Samsung PH Unveils the Top 10 Next-Gen Heroes of Solve for Tomorrow 2025

Meet the Top 10 finalists of Samsung Solve for Tomorrow, each aiming for PHP 2 million in prizes and Samsung gadgets

It’s now official! Samsung reveals the Top 10 finalists of its global program, Solve for Tomorrow competition – now in its 3rd year in the Philippines, and 15th year globally.

Bringing fresh ideas to real-world challenges, Samsung continues its mission to inspire the Filipino next-gen heroes with the return of Solve for Tomorrow 2025, as part of Samsung’s global initiative, partnering with the Department of Education (DepEd) to showcase innovative solutions from all government science high school students in grades 8 to 10, addressing challenges faced by their local communities.

The teams that will move forward to compete for the top 3 grand-winning prizes are: FloodSafe Routes AI from Philippine Science High School - Caraga Region Campus; Mangrove Health Monitor (MaHeMo) from Cavite Science Integrated School; SINAG from Bansud NHS - Regional Science High School; SARIMAX from Pasay City Science High School; The S.W.E.A.T Project from Philippine Science High School Main Campus; ShellTer from Philippine Science High School - Central Luzon Campus; VITALBAND from Marikina Science High School; S.A.G.I.P from Cavite Science Integrated School; BANTALAY from Tuguegarao City Science High School; and EGGNovation from Cavite Science Integrated School.

This year, Samsung garnered over 300 submissions, involving more than 1,000 students from across the Philippines. Each team, with up to four student members, was tasked to create a proposal following this year’s themes: Environmental Sustainability through Technology, Social Change through Tech and Sport, and Solving Community Problems with Artificial Intelligence (AI).

To evaluate this year’s entries, Samsung convened with a distinguished panel of industry leaders from the fields of technology, innovation, and education. The panel includes Monchito Ibrahim, the Executive Member of the National Innovation Council; Michelle S. Alarcon, President of Analytics & Artificial Intelligence Association of the Philippines; Alwyn Rosel, Executive Director of IdeaSpace Foundation and QBO Innovation; and Rachelle Perez, the Campus Program Lead of DEVCON Philippines, together with Dianne Capuz, Head of Consumer and Market Insights from Samsung Electronics Philippines.

The 10 finalists will now embark on an idea mentorship with Samsung experts, collaborating with their assigned coach to refine proposals, build proof-of-concepts, and create mock-ups ahead of the final presentation. This December, they will be presenting their proposals live for a chance to win over PHP 2 million in cash prizes and Samsung devices for their schools, teams, and teacher advisers. Joining the judging panel for the final round is Julius Arguson, Head of Product Engineering and Technical Compliance at Samsung Electronics Philippines.

“We are very happy with the increasing interest in Solve for Tomorrow, as we can see from the growing number of entries and teams joining the competition every year. It shows that more and more students from Science High Schools nationwide are harnessing their STEM knowledge and skills to help solve the issues their communities face, so we can have a better tomorrow,” shared Minsu Chu, President of Samsung Electronics Philippines.

“It is truly a special competition this year as we celebrate our 15th year globally for Solve for Tomorrow, and an honor to witness our Next-Gen Heroes share their innovative ideas powered by science and technology. We look forward to what our top 10 Next-Gen heroes have to offer as they move to the final round of the competition,” he added.

Back and bolder in its third year in the Philippines, Samsung Solve for Tomorrow continues to champion the creativity and compassion of Filipino youth. With this year’s focus on developing real-world solutions through the power of technology and artificial intelligence, the program inspires students to uplift their local communities—proving that innovation is most meaningful when it creates positive change where it matters most.

Petron Introduces New Sprint Scooter Oil —“Subok Sa Bawat Ride”

Petron Corporation, the country’s leading oil company and a trusted name among Filipino motorists, proudly introduces Petron Sprint Scooter Oil, the newest product in its motorcycle engine oil line. Designed specifically for scooter engines, it delivers reliable performance and protection that Filipino riders can count on every day.

Petron Knows You


Across the Philippines, more and more riders are taking to the road on scooters. They are easier to maneuver, making them ideal and practical for navigating traffic or traveling long distances. For millions of Filipinos, owning a scooter is not just about convenience—it represents freedom, independence, and control over their time.

 

Having your own motorcycle gives you true freedom of mobility. You are no longer limited by the schedule or routes of public transportation. You can leave whenever you need to and go wherever you have to.

 

Whether it’s heading to work, taking care of your family, running errands, or going for a weekend ride just to unwind, having a scooter makes daily life easier and more flexible. It is not just a ride—it is a tool that helps you move faster and live more independently every day, but it also comes with responsibilities like maintenance, insurance, and fuel costs, but that is all part of taking good care of your motorcycle.


Every day on the road brings its own challenges. From the heavy traffic in major thoroughfares such as C5, EDSA, and Commonwealth, to unpredictable weather, rough roads, steep climbs, and long, non-stop rides, both riders and their motorcycles are constantly put to the test.

Petron Got You

Petron understands what Filipino riders face every day, that is why Petron Sprint Scooter Oil was developed—to keep every scooter running smoothly and reliably, no matter what the road brings.

We are confidentkumpiyansa tayo in our Petron Sprint Scooter Oil because:


  • Confidence in quality. It has the right viscosity and one of the highest API ratings in the country—even exceeding what scooter engines currently requires.

 

  • Confidence that it is suitable in local road conditions. It performs well in traffic, long rides, uphill roads, and continuous operation under heat or rain.

 

  • Confidence in formulation. It is blended in Petron’s modern facility, one of the top oil blending plants in Southeast Asia, ensuring consistency and reliability.

Built with high quality in mind and priced affordably, it keeps scooters performing at their best every single day.

“We understand the daily challenges of scooter riders—that’s why we developed Petron Sprint Scooter Oil,” said Mr. Virgilio V. Centeno, VP for Industrial Sales. “It was designed to make everyday rides smoother and worry-free, offering high-quality and value-for-money that riders can truly count on.”



Peace of Mind

A truly dependable oil gives riders more than engine protection—it gives them peace of mind. With Petron Sprint Scooter Oil, riders can take on their daily trips with confidence, knowing their scooter will perform smoothly in any condition. Whether it is a morning commute, a delivery route, or a weekend ride, Petron Sprint ensures consistent performance and protection.

When the engine runs smoothly, every journey becomes easier. Riders can focus on what really matters—getting to their destination safely, comfortably, and without worry.

Subok Sa Bawat Ride

The launch of Petron Sprint Scooter Oil celebrates the everyday Filipino rider who faces the road with confidence and determination.

Proven in daily commutes.

Proven through long hours on the road, under extreme heat or in the rain.

Proven in non-stop runs, whether for deliveries or with a passenger.

Proven on long rides that stay the course, even on uphill climbs.

This is the oil made for the #ScooterNation, for Filipinos who move with confidence, powered by Petron.

eufy Launches the World’s First Heated Wearable Pump—Quiet, Hands-Free, and Built for Modern Moms

The eufy Heated Wearable Breast Pump E20 champions innovation and comfort

Being a mom in a modern, fast-paced world has taken an entirely new look. Today, moms are project managers, career women, and business partners. But they’re also nurturers at home, juggling endless to-do lists. With so many things running through the mind of the modern mom each day, the last thing she should have to worry about is the stress of pumping.

Breastfeeding is already a major commitment, and it can be taxing emotionally and physically. While traditional breast pumps have helped moms in the past, the wires, the noise, and the need to sit still in one place for long stretches often make it a struggle to find the time or energy to keep up with so many other things still left to do.

That’s why eufy, a smart home brand launched by Anker Innovations, has expanded its thoughtful design philosophy into products that support the needs of today’s parents. The latest addition to its growing lineup of mom-focused solutions is the eufy Wearable Breast Pump E20, made for today’s multitasking modern mom.

A Smarter, Freer Way to Pump

For many moms, the biggest challenge of traditional breast pumping is comfort. They either feel stuck, have to sit still, or deal with soreness after longer sessions.

The eufy Wearable Breast Pump E20 comes in a fully wireless and hands-free design, giving them the freedom and convenience to move around as they pump. Whether they’re fixing documents at home, answering emails, or spending a few quiet minutes reading a book, the E20 lets them do it all without the hassle of staying glued to one spot.

Its ergonomic design also secures a secure and gentle fit to reduce any feelings of soreness afterwards, and its leakproof build adds to peace of mind. It’s simple improvements to the experience that relieves them of many worries.
The eufy Heated Wearable Breast Pump E20 comes with three (3) adjustable heat levels through its HeatFlow™ technology

At the core of its design is HeatFlow™ technology, which uses gentle warmth to help stimulate milk flow and reduce any discomfort, mimicking a baby’s natural feeding rhythm. The E20 comes with pre-set pumping rhythms and adjustable suction levels, so moms can personalize how they use the pump to the setting that gives them the most ease.

Designed for Quiet Moments

Peace and privacy are luxuries for any mom – especially after a long busy day. In case she still needs to pump during the late-night or while the rest of the family sleeps, the E20 features an ultra-quiet motor for near-silent operation that allows moms to pump without any noise breaking the peace.

Calmness also comes from feeling in control. Moms can pair the E20 with the eufy app giving them full control right from their phone. They can adjust control settings, monitor suction strength, and track sessions in real time.

Even with its compact size, the E20 keeps up with even the busiest routines, offering up to six sessions per full charge. When it’s time to clean up, every part that comes in contact with milk is easy to wash, and it’s BPA-free and safe!

Helping Moms Reclaim Their Time

Motherhood is a nonstop job, but with tools like the eufy Wearable Breast Pump E20, moms can reclaim moments they might have lost to pumping. WIth this latest innovation, eufy continues its mission to bring smart simplicity to modern living, and now, to one of the most meaningful aspects of it – motherhood. The Wearable Breast Pump E20 is not just about making pumping easier for moms, but it’s about giving back their time, freedom, and confidence.

The eufy Wearable Breast Pump E20 is now available through the official eufy website and on the official eufy stores on Lazada and Shopee for PHP 9,995.
