Nanatiling nakatuon ang administrasyong Marcos sa pagsusulong ng reporma sa sistema ng pensiyon ng mga military at uniformed personnel (MUP), habang nagpapatuloy ang masusing pagsusuri ng isang inter-agency group upang makabuo ng rekomendasyong balanse at kayang tustusan ng pamahalaan sa pangmatagalan, ayon sa Malacañang nitong Huwebes.

Sinabi ni Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Undersecretary at Palace Press Officer Claire Castro na patuloy na pinag-aaralan ng pamahalaan ang usapin upang matiyak na magiging makatarungan at sustenablye ang magiging sistema.

Batay sa pahayag ng Department of Budget and Management (DBM), sinabi ni Castro: “Sa ngayon ay ongoing pa ang pag-aaral. Sa ilalim ng Executive Order Number 107, Series of 2025, ang naatasang mag-aaral at magsasagawa ng komprehensibong pagsusuri o reporma sa military and uniformed personnel pension system ay ang binuong inter-agency na binubuo ng mga kinatawan ng DBM, DOF, BTR (Bureau of Treasury), and GSIS.”

Ipinaliwanag niya na pangunahing tungkulin ng inter-agency group na magsagawa ng malalim na pagsusuri sa kasalukuyang sistema at maglatag ng mga posibleng hakbang para sa reporma.

“Tungkulin ng nasabing inter-agency na magsagawa ng malalim na pag-aaral upang matiyak na magiging balanse, makatarungan at fiscally sustainable ang sistema ng pension, magrekomenda ang mga kaukulang hakbang o panukalang batas para sa reporma at inaatasan din ang lahat ng ahensiya ng MUP na magbigay nang buong suportang teknikal at administratibo sa nasabing technical group para sa pag-aaral na ito,” dagdag ni Castro.

Sa pamamagitan ng Executive Order No. 107, Series of 2025, na inilabas ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. noong Disyembre 2025, na-update ang base pay schedule at itinaas ang subsistence allowance ng mga military at uniformed personnel.

Samantala, naglaan ang administrasyon ng panukalang ₱142.95 bilyon para sa pensiyon ng MUP sa ilalim ng 2027 National Expenditure Program (NEP). Mas mataas ito ng 6.8 porsiyento kumpara sa ₱133.91 bilyon na inilaan sa ilalim ng 2026 General Appropriations Act.

Sa ngayon, nagpapatuloy ang pag-aaral ng inter-agency group, na layong makapaglatag ng mga repormang makatutugon sa pangangailangan ng mga uniformed personnel habang isinasaalang-alang din ang pangmatagalang kakayahan ng pamahalaan na pondohan ang sistema.

The analysis used Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite imagery captured on 06 August 2026 at 05:54 AM PhST (for Region 1) and 09 August 2026 at 05:58 PM PhST (for Region 2). The flooded areas were detected with the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) using a composite of three Sentinel-1 SAR images. 

SAR satellite imagery is useful in flood mapping because SAR signals can penetrate through clouds that often cover large areas during storms, and regardless of daylight conditions, unlike optical imagery. However, SAR may underestimate flooding in urban and densely vegetated areas because complex surfaces may affect the backscatter data being measured and reduce flood detection accuracy. Please note that these maps remain subject to ground validation. 

PhilSA supports the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) in monitoring the situation and prioritizing areas for response through the analysis of wide-area coverage satellite data. By making space data accessible to stakeholders, PhilSA enables informed decision-making and strengthens disaster response. 

PhilSA will continue monitoring satellite data as the situation requires. Please follow local and national agencies for the latest advisories.

The retail industry is entering one of the most transformative periods in its history.

Artificial intelligence is changing how consumers discover products. Customer expectations continue to evolve. Supply chains are becoming more interconnected and complex. Digital technologies are redefining business operations. New brands are disrupting established players, while retailers across the Philippines face a common challenge:

How do you stay relevant in a world that refuses to stand still?

For business owners, retail executives, entrepreneurs, marketers, technology providers, and decision-makers, the answers may be found at the 32nd National Retail Conference and Expo (NRCE 2026), happening on August 6–7, 2026, at the SMX Convention Center Manila.

Organized by the Philippine Retailers Association (PRA), this year’s event carries special significance as the organization celebrates its 50th Anniversary, marking five decades of leadership, advocacy, and service to the Philippine retail industry.

With the theme “New. Next. Forward.”, NRCE 2026 serves as both a celebration of the industry’s achievements and a roadmap for navigating the future.

More than a conference, it is where the country’s retail leaders come together to exchange ideas, discover innovations, build partnerships, and prepare for what’s next.

A Golden Milestone for Philippine Retail

The year 2026 marks a historic milestone for the Philippine Retailers Association.

For fifty years, PRA has championed the interests of retailers, helping businesses navigate economic shifts, industry disruptions, changing consumer behavior, and emerging technologies. Through advocacy, education, networking, and industry development initiatives, PRA has played a pivotal role in shaping modern Philippine retail.

As the organization celebrates its Golden Anniversary, NRCE 2026 becomes more than an annual gathering.

It becomes a reflection of how far Philippine retail has come—and an opportunity to define where it is headed next.

At a time when businesses are adapting to rapid technological change and evolving customer expectations, PRA’s 50th year serves as a reminder that resilience, innovation, and collaboration remain the foundations of long-term growth.

Opening Keynotes from Global Retail and Supply Chain Leaders

Setting the tone for this year’s conference are two distinguished Opening Keynote Speakers whose careers have helped shape retail and commerce across Asia and beyond.

V.P. Sharma: Building One of Southeast Asia’s Retail Giants

One of the most anticipated speakers at NRCE 2026 is V.P. Sharma, Founder and Group CEO of MAP Group Indonesia.

Widely regarded as one of Asia’s most accomplished retail entrepreneurs, Sharma transformed MAP Group from a single retail operation into a regional powerhouse with thousands of locations and a portfolio of globally recognized brands.

His keynote is expected to offer invaluable lessons on leadership, customer-centricity, sustainable growth, organizational resilience, and long-term business building.

In an era often focused on short-term results, Sharma’s journey demonstrates the power of vision, discipline, and consistent execution.

Joseph Phi: Reimagining the Future of Global Commerce

Joining Sharma as a Keynote Speaker is Joseph Phi, Group CEO of Li & Fung, one of the world’s most influential supply chain and sourcing companies.

With decades of experience leading global commerce, supply chain transformation, and operational innovation, Phi brings a unique perspective on how retailers can remain competitive in an increasingly interconnected world.

As supply chains continue to evolve amid shifting consumer demands and global market dynamics, his insights are expected to provide attendees with practical strategies for building agility, resilience, and long-term growth.

Together, Sharma and Phi represent two critical pillars of modern retail success: customer-centric retail leadership and world-class supply chain excellence.

Why NRCE Matters More Than Ever

Retail today extends far beyond products and physical stores.

Success now depends on understanding customers across multiple touchpoints, leveraging data effectively, embracing innovation, strengthening supply chains, adopting new technologies, and creating memorable customer experiences.

The organizations that thrive over the next decade will not necessarily be the largest.

They will be the most adaptable.

NRCE 2026 brings together some of the most influential minds in retail, marketing, leadership, technology, logistics, venture capital, and innovation to help businesses understand and navigate these changes.

Over two days, attendees will gain access to keynote presentations, expert-led discussions, case studies, networking opportunities, and a world-class retail expo showcasing solutions that are transforming the industry.

Leadership Remains the Ultimate Competitive Advantage

Technology may be changing the way businesses operate, but leadership remains one of the most important differentiators in any organization.

This is why NRCE 2026 welcomes Louie Banta, CEO and Chief Training Consultant of Learning Just Made Better, Inc.

Having trained leaders across 24 countries and worked with more than 500 organizations worldwide, Banta brings decades of expertise in leadership development, organizational effectiveness, and people transformation.

His session is expected to provide practical insights on leading through uncertainty, building resilient teams, managing change, and creating cultures that thrive in dynamic environments.

Making Sense of AI for Retail

Few topics are generating as much discussion in business today as artificial intelligence.

Retailers understand that AI is changing the landscape, but many continue to ask the same question:

Where do we start?

NRCE 2026 addresses this challenge through a practical session led by RJ Paculan, Managing Director of TBWA\SMP, and Paolo Broma, Chief Marketing Officer of TBWA\SMP.

Rather than focusing on technical jargon, their discussion will explore practical applications of AI, automation, generative search, customer engagement, content creation, and workflow optimization.

Their message is simple: successful AI adoption starts with understanding business problems first and applying the right technologies to solve them.

The future belongs not to organizations that merely understand AI, but to those that know how to apply it effectively.

Understanding the New Customer

Customer expectations continue to evolve at an unprecedented pace.

Retailers today have access to more data than ever before, yet many still struggle to convert information into meaningful action.

This is where Sunita Howe, Head of Marketing for Southeast Asia and India at Meltwater, brings valuable insight.

Her expertise in media intelligence, customer analytics, and brand growth offers retailers a deeper understanding of how data-driven decision-making can strengthen customer engagement, improve marketing performance, and create sustainable competitive advantages.

Investing in the Next Generation of Retail

Innovation often begins long before a company becomes successful.

It starts with identifying opportunities before they become obvious.

That perspective makes Joan Yao, General Partner at Kickstart Ventures, one of the conference’s most anticipated speakers.

Having invested in transformative companies including Xendit, Pickup Coffee, Kumu, Edamama, and Sprout, Yao brings firsthand experience in identifying emerging trends and helping businesses scale.

Her session will provide valuable insights into innovation, entrepreneurship, startup ecosystems, and the future of Southeast Asian business.

Beyond the Stage: A Complete Retail Innovation Ecosystem

NRCE 2026 extends beyond conference sessions.

The event’s expo floor will feature technology providers, retail solution companies, logistics partners, customer engagement platforms, service providers, and innovators from across the region.

Attendees will have opportunities to:

• Discover emerging retail technologies
• Explore AI-powered business solutions
• Learn about customer engagement innovations
• Evaluate logistics and fulfillment platforms
• Connect with suppliers and technology partners
• Build strategic business relationships
• Explore new growth opportunities

For many participants, the connections made during NRCE become just as valuable as the insights shared on stage.

Why You Should Attend NRCE 2026

Whether you are a retailer, entrepreneur, startup founder, investor, marketer, technology provider, supply chain executive, or business leader, the issues being discussed at NRCE directly impact your future success.

Artificial intelligence.

Customer experience.

Leadership.

Innovation.

Supply chain transformation.

Data-driven decision-making.

Business growth.

These are no longer future considerations.

They are today’s realities.

The organizations that understand these shifts earliest often gain the greatest competitive advantage.

Be Part of What’s Next

As the Philippine Retailers Association celebrates its 50th year, NRCE 2026 promises to be one of the most significant gatherings in the event’s history.

It is where industry leaders come together to learn, connect, innovate, and prepare for the future.

The future of retail will not be shaped by those who wait for change.

It will be shaped by those who help create it.

Magna Prime Chemical Technologies, Inc. took an active role in shaping the future of construction innovation as it participated in the VIETBUILD Hanoi 2026 International Exhibition, one of Southeast Asia’s most influential construction and building trade events. Held from March 26 to March 30, 2026, at the Vietnam Exhibition Center in Hanoi, the exhibition gathered more than 2,500 exhibitors and thousands of industry stakeholders from Vietnam and across the global construction value chain.

Representing countries such as Japan, India, China, France, Italy, Germany, South Korea, and the United States, exhibitors at VIETBUILD Hanoi highlighted the increasingly global and interconnected nature of the construction sector. Against this international backdrop, Magna Prime Chemical Technologies, Inc. stood out for its focus on advanced construction chemical technologies, particularly through its flagship brand, Buildrite Waterproofing Solutions. The company engaged with developers, architects, contractors, and procurement professionals seeking durable, high-performance solutions for modern building challenges.

Organized under the direction and support of Vietnam’s Ministry of Construction and the People’s Committee of Hanoi City, VIETBUILD Hanoi 2026 served as a strategic convergence point for innovation, policy direction, and market opportunity. The exhibition showcased the latest developments in construction materials, interior and exterior finishing systems, industrial machinery, digital construction platforms, and environmentally responsible technologies. For companies like Magna Prime, the event was not merely a trade show, but a forum for industry thought leadership and long-term collaboration.

At its exhibit, Magna Prime highlighted how construction chemicals are evolving from supporting components into critical enablers of sustainable and resilient infrastructure. Buildrite Waterproofing Solutions was presented as a case study in how materials science can directly address pressing industry concerns such as structural longevity, climate resilience, and resource efficiency. These solutions are engineered to enhance durability while reducing life-cycle costs—an increasingly important metric as governments and private developers prioritize sustainability and asset performance.

The company’s messaging aligned closely with the broader themes of VIETBUILD Hanoi 2026, which emphasized green construction, circular technology, renewable energy integration, and clean energy adoption. Magna Prime demonstrated how modern waterproofing and protective systems contribute to sustainable building practices by extending the lifespan of structures, minimizing material waste, and supporting energy-efficient designs. In doing so, the company positioned construction chemicals not as commodities, but as strategic tools for achieving environmental and economic goals.

Beyond product display, Magna Prime’s participation reflected a forward-looking perspective on the role of collaboration and knowledge exchange in accelerating regional development. Southeast Asia continues to experience rapid urbanization and infrastructure expansion, creating demand for solutions that can perform reliably under diverse environmental conditions. By engaging directly with regional stakeholders at VIETBUILD Hanoi, Magna Prime strengthened its understanding of local market needs while sharing global best practices developed across Asia Pacific and other international markets.

The exhibition also provided valuable opportunities to reinforce and expand partnerships with distributors, project owners, and technology collaborators. For Magna Prime Chemical Technologies, Inc., international exhibitions like VIETBUILD are integral to its growth strategy—enabling the company to align innovation pipelines with real-world construction demands and regulatory trends. This approach underscores its commitment to quality, continuous improvement, and responsible market expansion.

As the construction industry navigates increasing pressure to balance growth with sustainability, Magna Prime’s presence at VIETBUILD Hanoi 2026 highlighted the importance of leadership grounded in science, performance, and long-term value creation. The company articulated a vision where construction chemicals play a pivotal role in protecting infrastructure investments while supporting broader societal objectives such as climate adaptation and sustainable urban development.

By participating in VIETBUILD Hanoi 2026, Magna Prime Chemical Technologies, Inc. reinforced its position as a trusted partner for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects across the Asia Pacific region. Through Buildrite Waterproofing Solutions, the company continues to demonstrate how innovation in construction chemicals can deliver measurable performance benefits while contributing to a more resilient and sustainable built environment.

In an industry defined by transformation, Magna Prime’s engagement at VIETBUILD Hanoi 2026 serves as a reminder that progress is driven not only by new products but by thought leadership, collaboration, and a clear commitment to shaping the future of construction.

By prioritizing compliance, transparency, and ethical practices, Copperstone Lending Inc. demonstrates that fintech innovation and consumer protection can, and should, go hand in hand.

The Importance of Legitimate and Regulated Online Lending

One of the primary concerns for consumers navigating the online lending space is legitimacy. With so many financial products available digitally, borrowers need clear signals that a platform operates within the bounds of the law and adheres to recognized regulatory standards.

Copperstone Lending Inc. places regulatory compliance at the center of its operations. As a structured and SEC‑registered lending entity (SEC Registration Number 2021050012959-04), the company operates with clearly documented processes and oversight frameworks designed to protect both borrowers and stakeholders. This registration is not merely a credential, but it reflects Copperstone’s commitment to accountability, lawful operations, and responsible financial conduct.

By aligning with regulatory expectations and maintaining strict internal compliance protocols, Copperstone helps ensure that borrowers can engage with confidence, knowing they are working with a transparent and legitimate financial institution.

Transparency Through Clear Loan Terms and Fair Communication

A common source of borrower dissatisfaction in online lending is unclear loan structures and repayment expectations. Copperstone Lending Inc. addresses this by prioritizing clarity and fairness at every stage of the borrowing process.

Loan terms are presented in clear, accessible language, detailing interest rates, repayment schedules, fees, and obligations with no hidden conditions. This transparency helps borrowers make informed decisions with confidence.

Copperstone also maintains fair, consistent communication by providing timely updates, proper documentation, and ongoing customer support. This approach minimizes confusion, prevents misunderstandings, and builds lasting borrower trust.

Protecting Borrower Data Through Strong Cybersecurity Measures

In today’s digital economy, data privacy and cybersecurity are critical to responsible online lending, as platforms handle highly sensitive personal and financial information.

Copperstone Lending Inc. uses advanced security measures such as encrypted data handling, secure systems, and strict access controls to protect borrower information from unauthorized access or misuse. The company also follows structured data-governance practices to ensure ethical handling and compliance with privacy standards.

This comprehensive approach strengthens borrower confidence in an environment where security concerns often influence financial decisions.

Ethical and Responsible Collections Practices

Responsible lending extends beyond loan issuance to repayment and customer support. Copperstone Lending Inc. handles collections with professionalism, fairness, and respect, recognizing that financial challenges can arise.

All collections activities follow applicable regulations and internal guidelines that emphasize respectful, constructive communication. Customer care teams focus on providing clarity, assistance, and proper documentation rather than pressure.

This responsible approach preserves borrower dignity while maintaining operational integrity, benefiting both borrowers and the wider financial ecosystem.

An Education‑Driven Approach to Borrower Empowerment

At the heart of Copperstone Lending Inc.’s mission is the belief that informed borrowers make better financial decisions. Education is not an afterthought. It is a fundamental pillar of responsible online lending.

Through clear explanations, structured disclosures, and ongoing communication, Copperstone helps borrowers understand their financial commitments and available options. This education‑driven approach reduces the risk of misunderstanding and encourages thoughtful borrowing behavior.

By equipping consumers with knowledge rather than relying on complexity, Copperstone strengthens long‑term trust and promotes healthier financial outcomes across its borrower base.

A Commitment to Accountability in Digital Lending

The future of online lending depends on elevating standards across the industry. Copperstone Lending Inc. continues to demonstrate that innovation does not have to come at the expense of ethics, security, or accountability.

Safe online lending starts with legitimacy, transparency, and responsibility. These principles that Copperstone actively upheld in every aspect of its operations. As borrowers seek trustworthy fintech partners, Copperstone Lending Inc. remains committed to setting an example of how digital lenders can operate responsibly while delivering value, security, and confidence to the consumers they serve.

Consistent Principles Reflected Through MocaMoca

This commitment to responsible and transparent financial practices is also reflected through its brand, MocaMoca.

While Copperstone Lending Inc. focuses on safe and compliant online lending, MocaMoca reinforces the same principles of transparency, clear communication, and user responsibility in its financial services approach.

Together, they reflect a consistent commitment to responsible finance, built on trust, clarity, and accountability.

Digitest was developed to help companies evaluate their digital readiness, ensuring they maximize efficiency at their current stage and strategically identify priority areas for the next phase of growth. Aligned with Globe Business’ Digital Maturity Assessment Model, the tool takes businesses through a guided questionnaire that measures their readiness across six key dimensions: Vision and Strategy, Customer Experience and Channels, Operations and Processes, Data and Technology Readiness, People and Capabilities, and Investment and Prioritization. These areas reflect the core elements that shape a company’s ability to adapt, innovate, and sustain digital transformation.

Upon completion, users receive a personalized report that pinpoints their current maturity stage. This comes with actionable recommendations and relevant Globe Business solutions to help them move forward in their digital transformation journey with confidence.

The Digitest model outlines five stages of digital maturity among Philippine enterprises, starting with the Observer, which consists of businesses with limited digital adoption and minimal technological investments. The next level is the Explorer, characterizing those beginning to explore automation and the early stages of digital transformation. Companies then progress to the Adopter stage, using digital tools more consistently to enhance operations and growth. This is followed by the Proficient organization, which has embedded technology and automation into its daily operations. The highest level is the Innovator, reserved for enterprises where digital adoption is core, featuring deep automation and advanced technologies in place.

Digitest underscores Globe Business’ continuing commitment to advancing digital acceleration in the Philippines. “We created Digitest to help enterprises turn uncertainty into direction,” said KD Dizon, VP and Head of Globe Business. “Many organizations are actively pursuing digital transformation, but are unsure how to accurately assess their progress. With Digitest, they can see exactly where they stand today and what steps to take next. It’s about empowering businesses to make informed, data-backed decisions.”

“Digital transformation is fundamentally a growth journey, but without a clear measure of maturity, that journey may stall,” added Dizon. “With Digitest, we’re giving Filipino enterprises a clear roadmap so they can innovate with purpose and move forward with clarity.”

Through Digitest, Globe Business once again reaffirms its role as a trusted partner in driving enterprise growth, empowering organizations to immediately operationalize assessment data into high-impact, continuous transformation while contributing to a stronger, more digitally empowered Philippines.

The Pokémon Company recently released the latest news about the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 software title Pokémon Legends: Z-A and the Nintendo Switch 2 software title Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, as well as the Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC.

New Video for Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension

A video showcasing the latest information about Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension is now available on the official Pokémon YouTube channel.

Please check out the title Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension | Get Charged Up with Mega Zeraora by clicking this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZyRv99PMX4

Mega Zeraora, the Mega Evolution of the mythical Pokémon Zeraora, appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension

It looks like getting the mythical Pokémon Mega Zeraora for the Trainer’s team in Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension will be a little difficult. Trainers should keep their eyes peeled for a way to encounter it as they play through the DLC!

Mega Zeraora

Category: Thunderclap Pokémon

Type: Electric

Height: 4’11” (1.5 m)

Weight: 98.1 lbs. (44.5 kg)

There’s a secret behind its top-class capabilities as an Electric-type Pokémon—removing its limitations.

Zeraora has incredibly high aptitude to begin with, but typically it has an internal limiter that works to contain the electric energy stored within its body. It’s thought that Mega Evolution removes this limiter.

Whether Trainers can sync up with Mega Zeraora will be key. Mega Zeraora decides on its own will when it releases its energy and unleashes its full power. Trainers wanting to partner up with Mega Zeraora can choose to trust its decision or be in sync with it so that they can match its timing.
