Upgrade Your Next Harana to the Max with These Portable Gadgets!

The harana—a serenade of soulful guitar strums and heartfelt singing—is a romantic tradition that has melted hearts for generations in our beloved country. But let’s face it, times have changed. Even back in 1997, Parokya ni Edgar was already asking “Uso pa ba ang harana?” So if you’re thinking of returning to this time-honored custom, it’s time to give it a much-needed upgrade for modern times, with the help of the Next Upgrade Shop.

Not everyone is born with angelic vocals. If you’re one of the unlucky few, don’t let it stop you from belting out your love song. The JBL PartyBox Digital Wireless Microphone might not be able to make you sound like a pro singer, but it can at least make you sound as loud as one. It’s also wireless, so you can strut around while delivering those dramatic “Ikaw ang aking mahal” lines. Sure, it might cost more than a month's worth of groceries, but that’s a small price to pay for the chance at the love of your life.

If you’re gonna take the harana to modern times, ditch the guitar and bring an entire party with you. The JBL Partybox Encore Essential is your all-in-one band—sync with the JBL PartyBox app and play the instrumentals for your favorite love songs without needing guitars and backup singers. It also has a booming bass perfect for romantic interests whose condo balconies are higher than what the traditional harana is used to. It’s got a light show feature too, so if your potential romantic partner doesn’t like watching you, they still have a light show to keep them entertained.

Modernization isn’t always an upgrade

Don’t worry! We’re self-aware enough that these suggestions are mostly in jest. The traditional harana with guitars and your barkada as your backup singers would definitely be more romantic.
