CEBU CITY, Philippines — If your smartphone dies or your smart fridge starts acting like a freezer-sized paperweight, help is now officially coming from the heart of the Visayas.

Cebu’s Tech Scene Just Got a 2,000-Watt Jolt: Asurion Lands in the Queen City

Today, global tech-support titan Asurion cut the ribbon on its brand-new customer solutions center right here in Cebu City. This isn't just another office opening; it’s a massive vote of confidence in local talent, with plans to plug 2,000 new jobs into the Cebuano economy over the next two years.

Scaling Up in the South

The grand opening featured the traditional blessing and ribbon-cutting, bringing together tech leaders and local officials to celebrate Asurion’s sixth major footprint in the Philippines. While the company already has a 7,000-strong army across Manila, Iloilo, and Clark, Cebu was the missing piece of the puzzle.

"As tech weaves itself deeper into our lives, the 'help' button needs to be faster and smarter," said Guru Gowrappan, CEO of Asurion. "Our investment in Cebu is a testament to the incredible talent we see here. This team won't just be answering phones; they’ll be the backbone of our global customer experience."

The New HQ: Six Floors of Innovation

Asurion isn't just taking up space; they’re taking over. The new hub occupies six floors of the Faustina Center, located in the bustling Bonifacio District. They are currently hunting for a diverse crew to fill the halls, including:

Tech Support & Customer Care (The front-line heroes)
HR, IT, & Operations (The engine room)
Digital Marketing & Training (The creative sparks)

Why Work Here? (Besides the View)

Asurion isn't a rookie in the "Best Places to Work" circuit. They’ve held that title for four years running and were recently inducted into the PEZA Hall of Fame. To sweeten the deal for Cebu’s job seekers, the company is packing the trunk with perks:

Day 1 HMO (No waiting periods here)
Daily free meals (Yes, actually free)
Retirement programs and transport allowances
A culture that respects the "life" part of work-life balance

About Asurion

Think of Asurion as the "Chief Technology Officer of your home." Whether it’s a cracked screen, a glitchy gaming console, or a washing machine having a mid-life crisis, Asurion’s 230 million global customers rely on them to keep the digital world spinning.

PLDT Home and Google Philippines Lead the Charge in AI-Driven Digital Mastery for Filipino Mompreneurs

For years, the conversation around empowering women has centered on one word: access. We talked about access to education, the internet, and the global marketplace. But as the world changes, so does the definition of being "connected."

Today, a new digital divide is emerging. It isn't just about who has an internet connection. It's about who knows how to use and maximize the digital tools at their disposal. As artificial intelligence (AI) begins to reshape how we work, learn, and grow our businesses, the goal is shifting.

It’s no longer enough just to be online. To truly thrive, women need the skills and confidence to lead in an AI-driven world.

Moving Beyond the Connection

Through a collaboration between PLDT Home’s Madiskarte Moms PH (MMPH) and Google, the second Gemini Academy for mompreneurs was recently held to bridge this gap. Building on last year’s introduction to AI, the program focused on practical use, showing participants how AI can support their businesses and help them stay competitive in a fast-changing digital landscape. It also encouraged women to become #maAIdiskartemom, embracing innovation by using AI tools.

While "AI" can sometimes sound like a complicated term reserved for tech experts, Gemini Academy is proving that these tools are actually for everyone. Most especially for mompreneurs who are balancing their family life and work, while looking to reach more customers. AI is a partner that helps get things done faster and more creatively.

“AI is no longer limited to large enterprises. It is for everyone, and we need to embrace it. Today, it goes beyond being a tool. It becomes a partner that helps you write product descriptions in seconds, respond to customers with confidence, create content, and support your day-to-day operations,” said Cheryl Maxine Loyola, AVP and Head of Public Relations and Brand Advocacy at PLDT Home.

“When you put tools like Gemini in the hands of women who are already 'madiskarte', you do more than improve productivity. You unlock potential.”

Tools for the Modern Filipina

The Gemini Academy has always focused on making technology approachable. It also recognizes the efforts of mompreneurs who have leveraged AI to grow their businesses, such as mom ambassadors Princess Alvarez of ISLA Everything Accessories and Jenielyn Sicabalo-Nieva of MP Nieva's Flower Shop.

Princess successfully built a custom pricing calculator and business tracker from scratch with the help of Gemini. This gives her a real-time view of her business profitability without a technical background. Jenielyn also utilized Gemini to do deep research into bouquet trends and innovative "add-on" gift ideas. This keeps her up to date on the latest market trends, so she can consistently offer fresh gift ideas to customers.

These stories reflect a broader shift in how Filipino women are redefining entrepreneurship in the digital age.

“What we’re seeing today is a new kind of ‘diskarte’—one where Filipina entrepreneurs are not just adopting technology, but using AI to lead, innovate, and scale their businesses with confidence, and ultimately lead their own success story,” said Daphne Gripal Abello, Manager, PLDT Home Marketing PR and Brand Advocacy.

During this year’s Gemini Academy with PLDT Home’s MMPH, participants discovered how other innovative Google products can simplify their day-to-day business tasks, such as NotebookLM, which serves as their personal assistant, helping organize notes, understand complex documents, and brainstorm ideas. Music generator Lyria and AI image editor Nano Banana can open up new worlds of creativity, helping users explore music and media in ways once possible only with expensive equipment. While AI marketing tool Pomelli is designed to help streamline tasks and improve how they interact with digital information.

Through digital mastery, women are moving from learning the basics to dominating the digital space. They are now finding ways to automate information so they can focus on what they are passionate about

Celebrating the "Diskarteng AI"

The mission doesn't stop at training. Empowerment also means recognition. During the program, it was announced that next year’s Gawad Madiskarte, the annual awards ceremony of PLDT Home’s MMPH that honors the grit and ingenuity of Filipina entrepreneurs, will include the Diskarteng Digital Award.

This category will honor women who have successfully integrated AI into their businesses, demonstrating that "diskarte" today is about more than just hard work—it's about being innovative and creative with the best available technology.

"The award will recognize the mompreneur who can best leverage AI to scale her business. We want to show that a modern Filipina entrepreneur is not just a participant, but a leader in the global digital landscape. This is our way of celebrating your growth and AI mindset," said Prep Palacios, Google Philippines Country Manager.

Why This Matters Now

If we don’t prioritize AI literacy for women today, we risk leaving them out of the most important economic conversations of tomorrow. Empowerment is about having a seat at the table, and in 2026, it’s all about maximizing digital potential.

By turning connectivity into capability, PLDT Home’s MMPH and Gemini Academy are ensuring that Filipino women aren't just spectators in the tech revolution. They are the ones leading it. It’s time to move beyond just getting online. It’s time to take charge.

When the world moves fast and the economy hits hard, don't just keep up, move at the speed of life with Maya Easy Credit and Personal Loan.

We often treat international news as a background hum: “Ay naa raman na sa Iran, layo ra sa Cebu” ("Oh, that's just in Iran; it's far from Cebu"). But in our interconnected world, "layo ra" is closer than we think. For those of us living in the Philippines, the distance between the Strait of Hormuz and our local gas station in Mandaue or a grocery aisle in Cebu is practically zero.

Lately, the headlines have been heavy. Ongoing volatility in the Middle East has sent shockwaves through the global energy market. As a region that provides a massive portion of the world’s petroleum, any instability acts like a stone thrown into a pond, and the Philippines is right in the path of the largest ripples.

As a professional juggling a career, school, and the general "hustle" of Filipino middle-class life, I’ve realized that global crises don’t just stay in the news, and they don’t care about your job title. They show up in our monthly billing statements, our Grab fares, and the price of a simple kilo of rice. In short, when life hits, it hits fast.

Why Everything is Getting More Expensive

The Philippines buys most of its oil from other countries. When there is trouble in the Middle East, the global price of oil goes up instantly. This does not just affect people with cars; it affects the cost of almost everything we buy.

Think of it like a chain reaction. When gas prices go up, it costs more for trucks to bring vegetables from the farm to the city, so those vegetables become more expensive at the market. When the fuel used by power plants costs more, your electricity bill goes up too.

This means "biglaang gastos" (sudden expenses) are not always caused by our own choices. Often, they are caused by global events that are totally out of our control, making our daily needs more expensive than we planned for.

The Moment of Realization: A Tuesday Afternoon "Sticker Shock"

A few weeks ago, I had my own "Ginoo Ko!" moment. It wasn't while reading a financial broadsheet; it was while standing at the gas pump and the checkout counter.

The "Oil Crisis" stopped being a headline and started being a hole in my pocket. I remember when a full tank for my PCX 160 was just around ₱400+. Then, just two weeks ago, that same full tank jumped to ₱600+. By yesterday? It hit ₱700+.

I stood there calculating the gap. That’s nearly double what I used to pay for the same commute. Then, I went to the grocery store for the basics I buy every two weeks. I had a mental budget of what that basket usually costs, but when the cashier scanned the final item, the total was nearly 20% higher than it was just a month ago.

Between the fuel surcharges added to logistics and the rising cost of my PCX 160 refills, my "routine" life had become an "unexpected bill." I didn't want to use my emergency savings for groceries, but I needed to finish the transaction. This is the reality of the modern Filipino: we need to move at the speed of life, even when that life gets expensive.

Maya Easy Credit: Your Instant Extra Budget

This is where my relationship with the Maya app shifted. I realized that in an unpredictable global economy, agility is more important than just having a high income. I opened the app, tapped the Loans tab, and looked at Maya Easy Credit.

Maya understands that short-term gaps shouldn't stop your momentum. For those "inflation hiccups" at the gas station or the sudden spike in your monthly utility bill, Maya Easy Credit acts as your instant extra budget.

Up to ₱50,000: A revolving credit line that grows with you.
Instant Approval: I didn't have to fill out a single form or wait for a bank manager while standing in the checkout line.
Hassle-Free: No paperwork. No collateral. No long lines. Just quick access to funds.
Flexible Repayment: Pay up to 30 days later, making it the perfect tool for short-term, unexpected expenses.

With a few taps, the funds were in my Maya Wallet. I paid for my groceries via QR, bridge financing that "inflation gap" until my next paycheck. It wasn’t about being "short" on money; it was about being smart with my cash flow.

Thinking Bigger: Scaling Up Amidst the Chaos

While Easy Credit handles the "now," the global crisis also affects our sudden plans for the future. When inflation rises, the "value" of waiting often goes down. If you’ve been planning to upgrade your home office to starting your own business or invest in a professional certification to increase your earning power, waiting might mean the price will be even higher next month due to rising tech costs or fuel-driven logistics fees.

Instead of letting the global economy dictate your timeline, Maya Personal Loan allows you to fund those bigger plans while things are still within reach.

Borrow up to ₱250,000: This is for the "Big Moves," tuition fees, business equipment, or home improvements that can't wait.
Repayment up to 24 Months: Choose a term that fits your monthly budget, providing predictability in an unpredictable world.
Streamlined Process: From application to disbursement, everything happens within the app. It’s fast, hassle-free, and designed for people who don't have time for traditional bank bureaucracy.

The "New Normal" of Financial Resilience

The Middle East oil crisis is a reminder that we are all global citizens. We cannot isolate ourselves from the world’s problems, but we can insulate our finances. Authentic financial literacy today isn't just about saving every cent; it’s about resource management. Using Maya Lending products isn't just "borrowing"; it’s using a digital safety net. It’s knowing that even when the world outside feels unpredictable, your financial tools are steady, reliable, and right in your pocket.

Resilience in Your Pocket

The headlines about oil and the Middle East will likely continue to fluctuate. While we watch the news with hope for stability, we must also look at our own phones with a sense of strategy.

The next time you’re at a gas station and see the price per liter has ticked up again, or the next time an "unexpected bill" arrives because of rising commodity costs, don't panic. Take a breath, open your Maya app, and see what’s available to you.

We are resilient people. We know how to navigate storms, both literal and economic. With Maya, you have the power to move at the speed of life, no matter what the global headlines say.

Ready to build your own safety net? Open your Maya app today and check the 'Loans' icon. Whether you need the instant cushion of Maya Easy Credit or the long-term support of a Maya Personal Loan, Maya is there to make sure you never miss a beat.

Jollibee Philippines is stepping up its sustainability efforts by embedding energy- and water-efficient technologies across its store network, highlighted by a milestone in Enrile, Tuguegarao City. Here, Jollibee opened the country’s first quick-service restaurant to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) O+M certification from the U.S. Green Building Council, a globally recognized standard for environmentally responsible buildings.

Jollibee Hits Sustainability Milestone with PH’s First LEED-Certified Store

LEED O+M, which stands for Operations and Maintenance, evaluates how existing buildings are run on a day-to-day basis, covering energy and water efficiency, waste management, and indoor environmental quality. This means the recognition goes beyond design, highlighting how the restaurant consistently operates with sustainability in practice.

The development positions Jollibee among the early adopters of operations-driven sustainability in the local fast-food industry, setting a benchmark for smarter, more efficient restaurant management that delivers both cost savings and long-term environmental impact.

As businesses face rising electricity costs and growing climate concerns, the company said it is moving beyond compliance by integrating sustainability into how its stores are designed, built, and operated.

“Sustainability is integrated into how we design and operate our stores as we continue to evolve and improve across the network,” said Jollibee Philippines president Ferns Yu, Jr. “We will continue to strengthen this commitment as we build more stores and support the communities we serve.”

A First in Philippine QSR

Opened in November 2024, the Enrile branch was designed and built with sustainability features that were subsequently validated and certified under the LEED program, which measures a building’s performance in energy use, water efficiency, and overall environmental impact. This certification marks a first for the quick-service restaurant sector in the Philippines.

The store incorporates several green technologies:

Rooftop solar panels: Can reduce electricity consumption by up to 30%.
Solar water heating systems: Utilized for kitchen operations.
Solar window films: Minimize indoor heat and reduce air conditioning demand.
High-efficiency hardware: Includes high-efficiency motors and LED lighting.

Water conservation features are also integrated into daily operations, including motion-sensor faucets, a rainwater harvesting system, and an on-site wastewater treatment facility that allows water to be reused for cleaning and maintenance.

These initiatives are part of the Jollibee Group’s “Joy for Tomorrow” program, which promotes sustainability across food, people, and planet. The company plans to expand the use of energy- and water-efficient systems in more stores nationwide. By embedding sustainability into its core operations, Jollibee is positioning itself to address environmental challenges while supporting long-term business growth.

Enriched Awesome Intelligence Designed for Everyday Life

Through the latest One UI 8.5, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G extend Samsung’s latest AI innovations to more users, with Awesome Intelligence that helps people get more things done with ease while unlocking new ways to create and stay productive.

Voice Transcription is new to the Voice Recorder app, making it easier to revisit important details from meetings, lectures or calls by quickly transcribing and translating call recordings or turning voicemail audio into text. AI Select[1] is easier to access with a long press on the Edge Panel, surfacing relevant actions directly on the screen to extract text or create content without manually selecting items. AI Select also supports Drag & Drop in Multi-Window layout, allowing users to easily move images into Samsung Notes or Photo Editor for faster editing and improved productivity.

Awesome Intelligence makes everyday photo editing easier than ever. Object Eraser[2] now delivers more natural results when removing unwanted distractions, like a passerby in the background or clutter in a café. On Galaxy A57 5G, Best Face[3] supports more photos and continuous shooting, making it easier to capture the perfect group photos where everyone looks their best. Fan favorite tools like Filters and Edit Suggestions[4] help users quickly refine and share moments without extra effort, while Galaxy A57 5G also features Auto Trim[5] for even easier video editing.

Circle to Search with Google[6] adds multi-object recognition so users can easily explore multiple items in an image at once — from an outfit to surrounding accessories — all in one search.

The new Galaxy A series expands Awesome Intelligence experiences with a choice of agents designed to simplify everyday tasks from search to organizing plans or easily adjusting settings. As a conversational device agent, upgraded Bixby[7] lets users intuitively control Galaxy settings and features using natural language, while Gemini[1] navigates complex tasks across native Galaxy apps and select third-party apps to support faster, more intuitive interactions.

Awesome Camera to Capture Clearer Photos and Videos, Day or Night

As AI becomes more deeply integrated into mobile experiences, camera performance remains essential to delivering the everyday usability and satisfaction users expect.

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G deliver brighter, clearer visuals powered by the upgraded camera hardware and an improved Image Signal Processor (ISP).[2] The devices feature a versatile triple-camera system, led by a 50MP main sensor[3], delivering sharp, detailed images across a wide range of lighting conditions without the need for manual adjustments.

When the lights go down, the Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G camera adapts seamlessly with improved Nightography[4], capturing clear and true-to-life photos and videos even in low light conditions.

Galaxy A57 5G takes photography a step further with enhanced image processing that sharpens detail and reduces noise for even clearer, more vibrant results. It delivers rich contrast and balanced color even in challenging light, while with a faster shutter speed, users can instantly capture fleeting moments faster and with improved clarity.[5]

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G also benefit from AI-based subject recognition and scene optimization to balance portraits, preserve natural skin tones and create clearer background separation. When the moment calls for a wider perspective, the ultra-wide lens captures more in every group photo or landscape view, while the 5MP macro camera reveals fine details up close for added creative flexibility.

Performance for Streaming and Multitasking

Galaxy A57 5G delivers the best of both design and performance[6], combining upgraded CPU, GPU and NPU to deliver improved performance with its sleek and light form. Built for smooth streaming, scrolling and content creation, its refined design features a glossy finish and distinctive triple-camera island for a standout modern look that feels comfortable in-hand.

Despite its slimmer profile, Galaxy A57 5G packs powerful performance. Its 5,000mAh[1] battery supports up to two days of use[2] — powering everything from filming and editing to viewing on the go. Slimmer bezels and a bright Super AMOLED + display with Vision Booster ensure an immersive, clear viewing experience indoors and outside.

Built for everyday use, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G are rated IP68[3] for water and dust resistance, adding durability in real-world environments and offering users peace of mind when accidents happen.

Long-Term Support and Foundational Security

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G reinforce Samsung’s commitment to device longevity, offering up to six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades, along with up to six years of security updates[4] – giving users the confidence to rely on their device for years to come.

Samsung provides a fortified layer of device safety, transparency and user choice with Knox Vault[5], a hardware-based, tamper-resistant security solution. Galaxy A series offers users holistic protection through innovative security and privacy features including Security & Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Private Sharing, Theft Protection as well as the new Private Album, a Gallery feature that allows users to lock away personal media quickly and easily. Unlike traditional safeguards, the latest A series devices also proactively notify users about potential risks with Privacy Alerts, which are intelligent notifications that offer clearer insight and control over location permissions or suspicious monitoring of sensitive data. Together, these enhancements make security feel as intuitive as the rest of the experience, making device protection easier than ever for everyone.

Availability

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G is now available in Samsung Authorized Stores nationwide. Galaxy A57 5G will be offered in Awesome Navy, Awesome Gray, Awesome Icyblue and Awesome Lilac,[6] while Galaxy A37 5G comes in Awesome Lavender, Awesome Charcoal, Awesome Graygreen, and Awesome White.[7]
