Ekotek Gadgets Invade the Beaches of Boracay

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Boracay island of Aklan is a well known tourist destination in the Philippines. Everyone has heard of its amazing beaches stretching from Station 1 to 3 populated by several bars and restaurants situated at its shores and highlighted by the iconic Willy's Rock at Station 2. It is so popular that a car brand also named the colors of one of its latest car models as Boracay Blue referring to the astounding blue waters of Boracay island.

We got invited to cover a four-day event at Boracay namely the "Geeks on a Beach" confab where startups and investors gathered together for the annual event which is now on its third run, The event is returning in Boracay where they first held the event. It seems the island is really a very attractive destination that many are using it as a prime motivator to attract participants and sponsors.

Of course, we need to keep connected while we are away on assignment, and need to have a trusted gadget with us to help us cover the event. Something reliable and efficient enough to use for our online browsing and checking of emails and social media accounts. Thus we brought with us the Ekotek Ekotab 3G tablet, and to match it with a power source just in case our batteries are drained due to a whole day events, was the Ekotek Ekopack Slim 6000mAh power bank.

Both gadgets were entirely useful so we can just leave our laptop back at the hotel and just use the Ekotab 3G tablet while we attended the many talks and presentations of the Geeks on a Beach speakers. The Ekopack Slim came in handy later in the afternoon after the tablet lost its juice. Instead of looking for a power outlet and using the recharging cables, we simply plugged in the Ekotab 3G on the Ekopack Slim when we got the low batt notice, and we continued to work without worries. They are the perfect matching gadgets for our everyday needs.

"The Encore is back and this time it’s equipped with 3G functionality! Not only does this 7” Quad-Core beauty come with the Kitkat OS, the Encore 3G is now armed with an enhanced camera as well as an upgraded memory and storage system. You can now take more pictures, update your Facebook, Instagram and so much more without having to look for WiFi!

The Ekopack Slim 6000mAh comes in the same slim and sleek design you’ve come to know and love. Only this time, it has more juice to power up your gadgets whenever, wherever. Best part is… it's compatible with most phones, tablets and other USB devices and comes in 4 eye catching colors: Lime, Orange, Black and White. "

Thanks to the Ekopack Slim, we still had enough battery power to take the Ekotab 3G at the beaches of Boracay. We were booked at a hotel located at station 2, so we hang around the beaches nearby. The first morning was spent walking from station 2 to Station 1 until we reached the famous Willy's Rock where we had several photo and video ops, and then back to the hotel, while the following morning was from Station 2 to the farthest end of Station 3. 

We had the Ekotek gadgets with us at the beach along with our portable Wi-Fi to keep us connected to the Internet. Though there were some areas where the Internet connectivity was poor (that's a different story all together), having all these gadgets with us allowed us to keep connected and informed. 

The best thing about the Ekotek brand is that it is a Filipino brand that si so very affordable compared to the leading brands having the same features. If you are considering of buying gadgets that meets your budget but performs very well just as the high-end brands, think only of Ekotek.

We should take advantage of the power of technology to put us at a level above everyone else who lack the convenience and access to these advancements and former luxuries which have become necessities to give us an edge in this very competitive life.
