The Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) has strengthened its drive against digital financial crimes with the launch of its Cybersecurity and Fintech Handbook and the renewal of its partnership with GCash. The event also introduced the Scam Assistance Hub, a project aimed at facilitating the quick and easy filing of scam reports through a simple QR Code. These major initiatives are targeted to complement law enforcement efforts in addressing emerging cyber fraud and scams for more timely and coordinated action.
The PNP-ACG and GCash renewed their Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), first signed in 2022, which established a framework for cooperation on cybersecurity awareness, capability-building, and information sharing.
This reaffirms the shared commitment of both institutions to handle financial cybercrimes and to strengthen consumer protection amid the continued growth of digital payments.
“Financial technology continues to evolve, and with it, the methods used by cybercriminals,” said Miguel Geronilla, Chief Information and Security Officer at GCash. “We at GCash are honored to support the PNP-ACG in enhancing the capabilities of law enforcers through education. By sharing fintech-specific use cases, we aim to help build a more informed response force against digital financial threats.”
Supporting cyber defense frontliners across the country
The Cybersecurity and Fintech Handbook was created in partnership with GCash to complement the efforts of the Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit (RACU) and ACG personnel by outlining key trends and schemes in financial cybercrime. Specifically, the handbook features modules on cybersecurity frameworks, cybercrime laws, financial investigations, fintech systems, and cryptocurrency fundamentals, ensuring officers are better equipped to address today’s digital crime challenges.
“These initiatives are a collective step forward in our continuing effort to protect Filipinos in the digital space,” said Brig. Gen. Bernard R. Yang, Director of the PNP-ACG. “Through strategic collaborations and timely learning tools, we are building a law enforcement force that is ready to address today’s emerging cyber threats.”
Other key officials present at the ceremonial event were PNP ACG Chief Investigative Officer PCol Jay D. Guillermo, GCash Chief Information and Security Officer Miguel Geronilla, GCash Public Affairs Manager Mabel M. Niala, and GCash External Affairs Manager Jerome C. Lantin.
The handbook will be rolled out to regional units via virtual assemblies and video modules, aligning with the PNP’s ongoing modernization strategy and the national government’s National Cybersecurity Plan (NCSP) 2023–2028. Developed by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), the NCSP sets the policy direction for a secure and resilient cyberspace in the Philippines.
This joint effort also comes on the heels of the recently released Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act (AFASA), a new law passed in July 2024 aimed at curbing online scams and fraudulent financial activities.
The AFASA targets key financial crimes such as social engineering scams and money muling, while also empowering institutions like the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to investigate suspicious financial activities. The Cybersecurity and Fintech Handbook seeks to help reinforce these regulatory updates by helping frontline police better understand and enforce provisions under AFASA.
Reporting scams made easier via QR

The event also marked the introduction of the Scam Assistance Hub (SAH), a new platform that simplifies scam reporting for the public.
The SAH QR code connects users to the GCash SAH website, a platform where victims of online scams can file police reports, receive assistance, and process documentation for claims under GCash’s Express Send Scam Insurance.
This initiative ensures a more coordinated response between the PNP-ACG and GCash in handling fraud complaints and supporting affected users.
Building a future-ready police force

These efforts complement the PNP-ACG’s broader public education and prevention campaigns designed to build digital literacy among both law enforcement and the general public.
“Technology will continue to evolve, and criminals will continue to adapt,” Brig. Gen. Yang added. “These initiatives will help in the long journey of strengthening our cyber defenses. What matters is that we are moving forward together with stronger capabilities, a clearer direction, and a deeper resolve.”
The group reminded that while the SAH QR Code is still being prepared for deployment, any incidents of cybercrime and fraud can still be reported via the PNP-ACG’s hotline 1326 or via GCash’s app Help Center or through any of the official customer support channels. The public may also follow PNP-ACG’s official social media pages for updates on its ongoing efforts to fight cybercrime and promote digital security nationwide.
Geely Motors Philippines (GMP) has achieved a first-time fulfillment rate (FTFR) of about 95 percent across its nationwide dealership network, crediting the milestone to system upgrades and a strengthened logistics partnership with SF Philippines, which has helped streamline deliveries and improve dealer support.
The result, highlighted during a recent vehicle release ceremony, further solidifies the companies’ long-term logistics alliance, reflecting Geely’s effort to deliver the reliability customers expect while continuing to raise its service standards through disciplined, sustainable partnerships.
“This partnership reflects how we want Geely to grow in the Philippines, by building a smarter, more connected ecosystem for mobility,” said Sylva Yu, CEO of Geely Motor Philippines. “We are not just expanding our network; we are investing in logistics, sustainability, and partnerships that enhance the customer experience.”
Logistics Partnership Drives Efficiency
Since the collaboration began, SF Philippines has helped make Geely’s parts logistics more responsive. Its warehousing and delivery network moves parts from Geely’s central warehouse to dealerships nationwide, allowing most dealer requests to be fulfilled on the first attempt.
An FTFR efficiency rate of 95 percent is comparable to fulfillment benchmarks among mature automotive networks. For Geely, maintaining this level requires constant coordination with its logistics partner and ongoing improvements in warehouse operations, reflecting the company’s growing capability under the direct-operations model.
At the center of this system is the Geely Spare Parts Center in Cabuyao, Laguna, a 4,700-square-meter hub that supports 12 delivery routes and holds an inventory valued at about USD5 million. With SF Philippines managing deliveries and route planning, parts now reach dealerships faster and more consistently, reducing repair lead times and minimizing vehicle downtime for customers.
These improvements built on GMP’s shift to direct operations earlier this year, which introduced upgraded systems, closer logistics oversight and stronger coordination across its aftersales network.
Geely Santa Rosa Shows the Gains
Efficiency gains are most visible at Geely Santa Rosa in Laguna, the brand’s first dealership under its direct operations. Guided by the new GMP management and supported by SF Philippines’ logistics network, the Santa Rosa dealership has achieved faster turnaround times and stronger parts availability, showing how logistics improvements are translating into more reliable service for customers.
Sustainability and Outlook
The alliance also supports Geely’s commitment to sustainable mobility. As part of the partnership, SF Philippines purchased Geely Okavango Elite, Coolray and EX5 units for its corporate fleet, which include hybrid and fully electric models aligned with both companies’ drive for cleaner, more efficient transport solutions.
The Geely–SF Philippines partnership shows how steady collaboration and logistics innovation can strengthen reliability and customer confidence. As Geely builds on its 95 percent FTFR performance, the company aims to refine its systems, sustain progress and deliver even greater efficiency for Filipino drivers.

Meltwater, a global leader in media, social and consumer intelligence, and We Are Social, the socially-led creative agency, have released Digital 2026, their latest annual report on social media and digital trends worldwide.
Digital 2026 reveals major milestones in internet and social media adoption, with more than two-thirds of the world’s total population now using social media. The report also points to a significant evolution in online behavior, as the battle for attention intensifies on established platforms.
A social media ‘supermajority’
According to Digital 2026, global social media user identities now stand at 5.66 billion, equivalent to 68.7 percent of the global population. This figure represents a ‘supermajority’, with social media users outnumbering non-users two to one. The global total increased by 4.8 percent over the past year, thanks to the addition of 259 million new user identities.
The battle for attention
While user numbers continue to climb, how people spend their time is changing. The typical internet user spends more than 2.5 hours per day on social and video platforms, with ‘filling spare time’ now ranking as the second-biggest motivation for using social media, behind ‘keeping in touch with friends and family’.
When it comes to which platforms are winning this battle for attention, Similarweb data shows YouTube has the largest number of active app users, almost 50 percent more than fifth-placed TikTok. However, the typical TikTok user spends an average of 1 hour and 37 minutes per day using the platform’s Android app, significantly more than any other social platform.
Social media now the top channel for brand discovery
Digital 2026 highlights fundamental differences in how different generations discover brands, with social media ads now the dominant channel for younger consumers.
The report finds that for internet users aged 16 to 34, social media ads are the number one source of brand discovery, with 34.2 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds and 32.1 percent of 25 to 34-year-olds using them to learn about new products and services. Social media ads also rank a strong second behind search engines for those aged 35 to 44, underlining a clear generational divide where older audiences still rely on more traditional channels.
AI adoption surges past 1 billion
Digital 2026 provides compelling evidence that more than 1 billion people now use standalone generative AI tools every month. OpenAI’s CEO reported that ChatGPT alone had 800 million weekly users in early October 2025. This rapid adoption is reshaping online behaviours, particularly search, with GWI data showing a steady decline in the number of people who use a conventional search engine each month.
Digital ad spend continues to climb
Marketers are on track to spend USD1.16 trillion on advertising in 2025, with digital channels accounting for nearly three-quarters (74.4 percent) of that total. Social media advertising continues to enjoy strong growth, with global spend projected to increase by 13.6 percent year-on-year to reach USD277 billion in 2025.
Digital 2026 is a 700-page report covering data from across the entire online ecosystem. Other key social media highlights include:
Social media ads are now the number one source of brand discovery for internet users aged 16 to 34, ahead of search engines and TV ads.
Women aged 16 to 24 now spend an average of 3 hours and 40 minutes per day on social and video platforms, the most of any demographic.
The typical social media user now uses an average of 6.75 different social platforms each month.
And from the wider digital ecosystem:
Online retail advertising is surging, with marketers on track to spend a combined USD204 billion on ads on these platforms in 2025.
Streaming services now account for more than half (50.4 percent) of all time spent watching TV content globally.
The number of people using a conventional search engine each month has seen a steady decline, with only 80 percent of online adults now using one.
Globally, YouTube’s advertising formats on connected TVs now reach more than four in ten of its users each month.
Nearly half of the world’s online adults say that they are excited about the potential of artificial intelligence.
There are 5.78 billion unique mobile users globally, equating to 70.1% of the world’s population
“We’re seeing a profound shift in how people discover brands, with more people turning to social media and AI platforms than ever before. Among younger audiences, social media ads now carry more weight than traditional search in shaping awareness and perception, while the rise of GenAI, now used by more than a billion people each month, is transforming how people find and trust information. For marketers and communicators, this is an exciting opportunity to build strategies that connect with audiences in new ways and meet them where they are today,” said Alexandra Bjertnæs, chief strategy officer at Meltwater.
Toby Southgate, global group CEO at We Are Social said: “This year’s report confirms the game keeps changing, creating both huge opportunities and a new challenge for marketers. A ‘supermajority’ of the world is now active on social media – this is where brands win or lose. That means we have moved from a race for reach to a battle for relevance. Success in this new landscape will be defined by a deep, cultural understanding of platforms and behaviours, and the ability to earn attention with ideas that are truly worth talking about.”
Zooming into the Asia Pacific region, Meltwater’s APAC vice president, Mimrah Mahmood, adds, “APAC remains one of the most dynamic digital regions in the world. Internet and social media usage in several markets consistently outpaces global averages, and audiences are increasingly embracing emerging technologies like AI. As these shifts continue, the opportunities for brands and organisations to meet consumers in the exact moments, platforms, and communities where they are also grows.”
LGUs and civic groups in various parts of the world, including the Philippines, are turning to emergency kits that are good for 72 hours to help people cope with and survive earthquakes.
The magnitude 6.9 earthquake in Cebu highlights the vulnerability of the Philippine population when disaster strikes. Residents of areas located on higher ground may be spared from floods and heavy rains, but earthquakes do their damage anywhere. They are the most unpredictable disaster of all.
Earthquake victims suffer Injuries from falling debris, get trapped in rubble, are isolated in areas where there is no electricity or access to food or water. No electricity also means no light and no way to charge phones to reach loved ones. Homes and possessions may be destroyed so people are left to the mercy of the elements, unprotected even from dengue-carrying mosquitoes. Soon enough, post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression will set in.
Why a 72-hour emergency kit? Because that time span is crucial after a major disaster. It can take up to three days for emergency services to arrive. Self-sufficiency is necessary for survival and to lessen the strain on overwhelmed responders. During those 72 hours people need food, water, shelter, medical supplies and ways to communicate as best they can.
Californila.com, a Filipino-owned company based in California, USA, a place also always at the ready for The Big One, has produced 72-hour emergency kits for disaster-prone and disaster-threatened areas around the globe.
Ishka Villacisneros, Filipina founder and owner of Californila, who is also an expert in emergency and disaster response, has now introduced the world-class emergency kits to the Philippines. Tailor-made for both LGU and private home use, the emergency kits are specifically tailored for earthquake survival. They contain communication and lighting tools, a first aid and medical kit, non-perishable food and water supplies, personal hygiene and sanitation essentials, shelter and warmth provisions (tent, sleeping bags, emergency blankets and ponchos.
They also contain a multi-tool pocket knife, fire starters, rope, a 115-hour candle, dust mask, 3 liters of water per person, moist towelettes, a 2-way radio, a whistle, a GPS device and other communication and navigation tools.
“In the United States, emergency kits are a common household necessity. The recent tragedy in Cebu highlights the urgent need to strengthen disaster preparedness in the Philippines. Natural disasters, like earthquakes, can leave families without essential needs such as food, water, and shelter,” said Villacisneros. “The experience of Cebu’s victims highlights the need for proactive measures to ensure safety and security when disaster strikes.”
Villacisneros said LGUs and civic groups can provide emergency kits for the community. “Emergency kits can be customized to suit specific individual or group needs. For instance, they can be made to include specific medications and other unique personal needs. The contents can be adjusted to what will best apply to the local situation and the go-bags are sturdy enough to withstand harsh environments.”
“Knowing that you have all the emergency solutions at your fingertips gives you peace of mind when emergencies happen. During these uncertain days of climate change, everybody is encouraged to avail of or make one’s own emergency kit,” she added.
Californila.com, a personal shopping company in the US, provides Filipinos worldwide with emergency kits and other global quality products from the US, minus the expensive intermediary fees and mark-ups.
Twenty student-led inventions from around the world have been shortlisted as finalists in the 2025 James Dyson Award, bringing them one step closer to the global prize.
Celebrating bold approaches to problem-solving, the James Dyson Award is an international design engineering competition that challenges young inventors to develop solutions to real-world issues. This year, entries tackle problems from climate change, accessibility in healthcare, to disaster response.

Championship battles heat up as the SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines, the country’s fastest racing series, nears the final stretch of its 2025 season. Round 3 returns to (CIS) on October 17–19 as part of the annual Clark International Festival of Speed (CIFOS), setting the stage for an epic title fight in the SR3 and SR1 Challenge Cups.
Fueled by race-engineered SEAOIL Extreme-97 fuel, it’s been a year filled with drama, comebacks, and unpredictability—none more so than in the SR3 Challenge Cup. Defending champion Mikey Jordan has emerged as the driver to beat, despite a transmission issue that forced him to sit out Race 1 in BRC. But with help from his team, Jordan Racing x Autoholic Garage, who sourced a spare SR3 in time for Race 2, he bounced back in spectacular fashion. Jordan went on to win both remaining races that weekend and now holds four wins from six races, with a strong lead in the standings.
Trailing him in 2nd is Rafa Caceres of C&C Motorsport, who has quietly built momentum with consistent finishes. Caceres leapfrogged Andre Rodrigues, who missed the previous round due to mechanical issues.
In the SR1 Challenge Cup, rookie sensation Juha Turalba of T2 Racing continues to lead the championship after a dominant start to the season, winning the first four races. However, his campaign hit a major setback when he crashed heavily in Race 2 at Batangas, which brought out the red flag. While Turalba fortunately walked away with only minor injuries, the same couldn’t be said for his sky-blue #44 Radical SR1, which remains in doubt for this weekend’s races. Whether the car—or the driver—can return in time may decide the outcome of the title fight.
Waiting in the wings is Miguel Quiñones, who sits 2nd in the standings after securing his first win of the season in Round 2. Not far behind in 3rd is Jaime Almario, who continues to show strong pace throughout the year.
The penultimate round of the championship will follow the standard three-day race format: Practice and Qualifying on Friday (October 17), Race 1 on Saturday (October 18), and Race 2 and 3 on Sunday (October 19).
The 2025 SEAOIL Radical Challenge Philippines is sponsored by SEAOIL Philippines, Inc., Bank of the Philippine Islands, Dove, Axe, The AutoComplex, and Second Skin Industries.

After years of waiting, Subaru fans are in for a treat as the brand is finally bringing its first full hybrid vehicle to the country, meet the Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid.
The Subaru e-Boxer Hybrid is the sixth generation of the now-iconic Forester line. What sets this new generation of Forester apart is that it is the first Subaru to use a full hybrid setup, or what they call a Strong Hybrid System (SHEV).
The SHEV works by having two electric motors, one dedicated to energy regeneration and drive power, and another purely for powering the engine. Because the two electric motors are located under the gearbox and not separately, Subaru was able to maintain its iconic Symmetrical All Wheel Drive system.
Powering the Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid is a 2.5-liter Boxer engine; of course, it would not be a Subaru if it didn’t have a boxer engine. According to Subaru, the engine has a max power output of 12kW and a max torque of 209 NM. Add to that the electric motors’ max power of 90kW and max torque of 276Nm.
Our brief initial drive of the Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid was a joy. Subaru sticking to a full-fledged mechanical AWD system makes the car more stable and smoother than most Hybrids I’ve driven. Since the electric motor is within the gearbox, power delivery is almost instantaneous.
As for the exterior, the all-new Forester gets a boxy front grille, which also houses one of the cameras for its EyeSight 4.0 ADAS. It also gets new headlights, nice-looking C-shaped DRLs, and some new, powerful fog lamps. You’ll also see the included roof rails, ready for your next adventure. At the back, you get the new rear light and a motorized rear door with a kick-to-open function.
One thing I’ve noticed about the Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid is how big it is. While it is an icon in the crossover segment since it first rolled out of the production line, the new generation is definitely the largest it has ever been, and is on the borderline of SUV-size territory. With the bigger size, you also get a bigger space for both passengers and cargo. Second row passengers get plenty of leg room and headroom. At the back, you get 484 liters of cargo space, one of the biggest in its class. In case you need more, you can fold the second row for a total of 1655 liters.
Going inside the Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid, you’ll be greeted with the panoramic sunroof. Next, you’ll immediately notice the 11.6-inch infotainment display, which, by the way, has wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Another thing to note is the seats. According to Subaru, they’ve partnered with a Japanese medical center to create a more ergonomic interior that maximizes comfort even on long drives.
What really impresses with Subaru ever since is their EyeSight ADAS. Subaru’s EyeSight technology has been one of the best in the industry, with the Forester e-Boxer Hybrid having the latest EyeSight 4.0 built in. EyeSight 4.0 includes the usual lane keep, rear vehicle collision, 360 monitor, and many more.
The Forester e-Boxer Hybrid is also the first car to include Subaru’s Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS), a special safety feature that allows the car to slowly stop in case the driver becomes incapacitated. Trying the EDSS out was a really unique experience, fighting the urge to control the car and letting it decide what to do on its own is something surreal.
The Subaru Forester e-Boxer Hybrid starts at PHP2,498,000. If you want to see the car for yourself, you can visit your nearest Subaru dealership and book a test drive now.

Building upon its powerful hardware foundation, vivo X300 series elevates portrait photography through comprehensive algorithm upgrades, moving beyond mere clarity into a new realm of “beautiful and storytelling” imagery. In static portrait, a variety of styles including the new Style Portrait and ZEISS Natural Portrait cater to different aesthetic preferences. The AI beauty feature, leveraging the powerful on-device AI capabilities of the jointly defined Dimensity 9500, learns users’ retouching preferences to enable one-tap batch enhancement. For dynamic portraits, the Live Photo experience has been completely revamped. It introduces the new Live Photo Passerby Erase function, which utilizes a self-developed video erasure model to intelligently and naturally remove background distractions. Particularly in Night Portrait scenarios, vivo has focused on solving the challenges of complex lighting.
