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.

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.

The Ber Months Moneymaxxing Guide: Your Cheat Sheet for Getting Holiday-Ready


The Ber months are officially here, which means your calendar, and probably your expenses, are about to get a lot busier. With more things competing for your budget, a little planning now can help you enjoy the season without feeling like all your expenses are hitting at once.

The move? Moneymaxx your way through the Ber months: start preparing early, make your money work harder, and get more value from the spending you’re already planning to do.

Here’s your guide to getting your money holiday-ready with Maya.

1. Start building your holiday fund now

You don’t need to suddenly stop eating out, cancel every weekend plan, or swear off online shopping until December just to have money for Christmas.

Instead of waiting for one big paycheck to cover everything, you can slowly build your holiday fund in Maya Personal Goals, where you can create up to five separate savings goals and earn up to 8% interest p.a., making it easier to organize your budget for gifts, travel, celebrations, or whatever else is on your holiday list.

Your Christmas budget gets built little by little, and earns while you save, while the rest of your money can still go toward actually enjoying the Ber months.

2. Make the money you’ve already set aside work harder

Your holiday fund doesn’t have to sit around doing nothing until you’re ready to spend it.

With Maya Savings, you can earn up to 15% interest p.a., credited daily, giving the money you’ve already set aside a chance to keep growing while you count down to the holiday break.

After all, Moneymaxxing isn’t just about spending smarter. It’s also about making your money work harder even when you’re not using it yet.

3. Decide what you want back from all that holiday spending

Once the holiday spending starts, ask yourself another question before reaching for a card: What do I want this purchase to give me back?

If cashback is your priority, the Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card lets cardholders earn up to 5% cashback at Landers, 2% on dining, and 1% on most other purchases.

If you’re already thinking about where you want to go in 2027, the Maya Black Credit Card lets cardholders earn Maya Miles on their spending, including up to 10x Maya Miles at Maya Black Preferred merchants. Maya Miles can then be redeemed for travel and other lifestyle rewards.

4. Make your holiday spending anywhere in the Philippines count

Holiday spending happens everywhere: from the mall where you’re buying gifts and the restaurant hosting your barkada reunion to the neighborhood shop where you’re picking up something at the last minute.

With the Maya Card, you can earn 1% cashback on eligible purchases anywhere in the Philippines, giving you a simple way to get something back from the holiday spending you were already planning to do.

5. When the purchase is big, Make it Mini

Maybe your phone finally needs replacing. Maybe you’re buying an appliance for the house before relatives arrive. Or maybe you’ve found the big-ticket Christmas gift you’ve been planning for.

A bigger expense doesn’t automatically have to take one big bite out of your month’s cash flow. When the purchase is big, make it mini with Maya Mini Payments. Eligible purchases can be converted into 3, 6, 9, or 12 monthly payments, giving you more flexibility to manage the expense alongside everything else on your holiday list.

Before converting a purchase, look at the months ahead and choose a repayment plan you can comfortably accommodate.

Moneymaxx beyond the holidays

The holidays may be one of the busiest spending seasons of the year, but Moneymaxxing isn’t about having a perfectly planned Christmas or cutting out everything you enjoy.

It’s about being more intentional with the money you already have: save earlier, make it work harder, get more from the spending you’re already doing, and manage bigger expenses on your terms.
