In 2025, Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn gave M2M the ending the duo never got: the first headlining tour of their career that sold out across Asia and numerous countries around the world. Now comes TWO, a brand new global tour that will start in March 2027 in Singapore, Manila, Hong Kong, Jakarta, and reaching Mexico. MANILA will be on April 2, 2027 at the Araneta Coliseum. Tickets will go on-sale on Saturday, October 24 at 10AM via TicketNet.com.ph and TicketNet outlets nationwide. Presented by Wilbros Live.
"The Better Endings Tour exceeded our wildest dreams. We had no idea how full those rooms would be, or how natural and beautiful it would feel to get the band back together, hearing thousands of people singing these songs at the top of their lungs," says Marit Larsen. "What was dreamt up as just that – a better ending – ended up sparking a whole new thing that we can't help wanting to investigate further. I think we both knew, sitting on the floor backstage after our last show, that we had to keep going."

In the home appliance industry, while most brands are still stacking specs and piling up selling points, TCL Air Conditioner has been doing something different — upgrading the air conditioner from “passive response” to “proactive service.”
A market position of 100 million units sold in five years and No. 2 in global exports; inverter controllers independently developed by one of the few companies in China capable of doing so; and a self-developed, self-manufactured compressor — the “heart” of the air conditioner. With genuine data and real technology, TCL AC is charting a differentiated path of long-termism. From a global industrial footprint to a self-developed technology moat, from a home-scenario product matrix to intelligent manufacturing built to navigator-level standards, TCL AC is building a complete brand narrative in which “rational strength builds recognition, while emotional warmth wins preference.”
For Filipinos, smartphones have become indispensable to help us juggle work, school, errands, entertainment, and everything in between. But with long commutes and screen time stretching well into the night, keeping a phone charged can feel like a constant worry. Because we use our mobile phones as an alarm clock to start the day, a navigation tool during the commute, a mobile office or classroom, an entertainment and a communication hub, and a camera for life’s spontaneous moments, the last thing anyone needs is a phone that runs out of power before you’re safely home.

Watsons employees work hand in hand to support the Operation Smile medical mission at Cebu City Medical Center, helping bring cleft care closer to Filipino children and families.
Every child deserves a childhood filled with smiles. But for children born with cleft lip and palate, making that possible can take a community. Beyond the physical challenges, some children experience teasing and bullying, which can affect their confidence and willingness to interact with others.
