Upgrade to Marian's new fave vivo V80 Lite on vivo Store app


For Marian Rivera, a busy day can mean moving from family time to work, meetings, errands, and everything in between. That’s why the Kapuso Primetime Queen is loving the new vivo V80 Lite, particularly its 10000mAh BlueVolt Battery, which gives her more power to get through the day without constantly worrying about her next charge.

In a recent Instagram post, Marian featured the vivo V80 Lite in Afterglow Pink and shared how its battery keeps up with her packed schedule.

“More than enough battery to carry me through whatever the day brings, all the way into the night, without any worries,” she wrote.

For existing vivo users looking for a phone that can keep up with their daily routines, the vivo V80 Lite is now available for pre-order until October 16 through the vivo Store app, with exclusive perks for a limited time.



Pre-order via vivo Store app or vivo e-store

Starting at Php 24,999, the vivo V80 Lite comes with a range of pre-order offers if availed via the vivo Store app or vivo e-store.

Customers who pre-order can enjoy a Php 1,000 discount, a free vivo Buds Air3 worth Php 1,799, and a Magnetic Premium PU Leather Card Case.

They can also get exclusive vivo Silver Membership privileges, a six-month extended warranty, and a six-month insurance for a broken screen worth Php 5,230 - all can be claimed and accessed via the vivo Store app.

Existing vivo users can explore the offers and pre-order directly through the vivo Store app on their current device.

Not using a vivo phone yet? You can still get the vivo V80 Lite by pre-ordering through the vivo e-store. With the pre-order period ending on October 16, interested buyers can check out the available deals before the offers expire.

More reasons to upgrade

Beyond the pre-order perks, the vivo V80 Lite’s battery capacity addresses a familiar need: having a phone that can keep up with life beyond work hours.

During the vivo V80 Lite launch at Ayala Malls Market! Market! in BGC on October 4, Marian shared how her phone is part of her morning routine. She starts her day by reading the Bible before checking emails for school updates and catching up on messages from loved ones.

“Alam kong ang daming nakaka relate dahil madalas nauubusan tayo ng battery sa dami ng chine-check natin, sa dami ng ginagawa natin, but not this time,” she said, referring to the phone’s 10000mAh BlueVolt Battery that can last all day.


Event host Mara Aquino echoed this point, noting how the vivo V80 Lite’s large battery capacity suits someone like Marian, who balances motherhood with a demanding career as an actress. With family responsibilities and work commitments competing for her time, having a phone that can keep up with her day means one less thing to worry about.

If your current phone is struggling to keep up, explore the vivo V80 Lite’s pre-order offers through the vivo Store app or vivo e-store until October 16.

ASUS Zenbook 14 (UX3480) Philippines Launch: New Colors, Specs, and Price

New Arctic Blue and Komodo Coral Ceraluminum colorways, on-device AI performance, and a lightweight design – available across Intel, AMD, and Snapdragon configurations starting October 7.


ASUS Philippines today announced the latest ASUS Zenbook 14, an ultraportable laptop designed to complement users’ lifestyles and ambitions. Available with Intel (UX3480AA), AMD (UX3480KA), and Snapdragon (UX3480QA) processors, the new lineup combines Zenbook-exclusive Ceraluminum craftsmanship in eye-catching new colors with AI-powered performance and a sleek, lightweight design.

Product Marketing Lead for Consumer Notebook Rachelle Lozares, Product Marketer for Workspace Gears Jash Bacani present the latest Zenbook 14 and ZenMouse MD202.

“The goal isn't perfection. The goal is to help the laptop age better over time,” said Rachelle Lozares, Consumer Notebook Product Marketing Lead at ASUS Philippines. At the heart of the new Zenbook 14 is a simple philosophy: great design is not about adding more – it's about refining what matters.

Thinner, lighter, and stronger, the Zenbook 14 is built with longevity in mind, designed to retain its premium look and feel over time and remain a lasting companion as users’ needs and lifestyles evolve. Today’s laptop is more than a productivity tool; it’s a companion that reflects individual style and identity, with new colorways designed to make that experience distinctly personal.

The Zenbook 14 is also intended for mobility without compromise in mind, weighing as little as 1.1kg to make it easy to bring from one setting to another without sacrificing performance. Its slim, refined form combines nature-inspired elegance with durability, while all-day battery life helps users stay productive throughout the day. Smooth multitasking, AI-powered performance, an available vivid 16:10 OLED display, dual speakers, and full I/O ensure that work, entertainment, and everything in between remain within reach.

The Art of Mobility without Compromise


Designed for modern Filipinos who work, learn, and connect from anywhere, ASUS Zenbook 14 balances premium craftsmanship with effortless mobility. Weighing as light as 1.1kg and housed in a durable all-metal chassis, the laptop is built to move seamlessly between classrooms, offices, cafés, and travel destinations.

The lid is crafted from ASUS-exclusive Ceraluminum, a high-tech material that delivers exceptional durability while creating a distinctive ceramic-like tactile experience. The new generation of Zenbook 14 introduces three nature-inspired colorways – Arctic Blue, Komodo Coral, and Zabriskie Beige – bringing personality and self-expression to premium computing. Engineered to resist scratches, smudges, and everyday wear, Ceraluminum transforms the laptop from a productivity tool into an object users will genuinely enjoy carrying and using every day.

Combined with up to 33 hours of battery life, fast charging capabilities, and a compact USB-C charger that can also power other everyday devices, Zenbook 14 is designed to keep pace with life on the move.

Intelligence in every interaction

ASUS offers the Zenbook 14 across three distinct processor platforms, each certified as a Copilot+ PC featuring dedicated NPUs delivering up to 50 TOPS AI performance:

• Zenbook 14 UX3480AA: up to Intel Core Ultra 9 Series 3 processors with up to a 50 TOPS NPU

• Zenbook 14 UX3480KA: up to an AMD Ryzen AI 7 345 processor with a 50 TOPS NPU

• Zenbook 14 UX3480QA: Snapdragon X processor with a 45 TOPS NPU

Each model is designed to support AI-enhanced experiences, helping users browse, create, collaborate, and multitask more efficiently. From AI-assisted productivity tools to intelligent search, content creation, and Copilot+ PC experiences, Zenbook 14 brings powerful AI capabilities into everyday workflows.

Designed for smooth, sustained performance, the improved thermal system uses a larger fan and refined airflow to move heat away more efficiently, maintaining quiet and comfortable operation throughout the day. Added dust protection helps maintain consistent operation, and the system supports up to a 35W TDP, a 25% increase over the previous generation.

See More, Connect All

ASUS Zenbook 14 is designed around the belief that the best technology should feel effortless. It features a vibrant ASUS OLED display with a spacious 16:10 aspect ratio and up to 89% screen-to-body ratio, giving users more room to focus, create, and consume content. Local configurations offer stunning ASUS OLED display for exceptional visual clarity and smoothness.

Dual speakers enhanced with Dolby Atmos deliver immersive audio, while a larger smart-gesture touchpad and comfortable backlit keyboard create a more intuitive interaction experience.

For enhanced on-the-go connectivity, every Zenbook 14 includes a comprehensive set of I/O ports, including USB-C, USB Type-A, HDMI, and an audio combo jack. This effectively eliminates the need for dongles in everyday use, making it easy to connect to any peripheral.

The new ASUS Zenbook 14 delivers a signature combination of refined design, intelligent performance, and thoughtful usability, making it an ideal entry point into on-the-go computing for the new mobile generation. It offers premium design without the premium price tag, and it feels as good as it performs.


Best Paired with the new ASUS ZenMouse MD202


The ZenMouse MD202 is a refined wireless mouse featuring a premium Ceraluminum top cover designed to match perfectly with the Zenbook series. Available in Moher Gray and Scandinavian White, its ceramic-like finish delivers a distinctive tactile feel while resisting wear, scratches, shocks, and smudges. The ZenMouse also features dual-mode Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity, supporting up to four devices simultaneously, while its Track-on-Glass sensor enables precise tracking across a wide range of surfaces.

Designed for seamless productivity, the ZenMouse combines long-lasting performance with extensive customization. Its rechargeable battery provides up to seven months of use, while USB-C fast charging delivers up to 16 hours of use from just one minute of charging. Through the MyASUS app, users can assign shortcuts for frequently used functions and customize mouse sensitivity from 800 to 4200dpi, allowing the ZenMouse to adapt to different workflows and tasks.

AVAILABILITY & PRICING

Starting October 7, the latest ASUS Zenbook 14 (UX3480) series will be available in the Philippines in three CPU configurations: Intel and AMD in Arctic Blue and Snapdragon in Komodo Coral. The Snapdragon in Zabriskie Beige will follow later this Q4 2026.

IV OF SPADES finds freedom in the unexpected with new single “Rollercoaster”

Reggae rhythms, indie-rock energy, and Manila Sound collide on the quartet’s colorful new offering


Fresh from a strong showing at the 2026 Awit Awards, where they took home Album of the Year and Song of the Year, and the Filipino Music Awards, where they won Alternative Song of the Year, Filipino band IV OF SPADES returns with “Rollercoaster,” a new single that explores the exhilaration of surrendering to the moment and embracing life’s unpredictable turns.

Released during the band’s US/Canada tour, “Rollercoaster” borrows from a colorful palette of sonic influences while retaining the inventive sensibility that has defined their previous work.

A vibrant, psychedelic-leaning track, “Rollercoaster” integrates the rhythmic pulse of reggae with indie rock and Manila Sound sensibilities. It’s a buoyant, groove-forward song that veers away from the usual hit-making formula: carefree and laid-back, but brimming with summertime infectiousness.

The song evokes an open-road journey: windows down, music turned up, and nowhere in particular to be. Its easygoing groove lends itself to late-night gatherings and spontaneous moments with friends, embracing the song’s themes of freedom, movement, and the thrill of letting go.

“Rollercoaster” serves as the second song released by IV OF SPADES this year, following “Isang Pag-ibig,” which dropped last month. The latter has racked up more than three million streams on combined platforms and has peaked at No. 18 on YouTube Music’s Trending Music charts. “Isang Pag-ibig” was originally posted to the band’s SoundCloud page in 2015, and was later on revisited for a 2026 re-release.

IV OF SPADES’ “Rollercoaster” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.

From Tiis Ganda to Holiday Ganda: Rethinking Period Pain This Christmas


There’s no perfect English translation for tiis-ganda. The distinctly Filipino expression captures the idea of enduring discomfort or inconvenience in the name of looking good, keeping up appearances, or simply getting through what needs to be done.

And what better time for women to endure this expectation than the holidays?

For many women, that idea of tiis can extend beyond beauty, from wearing uncomfortable shoes for an event to pushing through period pain just to make it through the pain. During the holidays, when there are dinners to attend, reunions to show up for, and celebrations to smile through, it can be even easier to fall into the habit of tiis-ganda, putting on a good face and carrying on, even when your body is telling you otherwise.

But looking good and showing up for the moments that matter shouldn’t have to mean putting up with pain. This holiday season, it may be time to rethink what tiis-ganda really means and make a little more room for feeling good, too.

“Period pain is often treated as something women simply have to work around, especially during busy seasons when there are so many plans to keep up with. But experiencing pain shouldn’t mean putting your needs on the back burner. said Micol Cansino, Hyscoine N-butylbromide (Buscopan) Senior Brand Manager. “We want to encourage women to better understand their symptoms and feel more confident about taking steps to manage their period pain, so they can spend less time worrying about discomfort and more time enjoying the moments they’ve been looking forward to.”

When “Tiis Ganda” Becomes the Holiday Routine

For some women, tiis-ganda means pushing through discomfort to keep showing up—abdominal cramps and all. But period pain, medically known as dysmenorrhea, is more than something to simply endure; it happens when prostaglandins trigger uterine contractions, causing the familiar pain in the lower abdomen.

Don’t simply tiis-ganda through period pain, pay attention to its severity, timing, duration, and impact on your daily activities, and seek appropriate relief or medical advice when the pain regularly interferes with everyday life.

Keeping track of these patterns can also give you useful information to share with a healthcare professional, particularly if the pain is severe, unusual, or increasingly disruptive.

Beyond “Tiis-Ganda”: Ways to Make Holiday Plans More Period-Friendly

Breaking the tiis-ganda habit doesn’t necessarily mean saying no to every plan when your period comes around. It can simply mean being more intentional about taking care of yourself, too.

Don’t forget the basics: eat regularly, stay hydrated, and take small breaks between holiday errands and celebrations, while keeping your period essentials within reach. Most importantly, know your options for managing menstrual cramps rather than simply tiis-ing through the festivities; consider appropriate relief based on your symptoms and always follow medication directions.

For women experiencing mild to severe dysmenorrhea, Hyoscine N-butylbromide + Paracetamol (Buscopan Venus) helps treat dysmenorrhea at the source. It works in as fast as 15 minutes and can be taken as 1–2 tablets, up to 3 times daily, or as prescribed by a physician.
Bring on the Holiday Ganda—Minus the Tiis

Moving beyond tiis-ganda doesn’t mean giving up on the plans, celebrations, or moments you’ve been looking forward to. It means recognizing that taking care of yourself is just as important as showing up for everyone else.

“Your Christmas calendar already has enough guests, so period pain doesn’t have to be on the invite list. By knowing your cycle, listening to your body, and being prepared with appropriate ways to manage discomfort, you can give yourself a better chance to enjoy the celebrations and the moments you’ve been looking forward to. This holiday season, we hope women feel empowered to move beyond tiis and make room for feeling good, too,” Cansino concluded.

Because maybe tiis-ganda was never meant to mean enduring everything. The best kind of holiday ganda isn’t just about looking your best, it’s about feeling well enough to show up, stay present, and enjoy the moments you don’t want to miss.

How the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G and Watch S Fit Into a Day That Never Slows Down


Some days are planned down to the hour. Others take shape as they go: a full day at work or school, a quick coffee that turns into a long conversation, a run squeezed in before sunset, and an invitation to go somewhere as you’re about to head home. Somewhere along the way are the moments you’ll want to remember, like the people you were with, the places you found, and the details that made the day feel like yours.

Capturing those moments has become part of how today’s generation tells its stories. A photo can hold on to a fleeting scene and a short video can bring friends back to a shared experience. But when the day refuses to slow down, creating something worth keeping should feel as natural as noticing the moment in the first place.


That is where the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G and the OPPO Watch S each come in. The OPPO Reno16 Series 5G puts capturing and creating at the heart of its Pocket Studio experience, while the OPPO Watch S keeps essential updates, music controls, and fitness information within easy reach, whether users are on the move or spending time with friends. One keeps you connected; the other helps you capture, create, and keep up. Together, they support a day that is meant to be lived as much as it is documented.

Keep your day moving from your wrist

The day usually starts with notifications. With the OPPO Watch S, calls and messages are accessible right from the wrist, so whether you are commuting to class, walking into the office, or simply trying to stay focused on what you're doing, a quick glance can help you decide what needs your attention without interrupting the moment.

Music controls are just as convenient. Start a playlist on the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G, then use the Watch S to skip tracks or adjust the volume from your wrist, keeping the soundtrack to your day moving with fewer interruptions.

And when one of those messages turns out to be the barkada asking to meet for coffee after class, the OPPO Watch S has done its job of keeping you in the loop. What happens next is the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G’s to capture.

Turn the moments in between into Pocket Studio memories

At the café, the best moments rarely wait for anyone to get ready: the drinks lined up on the table, a friend mid-laugh, the whole group finally in one place. Through its Pocket Studio experience, the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G gives users a versatile imaging system for everything from barkada portraits and café snaps to travel adventures, events, and spontaneous moments.

On the OPPO Reno16 5G, each of the four 50MP cameras has a part to play. The 50MP Ultra-Clear Main Camera takes in the table spread and the café details, the 50MP Telephoto Portrait Camera frames a friend from across the table, the 50MP Ultra Wide Camera fits the whole barkada and the room around them, and the 50MP Ultra-Wide Selfie Camera makes space for everyone in the group selfie. That is four perspectives in one phone, without a separate camera setup to carry.

Capturing the moment is only half of it. Pop Cam brings nostalgic looks such as Digicam, Instant Film, and Light Leak straight into the native Camera app, so a shot can carry its mood from the second it is taken. AI Remix Collage and Motion Photo Popout 2.0 then turn those café shots into expressive, social-ready posts, sometimes before the group has even left the table. On the Reno16 Series 5G, the moment goes from capture to creation in the same place, with fewer steps in between.

Pick up the pace with the Watch S

By late afternoon, the day shifts gears again, and the OPPO Watch S moves back to the front. Its more than 100 sports modes cover a wide range of activities, while 12 professional sports modes offer more detailed tracking for users who want to understand their performance.

Runners can go deeper with Pro Running Mode, which brings together dual-band GPS, posture analysis, fat burn tracking, and lactate threshold insights. Once the run is done, the activity information is easy to review on the paired Reno16 Series 5G. And with the phone already in hand, Pocket Studio is ready for what comes next, whether that is a post-run photo with the running group or the sunset caught on the cool-down walk home.

Keep up with everything in between

Then comes the message so many busy days end with: an invitation to go somewhere just as you're about to head home. Powered by ColorOS 16, the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G is built to keep up with that part of the day too.

AI Mind Space gives users a dedicated place to collect and organize useful information, so the meeting place, the reservation details, or the link a friend just sent do not get lost across different apps. Nano Second Smooth keeps everyday interactions fast and responsive while jumping between chats, maps, and the camera. And when the barkada asks for copies of the day's photos, O+ Connect serves as an iOS Bridge for easier file sharing between compatible OPPO and iPhone devices, so friends on either side get them.

Through it all, the roles stay clear. The OPPO Watch S keeps users connected to what is happening at a glance, while the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G takes on the heavier lifting: capturing, creating, organizing, and sharing as the day unfolds.


Best Paired with OPPO Watch S & OPPO Pad 5

Complete your ecosystem with the OPPO Watch S, available in Phantom Black for ₱9,999 and Silver Gleam for ₱10,999 on the OPPO online store.

For a day that never slows down, the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G and OPPO Watch S are made to keep pace together, one keeping you connected and the other ready to capture, create, and keep up with whatever comes next. The OPPO Reno16 Series 5G is now available in the Philippines. Visit the OPPO Online Store or your nearest OPPO Store nationwide to get yours and discover how it pairs with the OPPO Watch S for a smarter, more connected everyday experience.

To know more about the OPPO Reno16 Series 5G visit OPPO Philippines’ official website at www.oppo.com/ph/ or OPPO Philippines’ official social media pages on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.
