Two decades strong: Acer maintains its leadership as the #1 laptop brand in the Philippines

Acer maintains its dominance in both consumer and gaming segments, building on two decades of sustained market leadership.

Acer continues its two-decade streak as the Philippines' No. 1 laptop brand. According to Nielsen-GfK data for the first five months of 2026, Acer maintains its dominant position, commanding 37% and 34.5% market shares in the consumer and gaming laptop segments, respectively. 

This enduring performance extends an extraordinary milestone. Acer has been the Philippines' top-ranked laptop brand for 20 consecutive years (2006–2025), an achievement validated by the IDC Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker (Q4 2025). The brand enters this year following a historic 2025, where it reached an all-time high of 37.3% total consumer laptop market share, driven by robust performance across its gaming and non-gaming portfolios.

“These achievements are deeply meaningful to us as we celebrate Acer’s 50th anniversary,” said Sue Ong-Lim, Managing Director of Acer Philippines. “They reflect our strong commitment to our mission of breaking barriers between people and technology, one that has guided our innovations for five decades.”

Bukas Palad at 40: A lookback into four decades of music and ministry

If you didn't know who the Bukas Palad Music Ministry was in name, you would still likely know them through songs that have helped shape both religious music and the soundtrack of modern Filipino spirituality. From liturgical standards like “Anima Christi” and “Tinapay ng Buhay,” to devotional pieces like "I Will Sing Forever" and "Tanging Yaman," many of their songs have now become embedded in mainstream Filipino culture, commonly played during weddings, graduations, baptisms, ordinations, and funerals.

It all started when nine friends were invited to sing at a wedding. At that time, they were already compiling songs that they had written as early as when they were in high school, but the group never really planned to establish a music ministry. Until a Jesuit priest encouraged them to start recording their songs for a fundraiser.

Evil Dead Burn, the newest and most intense installment of the iconic Evil Dead franchise, keeps the horror intimate as the nightmare unfolds on a grieving family. Director Sébastien Vaniček wants to treat audiences with a brand new set of characters and dynamics. “I wanted to immediately introduce a new generation of characters, and have the audience quickly understand their connections to each other: two brothers, a wife, a girlfriend, a birthday, a cake, a party. There’s a lot of dynamism in that scene, which I think prepares the audience for the energy of what’s coming next,” says Vaniček.
