Security and privacy are assured with a two-meter entry elevation facing F. E. Zuellig Avenue. The welcome into this emblem of globally-oriented work and business is no less impressive. Landscaped gardens promise an awe-inspiring experience within.  Plush starts to happen at the porte cochere, a wide canopied drop-off area.  Occupants and guests are then ushered into the building’s luxurious, glass-enclosed lobby, a 500-square-meter, double-height space that effectively conveys excellence and fine taste. The lobby permanently hosts a posh lounge café.  It is also the ideal venue for art exhibits, car shows and similar events.

Combinable ready units, ranging in size from 80 to 396 square meters allows locators more flexibility in executing more efficient layouts.  These units are classified into three tiers – Penthouse, Premium and Standard – offered for sale or lease.

Each unit is fitted with a fire detection, alarm and sprinkler system, provisions for telecommunications and fiber to the home, broadband, variable refrigerant volume/flow air-conditioning system and 100% power back-up. Each level of the state-of-the-art One Mandani Bay tower incorporates eco-friendly, world-class features, modern technological access systems and premium finishes.


4 residential towers have been launched since the community was introduced in 2016.  Mandani Bay Suites, with its two residential components, has since been fully sold.  The development topped off in November 2018.  Mandani Bay Quay has launched two of its four towers.  One Mandani Bay is its office component.

Said Coco, there's nothing like riding a motorcycle, whenever he gets the chance, he rides his bike to the countryside to relax his mind from the stress of work. His love for bikes even transcends into the big and small screen. Many of you have probably noticed Coco riding a motorcycle in his films or in TV dramas every so often. With all the motorcycles in his collection, he makes sure that he personally takes care of them. And he spares no expense in ensuring that his bikes are in tip-top shape. Part of this is making sure that he uses only the best oil for his motorbikes’ engines. That's why he only trusts nothing but Shell Advance lubricants.




"Shell Advance ang gamit ko para sa aking mga motor. Natuto kasi ako sa tatay ko na Shell Rimula ang gamit para sa jeepney namin dati," Coco stresses. "Kaya ngayon, para sa mga motor ko, Shell Advance naman ang gamit ko kasi sigurado ako na mataas ang kalidad nito at siguradong kumpleto ang proteksyon na binibigay nito sa makino ko,” he adds.



Motorcycle enthusiasts like Coco Martin regularly use Shell Advance because it maximizes horsepower, enhances fuel economy, keeps pistons clean, provides superior wear protection and protects against extreme heat. "May tiwala kasi talaga ako sa Shell kasi 105 years na silang gumagawa ng de-kalidad na mga langis," Coco stresses.



Shell has built a 105-year legacy fo service and quality in its prodcuts, two of them are Shell Advance and Shell Rimula. All of which aim to make the future for motorists—whether riders of motorcycles and tricycles or drivers of jeepneys, cars, and trucks.

The newest addition to the Huawei Y Series, Y7 Pro 2019 boasts of features that are present and or lacking from its competitors in entry level segment and price bracket. At 9,990 pesos, Y7 Pro 2019 sports a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 octa-core SoC and Adreno 506 GPU with Vulkan support. Thus, gives Y7 Pro 2019 multi-core performance at battery efficiency and graphics convenient delivery and reliable performance. Y7 Pro has an expandable storage of up to 512GB via microSD card slot and 32GB internal storage.


Security and Accessibility
Y7 Pro 2019 features Face Unlock 2.0, a quick and easy to unlock devices using the artificial intelligence and the 16MP front camera, authenticating the identity of the user and unlock the device quickly, it lacks the biometrics feature such as fingerprint scanning though which are present in other competitor though, but the accuracy of the Face unlock can suffice and finger scan is a feature that others can live without.

Aesthetics and Experience
The Y7 Pro 2019 greets you with a 6.26-inch Dewdrop display with a togglable pearl-shaped notch (Huawei’s smallest notches to date) situated in the middle of the device providing a wider and more vivid visual experience. When held horizontally, Y7 Pro 2019’s back resembles a compact digital camera sending an impression that it can offer the acceptable smartphone photography experience at entry level class.


Feel and Ergonomics
Colors available in Aurora Blue and Midnight Black onto its ceramic back plate, which is secured seamlessly onto the metallic, matte mid-frame popular come on to the youth and stylish lifestyle, its back plate has a polycarbonate coating which provides better durability and scratch resistance. An Eye Protection Mode that automatically adjusts the colors of the display and reduces the intensity of the blue light, a TÜV Rheinland certified safety feature.


Mobile Photography Experience
It’s 13+2MP rear dual cameras can recognize 22 different categories of objects through AI processing helping the user to capture great images at ‘Auto Mode’, this is the default setting upon launching rear camera but let’s you choose more Camera modes when one decides to use personal preference.

‘Aperture Mode’ when you want to capture portrait images with user-dependent aperture level scroll vertical bar.

In the samples shots below, AI assist is ONn but the photos are not that so vivid using the rear camera but a little tweak using filters or mobile editing software could enhance the photo experience. But for me still an acceptable output from a camera sensor at this entry level class.





‘Beauty Mode’ gets handy with level settings at your perusal and eye judgement
‘Video mode’  capture motion pictures up to FHD 1080p 1920 x 1080 resolution
‘AR Lens mode’ lets you select between menus of preset Effects and Backgrounds for your own liking and preference to be automatically embedded in your photo or video.
‘Watermark Mode’ automatically adds preset necessary marks on your photo or video which adds details and info on your picture such as time, location, weather, your mood and activity.
‘Panorama Mode’ fits well in landscapes or outdoor photography, just follow the instructions carefully to get the best panorama shot.


‘Filter Mode’ is changeable using the vertical scroll bar and other presets such as Sentimental, impact, ND, Valencia, Blue, Halo Nostalgia and Dawn.
‘Pro Mode’ gives you freedom on capturing your subject with additional camera settings such as metering, ISO, Shutter Sped, Aperture value, Focus mode and White Balance settings, pretty much the same settings in most mirrorless camera and DSLRs but you got to deal with the big difference of performance especially the lens and sensor used.
‘HDR mode’ when enabled provides ore dynamic captured image, AI assisted processing basically combining three images into one for improved color vibrancy.


‘Good Food’ suitable for Food photos adding more richer colours.



‘Document Scan’ ability to capture document providing straightening option for later formatting.

To help you keep your selfie sessions seamless, Y7 Pro 2019 has an easy hands-free shooting that can be enabled through the Gesture Control and Smile Detection.

Battery Life
Y7 Pro 2019 is powered by a 4000mAh battery that supports 5V/2A charging, similarly at par with the top-of-the-line smartphones in the market. Y7 Pro 2019 is expected to retain at least 80 percent of its full capacity even after 700 recharges. Y7 Pro 2019 can help you manage your battery intensive applications with just one tap through intelligent battery management system and EMUI 8.2.


Finally, Huawei Y7 Pro 2019 is conceived to beat expectations for the entry-level class, it has the balanced of features, hardware and its price point. Though there are features that are on our ‘must have’ list, but these same features can be on our ‘Can live without’ list such as higher version Android 9 Pie, gyroscope sensor for highly demanding apps and biometrics access scanning. As I said the balance  within Y7 Pro is there at its price point, it boasts of features where users can bank on such as 16MP Selfie Camera (very food performence by the way), Vibrant pearl-shaped notched, Reliable Face recognition and stretched battery life.
