With the rainy season officially washing over the Philippines, every commuter, traveler, and on-the-go user knows the struggle of dashing through a sudden downpour while juggling an umbrella, a bag, and a smartphone. If you’re worried about your phone slipping from your hands or getting caught in an unexpected rain shower, then the HUAWEI nova Y73 is the ultimate smartphone option for you.

Available for PHP 9,999 with a freebie HUAWEI Band (worth PHP 2,399) this July, the HUAWEI nova Y73 is a sleek, stylish device engineered to handle the unpredictability of daily life. Whether you’re dodging the rain or battling clumsiness, this smartphone is designed to handle it all and still stand strong.

Feel at Ease with a Rain-Ready, Life-Proof Smartphone

In a country where the weather can shift from sunny skies to tropical downpour in a heartbeat, your tech needs to be as adaptable as you are. The HUAWEI nova Y73 brings you peace of mind this rainy season with a design that’s built tough from the inside out.

The phone is designed with a 1.8m drop resistance and up to 65kg pressure resistance. Plus, its reinforced aluminum alloy frame and smartly optimized structure gives the HUAWEI nova Y73 360° protection and 5-star, SGS-certified drop resistance. This protects all sides of the phone from life’s inevitable slips and bumps. From smooth marble floors to gritty cement streets[1], the HUAWEI nova Y73 can take on different surfaces with ease with its body and critical components perfectly shielded from impact.

The phone’s upgraded front panel offers twice the scratch and wear resistance, so the screen stays clearer for longer, even if you keep it in the same pocket as your keys or loose coins. Perfect for the rainy season, the HUAWEI nova Y73 has an IP64-rated water and dust resistance[2]. This means it can easily handle accidental splashes or rainy commutes.


Stay in Control of Your Phone Even in the Rain

Got your fingers wet while grappling for your phone in the rain? You can still navigate the HUAWEI nova Y73 easily thanks to the phone’s Splash Touch[3] technology. This keeps touch controls precise even with wet fingers. Moreover, the phone’s 6.67” Eye Comfort Display[4] is engineered to be easy on your eyes while staying clear in bright sunlight or gloomy rain clouds.

If you get caught in a sudden downpour, using your phone proves to be a challenge. With the HUAWEI X-Button, you don’t need to go through so many buttons to access your most-needed apps urgently. It offers a one-click gateway to make phone use smarter, faster, and more intuitive.

A single press of the button brings up the customizable Quick Access menu for instant reach to your favorite apps. You can even skip the menu altogether by double pressing or long pressing the button. This lets you jump straight into your most essential features like Maps, Camera, or Notes, without missing a beat.

Fuel Your Day with Battery Power That Outlasts the Storm

With everything so unpredictable, even the weather, the last thing you need is battery anxiety. Whether you’re facing uncertain weather situations or powering through a packed schedule, the HUAWEI nova Y73 is built to go the distance with its massive 6620mAh Super Battery. Now, you don’t have to constantly search for a charger or a power bank.

Made to last through busy schedules, rainy delays, and spontaneous adventures, the HUAWEI nova Y73 lasts up to two days on a single charge[5]. Even in extreme temperatures as low as -20°C[6], the phone’s battery holds strong. When you do need a boost, the 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge Turbo steps in to give you up to 5 hours of video playback[7] in just 10 minutes of charging.

Safety is a standard with the HUAWEI nova Y73. The phone boasts AI-powered battery-saving technologies and global battery safety certifications. This ensures that the HUAWEI nova Y73 doesn’t just last, it protects. It’s a smart, efficient, and worry-free device that can handle whatever the day brings, rain or shine.

Belle Group Champions Volunteerism at Brigada Eskwela 2025

The Belle Group recently reaffirmed its commitment to volunteerism and community service by actively participating in the Brigada Eskwela 2025, the Department of Education’s annual initiative to prepare public schools for the new academic year.

Volunteers from the Belle Group, led by Belle Corporation President and CEO Armin Raquel Santos (front row, seventh from left), beam with pride after completing school refurbishment work during Brigada Eskwela 2025 at Dau Elementary School in Mabalacat City, Pampanga.

Undeterred by heavy rains, employee volunteers from Belle Corporation (Belle), Premium Leisure Corp., PremiumLeisure & Amusement, Inc., and Pacific Online Systems Corporation rolled up their sleeves for a two-day volunteer effort in Mabalacat City, Pampanga.

On June 10, Belle President and CEO Armin Raquel Santos personally led volunteers at Dau Elementary School, where the team cleaned, repainted hallways, and improved facilities to create a more inspiring and welcoming environment for students.

"Supporting education is one of the most meaningful ways we can serve our communities. It’s a responsibility we embrace with heart," said Mr. Raquel Santos, who also joined in painting the school’s walls.

School Principal Jayson Ryan De Leon thanked the Belle Group for its hands-on support and advocacy for accessible, quality education—values championed through its Belle Kaagapay social responsibility program.

On June 11, a second team of volunteers brought the same spirit of bayanihan to Duquit Elementary School, where they donated materials, painted classrooms, and helped pave parts of the school grounds identified by School Head Lily Ann Lacanlale as a critical improvement area.

Mr. Raquel Santos leads by example and paints a wall during day one of Brigada Eskwela activities at Dau Elementary School.

The Belle Group continues its commitment to be a compassionate and responsible corporate citizen, one that believes in empowering future generations through shared action, meaningful partnerships, and a strong advocacy towards inclusive development.


Schneider Electric named the World’s Most Sustainable Company by TIME Magazine and Statista

PARIS – – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has been named the “World’s Most Sustainable Company 2025” by TIME Magazine and Statista. This is Schneider Electric’s second consecutive year atop the list, which ranks 500 of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies.

This recognition reflects Schneider Electric’s consistent progress toward its own sustainability goals, as well as its commitment to helping its customers become more energy efficient and reduce their emissions. The company continues to show transparent progress against its ambitious sustainability goals, which include a 25% absolute carbon reduction across its entire value chain by 2030 and Net- Zero CO2 emissions across the entire value chain by 2050. The company’s SBTi-validated Schneider Sustainability Impact 2021-2025 (SSI) program acts as its roadmap, enabling sustainable progress, not just for Schneider Electric and its partners, but also for its customers and local communities.


“We’re incredibly honored to be recognized as the world’s most sustainable company for the second year in a row,” said Olivier Blum, CEO of Schneider Electric. “As a technology company, our goal is to be the trusted partner of our customer to deliver efficiency and sustainability. At Schneider, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to be an Impact Company—where performance is the foundation. Our purpose drives us to engage our entire ecosystem, our mission positions us as part of the solution, and our culture sets us apart. This holistic approach ensures that every aspect of our operations and value chain contributes to a more sustainable world.”

The ranking evaluates a pool of 5,700 companies across 20 key performance indicators, ultimately naming 500 of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies. It assesses factors such as Scope 1 and 2 emissions and energy consumption relative to company size, emissions reductions, and the proportion of renewable energy used in operations. It also considers external factors, including sustainability ratings and commitments, corporate reporting practices, and environmental and social performance indicators.

Schneider Electric has also been named the World’s Most Sustainable Corporation 2025 by Corporate Knights and is the only company to rank first in its Global 100 twice. The French company has also been named Most Sustainable Corporation in Europe and in France by Corporate Knights.
