Vivo’s young stars gathered at the luxurious V11 launch

The country’s young and brightest stars aligned and came down to a once-in-blue-moon gathering to support the launch of the Vivo V11 at the Shangri-La at The Fort on September 11, adding more glitz to the brand’s most stellar night of the year.

Vivo’s roster of talents was led by blockbuster actor Daniel Padilla. He was joined by fellow stars Maymay Entrata, Edward Barber, Barbie Forteza, Kisses Delavin, Iñigo Pascual, Julie Anne San Jose, Loisa Andalio, McCoy de Leon, Elisse Joson, Vern Enciso, Verniece Enciso, Maris Racal, Darren Espanto, Ashley Rivera, Kira Balinger, Chienna Filomeno, and KZ Tandingan.

The night’s entertainers, Julie Anne and KZ, show off the beauty of the Vivo V11 in their social media pages.

The launch was kicked off by Julie Anne, also known as the Asia’s Pop Sweetheart, with her powerful medley of Jennifer Lopez songs that pumped up the mood of the guests. KZ, the Soul Supreme, then closed the grand launch with a mini-concert that highlighted her vocal prowess and engaging performance.

Squad goals: A Vivo event is never complete without the signature selfie featuring its endorsers!

The Vivo endorsers, of course, would not let the night end without their traditional selfie with Ms. Annie Lim, the Vice President for PR and Strategy Partnerships, and Ms. Hazel Bascon, the Vice President for Sales. The selfie was taken by Darren who made sure that the Vivo endorsers and executives fit the frame. He used the Vivo V11 that features a 25-megapixel AI selfie camera that produce more vivid and vibrant photos.

The program was co-hosted by Myx VJ Iñigo—along with fellow Myx VJ Ai dela Cruz—who shared the responsibility of making sure the launch stayed the course as planned. Iñigo took on the gargantuan task of hosting the launch although he was a few days away from releasing a new song and a music video.

The Enciso sisters are not only fashionable; they are also techy with their Vivo V11.

Fashion vloggers Vern and Verniece, meanwhile, guided the guests visiting the Vivo V11 Experience Area after the star-studded main event launch.

Maris and Loisa are as beautiful as the Vivo V11 in Starry Night and Nebula colors.

Maris and Loisa also shared their talent at the launch and sang for Vivo’s partners. Maris showed off a jazzy vibe with her rendition of “Don’t Know Why,” while Loisa charmed with her sweet cover of “Starving.” The partners who were at the event were Google, Twitter, Globe, Smart, Lazada, Shopee, Akulaku, Spotify, Innity, Robinsons Malls, Ayala Malls, SM Supermalls, Under Armour, Home Credit, Cyberzone Group, Vivo Club Ambassadors, and Vivo Fans.

Daniel, the blockbuster actor, took some time off from his busy schedule to throw his support to Vivo.

One of the highlights of the V11 night was the press conference of the endorsers where they got to share why they love the latest Vivo smartphone. Daniel could not even stop himself from gushing over the V11, especially its In-Display Fingerprint Scanner.

“Who here has watched sci-fi films that showed the use of fingerprint scanning technology to unlock the smartphone? Twenty years ago, we can only watch these on films… Who would imagine that today, tonight we can do the things that we’ve seen only on films? The Vivo V11 is the future,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino.

Daniel also praised Vivo V11 for its 3400mAh with Dual-Engine Fast Charging and its Qualcomm Snapdragon 660AIE Octa-core processor that improve performance for gamers like him.

“This smartphone is not a joke. It is really super high-tech,” he said.

The blockbuster actor also entertained the Vivo dealers with his suave rendition of “Fly Me to The Moon.”

KZ performs for the first time after Singer 2018 with TJ Monterde at Vivo V9 Mall Tour

KZ Tandingan became known internationally when she joined Singer 2018, a singing competition on China's top-rating show. During her initial appearance as a challenger, she beat UK singer Jessie J, who is also a competitor in the show, for the number one spot in the challenger round. She earned new fans with her powerful performances during her stint. Although she did not make it to the finals, KZ made a mark with the Chinese audience, cementing her title as Asia’s Soul Supreme. 

Now back in the Philippines, KZ performed for her fans at the SM Mall of Asia on April 22, Sunday, to support the launch of Vivo’s newest flagship smartphone, the V9 with a 24-megapixel AI selfie camera and more. It was her first public performance in the Philippines following her appearance on Singer 2018. 

As the crowd roared in welcome, KZ belted out her signature hits like her cover of Lorde’s “Royals,” which she performed on Singer 2018, and Air Supply’s “Two Less Lonely People in the World.” She also sang her original songs, “Labo” and “Mahal Ko o Mahal Ako.”

someone as talented as her is part of the Vivo family,” she said. 

“We can’t wait to see what she’s going to do next,” Lim added. 

TJ thrilled fans at SM Mall of Asia on April 22, Sunday, with his melodious, captivating hits. 

The event was even made more special since acoustic balladeer TJ Monterde, KZ’s equally talented boyfriend and fellow Vivo endorser, performed for the event. He sang his own compositions, “Tulad Mo,” “Kahit Kunwari,” and “Ikaw at Ako.” 

TJ also had nothing but praises for her girlfriend as she introduced her on stage and encouraged the mallgoers to cheer KZ on.

“KZ deserves a loud crowd,” he said.

Love birds do make great harmony. 

After the pair answered questions from the press and gave away a brand new Vivo V9, they sang their hit duet, “Ikaw at Ako Pa Rin,” which made their fans overjoyed with kilig. 

KZ and TJ then went around the Perfect Shot, Perfect View Vivo V9 mall tour experience booths and greeted Vivo V9 buyers and their fans after the program. The two also surprised mallgoers when they dropped by the Vivo kiosk at the SM Cyberzone.

KZ has been a proud Vivo endorser since September 2017. She has also been active in joining Vivo in its mall tours and activities since then. TJ, on the other hand, became a Vivo endorser since May 2017.
