Prezenter simplifies presentations through Smart TVs, allowing teachers to access presentations in under 10 seconds without bringing their laptops daily. With already growing user base in Asia, Europe, and America, Presenter hopes to elevate the presentation tool in education, especially in the Philippines.
[Cebu City, January 25, 2024] – In a groundbreaking development for the field of education, Engr. Kennette Canales, founder of Prezenter and a dedicated college educator from University of San Carlos – Cebu, has successfully created a Smart TV app designed to revolutionize the way teachers deliver visual presentations in the classroom.
Most of the classrooms are now equipped with Smart TVs instead of utilizing the traditional Projector as it’s cheaper and the displays are way better. However, many teachers are using them as if they were regular TVs, which is very inconvenient and wastes a lot of time when setting up discussions for our students.
Recognizing the need for a more seamless and interactive teaching experience, Kennette embarked on a journey to develop a user-friendly application that would enhance the learning environment for both educators and students. The result is a game-changing Smart TV app that simplifies the process of delivering visual presentations.
Key benefits of the Prezenter include,
Teachers don’t need to bring laptops everyday
Less technical difficulties during classes and special presentations
No more HDMI, VGA and any other adapters
Access Presentations in Under 10 Seconds
Kennette expressed enthusiasm about the potential impact of Prezenter on education, stating, “I believe that schools should consider the well being of the teachers. This app aims not only to elevate or ease the presentation as well as allowing them to go to school without bringing their heavy bags with laptops in it.”
The release of Prezenter aligns with the broader mission of Kennette to contribute to the advancement of education in the Philippines and beyond.

I read Alpha’s Regret My Luna Has A Son by Jessica Hall in 2022 on Goodnovel, and I don’t even remember when exactly anymore, and I LOVED it … a lot! Compared to her other stories, this one is fairly “innocent”. Translation: it isn’t as steamy. That aside, I thoroughly enjoyed it as the story is quite compelling.
I’ve recently started listening to books on audible and discovered that this book is there. Gasp! I just HAD to get it. I am so glad that I did … worth every penny. The voice actors were really good and did a pretty good job of bringing the story to life. My only regret is that book two (aka the second part of the story) has no recording yet.
If you’ve read this story on a reading app, then you know it is actually one long story, so cutting off where it did can be frustrating. That being said, the story is worth making that double purchase on Amazon. After all, it still comes out cheaper than reading apps.
Both books are available on Amazon.
Alpha’s Regret My Luna Has a Son in a Nutshell
Everly is the daughter of the Alpha or her pack and his successor. She was only seventeen when she met and inadvertently ended up in bed with Valen, who was the Alpha of a rival pack. They were drunk at a time, which should really not be an excuse in this day and age, but there you have it. When Everly wakes up in the morning, she realizes what happened, and she attempts a French exit but is met at the door by the Beta. After quick pleasantries, she still manages to leave alone, and the Beta was not able to get her name either.
Weeks pass and Everly realizes that she is pregnant and there can only be one person who could be the father so she tries to reach out to Valen to let him now but was rebuffed and he denied being with her. When her father discovers she is pregnant he disowns her and labels her a rogue whore when she would not agree to an abortion.
She leaves the pack and lives the life of a rogue from that point forward and eventually gives birth to a son.
Everly realizes early on that Valen is her fated mate but he did not know until several years later which lead to her suffering from his infidelity for years. This is the point in the story where the courtship of Valen and Everly begins. With everything that she has gone through I was glad that she does not succumb to easily to his charms. If she did, I would be very disappointed. She didn’t deny the mate bond, but she was better at resisting it.
My Thoughts
To say that I think this story is a masterpiece is putting it mildly. I have lost count of how many times I have read this story. Jessica Hall has me on an emotional roller coaster and I don’t want to get off it. In my head I see this story as something akin to a TV series … not a movie as that would be too short. So many things happen to Everly and Valen in this story that it would be an injustice to chop off as much as they do for movie adaptations.
If it isn’t obvious yet, I highly recommend that you add Alpha’s Regret My Luna Has A Son by Jessica Hall to your bookshelf, stat! Don’t just put it in the TBR (to be read) pile. Put it straight to the MUST-READ pile and enjoy!

The Children’s First One Thousand Days Coalition (CFDC) will launch today, January 13, 2024, its operations manual and training program on how it will help in the government’s war against malnutrition. There is a law, RA 11148 entitled “Kalusugan at Nutrisyon ng Magnanay Act”, that seeks to address malnutrition during children’s first one thousand days of life.

The manual functions as a comprehensive, step-by-step guide on the NGO’s adoption of barangays aimed at addressing malnutrition, extending its scope to a national level with a vision for fostering a healthier future for Filipino children.
To demonstrate their support for the operations and training program, department secretaries Dr. Teodoro “Ted” J. Herbosa, DOH; Atty. Benjamin “Benhur” C. Abalos, Jr., DILG, will grace the event.

Chiong, President, Rotary Club Of Makati Central; Mr. Alberto D. Lina, Chairman of ONELEGC, Inc.; Mr. Ronald Delos Santos, National President of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles-Philippine Eagles, and Mr. Danilo “Danny” Sanchez, Past Council Chairman of MD301 Philippines and State Council Of Lions Governor.
Atty. Mike T. Toledo, former Press Secretary, shall serve as the moderator.
“With our battle cry for a ‘brighter, stronger, taller’ Filipino children, let us unite to uplift the vulnerable and intensify nutrition efforts for a new generation of Filipinos,” says Atty. Joey Lina.
The milestone event promises to be a platform for collaboration and knowledge-sharing among key stakeholders committed to ensuring the well-being of children during their critical first 1,000 days of life.
