Manila Water transfers additional facilities to the improved Retail Aggregation Program of ERC.

The Manila Water enterprise continues to lead the way in sustainable energy adoption as it transitions fifty-six (56) additional facilitites to the Energy Regulatory Commission’s Retail Aggregation Program (RAP)

As it moves fifty-six (56) more facilities to the Energy Regulatory Commission’s Retail Aggregation Program (RAP), Manila Water continues to set the standard for the use of sustainable energy.

The 56 facilities include 45 Estate Water facilities in Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, and Metro Manila, 10 additional facilities from Manila Water Non-East Zone operating unit Laguna Water, and the Manila Water Foundation’s La Mesa Ecopark, which is the first and largest ecopark to run solely on renewable energy under RAP, demonstrating the dedication to sustainable operations and creative energy solutions. A total of 1,682 kW of demand is represented by the changeover.

This milestone was marked with another RAP switching ceremony held at the La Mesa Ecopark in Quezon City, which is the 4th switching for Manila Water this year.

“Manila Water’s participation in RAP demonstrates its commitment to innovation and consumer empowerment. By aggregating demand and leveraging competitive supply options, Manila Water is helping pave the way for a more inclusive and resilient energy sector. At the ERC, our mandate is clear: to promote consumer welfare while ensuring a fair and competitive energy market, and RAP is a key component of this vision.” said ERC Director for Market Operations Service Sharon Montaner.

“Since Manila Water’s first switching in February 2025, RAP participation has grown by 70%, a rate faster than RCOA, reflecting greater inclusivity and freedom of choice”, Director Montaner further noted.

Then 56 facilities consist of 10 additional facilities from Manila Water Non-East Zone operating unit Laguna Water, 45 facilities of Estate Water covering Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna and Metro Manila and Manila Water Foundation’s La Mesa Ecopark.

The event was also graced by ERC Chair Francis Saturnino Juan, MWSS Corporate Office Department Manager for Policy, Planning, and Public Relations Christian Nicole Baluca, MWSS-RO Legal Affairs Department Manager Crescenciano Minas Jr., PrimElectric Holdings Chief Operating Officer Richard Nethercott, IEMOP Vice President for Administration Sheryll Dy, MERALCO AVP and Head of Enterprise Commercial and Conglomerates Bernice Rama, and representatives from the Climate Change and Sustainability Department of the Quezon City Local Government.

With these developments, Manila Water now sources electricity for a total of 214 facilities, representing an aggregated demand of 11 MW. Under the enhanced RAP framework, these facilities are supplied by PrimeRES Energy through Meralco’s distribution network.

“This is all about the power of choice. We have 214 facilities switched now to RAP… and that’s very powerful because at the end of the day, we are held as a utility accountable to the costs that we charge our customers. We’ve tried to rethink our approach towards tariff and our customer base and really be as sufficient as possible,” says Jocot De Dios, Manila Water President and CEO.

Earlier this year, Manila Water pioneered the country’s first transition to the enhanced Retail Aggregation Program, consolidating ten (10) of its wastewater facilities under a single electricity sourcing. This marked a significant step in leveraging the RAP framework to streamline energy procurement and reduce costs.

Building on this momentum, the Company expanded its aggregation efforts through its operating units. In April, Laguna Aquatech facilitated the switch of 25 facilities, representing a combined demand of 900 kW. Additionally, Laguna Water transitioned 67 more facilities, contributing a substantial 4.3 MW to the total aggregated demand.

In May, Boracay Water made history as the first utility in the Visayas region to adopt RAP. Its switch included 11 facilities, ranging from water treatment plants and pumping stations to wastewater treatment facilities and lift stations, further highlighting the adaptability of RAP across diverse operational setups.

Under the enhanced Retail Aggregation Program (RAP) framework, consumers like Manila Water are now able to group the electricity requirements of its facilities located within the same distribution utility franchise areas. This approach strengthens the principle of consumer choice and opens the door to more cost-effective energy options available in the retail electricity market, which is one of the core mandates of the EPIRA.

GoRoam packs from Globe are now accessible throughout Europe and are reasonably priced

GoRoam Best-Ever

With the extended, best-ever GoRoam deals, Globe is revolutionizing the travel experience for Filipinos overseas. Customers may choose from a range of reasonably priced data packs and take advantage of seamless connectivity at unparalleled rates, better than prior offers, and even select eSIMs.

In a few locations in Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe, Globe is now offering a number of GoRoam bundle alternatives. Globe makes it simpler for visitors to select a plan that fits their vacation and budget, from affordable 7-day packs starting at P300 for 7 days to 30-day data packs delivering more gigabytes (GBs).

Additionally, GoRoam enters Europe for the first time, expanding its global reach and solidifying its position as the preferred travel partner for Filipinos worldwide.

“Roaming is no longer expensive. With Globe GoRoam, our customers enjoy the most affordable rates, even cheaper than popular international eSIMs. From weekend getaways to month-long Euro trips, there’s now a GoRoam pack for you,” said Paula Rivera-Castillo, Head of Globe International Business.

Most Competitive, Best-Ever Roaming Rates

Globe first disrupted the roaming market in 2023 by launching GoRoam, offering rates close to local SIM prices in key destinations. With this expansion, GoRoam raises the bar by introducing multiple denominations per country, ensuring that no traveler feels limited by one-size-fits-all roaming offers.

Budget-conscious customers can now access affordable entry-level packs while long-staying roamers and heavy data users can choose higher-value options without breaking the bank. In destinations such as South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia and Japan, GoRoam offers are now even cheaper than eSIMs and travel platforms. In Japan, GoRoam provides greater data allocations than eSIM options.

Travel Convenient, Flexible, and Worry-Free

Through its expanded GoRoam lineup, Globe cements its position as the most affordable, flexible, and worry-free travel connectivity partner for Filipinos. Travelers no longer need to compromise between convenience and affordability, they can now roam with Globe at sulit rates that rival, and even beat, eSIMs and local SIMs.

Unlike eSIMs that work only on select devices and require lengthy setup processes, GoRoam works for all phones, skips the tedious configuration steps, and keeps users connected in minutes. It also allows customers to continue receiving important OTPs, ensuring uninterrupted access to their accounts and services while abroad.

Activation is effortless so travelers can easily prebook or activate their GoRoam pack via the GlobeOne app or GCash, making it the most seamless roaming experience Globe has ever offered.

“Globe is here to change the way Filipinos think about roaming,” Rivera-Castillo added. “With GoRoam’s multiple pack options and expanded destinations, we’re making global travel simpler and more affordable than ever before.”

Beyond “Hiyang”: Filipino Beauty Should Combine Science and “Feeling” – Dermorepubliq

The official Dermorepubliq booth as the official sponsor of the first-ever TikTok Beauty Fest Philippines 2025 held at Bonifacio Global City

Dermorepubliq guided makers, professionals, and enthusiasts in deeper discussions about skincare that went beyond product trends and viral routines at the inaugural TikTok Beauty Fest Philippines, which took place at Bonifacio Global City. By examining how science, self-expression, and social media interact to shape contemporary beauty practices, the event represented a turning point in TikTok’s development from a digital content platform to a physical center for beauty instruction and community involvement.

Sensitive skin and the science underlying its prevalence were the topics of one of the more talked-about workshops.

“For years, ‘hiyang’ has been the measure of whether a product works. But skin compatibility isn’t just luck, it’s also chemistry,” shared Maria Gabrielle Lim, Marketing Director of Dermorepubliq, during a fireside chat.

Lim further explained that after years in the beauty industry, she has noticed how hiyang remains the most common consumer feedback among Filipinos, often tied to how “matapang” or harsh a product feels on the skin. “Sometimes we think we know enough about skincare because we do our own research online, but there is always more to uncover when you think about the scientific side,” she said.

From L–R) Maria Gabrielle Lim, Marketing Director of Dermorepubliq; Aika Vargas, Research and Development Lead of Dermorepubliq; and Dr. Jaja Lao-Ang discuss skincare beyond product trends and viral routines during the TikTok Beauty Fest Philippines 2025

Dr. Jaja Lao-Ang, a board-certified dermatologist, built on Gabbie’s observation, noting that the hiyang phenomenon is not just a matter of personal preference but rooted in biology. “There are real physiological reasons behind why some Filipinos react more strongly to certain formulations,” she explained. “Our skin has higher melanin content, which comes with both advantages and challenges. It gives us a bit more protection against UV damage, but it also makes us more prone to hyperpigmentation, irritation, and inflammation. Because of these factors, even if we have more pigment, we still need consistent sun protection. Sunscreen is essential whether you are outdoors or spending most of your time indoors.”

This shift, from anecdotal belief to scientific understanding, reflects a broader change in how Filipino consumers approach skincare. A 2025 report by Galderma, found that the Philippines leads Southeast Asia in the prevalence of sensitive skin. Dermatologists attribute this to the country’s tropical climate, pollution, and higher melanin content, which make Filipino skin more reactive to sun exposure, humidity, and stronger formulations.

The rise of mindful minimalism

Dr. Lao-Ang also addressed what she called the “pressure to over-skincare.”

“The biggest misconception I see is that more products mean better skin. Our skin barrier is delicate. The smarter approach is using fewer, targeted products that your skin can actually tolerate,” she said.

This “less is more” philosophy aligns with a growing global trend toward skin minimalism, simplified routines that prioritize barrier health over aggressive treatment layers.

From consumer feedback to lab reformulation

At the same session, Aika Vargas, Dermorepubliq’s Research and Development Lead, described how local research and community feedback guide the brand’s product development process.

“Formulating skincare is not just about mixing actives, it is about listening,” she said. “When users tell us a product feels too strong or sticky, that feedback goes straight to the lab. Each reformulation is shaped by both data and lived experience.”

It is a model increasingly seen across the local beauty scene, where social media feedback loops, dermatological insights, and in-house R&D (research and development) converge to build formulations attuned to Filipino skin realities rather than imported beauty standards.

A platform for smarter beauty

Dermorepubliq at the first-ever TikTok Beauty Fest Philippines 2025 held at Bonifacio Global City

Dermorepubliq’s active presence as the official sponsor at the TikTok Beauty Fest underscored a larger message: the growing importance of skin literacy in an industry still shaped by social media trends. As TikTok Shop Philippines’ top skincare brand, Dermorepubliq used the platform not only to engage consumers but also to encourage more informed, science-based conversations around skincare.

“Our mission has always been to help Filipinos understand what goes into their skincare and why it works for them,” said Keith Sta. Barbara, Founder and President of Dermorepubliq. “Our sensitive skin-first philosophy is shaped by the needs of Filipino skin, and peace of mind matters just as much as visible results. We want to build a community that values education as much as efficacy.”

Experts and guests alike found resonance in the conversation, pointing out that the Filipino beauty community is gradually evolving, focusing on what is proven rather than what is popular.

You can find Dermorepubliq’s kiosks stores at the following locations:

SM Fairview: Lower Ground Level, Parkway

Riverbanks Center: KF-08, Palm Lane
SM City Masinag: Lower Ground Floor, SM City Masinag, Antipolo, Rizal

Experts in Eastern Communications and Cybersecurity Spread Knowledge About Growing Cyberthreats in the Philippines

Snapshot from Eastern Communications’ latest Thoughts on Tech vodcast episode with host Justin Quirino and guest speaker Maez De Guzman, Cybersecurity Leader at EY Global Delivery Services (EY GDS) Philippines

Snapshot from Eastern Communications’ latest Thoughts on Tech vodcast episode with host Justin Quirino and guest speaker Colonel Francel Padilla, Spokesperson of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)

Cybercriminals are discovering new ways to take advantage of artificial intelligence as it gets more integrated into corporate operations. Eastern Communications is pushing Philippine businesses to take a more proactive approach against AI-driven cyberthreats in honor of Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This issue has gotten more pressing as attacks get smarter, faster, and more difficult to identify.

In order to assist businesses in navigating this changing landscape of digital threats, the telco provider’s Thoughts on Tech vodcast series recently released special Cybersecurity Month episodes. Colonel Francel Padilla, a spokesman for the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), and Maez De Guzman, a cybersecurity leader at EY Global Delivery Services (EY GDS) Philippines, are featured in the episodes. Their segments explained how businesses may safeguard the country’s digital infrastructure and increase cyber resilience.

A call to strengthen the country’s cyber defense

Maez De Guzman, Cybersecurity Leader at EY Global Delivery Services (EY GDS) Philippines

De Guzman stressed that businesses, especially small and medium enterprises, must keep pace with the speed of technological change. “We’re being attacked [at] machine speed, but we’re actually defending [at] human speed,” she said, noting that adapting a stronger cybersecurity mindset begins with adopting the right frameworks, such as Zero Trust. “So, the framework actually means zero trust from its name meaning trust no one, verify everything. All the technologies now actually support zero trust — from micro segmentation, from all identity-related proxies — everyone should align to the framework of zero trust.”

Colonel Francel Padilla, Spokesperson of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)

In another episode, Col. Padilla emphasized that cybersecurity is no longer confined to individual organizations but is now a matter of national defense. “Cyber has no barriers, so you cannot really say, ‘You’re intruding [into] the Philippine cyberspace.’ “There’s no such thing,” she said. She added that digital protection must extend beyond institutions to strengthen national resilience, noting, “If we have a secured country, we have a secured economy then.”

Supporting advocacy with action

Eastern Communications is backing its advocacy with practical solutions for local enterprises. In partnership with Nexusguard, a global leader in DDoS mitigation and cybersecurity, Eastern now offers DDoS-Protected Eastern IDS (Internet Direct Service), empowering businesses with seamless dedicated business internet backed by 24/7 reliable security.

According to Nexusguard’s 2025 DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Trends Report, the average size of DDoS attacks surged by 69% year-over-year, with peak attacks reaching as high as 962.2 Gbps, creating unprecedented strain on networks worldwide. The report highlights end-to-end hybrid protection solutions, combining cloud scalability and on-premise responsiveness as the most effective defense against today’s diverse DDoS threats.

For companies seeking enhanced protection, Eastern’s DDoS security solutions are also available as standalone services, ensuring continuous, efficient, and worry-free operations in today’s digital landscape.

“Eastern Communications remains steadfast in advocating for a safer, more secure digital Philippines,” said Edsel Paglinawan, Eastern Communications’ Chief Revenue and Experience Officer. “Through our Cyber Defense solutions and platforms like Thoughts on Tech, we aim to empower enterprises to build digital resilience and strengthen the Philippines’ cybersecurity ecosystem. This is part of how we continue exceeding expectations and serving with malasakit.”

Eastern Communications is reiterating its position as a reliable technology partner dedicated to safeguarding the country’s digital future and assisting Filipino businesses in being connected, competitive, and secure in an increasingly AI-driven world as cyber threats continue to change.
