The new Infinix GT 30 turns you into the gaming master you’re meant to be for under P11K

0

Infinix believes that everyone can be a gaming master. As one of the top phone brands in the Philippines, Infinix is reinforcing its position with the launch of the newest Infinix GT 30, a high-performance gaming phone that can bring out casual gamers’ skills and strength for just under P11,000.

The Infinix GT 30 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 5G chipset and equipped with a 1.5K 144Hz AMOLED display for a seamless balance of high performance and smooth visuals. It delivers power, precision, and performance with an impressively responsive Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) Certified 120 FPS refresh rate to help gamers unleash their best plays.

Just like its predecessor, the Infinix GT 30 Pro, the Infinix GT 30 has a built-in GT Trigger, a first in a gaming phone, and the only one in its price point. These dual capacitive shoulder buttons deliver console-level responsiveness with a 520Hz touch sampling rate, enabling lightning-fast actions in MOBAs and FPS games. With customizable mapping, players can easily assign in-game controls such as shooting, casting abilities, or returning to base. Its intelligent lighting system adds real-time visual feedback, pulsing when players are firing or scoring kills. Beyond gaming, the GT Trigger doubles as a shortcut for snapping photos, managing video or music playback, and more, while the lighting system signals calls, messages, charging status, or even syncs with music.

With the Infinix GT 30, Infinix carries forward the flagship experience of the GT Series. As the MPL Official Smartphone Partner, the brand delivers powerful performance and high-speed gameplay to every player, whether casual or competitive. Featuring MLBB Certified 120 FPS, the GT 30 ensures ultra-smooth matches in MOBAs like MLBB or intense FPS titles like Delta Force. Designed for casual gamers who want to level up every game, the Infinix GT 30 makes the tools of champions accessible at an affordable price.

Integration in daily life

The Infinix GT 30 is more than just a gaming phone, it can be an everyday companion. The phone’s powerful processor and crystal-clear display allows for seamless actions whenever users browse social media, stream or upload content, among many other activities. Infinix’s AI suite with more than 25 AI-powered features aim to simplify daily tasks, from information extraction via the One-Tap Screen Q&A to editing content like a pro using AI Erase and AI Extend. With these capabilities, the GT 30 turns into a helpful assistant for learning, creativity, and communication.

Pricing and availability

The Infinix GT 30 will be available at a retail price of ₱11,999, with an exclusive promo offer of just ₱10,499 via Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. Gamers can choose from three striking colorways—Cyber Blue Pulse Green, Shadow Ash, and Blade White, to match their style. As an added bonus, every purchase includes a complimentary GT 30 MagCooling Fan, available exclusively for a limited time and only while stocks last.

Fans can also score more exciting deals and surprises during the official first sale Livestream Launch on TikTok Shop, happening on September 29 at 12 PM.

The Value of Consistency in Small Business Marketing

0

For many small businesses, marketing can feel like a sprint: a burst of social media posts here, an ad campaign there, then silence until the next promo. But here’s the thing: PR and marketing are marathons, not sprints.

The ‘secret’ to finishing a long distance run and achieving lasting brand success is the same: consistency. By being consistent, small brands today can become big players tomorrow.

Why Consistency Matters in PR and Marketing

When your marketing efforts are consistent in all aspects — in tone, visuals, and frequency — you create a steady drumbeat that keeps your brand top of mind.

In PR terms, that steady presence builds trust, improves recall, and strengthens credibility. All these traits let your audiences know you are a brand they can stick with for a long time.

How Consistency Drives PR Success

A good PR strategy tells your story in a way that resonates with your audience. Consistency is the glue that holds your messaging together…

  • Across Channels: Your tone on Facebook should match your tone in press releases, billboards, and interviews.
  • Over Time: Staying visible year-round means people remember you even when they’re not ready to buy.
  • In Quality: Whether it’s a social post or a TV spot, the professionalism should be the same.

Consistent marketing delivers your message seamlessly. On the other hand, inconsistent marketing ruins your momentum and ability to genuinely connect with your target audience.

The Role of a PR Agency in Maintaining Consistency

Partnering with a PR agency in the Philippines ensures that every post is strategic and on-brand. They can develop a unified messaging framework, align your visuals and tone across all media, and maintain a steady content calendar so your brand is never silent for too long. They also keep an eye on audience responses, making adjustments when needed without compromising your identity.

A good PR partner helps you look and sound like the same brand everywhere, every time.

Simple Ways Small Businesses Can Stay Consistent

Consistency becomes possible with a plan. Here are some steps you can take to embark on your path towards consistent marketing:

  1. Create a Content Calendar: Map out marketing activities weeks or months ahead.
  2. Use Templates: From press release formats to social post designs, templates keep things uniform.
  3. Schedule Regular Media Outreach: Build relationships with journalists and influencers through periodic updates, not just during launches.
  4. Commit to Your Voice: Avoid chasing every trend if it doesn’t fit your brand personality.

The Long-Term Payoff

Think of your marketing like watering a plant. Do it sporadically and it wilts; nurture it regularly, and it grows strong roots and lasting blooms. In business, that’s a loyal customer base, positive media relationships, and a strong reputation — the very foundation of successful PR.

Consistency is a superpower in the crowded Philippine market, the key to transforming small businesses into household names.

Kenny Rogers Roasters at 30: Celebrating the Riders Behind Every Delivery

0

Kenny Rogers Roasters continues its 30th-anniversary celebration, not just by looking back at its own journey, but by recognizing the everyday heroes who are integral to its success: its delivery partners. The brand’s “30 Deliciously Healthy Years” campaign, a testament to its three decades of serving Filipinos, took a meaningful turn by extending the celebration to GrabFood riders, the very individuals who bring their deliciously healthy meals directly to customers’ doors. This tribute, aptly named “Kenny’s Rider Day,” held at the Kenny Rogers Roasters Roxas Boulevard branch, was more than just a celebration; it was an acknowledgment of their dedication and a nod to the brand’s own calling of self-care and well-being, embodied in its “I Love Me Better” campaign.

The event honored 30 exceptional riders who are all turning 30 this year, a parallel that beautifully ties their personal milestones to Kenny Rogers’ 30th anniversary. This junction of celebrations highlighted a core message of the “I Love Me Better” campaign: that taking care of oneself is a journey, and every year of that journey is worth celebrating.

Riders and their families were treated to hearty meals, exciting games, and raffle prizes, including grocery packs, 25 kilos of rice, and gift certificates—tokens of appreciation for their tireless efforts. The grand prize, a brand-new motorcycle, was a symbolic gesture, a way to help these everyday heroes take better care of themselves on the road.

As Frederick Sy, President and CEO of Kenny Rogers Roasters, shared, “This celebration is our way of giving back to the riders who have always been part of our journey.” He reiterated how the riders’ hard work has enabled the brand to reach more homes and families, making them true partners and “everyday heroes.” By taking care of its partners, Kenny Rogers Roasters is demonstrating that its commitment to health and well-being extends beyond the plate and into the community, fueling the flame of dedication and shared success for years to come. In celebrating these riders, the brand is not only marking its 30th anniversary but is also living its “I Love Me Better” message, showing a beautiful way to celebrate oneself.

On World Pharmacists Day, AS Watson, Watsons Philippines’ parent company proudly celebrates the dedication and expertise of its global network of pharmacists and health professionals, who play a pivotal role in helping customers lead healthier lives.

“On this meaningful day, we extend our deepest gratitude to over 3,000 pharmacists and nearly 10,000 health professionals at AS Watson across the globe. Their commitment goes far beyond in-store services—they also provide online consultations in most of our markets, ensuring customers receive trusted health advice anytime, anywhere. Their expertise is essential in helping our customers navigate their health journeys with confidence,” said Peter Macnab, International Commercial Director of AS Watson.

In line with the global celebration of World Pharmacist’s Day, Watsons Philippines joins in the global initiative to empower its pharmacists with expanded health services, aiming to build a healthier future for Filipinos and the wider region.

Meeting the Rising Demand for Health and Wellness

AS Watson’s health and wellness business continues to accelerate, fuelled by evolving customer expectations, a growing focus on preventive care, and strong category growth. In the past 12 months alone, overall health & beauty sales have increased by over 10%, with the vitamins & dietary supplements category also rising more than 10%, and the diet & fitness category seeing an impressive surge of over 20%.

Weight management has emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments, with sales of related products and services soaring by 130%. As global obesity rates climb, more customers are turning to trusted pharmacists for safe, expert guidance. AS Watson’s pharmacists provide access to weight management medicines and supplements, along with personalised advice on nutrition, lifestyle, and sustainable health practices empowering customers to take a holistic approach to their wellbeing.

Complementing this category momentum is the rapid adoption of AS Watson’s O+O (Offline plus Online) retail strategy. Online sales of health products have surged by 30% year-on-year, underscoring a shift in consumer behaviour towards convenient O+O access to trusted health essentials. This surge reflects not only a preference for O+O shopping experience but also a growing tendency among customers to proactively manage their wellbeing.

In response to these trends, AS Watson has significantly expanded its health product portfolio, offering a comprehensive range, from vitamins and supplements to condition-specific solutions. AS Watson is committed to supporting every customer’s unique health journey with both breadth and depth of choice.

Empowering Health Customers Across Age Groups

AS Watson is witnessing a dynamic shift in customer demographics, with both younger and silver generations increasingly prioritising their health and wellbeing.

There has been remarkable year-on-year growth of 30% in the young customer segment seeking health products. This surge reflects a growing awareness among younger consumers about preventive care, wellness. They are actively seeking expert advice and convenient access to products that support their lifestyle and long-term health goals.

Meanwhile, the silver generation now represents over 30% of AS Watson’s health customers and continues to grow steadily. Spending 1.4 times more than the average health shopper, they reflect increasing engagement and purchasing power, underscoring the importance of personalised health solutions tailored to their needs.

Peter added, “We are proud to serve a diverse and growing customer base. Both the younger and silver generation are powerful forces in the health category, and we are committed to supporting them with relevant products, expert advice, and a seamless O+O health shopping experience.”

As AS Watson continues to evolve with the changing health landscape, our commitment to innovation, accessibility, and customer-centric care remains stronger than ever. By empowering pharmacists and health professionals with the right tools and platforms, we’re shaping the future of health retail—one that is more personalised, inclusive, and digitally connected.

Aligning with its parent company’s mission, Watsons Philippines is committed to making wellness more accessible for all its customers and giving back to the community, transforming every visit into an opportunity to achieve their health goals.

A Chance For Proactive Care and A Healthier Life

In the Philippines, Watsons is strengthening its commitment to its customers’ health by becoming the go-to destination for health and wellness through key partnerships with Diabetes Philippines, Inc. (DPI) and global healthcare leader Novo Nordisk.

Diabetes Philippines, Inc. (DPI) doctors will train Watsons pharmacists to expand their roles beyond conventional practice, better equipping them to provide expert advice on managing diabetes and its complications, thereby helping to improve awareness and early detection.

In partnership with Novo Nordisk, Watsons will offer free obesity screenings, providing professional assessments and expert advice directly to customers onsite at selected Watsons stores.

These collaborations reinforce Watsons’ goal of being a trusted health partner and the go-to destination for health and wellness needs of Filipinos. Ultimately, this work delivers on the brand’s promise to help Filipinos “Look Good, Do Good, Feel Great.”

The third edition of the Travel Sale Expo (TSE) concluded its highly anticipated run last September 26–28, 2025, at the SM Megamall Megatrade Hall, once again cementing its reputation as the country’s premier travel fair.

A major highlight this year was the expanded partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), which worked alongside the Department of Tourism (DOT) to spotlight local products and services that reflect the Philippines’ rich culture and heritage.

Where Sophistication Meets Play: NUSTAR Online Officially Launches Its Brand Ambassadors

0

Bea Alonzo and Andrea Brillantes are the new faces that lead the country’s premier online leisure experience

Luxury is no longer confined to exclusive addresses or grand spaces — it can now live in the palm of your hand. With NUSTAR Online, the Philippines’ premier luxury online entertainment platform, the sophistication of Cebu’s most iconic integrated resort expands into a digital experience that is indulgent, secure, and accessible to every Filipino.

From its sleek interface to curated game offerings, NUSTAR Online is designed for Filipinos who value both entertainment and refinement. Every detail of the platform reflects NUSTAR’s vision: a seamless fusion of world-class leisure and online convenience.

At the heart of this platform are two empowered women whose names resonate far beyond the screen: Bea Alonzo and Andrea Brillantes. Chosen as the faces of NUSTAR Online, they embody the dual spirit of the brand — one rooted in timeless elegance, the other in fearless energy — both united by a shared pursuit of living life beautifully and to the fullest.

Bea Alonzo: Grace, Depth, and Timeless Luxury

For nearly two decades, Bea Alonzo has redefined what it means to be an actress in the Philippines — her artistry marked by depth, her persona radiating elegance. She is admired not just for her body of work, but for her ability to evolve gracefully with the times. In Bea, NUSTAR Online finds a reflection of its promise: a platform that is grounded in trust, elegance, and an unwavering standard of excellence.

Andrea Brillantes: Energy, Boldness, and the Spirit of a New Generation

On the other end of the spectrum is Andrea Brillantes, a Gen-Z superstar whose rise has been fueled by boldness, authenticity, and charisma. She speaks to a new generation of Filipinos — one that lives digitally, plays without boundaries, and demands both excitement and style in every facet of the way they spend their time. For Andrea, NUSTAR Online is not only a platform for entertainment but also a stage where individuality and youthful ambition shine.

Together, Bea and Andrea represent the perfect balance: timeless class and modern vibrancy — the same poise that defines NUSTAR Online.

Luxury Entertainment, Redefined

More than an entertainment platform, NUSTAR Online is a lifestyle experience. Its sleek interface and curated suite of games mirror the polished world that it has become synonymous with, while its robust security and trusted play standards reflect the brand’s commitment to excellence.

Players can now access entertainment that is aspirational yet inclusive, indulgent yet responsible. Luxury is no longer about exclusivity — it’s about bringing world-class leisure into the everyday lives of Filipinos.

“Luxury is not just a destination; it is a way of life, and this is what NUSTAR Online brings to Filipinos,” said Krizia Cortez, NUSTAR Online Director of Public Relations. “We are turning the ordinary moments into extraordinary entertainment experiences that are secure, stylish, and rewarding – all at your fingertips. With Bea Alonzo embodying timeless elegance and Andrea Brillantes representing bold, modern energy, NUSTAR Online becomes the space where both worlds meet and shows that this is a lifestyle within reach for every Filipino who aspires for more.”

A New Era for Online Luxury in the Philippines

NUSTAR Online marks a significant milestone: it is not only the first of its kind in the local industry but also a symbol of how entertainment platforms can elevate leisure into something more meaningful. By combining world-class technology with a brand that equals with prestige, the brand positions itself as the gold standard for luxury online entertainment in the country.

As Bea and Andrea bring their unique voices to this story — one of elegance, the other of energy — NUSTAR Online sets out to inspire every generation of Filipinos to embrace a lifestyle lived with sophistication.
