Vermosa Green Run 2026 wants runners to acquire simple habits that will help save the planet

Every single person can make a huge impact on the environment through simple, everyday choices. From reducing food waste, saving household energy, minimizing single-use plastics and reusing containers, small collective habits help lower the carbon footprint and conserve global resources.

 

That’s why the fifth edition of the Vermosa Green Run on June 28, 2026 is raising public awareness about ecosystem conservation, pushing for an active lifestyle and sports development, and supporting animal welfare, a fundamental pillar of sustainability. 

 

Lani Tan, General Manager of Ayala Vermosa Sports Hub and an athlete herself, says Green Run participants this year are made more mindful of the role they play in saving the planet. The Run wants to teach runners that being planet-friendly starts with simple habits that can easily be incorporated into training and race-day routines.

 

“Using reusable hydration bottles or collapsible cups, properly segregating waste, picking up litter along the route or whenever possible, and using designated disposal areas are simple habits that can easily be incorporated into training and race-day routines,” she said.

 

At the Run, Green Runners are encouraged to donate used plastic bottles in exchange for race perks including a Php 100 registration fee discount. The bottles will be recycled to create eco bricks that will become construction materials for future projects of Ayala Land.

 

This year's race singlets, finisher shirts, and dog bandanas are made from recycled PET bottles to show that discarded plastics can be transformed into high-quality products that support active lifestyles.

“Wearing planet-friendly gear on race day is a shared badge of honor that shows we are actively investing in the preservation of the environment that sustains our active lifestyles,” Tan said.

 

For her, the true success of the Green Run will be measured by the good habits that participants adopt long after the event ends.

 

“As we celebrate our fifth year, we hope to inspire a permanent shift toward mindful consumption and conscious living. Crossing the finish line should be the start of a lifelong habit of waste reduction, active recycling, and respecting outdoor spaces. We want our runners to carry this sustainable mindset back to their respective neighborhoods, workplaces, and every future race track they conquer,” Tan said.

 

Green Run 2026 will be held in the lush and sprawling Vermosa Estates in Imus, Cavite, with 3K, 5K, 10K, 21K race categories and a 1K Dog Run attracting runners of different fitness levels and running purpose.

 

More than a race, the event serves as a reminder that building a healthier planet does not always require grand gestures. Sometimes, it starts with choosing to go greener, one small step at a time, Tan added.

 

Green Run 2026 is supporting Haribon Foundation, Takbo Kabitenyo and Pawssion Project and is in turn supported by Oishi, Merrell, Pocari, Salonpas, Booster C, Fitbar, Gatsby, Milo, Apex, Topbreed, Dunsk Kuhner, Baby Boo, Chef Special, Entrée Gourmet Pet Treats, Saint Roche, The Gourmet Specialist, Zert, Wonderpaw.

Insurtech firm RuralNet surpasses PHP 400 M in microinsurance claims

RuralNet, a leading Philippine Insurtech (insurance technology) company, has officially surpassed PHP 400 million in insurance payouts across 33,000 processed claims, proving the scalability and profitability of its digital microinsurance model.

The milestone comes as the company announces a strategic expansion into natural calamity protection by Q3 2026. This move aims to future-proof underserved communities as the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) issues an official advisory confirming the onset of El Niño conditions, an event projected to bring volatile climate risks well into early 2027.

Unlike traditional insurtech startups struggling with sustainability, RuralNet has built a profitable, API-driven platform that now protects over 6 million Filipinos. The company, established in 2018, has successfully penetrated 81 out of the country’s 82 provinces through partnerships with insurers, rural banks, cooperatives, and microfinance institutions, bridging a critical financial inclusion gap in rural and low-income areas where insurance penetration has historically hovered below two percent.

The milestone coincides with a shifting landscape in the Philippine financial sector. Recent data from the Insurance Commission reveals countrywide insurance penetration edged up to 1.78%, reflecting a growing awareness among Filipino households. Yet, a massive protection gap remains with only 28% of Filipinos with life insurance, leaving millions in rural and low-income areas completely exposed. This is the untapped vital market that RuralNet’s digital model is optimized to capture.

"As a social impact company, RuralNet was founded to provide a safety net to low-income Filipino families who are the most vulnerable to financial shocks. This latest milestone proves that our affordable microinsurance plans can make a real difference for thousands of families when they need it most, while also being a scalable and profitable business model. By leveraging technology, we’ve been able to deliver higher quality service to our customers, at a fraction of the cost. This year, we’re excited to scale our natural calamity protection plans to help alleviate the financial pressure from climate change on rural households, with the goal of rapidly providing immediate and necessary aid on the ground after disasters,” said Justin Arcenas, Founder & CEO of RuralNet Inc.

A key driver of RuralNet’s profitability is its proprietary digital infrastructure, which has streamlined the claims process to turn around payouts 75% faster than the industry average, boasting a 97% claims approval rate. By enabling rural banks, cooperatives, and microfinance institutions to digitally distribute insurance via APIs, RuralNet has drastically lowered operational overhead.

Supporting this nationwide expansion is CashKO Insurance Brokerage, RuralNet’s wholly owned subsidiary. CashKO, recognized as the country’s fifth-largest microinsurance provider, has protected over 6 million Filipinos and generated PHP 400 million in total premiums, providing the financial bedrock for RuralNet’s tech-driven ecosystem. CashKO has been expanding its network with 22 distribution partners through over 5,000 branches nationwide.

With a proven track record of handling life and accident claims efficiently, RuralNet's upcoming Q3 2026 calamity rollout will target the country's most vulnerable agricultural and rural sectors, shielding low-income households from the economic shocks of typhoons, flooding, and severe drought.

Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko opens its newest store at Gateway Mall, Cubao

 Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko has officially opened its newest store at Level 2 of Gateway Mall 1 in Cubao, Quezon City, bringing its wide range of home and lifestyle finds closer to one of Metro Manila's most vibrant and well-connected commercial hubs.

Spanning 1,455 square meters, the new store places Anko at the center of Araneta City, a major transit and lifestyle district where thousands of Filipinos pass through daily for work, school, shopping, and entertainment. With direct access to the MRT-3 and LRT-2 lines, as well as major bus and jeepney routes, the Cubao branch expands the brand’s accessibility for shoppers from across Metro Manila and nearby provinces.

“Cubao has always been a place of connection, where people pass through, meet, and discover. And that’s exactly where Anko wants to be: part of our customers’ everyday routines. At Anko, we are guided by a simple belief that everyone should have access to well-designed, quality products at everyday affordable prices,” said Anko Philippines Interim Country Manager Kimberly Mulligan.

Inside the store, shoppers can explore Anko’s signature range of homewares, kitchen essentials, beauty finds, travel accessories, stationery, and toys, all designed in Australia and offered at everyday affordable prices. The store layout was designed for ease and discovery, whether customers are picking up daily essentials or browsing simple lifestyle upgrades that make everyday living brighter.

The Cubao branch is Anko's sixth store in the Philippines and its first outside the Ayala Malls network, marking a natural expansion into Araneta City, known as the City of Firsts. Beyond its strategic location, the store was led and delivered fully by the local team, from the fixtures and visual merchandising to final styling. While global support for planning was provided remotely, no overseas team members traveled on-site, reflecting the local team's capabilities and leadership.

“This store is especially meaningful because it reflects the strength and capability of our local team. It is not just another store opening for Anko, but it’s a reflection of the incredible work our Filipino team can deliver and an important step in our continued growth in the Philippines,” said Anko Global Chief Executive Officer Arjun Puri.

The store opening was celebrated through a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Puri and Mulligan, who were joined by Anko Global Chief Retail Officer Lil Velis-Bowker, Anko Global Operations Manager Rachael Eames, Anko Gateway Store Manager Herald Quizon, Ayala Corporation Head of Strategy and Business Development Mark Uy, and Araneta City SVP of Leasing Ma. Lorna Fabian.

Anko, established in 2017 and part of the Kmart Group, launched its first store at Glorietta 2 in Makati City in November 2024. In just over a year, it has opened five stores across Metro Manila, including Ayala Malls TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and Ayala Malls Feliz. Anko is also expected to open stores in more non-Ayala malls.

With the opening of its Gateway Mall 1 store, Anko continues to bring its range of home and lifestyle essentials closer to Filipino homes, not only through physical stores, but also through the Anko Club, a membership program available via anko.com/anko-club, which offers exclusive updates, early access to new finds, and special perks designed for more rewarding everyday shopping.

Heartbreak over Friendship with a Snake

 

I've never really been good at making friends.

The truth is, I'm an introvert. The idea of walking up to someone, saying hello, introducing myself, and risking rejection has always been terrifying to me. What if they don't like me? What if I embarrass myself? What if they think I'm weird?

Thankfully, life had other plans.

Because of my work, I've learned how to become a professional extrovert. I can walk into a room full of strangers, network, host events, interview people, and carry conversations like I've known them forever. At this point, most people don't even believe me when I say I'm an introvert.

But here's the thing: being able to talk to people doesn't mean trusting them comes easily.

Over the years, I've learned a difficult lesson. Just because you're kind to people doesn't mean they'll be kind to you. Just because your intentions are good doesn't mean theirs are.

So I've become careful. Actually, scratch that. I've become very careful. I don't actively look for new friendships anymore. Not because I'm bitter, but because I've been burned enough times to know that not everyone who smiles at you deserves a seat at your table.

Besides, I already have my people. The ride-or-die friends. The ones who have seen me at my best, my worst, and every awkward phase in between. The ones who would show up at 2 a.m. if I needed them. The ones who don't need daily conversations to prove they care.

I wasn't looking for new friends.

But somehow, someone managed to sneak past the gates. She made an effort. She inserted herself into my life. She was friendly, attentive, and persistent enough that I eventually thought, "Maybe she's different."

Now, to be fair, several people warned me. My brother warned me. My friends warned me. You know when everyone around you gets a weird vibe from someone, but you convince yourself they're being unfair? That was me. I thought, "Maybe this time they're wrong."

Spoiler alert: they weren't.

As our friendship progressed, there were moments when she disrespected me. Little things. Annoying things. Red flags dressed up as misunderstandings. I let them go because that's what we do when we want to believe the best in people.

Then I found out she had been insinuating that I was a thief. Not jokingly. Not accidentally. Actually implying that I take things simply because I want them. That was the moment something snapped.

What hurt was the betrayal. The realization that someone I had welcomed into my life, defended, and trusted had been quietly creating a narrative about me behind my back.

That hurt. A lot.

I found myself wondering why people do things like this. Why befriend someone if you're secretly competing with them? Why stay close to someone if you're busy tearing them down? Why pretend? Why lie? 

Maybe she thought I was competition. Maybe she thought I wanted attention. Maybe she thought I wanted to be the main character. The funny thing is, anyone who knows me knows that's not true. Most days, I'd happily sit in a corner with a coffee, a notebook, and zero human interaction.

I eventually stopped trying to understand her. People like that aren't really a puzzle you need to solve. They're a lesson you need to learn.

I remembered something I've heard many times before: Hurt people hurt people. The things people say and do are often reflections of themselves, not reflections of you.

So to this so-called friend, thank you. Thank you for showing me who you are before I invested even more trust in you. Yes, you hurt me. Yes, I cried. Yes, I spent a day replaying everything in my head but I'm okay now.

The greatest gift a snake can give you is revealing itself before it gets close enough to bite again. You weren't a friend. You were simply a snake wearing sheep's clothing. Now that I know, I can keep my distance. I can close the gate. I can protect my peace. And most importantly, I can keep you out of my garden.

The flowers are doing just fine without you.

One Charge, Endless Power: realme Teases the C100 Series with Up to 8000mAh Titan Battery

realme Philippines is gearing up for the launch of the realme C100 Series on June 18, and ahead of the big reveal, the brand is giving a first look at what the lineup is all about. Anchored on the tagline “One Charge, Endless Power,” the C100 Series is built around two things Filipinos consistently look for in a smartphone: a battery that goes the distance and a build that holds up over time.

The realme C100 comes equipped with an 8000mAh Titan Battery, while the realme C100i carries a 7000mAh cell. Both are designed to deliver up to 1.5 days of use on a single charge, but what stands out is their long-term battery health – the realme C100 is rated to retain at least 80% capacity after 7 years of daily use, and the C100i after 6 years. The brand attributes this to its highly efficient energy consumption technology, which reduces battery wear over time without compromising on performance.

On the durability front, both models come with realme’s ArmorShell™ Protection and have been certified under the MIL-STD-810H military-grade shock resistance standard, with a verified drop resistance of up to 2 meters. The realme C100 takes protection further with IP69 Pro rating, making it resistant to dust, submersion, and even high-pressure water jets. The realme C100i is rated IP64, covering everyday splashes and dust exposure.

The Series also comes in a range of colorways. The realme C100 will be available in Glory White, Endurance Brown, and Victory Purple, all featuring realme’s Blooming Design, a shimmer finish crafted with micron-level sculpting that shifts with light. Meanwhile, the realme C100i comes in Dawn Purple and Dusk Gray.

The realme C100 Series will be officially unveiled on June 18 via a livestream on realme’s official Facebook page. Pricing and full details will be announced on launch day.

Lenovo Technology Powers FIFA World Cup 2026™ Operations and Strengthens AI-Driven Broadcast

Lenovo today announced it is delivering a near real-time AI-powered infrastructure platform for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ to enable ultra-low-latency IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) video distribution in addition to the traditional cable and satellite broadcast, intelligent content delivery, and mission-critical decision-making across the event ecosystem and operations.





As the world’s largest sporting event prepares for an unprecedented scale—spanning three host countries, featuring 48 teams, and engaging an estimated 6 billion fans—FIFA, broadcasters, and event operators will benefit from a live, always-on environment designed to perform at the highest level. As FIFA’s Official Technology Partner, Lenovo will deploy servers at the International Broadcast Center in Dallas, Texas, to help deliver the computing power, devices, and AI-driven solutions needed to bring every moment of every match to global audiences and support the most expansive broadcast operation in FIFA World Cup™ history. More than 17,000 Lenovo and Motorola devices and 200+ engineers deployed across venues and Team Base Camp training sites will help ensure professional execution.

Lenovo’s technology solutions have reduced latency within IPTV infrastructure for the global showpiece, with IPTV delays now under five seconds, enabling near real-time access to live match action and more synchronized viewing experiences. Lenovo ThinkSystem SR635 V3 servers and technology will help manage massive volumes of live video data coming in from stadiums across North America and power FIFA’s IPTV live feed by ingesting, processing, and distributing all match content in close to real-time via ten channels to over 1,000 screens throughout FIFA venues. Fans, media, VIPs and officials will quickly be able to access every match from anywhere within the event ecosystem, from fan zones to media tribunes.




An AI Nerve Center for the World’s Biggest Sporting Event

Beyond broadcast, Lenovo’s technology will be deployed at FIFA’s Technology Command Center in Miami and the Tournament Operation Center for the duration of FIFA World Cup 2026™. This hub serves as the central “mission control” for the World Cup, where all the technology powering the games is monitored and managed in near real-time by experienced engineers and FIFA management. With the help of Lenovo’s enterprise solutions, FIFA’s Technology Command Center and Tournament Operation Center will ensure tournament organizers are able to swiftly observe, and if needed, address operational matters across the tournament footprint.

“Lenovo’s AI infrastructure is redefining the FIFA World Cup experience, delivering near real-time highlights, multi-angle views, and insights at unprecedented global scale,” said Ashley Gorakhpurwalla, President of Infrastructure Solutions at Lenovo. “Together with FIFA, we are running AI under the world’s most demanding conditions—solving latency concerns and bringing billions of fans closer to the action than ever before, setting a new standard for live sports.”

“The FIFA World Cup is one of the largest and most complex sporting event in the world,” said Nacho Fresco, Director of Technology at FIFA. “With this edition set to be the biggest in history, delivering exceptional operational efficiency and cutting-edge technology is critical. Lenovo is a key partner in helping us meet the stringent low-latency requirements essential for live production environments.”



Powering the World’s Biggest Stage

FIFA World Cup 2026™ showcases the real-world AI advancements Lenovo is making possible. Lenovo will manage complex on-premise edge computing, significantly reducing latency, where cloud-only solutions failed to meet broadcast requirements. During the World Cup, technologies powered by Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, engineered for high-density, mission critical environments requiring massive throughput, and near real-time operational performance will support:

Near real-time monitoring of stadium and tournament wide tech systems Live broadcast, streaming, and IPTV delivery Rapid incident detection and issue resolution to minimize disruption and downtime Enhancing the Fan Experience with Real-Time Insight and Transparency

Lenovo is enabling a more immersive and understandable viewing experience through AI-driven innovations. AI-enabled 3D player avatars provide clearer, real-time visualization of complex decisions such as offside calls. Built using advanced GenAI and real-world player data, these avatars are designed to help fans better understand the game as it happens. These avatars will also be an additional value input to support FIFA’s Match Officials in their offside decision-making during matches.

To improve the in-venue experience across three countries, Lenovo is deploying solutions designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and engagement:

AI-driven navigation systems reduce congestion and improve movement across venues. AI-driven stabilized “Referee Views” deliver first-person perspectives with up to 50% less motion distortion. Immersive digital and holographic experiences create new ways for fans to engage with the game.

Leveling the Playing Field Through Smarter Football for All

Lenovo is actively transforming the sports industry and remains committed to democratizing football through its “Smarter AI for All” vision. With the FIFA World Cup 2026™, Lenovo will deploy the FIFA AI Pro platform, a next-generation AI-powered knowledge assistant delivering tactical insights to coaches, players, and analysts. Built using Lenovo’s AI Factory, the platform will be provided to all 48 teams competing in the tournament, democratizing access to elite-level analytics and helping level the competitive playing field.

Bringing the Tournament Home with Special Edition Collections

For fans of the game, Lenovo is offering a unique way to showcase their passion through a collection of FIFA Special Edition devices across its commercial, consumer, and gaming portfolios. Featuring exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026™ branding and packaging, the lineup includes the motorola razr FIFA World Cup 26th Edition, ThinkPad X9-14 Gen 1, ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 and 14, Yoga Slim 7i ultra Aura Edition (14”, 11), Idea Tab, and the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i (16”, 10). These limited-edition models allow fans to carry a piece of the world’s largest sporting event with them, long after the final whistle.

The scale and complexity of these operations reflect Lenovo’s broader investment in sports technology. In March, Lenovo launched a dedicated sports vertical designed to support organizations operating live, global, and mission-critical environments. By integrating AI infrastructure, edge computing, devices, and services into a unified model, Lenovo is enabling sports organizations to move from fragmented systems to real-time, end-to-end operational control.
