Take a Different Turn: Nexal lands in the Philippines this May 15

A new international urban outdoor tech brand for Filipinos who want more from everyday life

There’s a certain rhythm to life in the Philippines that Filipinos know all too well. Early mornings spent in traffic, long workdays or classes, errands squeezed in between, and routines that repeat before the week even ends. Somewhere in that cycle, it becomes easy to move on autopilot and miss the small possibilities that just sit outside the usual path. But for a new generation of Filipinos, that rhythm is starting to shift. 

Young individuals are finding ways to break from routine, not by escaping the city, but by experiencing it differently. Weekend hikes outside the metro, city cycling routes, early morning or late afternoon runs, spontaneous road trips, and quiet café discoveries have become more than pastimes. Today, they are intentional choices shaped by a desire for meaning in everyday life.

TP in the Philippines rallies behind “A Run for Kids with Cancer” in Davao

TP in the Philippines proudly supported “A Run for Kids with Cancer,” a fun run organized by the House of Hope Foundation for Kids with Cancer, Inc., with around 30 employees from its Davao sites joining the 5-kilometer run held at the Lyceum of the Philippines University in Davao. The initiative reflects TP’s continued commitment to uplifting communities and championing meaningful causes.

Supporting initiatives like ‘A Run for Kids with Cancer’ allows us to come together for a greater purpose—bringing hope, strength, and tangible support to children and families who need it most.”  

Earlier this year, TP, through its corporate social responsibility arm, the Citizen of the World (COTW) Foundation, also extended support to House of Hope during activities linked to the launch of its Davao Uprise site. These efforts form part of TP’s broader commitment to delivering sustained community impact in the areas where it operates.

Xiaomi’s Latest Power Bank Lineup Takes the Guesswork Out of Staying Charged

From laptop-ready power to slim magnetic charging, the new series offers a safety net in case of emergencies

Everyone knows what a 10 percent battery feels like mid-afternoon, while you’re in transit or maybe during a power outage. The meeting still has thirty minutes left. The map is mid-route. The shoot is not done. The question at that point is not whether to find power, but whether the right power bank was already in the bag.

Xiaomi’s Power Bank Series 2026 is built around a cleaner premise: four models, each matched to a different kind of mobile routine. Not one power bank that tries to serve everyone, but four specific answers to four specific situations. Which one fits depends entirely on how the day actually runs.

Satellite data show barangays affected by ashfall from Mayon

The Philippine Space Agency (PhilSA) produced a map showing areas covered by ash deposits (bounded in red) from the reported pyroclastic density current along the Mi-isi gully of Mayon Volcano on 02 May 2026. The ash deposits (shaded in red) were classified using change detection on a Sentinel-2 satellite image from 03 May 2026 (shown top) compared with a reference image from before the event (28 April 2026). The bottom map overlays the estimated ash deposit extent to show potentially affected barangays. Based on the analysis, at least 8,544 hectares (~85.44 sqkm) were covered by ashfall. For comparison, this area is around half the size of Quezon City.
