Petron Corporation, the country’s leading oil company and a trusted name among Filipino motorists, proudly introduces Petron Sprint Scooter Oil, the newest product in its motorcycle engine oil line. Designed specifically for scooter engines, it delivers reliable performance and protection that Filipino riders can count on every day.

Petron Knows You

Across the Philippines, more and more riders are taking to the road on scooters. They are easier to maneuver, making them ideal and practical for navigating traffic or traveling long distances. For millions of Filipinos, owning a scooter is not just about convenience—it represents freedom, independence, and control over their time.

Having your own motorcycle gives you true freedom of mobility. You are no longer limited by the schedule or routes of public transportation. You can leave whenever you need to and go wherever you have to.

Whether it’s heading to work, taking care of your family, running errands, or going for a weekend ride just to unwind, having a scooter makes daily life easier and more flexible. It is not just a ride—it is a tool that helps you move faster and live more independently every day, but it also comes with responsibilities like maintenance, insurance, and fuel costs, but that is all part of taking good care of your motorcycle.

Every day on the road brings its own challenges. From the heavy traffic in major thoroughfares such as C5, EDSA, and Commonwealth, to unpredictable weather, rough roads, steep climbs, and long, non-stop rides, both riders and their motorcycles are constantly put to the test.

Petron Got You

Petron understands what Filipino riders face every day, that is why Petron Sprint Scooter Oil was developed—to keep every scooter running smoothly and reliably, no matter what the road brings.

We are confident—kumpiyansa tayo— in our Petron Sprint Scooter Oil because:

  • Confidence in quality. It has the right viscosity and one of the highest API ratings in the country—even exceeding what scooter engines currently requires.
  • Confidence that it is suitable in local road conditions. It performs well in traffic, long rides, uphill roads, and continuous operation under heat or rain.
  • Confidence in formulation. It is blended in Petron’s modern facility, one of the top oil blending plants in Southeast Asia, ensuring consistency and reliability.

Built with high quality in mind and priced affordably, it keeps scooters performing at their best every single day.

“We understand the daily challenges of scooter riders—that’s why we developed Petron Sprint Scooter Oil,” said Mr. Virgilio V. Centeno, VP for Industrial Sales. “It was designed to make everyday rides smoother and worry-free, offering high-quality and value-for-money that riders can truly count on.”

Peace of Mind

A truly dependable oil gives riders more than engine protection—it gives them peace of mind. With Petron Sprint Scooter Oil, riders can take on their daily trips with confidence, knowing their scooter will perform smoothly in any condition. Whether it is a morning commute, a delivery route, or a weekend ride, Petron Sprint ensures consistent performance and protection.

When the engine runs smoothly, every journey becomes easier. Riders can focus on what really matters—getting to their destination safely, comfortably, and without worry.

Subok Sa Bawat Ride

The launch of Petron Sprint Scooter Oil celebrates the everyday Filipino rider who faces the road with confidence and determination.

Proven in daily commutes.

Proven through long hours on the road, under extreme heat or in the rain.

Proven in non-stop runs, whether for deliveries or with a passenger.

Proven on long rides that stay the course, even on uphill climbs.

This is the oil made for the #ScooterNation, for Filipinos who move with confidence, powered by Petron.

The Power of Flexible Learning: OEd (Online Education) Leads the Shift Toward a Future-Ready, Flexible Workforce

In today’s fast-moving world, Filipinos are expected to juggle everything at once — careers, family responsibilities, personal dreams, and the constant pursuit of a better life. With so much on our plates, education can no longer remain tied to fixed schedules or four walls. Learning must move with us, grow with us, and fit the reality we live every day. This is the driving force behind OEd (Online Education), a bold commitment to one transformative idea— Education should adapt to you, not the other way around.

A Rebrand Rooted in Real Lives

From working parents and young professionals to returning students and global Filipinos, today’s learners come from diverse backgrounds with equally diverse needs. OEd (Online Education) embraces this reality through a model built on three pillars:

  • Start Anytime
  • Extend Anytime
  • Study at Your Own Pace

This approach breaks away from traditional semestral calendars and fixed timetables, aligning instead with how people actually live and learn today.

For many Filipinos, this flexibility means education finally fits into their rhythm — whether studying after a night shift, catching up on modules during a quiet weekend, or opening lessons from a café or overseas. As countless student stories show, OEd (Online Education) becomes a supportive partner, not a constraint.

A Strategic Shift for the Modern Workforce

From a business perspective, the rebrand strengthens the institution’s role in developing a skilled, future-ready workforce.

As industries evolve and digital transformation accelerates, continuous learning becomes essential. OEd (Online Education) addresses this need with:

  • Programs from SHS to Doctorate
  • Industry-aligned curriculum
  • 24/7 accessible learning systems
  • Flexible pacing ideal for working professionals

With most Filipino learners also being breadwinners, employees, or entrepreneurs, the ability to earn a degree while staying productive is a major advantage. OEd (Online Education) supports economic mobility by making education more accessible, more flexible, and more aligned with real-world demands.

Grounded in Modern Educational Principles

Beyond convenience, the rebrand reflects a deeper academic shift toward:

  • Learner autonomy
  • Asynchronous, self-paced learning
  • Competency-based progression
  • Improved accessibility for nontraditional students

This student-first philosophy is key to modern education. By empowering learners to control when and how they study, OEd (Online Education) promotes mastery, reduces stress, and removes long-standing barriers that once hindered thousands of Filipinos from earning a degree.

Its extensive offerings — spanning Senior High School to Doctoral programs — also create a full learning ecosystem, allowing seamless academic progression in one institution.

Stories That Reflect the Filipino Experience

What truly defines OEd (Online Education) are the people it serves:

  • A call center agent studying during lunch breaks
  • An OFW earning a degree abroad without sacrificing employment
  • A parent returning to school after raising a family
  • A creative professional balancing shoots, business tasks, and coursework

These are not extraordinary cases — they are the real faces of modern education in the Philippines.

The Future of Learning Is Flexible

As the Philippines advances in its digital shift, OEd (Online Education) leads the movement toward inclusive, adaptable, and responsive education. Its rebrand is more than a refreshed look; it is a renewed commitment to meet students where they are, support their goals, and ensure learning remains accessible to all.

Goodbye Traditional, Hello Flexible is more than a declaration — It is a promise that your goals, your time, and your life matter.

Ready to take control of your future?

Start your journey with OEd (Online Education) — where your schedule, your goals, and your life come first.

Enroll Anytime. Study Anywhere. Learn at Your Own Pace. Let your education move with you.

Le Pont Residences: A New Chapter in Elevated Living

There comes a moment when success feels less like reaching a destination and more like shaping a life that mirrors one’s evolution — deliberate, discerning, and grounded in quiet confidence.

It is this moment that inspires Le Pont Residences by RLC Residences — a development envisioned as a bridge between ambition and arrival, gracefully rising on a ±7,220-sqm expanse within Bridgetowne Destination Estate, the master-planned community that connects Pasig and Quezon City.

Named after the French word for “the bridge,” Le Pont Residences stands as a quiet symbol of transition — where vision transforms into fulfillment. It is an address for those who are ready for their next chapter, designed for individuals who have built their momentum and are now curating a life that reflects it.

Here, thoughtfully designed single- to four-bedroom residences and bi-level penthouse suites invite freedom and flexibility, offering spaces that evolve with every rhythm — whether as a personal space, a family sanctuary, or a seamless home office. Smart home features, elegant finishes, and sweeping views of the estate redefine what it means to live well — not in excess, but in essence. Each ±43- to ±380-sqm unit also includes a private loggia that creates a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. As the only EDGE-certified residential development within Bridgetowne, Le Pont Residences offers the advantage of cost-efficient, eco-conscious living without compromise.

Every detail — from personal living spaces to its collection of hyper-sized amenities — has been designed to support both play and productivity. Thoughtful features such as an infinity pool, indoor open lounges, an indoor cycling room, a yoga room, landscaped areas, and wellness zones encourage balance amidst the pace of modern life. With Tower 1 set for turnover by the third quarter of 2029 and Tower 2 by the first quarter of  2031, Le Pont Residences stands as an investment opportunity that allows future homeowners the time and flexibility to prepare for the life they envision in their next chapter.

“Le Pont Residences reflects a new way of living — one that honors how far our homeowners have come, while creating space for where they want to go next. It is thoughtfully designed for people who see home as a continuation of their personal evolution,” shares Dan Torres, RLC Residences’ Head of Marketing.

Le Pont Residences embodies the vision of those who move ahead with purpose — individuals who see home not merely as a reward, but as the next expression of their story. The development aptly captures RLC Residences’ vision of bridging home seekers to their best life by creating homes that are not just lived in, but lived with purpose.

PH–Germany Partnership Powers Systemic Climate and Ecological Transformation Through TRANSCEND Project

The partnership between the Government of the Philippines (GPH) and the Government of Germany continues to drive transformative climate and biodiversity action through the Transformative Actions for Climate and Ecological Protection and Development (TRANSCEND) Project — a joint initiative that strengthens climate governance, empowers communities, and protects ecosystems.

During the 2nd Project Steering Committee (PSC) Meeting, the Climate Change Commission (CCC) underscored the need to turn climate projects into lasting systems and institutional reforms that sustain impact beyond project cycles and empower communities to take climate action that endures.

“The Philippines’ climate response must move beyond isolated pilot projects toward coherent systems that sustain impact beyond budget cycles,” said CCC Vice Chairperson and Executive Director Robert E.A. Borje, speaking before partners from the Government of Germany, the United Nations, other government agencies, and non-government organizations.

“Our partnership must move beyond pilots. It must translate innovation into institutional practice, and good practice into national policy,” he added.

Jointly implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, the CCC, and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), the TRANSCEND Project embodies the Philippines–Germany partnership’s shared commitment to climate and ecological transformation. It aims to strengthen the country’s capacity to integrate climate and biodiversity priorities into planning, investment, and policy — ensuring that climate action and ecosystem protection advance hand in hand.

Borje highlighted the CCC’s initiatives to integrate climate resilience into regular government operations by strengthening policies and financing mechanisms that link plans, budgets, and outcomes. These include scaling up Local Climate Change Expenditure Tagging (LCCET) to improve transparency in public spending, accelerating the People’s Survival Fund (PSF) for community- and nature-based adaptation projects, and integrating climate criteria in procurement to make green and resilient practices standard across agencies.

He noted that sustainable resilience depends on “systems that align, financing that rewards outcomes, and institutions that endure,” adding that these principles guide President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s administration in pursuing systemic, evidence-based, and inclusive climate governance.

Running from 2025 to 2029, TRANSCEND aligns with national frameworks such as the National Adaptation Plan (NAP), Nationally Determined Contribution Implementation Plan (NDCIP), and the Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (PBSAP). The project seeks to institutionalize transformative, evidence-based actions that promote inclusive, nature-positive, and sustainable growth.

DENR Undersecretary Analiza Rebuelta-Teh welcomed the project’s role in strengthening convergence between climate and biodiversity efforts.

The Climate Change Commission (CCC), led by Vice Chairperson and Executive Director Robert E.A. Borje, joined partners from Germany, the United Nations, government agencies, and non-government organizations at the 2nd Project Steering Committee Meeting of the TRANSCEND Project to review progress and align strategies for nature-positive resilience.

“This meeting allows us to assess milestones, address gaps, and ensure our actions advance both climate resilience and ecosystem protection,” she said.

German Ambassador to the Philippines Dr. Andreas Michael Pfaffernoschke reaffirmed Germany’s support, emphasizing that climate change is a shared responsibility requiring collective resolve.

“Our two countries will continue to work as strong and constructive partners in addressing one of the most pressing challenges of humankind,” he said.

The ambassador added that the warming of the planet should not be viewed merely as a threat but as a challenge that calls for stronger commitment. He stressed that this should motivate nations to push harder toward ensuring a sustainable and livable planet for future generations.

The 2nd PSC meeting reviewed project progress and ensured strategic alignment for the coming years, including monitoring and evaluation systems to measure tangible outcomes such as reduced risks, restored ecosystems, and improved access to sustainable services.

Among those present were CCC Commissioner Rachel Anne S. Herrera, who facilitated discussions on some agenda items; Undersecretary Henry Yap Sr. of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD); GIZ Country Director Dr. Immanuel Gebhardt; and representatives from the DENR, DHSUD, Department of Transportation (DOTr), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), and other partner agencies and organizations.

Borje concluded that the long-term success of TRANSCEND depends on building coherence across policies, financing, and institutions, ensuring that the project contributes not only to immediate climate and biodiversity goals but also to lasting reforms in public governance.

“If we do our work right — with discipline, courage, and constancy — TRANSCEND will not just transform cities; it will transform governance itself,” he said.

Through the TRANSCEND partnership, the Philippines and Germany reaffirm their shared goal of strengthening resilience, accelerating adaptation, and promoting low-carbon and biodiversity-friendly development across the country.

The Climate Change Commission (CCC) brought together a diverse group of civil society organizations, private sector representatives, and government agencies for a consultation aimed at consolidating a strong, unified, and inclusive Philippine position for the upcoming 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)  in Belém, Brazil.

The event featured a presentation on the outcomes of the 62nd session of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies (SB62), setting the stage for focused discussions. Lead government agencies, including the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Energy, Department of Finance, Department of Labor and Employment, and Department of Economy, Planning, and Development, delivered briefings on the COP30 outlook across six key priority workstreams: Adaptation; Mitigation & Article 6; Loss and Damage; Climate Finance; Just Transition & Technology; and Transparency. Insights and recommendations gathered will inform the country’s national positions and negotiation strategies for COP30.

Reflecting on the journey of climate action in the Philippines, the CCC acknowledged the crucial role of civil society and community-based organizations in translating climate policies into tangible benefits for the people, particularly the most vulnerable.

The Climate Change Commission (CCC) collaborates with civil society organizations and the private sector during the 2nd Multistakeholder Consultation for 2025 to strengthen the Philippines’ position for the upcoming COP30 climate talks in November.

“This consultation reaffirms that we can only confront the climate crisis effectively through partnership grounded in trust, transparency, and shared responsibility. We are making sure that citizen participation becomes a foundation of this type of engagement,” CCC Vice Chairperson and Executive Director Robert E.A. Borje said, underscoring that this event is part of a continuous effort to develop robust and strong consultative mechanism. “We must work together, across all sectors, institutions, and communities, to close coordination gaps and ensure that every voice, particularly those of the most vulnerable, is meaningfully represented.”

Lead government agencies delivered briefings on the COP30 outlook across six key priority workstreams. Insights and recommendations gathered will inform the country’s national positions and negotiation strategies for COP30.

“Moving further ahead, there are other stakeholders who would like to be involved also. We will endeavor to make it a more substantial participation from our CSO partners and also from the business and the academe,” he added.

The consultation was attended by representatives from various civil society organizations, including Aksyon Klima Pilipinas; Center for Energy Ecology, and Development; Family Planning/Population, Health, and Environment Network; Forest Foundation Philippines; Health Care Without Harm; Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities; Kabataang Resilient Network; Klima Center – Manila Observatory; Living Laudato Si Philippines; National Resilience Council; NGOs for Fisheries Reform; Oxfam Pilipinas; Parabukas; WWF Philippines; UNICEF; Net Zero Carbon Alliance; Reboot Philippines; Rare Inc.; and Save the Children. Representatives from the private sector include Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Ayala Corporation, First Philippine Holdings, and Energy Development Corporation.

The CCC continues to strengthen its collaboration with non-state actors, moving beyond one-time consultations towards sustained, institutionalized partnership for continuous dialogue and joint climate action.

Exquisitely Crafted since 1930

For 95 years, King Sue Ham has stood as a proud symbol of heritage, dedication, and family tradition. What began in 1930 with Cu Un Kay hand-crafting hams in Manila using a humble cauldron and fire bricks has grown into one of the most trusted Filipino food brands—without ever compromising on its original essence. From the very beginning, the mission was simple: create food that brings families together, captures the warmth of home, and honors the values of hard work and integrity. Nearly a century later, that mission remains unchanged.

The King family’s journey is a testament to perseverance across generations. Through war, political disruptions, and changing times, King Sue never wavered. While many businesses struggled to survive, King Sue continued to nourish households with premium-quality ham, carefully cured and smoked with the same attention to detail that Cu Un Kay first perfected. “Our brand survived not because of shortcuts, but because we never forgot who we are or who we serve,” says Richie Brian King, Operations Manager and fourth-generation leader. “We carry our Lolo’s determination in everything we do.”

Each decade brought growth guided by family collaboration and forward-thinking leadership. From the pioneering food technology expertise of the second generation to modernization and innovation in the 1980s and ’90s, King Sue evolved while protecting tradition at its core. State-of-the-art machines were introduced, distribution expanded, yet the heart of every product remained rooted in heritage. Today, the iconic Chinese Bone-In Ham continues to embody mastery and tradition—lovingly prepared with the same flavor profile that has delighted generations.

As King Sue approaches its 100-year milestone, it stands as a proud reminder that true flavor—and true family legacy—never fades. Every slice tells a story of resilience, unity, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. “We honor the past by staying true to it,” Richie shares. “Because flavor made with patience, passion, and family spirit is timeless.” From one family to countless homes across the Philippines and beyond, King Sue remains more than a Christmas staple—it is a celebration of heritage, craftsmanship, and the enduring power of family tradition.

RePlay (Reinventing Play), an organization of thought leaders and experts on play-based learning, is inviting teachers, parents, and play advocates to the first-ever RePlay Summit—a day dedicated to discovering the importance of purposeful play in early childhood development. This event will take place on November 15, 2025, at Museo Pambata, just in time for World Children’s Month.

With the theme Pledge to Play for a Better Tomorrow, the RePlay Summit will feature insightful talks, interactive play areas, enriching forums, and more that aim to equip attendees with the tools to help raise creative, resilient, and empathetic children. The event will become a space for learning and engaging with a community that is united by the goal of nurturing growth through curiosity, creativity, and connection.

The summit sets the stage for an incredible lineup of speakers, led by De La Salle University Professor and Educational Consultant Ms. Maricar Gustilo-De Ocampo as the keynote speaker. She will be talking about “The Past, Present, and Future of PLAY.” Joining her are Ms. Nina Lim-Yuson, Founder of Museo Pambata, to share her kindness story, and Ms. Laila Pornel-Espital, Founder of The Weekend Wild Child, who will discuss the beauty of risky and outdoor play. Ms. Inah Salazar, Executive Director of Love Education Philippines, will also be sharing her knowledge about the connection between children and the natural world.

The afternoon session highlights “The Art of Building a Kinder World,” a talk by Ms. Bambi Mañosa-Tanjutco, former President of Museo Pambata. There will also be a forum entitled “Play Landscapes: A Forum on Play Through Diverse Lenses.” This will spotlight different approaches to learning through play—from the Reggio Emilia method and the playful power of music to the importance of inclusive and mindful play. The forum will be led by experts who are equally passionate about learning through play and sharing their knowledge and experiences with fellow educators and play advocates.

In addition to the thought-enriching sessions, the summit will offer hands-on activities to bring the summit’s themes to life. Attendees will be invited to explore engagement stations with play invitations, participate in fun and educational games, and enjoy full access to the Museo Pambata exhibits. The Happy Blue House will also be present as a collaborator to make the event more fruitful for the participants.

Since its inception in 2022, RePlay (Reinventing Play) has championed the belief that play is not just an activity but a transformative approach to learning. What began during the pandemic as a way to creatively and sustainably use toys for child development has grown into a thriving community of curious minds and passionate play advocates.

“At RePlay, we believe that speaking the children’s language is the best way to reach and teach them. We listen and observe their cues, and we are always guided by our core values and methods—mindfulness, harmony, sustainability, connection, and kindness. In everything that we do, we show our commitment to empower teachers, parents, and volunteers of all ages to tap into the limitless potential of play. By championing this at the RePlay summit, we hope to help create educational experiences that are collaborative, creative, and child-centric,” Teacher Phi Anh, RePlay’s Founder and Kindness Coach, shares as she encourages more play advocates to join the summit. 

Be part of the RePlay Summit 2025: Pledge to Play for a Better Tomorrow. Register through linktr.ee/reinventingplay. Tickets are priced at P3,000 for onsite attendees and P2,500 for online participants. This includes access to all summit activities, learning materials, a guided tour of Museo Pambata, a Certificate of Attendance, and lifelong insights into the transformative power of purposeful play in early childhood development.

OPPO Find X9 Series: Engineering Elegance Built to Last

The OPPO Find series has long represented the seamless fusion of ambitious technology and sophisticated design. With the OPPO Find X9, this principle evolves even further—introducing a new standard of elegance that feels natural in hand while delivering remarkable advancements in camera innovation and battery performance.

Redesigned for Ultimate Elegance

The OPPO Find X9 unveils a fresh design perspective, with the camera system now elegantly positioned in the top-left corner. The module is 15% smaller than the previous generation, despite housing larger sensors and more advanced lenses. This new placement not only enhances the phone’s visual harmony but also improves comfort, allowing the user’s finger to rest naturally away from the lenses when holding the device.

This ergonomic refinement is made possible by OPPO’s Floating Stack Architecture, a result of years of engineering designed to maximize vertical space. Multiple components—including the triple cameras, multi-spectrum sensor, laser focus module, and microphone—are carefully integrated beneath the camera housing. The motherboard layout is 13% denser and 10.5mm shorter than before, optimizing internal space and making room for a larger battery.

The high-density OPPO Silicon-Carbon Battery further enhances endurance, offering a 7,025mAh capacity—an increase of 24.7% from the previous generation—while maintaining a slim profile.

Beauty, Inside and Out

Every detail of the Find X9 reflects OPPO’s commitment to craftsmanship. The back cover is crafted using a one-piece glass process that naturally flows into the metal frame, creating a minimalist and unified look.

The Find X9 also features a new-generation flat display with ultra-thin, symmetrical 1.15mm bezels on all sides, creating a near-borderless viewing experience. Precision techniques, such as Low Injection Pressure Overmolding (LIPO) and upgraded 3D display installation, strengthen the screen’s base while improving durability and moisture resistance—ensuring long-lasting clarity and performance.

Available in Titanium Grey, Space Black, and Velvet Red, each finish carries a matte texture that resists fingerprints and adds a refined touch of luxury.

Defense, Refined

Beyond beauty, the OPPO Find X9 is built to endure. Its motherboard uses an ultra-high-strength panel reinforced with 316L steel, creating a solid foundation for everyday durability. The device is protected by Corning® Gorilla® Glass 7i, enhanced through OPPO’s exclusive chemical ion exchange process, and has earned the Swiss SGS Five-Star Overall Drop Resistance certification.

With IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, the Find X9 stands up to dust, water submersion, and even high-pressure, high-temperature water jets up to 80°C. Combined with OPPO’s Splash Touch technology, it remains responsive even in wet conditions.

The OPPO Find X9 redefines balance—merging strength with sophistication, performance with comfort. Slim and effortlessly stylish, it’s designed to fit seamlessly into any lifestyle, ready for both everyday moments and grand adventures alike.

To know more about the OPPO Find X9, visit OPPO Philippines’ official website at www.oppo.com/ph/ or OPPO Philippines’ official social media pages on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.
