Bring Westeros Home for the House of the Dragon Season 3 Premiere

 Transform your living room into Westeros with PLDT Home Fiber Unli All Plan 2499, which comes with an HBO Max standard subscription for your home entertainment among other inclusions!

 

The battle for the Iron Throne has never been more intense. With House of the Dragon Season three promising to deliver more jaw-dropping drama and dragon action, fans across the country are back at it – gathering every week to witness the fate of Westeros.

 

Whether you’re firmly Team Black or Team Green, or just here for the absolute chaos of legendary dragons, watching the drama unfold deserves a proper ritual. You can’t just passively scroll through your phone while the Targaryens tear their family apart; you need a fully immersive setup.

 

Ready to host a viewing session for your family and friends – or just to treat yourself to a cinematic solo binge? Make it epic with the ultimate House of the Dragon watch-party checklist we’ve put together here!

 

1. Keep Fire & Blood close by

Keeping track of shifting alliances, royal bloodlines, and dragon lore with a copy of George R.R. Martin’s Fire & Blood displayed on your coffee table – a conversation starter as much as it is the ultimate companion for every episode.

 

2. Indulge in an inspired feast

You can’t summon the strength of a dragon rider on an empty stomach. Skip the usual chips and dip for a themed menu that feels fit for a Red Keep banquet. Try "Dragon’s Breath" chicken wings, which are spicy, glazed chicken wings that bring the heat. Or what about ordering charcoal-crust pizzas to give that freshly blasted-by-Balerion look?

 

For drinks, try concocting a Steel Elixir, which would be a deep red berry mocktail or a smoky dark roast iced coffee served in pewter mugs or chalices.

 

3. Set the mood with ambient lighting

Use smart LED light strips set to deep crimson or green, depending on who you are rooting for. Light some amber or cedar-scented candles to get that rustic, inspired aroma going.

4. Collect House of the Dragon figures

Prove your superfan status by adorning your living spaces with Funko Pop! figures of your favorite House of the Dragon characters. It’s a great way to keep the vibe going before the episodes start streaming and long after the end credits roll.

m360 Launches 'Digital for Good' Program in Naic, Cavite

 Globe Telecom unit m360, in partnership with the Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement (PRRM) and World Surgical Foundation Philippines (WSFP), kicked off its Digital for Good: From Farm to Chat initiative in Naic, Cavite as part of its mission to boost the livelihood of farmers and fisherfolk through digital literacy workshops and health care support.

 

Consisting of a digital skills training session and free minor surgeries, the Digital for Good: From Farm to Chat community outreach day started with a half-day workshop facilitated by m360 volunteers covering four practical topics: digital product catalogue creation, order-taking via messaging, digital promotion, and basic digital safety. 

 

m360 tapped WSFP to conduct the medical mission portion of the community outreach day. Up to 150 patients were pre-screened by WSFP for the minor surgical care that took place in the afternoon.

"Rural farming and fishing communities face two compounding barriers - limited digital access and untreated health conditions - that hold them back from fully participating in the economy. Removing both barriers will help create real and lasting change. Our mission is to enable every Filipino community to connect, communicate, and grow," said Ramon ‘Mon’ Hirang, m360 President and CEO.

 

Mr. Hirang, m360 President and CEO speaks with Naic Cavite farmers and fisherfolks

 

"At m360, we believe that how we work matters as much as what we build. We are committed to using our platform not just as a business tool, but as a force for genuine social good," he added.

 

 

Narrowing the digital divide one community workshop at a time

 

During the digital literacy workshop, m360 volunteers showed participants how to use their cellphones to sell, promote, and protect their livelihoods.

 

The workshop consisted of three main topics - Ibenta Mo Online, Kumita sa Chat, and Huwag Matakot sa Internet.  To help participants reach a wider market for their products online, volunteers demonstrated how to take a good product photo using their cellphones, write a simple description, and how to share via chat or Facebook. m360 volunteers likewise showed participants how to use Viber or SMS to take orders, confirm payments, and follow up with buyers. Simple scripts and sample conversations were included. 

 

The discussions also touched on spotting fake buyers, the need to confirm payments before releasing goods, and adopting simple practices that will help ensure safe and secure online selling and transactions. 

 

 

Collaborating for good

 

 

Mr. Hirang said the Naic outreach marks the start of a broader rollout of Digital for Good activities across the Philippines. More communities in Luzon and beyond are expected to benefit from the program in the coming months

 

m360 is a Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) provider under Brave Connective Holdings, Inc., a Globe Telecom portfolio company. The enterprise helps businesses connect with their customers through SMS, Viber, WhatsApp, and other messaging channels - enabling real-time, scalable, and meaningful communication across industries. Digital for Good is m360's corporate social responsibility initiative – a long-term commitment to bridge the digital divide in underserved Filipino communities by leveraging its CPaaS expertise to create meaningful connections where they are needed most. Its goal is to make every business a digital business.

 

PRRM is the oldest and largest non-government organization (NGO) network in the Philippines, with over 70 years of grassroots community development experience and international affiliations including the United Nations. PRRM connects m360 directly to farming and fishing cooperatives, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and families across Luzon and beyond. 

 

“m360’s Digital for Good program will make a big difference to rural communities and help farmers and fisher folk keep up and adapt to the digital world,” said Ed Dela Torre, President & Vice Chairperson, PRRM. 

 

Registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), WSFP is a non-profit foundation committed to providing free, accessible, and sustainable surgical healthcare to marginalized Filipino communities. Its volunteers include licensed surgeons, nurses and medical staff with the capacity to serve up to 150 patients per outreach mission. 

 

"With our Surgical Outreach Program, we try to help address the surgical backlog in our country by providing treatments to indigent patients in underserved communities. Through this partnership with m360, our volunteer medical team will be able to reach out and provide life changing treatments to more vulnerable Filipinos," said Dr. Lester Suntay, President & Co-Founder

TCL Showcases T-AI Inverter Technology and Smart VRF Solutions at PHILCONSTRUCT 2026

 TCL, the global leader in television and air conditioning technology, recently showcased its latest commercial HVAC innovations at PHILCONSTRUCT 2026 held last June 25 to 28 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

Watsons Philippines Partners with Diabetes Philippines to Promote Early Diabetes Detection

 Leading health, wellness, and beauty retailer Watsons Philippines continues to champion accessible healthcare through meaningful partnerships that empower Filipinos to take charge of their health.

 

With diabetes remaining one of the country's most pressing health concerns, affecting millions of Filipinos and often going undetected until serious complications arise, the need for accessible screening, education, and early intervention has never been more critical. Recognizing this challenge, Watsons has been working alongside Diabetes Philippines Inc. to bring preventive healthcare closer to communities nationwide.

Watsons Philippines and Diabetes Philippines underscore their organizations' shared commitment to expanding preventive healthcare services and strengthening diabetes awareness across the country through the STOP Diabetes Program. (L–R) Jayvee Creus, Senior Category Manager for Health Business; Anna Katrina Nuñez, Marketing Supervisor for Health; Dr. Fatma Tiu, President of Diabetes Philippines Inc.; Darcy Co, Group Category Manager for Health Business; PJ Gaffud, Category Manager for Health Business

 

Since the partnership began, they have worked together to bridge healthcare gaps through education, awareness, and community-based health services. Anchored in their shared goal of preventing and managing diabetes, the collaboration has grown into a comprehensive program that combines screening, patient education, and professional healthcare support.

 

A key milestone of the partnership was the launch of the Diabetes Educator Program, which equipped Watsons pharmacists with specialized training to provide patients with reliable information and support on diabetes prevention and management. Building on this initiative, Watsons and Diabetes Philippines expanded their efforts through the STOP Diabetes Program, which offers free diabetes screening, health assessments, and consultations at selected Watsons stores nationwide. By bringing these services closer to communities, the program helps individuals identify potential health risks early and take informed steps toward better health before complications arise.

 

The program's impact continues to grow. From April to May 2026 alone, nearly 5,000 individuals were screened for diabetes, hypertension, and overweight or obesity through the initiative. Alarmingly, nearly 70% of those screened had at least one health risk factor or condition, underscoring the critical need for accessible health screening and preventive care programs to support early detection and timely intervention.

 

"Through our partnership with Diabetes Philippines, we have been able to bring free clinic services closer to communities, making diabetes screening, medical consultations, and health support more accessible to Filipinos. At Watsons, we believe healthcare should be convenient and accessible for everyone, and this collaboration is helping turn that vision into reality by empowering more people to take proactive steps toward better health. We are proud of what we have accomplished together and look forward to expanding our impact in more communities across the country," said Danilo Chiong, Managing Director of  Watsons Philippines.

 

"This collaboration has helped expand access to screening, education, and preventive healthcare services, enabling more Filipinos to take proactive steps toward better health. We are grateful to Watsons Philippines, our healthcare workers, volunteers, and Diabetes Philippines chapters for their unwavering support. Together, we remain committed to stopping diabetes before it starts and building healthier communities nationwide.", added Dr. Fatma Tiu, President of Diabetes Philippines, Inc. 

 

Dr. Fatma Tiu, President of Diabetes Philippines Inc., expresses gratitude to Watsons Philippines, healthcare workers, volunteers, and Diabetes Philippines chapters for their continued support in expanding access to diabetes screening, health education, and preventive care for communities nationwide.

 

Watsons was recently recognized by Diabetes Philippines Inc. for its valuable partnership and steadfast support of the STOP (Screen, Treat, Optimize, Promote) Diabetes Program.

 

Looking ahead, Watsons Philippines will continue to strengthen its partnership with Diabetes Philippines to expand access to preventive healthcare services in more communities nationwide. With the success of their initiatives, Watsons aims to reach more Filipinos so they can make informed health decisions and take action before health risks develop into more serious conditions.
