Educator Scores Big at BJ Pascual’s vivo V50 Masterclass

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The energy was electric at BJ Pascual’s exclusive photography masterclass at One Ayala—but for one lucky attendee, the event offered more than just creative inspiration. Johann Rabino, an educator and school paper mentor, walked away not only with fresh insights but also a powerful new tool for storytelling: the vivo V50, thanks to a game-changing 50% discount.

Meet Johann Rabino: A Storyteller Beyond the Classroom

A long-time vivo fan and photography enthusiast, Johann has used his passion to connect with students and tell meaningful stories beyond the school walls. So when his name was called as the winner of vivo’s exclusive 50% V50 discount, it felt like more than luck—it felt meant to be.

A Portrait of Passion and Loyalty

For nearly five years, Johann has trusted vivo for its dependability 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 shared.

His active presence on vivo’s Facebook page, filled with thoughtful and creative posts, helped secure his winning spot—proof of how vivo champions its passionate community.

At school, Johann is known as the go-to guy for photos during events. But for him, photography is more than a hobby—it’s a form of creative teaching. Through his lens, he captures moments that tell stories, enhance learning, and inspire young minds.

“Sabi nga nila, ako lagi ang tinatawag pag may pictorial,” Johann laughed. “I combine photography and writing para mas impactful. Kaya sobrang meaningful ng experience na ‘to.”

A Spark Reignited

Attending the BJ Pascual masterclass sparked a renewed excitement in Johann, especially when he got to explore the vivo V50’s advanced bokeh features.

“Akala ko dati isang type lang ng bokeh. Pero ngayon ko lang nalaman na ang dami palang variations. Nakaka-inspire,” he said, smiling.

What truly amazed him was how high-end camera features—like ZEISS lenses and bokeh styles once exclusive to expensive gear—are now within reach via the vivo V50.

“Yung ZEISS lens, mahal talaga ‘yun. B-Speed alone costs over Php 200,000. Pero andito na lahat sa vivo V50. Wala ka nang kailangang dalhin na mabigat. Kaya sobrang amazed talaga ako.”

Now, Johann plans to share what he learned by using his students as photography subjects and turning each session into a mini-lesson in mobile storytelling.
