Nokia 808 PureView’s 41mp cam ushers in revolution in smartphone imaging


The Nokia 808 PureView features a large, high-resolution 41 megapixel sensor with high-performance Carl Zeiss optics and new pixel oversampling technology. At standard resolutions (2/3, 5 and 8 megapixels) this means the ability to zoom without loss of clarity and capture seven pixels of information, condensing into one pixel for the sharpest images imaginable. At high-resolution (38 megapixel maximum) it means the ability to capture an image, then zoom, reframe, crop and resize afterwards to expose previously unseen levels of details. With superior low-light performance and the ability to save in compact file sizes for sharing in email, MMS, and on social networks, the Nokia 808 PureView makes it possible for anyone to capture professional looking images in any conditions.

Nokia sets a new industry standard with the first in a range of high end experiences based on exclusive Nokia PureView imaging technologies.

Barcelona, Spain – Nokia today ushered in a new era in high-end smartphone imaging with the Nokia 808 PureView. This is the first smartphone to feature Nokia PureView imaging technologies, bringing together high resolution sensors, exclusive Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia developed algorithms, which will support new high-end imaging experiences for future Nokia products.

In addition to superior still imaging technology, the Nokia 808 PureView, also includes full HD 1080p video recording and playback with 4X lossless zoom and the world’s first use of Nokia Rich Recording. Rich Recording enables audio recording at CD-like levels of quality, previously only possible with external microphones. The Nokia 808 PureView also features exclusive Dolby Headphone technology, transforming stereo content into a personal surround sound experience over any headphones and Dolby Digital Plus for 5.1 channel surround sound playback.

“Nokia PureView imaging technology sets a new industry standard by whatever measure you use,” said Jo Harlow, executive vice president of Nokia Smart Devices. “People will inevitably focus on the 41 megapixel sensor, but the real quantum leap is how the pixels are used to deliver breath-taking image quality at any resolution and the freedom it provides to choose the story you want to tell.”

Idol si ‘Sinulog idol’


Ronna Jenn Lofranco

WE avoided the thick crowd and the rains last January 12, 2012. Thus, we missed the Sinulog Idol 2012 finals. Fortunately, thanks to Sun.Star Cebu and the Sun.Star Exchange desk, we now have the chance to view the winning performance of Ronna Jenn Lofranco, the Sinulog Idol 2012.

Check this out:

This winning performance of Ronna Jenn Lofranco, a third year student of the University of San Jose Recoletos, bagged her the title ‘Sinulog Idol 2012,’ a trophy, and P15,000 cash prize.

According to Sun.Star Cebu’s report:

“Danielle May Ozaraga, a 14-year-old high school student from Looc, Danao City, was named Sinulog Idol first runner-up, while Mark Vincent Sevilla, 19, of Talisay City, finished second runner-up.

Ozaraga and Sevilla received P10,000 and P7,500, respectively.

The three made it to the finale after surviving a six-day elimination phase. Of the 12 original contestants, six made it to Thursday’s grand finals.

The six finalists, in the first round of Thursday night’s competition, performed songs that each of them finds special. Three, however, were eliminated and the remaining top three – Lofranco, Ozaraga and Sevilla – competed for the final category dubbed “Time of My Life”, which highlights songs that gave the finalists inspiration.

One of the six grand finalists, JemKeziah Keren Felicilda, 16, of Mandaue City, won the Sinulog Idol 2012 Texter’s Choice award after garnering 4,560 votes. The special award was given by Globe Telecom.

Judging the performances Thursday were Jay Unchuan, vocal coach and branch manager of the Center for Pop-Cebu; Apple Abarquez, a Pinoy Dream Academy scholar; Mark Ryan Borinaga, a Cebu journalist.”

According to Cleofe C. Albiso, Central Visayas trade marketing manager of Globe Telecom, TM has been supporting the Sinulog Idol Search for three years now in partnership with the Cebu City Government, the Sinulog Foundation Inc., Center for Pop Music Philippines, and Soundtraxx Production Studio.

The search involved seven consecutive nights of rigorous elimination for the most versatile singer. The finalists were made to perform in different genre per night from Boradway, pop, Original Pilipino Music (OPM), Visayan hits, and inspirational selections.

Those who joined the grand finals will be trained by Cebu Center for Pop Music Philippines and ultimate vocal coach of the province – Jay Unchuan.

Albiso said:

“True to Touch Mobile’s thrust of engaging the Cebuano consumers via the Sinulog 2012 Celebration and providing them with additional benefits in the form of value for money tariff like the AstigCombo 10 where a subscriber can avail of 50 sms to All Networks plus 10 minutes of calls to Globe and TM.  This year’s support is highlighted by the provision of the text voting facility and merch collaterals support, which were mounted in the different barangays and schools represented by the finalists.”

Arranging flowers for Senyor Sto. Niño


The 16thcentury Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño overflowed with thousands of devotees attending the last scheduled Friday mass last January 6, 2012.

This was the second day of the nine-day novena before the celebration of the feast of Senyor Sto. Niño (The Holy Child Jesus) and the Sinulog Festival on January 15, 2012.

“Viva Pit Senyor!”  The assembly loudly chanted as the mass ended and the swarm of church-goers headed towards the exit.

After almost an hour, the church seemed completely empty except for the staff of PRworks Inc. Observing the sanctity of the place, the group silently proceeded to the chapel housing the image of Sr. Sto. Niño, the Patron of Cebu.

No, the PRWorks staff went there not for public relations but to arrange a fresh floral decoration, a panata or panaad (vow) for several years now. It was a privilege of an exclusive evening with the image of the Holy Child inside His chapel that Friday night.

Before they had the chapel all to themselves however, they have to wait a while longer.

The PRWorkers, upon arriving at the side door of the chapel, found themselves talking in almost to a whisper because there was still a devotee inside, praying fervently on bended knees. The man, who had his surgical mask pulled down below his jaw, appeared to be crying while mouthing his supplications. Praying for some kind of a miracle? Maybe, but only God knows what the man was praying for.

When the man left, the PRWorkers had the chapel all for themselves. Along with some volunteers, they first removed the old flower decors in hush-hush tones. As the work progressed, the hush-hush atmosphere gradually dissipated and the chapel soon became resonant of activity.

PRWorks and the volunteers were dead serious and focused on their work as they are determined to get the job done as early as possible.

However, as time flew by, the activity surprisingly became enjoyable and fun with the arrival of the professional florists tapped to do the decorating. Tedious, though, the work was, it never affected the group as they exchanged jokes and funny stories while fashioning out the floral designs.

While everybody was busy, one of the PRWorks staff took time out to have a glimpse of the Sto. Niño whom he claimed was wearing a grin at that very moment. So, he decided to get his mobile and took some snapshots of the “grinning” Holy Child.

Alas, all the shots he had taken came out blurry. To test his mobile’s camera, he took a shot of his fellow PRWorker and it came out very good. So, he took some snapshots again of the Sto. Niño, this time from different angles, but lo and behold, the pictures still came out blurry.

He gave up, thinking maybe the Holy Child didn’t want His picture taken, especially with a hint of a grin on His face.

PRWorks has been sponsoring the floral decorations for the Sto. Niño every Sinulog for ten years now and the staff involved said this annual activity has become more enjoyable than tiresome.

The volunteers who helped PRWorks were Darling Cabizas, Lourdes Cabarrubias, Ivy Rose Apao, and Jennifer Melgar. Responsible for the intricate floral décor were professional flower arrangers Soccoro Cabilao, Damiana Hollero, and Larry Pantonial.

Satisfied with their achievement offered to Cebu’s Patron at dawn the next day, the group happily left looking forward to a grander fiesta and Sinulog celebration. Viva Pit Senyor!
