Information Technology has been a  world changing phenomenon. Humans can now do more than they could ever have. This includes being able to support struggling innovators that want to create something that could benefit the human race.

IdeaSpace Foundation seeks to do the same for the Philippines. We were invited to their 2016 competition launch and we were happy to oblige in disseminating this wonderful opportunity for the filipino People!

Details of the Start-up Competition can be found below!
IdeaSpace Foundation (IdeaSpace), the leading early-stage technology incubator and accelerator in the Philippines, announced the opening of its annual startup competition for 2016, which will begin accepting early-stage startup ideas beginning January 21.
Now on its fourth year, the IdeaSpace startup competition will also have a new structure which will focus on providing equity-free funding and support to competition winners so founders can pursue their innovative ideas.
“Ever since IdeaSpace was founded, we have declared our belief that Filipino entrepreneurs can turn their innovative startup ideas into reality and make it big on the world stage as long as there is an ecosystem to support them,” said Diane Eustaquio, Executive Director at IdeaSpace.
“With this new equity-free funding structure, IdeaSpace strengthens its commitment to the local startup ecosystem to bring out the most socially relevant innovations that can help solve pressing problems of the world, particularly in emerging economies such as the Philippines,” she added. 
Ideas from across the country, region 
Interested groups and individuals can now log on to apply.ideaspacefoundation.org to fill up the form and submit their startup ideas for evaluation until March 18, 2016. Submissions from around the Philippines, as well as in the Southeast Asian region, are welcome.
The top twenty ideas from this pool will be screened by an esteemed panel of judges, and the top 20 early-stage startups that will enter incubation will be announced by July 5, 2016. At least ten of these startups, meanwhile, will enter the acceleration phase beginning August 1, 2016.
Those who enter the acceleration phase will have access to up to P1 million funding which will include up to P500,000 in cash, while non-cash benefits such as housing, transportation, incorporation, office space, communication, software support, trainings and classes, as well as mentoring from executives of companies under First Pacific. 
New structure 
Unlike previous years, IdeaSpace will no longer have an equity in each of the startups that will undergo its incubation and acceleration process.
Eustaquio said this will allow startup founders and IdeaSpace to collaborate and focus fully on bringing these early-stage ideas to reality, and to ensure that each idea has a clear and achievable runway toward commercial viability.
As one of the formidable technology incubators and accelerators in the country, IdeaSpace has helped give birth to about 38 startups over the last four years as part of its half a billion-peso funding that was instituted in 2012.
Some of the program’s most notable alumni include: SALt, a startup that has developed an innovative saltwater lamp and was featured during the recent APEC Summit 2015 in Manila; PinoyTravel, a startup which helps solve provincial bus reservation woes of commuters; Mobkard, which helps consumers save on purchases through discounts and promos; and Tactiles, which developed an educational toy that helps children learn electronics while playing, among many others. 

IdeaSpace is supported by the following companies: First Pacific, First Pacific Leadership Academy, Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC), Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation, MPIC hospital group, PLDT, Meralco, Smart Communications, Inc., Digitel Mobile Philippines and its mobile brand Sun Cellular, SPI Global, ePLDT, Indofood, Philex Mining, Maynilad, MediaQuest, and TV5.

The long wait is over as FUJIFILM, one of the world’s best regarded camera brands unveils two new powerful and superior camera lines only days after their Japan launch – FUJIFILM X-Pro2 premium interchangeable lens camera and the more compact FUJIFILM X70. The worldwide launch was led by FUJIFILM Corporation President Shigehiro Nakajima and FUJIFILM executives in Tokyo, Japan. The Philippine launch was held January 21 at Discovery Suites in Ortigas.



FUJIFILM started the mirrorless revolution in 2012 with the retro styled X-Pro1. Like its predecessor, FUJIFILM X-Pro2 is a flagship model that takes advantage of the best in FUJIFILM technology. It is set to change the way Filipinos look at the more lightweight, powerful and aesthetically superior volition to DSLR cameras.



A tightly-held secret that was three years in the making, FUJIFILM X-Pro2 is an ideal tool for professional photographers. It boasts the world's only Hybrid Multi Viewfinder making use of the exceptional Electronic viewfinders (EVF) used by mirrorless cameras and optical viewfinders which most documentary, reportage and street photographers prefer for a more natural view. It incorporates them both, harnessing a technically remarkable Multi-Magnification ability that automatically switches viewfinder magnification according to the lens the photographer is using plus the Electronic Rangefinder so it simultaneously displays the electronic viewfinder on top of the optical one. You get the best of both worlds.


FUJIFILM X-Pro2 also has a newly developed 24.3MP X-Trans CMOS III sensor and high-performance X Processor Pro image processing engine that can deliver stunning images with a perceived resolution far greater than the actual number of pixels used.This camera is also built with magnesium alloy and is tightly sealed in its 61 points. It's dust-proof, splash-proof and capable of operating in temperatures as low as 10°C. The X-Pro2 also has dual SD card slots which mean more preferable room for your images.It’s also got 4x the processing speed of conventional image processing engines so aside from the increased resolution, you’ll get optimum write speeds, faster start-up time to capture those magical moments and high speed continuous shooting speedsin sports and action shots.








Aside from the powerhouse X-Pro2, Fujifilm is also proud to announce the release of FUJIFILM X70. The best option in a compact design, the X70 is without precedent, the first of its kind in a new line. FUJIFILM X70 is the first X-Series model to offer a touchscreen display that rotates 180 degrees. This would enable users to shoot from various angles and perfect those warranted selfies. The camera also comes with a Fujinon18.5mm F2.8 lens which would be splendid for group shots or spectacular landscapes, seascapes and sunsets adept for the Philippine setting.

The X70 weighs approximately 340 grams and is the lightest X-Series camera with an APS-C sized sensor. It comes with a well-designed milled aluminum exposure compensation and shutter speed dials which makes it so easy to quickly access key features and the aperture and focusing rings are made from the same material to keep the weight down. Apertures can be changed in 1/3 or 1 stop increments, plus the focusing ring doubles up as a control ring for quick access to a range of functions. 



FUJIFILM X70 is a pocket-sized wonder that delivers high quality images that is unique to X-Series models. The unparalleled color reproduction technology and the unique Lens Modulation Optimizer (LMO) image processing technology are a result of FUJIFILM’s 80 years of experience and expertise in photographic technology research. Its impressive hardware automatically corrects optical defects such as diffraction to achieve striking sharpness and realistic three-dimensional effect.The on sensor phase detection AF works ultra-fastat 0.1 second and the high-speed proprietary EXR Processor II image processor makes the camera start up in just 0.5sec. The shutter time lag is almost negligible at 0.01sec and gets a shooting interval of 0.5 seconds. FUJIFILM X70 is unbelievably fast, powerful and exceptionally compact. 




FUJIFILM also adds two new premium products to its impressive lineup. FUJIFILM X-E2S is the latest rangefinder-style model in the world-renowned X-Series that comes with a durable, compact, and lightweight body with a Real-Time Viewfinder that offers a large display magnification of 0.62x*1 and an electronic viewfinder with the world's shortest display time lag*2 of 0.005 seconds. Furthermore, X-E2S is also equipped with an AF system that excels at capturing subjects in motion. An evolved version of the X-E2, FUJIFILM X-E2S retains the functionality and rangefinder-style design and adds new features including an improved grip, an electronic shutter and a more intuitive GUI to enhance the user experience.


The new FUJINON XF100-400mm F4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR expands the range to a super telephoto option. The FUJINON XF100-400mmF4.5-5.6 R LM OIS WR is a super telephoto zoom lens that covers a 35mm focal length equivalent of 152-609mm. The high performance optical construction of 21 elements in 14 groups includes five ED lenses and one Super ED lens to help reduce chromatic aberration that often occurs in telephoto lenses. As a result, it delivers the highest image quality in its class. The lens has been designed for handheld shooting with a 5.0-stop* image stabilization system and weighs less than 1.4kg. Linear motor for fast autofocusing makes it perfect for shooting fast-moving subjects including aircraft and motorsports. The lens is also both water and dust resistant and can operate in temperatures as low as -10°C, so it is suitable for use in a wide range of outdoor shooting conditions. A fluorine coating has also been applied to the front lens element to repel water and dirt, further improving the toughness of lens.

With the launch of FUJIFILM X-Pro2 and X70 and two others, FUJIFILM continues to be a true trailblazer in the camera and photographic film industry, true to its rich storied 80 year history, innovating and creating ways to make taking photographs and making memories easier, fun, and enjoyable.

Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe and Nara are all within one hour of each other via train, and a trip to Kansai International Airport wouldn't be complete without visiting any of these neighbouring cities. For this trip we will be going to Arashiyama, Kyoto via the Hankyu-Arashiyama Line. This will cost us JPY 610.00 or Php 244.00 per person, and an hour of travel time. (See the itinerary below)

Please don't forget that in our Day One and Day Two articles, we explain that our conversion rate is JPY 1.00 is equal to PHP 0.40.

Namba/Nippombashi to Arashiyama, Kyoto

Nippombashi Station (Osaka) to Hankyu-Arashiyama Station (Kyoto) JPY 610.00 or Php 244.00
Nippombashi station is a ten (10) minute walk from namba station or you can choose to travel via train via the Sen-Nichimae Line for an extra JPY 180.00. Either way the Hankyu line is pretty distinct from the exterior and interior looks of the trains.

The Hankyu Line Train that will get us to Kyoto from the heart of Osaka!

The ride to Arashiyama will take over an hour and the view will vary from the busy metropolis to the simple suburbs. It is a wonderful experience to see nothing but buildings transition to rice patties, then to the mountains.

Along the way, you will see the culture of the Japanese who live far from the main city where they work or study because of the high real estate costs but are able to get to the city within an hour of commuting because of the vast transportation infrastructure.

Students and Workers from the suburbs commuting to Kyoto!
At the end of train ride, we arrive at Hankyu-Arashiyama station. Most of our destinations for Arashiyama are walking distance to each other so we'll be saving a lot from transportation fees.

The end of the line! Hankyu-Arashiyama Station

Walking along Arashiyama

Arashiyama is famous for the Bamboo Grove, Tenryu-Ji Temple and the bridge along Katsura River which happens to be a couple of minutes away from Hankyu-Arashiyama station. As you make your way to the bridge, the number of tourists is also increasing as almost everything spot along the way is picturesque. It's one of the places where in if you take a bad photo, it is definitely the photographer's fault because almost everything here is pristine.

The beautiful Katsura River!
The water is clear, the air is fresh, and the smell is pleasant. Your very presence in this place is in itself, reinvigorating. In fact, I will just leave the following pictures to your own interpretation as the experience itself is beyond words.

This is beside the bridge entrance facing the Hankyu-Arashiyama Line: 'Serenity'.
I never want to burn bridges this beautiful.
Before we could cross the bridge on the picture above this sentence, we met a beautiful young Japanese lady wearing the traditional costume, the Yukata. She was kind enough to let us take a picture with her and after the fact, she even thanked us. Beauty and humility is truly an attractive trait.

Beauty and humility is very attractive. 
We've crossed the bridge and turned left. We saw what looked like a man drawn carriage with an old couple having a wonderful time. It was interesting because I thought this could only be found in China. I love it when I'm proven wrong.

Behind them is a restaurant with the view beautiful view of the river and mountain side!
Little ways down the road is where those carriages came from!

A few blocks later is one of the branches of % Arabica! The brand is famous for their blends and latte art! I discovered them via instagram and decided to add them to my itinerary because they were along the way!

Great coffee + Great view = Great Memories
That view from this side is amazing. I can't stress that enough!
His hand movements while making the latte art was too fast that most of my shots came out blurry!
The coffee was amazing. I really have to stress the difference in the milk they use. It tempers the flavors instead of subduing them. Their signature blend is interesting because the fruity flavor that I normally do not like is soft, distinct but not appalling. I like it. This just cost JPY 400.00

up-close and personal with the straw fence

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove!

After we had our coffee break while enjoying the serenity of the river and mountainside at % Arabica, continued to walk up stream to the entrance of the Bamboo grove. We encountered a couple in their traditional costumes. My mother being the consistent one, asked the lovely couple for a picture. 
A lovely couple in Japanese Traditional Costume!
After the entrance, we noticed the gradual increase of straw fences and the bamboos. It was a spine chilling experience because the reason why I came here is because the bamboo grove was one of the settings in the Samurai X (Rurouni Kenshin) the movie. I was all giddy as I drew closer and closer to the heart of the grove. Lo and behold at the view!

Nothing else like it
The increased density of bamboo plants does two things: 1. It creates an oxygen rich atmosphere that relaxes your whole body, and 2. It blocks the majority of the sunlight creating a cool and soothing atmosphere where the temperature is lower than the area outside of the grove. It's one thing to see it in pictures, it is totally a different thing to experience. It overloads the senses with serenity that I want to go back whenever I want to get away from all the hustle and bustle of city life. The Japanese have a wonderful treasure here.

This is Zen

Tenryu-Ji Temple

As we reach the other end of the bamboo grove is the entrance to the Tenryu-Ji temple which is considered to be one of the more beautiful temples in Japan! An entrance fee of JPY 700.00 yen per person  is paid at the entrance.

After purchasing your ticket and going through the turnstile, you are greeted by lush gardens that all feel strategically placed. You see sand, gravel, cement, wood and plants all coming together to give that calming zen atmosphere. You will then find a small creek that crawling up on the side of the walkway towards the main building.

A view of the garden and the pond from the main temple building
As you reach the main building, you will be greeted by the majesty of the huge temple building and the even more majestic view of the pond, the garden and the mountains. It just took breathe away even though there were so many people.

We stayed here for a while to relax and enjoy the calmness of the place. We then proceeded to follow the path that lead us to the main entrance and leave the temple grounds.

The path towards the temple
It was such a shame that the trees were only beginning to turn when we came. It would have been more beautiful if we had arrived a week after. It just goes to show how timeless the beauty of Japan is. We decided to head on to the Saga-Arashiyama Kyoto Station to have lunch.

Saga-Arashiyama Station and the Kimono Forest

Saga-Arashiyama Station

It is a couple of blocks away from Tenryu-Ji temple and it is famous for its bamboo inspired interiors and the Kimono forest. The Kimono Forest is made of kimono fabric have been rolled up and made into columns that line the path towards the station. Each column is embodied with different japanese inspired designs like foxes, sakura blossoms and the like.

Up-close with the different Kimono fabric designs!
We then decided to sit down and have a bowl of Udon which costs JPY 800.00 per bowl. We each ordered our own preferred flavors. After that, we saw this interesting ice cream cone that we had to try because of the unique way it was twirled. We got two cones with each cone costing JPY 500.00. (So JPY 1000.00 divided by five people, equals to JPY 200.00 per person)

The Cremia ice cream cone at JPY 500 each! Was it worth it?
The ice cream itself was different because the vanilla flavor was slightly stronger but deeper awhile the consistency was thicker and slightly less heavier giving it a more refined experience. The cone on the other hand is made like those rectangular milk biscuits with curved edges from my childhood. The refined vanilla ice cream clashes wonderfully with the strong milky flavor of the cone. It was wonderful, probably something the ladies who love deserts would have every now and then. I for one won't have it again. I found the price much in the premium side.

The giant 'Torii' or gate is the first to greet you at the main entrance along the busy street

Fushimi Inari Taisha

After our lunch at Saga-Arashiyama station, we went through several blocks into the kyoto neighbourhood to get to nearest JR (Japan Rail) station to get back to grand Kyoto station and then transfer to the train that will lead us to Fushimi Inari Taisha which is right in front of the Inari Station. The total cost of the ride was JPY 240.00 per person.

When we arrived at Inari station, it was pretty busy. Local tourists, students and foreign tourists all came in unison filling the small station quickly. As we got out of the station we were greeted by the huge Torii or gate at the entrance.

She's dancing her heart away

Fushimi Inari Taisha is famous for the huge number of vermillion torii/gates that are next to each other. In reality that is just the secondary entrance. The whole place encompasses the mountain behind it. It would take half a day to get there.

The busier street that leads to Fushimi Inari Taisha

It is insanely packed with tourists. In fact I was lucky enough to get moments where there were barely any one to obstruct the above picture. It was worth it though. My family however chose not to do the half-day trek to the mountain where the main shrine is.

Meat wrapped onigiri for JPY 600.00 (Rice Balls, I know they aren't round, I was confused as well)

We then decided to leave the shrine grounds through the other street full of food stalls. It was rather complete with different japanese staples like okonomiyaki (Japanese pancakes), onigiri (rice balls), red bean ice cream, crab sticks and the like. There were commercial establishments full of souvenirs for you to revel on like japanese toys, utensils and wardrobe. It was quite something to see all that in a short amount of time.

These fishes serve as the cones for the red bean ice cream!
We weren't able to get some of the red bean ice cream because there was no one to attend to our order. It was an interesting find though!

Vermillion is inspired by the color of the Torii/Gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha
After going through the street we headed to the direction of the Inari station. Along the way I passed by Vermillion Coffee. The name is inspired by the vermillion colors of the Torii/gates of Fushimi Inari Taisha.

The Latte from Vermillion Costs JPY 400.00!
The coffee itself was smooth with all the right notes that will leave you with that satisfied 'ahh!' after each sip!

Even the support columns are painted vermillion!
After that we bought our ticket at the station to go back to the Kyoto station where we took a glimpse of the Kyoto Tower and the hotel below it. This ticket cost us JPY 140.00 per person.

Kyoto Tower!

We then headed back to the station to buy tickets that would lead us back to Osaka station in Umeda. The trip will take us thirty minutes and it cost us JPY 560.00 per person.

One of the views from our train ride from Kyoto station to Osaka station
After we got off at Osaka station in Umeda, we did the same as in the first day when we came from the Umeda sky building. We needed to ride the Midosuji line back to Namba, where our apartment was. This costs JPY 240.00 per person. We were still full from all the snacks from Fushimi Inari Taisha so our mother decided to cook some left over grocery ingredients she bought the day before. She was able to make sauteed noodles with seasoned tomatoes and onions. It was light but left us satisfied none the less. It was a tiring day full of walking but I think the most fruitful of our trip so far.
