Heart and Chiz: The Chezzy Hearts in Public

It's totally true in some sayings that "You can choose anyone you want to love but your heart will be the one to pick the right person for you?" and "Age doesn't matter". In this affair, I might say - Yes! it is true.

But why their affair just pump out few months sooner for the election period? I should say a right timing for booth of them because they are both "single" as of this moment. But there are humors that it's just a gimmick and others believe their feelings are mutual and true.

Booth of them are well-known in their respective profession as Senator Chiz Escudero from a rich family, a Senator with advocacy to help poor people; to enhance the education of students in the country and now a (TV) commercial endorser. While, Heart Evangelista as an actress, a commercial endorser both in print ads and TV. Something in common: they are loved by their followers / fans for sure. If their feelings are true and mutual; good for booth of them. But if this is a gimmick; better to stop it now. Not a good idea for booth parties to hang up on it because their will be different speculations for their respective fans.

This are the articles appear in the internet when I browse it.

This is the conversation in Yehey's Brewing Point live chat with  Chiz Escudero and that time he is running for a Senatorial position.  Will you vote for Chiz Escudero as Senator? 

From Philippines Election Journal, there are post tracking him from his Senatorial position but what are they? You have the right now to judge if he have bills submitted at the Senate?

Every Senator have their own goals that they will contribute in our country, they must have bills to pass and  in return; people will be happy for the outcome of the people they chose and voted. I know Sen. Chiz Escudero is independent and have good things in mind for our country but talk is dead if you will not work for it. I hope before the end of his term, there will be more good news about it. 

If there will be a chance to meet him, I will personally ask what are the things he contributed in our country.  People choose a public servant because they believe on their promises from their campaign, their good motives to enhance or uplift the morale of the people and gain sympathy to vote them. No more talk and promise to the people but on your own. 

I personally check his website as a Senator, his public profile and here is the good news about the accomplishments of his works for the past few years. And I'm happy to browse this one. CLICK ME! But is this is will be a proof about his accomplishment?

As a registered voter, I will think if I will choose him as one of the Senator that I will put on my list. We have our own free will; know what is right and what is wrong. Choose the person you want to vote not because they are on our side or they have good  list of bills to be pass but are we going to benefit from it? If yes, choose them, but remember one thing. Vote wisely!

Philips offers simple solution to hi-tech need!

SoundBar lets you stream music and movies seamlessly in high quality audio

With the emergence of high definition video, the increasing demand for high quality audio is nothing but natural. Traditionally, to fully enjoy an HD movie, one would require a Blu-ray Disc Player or Smart Media Player connected to an AV receiver with five satellite speakers and a subwoofer, which isthen connected to the TV. All these connections make watching movies complicated and even messy.Some may just settle for mediocre audio when they find the complexityof set-up is not worth their while.  

But with the SoundBar CSS5123, Philips presents a hi-tech yet simple solution to this predicament.“Essentially, the SoundBar is an all-in-one speaker system that’s designed and engineered to play high definition movies and music, wirelessly or otherwise, while producing high quality cinematic sound. It is part of the Philips Fidelio range of premium audio products,” explains Mr. Franco Flameno, Business Development Manager for Lifestyle Entertainment, Philips Consumer Lifestyle Philippines.“In this day and age, there’s no more excuse to have a subpar audio system. Speakersystems are now expected to be multifunctional and convenient.” 

A 2012 Red Dot Design winner, the SoundBarCSS5123 is a premium speaker system that caters to the demands of the thriving home entertainment market.“The unmistakably superior sound quality can be attributed to its integrated powerful speakers and a wirelesssubwoofer,”Flameno explains.“It utilizes Virtual Surround Sound technology wherein the speakers are angled accordingly to create a surround sound effect for arealistic movie experience.”Additionally, the SoundBar CSS5123features aDoubleBASS technology which enhances the bass fora deeper and fuller effect. Moreover, its sleek design offers versatility to be placed anywhere.

Flameno points out, “a good home speaker is one that is not tedious to set up, boasts compatibility, and most importantly, delivers an amazing and powerful surround sound.” The SoundBar gains an edge in compatibility and convenience as it is an AV receiver in itself, allowing any DVD or Blu-ray Disc Player to be paired seamlessly through AUX, optical or coaxial connections and produce equally high quality sound. Furthermore, a built-in Smart Media Playerallows one to simply connect the media source, like an external hard drive, via USB and the SoundBar will access and play all media files. Users can enjoy full HD video projection on TV as it plays cinematicaudio.

Flameno adds that theSoundbarcan also wirelessly connect with Android phones and tablets. “With SimplyShare technology and Wi-Fi, we made it easy for users to stream movies and even music via an Android device or PC,”explainsFlameno. 

“We at Philips have made it a point to make meaningful innovations such as the Soundbarto give only the best experiences for our consumers. It’s all about making lives simpler for all of us,” he concludes. With its array of features, the Philips Soundbar CSS5123 is seemingly the right fit for a premium home entertainmentsystem, providing cinematic surround sound for a more immersive and realistic viewing experience.
