Solar Panel Project Helps Both Customers and Communities Nationwide

Amid the current energy state of emergency and as demand for electricity rises during the summer months, SM Supermalls reinforces its energy efficiency practices to serve its customers and surrounding communities undisrupted, on top of sustaining its operations.

SM Group operates the country’s largest rooftop solar panel network nationwide among property developers. Its investment in renewable energy started in 2014 with the very first installation of solar panels in SM North EDSA—long before government mandates on sustainability and the current pressures on alternative sources of power amid the energy crisis. With over 200,000 panels installed across 59 mall properties, covering 65 hectares, this expansive system powers SM’s most-loved malls through a hybrid energy strategy, helping them run more efficiently and sustainably.

Water Resilience at Scale: SM’s Conservation Efforts in a Changing Climate

No-touch but big impact. With the looming potential of a super El Niño in the coming months, helping preserve the precious resource of water becomes a greater priority for SM. Through widely implemented innovations under the SM Green Movement, SM helps conserve the equivalent of 1.5 liters of water per customer over 7 seconds of use per day.

SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime) has advanced resource stewardship through water circularity initiatives, implementing water conservation measures across its nationwide network of SM Supermalls since the late 1990s.

Embedded in its operations, SM Malls uses innovative water management systems that save water and reduce wastage - drawing less from the national water grid and creating value in an increasingly volatile time.

The OPPO Find X9 Ultra Changes the Way We Capture the World

The best shots aren't always within reach. From performers illuminated by stage lights to distant landmarks and sweeping landscapes, some of the most memorable moments happen far beyond the lens of an ordinary smartphone camera. Capturing them with true detail and clarity has long been one of mobile photography's biggest challenges.

The OPPO Find X9 Ultra is built to change that. Powered by OPPO's most advanced zoom system yet and a next-generation imaging platform co-developed with Hasselblad, the flagship combines precision telephoto optics with intelligent computational photography to deliver extraordinary reach without compromising image quality. The result is stunning detail, natural colors, and remarkable clarity even when your subject is far away.

Get Closer with Advanced Optical Zoom

The camera of the OPPO Find X9 Ultra is designed to give users more creative freedom across different focal lengths. Its 3x and 10x optical zoom capabilities allow users to move closer to the action without physically stepping forward, making it ideal for concerts, sports events, travel photography, wildlife, architecture, and everyday storytelling.

PLDT Home Fiber ‘Always On’ Keeps Filipino Households Connected Even During Unexpected Outages

Today's connected households rely on the internet to keep life moving -- whether it's a virtual meeting, an online class, a movie marathon, or a competitive gaming session. As digital activities become deeply woven into everyday routines, reliability has become more important than internet speeds.

Addressing this need, PLDT Home has introduced Fiber Always On, a breakthrough broadband innovation designed to keep households connected even during unexpected fiber outages.

PLDT Home is the first and only internet service provider in the Philippines to offer a hybrid modem that seamlessly combines fiber and LTE connectivity in a single device. The innovative solution automatically switches to its built-in LTE backup whenever fiber service becomes unavailable, helping minimize disruptions without requiring customers to manually activate a mobile hotspot, maintain a secondary connection, or subscribe to a separate backup service.

Globe Business champions cybersecurity for SMEs with integrated GFiber Broadband - Free Vulnerability Assessment solution

As more businesses embrace digital operations and AI-driven tools, cybersecurity is becoming just as important as connectivity itself. For many small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the challenge is finding a way to grow securely in an environment where they face silent, invisible digital threats.

This protection is vital because SMEs are the backbone of local communities, generating millions of jobs and driving national economic growth. Yet, as these businesses shift online, cyberattacks targeting them have surged by up to 325% because automated bots continuously scan the internet for unlocked digital doors, regardless of a company's name or size.

In the latest installment of The Blueprint by Globe, Globe Business highlights that GFiber Broadband plans now include Free Vulnerability Assessment Scan (VA) to help businesses build a more secure digital foundation. By combining high-speed connectivity with proactive cybersecurity directly into everyday internet connectivity, Globe Business is changing the paradigm. Cybersecurity should not be viewed as an expensive cost center, but should instead be embedded directly into an organization’s everyday business operations. This democratizes protection regardless of business size and digital maturity.
