High Tech & High Style

The leader in mobile technology aims to conquer today’s texter generation by starting an innovation revolution, dahlings. Called the Motorevolution, it was presented at an invitational affair at the Mandarin Oriental’s Captain’s Bar, which was decked in black and silver.

"Our revolution is a technological innovation in telecommunications that is meant to complement the highly mobile and active lifestyle,"says William Tan, Motorola country manager for both the Philippines and Singapore. The event presented Motorola’s newest phones: the hip T190, triband V66 and the ultra-cool swing-blade V70.

Guests from the telecom industry led by dotc consultant Richard Young joined friends like Patricia Arches of McCann, O&M’s Lyda Santiago, Eena Kanapi, Mon Samarista, bmg’s Rudy Tee and Narciso Chan, Rose Bacani and Faith Abaño and media folk like The STAR’s Grace Glory Go and Lucien Dy-Tioco, Grace & Lito Mendoza, Randy Urlanda. Event host John Lapus did a wild take on Game Ka Na Ba? where contestants had to pick the right answers about Motorola’s new phones, with the winner taking home a new T190. Lucky, dahlings!
