SB19 conquers the global wild with defiant new anthem “LAWLESS”

Tweet

Following their acclaimed Lollapalooza Chicago debut, the quintet delivers a fearless bop that celebrates creative independence and reinvention

Fresh from making history with their critically acclaimed debut performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago, SB19 has released their latest single, “LAWLESS,” which they premiered live for the very first time on one of the world’s most prestigious music festival stages.

“LAWLESS” marks a new direction for the award-winning quintet, transitioning from a locally established act to a global supergroup brand. In “LAWLESS,” SB19 declares that they’re an outlaw on the run: gutsy, more determined to take chances, and not the type to seek approval.

No longer constrained by conventional industry expectations, SB19’s latest bop sets their sights on disrupting the norm, reflecting a state of creative and career liberation. As the lyrics best describe it, “I'm lawless, better be cautious.”

Buoyed by maximalist production and cinematic soundscapes, “LAWLESS” takes P-Pop to a more sonically riveting ground, fusing hip-hop swagger with contemporary pop, Western, and surf rock influences.

Accompanying the release is an equally audacious but strikingly entertaining music video that subverts classic outlaw tropes through tongue-in-cheek homage to Western films. The visuals show SB19’s signature blend of wit, charisma, and boundary-pushing creativity.

SB19’s “LAWLESS” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Watch the music video here.

usmile Empowers Filipinos' Oral Care Routines with Proactive, Clinical-Grade, Smart Dental Tech

Tweet

Global professional oral care brand usmile is transforming daily oral hygiene for Filipinos as it strengthens its presence in the Philippines with smart, science-backed devices designed to help stop dental problems before they start. By bringing preventive oral care to the forefront, the brand empowers consumers to make smarter choices for healthier smiles every day.

A leader in the oral care industry across the region, usmile champions innovative dental healthcare methods that reduce the risk of diseases and improve the overall oral health of users around the world.

Encouraging Proactive Dental Wellness in the Philippines

In a country widely recognized as a cheerful nation, smiling is a cultural gesture in the Philippines, serving as a universal language communicating warmth, trust, and community. However, despite the value placed on smiles, oral health remains a significant challenge across the country.

For many Filipino families, the dentist's chair is often a last resort, waiting until a toothache becomes unbearable before seeking help. Data from the Department of Health (DOH) indicate that 92.4% of the population has tooth decay, and 78% have gum disease.

Aligned with its “prevention over treatment” philosophy, usmile is committed to building healthier dental wellness in the Philippines by encouraging Filipinos to take a proactive approach to their oral health. By making advanced oral care technology more accessible, the brand aims to help more users establish better dental habits and reduce the risk of oral health concerns before they require costly treatments.

Through these efforts, the brand empowers users to navigate their day-to-day lives with a healthy and confident smile.

More than a Decade of Clinical-Grade Prevention

Since its founding in 2015, usmile has spent more than a decade developing smart oral care technologies. Today, it is trusted by over 86 million users in 30 countries, supported by rigorous clinical tests.

Through ongoing collaboration with dentists, oral health experts, and research institutions, usmile turns complex dental science into safe, efficient, and practical solutions for everyday use.

These include targeted formulas for teeth whitening toothpastes, highlighted by Optical White, which recently sold over 100,000 units in a single month. The lineup is completed by three other specialized types: Strength White, Fresh White, and Repair White. It also includes twin-line dental floss picks and water flossers with precision pulse technology. These innovations are engineered to prevent common concerns like cavities, gum disease, and plaque buildup.

Since its official launch in the Philippines in February, usmile has been gaining popularity in the toothpaste category on TikTok Shop in the country. This mirrors its success in Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, where it recently got the top spot for premium oral care and won the 2026 EPIC Award for Breakthrough Brand in E-commerce.

Don’t wait for dental problems to start. usmile’s lineup of smart oral care devices, including water flossers, whitening toothpaste, and oral care essentials, is now available at TikTok Shop and Shopee.

Keep moving no matter the condition: Shop your MOVE IT Ride-Ready essentials on GrabMart

Tweet

Packable rain jacket, helmet liner, and refresh kit now available exclusively on GrabMart

Clear skies at 7:00 in the morning, wet and windy by 5:00 PM in the afternoon. The rainy season does not negotiate with anyone’s calendar, and for the professionals who have moved to motorcycle-taxis to protect their schedule, the distance between leaving and arriving has become a gamble on how they turn up.

MOVE IT launched Ride-Ready, a line of commuter essentials built for that gap. Now available exclusively on GrabMart, the range includes a packable rain jacket, a scarf or cap that doubles as a helmet liner, and a refresh kit with travel-size alcohol spray, cooling wipes, and tissue.

The launch comes at a time when motorcycle-taxis have become indispensable to the daily grind. While MOVE IT recorded a 20% growth in monthly users during the first half of the year compared to last year, commuter feedback highlighted lingering hesitations to booking a ride like sudden downpours and scorching heat, along with concerns about shared helmet conditions.

“Filipino commuters have become extraordinarily good at adapting to city life. What they should not have to accept is arriving at a meeting soaked, or starting the afternoon already behind,” says MOVE IT General Manager Wayne Jacinto. “Ride-Ready is a practical answer to that. We want our passengers to step off the ride the same way they left the house.”

MOVE IT also brought Ride-Ready into the busy commercial districts where many of its passengers work. Interactive booths ran at select office buildings in Makati, Bonifacio Global City, Ortigas, and Cebu City from June to July, where commuters claimed Ride-Ready items on site and booked their next trip from the booth.

As the rainy season and worsening traffic remain major concerns for commuters, MOVE IT's Ride-Ready essentials make every journey easier and more comfortable. By equipping passengers with the right tools, MOVE IT empowers them to keep moving no matter the condition—ensuring they step off their ride fresh, confident, and ready to face the day ahead.

The Ride-Ready range is available on GrabMart starting July 13. Prices start at P275, with special bundles that mix and match essentials for more savings. Details are on MOVE IT’s official social media channels.

EastWest’s Investment Banking earns industry recognition for helping bring major capital market deals to life

Tweet

EastWest's Investment Banking team has been recognized by two respected industry organizations for its work in the Philippine capital market. The awards acknowledge the team's involvement in significant fundraising transactions that have helped companies raise capital, and expanded investment opportunities for local investors.

The team recently received the IPO Deal of the Year – Philippines award from Asian Banking & Finance for its participation as a Domestic Participating Underwriter in the initial public offering of Maynilad Water Services, Inc. The Bank was also named among the Top 5 Corporate Issue Managers/Arrangers (Bank Category) by the PDS Group for its performance in 2025, a distinction that EastWest has maintained every year for the past six (6) years.

EastWest Investment Banking Officers Mark Angelo Borreo and Jerome Antonio Lim (center) received the award on behalf of the Bank during the recent PDS Awards 2026.

Together, these recognitions show the breadth of EastWest's investment banking capabilities—from supporting one of the country's largest public offerings to helping issuers access the domestic capital markets through debt securities and other funding transactions.

“At the heart of successful capital raising is a clear understanding of what our clients want to achieve,” said Mr. Rafael S. Algarra, Jr., SEVP and Head of Financial Markets and Wealth Management. “By bringing together the right investors and helping build confidence throughout the process, we aim to deliver thoughtful advice and disciplined execution. These recognitions encourage us to keep doing just that.”

One of the team's recent highlights was its participation in the Maynilad Water Services, Inc. initial public offering completed on November 7, 2025. The transaction raised approximately Php 34.3 billion in gross proceeds and became the second-largest IPO in Philippine history as well as the country's largest since 2021. The offer was oversubscribed 2.7 times which reflected strong investor demand. Through its network and client relationships, EastWest supported participation from domestic and retail investors. The Bank's efforts helped broaden the company's shareholder base and supported funding for long-term water and wastewater infrastructure investments. The team's activity in the debt capital market also earned industry recognition. Based on its 2025 performance, EastWest once again ranked among the top five (5) Corporate Issue Managers/Arrangers in the Bank Category in the PDS Group's annual rankings.

As more Philippine companies tap the capital markets to support their growth, EastWest continues to build its investment banking franchise through sound advice, disciplined execution, and strong relationships with issuers and investors.

“Every transaction represents a company's next chapter, whether it's expanding operations, investing in infrastructure, or pursuing long-term growth,” Algarra added. “Our role is to help our clients achieve those goals while creating more opportunities for retail investors to participate in the capital market and build their investment portfolios with confidence.”

Peek inside vivo Global HQ with Anne Curtis

DONGGUAN, CHINA – What truly drives innovation on a global scale? Behind every smartphone lies not only cutting-edge technology and precision manufacturing, but also the people, culture, and vision that bring it to life.

After touring vivo's intelligent manufacturing facilities at its Global Headquarters, Anne Curtis—Filipino actress and vivo Philippines Brand Ambassador—continued her journey through the headquarters campus in Dongguan, China. From its architecture and corporate culture to its innovative vision and social responsibility, she discovered how innovation is woven into every aspect of vivo.

For Anne, the visit offered more than a behind-the-scenes look at vivo. It showed that the brand's innovation is driven not only by technology, but also by its people-first philosophy.

Where tradition meets innovation

During her visit to Dongguan, Anne explored the vivo Exhibition Hall and Global Headquarters campus, gaining a deeper understanding of the brand's innovation philosophy.

Impressed by the campus, Anne shared, "It's beautiful. I wish I had an office like this in real life." The visit also gave her a firsthand look at how vivo fosters creativity through a thoughtfully designed workplace.

Imaging without limits

During her headquarters tour, Anne also explored the vivo X300 Ultra, gaining a closer look at vivo's latest advances in mobile imaging.

At the exhibition hall, Anne experienced the X300 Ultra paired with the 400mm equivalent vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra. As distant scenes came into sharp focus, she experienced the impressive telephoto performance of vivo's latest flagship imaging smartphone.

As the first Ultra model introduced to global markets, the X300 Ultra combines professional imaging, flagship performance, and long-lasting battery life, bringing vivo's latest innovations to users around the world.

For Anne, who has spent much of her career in front of the camera, the X300 Ultra strikes a balance between professional capabilities and everyday portability, making high-quality content creation easier than ever. The experience also gave her a deeper appreciation of how vivo continues to make advanced mobile imaging more accessible through innovation.

More than a tour

For Anne, the headquarters tour revealed a side of vivo that goes beyond technology. From its people and culture to the ideas behind its products, the visit gave her a deeper understanding of what defines the brand.

"It was always great to learn more about vivo in detail. It was such a variety; the brand that keeps on innovating," Anne shared.

Together, these experiences painted a more complete picture of vivo as a brand.

Anne's journey to China continues. Follow vivo Philippines on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, and TikTok for more highlights from her visit.

Why OPPO's Next Reno Could Be the Ultimate Back-to-School Companion

A new school year means fresh starts, new friendships, and exciting opportunities waiting around every corner. But along with the thrill of campus life comes the reality of meeting your first college barkada, balancing lectures, group projects, deadlines and extracurricular activities, and an always-on campus social life.

For today's college students, a smartphone is more than just a way to stay in touch. It's a study buddy, planner, collaboration hub, and creative companion all in one, helping them capture lecture notes, coordinate with classmates, manage busy schedules, and seamlessly switch between schoolwork and everyday moments.

That's what makes the upcoming OPPO Reno16 Series 5G the perfect smartphone for the school year ahead. Powered by the latest ColorOS 16 experience, the Reno16 Series is built to help students stay productive, organized, and connected so they can ace presentations, tackle assignments, or make the most of campus life from day one and beyond.

Smarter studying starts with smarter tools

From reviewing lecture slides before class and organizing research materials to keeping track of assignments and deadlines, students need tools that help them stay focused and productive throughout the day.

From last-minute review sessions with your barkada to preparing for an important class presentation, AI Mind Space serves as a #StudyAssistant that helps keep your notes, materials, and important information organized in one place. With less time spent switching between apps or searching for files, students can stay focused on what matters most which is learning, collaborating, and acing every school day.

From reviewing lecture slides before class and organizing research materials to keeping track of assignments and deadlines, students need tools that help them stay focused and productive throughout the day.

Whether it's preparing for an important class presentation or reviewing notes with your barkada after class, AI Mind Space serves as an intelligent Study Assistant that keeps everything organized in one place. When students need answers, it can intelligently tap into leading AI models like Gemini, Perplexity, and ChatGPT to provide comprehensive responses, compare insights from multiple AI assistants on a single screen, and even personalize recommendations by drawing from saved information in Mind Space. With less time spent switching between apps or searching for files, students can focus on what matters most: learning, collaborating, and making every school day more productive.

Seamlessly connected, no matter what device you use

Campus life often means collaborating with classmates who use different devices and operating systems. Whether it's sending presentation slides to an iPhone user before class, sharing lecture notes after a group study session, or transferring photos from a school event, file sharing should be quick and hassle-free.

That's where O+ Connect serves as the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G’s iOS Bridge. This is designed for students who use both an OPPO smartphone and an iPhone, or frequently collaborate with friends on iOS. The feature enables seamless file sharing with a simple tap, automatically detecting compatible devices without requiring users to manually open the app. With faster connections and a sharing experience that feels familiar to iPhone users, O+ Connect makes transferring photos, documents, and other files more effortless. By removing common barriers between platforms, students can spend less time troubleshooting file transfers and more time focusing on what matters most: collaborating, creating, and making the most of campus life.

Built to keep up with every school day

A smooth smartphone experience can make all the difference when every tap, swipe, and transition is part of a busy day. Powered by ColorOS 16, the upcoming OPPO Reno16 Series 5G is #NanoSecondSmooth, delivering a faster, more responsive interface that keeps everyday interactions feeling effortless.

Paired with its premium design and intelligent software experience, the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G is built to make productivity, creativity, and entertainment feel more seamless.

Students looking to take their productivity even further can also pair the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G with the OPPO Pad 5, creating a smarter ecosystem for learning and everyday tasks. From reviewing lecture slides on a larger display and multitasking between study materials to taking notes during online classes, the OPPO Pad 5 complements the Reno16 Series 5G by extending the ColorOS 16 experience across devices. Together, they provide students with a more seamless way to study, collaborate, and stay productive wherever campus life takes them.

Ready for a smarter school year

Technology has become an integral part of the modern learning experience, making it easier for students to stay organized, collaborate with classmates, and manage their academic responsibilities. As digital tools continue to evolve, the smartphone has become a central part of how students learn, create, and communicate every day.

With the upcoming ColorOS 16 experience featuring Study Assistant, iOS Bridge, and Nano Second Smooth, the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G is designed to make those everyday experiences more seamless. By combining intelligent productivity features with a smooth and intuitive user experience, it empowers students to focus less on managing tasks and more on making the most of the school year.
