Get your hands on these devices smarter than your basic video camera, which can prove useful in sticky road situations and keeping everything in check.
Dashboard cameras (dash cams) have become increasingly popular and essential over the past couple of years and Lazada Philippines offers you options that can fit your budget.
Think of it as the GoPro of your lovely car which records every detail that takes place both on the road and inside the car. It also provides an objective eye in driving situations that are often met with confusion. Simply mount this nifty device to the dashboard/windscreen of your car and you’re all set for the road trip.
Have a peek at its benefits and why it is a good buy:
Crash for Cash

Be not afraid to be a victim of some modus operandi and protect yourself if you fall prey to these illegal money-making organizations. They try to cut in on your right of way to cause a collision and report an alleged injured passenger to extort money from you. Getting a dashcam could be the strongest proof to defend yourself and be acquitted from such circumstances.
Incident Recording
In case your car gets involved in a road accident that clearly is not your fault, this camera will be your most important witness to prove otherwise.
Avoid getting tickets
For a driving violation you did not commit, readily offer to open up and review your dash cam footage before a ticket is given.
Teenage Driving

Set up a regular schedule to review the dash cam footage of your kid’s driving. See what you can do to prevent him/her from getting a ticket or being involved in an accident. Best to be preventive and give them tips on what they can do better when on the road.
With the variety of dash cams currently out on the market at quite hefty prices, purchasing one might seem like a big spend and out of budget.
Worry no more in finding the best dashboard cameras as Lazada Philippines, the country’s one-stop online shopping and selling destination, gives you enough reasons to shop more and spend less. Simply visit to Lazada.com.ph and browse through your dash cam options.

The Satchmi Store was packed to the brim for their 1st birthday. A celebration of Satchmi’s love for records, music, and the lifestyle they cultivate together with their community of friends and loyal customers.
It’s no surprise when we saw people pouring in from all directions to the store. When you step in, it’s as if you’re in another world separated from the mall itself. There was free food courtesy of Mr. Graham’s Sandwich Shop, their highly talked about Cebuano along with chips and dip filled everyone’s appetite throughout the event. In tandem were Mrs. Graham’s macarons straight from her cafe, specially made for the event complete with vinyl record designs and plating. Their Apple Pie Soda was also served during the party as well as Craftpoint’s Summer Sessions. All free aside from Satchmi’s esteemed third-wave coffee.
People got to experience fun and games throughout the event like spin the wheel with prizes from Satchmi’s lifestyle brands — Happy Socks, Lost Nomad, Gouache Bags, The Green House Project, Sunday Paper Co and more, there was also a sleeve face Photo Booth contest, by the end of the night the most creative photo got to take home a Motorino Mk II. A Satchmi event wouldn’t be complete without performances from their favorite artists BP Valenzuela, Reese & Vica, CRWN, and up-and-coming Coeli. Chip Balbuena — a comedian from Comedy Cartel’s line up was also there to provide some laughs for the night.
The main event was when Satchmi released a video showcasing what was next for them this year. Some of the things announced were that they are opening a 2nd branch in Quezon City (exact location still top secret) in early 2016, the Motorino Mk II now comes in the new color Silver bidding goodbye to the Ivory model, a new Satchmi Blend of beans exclusive from EDSA Beverage Design Studio coming soon to the store and most importantly, a new vinyl compilation that is composed of some of their favorite performers from Vinyl Day 2013 to 2015. Some of the artists include Autotelic, Oh, Flamingo!, BP x CRWN collab, Tandems ’91, She’s Only Sixteen, Reese & Vica, Imago, Taken by Cars, and more! A total of 12 tracks for a vinyl produced and manufactured entirely by Satchmi. The vinyl, entitled “General Assembly” (and rightly so) will be released sometime in 2016.
“It definitely is hard to believe how far we’ve come,” says Edric Chua, co-founder of Satchmi. “When we started out with just a couple of records and an online store, we always used to talk about opening a brick and mortar store until eventually the opportunity presented itself to us and we took it,” he adds. “From an online store to an actual physical store, and now we are not only distributors but producers and manufacturers of actual vinyl records — for a couple of vinyl enthusiasts, it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come,” says Aislinn Chuahiock, another co-founder of Satchmi. When asked what their secret was into getting this far, Ronald Sy – Managing Director and co-founder of Satchmi simply said “It was really a collaborative effort. Both within the team and with everyone we’ve ever worked with. Our loyal customers and everyone who has ever supported us also helped materialize what we’ve been planning for how many years.”
Vinyl records have been around for a while now and although the emergence of technology and digital music has proven to lessen physical music sales, the fact that vinyl is slowly growing and emerging to be the ultimate and most genuine medium shows that a love for the good old days will never go away. Satchmi has been the frontrunner in making vinyl records accessible to everyone and as proven today, they are here to stay and we couldn’t be any happier.
Satchmi is a music and lifestyle brand with a love for vinyl records, worldly goods, and everything in between. Visit their online store at www.satchmi.com or their physical store at the 4F Mega Fashion Hall, SM Megamall.

It’s been a year since the Satchmi Store opened its doors and they’re celebrating it the best way they know how: the ultimate birthday party happening! I’m so excited for September 26, but while we wait, here are a couple of things we hear you can expect at Satchmi’s Birthday Bash:
Free-flowing drinks
The Satchmi Store as most people know is not just your ordinary record store. They also have a coffee bar situated right in the middle. Their third wave coffee has been praised and raved on by many, getting their beans straight from the local supplier – EDSA Beverage Design Group. This time though, not only will we get free-flowing coffee for the night, but free-flowing craft beer from their friends over at CraftPoint Brewery! Coffee + Beer = the perfect way to cap off the night
Party giveaways and prizes
Those who attend the party, get a chance to win Satchmi’s Motorino Mk II – Customized Limited Edition. A staple in almost all of Satchmi’s events. Not only that, but they’ve also added in more giveaways from their favorite curated local brands like Sunday Paper Co, The Lost Nomad, Gouache Bags, Leather Fellow, The Green House Project, and more!
Record sales
We also hear that there might be a sale on their records (plus a special announcement about the Motorino Mk II we are absolutely dying to know!)
Lots of music and laughs
The Satchmi Store has been known for hosting intimate and fun events for music and the performing arts. You can expect some of their staples on stage: Reese & Vica, BP Valenzuela, CRWN, and up-and-coming artist Coeli (all we can say is you have to see her to experience her music). Adding to the birthday fun, Satchmi will also be getting Comedy Cartel’s Chip Balbuena – JackTV’s Kamikaze Best Comedy Act Competition winner & Laugh and Stack Standup Comedy Competition Champion to end the night right.
Secrets and plans revealed
We also hear that there’s going to be a special part of the program where Satchmi will be disclosed to everyone there what their plans are for next year. It’s kind of ironic how this time the birthday celebrant will be doing the surprising and we just gotta know what it is! They’ve been dropping a few hints here and there but I guess we’ll have to wait for the actual event to find out what Satchmi is planning for 2016.
Until then, we are inviting everyone to go to one of the most exciting birthday parties this year. Advanced Happy Birthday to the Satchmi Store and see you on September 26, 7 PM!
To RSVP go to tinyurl.com/happybirthdaySatchmi
The Satchmi Store is located at the 4F, Mega Fashion Hall, SM Megamall
