Create Boldly with Galaxy Z Fold7 & Galaxy Z Flip7, Your AI-Powered Studio in Your Pocket

Imagine It, Create It: How Galaxy AI's Intelligent Tools Transform a Smartphone into a Personal Creative Studio

We draw inspiration from experiences, people, and the world around us—but true creativity ignites from within and now it finds its canvas right in the palm of your hand. With Samsung’s latest foldable phones Galaxy Z Fold7,  Galaxy Z Flip7, and Galaxy Z Flip7 FE, the sleekest and lightest devices in the series – running through One UI 8 on Android 16 and powered by Galaxy AI, Samsung’s suite of artificial intelligence features, your device becomes a portable creative studio where your visions can be brought to life.


Your Photos, Your Way

Elevate your photo and video editing game using Photo Assist and your once rough concept can be polished and transformed into a stunning visual through the Sketch-to-Image feature that intelligently interprets your doodles and drafts, turning them into refined, high-quality illustrations.

Anybody who is passionate about taking photos knows the frustration of an almost-perfect shot.

Maybe there's an unwanted object in the background, or perhaps someone walked through your carefully composed frame. Generative Edit solves that problem. Just select a photo from your gallery, enable editing mode, tap the blue AI icon and encircle the object you want to adjust.

With a simple tap and hold, you can delete it using Object Eraser, resize it, or move it to a better position.

The latest Galaxy Z series also has the new Suggest Erases feature, an AI-powered tool that provides proactive suggestions as it automatically detects passersby with the tap of a button.

And just by dragging the slider below the photo, you can even adjust the angle of your shot using and intelligently fill in the missing pixels, maintaining realism and depth with AI-powered precision by dragging the slider below the photo.

Portrait Studio on the other hand can transform everyday moments into eye-catching shots using a variety of artistic styles such as comic, 3D cartoon, watercolor, or sketch.

Smart Tools for Seamless Video Creation

For some aspiring creators, video editing can be intimidating. But with Galaxy AI, you can create a compelling video in just a few taps. The Instant Slowmo feature helps create cinematic drama by generating additional frames based on motion, allowing you to slow down action-packed moments seamlessly.

To use it, select a video from your Gallery, press and hold the part you want in slow motion, then tap the edit “pencil” tool to finalize and save. Alternatively, you can also tap the edit tool, select the speed icon, adjust the slider to choose the section and speed, then save or save a copy.

Whether it's chatter in a café or wind noise from an outdoor shoot, Audio Eraser is your best friend for cleaning up your soundtracks and removing unwanted background noise from your videos. It is now more intelligent on the latest Galaxy Z series, isolating and eliminating these sounds while preserving the clarity of voices or music.

Galaxy AI houses intelligent tools that not only spark creativity but also boost productivity through Ambient AI, which anticipates, understands, and adapts to user’s behavior and evolving needs – a breakthrough that makes the Galaxy Z Fold7, Z Flip7, and Z Flip7 FE the most powerful foldables yet.

Every artist, content creator, and storyteller begins with imagination and with Galaxy AI, visions can be transformed into reality. Create what you imagine with the Galaxy Z Fold7 or Galaxy Z Flip7 FE—now with 6 months of Google AI Pro and 2TB of cloud storage included.

Perfect photos made effortless with vivo X200 FE’s AI Image Studio


You know the feeling: you take a photo that is good but not quite perfect. Maybe the angle is off, the frame feels too tight, or a reflection sneaks in. Normally, you’d need to download different editing apps just to fix these little flaws.

With the vivo X200 FE's AI Image Studio, those little imperfections no longer stand in the way. Featuring AI Magic Move, AI Image Expander, and AI Reflection Erase, this all-in-one editing suite turns everyday photos into flawless highlights in just a few taps.

AI Magic Move: Put the spotlight where it belongs

We’ve all been there: your crush is sitting a little too far in the photo, or maybe you wish that perfect candid had made you look more together.

We also had moments when the background looked amazing, but the subject was stuck on the side, or maybe the group shot was perfect except you wish you were standing closer to the middle. The vivo X200 FE's AI Magic Move makes this frustration disappear.

With a long press in your chosen photo, you can hold your subject, drag it to the perfect spot, resize if needed, and let the AI fill in the background seamlessly. It feels like having a professional photo editor inside your phone.

From bringing you to the center of attention to highlighting your friend in a travel photo, AI Magic Move ensures your pictures always look intentional and polished.

AI Image Expander: When the frame feels too small

Sometimes a photo is too good to feel cramped. That breathtaking sunset deserves a wider sky.

Young professionals live for moments worth sharing, just like weekend trips, cityscapes, and those golden-hour shots that deserve to breathe. Sometimes the frame feels too tight, and that’s where AI Image Expander comes in.

Your Ultimate Guide to Credit Without the Burnout


Let’s face it: credit is often misunderstood. For some, it’s a safety net. For others, it’s a cycle they can’t break. But the truth is, credit—when used with intention—can be one of your most powerful financial tools. The difference lies in how it’s built, and who it’s built for.

That’s where Maya, the #1 Digital Bank in the Philippines, stands out. Instead of treating credit as a one-size-fits-all solution, Maya designs tools that adapt to your real life—whether you’re managing emergencies, covering essentials, or working toward long-term financial wellness.


Here’s how Maya helps you borrow smarter, not harder:
Credit That Works When You Need It

Emergencies don’t wait for ideal timing. That’s why Maya offers Easy Credit[1], a revolving credit line of up to ₱30,000, available instantly when you need it. There’s no paperwork needed, and with up to 30 days to repay what you use.

The best part? It’s built into the Maya app, right where you manage the rest of your finances, so you stay in control without disruption.

Credit Without the Catch

When you need more than just a short-term boost, Maya Personal Loan[2] gives you access to up to ₱250,000, with flexible repayment terms of up to 24 months. No collateral required.

Whether you’re handling a major life expense or consolidating existing debt, Maya’s loan product is designed to be predictable and manageable, so borrowing doesn’t turn into burden.

Credit Cards with Built-In Discipline and Rewards

The right credit card doesn’t just help you spend, it helps you earn. Maya’s Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card gives you up to 5% on Landers purchases, 2% on dining, and 1% on all other qualified transactions.

Looking for something elevated? The Maya Black Credit Card delivers more than just sleek design. It lets you earn instant Maya Miles—versatile points every time you spend. You can soon use them to pay for shopping or dining, convert your Maya Miles into airline miles right in the app, starting with partners like Philippine Airlines. Plus, get access to exclusive rewards through Maya’s in-app catalog, giving you more value with every spend.

Tools to Help You Borrow and Save Simultaneously

Maya understands that the best borrowing decisions happen when you're not operating on panic. That’s why you can pair your credit use with Personal Goals inside Maya. Create up to 5 savings goals, each earning 4% p.a. interest, and build buffers for upcoming expenses, from tuition to travel.

Responsible borrowing doesn’t mean saying no to credit. It means choosing tools that meet you where you are and help you grow from there.

Maya is here to champion financial choices that reflect who you are and where you’re going. That means more transparency, more control, and more respect for your time and your effort.

Communities Affected Globe Supports by Typhoons Crising, Dante and Emong

Globe has stepped up its humanitarian response following Typhoons Crising, Dante, and Emong, as well as persistent rains brought by the southwest monsoon. Families across Luzon and Visayas received food and essential supplies through Globe’s ongoing partnership with Rise Against Hunger (RAH) Philippines.

Globe has distributed more than 3,000 food packs to support 1,050 families. These were delivered to communities in Pasay, Pasig, Quezon City, Taytay, La Union, Bulacan, Tarlac, Nueva Vizcaya, Dasmariñas, and Biñan. The aid focused on ready-to-eat meals for displaced residents and those still recovering from widespread flooding.

“We know how quickly crises can upend lives,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe’s Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer. “That’s why we work with partners to deliver immediate support where it matters most. We remain present where we’re needed, reconnecting communities and extending relief with empathy and care. Even as recovery progresses, our commitment to serve doesn’t stop.”

Globe’s work also includes restoring vital connectivity. Network services have now been fully restored in municipalities affected by recent typhoons.


To help residents stay connected, Globe also deployed Libreng Tawag, Libreng Charging (LTLC) stations in areas with limited access to power or mobile service. These were activated in Antipolo, Taytay, several barangays in Quezon City, Valenzuela, Tanza, Imus City, and Gerona. The stations gave residents a way to reach loved ones and access critical updates.

Globe works closely with government agencies, local governments, and humanitarian groups to ensure fast, coordinated response. These efforts are part of the company’s long-term disaster resilience program focused on readiness, restoration, and recovery.

Customers who wish to support ongoing relief operations may donate to Rise Against Hunger via the GlobeOne app. For updates, visit globe.com.ph or follow Globe’s official social media channels.

All Eyes Up: PlayTime Welcomes Its Muse, Heaven Peralejo


PlayTime, the country’s most innovative online entertainment and gaming platform, has found its perfect match in one of today’s most dynamic young stars: Heaven Peralejo.


It’s official -  Actress Heaven Peralejo joins PlayTime as its newest addition to its brand ambassador list together with Vic Sotto.
-----------------------------------------------------------
PlayTime is the go-to online gaming platform for everyday Filipinos. PlayTime was built with the Filipino mass market in mind — it’s fun, fast, and full of ways to win.
-----------------------------------------------------------

At the exclusive “All Eyes Up: PlayTime Welcomes Its Muse” press event held last August 21 at Grand Hyatt, PlayTime formally introduced Heaven Peralejo as its newest brand endorser. The event was attended by press, media and key players in the online entertainment scene, with the celebration signaling a growing community for PlayTime.

Heaven represents the heart of the everyday Filipino. Her journey mirrors what PlayTime stands for: pushing forward, enjoying the ride, and celebrating every win.


“Heaven brings a mix of charm, strength, and relatability that mirrors what PlayTime stands for,” said Krizia Cortez, Director of Public Relations. “We’re thrilled to welcome her as part of our growing family.”

The partnership aims to empower users to play with fun and confidence. PlayTime is not just here for the thrill — it wants users to feel safe, valued, and empowered every time they log in.


Through Heaven, PlayTime is showing that gaming isn’t just for the pros— it’s for everyone who wants a bit more excitement in their day.

Here are some questions and answers of Heaven during the recent event:


What made you say yes to being PlayTime’s newest endorser?
"PlayTime stood out to me because it champions entertainment as its core. I love that it encourages people to enjoy, but with responsibility and heart. That’s something I believe in. Fun doesn't have to be reckless,"said Heaven.
How does your personality/ values/ career goals align with PlayTime as a brand?
"This partnership fits perfectly with what I stand for. PlayTime is not just about winning; it shines a spotlight on the Filipino cheer that is brought out by entertainment platforms. I'm excited to be part of a platform that uplifts Filipino talent and promotes responsible fun."
What do you hope your fans take away from this campaign?
"That it’s okay to take breaks, to find happiness in small things, and that play—done right—is healthy. I also want to remind everyone that even online, you can be empowered, respectful, and responsible."
What does responsible gaming mean to you personally?
"PlayTime is about balance—knowing when to enjoy and when to pause. We believe gaming should be a source of entertainment, but always within the bounds of personal responsibility. That means recognizing limits, setting healthy boundaries, and making space to disconnect when needed. It’s a value I personally embrace as well: reminding myself that while gaming is fun, it’s just as important to step back, breathe, and be present offline."
Guests at the event got a first look at upcoming promos, teasing more surprises in the pipeline as the brand levels up its presence in the online entertainment and gaming space.
