PlayTime Entertainment continues its commitment to supporting the movie industry. Philippine Movie Press Club and PlayTime Entertainment officially signed a partnership agreement on October 1, 2026, naming PlayTime Entertainment as the ‘Official Entertainment Partner’ for the upcoming awards.

The signing ceremony was held at the PlayTime Entertainment Office, with PlayTime Entertainment President Crisanto Roy Alcid and PMPC President Fernan De Guzman standing in as witnesses, along with PlayTime Entertainment Spokesperson Adela Mae Marshall and PMPC Executive Producer Manuel Tan (Jojo Mendrez) – putting pen to paper for the 42nd PMPC Star Awards for Movies. The PlayTime Entertainment group has supported the PMPC across its various formats (Movies, Television and Music) for three years now.

A strategic move for fan engagement

The partnership marks a significant milestone for both organizations as they aim to deepen fan engagement and bring a more interactive approach to one of the country’s most prestigious film award ceremonies.

‘This partnership is a proud moment for PlayTime Entertainment. We’re honored to support the PMPC Star Awards for Movies and help celebrate the incredible talent and storytelling that defines Philippine cinema. Our goal is to amplify the voices of fans who are the lifeblood of showbiz,’ said Alcid.

For De Guzman, the collaboration is a natural evolution for the awards.

‘We’re thrilled to partner with PlayTime Entertainment again for this year’s Star Awards for Movies, they have supported us for three consecutive years now, and we are very grateful. Their commitment in entertainment and direct connection with fans aligns perfectly with our goal of making the awards more accessible and engaging for the modern audience,’ De Guzman said.

PlayTime Fans’ Favorite Award

As Official Entertainment Partner, PlayTime Entertainment will present the PlayTime Fans’ Favorite Award at the awards night on October 25, 2026, at Winford Manila.

The PlayTime Fans’ Favorite voting campaign will run on the PlayTime website, www.playtime.ph, from October 12 to October 21, with October 21 to 25 allocated for vote counting and verification, giving fans a direct say in recognizing their favorite film of the year.

The P6.60 final pricing of the initial public offering (IPO) of Mynt Inc. could bring ownership of one of the Philippines’ largest digital platforms within reach of a broader base of Filipino investors, according to Rep. JP Padiernos.

The GCash IPO presents an opportunity to discuss how more Filipinos can participate in our retail capital markets. But expanding access must go hand in hand with financial literacy, transparent disclosures, and adequate investor protection. Filipinos should be equipped to understand both the opportunities and the risks before investing,’ said Padiernos, a member of the House panel on banks and financial intermediaries.

At P6.60 per share, an investor buying 100 shares would just need P660 before applicable fees and charges, providing a lower entry point than the P10 maximum offer price previously set for the offering.

The offering could also make stock-market participation more accessible to first-time investors, particularly as GCash shares are expected to be made available through GStocks in the GCash app, while qualified Local Small Investors can subscribe through the Philippine Stock Exchange’s PSE EASy platform.

‘The significance of this IPO goes beyond the amount of capital being raised. If more Filipinos who are already part of the digital economy can also become investors in it, we are widening participation in our capital market and strengthening the culture of investment among our people,’ Padiernos stressed.

The development comes as digital financial services become increasingly integrated into the daily lives of Filipinos, with GCash offering payments, savings, credit, investment and other financial services through its platform.

The IPO could reportedly provide another avenue for Filipinos to participate in the capital market, particularly first-time investors who may previously have viewed stock ownership as something accessible mainly to more experienced or financially sophisticated investors.

‘We should welcome efforts that bring legitimate investment opportunities closer to ordinary Filipinos, while also reminding the public that investing requires informed decisions. Accessibility must go hand in hand with investor education and protection,’ he added.

The transaction could also strengthen the connection between the country’s rapidly expanding digital economy and its capital markets by allowing a broader pool of Filipino investors to participate in the ownership of a major homegrown technology and financial-services company.

For the Nueva Ecija lawnaker, the broader significance of the offering is therefore not simply the listing of another large company on the Philippine Stock Exchange, but the possibility of bringing ownership of a key part of the Philippine digital economy closer to ordinary Filipino investors.

‘The real measure of financial inclusion is not only whether Filipinos can use digital financial services, but whether they can also participate meaningfully in the opportunities created by the digital economy. This IPO can open that conversation to millions more Filipinos,’ he said.

THE South China Sea dispute spilled onto the floor of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York as the Philippines and China traded diplomatic blows over the legality of the 2016 arbitral ruling, with Manila defending the award as legally binding and Beijing dismissing it as ‘illegal, null and void.’

The exchange stemmed from the address of Foreign Affairs Secretary Ma. Theresa Lazaro, who used her speech before the General Debate to affirm Manila’s commitment to international law and the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (Unclos).

She noted that 2026 marks a decade since the issuance of the South China Sea arbitral award and described it as a ‘final and legally binding award’ that demonstrates how international law can peacefully resolve disputes between states.

‘The Philippines stands firm in its conviction that disputes must be resolved through diplomacy and law, not violence and might,’ Lazaro said. She also stressed that ‘open and secure seas, free from interference and coercion, are vital to our security, our economy, and our people.’

China responded through Deputy Permanent Representative Sun Lei, who exercised Beijing’s right of reply, to reject the Philippine position and challenge the arbitral ruling.

‘The United Nations is not the appropriate forum to discuss the South China Sea issue,’ Sun said, accusing Manila of raising the matter in a multilateral setting despite China’s preference for bilateral negotiations.

Sun reiterated China’s longstanding position that the arbitration case filed by the Philippines violated fundamental principles of international law and that the tribunal exceeded its authority.

‘The award it rendered is illegal, null and void,’ he said. ‘China neither accepts nor recognizes the award, and opposes and will never accept any claim or action arising from it.’

The Chinese envoy also criticized Manila’s efforts to highlight the ruling’s upcoming 10th anniversary.

‘The Philippine attempt to play up the 10th anniversary of the so-called award is utterly meaningless,’ Sun said, arguing that the decision had failed to resolve maritime disputes and instead contributed to tensions in the South China Sea.

The Philippines answered back through Paolo Marco Mapula, UNGA Plenary Expert at the Philippine Permanent Mission to the United Nations, who delivered Manila’s right of reply and defended the arbitral award against China’s criticism.

Mapula said China was once again attempting to ‘rewrite history’ and ignore a ruling issued under the dispute settlement mechanisms of Unclos. He maintained that the arbitral tribunal was lawfully constituted and that its award remains final and binding on both parties.

The Philippine delegate argued that the ruling clarified maritime entitlements in the South China Sea and represented a victory not only for the Philippines but for the international rules-based order.

China responded with another intervention, reiterating its position that territorial and maritime disputes should be settled through direct negotiations between the countries concerned rather than through arbitration or multilateral forums.

The exchange highlighted the enduring divide between Manila and Beijing nearly a decade after the Hague-based tribunal invalidated the legal basis of China’s sweeping claims in the South China Sea. While the Philippines continues to treat the award as a cornerstone of its maritime policy, China maintains that the ruling is invalid and has no binding effect.

CEBU CITY-The Regional Development Council (RDC) 7 is seeking a declaration of a State of Power Emergency in Central Visayas as recurring rotational brownouts and Red and Yellow Alert conditions continue to affect the Visayas Grid.

The request was approved during the RDC 7’s Third-Quarter full council meeting at Carcar City Hall on September 30, chaired by Cebu Gov. Pamela Baricuatro.

The council is asking the Office of the President, upon the recommendation of the Department of Energy (DOE), to declare the power emergency in response to the region’s supply deficiency.

The proposed declaration is intended to accelerate measures to address the immediate power shortfall, while facilitating the development and expansion of generation facilities.

It is also expected to help speed up priority transmission and substation projects of the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) in the Visayas.

The Cebu provincial government is also pursuing local measures to augment energy supply.

Among these is the proposed installation of solar panels in barangay centers, which has been included among the services that barangay governments may access.

Baricuatro said addressing basic needs remains central to the region’s development agenda, particularly in Cebu and Bohol.

‘We need to build and strengthen our beloved SugBohol from the ground up. Hence, in the Province of Cebu, we are expanding bulk water service operations, building people’s markets, and advancing province-wide healthcare integration, with other Cebu LGUs already on board,’ Baricuatro said in her speech.

Beyond the power situation, the RDC 7 endorsed and advanced several infrastructure initiatives covering flood management, roads, ports and public transport.

Feasibility studies for dams along eight major rivers, as well as the updating of the Metro Cebu Flood Control Master Plan, have been incorporated into the 2027 National Expenditure Program.

The council also included the proposed Consolacion-Liloan Bypass Road in the Central Visayas Regional Development Investment Program and endorsed it to the Economy and Development Council-Investment Coordination Committee.

In Bohol, the RDC endorsed the proposed Manga Fish Port in Tagbilaran City for implementation by the Philippine Fisheries Development Authority.

Meanwhile, Carcar City Mayor Patrick Barcenas presented the proposed P5-billion Carcar City Port Development Project, seeking financial assistance for the undertaking.

The RDC 7 Infrastructure Development Committee Secretariat said it would assist in facilitating potential funding and other support, subject to the submission of required documents by the city government.

The council also called on the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to provide a definite timeline for identifying alternative financing to complete the Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT) Project after the partial cancellation of its World Bank loan.

The DOTr will likewise be asked to clarify arrangements for the maintenance and security of facilities constructed under Package 1 of the CBRT.

Finance super app GCash has introduced GStocks PH ‘Part-Owner Era’ Hubs to simplify the stock market and expand financial education for Filipinos. By bringing hands-on learning about the capital markets directly to Filipinos, the initiative makes learning more approachable and relevant, especially among newcomers.

The educational spaces, located in Bonifacio High Street – B2 in Taguig, and One Ayala, 2nd Floor Concourse in Makati, feature materials about the basics of the stock market, managing risk, and building a diversified portfolio, including investor education resources by the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE).

Filipinos who wish to start their investment journey can register on GStocks PH, the trading platform offered by AB Capital Securities, Inc. found within GCash, or visit any of the Part-Owner Era Hubs to receive on-site assistance from September 28 to October 12.

Scaling Access to Responsible Investing

At present, GStocks PH serves over 2 million Filipinos, representing more than half of all online retail stock market accounts with the PSE. The rapid growth of digital PSE accounts, which saw a 30.5 percent year on year increase in 2025, makes financial education more critical.

The opening of the Part-Owner Era hubs reflects a broader GCash commitment to ensuring that as access expands, Filipinos are equipped to use investments responsibly to strengthen their financial stability. ‘We want to dispel misconceptions that accessing the stock market is only for the privileged few or should be costly or complicated,’ said Winsley Bangit, Group Head of New Businesses at Mynt, the parent company of GCash.

‘More than access alone, we believe Filipinos should be equipped with the tools and resources needed to make more informed and healthier financial decisions.’ Bangit added.

In addition to launching its Part-Owner Era hubs, the finance superapp has made a full suite of market education resources available on GCash. This includes research reports by GStocks PH broker AB Capital Securities Inc., digital educational materials found in ‘InvesTips’ on the GCash app homepage, and curated stock picks designed for beginners on GStocks PH, including entry-level stocks under ?1,000, dividend-paying stocks, and top PSE index companies.

To get started on GStocks PH, fully verified GCash users can open the GCash app, tap the GStocks PH icon, select AB Capital Securities, Inc., and complete account registration. GStocks PH offers access to over 280 listed companies, free and instant account top-ups and withdrawals, and stock investment options for as low as ?500.

By expanding access to resources that encourage responsible investing, GCash is helping build a deeper and more informed capital market, while helping Filipinos more confidently navigate tools to secure their long-term financial health.

Filipino local brand Easy Brand marked a special evening of art, culture, and customer appreciation on September 30 through a creative collaboration honoring the legacy of acclaimed Filipina artist Nena Saguil (1914-1994).

A defining part of the collaboration is Easy Brand’s authorized use of Nena Saguil’s distinctive watermark trademark, with permission granted by Benjamin Saguil, representing the Nena Saguil legacy. The watermark serves as a recognizable symbol of Saguil’s artistic identity, allowing her legacy to be brought into a contemporary creative setting and introduced to a new generation.

The collaboration creates a meaningful connection between Saguil’s artistic journey from Manila to Paris and her continuing influence in the Philippines, and Easy Brand’s commitment to celebrating Filipino creativity.

The evening also served as a Customer Appreciation Night, recognizing the customers and partners who have been part of Easy Brand’s journey and growth.

Present at the celebration were Mark Wang, President and Founder of Easy Brand, and Peter Limquiaco, Chairman and CEO of Easy Brand, who joined guests in celebrating Filipino creativity, heritage, and contemporary design.

Through the collaboration, Easy Brand brings together art, heritage, and contemporary creativity, giving new expression to a legacy that continues to inspire across generations.

When an LPG tank exploded in a Valenzuela City apartment last August 27, injuring three family members and reducing their home to rubble, the news cycle moved on within hours. In a recent column, Dr. Jesus Lim Arranza asks a question that demands we pause: Are we doing enough to ensure every LPG cylinder entering the Philippine market has been properly tested? The uncomfortable answer appears to be no. The statistics are sobering. Between 2018 and 2021, the Bureau of Fire Protection recorded 286 LPG-related fire incidents nationwide. While the yearly numbers show a declining trend-from 104 fires in 2018 to 47 in 2021-each incident represents not just property damage, but families traumatized, lives permanently altered by burns, and communities shaken. Behind every cylinder is a mother cooking dinner, a father preparing breakfast, children waiting at the table. For them, safety standards are not abstract technical documents-they are matters of life and death.

We have established rigorous standards. The Department of Trade and Industry’s Bureau of Philippine Standards has mandated certification requirements for steel LPG cylinders. These regulations recognize that an LPG cylinder is not an ordinary consumer product-it is a pressure vessel containing highly flammable substance, where internal defects invisible to the naked eye can mean the difference between a safe kitchen and a devastating explosion.

This is where Radiographic Testing (RT) becomes critical. RT allows qualified technicians to examine the internal condition of welds, identifying cracks, porosity, lack of fusion, and incomplete penetration that visual inspection simply cannot detect. Yet here lies the systemic vulnerability: standards are only as effective as our capacity to implement them.

Establishing RT facilities requires substantial investment-specialized equipment, radiation protection, qualified professionals, regulatory compliance, and ongoing accreditation. For small and medium-sized Philippine testing companies, this represents a significant financial commitment. The primary concern is not the financial capability of these laboratories to fund safety infrastructure, but the national cost of failing to do so.

As the market increasingly relies on imported LPG cylinders, the pressure on our testing infrastructure intensifies. While imported products are subject to DTI-BPS certification requirements, a system is only as strong as its capacity to verify compliance. We cannot simply mandate sophisticated testing without ensuring sufficient laboratories, equipment, and qualified personnel exist to perform it.

Dr. Arranza correctly identifies testing laboratories not merely as service providers, but as critical components of national safety infrastructure. When a Philippine laboratory invests in RT capability, trains engineers, pursues accreditation, and serves manufacturers, it strengthens the chain that protects consumers. Government and industry must recognize this role and provide support through clear technical guidance, efficient accreditation processes, capacity building, and recognition of competent local laboratories.

The Valenzuela explosion should not be weaponized to assign blame prematurely. Rather, it should serve as a catalyst for urgent collaboration. We need research to determine exactly how many cylinders are imported versus locally produced, and whether valid testing was performed on each. We need government and industry working together-not against each other-to ensure every cylinder meets requirements before reaching the market.

When it comes to LPG safety, the cost of prevention must always be measured against the value of a life. The Philippines has the standards. What we need now is the technical capacity to enforce them. We cannot afford to wait for the next explosion to ask whether we have done enough. The time to strengthen our testing infrastructure is now-before another family pays the price for our collective inaction.

HEKINAN, Japan-Khy Progella and Sofiah Pagara rallied from a set down to beat China’s Cao Shuting and Dong Jie, 13-21, 23-21, 15-13, to bag the Philippines’s first Asian Games beach volleyball medal-a bronze-on Friday at the Hekinan Ryokuchi Beach Court.

‘This is overwhelming for us,’ Pagara said. ‘We worked so very hard for this medal.’

The duo from University of Santo Tomas turned heartbreak into history by rallying from a set down and match point in the second to foil the Chinese pair. They forced a deciding set as the match remained tight until the stretch.

Locked at 10-all, Progella and Pagara surged ahead, 14-12, putting themselves within a point of the bronze.

China saved one match point, but the Filipinas remained composed as Dong sent an over pass long, triggering a celebration from the Philippine side as Progella and Pagara secured their place in Asian Games history.

‘The pressure and the nerves were in the first set, but after that, we overcame our fears,’ Progella said.

The team-supported by the Philippine Olympic Committee and the Philippine Sports Commission-celebrated the country’s best finish in the event since beach volleyball was introduced at the 1994 Asian Games in Hiroshima.

XPENG, the global Physical AI company, has formally entered the Philippine market with a grand launch that unveiled its complete lineup of the X9 luxury MPV and L03 SUV coupé. Held at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, the event marked the company’s first Southeast Asian subsidiary and a significant step in its expansion across the region.

More than a vehicle showcase, the evening highlighted XPENG’s vision of mobility powered by artificial intelligence. With over 40 percent of its workforce dedicated to research and development in AI, robotics, software, and advanced mobility, XPENG continues to develop its technologies in-house-from driver assistance systems and intelligent operating platforms to powertrains and electronic architecture.

The Philippine debut introduced six variants across the two models, broadening customer choices with premium electric and range-extended options. One of the evening’s defining moments was the formal introduction of actress, television host, and recording artist Anne Curtis as XPENG Philippines’ official brand ambassador. Her sophisticated style and enduring appeal across generations reflect the company’s premium, modern, and technology-led identity. The launch also offered glimpses of XPENG’s innovations beyond automobiles, with special displays of the X2 Flying Car and IRON Humanoid Robot-symbols of the company’s broader ambitions in Physical AI.

X9: Flagship ultra-intelligent MPV

THE X9 arrives as the brand’s flagship seven-seater MPV, offered in two Long Range variants-the standard configuration priced at P3.858 million and the version with the Second-Row Premium Seat Package at P4.058 million. Both share the same front-wheel-drive electric system, producing 235 kW (315 hp) and 450 Nm of torque. Power comes from a 110-kWh battery, delivering up to 615 kilometers of driving range under WLTP standards. With a compatible DC fast charger, the X9 can replenish from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 12 minutes, underscoring its practicality for long-distance travel.

Inside, the X9 emphasizes comfort and versatility. The Premium Seat Package elevates second-row luxury with four-way powered headrest adjustment and a 16-point massage function, creating a more individualized seating experience. The standard Long Range variant, meanwhile, features Zero-Gravity seats separated by a central aisle, allowing convenient access between the second and third rows. The cabin is further enhanced by intelligent storage solutions, including multiple compartments across all three rows, fold-flat powered third-row seats, and a spacious cargo area that adapts to family and business needs.

The X9 also integrates an intelligent cabin system anchored by a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, a head-up display, and a digital instrument cluster. Voice interaction supports multilingual commands, whole-car conversations, and offline functionality, while Google-powered maps provide refreshed imagery and seamless routing integrated into XPENG’s in-house navigation. Passengers benefit from a premium audio system, ambient lighting, and climate control zones that adjust to individual preferences, reinforcing the X9’s role as a luxury MPV.

Driving dynamics are equally advanced. Despite its size, the X9 maneuvers with surprising agility thanks to class-leading active rear-wheel steering, reducing its turning radius to just 5.4 meters. Intelligent dual-chamber air suspension ensures a composed ride across varied road conditions, while traction and stability systems adapt to slippery surfaces and uneven terrain. The vehicle’s XPILOT suite brings together Assist Parking, Assist Driving, and Assist Safety features. Parking Assist supports unmarked spaces, reversing, and remote summon functions. Assist Driving handles complex urban scenarios, including narrow streets, faded lane markings, and dense traffic. Assist Safety adds 360-degree monitoring, blowout stability control, and agile steering responses, ensuring confidence behind the wheel.

Safety credentials are reinforced by a high-strength steel cage body, seven airbags, and enhanced battery protection against thermal and collision risks. The X9 also carries dual five-star certifications from C-NCAP and E-NCAP, underscoring its reliability. Exterior choices include Midnight Black, Arctic White, and Matte Gray, with Silver Frost available by special order. Interiors come in Meteorite Black, with Coffee available upon request.

L03: Electric SUV coupé with range-extended option

THE L03 is offered in three distinct variants-the EV Long Range, EV Standard Range, and the REEV-each designed to balance performance, efficiency, and flexibility. The EV Standard Range is powered by a 58.3 kWh battery and delivers up to 445 kilometers of range under WLTP standards. The EV Long Range variant uses a larger 71.1 kWh battery and extends the range to 520 kilometers. Meanwhile, the REEV combines a 37.2 kWh battery with a range-extending engine. It offers 215 kilometers of pure electric driving, while its combined WLTP range stretches to 1,017 kilometers, giving customers the reassurance of long-distance capability without sacrificing the everyday EV experience. All three variants drive the rear wheels through an electric motor and can charge from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 20 minutes under optimal conditions.

Inside, the L03 offers a five-seat cabin with 539 liters of luggage space, plus 37 storage solutions spread across the interior. These include a 102-liter front trunk, a 10-liter pull-out drawer beneath the second-row seats, pegboard hooks on the B-pillars, and threaded mounts on the seatbacks for added utility. The rear seats fold in a 40/20/40 split with a ski pass-through, creating a flat cargo floor when folded. A powered tailgate with a soft-close latch and anti-pinch sensors adds convenience, while fixed hooks provide versatility for outdoor use.

The cabin is equally defined by its intelligence. A 15.6-inch central touchscreen anchors the dashboard, supported by an 8.88-inch instrument cluster and a head-up display that projects essential driving information onto the windshield. XPENG’s intelligent cabin system enables multilingual voice interaction, whole-car conversations, multi-zone dialogue, and offline voice control, allowing drivers and passengers to interact naturally with the vehicle. Through its partnership with Google, the L03 integrates refreshed mapping imagery and routing into XPENG’s in-house navigation system for accurate, seamless guidance.

Safety and driver assistance are delivered through XPENG’s XPILOT suite. Assist Parking provides flexible parking support for unmarked spaces, reversing assist, remote summon, and remote parking.

Assist Driving is designed to handle narrow streets, unlit intersections, faded lane markings, dense traffic, and complex urban scenarios. Assist Safety adds 360-degree active safety monitoring, blowout stability control, agile steering with a 10.5-meter turning circle, and traction modes for snow and slippery surfaces. Together, these systems create a confident, secure driving experience.

The L03 lineup in the Philippines comes in four variants, each at a different price point. At the top is the EV RWD Long Range Ultra, priced at P2.058 million. The EV Long Range follows at P1.698 million, while the REEV variant is available at P1.598 million. Finally, the EV Standard Range serves as the most accessible option at P1.548 million.
