The Advocate of Original Products!

Just this Wednesday morning, I accidentally attended a special event in Trinoma Mall. The event was brought by the largest IT company HP (Hewlett-Packard) and BSP (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas) which aims to fight fake products.

The event is called "No to Fake!" There were special booths wherein they give trivia about Philippine money, tells about the history of money, features visual effects showing the real peso bill, let us exchange our old or defective HP printers for the new ones, and let us exchange old peso bill for the new one.

And the thing I love most in the said event is that they gave us a free pictorial for a magazine cover! And the magazine is printed in a glossy paper using a hi-tech colored HP printer. It's free! So I took the opportunity! Hehehe...!!! On my next post, I will let you see how the magazine cover looks like!

While waiting for my magazine cover printout, I roam around the different booths to take pictures. Here are some:

Aside from these, the event gave us a short program, a talk show featuring four of the hottest celebrities. They were the singer Tessa Nieto-Valdez, the celebrity mom Pia Magallona, the advocate Bam Aquino, a stylish blogger, and the singer/actor Elmo Magallona!

Yes, I took pictures with Tessa, Pia, and Elmo! And I will share with you those pictures in my succeeding posts! Exciting!

Elmo Magallona even sung a song for us. Afterwards he graced interview together with his mom. The event was concluded by a live band Imago who performed music for us while we were waiting for our magazine cover printouts!

On my next posts, I will share with you more pictures taken during the event! c",)

The New Philippine Peso Bill Designs!

The Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas (BSP) already launched the new designs of our Philippine Peso bills. And it was already signed and approved by President Noynoy Aquino.

Do you already see these brand new looks of our Philippine peso bills?! Or do you already owned one of them?! Well if not yet, I will share with you all of them! Are you ready?

Ladies and gentlemen, here are our brand new looks of our Philippine Peso bills:

The New Php20.00

The New Php50.00

The New Php100.00

The New Php200.00

The New Php500.00

The New Php1,000.00

What can you say about our new money?! Do you like their new designs?!

Actually the six Philippine bill denominations namely the Php20, Php50, Php100, Php200, Php500, and the Php1,000 were all have new designs. The different heroes who represented each money were still in their corresponding bills. The main different that we can notice in these new moneys is the appearance of the heroes. Yup, they all looks younger!

In Php500 bill, the 'Mother of Democracy' Mrs. Corazon Aquino finally joins her better-half Sen. Benigno 'Ninoy' Aquino. They two truly gave one of the biggest contributions in the history of the Philippines! So in this particular peso bill, their good deeds were being appreciated!

Aside from the new appearance, another distinguishing characteristic of these new moneys is the tiny replica of the heroes in their upper left corner. According to the reports, these new designs were more secured and more protected. They cannot also be easily destroyed! And at the back side of these new bills, new designs showing different Philippine scenes and cultures were featured!

What more can you say about our new Philippine peso bills?! Do you like them better than our previous designs?!

It said that these new bills will be launched this 2011. Our previous bills were gradually phasing out!

Like many of us, I didn't yet owned any of these. So like you, I'm also excited to grab one! One of my officemates already got the new Php20 bill. And he didn't use it. Rather he displays it in his workstation! c",)
