With temperatures soaring and electricity costs rising, staying cool and comfortable this summer has become both a necessity and a challenge for many Filipino households. According to PAGASA, the northeast monsoon (amihan) is coming to an end, bringing even hotter days ahead.

As temperatures are expected to continue to climb, so does the demand for energy-efficient cooling appliances.

Personal Collection Champions Women’s Entrepreneurship this Women’s Month Majority of PC dealers are women, with access to low startup costs and quality products

Tweet

Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) make up 99.5% of business establishments in the Philippines, driving employment, innovation, and economic growth. But did you know that more than half of them are owned by women?

A report by the Asian Development Bank states that a remarkable 55.8% of MSMEs in the country are owned or led by women. Of which, women entirely own 79%, while 19% are majority-owned by women.

Yet, the same report says that despite their strong presence, women-led businesses face barriers in financing, gender bias, balancing responsibilities, and digital adoption. Despite these challenges, women entrepreneurs continue to thrive and contribute immensely to the economy.

Personal Collection’s commitment to women’s entrepreneurship

Leading Filipino-owned direct selling company Personal Collection (PC) has long been a champion of women’s empowerment through business ownership. Majority of its million-strong dealers being women, PC built a community that uplifts and supports Filipinas in their journey toward financial independence. Their direct selling model provides an accessible, low-risk opportunity for women to start and scale their businesses without the financial and operational barriers of traditional enterprises.

By keeping startup costs low, PC ensures that women can access high-quality, in-demand products, making it easier for them to begin on their entrepreneurial journey.

Aside from providing the opportunity to start a business with minimal capital, PC also empowers women to achieve financial independence by allowing them to earn based on their efforts and strategies. This financial freedom boosts their confidence, enabling them to break through gender biases, pursue personal goals, support their families, and create a better future for themselves and their loved ones.

Moreover, PC offers comprehensive training and mentorship in sales, leadership, and business management, equipping women with essential skills to thrive in a competitive market even in online selling platforms to help them grow and expand their businesses.

Why women’s success is everyone’s success

The success of women is not just about individual achievement—it has a profound impact on families and the society as a whole. When women succeed, their families prosper, their communities thrive, and they inspire younger women to dream bigger and strive for more.

Personal Collection recognizes that women are not just entrepreneurs—they have lives beyond their work. PC promotes flexibility, understanding that women juggle multiple roles, from being mothers to pursuing their passions. By empowering women in all aspects of life, PC drives their success in business and strengthens their roles in the community and the economy.

“At Personal Collection, women are the heart and soul of our business—majority of our dealers are women, and their success is our success. We’ve built more than just a business, we’ve created a movement that empowers women to lead, earn, and achieve their dreams on their own terms. When we uplift women, we uplift families, communities, and ultimately, the entire nation," Personal Collection Chairman, Jun Evangelista said.

The insurer achieved Php 9.8 billion in new business premiums, ahead of its closest competitor by 8.87%

Pru Life UK continues to lead the Philippine life insurance industry, achieving the highest New Business Annual Premium Equivalent (NBAPE) of Php 9.8 billion in full year 2024 according to the latest Insurance Commission report. The company stayed strong with its 33% quarter-on-quarter growth in the fourth quarter of 2024, widening the gap to 8.87% compared to its nearest competitor. In particular, Pru Life UK is strong in Premium Income from Variable Life Insurance with a total of Php 46.1 billion and Renewal Premium Income from Variable Life Insurance reaching Php 36.2 billion.

This performance demonstrates Pru Life UK's commitment to protecting more Filipino families through innovative insurance solutions that cater to their evolving needs and the high level of trust customers place in the company. Recently, Pru Life UK introduced PRUMillion Flex, a limited-offer investment-linked insurance plan with a short two-year payment period, and PRUFlexi Income Fund, which provides potential monthly payouts from global investments. These new offerings address the growing demand for wealth-building options, giving Filipinos more ways to secure their financial future.

DITO Kick Starts 2025 by Landing Major Global Awards in Barcelona

Tweet

DITO Telecommunity, the fastest-growing telco in the country, clinches three prestigious awards during the recently concluded 2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain— winning the Best Digital Experience Platform from Whale Cloud, the First Large-Scale Redcap FWA Commercial Deployment in the World award from Huawei Technologies, and Fastest Mobile Network from Opensignal.

DITO Telecommunity Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr. Eric Alberto accepts the award for Best Digital Experience Platform from Whale Cloud Global CEO Mr. Ben Zhou.

These awards recognize DITO's immense and valuable contribution to delivering new technologies, aggressive 5G deployment, and high-speed connectivity in the Philippines.

Whale Cloud, a leading technology company, granted DITO the Best Digital Experience Platform award, acknowledging the young telco's leadership in operational excellence and groundbreaking innovations in the digital space.

Meanwhile, Huawei's First Large-Scale RedCap FWA Commercial Deployment in the World award validates DITO's significant contribution to 5G deployment in the Philippines when it launched the DITO Home WOWFi last year–the first ever 5G RedCap WiFi in the world for home application, driving the future of digital homes in the country.

DITO Telecommunity Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Eric Alberto, accepts the recognition for the First Large-Scale RedCap FWA Commercial Deployment in the World from Mr. Jason Tao of Huawei Technologies.

Powered by DITO's true 5G network or 5G standalone (SA) infrastructure, the DITO Home WOWFi is a breakthrough product made possible through DITO's strategic partnership with Huawei Technologies, a global leader in 5G deployment. This home WiFi is the most value-packed wireless broadband in the market and the most affordable way to experience 5G connectivity. It capitalizes on the power of 5G RedCap, a dynamic new version of 5G which offers the right balance of 5G capabilities such as low latency, high peak data rate, and maximum capacity.

This emerging 5G technology is globally used for industrial and manufacturing. But here in the Philippines, DITO paved the way to bring this technology straight to Filipino homes, allowing households to enjoy the benefits of 5G at a very affordable price.

Last, but certainly not the least, DITO also won Opensignal's Fastest Mobile Network award with a robust 5G download speed of 287.2 Mbps and an overall download speed of 34.6 Mbps, leaving competition far behind in the speed race.

Opensignal hailed DITO as the Fastest Mobile Network in the Philippines. DITO Telecommunity executives, led by Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Mr. Eric Alberto, officially received the award during the recently concluded 2025 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain.

Now in its fourth year of commercial operations, these achievements solidify DITO's position further as the duopoly disruptor, leading the way in providing digital excellence, access to affordable 5G solutions, and high-speed connectivity.

According to DITO Telecommunity CEO Mr. Eric Alberto, these global recognitions validate the company's growing contribution and significance in the telco landscape.

"We're glad to be recognized by global industry giants like Whale Cloud, Huawei, and Opensignal. For four years, we've been relentless in pursuing the right balance between providing next-gen products and services, while maintaining our value-for-money stance, to provide more digital access to millions of Filipinos nationwide. Receiving these awards validate that we've reached a new level of operational excellence in 5G deployment, network speed, and performance. Truly, we're thankful to all our supportive DITOzens and progressive business partners for helping put DITO on the map on the global ICT stage," Alberto said.
