When I was still working for the Manila Times a few years back, I would pass by the walled city of Intramuros almost every time. And as much as I was tempted to take out my smartphone to snap some photos, I never dared because of all the horror stories of phones being snatched and people being mugged in the area especially at night.
I finally got the chance to stroll around Intramuros, safely (with baranggay security escort!), thanks to the Huawei and Leica sponsored photowalk yesterday.
Now if you’ve been following me on social media, (@WhereisEdUy please follow me! )you probably noticed almost all of my photos the past few months have the OO Huawei P9 Plus watermark, (which, by the way are NOT SPONSORED POSTS!). Its just I’ve learned to love photography more thanks to the amazing camera of the Huawei P9 plus.
The Huawei P9, a partnership between Huawei and Leica disrupts the world of smartphone photography with its dual-lens camera co-engineered with Leica, the iconic camera manufacturer.
To further introduce Huawei P9 to Filipinos, Huawei partnered with Leica Club Manila to hold a three-leg Photography Workshop series, led by their very own master lens men Billy Mondonedo and Dr. Benjo Campomanes.
“The P9 is a real game changer in the world of smartphone photography. It has been creating ripples globally and we want to ensure that our Filipino consumers experience what the Huawei P9 offers beyond the usual camera phone,” shared Mark De Joya, Marketing Director for CBG of Huawei Philippines. ”Many may claim that they have the best camera phone, but once you get your hands on the P9, you will see the clear difference. The P9 blurs the line between smartphones and professional cameras.”
Participants from Manila learned new ways to practice smartphone photography as experienced through the P95 unioue camera feature and a Leica lens signature: true monochrome.
The famous and historical location of lntramuros was the fitting choice to practice the P9 true monochrome feature as stark and layered contrasts were produced by the phone’s dual Leica lens camera.
The #00 Story
The #OO represents the dual-lens camera of the Huawei P9, which combines the RGB and monochrome features to produce outstanding and vivid images. In every photograph produced by P9, it bears Leica’s unique emotional resonance and timelessness that reveals a different perspective in how one can see the world.
“The arrival of the Huawei P9 line in the Philippines signifies a shift in the standard of phone photography. Now, the game has changed and we are confident to stand out from the norm,” said Corinne Bacani, Senior Marketing Manager for CBG or Huawei Philippines. “Much like how a Leica photograph stands out from others, P9 users set themselves apart from other smartphone users with the perfect tool for creativity and self-expression.”

Meanwhile, the P9 family of devices features a state-of-the-art industrial design with the perfect blend of straight lines and curvatures, reflecting the P-series’ minimalist design concept. Moreover, powered by the new 2.5GHz Kirin 955 and an upgraded fingerprint sensor, Huawei continues to be at the forefront of technological innovation in the spaces of speed and security, especially with this new flagship device.
