As
today’s banking consumers shift to digital, RCBC wants Filipinos to
make wise and careful choices in their transactions. While going
online makes everyday activities easier and convenient, it also
exposes accounts to risks which is why it is always important to take
precautions to protect one’s personal information.
To
remind everyone to be proactive in securing their bank accounts, the
Yuchengco-led bank introduces a team of safety-savvy individuals, The
Unstealables, to show the importance of keeping financial data secure
both online and offline. With this unique trio, RCBC highlights the
responsibility it shares with clients in keeping the integrity of
their accounts by giving simple tips and smart practices.
Tasked
with helping RCBC in educating Filipinos to be responsible and
informed banking customers, The Unstealables includes:
Brad
the traditional banker
Accessing
financial services online might be the answer for some millennials
these days but for Brad, nothing beats going to the bank’s branch
for a personal transaction. LikeBrad, you can keep your data
protected and track your money by constantly keeping bank transaction
slips as proof of your activity. You should also be vigilant and
avoid communicating with tellers outside the bank as they may only be
phishing for account information. Remember that RCBC will never ask
for your password, PIN security, and address over the phone or
online.
Mo,
the digital-savvy millennial
Mo
is a tech-smart individual but as much as he likes to use his
smartphone or laptop for transactions, he values branch-level
security even when banking on-the-go. Like Mo, you should go online
to check your account activity to track any unauthorized
transactions. You can easily view your statement of account when you
visit www.rcbconlinebanking.com
and enroll your account. You should also be wary in sharing any
financial achievements, such as posting a selfie with your newly
approved credit card, to avoid fraud and identity theft.
Olivia,
the avid online shopper
With
the holidays fast-approaching, avid shoppers like Olivia are excited
to go on a shopping spree with their debit or credit cards. When
shopping online, she makes it a habit to check the online store’s
URL to know whether it is trustworthy or not. If the URL is “https”
and not “http”, then you are safe from scams and even computer
viruses. When inputting your bank details to checkout, RCBC also
gives you added security by sending a One-Time-Pin to your messages
for every online transaction to ensure that you are the one making
the purchase.
Together
with The Unstealables, RCBC assures its banking clients that they are
secured by constantly giving news and updates on their safety
measures. The commercial bank believes that every Filipino has the
right to reliable, accessible, and affordable financial products and
services and will continue to safeguard the trust that consumers have
placed on them.

| The OPPO R17 Pro features a beautiful, sleek design with uniquely blue and purple gradient colors, adhering to OPPO’s brand philosophy of combining artistic design and innovative technology, and empowering Filipinos to “seize the night, seize the moment”. |
MANILA, November 7, 2018 – Leading smartphone brand OPPO today announced the launch of the R17 Pro in the Philippines. The R17 Pro shows the latest fusion of unique gradient design and technology innovations, demonstrating OPPO’s leadership in the smartphone industry and fulfilling OPPO’s commitment on empowering Filipinos with the best smartphones.

R17 Pro signifies OPPO’s transformation of fully expanding in the high-end smartphone market. With its theme ‘Seize the Night’, the R17 Pro aims to bring new technological power and possibilities to the aspirational and energetic community,” said Jane Wan, OPPO Philippines’ VP for Marketing. “With the launch of R Series adding to our product portfolio, we look forward to bringing OPPO’s technology for more consumers to enjoy.”

OPPO unveils the revolutionary R17 Pro to the Philippine market, signifying the brand’s transformation and commitment to strengthen and diversify the high-end smartphone industry. Present at the official launch event are (L-R): OPPO Philippines VP for National Sales Liem Gui; OPPO Philippines VP for Marketing Jane Wan; OPPO Philippines CEO James Ma; OPPO Philippines VP for Channel Sales Zen Han; and Product Expert Daniel Lardizabal.
Leading industrial design
with gradient colors
As the pathfinder of
smartphone gradient design, OPPO always adheres to its design
philosophy, and continuously creates stunning gradient colors for
consumers, using its fashionable aesthetics and advanced
craftsmanship. OPPO now makes gradient a "basic" for
smartphone design.
The R17 Pro invented a
brand-new "three-color and bi/quad-direction" gradient
design. Through adding a light-condensing layer, the R17 Pro’s
misted glass casing allows light to flow on the surface of the
device, demonstrating leading color aesthetics and innovation.
Powered by innovative
technologies for a seamless experience
The R17 Pro adopts Corning®
Gorilla® Glass 6 for the first time, with 6.4 inches of screen,
91.5% screen-to-body ratio, and in-screen fingerprint unlock. The
Corning® Gorilla® Glass 6 is able to withstand a drop from a
one-meter height to a rough surface for an average 15 times, doubled
that of the Gorilla Glass 5 performance.
The R17 Pro also carries
SuperVOOC flash charging technology, allowing users to enjoy safe and
efficient charging technology. It can charge up to 40 percent in only
10 minutes. The R17 Pro also support NFC wireless payment, making the
transition to mobile payments easy and convenient.
Camera perfect for quality
photography
When it comes to product
technology, night shooting is one of the most common challenges in
the smartphone industry. The R17 Pro upgrades both hardware and
software, making it a smartphone especially designed for night
shooting. The R17 Pro features a software-level AI Ultra-clear Engine
that allows users to take high-quality night photos. The AI
Ultra-clear Engine is OPPO's unique image-enhancing technology that
is able to break all hardware limitations to maximize the image
quality to produce amazing night shots.
The R17 Pro is equipped with a
variable smart aperture of f1.5/f2.4 which can automatically adjust
to the lighting conditions making images sharper and clearer in both
bright and low light situations. The R17 Pro has OIS (Optical Image
Stabilization), which can stabilize images and guarantee a longer
exposure time to brighten night-time photography, especially with a
7P lens module. The combination of these two features further
heightens precision in night-time photography.
Furthermore, with regards to
sensors, the R17 Pro uses a Sony IMX362 as its main camera, which has
12 MP with dual-pixel for quick and accurate focusing, and 1.4-micron
pixels size and 1/2.55 sensor size, for brighter night shots and
lower noise level. Overall, the whole hardware system of the OPPO R17
Pro is designed for night photography.
The R17 Pro also features TOF
3D camera, upgrading the camera from 2D to 3D and featuring users’
functions like 3D photos, somatosensory games, AR ruler, and more.
The OPPO R17 Pro will be
available in the Philippines on November 24 for PHP 38,990.00. For
