“We’re turning the Manila leg into a celebration of health, planet, and creativity. Sarah G represents the energy and passion of every Filipino who stops at nothing — exactly what CAMON 50 stands for.” ~Ms. Phia, TECNO Marketing Manager

Luzon Institutional Partners will spearhead the promotion of a digitally inclusive Philippines at the 2025 GCash Digital Excellence Awards

"2025 was truly a year where GCash doubled down on its commitment through partnership with the government in advancing digitalization in our country. We are moving beyond ear access to delivering world-class innovations that people use daily. We could not have reached these heights alone. Together, we have brought strengthened fiscal management, streamlined disbursements, and connections to the LGU." ~Ernest Cu, Mynt Chairman



The 5th GCash Digital Excellence Awards (GDEA), which honored national and local government agencies that are actively transforming how Filipinos can get public services more swiftly, safely, and entirely cashlessly, marked another momentous landmark for Philippine governance.

The subject for this year was "Recognizing Digital Pioneers: Empowering the Public Sector for a Modern, Inclusive Philippines." Of the 45 honorees countrywide, 32 were from Luzon, indicating the region's growing commitment to financial modernization and digital governance. The Grand Hyatt Manila in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, hosted the event.




Thanks to GCash's digital payment infrastructure, these organizations have made significant strides in developing government services that are not only efficient but also accessible to all residents, regardless of location or circumstance.

Leading the example in the Ilocos Region, the Bauang Public Market in the Municipality of Bauang, La Union, was honored for encouraging sustainable financial digitalization across public market transactions, making cashless transactions commonplace for both customers and businesses.

Through better online service options and secure digital payment methods, the Metropolitan Tuguegarao Water District in the Cagayan Valley was acknowledged for improving citizen access to water-related services.




Central Luzon was a significant cluster of honorees, with the City of San Fernando in Pampanga, the City Government of Baliwag and its Baliwag Public Market in Bulacan, the Municipality of Morong, and the Provincial Government of Bataan being the five institutions that were cited. In both urban and rural locations, these LGUs have increased the scope of their online services and put in place digital payment methods for market transactions, utilities, and municipal levies.

The Metropolitan Naga Water District was also honored for Digital Transformation Excellence in Utility Efficiency, demonstrating how utilities are utilizing digital tools to enhance service delivery. In the meantime, CALABARZON added four reputable organizations to the list: the Municipality of Tanay, the City Government of Santa Rosa in Laguna, the City Government of Imus in Cavite, and the Pililla Water District in Rizal. Each of these organizations is putting in place traceable, user-friendly digital systems that make it easier for citizens to access government services.

Luzon's beneficiaries include the Municipality of Mauban, Quezon, and its Mauban Public Market; the City of Lucena; the Provincial Government of Quezon; and Antonio L. Raymundo, Jr., President of the League of Municipalities of the Philippines - Bataan Chapter. They were recognized for their efforts to digitize public services across provincial municipalities and expand online payment options, bringing contemporary governance closer to the areas that most need it.




The ceremony also recognized several national government agencies for advancing digital transformation and financial inclusion in public service. The Department of Transportation's Metro Rail Transit Line 3 received the Digital Breakthrough Growth Award for expanding the usage of digital payments in commuter services. The Department of Social Welfare and Development, the Land Bank of the Philippines, and the Philippine Crop Insurance Corporation were selected Champions for Digital Advocacy and Connectivity in an effort to expand access to digital financial services. The Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-IBIG Fund) was awarded the Leader in Sustainable Financial Digitalization Award for its long-standing digital initiatives, while the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Philippine Statistics Authority, and the Bureau of the Treasury were named Catalysts in Financial Inclusion for improving digital access and transparency in public financial systems. The Department of Trade and Industry also received the Excellence in Digital Transformation Award for integrating digital platforms into services that support Filipino businesses.

We are one with the government in the mission to serve every Filipino. Everything we do is anchored in our shared vision of finance for all. Every leader here tonight is a testament to the belief that no Filipino should be left behind in the digital economy." ~Cleo Santos, GCash VP and Head of Public Sector

The GDEA's award categories were designed to accommodate organizations at various phases of their digital transformation. While the Digital Breakthrough Growth Award recognized first-year adopters, the Excellence in Digital Transformation Award recognized companies that demonstrated steady growth in digital transactions between 2022 and 2025.

While awards for Digital Transformation Excellence in Healthcare, Education, and Utility Efficiency offered sector-specific recognition, the Catalyst in Financial Inclusion Award recognized programs that greatly expanded financial access for impoverished Filipinos.

Long-standing partnerships were honored with the Leader in Sustainable Financial Digitalization Award, which is only granted to companies who have collaborated with GCash for at least five years. Governments should require payment methods and cashless transactions, according to the Leader in Sustainable Financial Digitalization for Public Market. In these public markets, at least 70% of active vendors use GCash as payment from their customers.

The figures illustrate the motion. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas reports that over 97% of government-to-government and government-to-employee transactions are now completed digitally, and retail digital payments account for over 57% of all transactions in the nation.

Setting the bar for what digital transformation must achieve, Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) Director General Ernesto Perez stressed that results must ultimately be felt by citizens. 

"Digital excellence within government rests on tangible results experienced by individuals and enterprises. It is seen in faster transactions, simplified requirements, dependable payment channels, and platforms that reach communities regardless of geography or circumstance. Through this initiative, GCash and ARTA continue to champion the goals by promoting ease of doing business, enhancing digital payment systems, and fostering stronger collaboration between government and the private sector." ~Director General Ernesto Perez, Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA)

By putting the spotlight on Luzon's digital trailblazers, the 5th GDEA reinforces that the path to a modern, inclusive Philippines is already being built, one LGU, one transaction, and one empowered citizen at a time.

Red Bull Dance Your Style Philippines New Champion Izzy Johnson Qualifies for World Finals in Zurich

“I felt that all my pressure was replaced by excitement. The crowd became my fuel. When I saw they were happy with my dancing, I felt like I had already won. Because of the dance community, I was able to find my own style. I used to only do choreographed dances before. But freestyle is different. I used to freestyle on my own, but thanks to the dance community, I was able to learn more. I also absorbed some of their maturity—that when it comes to dance, you don't have to be too technical. You just have to be true to your dance. I guess one of the dance battle tactics that helped me was learning to connect with the crowd through my movements. Since this is Red Bull Dance Your Style, it was so important that they understood my movements. Our artistry must touch their hearts. To represent the Philippines at the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Finals is to represent the people. But first of all, it starts with me, I’m a Filipino, so I represent myself first. And I represent every Pinoy that helped me get to this moment.” ~Izzy Johnson, Red Bull Dance Your Style Philippines 2026 Champion


Amidst loud cheers, flashing lights, and constant rhythm, Manila's Izzy Johnson defeated the country's most energetic street dancers in a contest chosen exclusively by the audience at the Red Bull Dance Your Style Philippines National Finals. By becoming the final dancer standing at Bridgetowne, Pasig, with every beat, every reaction, and every shift in intensity, Izzy won the title and the chance to represent the Philippines on the international stage in Zurich, Switzerland.

Izzy was joined in lighting up the event by two Red Bull Dance Your Style Philippines competitors, Nemesis from Cebu and Doodsieroll from Davao. The National Finals combined local energy, international skill, and enthusiasm for the art form to showcase the diversity and depth of street dance in the Philippines.


A Night Where the Crowd Took Control



From the first round on, the National Finals proceeded swiftly. The audience made all of the decisions because there were no judges on the panel, turning the dance floor into a venue where audience participation was just as significant as performance.

Each battle became like a live conversation between the DJ, the dancer, and the audience, with the dancers not knowing what music would be played next. Tracks quickly changed, forcing competitors to switch strategies, flip the energy, and respond exactly under pressure. The audience's enthusiastic and enthusiastic response in real time created momentum and determined who advanced and who withdrew from the tournament.

As the bouts continued, the audience's bond with the dancer became more apparent, impacting the overall flow of the event. The energy cycle it created made each instant bigger, louder, and more unpredictable.


A Champion Carrying a Nation’s Rhythm



By the end of the competition, one dancer had consistently captured the attention of the audience. Izzy combined musicality, control, and presence to deliver remarkable performances in several bouts. His ability to adapt to different tracks while maintaining a clear sense of individualism ultimately ensured the triumph. In Izzy's performance, the audience saw a familiar reflection of hometown roots, cultural influences, and the commonplace movement that defines Filipino street dancing.

While talking about his influences, Izzy praised the local Filipino dancing tradition. Throughout the entire evening, Izzy demonstrated a command of the song. He mastered the art of combining unmatched energy, groove, and spontaneity to create rounds that rocked the night.


A Battle Map Across the Philippines



The National Finals were a dynamic cultural map rather than only a competition. It illustrated how different styles from different regions of Mindanao, Visayas, and Luzon still have an impact on the country's street dancing culture.

Cebu's Nemesis burst into the spotlight with explosive, grounded force through techniques based on strength, grit, and pure desire. From the first beat, the crowd was captivated by the deliberate delivery of each strike.

Doodsieroll, a Mindanao native from Davao, replied with a fluid musical style. He expertly blended rhythm and movement with time and control to create moments that felt effortless yet highly deliberate, drawing the audience into each change.

As the capital's representation, Izzy offered a sharp, innovative edge. By experimenting with textures, speed, and unexpected freestyle choices, he confounded expectations and kept every round unexpected.

Despite their individuality, each dancer contributed to a greater narrative. Their styles merged together rather than conflicted. As local identities persisted while working toward a shared goal—representing the Philippines internationally—the struggle transformed into a colorful display of Filipino inventiveness.


From the Philippines to the World Stage



Izzy is now concentrating on the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Finals, where participants from over 54 countries will compete in a global duel of identity, sound, and style, following her victory in the national championship.

Every dancer moves differently on this stage, where cultural expression is crucial. Izzy Johnson sees it as an opportunity to represent the nation as a whole on the international front.

As street dancers from all around the country showcased their unique dance styles and techniques, the Philippines came to the Red Bull Dance Your Style stage as a unified force, forged from various islands, now moving as one. As Izzy prepares to go global, one thing is clear: the Philippines is bringing a flair and energy that the rest of the world cannot ignore.




The passion and popularity of Red Bull dancing Your Style Philippines were fueled by the official event partners Army Navy, Hertz, Mophie, and Posh, who also improved this year's special competition and the local street dance community.

In recent years, Refresh Natural Wellness has gained increasing recognition as a beauty and wellness establishment that prioritizes professional care and personalized treatments.

Rather than offering one-size-fits-all approaches, Refresh Natural Wellness strongly emphasizes thoroughly evaluating each client's needs prior to prescribing any therapy.

The use of body contouring methods, such as cryo slimming, to enhance body form has gained in popularity. These procedures are a part of the global spread of non-surgical body contouring technologies, like EMS sculpting and RF-based solutions, which are designed to support body sculpting goals without downtime and target resistant fat.




Customers who wish to address dullness, uneven texture, and early signs of aging are especially interested in skin rejuvenation treatments.

In order to empower Filipino micro-entrepreneurs, PCPPI increases support for sari-sari establishments

“Every time our frontliners visit a sari-sari store, we make sure that they are getting the best prices. Technology helps us ensure that the discounts and promotions intended for sari-sari stores reach them directly. We are very clear about our purpose. Our goal is to serve sari-sari stores and support the entrepreneurs behind them—not just today, but for many years to come. Affordability does not mean lowering standards. It means becoming more efficient so we can continue delivering quality products to Filipino consumers.” ~Phyo Phyu Noe, PCPPI President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) 


In order to empower small retailers and improve product accessibility throughout communities, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (PCPPI) is strengthening its support for sari-sari stores through a technology-enabled direct-to-retail strategy.

Sari-sari establishments continue to be vital to the Philippine retail scene as local hubs and sources of income for millions of Filipino households. Because it understands the importance of these micro-entrepreneurs, PCPPI continues to base its long-term business plan on them.

According to Phyo Phyu Noe, President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of PCPPI, the company is focused on employing a distribution model that allows owners of sari-sari stores to directly benefit from the company's promotions, pricing policies, and service support.

Many small shopkeepers, many of whom are female entrepreneurs, rely heavily on sari-sari stores for their household income and financial stability. By increasing its direct engagement with local stores, PCPPI intends to help them run more efficiently and remain competitive in a changing retail environment.


Delivering value in changing times

As Filipino consumers become more value-conscious in the face of economic hardships, PCPPI is also enhancing efficiency throughout its operations in order to continue supporting sari-sari businesses and the communities they serve.

PCPPI intends to continue growing alongside the sari-sari stores that are essential to Philippine communities through its locally based, technologically enabled distribution strategy.

PCPPI is the exclusive manufacturer of PepsiCo beverages in the Philippines, with products such as Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7Up, Mirinda, Mug, Gatorade, Sting, Tropicana, Lipton Iced Tea, Milkis, Chum Churum, Saero, and Premier. More information about PCPPI and its products is available via www.pepsiphilippines.com.

BSB Junrose Corporation Presents Liqui Moly Oils, Additives, and Protection Technologies for Effective Fuel Use

“As fuel prices continue to rise, these technologies help riders maximize every liter and reduce unnecessary fuel loss. When we look at the bigger picture, it is no longer just about individual components. It is about how efficiency and safety work together to support better, more reliable riding. We may not control fuel prices, but we can control how efficiently we use fuel.” ~Mr. Ian Bangayan, President of BSB Junrose Corporation


As fuel prices continue to increase, motorcycles are becoming a more efficient means of transporting people and goods throughout the country. The Philippine motorcycle community is still growing as a result of demand from regular riders, ride-sharing services, delivery platforms, and enthusiasts.

As the demand for motorcycles increases, three critical performance factors—safety, dependability, and fuel efficiency—become more significant to both riders and pillion passengers. In this context, riders are searching for methods to boost productivity without compromising safety or performance.


Mr. Ian BangayanPresident of BSB Junrose Corporation


At a media event at the BSB Junrose Corporation display booth at the 10th Makina Moto Expo, which was held at the SMX Convention Center on April 10, 2026, BSB President Mr. Ian Bangayan emphasized that rising fuel prices made engine efficiency and smarter vehicle management more crucial than ever.


 Understanding the Efficiency Gap

Not all of the fuel that enters an engine is fully used or converted into usable power. Common riding conditions including traffic, heat, and short-distance travel lead to increased internal friction, carbon accumulation, and decreased overall efficiency.

These factors ultimately lead to lower engine performance, lower mileage, and higher fuel consumption. They may also lead to increased maintenance requirements and long-term repair costs.


Minimizing Friction, Maximizing Efficiency

Bangayan stressed the need of utilizing Liqui Moly, a well-known German brand of motor oils, additives, and engine protection technologies. Liqui Moly uses innovative lubricants like MoS₂ and Molygen to reduce internal friction, boost efficiency, and protect engine performance over time.

Brembo





 





BOSCH









JTEKT



By removing metal-to-metal contact, MoS₂ lowers engine wear and friction. Molygen, on the other hand, helps keep the engine clean by reducing carbon deposits and encourages smoother operation during extended use.

The engine runs more smoothly and silently and eventually consumes less gasoline when internal friction is reduced.


Efficiency and Control in Focus

In addition to Liqui Moly motor oils, additives, and motorcycle maintenance products, the BSB Junrose exhibit featured JTEKT bearings, Bosch horns, motorcycle batteries, and Brembo motorcycle braking components, highlighting the importance of both efficiency and safety.
