Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced the new Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G, the latest Galaxy A series devices that bring Samsung’s newest mobile innovations — including enriched Awesome Intelligence  — to more users worldwide. The latest Galaxy A series reflects Samsung’s commitment to expanding AI capabilities across more devices and empowering more users to harness the power of intuitive AI that simplifies everyday tasks. Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G strengthen the experiences users rely on every day with upgrades to performance, camera and display, alongside durability and security features. With up to six generations of OS upgrades and long- term security support, the new Galaxy A series is built to last. Leading the lineup is Galaxy A57 5G, featuring a slimmer, more refined design and upgraded AI-powered capabilities that make it the most powerful Galaxy A series device yet.

Enriched Awesome Intelligence Designed for Everyday Life

Through the latest One UI 8.5, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G extend Samsung’s latest AI innovations to more users, with Awesome Intelligence that helps people get more things done with ease while unlocking new ways to create and stay productive.

Voice Transcription is new to the Voice Recorder app, making it easier to revisit important details from meetings, lectures or calls by quickly transcribing and translating call recordings or turning voicemail audio into text. AI Select is easier to access with a long press on the Edge Panel, surfacing relevant actions directly on the screen to extract text or create content without manually selecting items. AI Select also supports Drag & Drop in Multi-Window layout, allowing users to easily move images into Samsung Notes or Photo Editor for faster editing and improved productivity.

Awesome Intelligence makes everyday photo editing easier than ever. Object Eraser now delivers more natural results when removing unwanted distractions, like a passerby in the background or clutter in a café. On Galaxy A57 5G, Best Face  supports more photos and continuous shooting, making it easier to capture the perfect group photos where everyone looks their best. Fan favorite tools like Filters and Edit Suggestions  help users quickly refine and share moments without extra effort, while Galaxy A57 5G also features Auto Trim  for even easier video editing.

Circle to Search with Google   adds multi-object recognition so users can easily explore multiple items in an image at once — from an outfit to surrounding accessories — all in one search.

The new Galaxy A series expands Awesome Intelligence experiences with a choice of agents designed to simplify everyday tasks from search to organizing plans or easily adjusting settings. As a conversational device agent, upgraded Bixby  lets users intuitively control Galaxy settings and features using natural language, while Gemini  navigates complex tasks across native Galaxy apps and select third-party apps to support faster, more intuitive interactions.

Awesome Camera to Capture Clearer Photos and Videos, Day or Night

As AI becomes more deeply integrated into mobile experiences, camera performance remains essential to delivering the everyday usability and satisfaction users expect.

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G deliver brighter, clearer visuals powered by the upgraded camera hardware and an improved Image Signal Processor (ISP). The devices feature a versatile triple-camera system, led by a 50MP main sensor , delivering sharp, detailed images across a wide range of lighting conditions without the need for manual adjustments.

When the lights go down, the Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G camera adapts seamlessly with improved Nightography  , capturing clear and true-to-life photos and videos even in low light conditions.

Galaxy A57 5G takes photography a step further with enhanced image processing that sharpens detail and reduces noise for even clearer, more vibrant results. It delivers rich contrast and balanced color even in challenging light, while with a faster shutter speed, users can instantly capture fleeting moments faster and with improved clarity. 

Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G also benefit from AI-based subject recognition and scene optimization to balance portraits, preserve natural skin tones and create clearer background separation. When the moment calls for a wider perspective, the ultra-wide lens captures more in every group photo or landscape view, while the 5MP macro camera reveals fine details up close for added creative flexibility.

Performance for Streaming and Multitasking

Galaxy A57 5G delivers the best of both design and performance , combining upgraded CPU, GPU and NPU to deliver improved performance with its sleek and light form. Built for smooth streaming, scrolling and content creation, its refined design features a glossy finish and distinctive triple-camera island for a standout modern look that feels comfortable in-hand.

Despite its slimmer profile, Galaxy A57 5G packs powerful performance. Its 5,000mAh battery supports up to two days of use  — powering everything from filming and editing to viewing on the go. Slimmer bezels and a bright Super AMOLED + display with Vision Booster ensure an immersive, clear viewing experience indoors and outside.

Built for everyday use, Galaxy A57 5G and A37 5G are rated IP68  for water and dust resistance, adding durability in real-world environments and offering users peace of mind when accidents happen.

Galaxy A series offers users holistic protection through innovative security and privacy features including Security & Privacy Dashboard, Auto Blocker, Private Sharing, Theft Protection as well as the new Private Album, a Gallery feature that allows users to lock away personal media quickly and easily. Unlike traditional safeguards, the latest A series devices also proactively notify users about potential risks with Privacy Alerts, which are intelligent notifications that offer clearer insight and control over location permissions or suspicious monitoring of sensitive data. Together, these enhancements make security feel as intuitive as the rest of the experience, making device protection easier than ever for everyone.

Beyond simply watching the stage, the audience can experience deep immersion, feeling as if they are passing through a journey together with TWS.

This VR concert showcases diverse spatial transformations, starting from a rock festival scene where music explodes, continuing to a rooftop bathed in a golden sunset, and culminating in an aurora unfolding like a scene from a movie. The space and atmosphere transition organically, creating a three-dimensional experience unlike anything found elsewhere. It is also garnering anticipation by promising the longest running time among all VR concerts to date.

In addition, their hit songs “OVERDRIVE” and “plot twist” meet the VR stage, adding new visual spectacles. Furthermore, through “Oh Mymy : 7s,” a song that highlights the sextet’s synchronized choreography and powerful energy, you can enjoy their musical narrative that oscillates between excitement and confidence.

With AMAZE’s proprietary technology, ‘RUSH ROAD’ elevates its overall quality by implementing three-dimensional staging that feels like an extension of reality, stylish camera work, and sound design that maximizes their sense of presence. The refreshing energy and free, dynamic performance that define TWS, combined with VR technology, deliver a charm distinct from conventional stages.

Gloc-9 Launches Seven Poetry Chapbooks "Makata Sa Pinas"

Gloc-9, going by his real name Aristotle Pollisco, has launched seven poetry chapbooks under the omnibus title Makata Sa Pinas - a hashtag he has been using the past decade.

While Gloc-9 previously released the poetry book Akin Lang Naman in 2017 with ABS-CBN Publishing, this new project offers a different approach to presenting his work as poetry. This time, Gloc-9 envisioned a series of slimmer volumes - a concept that became the starting point of the project.

In collaboration with the small press Everything’s Fine, the idea grew into a deeper reexamination of his entire discography. By revisiting the recurring themes and subject matter that consistently surface throughout his music, seven chapbooks were developed, each shaped around these enduring ideas and reflections.

The first three chapbooks are personal. "Pagkatao" tracks his development as a poet, talking about his roots in Binangonan, Rizal, and how this formed him into the rapper that we now know as Gloc-9. "Pangarap" includes all the poems about his dreams of becoming a songwriter and a rapper, reaching those aspirations, and reassessing what that means to him. "Pursigi" talks about the kind of hard work and persistence that reaching one's ambitions demands, the clarity of one's goals, and the importance of holding on to one's values.

From the personal, the next two chapbooks slowly shift to Gloc-9's storytelling through poetry. "Pagibig" speaks of love — from the familial to the romantic, and to the ones that unravel and end painfully. "Komunidad" tells the stories of the people that exist in our local neighborhoods — the people we talk to, the ones we care for, the ones we rarely see.

The final two chapbooks turn to the more political dimensions of Gloc-9’s poetry. “Lipunan” reflects on the kind of society we have collectively - and often unconsciously - built, shaped by who we have become as people and by the hate and compassion we choose to nurture within it. "Bayan" is composed of the stories of our nation that few popular songwriters speak of, from the perspective of the struggling majority who suffer in the hands of the wealthy and powerful few.

In totality, the seven chapbooks of Makata Sa Pinas capture the 28 years of Aristotle Pollisco as the poet of the nation. It also reminds us of how much more he can continue to do, given where he comes from, who he has become, and the legacy he has continued to build.

About the books

Makata Sa Pinas: Mga Tula ni Aristotle Pollisco is a collection of seven poetry chapbooks by Gloc-9, whose real name is Aristotle Pollisco. The works draw inspiration from the themes and stories found throughout his 28-year discography as one of the Philippines’ most influential rapper-songwriters.

The seven chapbooks present Pollisco’s poetry as an evolving journey—beginning with reflections on the personal self, expanding into the life of the community, and ultimately engaging with the broader socio-political realities of the nation.

Each chapbook stands on its own through its distinct themes and subject matter. Taken together, however, they invite readers to reflect more deeply on their identity, their place within their communities, the roles they play in society, and the importance of remaining aware of and engaged with issues that shape the nation.

The nation's girl group shows no signs of slowing down with their back-to-back music releases. “Unang Kilig,” composed and produced by Jeremy G, captures the rush of blossoming romance — that heart-fluttering moment of wondering whether it’s finally time to confess your feelings.

Meanwhile, “Honey Honey” was released as a surprise along with “Unang Kilig.” It celebrates the sweetness of being in love, highlighting the simple yet meaningful moments shared with someone special. The song was produced and co-written by Jacob Munk and Pontus “Oneye” Kalm—who have worked with international artists such as Miley Cyrus, Liam Gallagher, and BTS—alongside Grammy-winning songwriters Greg Shilling, Melanie Fontana, and Star Music artist Khimo Gumatay.

More surprises from BINI are coming this year as they prepare for their upcoming performance in Coachella this April, where they will represent Philippine music, alongside other global artists including Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G. With new music, international collaborations, and a historic global stage awaiting them, BINI continues to carry Filipino talent to new heights.

“It’s a song for hopeless romantics but it can also be for the dreams we want to own, the unanswered prayers we want to claim and happen kasi malay mo baka bukas,” the Tarsier Records artist shared.

The pop-contemporary folk song captures the willingness to wait and cling on to the hope that love may come their way someday. It was composed by Angela and produced by Ken Ponce.

Recently, Angela joined Maki’s “KOLORCOASTER: One More Ride” where they performed a duet version of “Sikulo.” She also made waves on the international stage as a performer at the 30th Asian Television Awards where she sang “Kulimlim.”

The Kapamilya artist debuted in 2021 with the breakout hit “Ako Naman Muna,” which has over 70 million streams on Spotify. The following year, she released her self-titled first album featuring the tracks like “Akala Maling Akala,” and “It’s Okay Not to Be Okay.” She further proved her songwriting and vocal prowess with singles like “Pwede Bang Mamaya?” “Alas-Diyes,” and many more.

“There Na ‘Yan!”: The Palawan Promise to OFW Families

For millions of Filipino families, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) are everyday heroes who carry the weight of sacrifice so their loved ones can build better lives back home. Every remittance tells a story of love, resilience, and deep responsibility. In tribute to these modern-day heroes, Palawan Group of Companies launches its “There Na” campaign, shining a spotlight on OFWs and reinforcing the value of fast, reliable, and accessible international remittance services. Through Palawan Express Pera Padala and PalawanPay, families can receive support quickly and securely via more than 45 international remittance partners and thousands of branches nationwide or via the app anytime, anywhere, ensuring that distance never becomes a barrier to care.

In their recent commercial, the “There Na” message comes alive through real stories of overseas Filipino workers, whom many Filipinos regard as modern‑day heroes. A construction worker in Dubai sends his son’s allowance for school in Luzon, while a seafarer in Alaska sends funds to her wife in the Visayas, and OFWs in Hong Kong also send financial support, showing that distance is no longer a barrier.

Bringing this message to life is Marian Rivera, who, for many Filipinos, will always be associated with Darna, a symbol of strength, courage, and timely rescue. Marian Rivera appears in Cavite, receiving a gift from her grandfather in Spain, demonstrating how international remittances can be claimed quickly, securely, and with ease. Just as Darna represents reassurance in moments of need, Marian’s presence in the “There Na” campaign reflects the comfort families feel knowing that when their loved ones abroad send support, it arrives safely and without delay. By connecting the heroism seen on screen with the real-life sacrifices of OFWs, the campaign highlights a powerful truth: when love is sent home, it is already there.

Marian Rivera said the campaign connects her experiences with the realities faced by Filipino families: “I always stepped in to help those in need on screen, and this campaign brings that same energy to real life, helping families receive support quickly and safely. It feels meaningful to stand with a 100% Filipino-owned company that truly serves and uplifts our modern‑day heroes in their everyday lives.”

Karlo M. Castro, Palawan Group President and CEO, shared, “This campaign is our way of honoring the sacrifices of our kababayans abroad. OFWs are real heroes, working tirelessly, often from thousands of miles away, to provide for their families. Every peso they send carries their love, hope, and dreams, and we want to make sure it reaches home safely, quickly, and with peace of mind. ‘There Na’ is our promise to stand with them, celebrating their dedication and the lives they touch every day.”

Palawan Group’s services support this mission by making it simple for families to claim international remittances. Funds can be received at 3,500 Palawan Pawnshop-Palawan Express Pera Padala branches across the Philippines, or directly through the PalawanPay app for users who prefer digital convenience. This combination of physical reach and mobile access ensures families can receive support quickly while choosing the method that works best for them. This ease and reliability reflect the spirit of the “There Na” message: help arrives exactly when it’s needed. Much like Darna, who protects the innocent and helps those in need, Palawan Group strives to be a dependable presence for Filipino families. As a cultural icon, Darna represents empathy, courage, and hope, values that echo the brand’s mission to ensure support is always within reach for loved ones back home.

“Distance may separate families physically, but it should never weaken the love that binds them. Through ‘There Na,’ we show how remittances can reach loved ones efficiently and safely, helping overseas Filipinos stay present in the lives of their families even when they are far from home,” emphasized Bernard Kaibigan, Palawan Group Chief Marketing Officer.

The “There Na” campaign draws a powerful parallel between the heroism once portrayed on screen and the real dedication of overseas Filipino workers. Just as Darna stood for strength, courage, and stepping in to help others, the campaign champions OFWs as everyday heroes whose remittances carry care, connection, and support across the globe. For many families, these remittances are vital lifelines that help provide for education, healthcare, daily expenses, and long-term goals. With Marian Rivera’s warmth and trusted presence, the campaign’s message is clear and powerful: wherever Filipinos are in the world, when they send support to their loved ones, it is “There Na!”

Lactacyd Empowers Women to Face Life’s Transitions Fearlessly Together

In a world that celebrates milestones, achievements, and transformations, the moments that truly shape a woman often happen quietly, in between. This International Women’s Day, Lactacyd shifts the spotlight to these unseen chapters, honoring women not just for who they become, but for everything they go through along the way. From career pivots to postpartum changes, these often-overlooked transitions, marked by uncertainty and quiet resilience, deserve to be celebrated too.

Shining a light on women’s in-between moments

Lactacyd’s “Fearless Together” campaign aims to bring these shared yet often unspoken experiences to light, encouraging a more open and supportive conversation around what it truly means to move through change. By recognizing these phases, it reframes women’s journeys not just through achievements, but through the courage it takes to navigate uncertainty.

“At Lactacyd, we believe that a woman’s journey is not defined solely by milestones, but by everything she goes through in between,” said Jamie Superable-Martin, Brand Manager of Lactacyd. “These transitions can feel deeply personal and, at times, isolating. Through this campaign, we want women to know that what they’re experiencing is valid, shared, and something they don’t have to face alone.”

In honor of International Women’s Day, Lactacyd also brings this message to life through music with the release of “Together Fearless,” performed by Jolianne Salvado, a rising female OPM artist known for her emotive vocals and heartfelt storytelling. The song captures the highs and lows of navigating change, reinforcing the campaign’s messagethat even the most personal moments are shared experiences where recognition and support are always within reach.

At its core, the campaign is a reminder that confidence is not only found at the finish line, but also in the journey itself, and that when women support one another, even the most uncertain moments can feel more manageable.

Supporting confidence through every stage of change

As women move through different stages of life, feeling physically comfortable can make a meaningful difference in how they show up for themselves each day. Lactacyd supports women through these transitions by helping them feel confident and at ease, no matter what phase they are in.

This is made possible through LACTOBIOME+™, the brand’s improved formulation present across its feminine wash, baby wash, and body wash range. Combining Natural Lactoserum, known for its nourishing and hydrating properties, and Organic Lactic Acid, which helps maintain the skin’s natural pH and strengthen its protective barrier, LACTOBIOME+™ helps keep skin healthy, balanced, and resilient.

For decades, Lactacyd has been a trusted partner to women, guided by a commitment to listen to their evolving needs and care for their skin at every stage of life. By continuously addressing these needs, the brand helps women feel comfortable and confident in their own skin, empowering them to speak up, be seen, and be heard. This commitment remains strong, especially as the brand marks International Women’s Day by encouraging women to share their stories of the in-between moments that shape them.

Because when women share their stories, encourage one another, and move forward together, they can face every stage of change fearless together.

Uratex Brings the “8-Hour Movement” to AbensonHOME Waltermart Makati for World Sleep Day

Many people spend hours researching the next phone, television, or kitchen appliance for their home. Yet when it comes to the bed - the place where we spend nearly a third of our lives - the decision is often made quickly and replaced only when absolutely necessary.

Sleep experts say the bed deserves the same thoughtful consideration as any other home essential. A well-designed mattress supports the body throughout the night, helping people fall asleep more comfortably and wake up feeling refreshed.

For Uratex, the country’s leading mattress brand and a long-time advocate for better sleep, this insight highlights the importance of helping Filipinos rethink how they approach rest at home. In celebration of World Sleep Day, Uratex brought its “8-Hour Movement: A Wake-Up Call for Better Sleep” to Abenson Waltermart Makati, highlighting how the right sleep environment - and the right mattress - can make a meaningful difference in achieving truly restorative sleep.

A Smarter Approach to Better Sleep

Held on March 14, 2026, the event transformed part of the Abenson retail space into an interactive setting where guests could learn more about sleep health, explore Uratex mattresses, and discover practical ways to improve their nightly rest.

By bringing the 8-Hour Movement to Abenson Waltermart Makati, Uratex places the conversation about better sleep in one of the country’s most trusted destinations for home appliances and essentials.

“Sleep is one of the most important pillars of health, yet it’s rarely discussed when people think about upgrading their homes,” said Christian Cheng, Category Manager. “With the 8-Hour Movement, we hope to show how the right mattress can help people achieve deeper, more restorative sleep.”

For AbensonHOME, the collaboration aligns with its reputation as a trusted retailer for appliances and home essentials that improve everyday living.

“At AbensonHOME, we’ve always focused on helping customers find products that make everyday living better,” said Ms. Pearl Perlada, Sr. Marketing Manager. “Partnering with Uratex allows us to highlight that sleep is just as important as any appliance or home essential.”

Expert Insights on Healthy Sleep

The afternoon program was hosted by Betong Sumaya, who guided guests including Charlie Fleming, PBB Celebrity Collab Edition Season 1 Alumni, through a series of discussions and activities centered on the importance of sleep.

A key highlight of the event was an expert talk by Dr. Reinzi Bautista, physician, Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine, who shared insights into the science behind the 8-Hour Movement. The talk emphasized how consistent sleep habits and a supportive sleep environment contribute to overall health and wellness.

Following the discussion, invited key opinion leaders and influencers joined the stage for a short interview segment, sharing their personal experiences in maintaining healthy sleep routines despite busy schedules.

Guests also took part in several interactive segments designed to make the conversation around sleep both engaging and informative.

A Celebration of Better Rest

Throughout the month, visitors can explore Uratex mattress displays at Abenson Waltermart Makati and experience firsthand how proper support and comfort can influence sleep quality.

For Uratex, the initiative reflects its long-standing mission of helping Filipinos achieve better sleep. 

“Sleep is one of the most important pillars of health,” Christian Cheng, Category Manager added. “By bringing the 8-Hour Movement to places where people make decisions about their homes—like AbensonHOME—we hope to remind everyone that better days begin with better nights.”

Through its collaboration with AbensonHOME, Uratex continues to bring the conversation about sleep closer to Filipino households—one mattress, one habit, and one better night’s rest at a time.

Real People, Real Dreams: Meet the Two Young Winners of Kojie.san’s Holiday Millionaire Promo

Kojie.san, one of the best-selling lightening soap brand in the Philippines, recently celebrated the culmination of its Holiday Millionaire campaign with a formal awarding event at the Beauty Elements Ventures Inc. headquarters in Makati City.

The event brought together company leadership, media partners, and the brand team to recognize the campaign’s two grand prize winners: Patris Ape of Negros Occidental and Kiven Klyde Terania of Negros Oriental. Each received ₱1 million in cash.

Patris, a college student who has been using Kojie.san since high school, joined the promo multiple times and plans to use her winnings to support her education and help her siblings pursue theirs.

Kiven, meanwhile, joined the promo after being encouraged by his girlfriend, a longtime Kojie.san user. Having paused his studies to help his father in their family’s sugarcane farm, he plans to use the prize to support his parents and eventually return to school. Their stories became the highlight of the campaign’s conclusion - proof that the Holiday Millionaire promo was designed to reward real people whose everyday routines already include the brand.

“At its core, Kojie.san has always been a brand built on real, visible results. And over time, that’s what has earned us the trust of so many loyal consumers - people who continue to make us part of their everyday routine,” said Nikki Filio, BEVi Marketing Director.

The Holiday Millionaire campaign was created as a way of recognizing that trust. “With this campaign, we wanted to build on that relationship,” Filio explained. “To take something familiar - something as simple as daily use - and turn it into something more meaningful. Not just through big wins, but through real moments of reward that more people can experience.”

Participation in the promo was designed to be simple and accessible. Consumers could join by submitting receipts from a minimum purchase of Kojie.san products, giving them the chance to win instant rewards such as GCash credits, online shopping vouchers, and Kojie.san product bundles, in addition to the two ₱1 million grand prizes.

Beyond the prizes themselves, the campaign reflected a deeper philosophy behind the brand. For Kojie.san, building relationships with consumers goes beyond advertising - it is rooted in consistency, authenticity, and delivering on promises.

In keeping with that principle, the company ensured that both winners received the full ₱1 million prize, tax-free.

“Our CEO and president, Jazz Burila, always reminds us that ‘if you say something, you’ve got to deliver,’” Filio said. “We shouldered the prize tax because we didn't want our winners to feel shortchanged. When we promised a million, we wanted them to hold exactly that in their hands.”

Over the years, Kojie.san has grown alongside a community of consumers who share similar values - people who celebrate each other’s milestones and support one another’s journeys.

For the brand, the Holiday Millionaire campaign was one way of strengthening that community.

“Because for us, it’s not just about skincare - it’s about being part of the moments that make people feel good about themselves, and give them the confidence to command beauty.”

As Kojie.san continues to expand, the brand remains focused on finding new ways to celebrate and reward the consumers who have supported it through the years.
