season.
Providing Filipinos deliciously healthy choices
Glico’s Almond Koka is the best-selling almond milk in Japan, boasting a superior taste and top-notch nutrition from its Vitamin E content that is 100% of the daily requirement. Now available in the Philippines, Glico is eager to provide the freedom to enjoy delectable food and drinks made with their Almond Koka products, while not compromising the health needs of Filipinos.
Whipping up some plant-based coolness with Almond Koka is Philippines’ premium gelateria, Gelato Manila. Co-founded by world-renowned gelato maker Chef Zarah Manikan, the brand is known for its expertise in creating healthier Filipino gelatos using only natural ingredients sourced from local farmers and neighboring communities.
‘PINAS-Sarap’ with Almond Koka
The Pinoy Plant-Based Gelato by Almond Koka x Gelato Manila consists of plant-based versions of three well-loved Filipino ice cream flavors, all made with quality ingredients and Almond Koka milk products. Each flavor makes a good addition to any diet while beating the record-breaking heat.
As the Philippines is home to arguably some of the world’s best mangoes, the collaboration did not miss the opportunity to include Mangga Koka in their line of gelato. It’s made with fresh ripe mangoes churned with Almond Koka Original for a vibrant-tasting healthy treat.
On the other hand, Almond Mantikilya is a roasted almond butter gelato that has a bolder and nuttier flavor from the Almond Koka Unsweetened. It truly captivates Filipinos’ fondness for sweet indulgence with a surprising twist: it’s actually low in sugar!
Nothing puts anyone in a better mood than a scoop of good chocolate gelato. So completing the trifecta is Kokoa, which has the decadence of deep and rich chocolate from the finest cocoa and Almond Koka Chocolate. This flavor not only soothes the soul but also remains a healthy way to conquer a scorching day.
The Pinoy Plant-Based Gelato by Almond Koka x Gelato Manila will be available as a sampler set of all three flavors for only P450 from April 18, 2024 until June 2024 at www.gelatomanila.com and in selected One World Deli stores.

UNIQLO’s original MOA store is finally set to open its doors once more after major updates. The newly revamped store comes with a bigger space and larger offerings.
The branch opened in 2012 as the global brand’s very first store in the Philippines, introducing Filipinos to UNIQLO’s stylish and functional everyday clothing. With its sprawling 1,550 square meters at that time, the store served thousands of customers in the largest mall in the country and remained as one of the go-to hubs for LifeWear.
On May 17, the all-new UNIQLO MOA store promises to be even bigger with a doubled-up floor space of over 3,000 square meters spread across two floors. Loyal and new customers alike will surely enjoy the store’s new layout and latest presentations, as the space evolves with the new lifestyles of Filipinos.

Store-driven efforts such as same-day Click & Collect are set to give customers an integrated shopping experience with UNIQLO.
The all-new UNIQLO MOA store will also be the second store in the country to have UNIQLO Coffee and UTMe! Originally only available at UNIQLO Manila Global Flagship Store in Glorietta 5, UNIQLO Coffee and UTme! is coming to the MOA store to delight coffee lovers and art lovers, respectively.
UNIQLO Coffee in the Philippines presents locally sourced, high-quality coffee beans from Mt. Apo, and features goods and pastries that mix Filipino and Japanese flavors.
Meanwhile, the UTme! service lets customers customize shirts and tote bags with various designs from its library or their own creations and images. To celebrate the new opening, UNIQLO is expanding its UTme! line-up with new designs in collaboration with partners from the local community.
Redefined lifestyles
The UNIQLO MOA store offers the brand’s complete LifeWear collection for men’s, women’s, kids, and babies. The all-new store spotlights essentials that are made for all, such as, the UNIQLO Core T and UNIQLO BraTop collection. Collaboration pieces with world renowned designers and pop culture brands will also be available.
