The China Chamber of International Commerce Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with COLAB Ventures Corporation (COLAB) as its official Philippine representative, successfully concluded a three-day business mission to the Philippines from August 17 to 19, 2025.
The delegation, composed of executives from Dongguan City’s leading technology and manufacturing enterprises, visited key institutions and organizations including the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) and the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI). The visit aimed to explore potential partnerships, investments, and expansion opportunities in the country.

Such ventures are expected to generate local employment, foster technology transfer, and strengthen the Philippines’ position as Southeast Asia’s emerging export hub.
COLAB Ventures Corporation, as the official Philippine representative, facilitated the engagement sessions and underscored the mutual benefits of enhanced China-Philippines business collaboration.
“This visit reflects Dongguan’s vision of international cooperation and the Philippines’ commitment to welcoming high-value investments that will support inclusive economic growth,” said a COLAB Chief Executive Officer, Karen Tui.

Tech experts, gadget geeks, content creators, vloggers and media gathered in a historic evening of glam as DJI Philippines officially introduced its first 360 action camera – the Osmo 360 in an exclusive launch at Xylo at the Palace in Taguig City last August 23, 2025.
This revolutionary action camera expanded functionality, elevating its utilization to further demonstrate how this pocket size camera can do most of the work without compromising quality.
Branding meets creativity at the DJI Osmo 360 Grand Launch! Host Steffi sparked an exciting convo with Gadget Pilipinas, Ungeek, and Unbox PH on how DJI is redefining storytelling and brand experiences. #DJIOsmo360 #GrandLaunch
A video reveal of Osmo 360 wowed the attendees of the launch. A product presentation by Joey Andrada enlightened the guests on how Osmo 360’s innovative features will level up their video contents, making them more interesting to their viewers and subscribers.
Image Quality to its finest
DJI Osmo 360 delivers its crisp, sharp, vivid photos to life with its 1-inch 360 imaging. It is the first to introduce the square HDR image sensor that maintains the same 360 image field as a traditional 1-inch rectangular sensor. Having this square sensor eliminates the unused area of traditional rectangular sensors, resulting in 25% more sensor utilization, providing outstanding image quality, and lower power consumption.
DJI officially entered the 360 camera market with the launch of the Osmo 360. This marks the beginning of a new chapter in immersive content creation. Imagine what’s coming next. #DJIOsmo360 #DJIGrandLaunch
Osmo 360 is the first 360 camera to shoot ultra high spec: 8k/50fps 360 video and the only 360 camera that can shoot continuously for 100 minutes at 8K/30fps. Its large pixel size, double the industry’s standard size of 1.2, captures more picture details, less noise, better low-light performance and higher dynamic range, setting a new standard for video resolution in 360 cameras.
Osmo 360 captures ultra-clear 360 photos up to 120 megapixels, achieving razor-sharp detail for still images.
Responding to the changing needs
Osmo 360 ultra-compact, lightweight camera body provides other interesting features that answer the needs of its users.
With Osmo 360, switching between the front and rear lens without stopping recording is perfect for those capturing travel vlogs in one seamless take. Its single lens mode can be used as a first-person action camera while its boost mode provides even a broader 170 degree field of view and smooth 4K/120 fps video.
This camera is convenient for content creators on the go as this camera has 105 GB of built-in storage. Since Osmo 360 is lightweight, you can carry it with ease. Its advanced stacked design allows the camera to pack two large 1-inch 360 imaging lens modules into one, ultra compact body.
Built to withstand extreme weather conditions, Osmo 360 is capable of recording for over 1.5 hours in freezing conditions as low as -20 degrees celsius.
Battery life is not a problem with the Osmo 360 Battery Extension Rod. For 12 minutes, Osmo 360 reaches 50% power.
Your All-in-One Adventure Companion
DJI’s Osmo 360 is an all-in-one adventure companion of every filmmaker, videographer, vlogger, and content creator who is passionate in creating crisp, vivid, and real video contents using a small, smart yet revolutionary action camera.
Other smart features such as HorizonSteady and RockSteady help in image stabilization. Its gesture and voice control allow users to start and stop recording with a simple palm gesture or use voice control to go hands-free. The invisible selfie stick vanishes from 360 videos with no editing required. The slow motion captures video in up to 4x slow motion mode, making every awe-inspiring moment last longer. It has multi-platform editing support using DJI Mimo or DJI Studio to help create stunning 360 videos.
The DJI Osmo 360 Grand Launch was made even more special with the presence of well-loved personalities Viy Cortez and Alodia Gosiengfiao. Their support highlights the growing excitement around DJI’s first 360 camera and its role in shaping the future of immersive content creation. #DJIOsmo360 #GrandLaunch
The magnetic quick release design of Osmo 360 is compatible with Osmo Action series accessories. Meanwhile, Osmo 360 offers OsmoAudio Direct Microphone Connection that allows users of Osmo 360 to connect directly to two DJI microphone transmitters without a receiver, capturing studio-quality sound.
These ultra advanced, compact action cameras are priced competitively. For Osmo 360 Standard Combo, it is priced at P24,490 that includes Osmo 360 camera, action extreme battery plus, protective pouch, lens cleaning cloth, USB-C to USB-C PD Cable (USB 3.1) and rubber lens protector.

Recently, a report released by the independent third-party research firm Sunpower Consulting Group revealed that TCL Fresh Air Air Conditioners ranked first in global sales in 2024. This significant lead demonstrates the widespread popularity of TCL’s FreshIN series among consumers and affirms TCL’s position as a global leader in the fresh air AC category.
Leading Global Sales in Fresh Air ACs, TCL Air Conditioners Secure Market Advantage through Early Deployment
Behind TCL’s No.1 ranking in global fresh air AC sales is its forward-thinking strategy and ongoing breakthroughs in technological innovation.
While most air conditioner brands remained focused on traditional cooling and heating functions, TCL quickly recognized the growing demand for smart and healthy air solutions and decisively initiated its strategic layout in the fresh air AC segment.
From launching its Global Fresh Air Strategy in 2021, to the release of FreshIN 3.0 in 2023, and the official launch of the fifth-generation FreshIN C7 in 2024, TCL has been steadily advancing, setting new industry standards in fresh air technology.
Take FreshIN 3.0 as an example: this next-generation fresh air AC offers upgraded user experiences through features such as healthy fresh air, AI voice control, and AI energy saving. By continuously introducing outdoor fresh air, it creates a healthier breathing environment—eliminating odors and dryness while reducing fatigue. It also features a Quadruple Noise Reduction System that reduces noise levels by 17%, supports offline voice control with sound source localization for directional airflow, and incorporates an AI energy-saving algorithm that adjusts operation based on indoor and outdoor conditions, achieving over 37% energy savings.
Thanks to these advanced features, FreshIN 3.0 was a standout at CES 2025, where it won the “Smart Fresh Air Technology Innovation Award” and captured widespread attention from industry experts and global consumers alike.
Global Deployment and Technological Leadership Drive Export Volume to Top Rankings in Multiple Countries
Amid the wave of globalization, TCL’s international expansion has accelerated. From global manufacturing to international brand operations, TCL’s overseas business now accounts for 65% of its total.
According to industry data, TCL ranked No.1 in export volume in the Philippines, Panama, Algeria, and Ukraine between January and December 2024. This clearly reflects TCL’s growing influence in the global fresh air AC segment.
TCL’s achievements are not only about sales growth but also stem from its deep understanding of fresh air technology trends, guiding the entire industry forward.
With growing consumer awareness of air quality and health, the global AC market is evolving from basic temperature control to comprehensive air quality management. TCL has stayed ahead by focusing on user-centered innovation and developing the industry’s most comprehensive fresh air product portfolio across all capacity and price ranges.
TCL’s global leadership in fresh air AC sales is the result of relentless innovation and strong execution of its globalization strategy, making it a top choice for consumers seeking smart and healthy living.
Deep Market Insights and Industry-Leading Manufacturing and R&D Capabilities
With over 20 years in the industry, TCL Air Conditioners operates 11 production bases in Zhongshan, Wuhan, Jiujiang, Nansha, Indonesia, and Brazil, with annual production capacity exceeding 38 million units and sales surpassing 20 million units annually. Its products are sold in over 160 countries and regions, ranking among the top three in domestic AC sales and top two in exports.
TCL excels in tailoring products to regional needs through local insights. For example, Middle Eastern models undergo extreme 60°C cooling tests, Nordic units are tested for -30°C heating performance, Southeast Asian units feature anti-rust evaporators for humid climates, and eco-friendly R290 refrigerant models meet European standards. This “global customization” reflects TCL’s commitment to superior international quality.
TCL’s R&D team of over 1,000 professionals leads in nine core technologies: Smart Fresh Air Technology for Deep Sleep Optimization, AI Energy-Saving Technology, High-Efficiency Quite Operation Fresh Air Technology, Energy-Saving Heat Pump Technology, High-Volume Fresh Air Low-Noise Technology, Compact High-efficiency Inverter Control Technology, Smart Gentle Breeze Technology, Strong Cooling in High Ambient Temperature Technology, and All-condition Operation Energy-Saving Smart Control Technology.
Today, TCL has evolved from a traditional HVAC manufacturer into a provider of smart and healthy air solutions. Moving forward, TCL will continue to focus on its “Smart & Healthy” positioning, expand its global footprint, and launch innovative products with high user value, further solidifying its leadership in the global market.
In an era where healthy air is a global consensus, TCL’s position as the world’s top-selling fresh air AC brand demonstrates both its responsibility and strength as an industry leader—empowering better breathing experiences for users worldwide through technology.
EVAP Formally Announces 13th PH Electric Vehicle Summit.
The Electric Vehicle Association of the Philippines (EVAP) maintains its confidence that the country’s electric vehicle (EV) sector would continue to gear up towards more sustainable, innovative, and transformative mobility for more Filipinos.
During the pre-event press conference of the 13th Philippine Electric Vehicle Summit (PEVS) held in Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City on August 27th, EVAP President Edmund Araga said he is expecting EV adoption in the country to further rise amid supportive government policies, consistent volatility in petrol costs, and the entry of more players. “It is high time to shift to EV. There are currently more choices when it comes to EV models and brands,” he said.
Actual sales of 4-wheeled EVs almost tripled in 2024 to 3,880 units from 1,028 units sold in 2023—a 277.5 percent spike, based on EV stakeholders’ submission compiled and released by the Department of Energy (DOE) and EVAP. Of the three categories of EVs, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for about 75 percent, while hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) comprised about 23 percent and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) was at about 2 percent.
For the 2- and 3-wheeled EVs, sales rocketed by 25,156 percent to 43,441 units in 2024 from just 172 in 2023. Of those units, almost 93 percent were Category L2 or 2-wheeled EVs. Category L1 or lower power 2-wheel EVs accounted for almost 7 percent, while category L5 or 3-wheeled motor EVs comprised of 0.28 percent.
Growing network of charging stations
The accelerating sales of EVs is logically complemented by a growing network of EV charging stations in at least key cities across the nation. The Comprehensive Roadmap
for the Electric Vehicle Industry (CREVI) aims to deploy 7,300 EV charging stations (EVCS) nationwide by 2028, from about 300 in 2023 and 992 so far this year (2025).
Industry organizations and analysts are confident that this short-term goal could still be attained with the right interventions and policies. CREVI policies are in place to meet a target of installing 20,400 EVCS by 2040, when the volume of EVs nationwide is expected to grow to at least 2.5 million.
Based on data from the DOE, about 12 percent of public charging stations are in malls—SM Supermalls have the most at 69, followed by Ayala Malls with 31, Megaworld Lifestyle Malls with 5, and Robinsons Malls with 4. Most of these are in Metro Manila. Outside the capital region, there are 14 public charging stations in Cebu City, 7 in Davao, and at least one in the Legazpi, Naga, and Sorsogon in the Bicol region. The rest are spread across key cities nationwide.
“The robust EV sector is hoping that the national government would remain on track to achieving improvement in necessary infrastructure, from installing more EVCS nationwide to expanding local EV manufacturing and assembly and supporting development of innovative technologies, particularly in battery. This way, we could ensure a continuous speed in EV adoption among Filipinos,” Araga said.
Promising measures that drive growth
In September 2024, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr inaugurated the first lithium battery factory in the country, located in Tarlac. StB Giga Factory Inc manufactures advanced lithium iron phosphate batteries that are used primarily in renewable energy and EV sectors. It positioned PH as a clean energy storage manufacturer not just in the region but also in the world and is set to produce batteries that could power up to 18,000 EVs annually when it hits full capacity in 2030.
In June this year, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) lodged for approval the new Electric Vehicle Incentive Strategy (EVIS). Upon approval by the Fiscal Incentives Review Board (FIRB), the new strategy could generate up to ₱11.4 trillion in economic output and create up to 680,000 local jobs involved in EV assembly, battery production, EVCS installation, and maintenance services. EVIS is still anchored on the Electric Vehicle Development Act (EVIDA) that has been fueling the growth of EVs since the law was implemented in 2022.
“The EV sector is unstoppable. There are more productive and insightful discussions plus a grand showcase of the latest innovations, industry collaborations, and new EV models coming at this year’s PEVS, with the theme ‘Charge Ahead, Ignite the EVolution.’ We invite all stakeholders and the general public to join us from October 23 to 25 at the SMX Convention Center Manila. Don’t get left behind the accelerating EV revolution,” Araga concluded.
