Everyone Can Play: Three Journeys, One Game-Changing Phone



Everybody has a distinct motivation for playing.  Some people play a game to decompress before the following lecture during the intermission between classes.  Others grab their phones in an attempt to relieve the tension of a long workday with a brief match.  Longtime fans jump in to relive the thrill of every competition they've ever supported, while parents pick it up to bond with their children over jokes and battles.  Then there are the just inquisitive, who, one game at a time, uncover new adventures.

Although everyone has a distinct definition of gaming, it unites us all.  It doesn't matter how skilled you are, how long you've been playing or if you've ever won a trophy.  It is about those little moments of happiness, escape, and connection.  Gaming is for everyone, from parents to students, from new adventurers to devoted fans.

Furthermore, the Infinix GT 30 has made high-performance gaming accessible to everyone, not just professionals.

Ben Maglaque, often known as Benthings, is one example.  Like so many of us, he had jobs, obligations, and squeezed in play whenever life permitted before esport.  Eventually, gaming became his platform and his getaway.

“Minsan hindi lang basta paglalaro ang mahalaga, kundi ang pagbabahagi ng laro,” (“Sometimes it’s not just about playing, it’s about sharing the play,”) ~Ben Maglaque, better known as Benthings




The GT Trigger on the GT 30 allows Ben to finally keep up with the action.  The fact that the correct tools make fantasies come true is demonstrated by the built-in console-level control, which records his highlights and maintains his streams as sharp as his games.

Alma Enario, who is well known as Nanay Gaming, started off trying to connect with her children, which is a common desire among parents.  Late-night bouts, unending laughing, and a livestreaming channel that makes families feel at home are all products of what began as curiosity.

“Walang pause button ang pagiging ina, pero ngayon nakakasabay na ako sa mga anak ko at sa mga nanonood,” (“There’s no pause button for motherhood, but now I can keep up with my children and with the crowd,”) ~Alma Enario, known to her followers as Nanay Gaming

Alma, who believes that family playtime should never be interrupted, enjoys lag-free, fluid games and extended broadcasts that don't interrupt the action thanks to the MediaTek D7400 chipset.

Then there is Icey Arcangel, a fan who used to support from the sidelines but is now married to a professional player and fully immersed in the game she has always loved.  She believes that living in the now is more important than having titles or awards.

“Kapag sobrang mahal mo ang isang bagay, nakakainis kapag hindi nakakasabay ang gamit mo. Bawat galaw, bawat sandali, gusto kong maramdaman,” (“When you’re passionate, it’s frustrating when your gear can’t keep up. Every move, every moment, I need to feel it,”) ~Icey Arcangel, a fan who once cheered from the sidelines

Every frame in Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) is incredibly fluid and crystal-clear thanks to the GT 30's 120 FPS certification, which puts her right on the battlefield.

One truth—there is no age limit, no one path, and no set role in gaming—despite various tales and motivations.  The Infinix GT 30 makes it possible whether you're playing for fun, fostering family ties, or pursuing a championship.  Everyone can play and outperform the rest thanks to the GT 30's console-level GT Triggers, powerful MediaTek D7400 chipset, and MLBB 120 FPS certification.

Experience their inspiring stories in action and check out the full video now on the official Infinix Facebook page.

Now is your chance to tell your tale, and you may win your very own Infinix GT 30.  The #MyMLBBStory allows players to reflect on their journey and commemorate the one triumph that had the greatest significance.  To share it on your Facebook timeline, simply take a snapshot of your MLBB winning moment, add a message explaining your gaming progress, and post it.  Remember to tag @InfinixPhilippines, join the official community group, and add the hashtags #MyMLBBStory, #GTStory#OutPlayTheRest, and #InfinixGT30 throughout your contribution.  The opportunity to share your experience and demonstrate how gaming has influenced your life is more than just a competition.

The Infinix GT 30 is now available with a special promo price of only P10,499 (up to 16GB RAM) via ShopeeLazada, and TikTok Shop. Available in the colors Cyber Blue, Pulse Green, Shadow Ash, and Blade White.

Pulong: Flood-control should not be used as props; check Dalipe’s projects



“If the government and independent agencies are truly serious about cleaning up flood-control projects, then they should stop using investigations as PROPS for publicity. Since you are already in Mindanao, why not check the projects of Cong. Dalipe, which I’m sure are as polished and refined as his ever-growing belly. ~Davao City Rep. Paolo “Pulong” Duterte

The eldest son of former President Rodrigo Duterte also said that investigations appear to be selective and biased, seemingly targeting only Davao City—even though it is clean and free from ghost projects—unlike other areas where anomalies have been reported.

He also criticized government agencies, including the Ombudsman, questioning why they appear eager only when it comes to Davao City, while in other places they suddenly claim to lack funds for transportation and hotel accommodations.

This was directed at former House Majority Leader and Zamboanga City Rep. Manuel Jose “Mannix” Dalipe, who failed to win in the last elections—seemingly due to lack of support from ZamboangueƱos following alleged anomalies involving flood-control and other projects, which netizens claim were substandard and ghost projects.

Netizens from Zamboanga also want the ICI (Independent Commission of Investigation) to include their former lawmaker in its probe and subject him to a “lifestyle check” to examine his luxurious lifestyle and millions worth of assets. Some netizens even branded Dalipe as “CongTractor.”

Tanduay's Embasssy Whisky: A Quiet Kind of Chill



A Quiet Kind of Chill

Having your closest confidantes by your side on calm evenings with soft music and perfectly dimmed lights has a certain allure.  No hurry, just pleasant emotions.  It's the type of energy that the appropriate spirit fits into, not loudly, but as if it were supposed to.  One company in particular, Embassy Whisky, has made an appearance throughout those times.

A quiet favorite among people who appreciate good taste without the loudness, this Tanduay beverage is smooth enough to drink neat and also great to blend in a cocktail without losing its identity.  A well-crafted pour that feels like it is a part of the evening rather than its focal point, without any extravagance or glitz.
 

Crafted with Whiskies Aged and Distilled in Scotland

Embassy is the type of whisky that you notice because it meshes so well with your rhythm, not because it calls for attention.  You can relax with just one drink.  It begins with a mildly smoky scent that is loaded with notes of wood, ripe banana, and faint peat.  Malt, oak, banana, and subtle hints of honey and vanilla are among the characteristics that emerge on the palate along with a smooth, well-balanced, and light sweet body.

“Embassy Whisky is made by blending neutral grain spirit with whisky that is distilled and aged in Scotland, bottling it at 65 Proof to achieve that light and easy-to-drink profile. The whisky blended into Embassy is made only from malt whiskies matured for at least three years in oak casks to preserve their oak-influenced character and subtle peat notes that root it in Scotch tradition. You can sip it neat to appreciate its sweet malt, banana, and vanilla notes, or try it on the rocks to mellow the sweetness and bring out more of the woody and mild peat tones. Because of its lighter body and 32.5% ABV, it also works well as a mixing whisky by pairing it with soda water or cola. For those new to whisky, starting with a simple highball (whisky and soda with ice and a citrus juice) would be an ideal way to enjoy Embassy without overwhelming the palate.” ~Janno Gironella, head of Tanduay’s Research & Development


With its relatively light body, sweet and fruity notes, and lower alcohol content at 32.5% alcohol by volume or ABV (standard ABV for whiskies is 40%), it caters to those that want an easy-drinking spirit that can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or mixed and those who are trying whisky for the first time.


A Tribute to the Quiet Strength of the Filipino
 
The kind of chill that Embassy Whisky brings is something Filipinos embody. It’s the calm confidence that comes from overcoming daily challenges, of steadfastly putting in the hard work despite the obstacles along the way, and celebrating the small wins in the company of the most genuine circle of friends.



“Embassy Whisky is crafted with the hardworking Filipino in mind — a tribute to the people who carry the weight of everyday life with quiet strength. It reflects the spirit of the Philippines: resilient, grounded, and always finding time to share moments of ease. It brings a sense of comfort and belonging. It is a whisky that welcomes you at the end of the day and makes simple moments feel more deserved.” ~Gem Leonard Boy, Brand Manager at Tanduay

Embassy Whisky is a product of Tanduay Distillers, Inc. It is available in stores nationwide and online through www.shots.ph, and its official stores on Shopee and Lazada.
