Sprinto at WU! Fest

The Sprinto booth at the WU! Fest (file photo)

WU! Manila, a new magazine in town, has officially launched its brand through WU! Fest 2013. As what they always say, whether you're fresh off the plane or a balikbayan rediscovering your beloved birthplace, WU! is here to help you find out Whats Up in Manila. Or should we say, what's awesome about Manila! And that's what they did! They've promoted anything and everything awesome about Manila through remarkable entertainment such as the bamboo bike display, yummy food--not necessarily all Filipino but the hospitality made all the difference, and live music from talented Filipino underground artists.

And speaking of awesomeness, a booth in the said fest that caught everyone's attention was the Sprinto booth that sold awesome collection of shades. The standouts would be their Manila and Tokyo models and a new model with wood temple called Shenzhen.

Sprinto is fast gaining popularity in the Philippines because of its stylish yet functional collection of shades through its iDefine polarized lens and iShock polycarbonate lens features. According to its marketing director, Pawlo Misolas. “We believe that shades should be fashionable, protective and affordable and I think that we’ve got the right balance of all three.”

He also adds that the mid-range shades segment is good for fashion.

“The fashion awareness for sunglasses in the Philippines is on the rise.  It used to be you bought one pair of expensive glasses and that was it. I think consumers are becoming smarter nowadays.”

“If you can buy a quality pair of shades that’s fashionable at half the price, that allows you to open up to more options. It just makes fashion sense.”

So just like WU's objective of finding something awesome, Sprinto is definitely one fashion find in the Philippines that you can't afford to miss!

Presently, Sprinto shades are available in major fashion hubs such as Manila, Dubai, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Watch out for more Sprinto international hubs nearest you.

Never Think Twice!

Street Partying at WU! Fest

Since it's located at the Makati City Proper (just near the city's Central Business District), I had a hard time finding A. Venue Mall. But when I made the touchdown. It's party time!

I was at the WU! Fest organized by What's Up! Manila Magazine at the said mall's open parking lot. Over 50 food, booze, and entertainment booths were opened, and the place became a site for a late summer luau party.

First off, I looked at the different shades made available by Sprinto.

Also, I paid a visit to the foosball (or simply table soccer) booth by Table Soccer PH, a group of table soccer enthusiasts who wants to unleash the inner Azkal in us.

Where should I place the Sporty Guy logo here?

Well, since I once played real soccer (the most recent was in 2010), I gave table soccer a try.

"Beat me, man!" Ross Del Rosario

But I just can't beat these guys. So after a series of heartbreaking defeats, here's me...

AWTSU!!!! T_T

Well, I found a kid who wanted to play table soccer. I challenged her and walloped her 22 straight times. So I still got the prize after all, a bottle of wine courtesy of Brut Cava.

"Yuck! Bata lang ka-match mo! Babae pa! Eeeww!" Oo na!
Weak na ako! At least may wine ako! :P

Also, there was a booth by Mojo Boost where all a participant needed was to get a mini pillow into the hole thrice to win a major prize.

There's also a tattoo booth where everyone can have his skin printed with beautiful designs.

Everyone also jived to the live music being played at the main stage.

Do you think it's a cool site to put the watermark in?

Harley-Davidson Philippines also came and brought in one of its bikes to the WU! Fest!

All hail Harley D!

Finally, a special shoutout to the one who made it possible for us to get into the WU! Fest: WazzUp Pilipinas!

Getting to the WU! Fest would not be possible without the help of WazzUp
Pilipinas. Ross Del Rosario

If you missed the fun, there's always another time to join the groove. See you next year!

PS: Since I rushed this thing up, I wasn't able to put the Sporty Guy watermark in the other pictures. But except for the two photos from Ross (me playing table soccer and me holding the WazzUp Pilipinas logo), all the photos taken are from yours truly.
