vivo V70 captures outdoor adventures like scenes from old memory

Tweet

Some trips become memorable not because of where you went, but because of who you were with.

For a group of friends navigating adulthood after college, a spontaneous day in the Philippines' popular amusement park, Enchanted Kingdom, felt like stepping back into simpler times, the kind filled with endless laughter, blurry group photos, chaotic rides, and carefree moments that once defined their university days.

It's this kind of memory that the vivo V70's Film Camera Mode 3.0 is designed to preserve, not just what happened, but how it felt in the moment.

If you ask any self-professed foodie what their absolute favorite comfort foods are, Tex-Mex and crispy fried chicken are probably going to be near the top of their lists.

OceanaGold (Philippines), Inc. (OGP) President and General Manager for External Affairs and Social Performance, Atty. Joan D. Adaci-Cattiling has been named one of the recipients of the 2026 Ifugao Achievers’ Award, recognized under the “Chief Executive Officer or its Equivalent” category.

The award was conferred on June 8, 2026, during the Opening program of the 60th Founding Anniversary of the Province of Ifugao and the Gotad ad Ifugao 2026, which highlighted the achievements of exemplary Ifugaos across diverse fields.

This year’s recognition marks the second time that Atty. Adaci-Cattiling was recognized by the province. She was first honored for placing Top 5 in the 2000 Philippine Bar Examinations, underscoring a career marked by sustained excellence and leadership.

In her response on behalf of the awardees, Atty. Adaci-Cattiling emphasized the shared identity and collective strength of the Ifugao people:

“Each of us awardees have taken a different path, but we are bound by the same historical cloth. Like the patterns of the various Ifugao fabric… each of us carries a distinct thread… woven together, we form a stronger and more meaningful tapestry—one that reflects the talent, resilience, and dignity of the Ifugao people.”

She highlighted that the recognition is not solely an individual achievement but a reflection of the communities that shaped each awardee:

“The Ifugao Achievers’ Award is not simply one of individual achievement. It also honors the wisdom of our ancestors and the communities that shaped each of us for excellence.”

Atty. Adaci-Cattiling has been with OGP for nearly two decades, leading the company’s initiatives in external affairs, social performance, stakeholder engagement, and community development. Her leadership reflects the growing impact of women in the mining industry, where female representation in senior executive roles remains historically limited.

As one of the few women in a top leadership role in the sector, she has helped advance a model of responsible mining that prioritizes inclusive development, meaningful engagement with Indigenous Peoples, and cultural preservation.

“I am proud that we have made it our mission to support the preservation and promotion of Ifugao culture in the Didipio Mine’s host and neighboring barangays through our Indigenous Peoples’ Culture Revitalization Program,” she said, noting that around 450 trainees, both young and old, have benefited from the program by learning the dances, music, and cultural practices.

She also encouraged the youth of Ifugao to take pride in their identity and pursue their aspirations with purpose:

“May today’s celebration challenge you to dream boldly and let your identity as an Ifugao be a source of strength… carry it with you proudly, confidently, and with purpose.”

In a remarkable family milestone, among the awardees is also Atty. Adaci-Cattiling’s brother, Retired Vice Admiral Toribio D. Adaci Jr., former Flag Officer in Command of the Philippine Navy, who was recognized under the national-level positions category.

The Ifugao Achievers’ Award, established through Provincial Ordinance No. 2006-040, institutionalizes the recognition of Ifugaos whose achievements bring honor and dignity to the province. The award recognizes outstanding individuals across various sectors, including corporate leadership, public service, and community development.

EastWest and SMU Mark Graduation of Wealth Management Program Participants

The program reflects the Bank’s deliberate commitment to investing in people.

Over 80 bankers from EastWest completed the Singapore Management University (SMU) Wealth Management Programme

East West Banking Corporation (EastWest) marked the graduation of over 80 bankers from the Singapore Management University (SMU) Wealth Management Programme, reinforcing the Bank’s strategic investment in talent development and client-centered advisory excellence.

The five-month executive learning program brought together participants from across the Bank and its affiliates. Designed in partnership with SMU Executive Development, the program curriculum focused on honing knowledge and skills around market and product mastery, portfolio construction, suitability, duty of care, stewardship, and high-stakes client conversations, helping EastWest bankers move from product-led conversations to trusted advisory relationships.

“When we began this partnership with SMU, we were making an investment in talent, in capability, and in the next generation of EastWest advisors,” said EastWest CEO Jerry G. Ngo. “EastWest invests in systems, platforms, and products. But our most important investment is in our people, because people build the relationships that define this Bank’s reputation.”

SMU Executive Development said the program was designed to help EastWest bankers connect technical expertise with stronger advisory judgment and client trust.

“The wealth management landscape requires advisors who can combine market knowledge, client insight, and ethical judgment,” said Eddie Tritton, Executive Director, SMU Executive Development. “We worked with EastWest to create a practical learning journey that helps participants apply technical concepts to real client situations, especially in moments where trust, suitability and long-term stewardship matter most.”

For the participants, the program strengthened both advisory confidence and client engagement discipline.

“The program reminded us that wealth management is about knowing what truly matters to the clients,” said Monina Delartmente, First Vice President and Head of Metro Manila South Region and Business Development. “We learned that a good advisor’s success is defined by how much peace of mind we give our client and how well we can protect them from unnecessary risks. And our impact will not be measured by returns alone, but by the trust our clients place in us.”

“Clients need people they can trust. Someone who understands their situation well enough to give honest, considered, and useful advice, even when the honest answer is to wait, to stay the course, or to do something they did not expect,” Ngo added. “That is what a trusted advisor does, and that is what this program was designed to build.”

The graduation also recognized outstanding project teams for demonstrating strong client understanding, portfolio logic, suitability discipline, and advisory judgment.

“Our aspiration is to develop Relationship Managers who can become the client’s trusted advisor across financial needs and life stages,” said Rafael S. Algarra Jr., Senior Executive Vice President and Head of Financial Markets and Wealth Management. “That means being able to address not just investments, but broader aspirations such as liquidity, protection, income, growth, retirement, education, business needs, succession, estate planning, and wealth transfer.”

The EastWest–SMU Wealth Management Program is part of the Bank’s broader push to strengthen its wealth management business, deepen client relationships, and build an advisory culture anchored on trust, suitability, and long-term stewardship.
