Canon Launches Creator Camp and Campus Tour at Creator Experience Day

Canon Philippines brings together the country’s growing creator community for Creator Experience Day, a hands-on launch event on July 16, 2026 in Mandaluyong City. Built around the theme One Canon. Many Stories., the event marks the official launch of two new initiatives, Canon Creator Camp and the Canon Campus Tour, both designed to support Filipino creators from passion to profession.


As a total imaging brand, Canon places two of its newest creator tools at the center of the experience. The Canon EOS R6 V, a hybrid camera built for content creation, features a 32.5-megapixel sensor, open-gate recording, and active cooling for longer shoots. The Canon PIXMA MegaTank printers deliver versatile printing with ink- and paper-saving technology, wireless printing, smart app connectivity, and touchscreen displays, making them well suited to schools, homes, studios, and offices. Both are open for guests to try firsthand across the event’s experience zones.

The event also introduces two programs that carry Canon’s support beyond a single day. The Canon Campus Tour brings the brand’s creator tools, hands-on product experiences, and learning sessions directly to schools and campuses across the country, giving students and aspiring creators the chance to explore Canon gear closer to home. Canon Creator Camp complements it with community-driven sessions that help creators sharpen their craft and grow their creative pursuits.


Bringing these tools to life, a panel of four Filipino creators shares how Canon fits into their work. Creators and filmmakers Karl Patacsil and Magic Liwanag explore the capabilities of the Canon EOS R6 V and the craft of visual storytelling, while host and educator Nicole Shane Gonzales and digital illustrator James ‘Squeegool’ Claridades share how the Canon PIXMA MegaTank printers support their creative and everyday output. Alongside the talks, fireside discussions, interactive zones, networking, and raffle prizes give the community more ways to connect, create, and share their work across photo, video, and print.

Creator Experience Day marks one chapter in a larger story. Canon continues to roll out more creator activations that empower Filipino creatives, students, and storytellers nationwide, bringing its tools and community closer to everyone with a story to tell.

Anko’s new Home collection brings global trends at affordable prices

Ready for a home glow-up? Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko brings the internet’s most viral trends straight into Filipino homes with its fresh, new Home collection. From standout decor accents to household essentials and modular, versatile pieces, this lineup proves you can add color and personality to your dream space all at affordable prices.

The collection officially arrives in stores at TriNoma, Glorietta 2, Alabang Town Center, Ayala Malls Feliz, Ayala Malls Manila Bay, and Gateway Mall 1 starting Friday, July 30, with some products already available in stores.

Thoughtfully curated by Anko’s in-house design and buying team in Melbourne, the collection taps straight into a global obsession with crafting homes that feel alive, expressive, and deeply personal. Designed for real homes, real budgets, and real lifestyles, the collection is built to layer into a setup you already have, making it easy to refresh rather than replace, and proving you don’t have to spend more to make a space feel like truly yours.

“We’re seeing homeowners want two things at once — spaces that feel personal, and spaces that feel calm,” said Siri Thanissorn, Anko Living Home Design Manager. “This collection brings both to life through warm colors, layered textures, and soft, sculptural forms, and because a beautiful home isn’t about spending more, every piece is designed to be useful, easy to style, and easy to afford.”

The Home collection centers on three big trends across the home:

image.png

Playful Pattern Layering: Bold stripes, whimsical gingham patterns, and vibrant pops of color are breaking out of fashion closets and onto quilts, cushions, and statement decor. It’s an effortless way to instantly energize your space, especially in condo layouts where a little pattern goes a long way toward making rooms feel bigger and brighter.

Pieces such as the Blue Stripe Dinner Plates or Bowls  (₱90), Bow Cushions in Blue, Mocha and Pesto (₱400), and Pink Stripe Box (₱400) make it simple to experiment and add personality to your spaces.

"Playful pattern layering is about having the freedom to mix colours and prints in a way that feels natural. We wanted to create a collection that makes those trends accessible through well-designed products at everyday affordable prices,” she said.

Return of Warm Tones: Moving past the cool minimalism trend, chocolate brown returns as a modern neutral, effortlessly softened with sage greens and blush pinks. It’s an irresistible, comforting palette that makes any room feel instantly cozy.

“Rich, earthy tones like chocolate brown and soft greens bring an instant sense of calm indoors,” she highlighted. “They act as a visual cooling effect against the Manila heat, making your home feel like a breezy, serene oasis the second you step inside.”

Think of sinking into Mocha and Pesto Bow Cushions (₱400) for a lazy afternoon tea, a quiet journaling session, or a much-needed post-work power nap. Pair it with other range highlights like the Rustica Dinner Plates and Bowls (₱200), and the Chevron Bath Towels (₱495) to complete the look.

Quiet Luxury: For those drawn to a more refined, upscale aesthetic, the collection explores quiet luxury through marble-inspired finishes, sculptural ceramics, and softly curved silhouettes. This look brings a welcome sense of openness and breathing room to modern Filipino homes.

"True luxury is about the feeling a beautifully crafted piece brings to your space," Siri added. "By layering soft curves with organic, tactile materials like marble and ceramic, anyone can easily create a sophisticated sanctuary right at home." 

Pieces such as the Green Twist Edge Decor Tray (₱450), Textured Wavy Ceramic Vase (₱650), Amber Woods Ribbed Glass Candle (₱350)Chrome Amiri Lamp (₱790), and Goldie Rechargeable Wall Sconce (₱1,500) bring elevated style without the designer price tag.

image.png

The range also extends to the kitchen and dining area with everyday essentials that are as stylish as they are functional. Level up your food prep and weekend gatherings with the Mini Frypans (₱390), Pink Mesh Basket (₱350), Potato Chip, Heart Cake, French Fries and Pancake Candles (₱580), and the viral favorite Fruit and Flower Mugs (start at ₱200) that have already sent Anko back to restock shelves.

image.png

Affordable Finds for the Home Refresh: Small, budget-friendly updates go a long way, and this collection makes it easy to do exactly that for ₱300 pesos.

"You don't have to spend more to add personality to your home," said Siri. "Each piece is intentionally designed to layer effortlessly into existing spaces, making it easy for customers to refresh rather than replace."

Shoppers can bring new life to any space with the Linear Creates, 4 Pack Fruit Napkins, and Succulent in Wavy Pot, all at ₱300.

Anko’s new Home collection is a celebration of small, intentional choices. A pop of pattern here, a warm hue there, or a sculptural centerpiece can completely revive a space and make your days brighter. For first access to new arrivals, styling inspiration, and exclusive perks, download the Anko Club app today and follow @anko_philippines on Instagram and TikTok.

As Pet Wellness Takes Center Stage, Proactive Nutrition Is Emerging as a Key Priority





The questions pet parents are asking have changed. A few years ago, many focused primarily on flavor, convenience, or price. Today, they're looking more closely at ingredient quality, digestive health, and how nutrition supports their pets through every life stage.

As more Filipinos treat pets as family, they're applying the same wellness mindset they use for themselves to their pets' nutrition—viewing food not just as daily sustenance, but as an investment in long-term health and wellbeing.

"Pet parents today are asking more thoughtful questions. They're no longer just asking what's popular," said Romy Sia, Managing Director of Bow & Wow Philippines. "They want to understand where ingredients come from, how they're formulated, and how they support their pet's health throughout every stage of life. We're seeing a clear shift from simply feeding pets to nourishing them for lifelong wellness."

This reflects a broader consumer shift toward preventive health. Euromonitor identifies 'Wellness Pragmatists' as a key trend shaping purchasing decisions, with consumers increasingly prioritizing long-term wellbeing. At Bow & Wow, one of the country's leading specialty pet retailers with seven stores across Metro Manila, Laguna, and Cebu, this is reflected in the double-digit growth of functional nutrition products supporting digestive health, immunity, mobility, and healthy aging.

From Growing Pet Ownership to Smarter Nutrition Choices



The Philippine pet care market is evolving alongside changing consumer preferences. Euromonitor estimates that 48.3% of Filipino households owned a dog or cat in 2025—equivalent to 14.2 million pet-owning households, up from 11.9 million in 2021. At the same time, the Philippine dog food market grew by 10% in retail value in 2026, driven by rising demand for premium, functional, high-protein, and veterinarian-formulated diets.

As pet parents become more informed about nutrition, they're looking beyond attractive packaging and marketing claims to evaluate ingredients, nutritional philosophy, sourcing, and manufacturing practices. In response, retailers like Bow & Wow are curating products that meet these evolving expectations.

Before reaching store shelves, every product undergoes a rigorous evaluation based on ingredient integrity, nutritional formulation, sourcing, and manufacturing standards. Brands are expected to meet internationally recognized benchmarks, including Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and AAFCO nutritional guidelines, alongside Bow & Wow's own ingredient criteria.

This commitment is reflected in its curated portfolio of globally recognized brands, including Schesir, Open Farm, Natural Balance, and Health Extension, offering science-backed nutrition tailored to support pets at every life stage.

Why expert guidance matters

Even with better products on the shelf, finding the right nutrition isn’t always straightforward. Many owners are discovering that choosing the right diet ultimately depends on each pet's individual needs shaped by factors such as age, breed, lifestyle, and health concerns. As more pet parents take a proactive approach to wellness, many are seeking expert guidance to make informed nutrition choices.

To support this need, Bow & Wow launched its Nutrition Consultation Service at Bow & Wow Robinsons Magnolia. Exclusive to members, the complimentary service provides personalized nutrition guidance tailored to each pet’s specific needs.

“As pet parents become more proactive about their pets’ health, access to the right guidance is just as important as access to quality nutrition,” said Romy Sia, Managing Director of Bow & Wow Philippines. “Our goal is to help them better understand their pets’ needs so they can make informed choices for healthier, happier lives.”

From digestive concerns and food sensitivities to weight management, picky eating, and life-stage nutrition, the consultations help pet parents support their companions’ overall wellness. Appointments may be booked through participating Metro Manila stores, with walk-ins accommodated when slots are available.

As preventive wellness continues to shape pet care, Bow & Wow goes beyond offering premium products by helping pet parents navigate nutrition through carefully curated brands, rigorous standards, and expert guidance. By combining science-backed nutrition with education and support, Bow & Wow empowers Filipino pet parents to make confident choices for their pets’ long-term health—one bowl at a time.

CASIO Philippines expands local lineup with G-SHOCK “Bold Camo” Series

CASIO Philippines is expanding its local lineup this August with two highly anticipated releases: the G-SHOCK Bold Camo Series and the CASIO x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Limited-Edition Ring Watch, both showcasing the brand’s continued evolution at the intersection of durability, design, and self-expression.

Launching on August 1 is the G-SHOCK Bold Camo Series, which reimagines the DW-6900, GA-700, and GA-V01 models with matte camouflage finishes accented by radiant gold dials. The collection features an exclusive camouflage pattern that subtly conceals G-SHOCK's signature “G” mark, giving each timepiece a distinctive streetwear-inspired identity while preserving the toughness and reliability that have made G-SHOCK one of the brand's most recognizable collections.

The new series offers a fresh interpretation of G-SHOCK’s signature designs by combining rugged performance with modern streetwear-inspired aesthetics. While introducing a bold new visual identity, the collection stays true to the durability and functionality that have made G-SHOCK a favorite among watch enthusiasts and everyday wearers alike.

Designed for daily wear, the Bold Camo Series pairs rugged performance with contemporary style, offering a fresh interpretation of classic G-SHOCK designs for consumers who value both durability and personal style.


The series comes with a lineup of six bold models, including the GM-6900CMG-3 (₱18,480), DW-6900CMG-3 (₱8,140), GA-700CMG-3A (₱9,610), GA-700CF-1A (₱9,060), DW-6900CF-1 (₱7,770), and GA-V01CMG-3A (₱12,570).

To celebrate the launch, customers who purchase any watch from the G-SHOCK Bold Camo Series will receive a limited-edition pouch bag, available while supplies last.

Now available online and in-stores, the CASIO x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Limited-Edition Ring Watch (₱13,310) marks the second collaboration between CASIO and global music superstar J Balvin. Reimagining the brand's iconic digital watch as a wearable finger ring, the limited-edition piece blends fashion-forward design with everyday functionality. Finished in a textured gold-tone brick pattern with refined rhinestone accents, it retains signature CASIO features, including dual time, stopwatch, auto calendar, and LED backlight.



Blending CASIO's heritage in digital timekeeping with J Balvin's distinctive creative vision, the collaboration transforms one of the brand's most recognizable watch designs into an unexpected collectible. The release reflects the growing intersection of fashion, music, and culture while preserving the practical functionality that has long defined CASIO timepieces.


The collaboration reflects the shared commitment of CASIO and J Balvin to creativity and self-expression, bringing together music, fashion, and contemporary design in a collectible timepiece that reimagines one of the brand's most recognizable products.


“CASIO has always understood my vision when it comes to creativity and self-expression,” said J Balvin. “The first collaboration was personal and expressive, and with this release, we wanted to push even further by designing something that felt unexpected and instantly iconic. The ring watch blends music, fashion, and culture in a way that feels authentic to who I am and how I express myself.”


Although distinct in design, the two releases share a common theme of bold self-expression. The G-SHOCK Bold Camo Series refreshes some of CASIO's most enduring designs with a contemporary streetwear aesthetic, while the CASIO x J Balvin Ring Watch transforms one of the brand’s most recognizable digital timepieces into a collectible fashion accessory.


The G-SHOCK Bold Camo Series launches on August 1, 2026, while the CASIO x J Balvin CRW001JB-9 Limited-Edition Ring Watch will arrive later in August. Both collections will be available through authorized Casio retailers nationwide, G-SHOCK stores, and Casio online.
