vivo V80 Lite launches in PH with 10000mAh battery at Php 24,999


vivo has officially launched the vivo V80 Lite in the Philippines, bringing its 10000mAh BlueVolt Battery, IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance, and high-brightness display to consumers looking for a smartphone that can keep up with demanding workdays and everything that comes after. The V80 Lite starts at Php 24,999 and will be available for pre-order from October 4 to 16, 2026.

The Guinness World Record holder vivo V80 Lite is designed for young Filipino professionals whose days do not end when the workday does. From meetings, calls, and commutes to side hustles, fitness, social activities, and staying connected with family and friends, the smartphone is built around the idea of staying fully charged and fully free to move from one part of the day to the next.

Customers who pre-order the vivo V80 Lite from October 4 to 16 will receive a package of exclusive offers and freebies, including:

● Limited-edition vivo Buds Air3, worth Php 1,799

● 6GB + 256 GB - Php 27,999


Built for a day that goes beyond work

The vivo V80 Lite is designed for people whose smartphone use extends well beyond office hours, with three key features addressing different parts of an always-moving day.

For professionals who need their phones to keep going: The 10000mAh BlueVolt battery gives users more room to move through long workdays, commutes, and after-hours activities without constantly planning around their next charge. It is vivo’s largest battery capacity globally and is designed for users who rely on their phones from the first task of the day to everything that follows.

For people who take their phones everywhere: The V80 Lite’s IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance gives added protection for users who move between different environments throughout the day. Whether heading out for a commute, working outdoors, exercising, or meeting friends after work, the phone is built to handle exposure to dust and water under rated testing conditions.

For those who stay on the go: The V80 Lite’s 1.5k OLED high-brightness display helps keep content visible when users are navigating busy commutes, checking messages outdoors, or moving between indoor and outdoor settings. Its display is designed to support the same kind of flexibility expected from a phone that needs to follow users throughout the day.




“Today’s professionals are not defined by a strict 9-to-5 schedule, and their smartphones need to keep up with that reality,” said Liu Lu, Brand Marketing Director of vivo Philippines. “The V80 Lite was created for those moments when work ends but the day doesn’t — whether that means pursuing a side hustle, meeting friends, working out, or simply staying connected. We want users to have the freedom to keep going without constantly thinking about their battery or their environment.”

Stay fully charged, stay fully free

With its combination of a 10000mAh BlueVolt battery, IP68 and IP69 protection, and high-brightness display, the vivo V80 Lite is built around a simple idea: a smartphone should support the whole day, not just the working hours.

To be among the first to get the vivo V80 Lite, pre-order now through vivo physical stores and official channels via the vivo e-store and the vivo Store app. For the latest updates, follow vivo Philippines on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X, or visit the vivo website.

The Manila Hotel Named Philippines’ Leading Hotel for Third Consecutive Year


The Manila Hotel has once again been named the Philippines’ Leading Hotel at the 33rd World Travel Awards 2026, marking the Grand Dame’s third consecutive win in the category from 2024 to 2026.

The prestigious recognition was received by Atty. Jose D. Lina, Jr., president of The Manila Hotel, during the World Travel Awards 2026 Gala Ceremony held on September 27 in the Maldives. The win adds to The Manila Hotel’s distinguished record at the World Travel Awards, having been named the Philippines’ Leading Hotel in both 2024 and 2025.


Often regarded as the “Oscars of the travel industry,” the World Travel Awards recognize excellence across the global tourism and hospitality industry. For The Manila Hotel, the three consecutive victories reflect its enduring commitment to Filipino hospitality and its role as a landmark of Philippine heritage and tourism.

“We are deeply grateful to the World Travel Awards for this recognition and to everyone who continues to place their trust in The Manila Hotel,” said Atty. Jose D. Lina, Jr. “Receiving this award for the third consecutive year is a meaningful recognition of our people, whose dedication and passion continue to bring The Manila Hotel’s tradition of service to life. We are equally grateful for the continued trust and loyalty of our guests and patrons, who have been part of our journey through the years. This recognition honors not only the heritage we proudly preserve, but also our commitment to creating meaningful experiences and extending Filipino hospitality from the heart.”


As an iconic national heritage institution, The Manila Hotel continues to bring together its historical significance and modern amenities, offering world-class accommodations, dining, wellness, and recreational experiences grounded in Filipino hospitality. The latest World Travel Awards recognition further strengthens The Manila Hotel’s longstanding presence in the global tourism and hospitality landscape, while reaffirming its place as a historic landmark in the Philippines.


Security Bank's security agency partners support classroom-building campaign



The people who help protect Security Bank every day are also helping build a better future for Filipino children.

Louie De Real, Executive Director of Security Bank Foundation (fourth from left), and Ricardo Llego, Partnership Officer (second from right), receive a donation from Security Bank’s security agencies alongside Gen. Billy Beltran, Security and Safety Head (sixth from left), and Col. Ferjen Torred, Branch Security Operations and Investigation Head (third from left).

Six accredited security agency partners donated cash and in-kind support to Security Bank Foundation’s (SBFI) Bayanihan Para sa Silid-Aralan campaign. Their contributions will help fund the construction of classrooms for public schools across the country.

"As a Security Banker and someone who works closely with our security agency partners, I strongly believe in Security Bank Foundation's advocacy for education. That's why I invited our partner agencies to join us in nation-building by supporting the Bayanihan Para sa Silid-Aralan campaign," said Gen. Billy Beltran, Chief Security Officer at Security Bank.

The participating agencies were Eparwa Security Services, Gallantry Security and Investigation Agency, Magno's Security & Investigation Services, Tarsier Security Agency, BOS Security Solutions and Services, and Quiambao Security Specialists.

The initiative was led by Gen. Beltran and Col. Ferjen Torred, Special Operations Head of the Bank’s Security and Safety Division.

This year, Security Bank Foundation is constructing 60 classrooms for eight public schools nationwide. The agencies’ contributions will help cover rising construction costs and enable SBFI to serve more students and communities.

The campaign forms part of Security Bank Foundation’s Build a School, Build a Nation program. Since 2011, the program has helped address the country's classroom shortage by constructing school facilities for public schools nationwide.

Security Bank Foundation invites individuals and organizations to take part in the campaign. Every contribution helps bring more Filipino children closer to safe and conducive spaces where they can learn, grow, and build their futures. Donate through the Bayanihan Para sa Silid-Aralan donation form.
