The HONOR Magic V5 Sets a New Foldable Standard

Leading smart devices provider HONOR Philippines is gearing up for the arrival of its newest and thinnest foldable phone – the HONOR Magic V5! Coming this September 5, HONOR Magic V5 sports the biggest battery out of all its counterparts in the market to date. Catch the launch live on Facebook: https://bit.ly/MagicV5Launch_FB. 

“To complement its cutting-edge battery technology, the HONOR Magic V5 supports 66W Wired charging versus other brands’ 25W – offering fast and versatile charging solutions to keep users powered up throughout the day. It also comes with a durable phone case and charger which competitors don’t have,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng. 

Do more with HONOR Magic V5, literally

A key enabler of the HONOR Magic V5’s ultra-slim design is its advanced silicon-carbon battery, the thinnest and ultra high-capacity battery ever used in a foldable. At just 2.3mm thick, it incorporates silicon-based anodes, theoretically offering up to 10 times the lithium-ion storage capacity of traditional graphite anodes. This increased energy density allows for a smaller battery without sacrificing battery life.  

These innovations result in a compact yet powerful 5820mAh dual-battery system, occupying around 26% of the device’s internal volume. This battery, combined with other optimizations in the hinge, display, camera, and motherboard, enables HONOR to achieve a foldable that’s not only thinner but also more durable and robust than ever before.

realme 15 Series 5G Ushers in a Slim, Stylish New Era This September

 Live For Real: realme 15 Series 5G Teases a Slim New Era Ahead of September Launch

The latest Number Series proves that you don’t have to choose between sleek design and all-

out power

realme is gearing up to launch the newest addition to its Number Series lineup, the realme 15

Series 5G, and this year’s models lean into a design philosophy that’s both stylish and

remarkably slim. Carrying a Powerful Yet Slim design, the realme 15 Series 5G is built for fans

looking for a lightweight smartphone that delivers flagship-level performance.

Slim Design, Flagship Power

The realme 15 Pro 5G measures just 7.79mm thin at 187g, while the realme 15 5G comes in at

7.66mm thin and 185g. Both models are designed for all-day comfort, making them effortless to

hold during long calls, binge-watching sessions, or extended gaming sessions. The slim design

also makes them easy to slip into one’s pocket or bag without adding bulk, all while retaining a

Power that Goes the Distance

Despite its slim build, the realme 15 Series 5G packs flagship power under the hood:

● The realme 15 Pro 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, offering

between speed and energy efficiency, extending battery life while delivering smooth

gameplay, seamless video streaming, and effortless handling of demanding tasks.

Stunning Visuals and Durable Build

Both models feature 144Hz AMOLED Display – a curved screen on the realme 15 Pro 5G and a

flat display on the realme 15 5G – providing immersive visuals, true-to-life colors, and ultra-

smooth scrolling. Whether it’s competitive gaming or cinematic viewing, the experience feels

seamless and engaging. Additionally, the phones are protected by a glass, which adds durability

without compromising on slimness.

To complete the look, the realme 15 Pro 5G is available in Flowing Silver and Velvet Green,

while the realme 15 5G comes in Suit Titanium and Silk Pink, giving fans a choice that matches

both performance needs and personal style.

Bell-Kenz Pharma Launches Sagip CPR Program to Combat High Heart Disease Fatalities

Filipino pharmaceutical company Bell-Kenz Pharma has recently launched Sagip CPR, a nationwide campaign that provides free hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to Filipinos. The program seeks to equip 1 million people within a year with the knowledge and confidence to act during cardiac emergencies—making CPR a life skill every Filipino can rely on.

Bell-Kenz formally launched Sagip CPR on August 14, 2025 at PHINMA Cagayan de Oro College, in partnership with the Philippine Heart Association Northwestern Mindanao, PHINMA Cagayan de Oro College, Cagayan de Oro City Police Office, City Scholars Association in PHINMA COC, and CDO Disaster Risk Reduction Management Department. More than 500 students, police personnel, and volunteers were trained on the Check–Call–Compress method and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the Philippines, claiming an average of 317 lives every day, according to the Department of Health. Nearly half of these cases are caused by Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA), where survival depends on immediate CPR to be performed within the first 4 to 6 minutes. However, only 2 in 10 Filipinos know how to perform it.

“With 8 out of 10 cardiac arrests happening at home, survival often depends on family members knowing CPR,” said Dr. James Cayetano, Cardiologist and President of the Bell-Kenz Foundation. “Through Sagip CPR, Bell-Kenz is one with the government in making CPR second nature for every Filipino.”

 

Sagip CPR Kickoff in Cagayan de Oro

Bell-Kenz formally launched Sagip CPR on August 14, 2025 at PHINMA Cagayan de Oro College, in partnership with the Philippine Heart Association Northwestern Mindanao, PHINMA Cagayan de Oro College, Cagayan de Oro City Police Office, City Scholars Association in PHINMA COC, and CDO Disaster Risk Reduction Management Department. More than 500 students, police personnel, and volunteers were trained on the Check–Call–Compress method and the use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

“Bell-Kenz’s Sagip CPR is a big help, because it extends training to people who are not reached by agencies such as the Philippine Heart Association, Philippine Red Cross, and the Department of Health,” Dr. Francis Lavapie, Cardiologist and Past Chair for PHA Council on CPR, echoes. “We have taught many people, and many are already teaching CPR, but still, it’s not enough — not everyone is reached,” says Dr. Francis Lavapie.

Filling Critical Gaps and Creating A Nation of Everyday Heroes

While Republic Act 10871, or the Samboy Lim Law, requires schools to provide CPR training, many young Filipinos have yet to receive it. Sagip CPR bridges this gap, ensuring that knowledge of CPR spreads not just in classrooms, but across homes, barangays, and civic groups.

Aligned with Proclamation No. 511 declaring July 17 as National CPR Day, Sagip CPR is more than a health campaign—it is a call to action. By training 1 million Filipinos in CPR, Bell-Kenz Pharma envisions a network of everyday heroes ready to save lives when it matters most.

“By equipping 1 million people with hands-only CPR training, we are building a country where help is never more than a few steps away,” Dr. Cayetano added.

Sagip CPR will be rolled out to schools, barangays, and civic groups across the country for a whole year, until it reaches 1 Million CPR-Ready Filipinos trained— steadily building a nationwide network of “everyday heroes” who are ready to act in a crisis.

Sustainable by Design: GROHE Grows Its Cradle to Cradle Certified® Lineup

In a 2021 research shared by the Circularity Gap Report, about 100 billion tons of raw materials are being extracted for use in the building and construction sectors, making these industries the largest waste streams by quantity. As the world continues to deal with climate change, these sectors as well as policy makers are challenged to provide innovative and sustainable solutions to reduce and manage its waste.

 

One of these solutions is the Cradle to Cradle^®(C2C) design concept that GROHE, a leading global brand for complete bathroom solutions and kitchen fittings, has been applying in its product portfolio for many years. 

 

The Cradle to Cradle^® design follows the circular economy concept which keeps materials in a “useful loop” – old products are not wasted and instead its materials and components are once again reused and repurposed. Products that are Cradle to Cradle Certified® are assessed for the safety, circularity and responsibility of materials and products across five categories of sustainability performance: Material Health, Recyclability, Renewable Energy, Water Efficiency, and Social Responsibility.

 

With its unwavering commitment to sustainability, GROHE has expanded its Cradle to Cradle Certified^®  product portfolio with a new range of Gold level products: BauEdge S-Size, EurosmartS-Size, Eurosmart Kitchen, and the Tempestashower rail set. 

 

Gold certification is more demanding where the chemical composition of the materials used contains only the purest materials.

 

In 2021, GROHE launched two Cradle to Cradle Certified^® Bronze level products: The Tempestatwo-spray hand shower and the GROHE Blue filters.

 

The Bronze certification focuses on products whose regular configuration does not require any adaptations or substitutions of components.  

 

For its certification process, GROHE worked together with accredited assessor EPEA GmbH – part of Drees & Sommer, based in Hamburg. A recertification is required every two years.  

 

With six products that are now Cradle to Cradle Certified^®, GROHE is undoubtedly in the right step towards reducing waste in the building sector, and the brand will continue to do so in the years to come.
