In a bid to treat its loyal HONOR fans, the brand is set to launch its first-ever HONOR X9d 5G Fan Fest at SM Megamall Fashion Hall on January 24, 2026.
Leading global AI smart devices provider HONOR Philippines has partnered with Shopee Philippines for Shopee Live on Wheels at Market! Market!, happening from January 20 to 24, 2026.

After getting banished from the King’s Cave, a mischievous pig yao (an animal with supernatural powers considered by some as demons), together with three other yaos, goes on a journey to the west.
HONOR X9d 5G has once again proven its viral appeal as a leading global AI smart devices provider. HONOR Philippines recently announced that it has set a new company sales record. Notably, a single buyer at SM North EDSA placed an order for 250 units of #TheToughestPhone.
“We were truly shocked when we found out about it. For privacy reasons, we did not ask about the buyer’s purpose for placing a bulk order, but we are very happy to receive such overwhelming support—not only from that buyer, but from each and every customer who pre-ordered the HONOR X9d 5G,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.
Coming in PH cinemas on Jan 28
The intensity is cranked up to the max as director Timur Bekmambetov’s signature Screenlife style evolves in his dystopian action thriller Mercy. Known for his work in Unfriended and Searching, his fusion of traditional cinematography and onscreen filming pulls the audience into the story. Bekmambetov’s goal has always been to let moviegoers have the most immersive experience possible. “The Screenlife genre requires believable performances and very grounded storytelling,” says Bekmambetov. “When I began Mercy, I thought, ‘In real life I live in two realities at once — the physical world, and a world of windows, buttons, clicks, messages. I work, I fight with people, forgive people, all not in the physical world. So why are we not telling stories about that?’”

Finally, a two-year standard warranty offers free repair or replacement for essential device issues, rounding out the total ₱19,008 value of coverage.
The dead have got something to say. “The Bride!,” written, directed and produced by Maggie Gyllenhaal (Academy Award-nominated writer/director of “The Lost Daughter”) and starring Golden Globe winner Jessie Buckley as The Bride, and Academy Award winner Christian Bale as Frankenstein, is a bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories. Also starring Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal and Penélope Cruz. The film opens in cinemas March 4, 2026.

A lonely Frankenstein (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (five-time Oscar nominee Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!
