Dealer growth, nationwide service access, charging infrastructure, and resale guarantees defined VinFast’s 2025 push, as the brand focused on laying the foundation of an EV ecosystem to reduce hesitation and building confidence among Filipino buyers.
2025 was VinFast’s first full year operating in the Philippines, and it did not unfold quietly. From the outset, the company treated the market as one that required momentum, not patience. Products, partnerships, and policy moved forward together, guided by a simple belief inside the organization, adoption accelerates when hesitation is addressed early.
Acer Academy has entered into a partnership agreement with the
De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) to provide learning devices for deaf students through the School of Deaf Education and Applied Studies (SDEAS), a program dedicated to giving deaf Filipino learners access to inclusive, high-quality education.
Acer Academy donated five Acer TravelMate laptops to DLS-CSB. These devices are intended to help SDEAS students access online learning platforms, complete academic tasks and digital coursework, participate in blended learning activities, and improve their digital literacy and employability.
The journey started with Power (2014-2020), the story of nightclub owner, James “Ghost” St. Patrick, who secretly runs a drug empire. The universe then expanded to Power Book II: Ghost (2020-2024), which picks up after Ghost's death and follows his son, Tariq. Next came Power Book III: Raising Kanan (2023-2024) a prequel set in the 1990s that explores the formative years of Kanan Stark.
The saga continues with Power Book IV: Force, centering on Tommy Egan’s rise as he leaves New York behind for Chicago. With its season finale dropped on Lionsgate Play last December, there’s no better moment to dive into the chaos, drama, and high-stakes storytelling that define the Power Universe.

50 Years of Philippine Modern Art (1975-2025)
December 5, 1975 marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of Galleria Duemila, the longest-running art gallery in the Philippines today. Many of the illustrious thirty-seven artists featured in AVANTI, SEMPRE AVANTI / FORWARD, ALWAYS FORWARD represent symbiotic relationships that blossomed into life-long friendships with Silvana Ancellotti-Diaz. They, amongst several hundreds of artists, worked alongside each other to shape and influence the current Philippine contemporary art scene.
A Milestone for Galleria Duemila
This momentous two-month celebration from January 13 to March 14, 2026 showcases a range of paintings, mixed media, works on paper, and sculptures that have never or rarely been seen by recent generations of artists, collectors, arts appreciators, art students, and educators. These artworks created in 1957-2018, culled from Galleria Duemila’s vast collection and archive treasure trove were, for the most part, intuitively chosen. They are a small sampling of works that mesmerized this trail-blazing woman into promoting Philippine modern art unconditionally. AVANTI, SEMPRE AVANTI / FORWARD, ALWAYS FORWARD invites its viewers into an art world not based on fame and market value, but rather on Galleria Duemila/Silvana Ancellotti-Diaz’s love for artworks that surprise, create a sensation of bewilderment, and heighten curiosities.

Holiday traffic may test your patience, but VinFast helps make every ride feel easier
Every December, Metro Manila turns into its own obstacle course, bumper-to-bumper lines, packed parking lots, evening gridlocks, and errand lists that somehow never end.

The brand isn’t just selling electric cars, it’s building the kind of everyday convenience that lets you actually enjoy driving one, even in Manila’s most chaotic month.
