vivo Philippines CEO Zeng Kai added, “We are thrilled to finally share OriginOS with our Filipino users. This upgrade is a leap forward in speed, design, and intelligence that will elevate how Filipinos connect and create every day.”

First Look: vivo X300 Series with OriginOS 6
The vivo X300 Series, set for a global debut this October, will be the first smartphones powered by OriginOS 6 based on Android 16. Users can expect a faster, more intuitive, and visually stunning experience from the moment they start using it.

Join the global celebration
Be part of this exciting leap in mobile technology at the vivo OriginOS Global Launch Event on October 15, 2025.
Witness the future of vivo as it unfolds and see how OriginOS will redefine the smartphone experience.

NLEX wins Investors in People Awards for supporting people and communities

NLEX Corporation continues to earn recognition for uplifting lives and strengthening communities. Investors in People Philippines (IiP), an organization dedicated to advancing people management practices, acknowledged its exemplary approach to employee development and community support.

On September 19, the company was named the 2025 People Investor of the Year and also recognized as runner-up for the Social Responsibility Award. These distinctions affirm that beyond the tollway business, NLEX Corporation serves as a catalyst for inclusive progress, committed to empowering individuals and communities through three of its flagship CSR programs.

• Pag-unlad at Paglago ng Pamayanan (PUNLA) – a capacity-building initiative for women-led small businesses that has helped women entrepreneurs to develop sustainable and socially responsible enterprises.
• NLEX-SCTEX Community Farm – a 650-square-meter farm established in 2024 through the joint efforts of NLEX employees and volunteers that has helped enhance the food security and has provided opportunities for sustainable income for the residents of Barangay Pio, Porac, Pampanga.
• Ang Bida ng Kalsada – a children’s picture book that teaches the importance of responsible road use through engaging stories and illustrations, helping young readers adopt safe behaviors and positively influence road safety in their communities.

“Our business goes beyond providing reliable road access. It is also about creating access to personal growth and community development. Being named People Investor of the Year affirms our commitment to cultivating a workplace where employees are engaged, supported, and empowered to thrive. At the same time, earning the Social Responsibility Award reflects our dedication to initiatives that uplift and create lasting impact in the communities we serve,” said Maria Anthonette V. Allones, MPTC Chief Human Resources Officer.

In 2023, NLEX was recognized by the IiP as the leading company in the Philippines’ construction sector for its excellence in people management and commitment to fostering a positive work environment. The company is among the top 2% of organizations worldwide with an IiP Platinum accreditation, the UK’s leading standard for people management and business improvement.

Mober, a frontrunner in green logistics services in the Philippines, has partnered with the Provincial Government of Laguna, led by Governor Sol Aragones, to make healthcare more accessible to Lagunenses with the use of an initial two electric three-wheeler tricycles.

The partnership supports the province’s agenda on improving healthcare in the province, especially for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and senior citizens. During her inauguration ceremony, Gov. Aragones announced key initiatives, including the implementation of free health cards, the development of district hospitals, and the expansion of "Akay ni Sol" pharmacies, which include the launch of mobile butikas to reach more underserved communities.

These electric units aim to complement the existing healthcare infrastructure, extending the reach of vital health services across the province.

"Healthcare is one of our top agendas for Lagunenses, and we are grateful to partners like Mober for enabling our initiatives in making healthcare more accessible to many communities in Laguna," said Gov. Aragones.

Mas nagiging abot-kaya ang operasyon ng mobile café on wheels, mas maraming napapasayang coffee lovers. Lumalaki man ang kita, tipid naman sa gastos. Yan ang diskarteng Bajaj Maxima Z, kaya isa ito sa first choice ng mga coffeepreneurs!

Comfort to the MAX – “Sobrang comfortable kesa sa dating tricycle cart at nakakaupo kami ng kumportable kahit maraming karga,” pahayag ni Neil.
