Thai rapper MILLI unleashes multi-dimensional heaviness in new full album HEAVYWEIGHT

Thai rap sensation MILLI unleashes multi-dimensional heaviness in her new full album HEAVYWEIGHT, marking her ascent to “heavyweight” status as an artist. Featuring 13 tracks that channel MILLI’s stories and emotions, the album combines captivating lyrics, raw emotions, hard-hitting beats, and her signature powerful rap style to deliver intense and powerful performances in each song. While almost all the lyrics are in English, MILLI incorporated fun Thai words and infused her own unique personality in every track.

The album features an impressive lineup of international artists, including Knock2, BewhY, Awich, and ATARASHII GAKKO!, alongside talented Thai artists like HUGO and Gong from the band H3F. Additionally, MILLI worked together with multiple international producers and songwriters during a songwriting camp in LA, returning with nearly half the album completed.

Sharing her feelings about the album, MILLI described HEAVYWEIGHT as “one that I truly love” and said, “It represents the weight in every fiber of my being, in every story that has come into my life. I compare myself to a boxer who has slowly climbed from the atomweight division, fighting through and facing every hardship that came my way. Now, I'm ready to step into the HEAVYWEIGHT division as an artist”.

2GO Moves The Mind Museum’s Mind Rover to Puerto Princesa

The Mind Rover travels to Palawan via 2GO

2GO, the Philippines’ largest logistics and sea travel provider, has once again partnered with The Mind Museum to bring the wonders of science closer to the islands. This time, the collaboration takes the Mind Rover to Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

As part of this initiative, and ahead of the Mind Rover’s arrival in Palawan, passengers aboard MV 2GO St. Francis Xavier sailing from Manila to Puerto Princesa and Coron over the weekend enjoyed a series of exciting, science-themed activities onboard. Curated by The Mind Museum, these interactive sessions brought STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) learning to life. They turn sea travel into a fun, meaningful, and enriching experience for both kids and adults onboard.

This unique initiative brought logistics and learning together to move not just people and goods but also spark curiosity and imagination across the sea.

“We are thrilled to partner with 2GO. Through its shipping capabilities, the Mind Rover gets to visit provinces in the Philippines where it would have taken weeks if traveled by land and would have been difficult to transport without 2GO’s direct link from Manila. Through this partnership, we are able to impact more communities and hopefully encourage more kids to have an inspired engagement and view of science or maybe, even take up STEM in the future. We even get to reach more audiences as we also do science shows on board 2GO!,” said Maria Isabel Garcia, Managing Director and Curator of The Mind Museum.

GCash VP and Head of New Businesses Winsley Bangit discusses how businesses can build a robust product roadmap and turn vision into value by innovating with customers in mind at the 1st Mansmith Product Masters Summit

Innovation must serve a purpose or risk becoming noise—and that purpose is your customer. This was the key message of GCash VP and head of new businesses Winsley Bangit during the 1st Mansmith Product Masters Summit held at the RCBC Plaza Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium in Makati City.

A pioneering thought leadership event, the 1st Mansmith Product Masters Summit convenes business leaders to tackle the full spectrum of product development from ideation to execution. Designed to offer both strategic insights and actionable frameworks, the summit serves as a platform for cross-industry learning and innovation.

In his session, “Building a Robust Product Roadmap,” Bangit, who leads strategy and partnerships for the super app's emerging growth areas like MadTech, insuretech, wealth management, and sustainability, challenged the race toward speed and merely for speed. During his talk he emphasized intentional innovation—the practice of designing products with real user problems in mind, guided by clarity and continuous validation.

“I’ve always believed that the best products are built when we listen closely to real customer needs—and when we learn from one another across industries,” said Bangit. “Products shouldn’t be built just because they can be, they should be built because someone genuinely needs them.”

File Photo: 2024 Developer of the Year RLC Residences garners the highest purchase intent in the next few years among other residential condo brands.

RLC Residences has once again solidified its position as one of the leading names in the residential condo market, topping both Top-of-Mind Awareness and Purchase Intent in a recent study conducted by Kantar. The residential division of Robinsons Land outperformed key competitors, particularly in the mid-tier condominium segment, showcasing strong conversion rates and brand affinity.

The study, which surveyed 1,035 property seekers from socio-economic class ABC1 households within NCR+ (NCR, Cavite, Rizal, Pampanga) and Cebu (Metro Cebu, Mandaue, Punta Engaño, and Busay), specifically males and females aged 25 to 60 years old who are purchase decision-makers of residential condominium property to buy, actively looking for a residential condo to buy from a developer, and intend to purchase in the next 2-3 years, revealed RLC Residences as the most recognized and preferred developer among local residential condo purchase intenders.

Among those who interacted with brokers, RLC Residences generated strong associations with: being highly recommended by friends and family, value for money, friendly and knowledgeable property agents, flexible payment terms, being known for property value increases, providing various payment channel options, providing digital condo services, and being customer-centric (immediately attends to client’s concerns).

Orange Magazine celebrates 15 years of fresh, engaging media

Orange Magazine PH proudly marks its 15th anniversary this July. From its formal launch in 2010, the platform has evolved from the bold vision of its founder into a dynamic and influential digital hub, demonstrating remarkable progress in the ever-changing media landscape.

The brainchild of Jessie Bunyi Villanueva, widely known as Jeman, Orange Magazine was born from a deep passion for magazines and a keen understanding of the internet's potential. A former tabloid correspondent and promotions coordinator for print publications, Jeman saw an opportunity to redefine media.

"I’ve always wanted to have my own magazine where I can accommodate every kind of information that pleases me without others telling me what and what not to publish," Jeman shares about his inspiration.

The name "Orange" was chosen deliberately, as Jeman explains that he chose the name to signify content that is always fresh, always relevant, and true. He adds that orange is the color of dawn, representing a new day and a fresh start. This philosophy guided the magazine's early focus on "fresh elements" – the hottest fashion, newest trends, and coolest entertainment personalities.
