XSTIG: SM Cyberzone Opens at SM City Sta Rosa

Though I grew up in Laguna, I have never explored a lot of places within the first district which holds a lot of great places to visit like the first SM Supermall in the province, SM City Santa Rosa. This mall is placed in the middle of green fields and just along the national highway. I like the concept of the mall that looks like a big garden with a lot of vines and windows allowing sunlight to pass through and make it more close to nature. 

And this year, they have now upgraded the mall with another attraction that will compliment the growing digital lifestyle of the people living in the fast-changing city of Santa Rosa which is the premiere location with developments left and right providing a fast-paced lifestyle to the people in Santa Rosa and nearby places. And now, the mall opens its Cyberzone, which is a favorite place for the digital generation (like me), it provides an area to check out the latest gadgets and gizmos that will satisfy those electronic cravings.

Producers reportedly spent close to P80M for "Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles"

During the press conference of the upcoming horror film "Tiktik: The Aswang Chronicles" the producers of the film confirmed reports that they have apparently spent close to P80million for its production.  

Given the complexity of the film's effects, it is not unlikely that its total cost would reach close to the rumoured amount, explained the producers.  While the live action sequences were shot within just 28 days (still unusually longer than most local productions), the post-production stage took more than a year to complete.
