Young entrepreneurs and aspiring professionals gathered for the Next Gen Opportunity Meeting, an immersive summit organized by Herbalife Philippines to inspire growth, build practical skills, and foster meaningful connections. The event combined wellness activities, mentorship sessions, and personal storytelling, providing a platform for participants to reflect, learn, and take action in their entrepreneurial journeys.

With more than half of Filipino Gen Z (54%) expressing strong entrepreneurial intentions and a desire to start their own ventures[1], immersive experiences are becoming essential in equipping young entrepreneurs with practical skills, mindset training, and supportive networks. Blending wellness, mentorship, and real-life stories of growth, the summit offered a fresh approach to nurturing the next generation of business leaders in the Philippines.

Highlighting the company’s objective in hosting the summit, Allan Domingo, General Manager of Herbalife Philippines, said, “We want young entrepreneurs to have a space where they can really grow and learn to take action. By combining mentorship, wellness, and a community that supports them, we help them turn their ideas into real opportunities and build the kind of success that lasts. We’ve helped people from diverse backgrounds turn passion into successful, fulfilling businesses.”

“At Herbalife, we equip our independent distributors with expert-led training on health, nutrition, and our products, ensuring they can confidently guide customers. Beyond training, we foster a supportive community with personalised guidance and dedicated customer service. With a global network of over two million entrepreneurs, Herbalife remains committed to sharing knowledge and strategies to drive business success,” he further added.

Adding a perspective on the importance of community and passion, Patricia Germentil, Gen Z marketing strategist and entrepreneur shared that young entrepreneurs thrive when they are supported by authentic connections: “Likes are just surface level, real growth comes from building a community that lasts. Your day ones aren’t just followers; they’re the ones who believe in you, engage with you, and support your journey from the start.”

She also emphasized that people connect not only to products but to the experience and purpose behind them, underscoring the value of immersive, intentional engagement in building a brand or business.

The summit also featured a live podcast-style conversation with television personalities and fitness advocates Joyce Pring and Juancho Triviño, who shared insights on balancing work, personal life, and entrepreneurial ambitions. Pring highlighted self-care as a foundation for success, while Triviño emphasized discipline and consistent daily choices over fleeting motivation, with both underscoring resilience and community support as key drivers of sustainable growth.

Ines Santiago, Herbalife triathlete, teacher, and mother, demonstrated how consistent habits can transform both personal and professional life. She shared how a simple 10-minute jog to manage stress evolved into long-distance triathlons and ultimately her role as a wellness ambassador. Reflecting on her journey, Santiago explained that when managed positively, stress can serve as a catalyst for growth: “Adversity pushes you to do better, to live your best life, and to be your best self.” Her story underscored how wellness routines can cultivate discipline, mindset, and the endurance necessary for entrepreneurial success.

The summit drew almost 500 attendees, including aspiring entrepreneurs, young professionals, and Herbalife distributors from across the Philippines.

The participants explored the scenic roads of Tanay, which is ideal for its perfect blend of urban, uphill and countryside riding.

Elevated performance, control, and ride quality in a stylish package

The All-New PCX160’s performance was a highlight for riders on the twisty roads from Parañaque to Tanay. The smooth acceleration from its 157cc, 4-stroke, 4-valve, SOHC (Single Overhead Cam), Liquid-Cooled, ESP+ engine was more than enough to handle the route, with riders appreciating its power output of 11.8 kW at 8,500 rpm and torque of 14.7 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Its impressive fuel efficiency of 46 km/L also made it an excellent companion for the long journey ride. They also feel a more comfortable ride with the spacious foot area.

Participants felt confident and in control, especially with the RoadSync type’s advanced safety features. The Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) provided enhanced braking stability, which participants found useful, especially in wet conditions. For sudden acceleration, the Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) was a standout feature, ensuring improved traction and stability. The twin shock rear suspension with subtanks on the RoadSync type provided excellent damping performance. They also noted more riding experience. As for the Standard type, the Combi Brake System on its front and rear disc brakes provided reliable stopping power.

The ride’s superior styling turned heads, with its newly designed All-LED lights. The sleek color choices, like Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic and Pearl Fadeless White for the RoadSync type and Vortex Red Metallic, Pearl Fadeless White, and Matte Bullet Silver for the Standard type, drew admiration from fellow motorists.

The Honda Smart Key System, with its convenient keyless operation and anti-theft immobilizer, was a popular feature. The built-in USB Type-C charger was appreciated for its modern compatibility and fast-charging capability, keeping devices powered throughout the ride. Another practical addition was the spacious 30-liter luggage box, which provided secure and weather-resistant storage for their things.

Riders on the RoadSync type particularly enjoyed the integrated technology. They took full advantage of the Honda RoadSync system, which, when paired with a smartphone, allowed them to access turn-by-turn navigation, music, calls, and messages. This was all hands-free, thanks to the intuitive multi-function switch on the left handlebar and voice human-machine interface (HMI). The 5-inch TFT meter panel received praise for its enhanced visibility, both day and night, and its user-friendly display of information. The passing light switch was also an important detail that provided an extra layer of safety and improved visibility, especially when overtaking.

Ending the ride on a high note

The participants of the PCXceptional Ride were in good spirits when they arrived at Café Cecilia. The event concluded with refreshments and snacks while enthusiastically discussing their riding experience.

AMA Affirms Its Role as the “Uber-Like of Philippine Education” with U-Learn 24/7

AMA Education System (AMAES), the  country’s pioneer in IT education, has reaffirmed its commitment to redefining the learning  landscape with the launch of its groundbreaking U-Learn 24/7 Model. This initiative positions  AMA as the “Uber-Like of Philippine Education,” giving students full control over when and  how they learn.

Much like how Uber reshaped commuting by granting riders freedom and flexibility, AMA’s U Learn 24/7 dismantles the rigid structures of traditional schooling. It responds to the realities  faced by today’s learners; students in far-flung provinces, working professionals, and parents  balancing multiple responsibilities by making education borderless, on-demand, and  learner-driven.

Breaking Barriers in Education

With U-Learn 24/7, students are no longer bound by fixed calendars or inflexible schedules.  Instead, they can:

  • Enroll any day of the year. Schedules are irrelevant learners can start anytime. Students may enroll in the 1st trimester during the 2nd semester schedule, or the 2nd semester during the 1st semester schedule. No time is wasted, enabling students to finish earlier  and transition immediately into the workforce.
  • Choose their preferred learning style: face-to-face, blended, structured online, or fully self-paced with virtual mentors.
  • Join new cohorts every 10 days, eliminating long waiting periods between terms. • Earn microcredentials, shift programs, or enter bootcamps without losing academic progress.
  • Access a seamless system through integrated learning and customer management platforms.
  • Pay tuition with ease via nationwide gateways such as GCash and 7-Eleven counters, ensuring inclusivity for all learners.

“Education should move with the learner, not against them,” AMA management emphasized. Powered by Global Partnerships

Strengthened by collaborations with global technology leaders such as Microsoft, Cisco, AWS,  Oracle, and Pearson VUE, AMA provides students with internationally recognized certifications  while studying locally.

Today, AMA stands as:

  • The largest Cisco Academy in the world.
  • The biggest AWS education partner in Asia.

These partnerships highlight AMA’s commitment to producing globally competitive graduates  prepared for the demands of the digital age.

A Legacy of Firsts

The U-Learn 24/7 Model builds upon AMA’s 45-year tradition of innovation. Over the decades,  AMA has achieved several milestones:

  • The first IT-focused institution in the Philippines.
  • The first to offer degree programs in Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity. • The largest school network in Asia.
  • A CHED-conferred Autonomous Institution, recognized for academic leadership and quality.

This track record underscores AMA’s role as a true pioneer in education not following trends,  but setting them.

Transforming Lives, Shaping Futures

The model’s impact is already visible in student success stories nationwide. Working parents,  career shifters, and learners from rural communities have completed their studies without  sacrificing personal or professional responsibilities. With U-Learn 24/7, AMA empowers  students to fit education into their lives instead of forcing them into rigid molds.

Looking Ahead

As AMA celebrates its 45th anniversary, it envisions a future where every Filipino has access to  quality, flexible, and globally relevant education — anytime, anywhere.

“The U-Learn 24/7 Model is more than a program; it is a platform that empowers learners to  set their pace, choose their path, and shape their future,” AMA management said.
