Asian Tours and New BlackBerry Smartphones
Fun Prizes for "Fun in the Sun" Video Contest Winners
It's always fun when you're under the Sun! This has been proven true by three barkadas who were declared winners in the recently held "Fun in the Sun Video Contest," wherein the public was challenged to make their own music video using Sun Cellular's jingle "We Can Do Anything." Their entries were judged as the three best videos uploaded online. Sun Keeps Their Friendship Alive and Fun! Writers Krizelle Ching and Carla Baful, freelance production staff Randolph Longjas and segment producer Ma. Veronica Guingon comprised the group who won first prize. "We learned about the promo through our UP Pep Squad friends," they said. "Fun and simple, while conveying a coherent message," this was how they wanted their video to be. Having been friends for years, their entry was about friendship in a fun and light way and showed how significant and convenient it is to use a BlackBerry smartphone. It also showed Sun Cellular keeping the group company in whatever they do and wherever they go. Indeed, Sun is their dependable communication partner.
Since they all love to travel, Krizelle, Carla, Randolph and Veronica were ecstatic over their prize - a three-day/two-night trip to Singapore complete with accommodations and breakfast in Marina Bay Sands, round-trip airfare via Philippine Airlines (PAL), round-trip airport transfer, a full-day Universal Studios Tour, a city tour with Singapore Flyer and US$100 per person per day of the trip. What's more, they each received a BlackBerry® Curve™ 9320!
Animation Is Fun!
I.T. specialist Paul Julius Sy's group, who learned about the promo from Facebook, won the second prize. They each received a BlackBerry® Curve™ 9220 and won a trip to Hong Kong complete with a three-day/two-night accommodations with breakfast at the Marco Polo Hong Kong Hotel, round-trip airfare via PAL, round-trip airport transfer, a full-day Hong Kong Disneyland Tour and city tour, and US$ 100 per person per day of the trip.
"We did animations and green screen editing. I think creativity was the main reason why we were chosen as one of the winners," Paul shared. Through Sun's value added unlimited services like calls and texts and unlimited access to social networking, Paul said they were able to come up with a beautiful video effectively and seamlessly. In conceptualizing the video, he was inspired by his own online youth organization called EDGE Republic that helps members who aspire to excel in their own fields like modelling, dancing and singing. Surprise Under The Sun! The group comprised of SAP technology consultants was declared third placer. Their prizes included a trip to Bangkok packed with three-day/two-night accommodations with breakfast in Lebua at State Tower, round-trip airfare via PAL, round-trip airport transfer, Bangkok city tour, plus US$100 per person per day of the trip. To complete the treat, members were given a BlackBerry® Curve™ 8520 each.
Composed of Jamie Anne Marie Espadilla, Patricia Marie Avila, Margaret Molina and Ysabel Ortiz, the team's entry showed a girl being thrown a surprise birthday party by friends. Dubbed "Surprise under the Sun," the video had a good mix of reality and fun story-telling while showcasing the unlimited features that make a BlackBerry and Sun Cellular the phone-telecom combination to beat.
Learning about the video contest from an ad screen at a building lobby, Jamie and her team were happy to be one of the winners, as a Thailand trip together was a dream come true for them. "We've been wanting to go to Thailand together for ages," shared Jamie, "so we thought we'd give it a shot."
