SAKAY.PH
Gadgets
|June 2017
The easiest way to get around the metro is by taking public transportation. If you are a direction noob, however, navigating the winding streets of Metro Manila can be as dreadful as losing your way in a non-English-speaking country, without internet connection. Good news! The heavens have heard the woes of people with no sense of direction and has brought upon this Earth the app Sakay.ph.
This app, available on iOS, Android, and via a web browser, helps you commute confidently no matter where you’re headed. According to the website, the original version of Sakay.ph was created by two brilliant programmers as a small side project. The app was then used as an entry to the Philippine Transit App Challenge, a local hackathon in 2013 where it bagged the Open Community Award.
Currently, Sakay.ph is handled and is being further improved by software development and design firm By Implication. With a user-friendly interface and mobile app to boot, Sakay.ph has helped over 500,000 users get around Manila without a hitch through easy to follow transit directions.

REDMI NOTE 15 PRO 5G
The Xiaomi Redmi Note series has cemented itself as an all-around powerhouse device. It is also one of the most value-oriented devices on the market, thanks to its diverse lineup. I have been a fan of the lineup since its early days; in fact, I used two models (the Redmi Note 3 and Note 5 Al) as my main devices back then. The Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G is my latest look at the Redmi Note series, and it has reminded me why I fell in love with the series in the first place.
