A Storyteller’s Reward: How a Teacher Found His Creative Boost with the Vivo V50

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – At the heart of BJ Pascual’s exclusive photography masterclass at One Ayala, creativity filled the air. Among the crowd of aspiring photographers and curious creatives, one name stood out — Johann Rabino. A teacher, school paper adviser, and photography enthusiast, Johann didn’t just walk away with new skills. He left with a fresh vision, a powerful device, and an exclusive 50% discount on the new Vivo V50.

Johann, a proud Vivo user for nearly five years, has always embraced the brand for its reliability and performance. “Yung battery life, yung app na hindi nagla-lag, consistent talaga. As a teacher, kailangan ko ng phone na hindi ako bibiguin. Kaya dito ako nag-stay,” he said. His long-time loyalty and creative energy on Vivo’s Facebook community earned him the top spot for the exclusive discount — a reward he described as destiny.

More than a hobbyist, Johann is known in his school as the go-to person for photography. He actively contributes to their school publication, blending powerful visuals with storytelling to make an impact. “Sabi nga nila, ako lagi ang tinatawag pag may pictorial. I combine photography and writing para mas impactful. Kaya sobrang meaningful ng experience na ‘to,” he shared.

Attending BJ Pascual’s workshop didn’t just reignite his passion — it expanded his technical perspective. Discovering the multiple bokeh options on the Vivo V50 opened his eyes to mobile photography’s endless possibilities. “Akala ko dati isang type lang ng bokeh. Pero ngayon ko lang nalaman na ang dami palang variations. Nakaka-inspire.”

Johann was most impressed by how Vivo has integrated high-end camera tech, like ZEISS lenses, into a smartphone. “Yung ZEISS lenses, mahal talaga 'yun. Yung B-Speed, nasa Php 200,000 pataas. Pero andito na lahat sa Vivo V50. Wala ka nang kailangan dalhin na mabigat. Kaya sobrang amazed talaga ako.”

Now, Johann is excited to pass on what he’s learned. He plans to bring mobile photography into the classroom, using his students as subjects for creative mini-lessons on storytelling through images.

The Vivo V50 is the ultimate companion for storytellers—blending professional-grade photography with sleek performance. Available now with Php 2,000 off at Vivo stores nationwide and online through the Vivo website, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

Stay creative, stay inspired — with Vivo.
