Teacher wins big at BJ Pascual's vivo V50 Masterclass


In a crowd buzzing with energy and creativity at BJ Pascual’s exclusive photography masterclass at One Ayala, one attendee walked away with more than just knowledge and inspiration. He left with a new vision, a game-changing device, and a massive 50% discount on the vivo V50.

Meet Johann Rabino, a passionate educator and school paper mentor whose dedication to storytelling has always gone beyond the classroom walls.

A proud vivo user for nearly five years, Johann’s eyes lit up when his name was called for the exclusive 50% V50 discount. It was a reward, he says, that felt like destiny.

A Portrait of Loyalty

Johann, a school paper adviser and photography hobbyist, has been a vivo loyalist for years. When asked what made him stay with the brand, his answer was simple yet powerful: consistency and reliability.

“Yung battery life, yung app na hindi nagla-lag, consistent talaga. As a teacher, kailangan ko ng phone na hindi ako bibiguin. Kaya dito ako nag-stay,” he shared.

His active engagement on vivo's Facebook page showcased not only his loyalty but also his creative flair. That thoughtful entry helped secure his spot as the exclusive 50% discount winner. It was a testament to how vivo celebrates and uplifts its passionate community.

Known in his school as the go-to guy for event photos, Johann’s love for photography goes beyond hobby. It’s a tool for connection, creativity, and education. He regularly contributes to his school’s publication, seamlessly blending visuals with compelling narratives.

“Sabi nga nila, ako lagi ang tinatawag pag may pictorial. I combine photography and writing para mas impactful. Kaya sobrang meaningful ng experience na ‘to.”

Attending BJ Pascual’s masterclass reignited Johann’s passion for photography, especially when he discovered the advanced bokeh capabilities of the vivo V50.



"Akala ko dati isang type lang ng bokeh. Pero ngayon ko lang nalaman na ang dami palang variations. Ang daming possibilities. Nakaka-inspire,” he said beaming.

He was especially struck by the idea that what once required bulky, expensive camera gear is now possible with a phone. “Yung ZEISS lenses, mahal talaga 'yun. Yung B-Speed, nasa Php 200,000 pataas. Pero andito na lahat sa vivo V50. Wala ka nang kailangan dalhin na mabigat. Kaya sobrang amazed talaga ako.”

Now, Johann plans to pass on this new knowledge to his students by making them a subject and having mini-lessons, encouraging them to explore storytelling through the lens of mobile photogrTeacher wins big at BJ Pascual's vivo V50 Masterclassaphy.

Shoot like a pro: BJ Pascual's vivo V50 Masterclass

 


To mark a decade of innovation, vivo hosted an exclusive and interactive Photography Masterclass led by renowned celebrity and fashion photographer BJ Pascual at the vivo store in One Ayala, and streamed live on vivo Philippines’ official Facebook page on July 12, 2025.

The event brought together loyal vivo fans and photography enthusiasts to learn how to shoot like a pro using the vivo V50, the brand’s latest V Series innovation featuring a 50MP ZEISS All Main Camera.

Hosted by the ever-stunning Nicole Cordoves, the masterclass kicked off with energy and excitement as she introduced BJ Pascual and the impressive capabilities of the vivo V50.


A Creative Spark: BJ Pascual’s Journey Into Photography

Before he became one of the most celebrated celebrity fashion photographers in the country, known for working with A-list stars and gracing the pages of top magazines, BJ Pascual was simply a young creative with an eye for storytelling and a drive to make things happen.

His journey into photography began much earlier than college. He first picked up an SLR camera as a personal hobby, experimenting with shots long before stepping into any formal art or design setting. 

BJ spent his early years crafting, managing a fan blog for Christina Aguilera, practicing graphic design, and even designing the official shirt for his batch at DLSU. Creativity was his comfort zone, and he poured himself into every detail of it.

Without any connections in the fashion or media industries, BJ knew he had to build his own path. His first big step came when his photos were featured in their school magazine.

That recognition became a turning point. It introduced his work to a wider audience and showed him that his passion had the power to open doors.

What started as a hobby eventually became a career. From crafting at home to being featured in school publications, those early moments laid the groundwork for what would become an incredible journey behind the lens.


Learning from the Photography Master 

The event wasn’t just a talk. It was a full-on creative deep dive with BJ Pascual himself. Armed with the vivo V50 co-engineered with ZEISS, BJ let his viewers in on how he captures magazine-worthy portraits, fashion shots, and beauty closeups straight from his mobile phone. 

Nicole herself modeled throughout the masterclass, showing first-hand how powerful mobile photography can be with the device’s advanced ZEISS lenses and portrait technology.


  1. Basic Photography Using Portrait Mode

BJ kicked things off with the foundation of it all: lighting, composition, and framing. He explained how portrait mode enhances depth and focus, especially when paired with good lighting.

Taken using Portrait Mode

Tip from BJ: Want that long-legged, runway-ready illusion? Keep the subject’s face in the center of your grid. It gives the legs and background more space to stretch—hello, editorial realness.

He also explained how distortion can be used intentionally to shape the subject and make photos more dynamic, especially for storytelling.


  1. Fashion Photography Using ZEISS Multifocal Portrait Mode

Next was a deep dive into lens play. BJ introduced the ZEISS Multifocal Portrait Mode, showing how you can switch from:



23mm

35mm

50mm

The rule? The lower the number, the wider the background. And yes—it’s all in your pocket.

Tip from BJ: Use focal length like a styling tool. Wide for drama, tight for intimacy. Choose what story you want to tell with the frame.


  1. Beauty Shots Using ZEISS Style Bokeh & AI Aura Light 2.0

To close the masterclass, BJ dove into one of the most exciting features of the vivo V50 — the ZEISS Style Bokeh Effects and AI Aura Light Portrait 2.0.

Using just the phone, he recreated what would normally require a full photography setup: glowing, cinematic beauty portraits that could easily pass for magazine editorials. And the best part? No bulky lenses needed.

BJ highlighted his top three ZEISS bokeh styles built into the vivo V50 — each one simulating lenses that would otherwise cost tens to hundreds of thousands:

  • Biotar – Known for its signature swirl that wraps light around the subject, creating a dreamy and artistic effect. (Estimated lens cost: Php 23,000)

  • B-Speed – Offers a subtle motion blur with curved, triangular highlights that bring life and movement to a portrait. (Estimated lens cost: Php 219,000)

  • Distagon – Inspired by ZEISS’ famous “Hollywood lens,” it delivers smooth, creamy background blur with distinctive hexagonal light effects. (Estimated lens cost: Php 83,000)

 Distagon 

Tip from BJ: Use different bokeh styles to express different moods — soft swirls for a romantic feel, cinematic motion for dynamic glam, and clean blur for timeless elegance.

BJ shared how impressed he was that these effects, once only achievable with bulky prime lenses, are now available in one device. With the vivo V50, he could achieve the same level of detail, emotion, and artistry he’d typically create in a full studio setup right from his pocket.

And of course, he wrapped it all up with a reminder that resonated: “Start with vision.” Because at the heart of every great photo isn't just technique, it’s the intent to how you tell a story

The vivo V50 is currently available with a Php 2,000 discount as part of vivo’s 10th anniversary celebration.

A First Look: vivo Watch GT, your next style statement


If you're all about chasing goals, breaking limits, and keeping it stylish while doing so, the vivo Watch GT is made just for you.

Following the success of the round-faced vivo Watch 3, which made waves in 2024, vivo is now introducing its first-ever square smartwatch. The vivo Watch GT is built for active lifestyles, designed with smart aesthetics, and optimized for those living within the vivo ecosystem.


New face of innovation

Switching from round to square, the vivo Watch GT offers a larger, more intuitive display, perfect for quick glances during workouts or while on the go. Paired with removable leather or rubber straps, the watch seamlessly transitions from sweat sessions to social settings.





Its matte aluminum alloy frame gives the watch a refined texture while the glossy curved edges add just the right touch of shine. At its core is a stainless steel digital crown, inspired by high-end timepieces like Rolex. 


Crisp visuals with every glance

The vivo Watch GT features a vibrant 1.85-inch HD AMOLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate and 390 × 450 resolution. The 2.5D curved glass and borderless design give it an ultra-smooth look that’s both modern and elegant. Everything looks crisp and vibrant, whether you're checking your heart rate, skimming through notifications, or changing tracks mid-run, even under sunlight.

When you're winding down, the Watch GT still keeps you connected. Thanks to its Always-On Display, essential info remains visible with minimal power usage. You can also make the smartwatch your own with custom watch faces, easily switching up the look to match your outfit, mood, or workout energy

Two shades to choose from






vivo will release two color variants of the Watch GT. Choose Summer Black for a dark, aesthetic edge with a black rubber strap, or go for Cloud White, which pairs a light-toned body with a sleek white leather band for a clean, elegant look. Both offer personality, flexibility, and comfort for all-day wear.


The vivo Watch GT will launch on July 18, 2025, and it’s going to be one of the most exciting wearables to hit the local market. It's a bold follow-up to the beloved vivo Watch 3 and a fresh take on what a smartwatch should be: stylish, health-focused, and built to keep up with every part of your day.

Compact flagship vivo X200 FE to land in Philippines





The vivo X200 FE is officially landing in the Philippines on July 18, bringing with it a powerful new take on the flagship experience - compact in size, bold in style, and designed to keep up with your everyday rhythm.

Built for a new generation of self-starters, creators, and go-getters, the vivo X200 FE delivers high-end features in a sleek and portable form factor. It’s the smartphone that proves you don’t have to go big to go far.


Compact size, maximum impact

One look and you’ll know the vivo X200 FE isn’t your average smartphone. It features a 6.31-inch flat screen, a slim 7.99mm profile, 71.76mm width, and weighs only 186g, perfectly built for one-handed use.

Inside, precision-stacked components give the phone a 1:1 balanced weight distribution, ensuring it feels just right in your hand. Even its minimalist rear camera design takes up only 9% of the back, keeping the look clean and the grip seamless.

Inspired by the modern “squircle” shape, a harmony of square and circle, the phone blends strength with softness, giving it a refined and confident feel. The Rhythm Eye camera design adds a subtle visual signature while enhancing comfort during use.

Finished with Metallic Sand Anti-Glare coating, the texture is about 40% smoother than traditional AG surfaces, delivering a tactile experience that feels as premium as it looks.


Bold colors that reflect you

Available in Blue Breeze and Black Luxe, the vivo X200 FE offers two stylish options to express your personality.

Blue Breeze captures clarity, creativity, and calm, making it perfect for those with a free-spirited edge. Black Luxe, on the other hand, radiates timeless elegance and quiet strength that is made for professionals and minimalists alike.


Built to go wherever life takes you

Despite its delicate frame, the vivo X200 FE is tougher than it looks. With a structural frame made from aerospace-grade aluminum, it offers superior drop resistance while maintaining a lightweight feel.

It’s also IP68 and IP69 certified for dust and water resistance, meaning it can handle everyday spills, sudden rain, and rugged conditions with ease. Add in SGS Triple Protection Certification and Military-grade durability, and you’ve got a compact device ready for big adventures.


While most flagships are powerful but heavy, vivo answers today’s demand for lighter, more flexible lifestyles with a device that’s easy to carry with one hand, yet powerful in every way.

Mark your calendars! This compact powerhouse officially lands in the Philippines on July 18, 2025. Stay tuned on vivo Philippines' website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X to be updated on the launch of the most-awaited X200 FE.
