Samsung Brings Innovation Closer: A07 and A17 Dealer Roadshow Held in Cebu
October 8–9, 2025 | Asmara Urban Resort & Lifestyle Village, Cebu City

Samsung Philippines continues to strengthen its partnership with key subdealers in the Visayas region through the successful Samsung Galaxy A07 and A17 Dealer Roadshow, held on October 8 and 9, 2025, at Asmara Urban Resort & Lifestyle Village in Cebu City.

The two-day event served as an exclusive showcase of Samsung’s newest additions to its best-selling Galaxy A Series — the Galaxy A07 and Galaxy A17 — highlighting the brand’s commitment to delivering innovation, style, and performance at accessible price points.

Dealers and partners from across Cebu and nearby provinces were given firsthand experience of the devices’ upgraded features, including enhanced cameras, improved battery life, and sleek designs that reflect Samsung’s continued dedication to empowering every generation of users.

The roadshow also included product demos, interactive sessions, and marketing workshops designed to help dealers better understand the value proposition of the A07 and A17 models, equipping them with the tools to engage customers effectively this holiday season.

Samsung representatives expressed gratitude for the strong support of their Cebu dealer network, emphasizing the region’s growing role as a key market in the company’s nationwide growth strategy.

“Cebu remains a vital hub for Samsung. This roadshow is our way of reconnecting with our partners and reaffirming our shared mission to bring innovation closer to every Filipino,” said Chi Tuazon, Product Manager, A Series of Samsung Philippines.

The event concluded with raffle prizes celebrating continued partnership between Samsung and its Visayas-based retail partners — setting the tone for a stronger, tech-forward end to 2025.

🏙️ 𝙎𝙊𝙐𝙏𝙃 𝘾𝙀𝘽𝙐 𝘾𝙄𝙏𝙔 𝙄𝙎 𝙍𝙄𝙎𝙄𝙉𝙂!

The Guadalupe River, which runs through the heart of Cebu City, serves as a natural divider between the city’s North and South Districts. For a long time, development has been largely concentrated in the north, while the southern side seemed to lag behind.

But things are changing, and changing fast. The South District is now catching up, with major growth corridors emerging along V. Rama Avenue and R. Duterte Street. Once quiet residential zones, these areas are transforming into bustling urban hubs.

Landmarks such as Paseo Arcenas, skyline altering developments like Kalea by DMCI, and the sprawling Monterrazas project have set the tone for a wave of modern development in the south.

New condominiums, commercial spaces, and mixed-use communities are rising, attracting both investors and homebuyers.

Adding to the area’s appeal is the booming food and dining scene. Trendy cafés, bars, and restaurants are sprouting up, making Banawa and Guadalupe favorite nighttime destinations.

With this momentum, Banawa is fast emerging as the southern counterpart of Banilad, signaling a new chapter in Cebu City’s balanced urban growth.

𝘽𝙊𝙂𝙊 𝘾𝙄𝙏𝙔: 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙔 𝘽𝙀𝙃𝙄𝙉𝘿 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙉𝘼𝙈𝙀

The name Bogo did not come from the Cebuano word meaning stupid.

It came from a tree, the bogo tree (Garuda Floribunda), that once stood proudly by the shore where the Bogo Wharf now lies.

Under its wide and welcoming shade, natives and traders from nearby islands would meet, barter goods, and share stories. Over time, that humble spot became a small trading hub, where commerce and camaraderie flourished beneath the branches of a single tree.

Some of those traders eventually settled, married locals, and made the place their home. By the early 1600s, a small settlement was founded in the area now known as Bogo Central Extension.

It was once part of DaanBantayan, until it was finally recognized as a separate town around 1850, the Town of Bogo.

In 2007, it became a component city together with Carcar City, Cebu and City of Naga, Cebu

Recently, the city was struck by a strong earthquake, shaking its buildings but not its spirit. For the people of Bogo, their name, and their history, remind them who they are.

They are not defined by weakness, but by the Bogo Tree that gave them their name: rooted, enduring, and resilient.

From that single tree by the shore grew a city of strength and hope, a city that, no matter how shaken, will always stand tall again. 🌳

Padayon Bogo City!

When the Bank of the Philippine Islands opened its first Cebu branch in 1924 along Calle Norte América (now D. Jakosalem Street), it brought formal banking to the Visayas for the very first time. Traders, sugar planters, and families finally had a place to keep their hard-earned savings — marking the start of modern finance in Cebu.

By 1941, the bank moved to its new home at the corner of Magallanes and Burgos Streets, where it still stands today, the oldest bank in Cebu, now declared an Important Cultural Property.

For a hundred years, these walls have witnessed Cebu’s growth, from a quiet trading town to the bustling Queen City of the South. 💼✨

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: The key difference between a 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 and a 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲 lies in their forecast period, coverage areas, and accuracy. A 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 provides forecasts for the next three hours and applies up to the municipal level. It is more precise as it utilizes Doppler radar technology to track real-time rainfall intensity, making it highly effective for immediate decision-making in flood-prone areas. A 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲, on the other hand, covers a 24-hour period but is issued only at the provincial level. It provides a broader outlook on potential weather disturbances but lacks the short-term accuracy of 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬. For class suspensions or other official decisions, please refer to 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 issued by the respective PAGASA Regional Services Divisions.

Barely 100 days into his term, Cebu City’s mayor is already seeing the fruits, literally, of one of his pet projects: the Greenhouse, located right in front of Cebu City Hall.

The greenhouse is now thriving, producing fresh lettuce varieties and cucumbers, proof that urban farming can truly flourish even in the heart of the city.

It’s a living example that you don’t need a wide farmland to grow your own food. Whether you live in a condominium or have only a small pot at home, you can still plant, nurture, and harvest.

The message is simple: food security can start right where you are. 🌿
