QUEZON CITY, Philippines — Mold Manila spotlights Mold Plasma Lift for clients who want visible lift and tightening—without incisions or general anesthesia. Powered by precision plasma energy, this treatment contracts lax skin and stimulates collagen remodeling to improve elasticity, diminish fine lines, and address sagging across the face and body.

Plasma Lift creates controlled micro-plasma arcs on the skin’s surface, producing pinpoint thermal contraction while triggering a natural healing response. The result is immediate tissue tightening followed by progressive improvement over several weeks as new collagen forms. This mechanism makes Plasma Lift a compelling non-surgical alternative to blepharoplasty for suitable candidates with mild to moderate eyelid laxity—while also effectively targeting other areas of concern.

Common treatment areas include:

• Eyelids and undereyes (crepiness, hooding, crow’s feet)

• Perioral region (smoker’s lines, lip border)

• Neck and jawline (laxity, fine lines)

• Body zones with crepey or stretched skin (abdomen, arms, knees)

• The appearance of stretch marks

What to expect:

• In-clinic procedure with topical numbing for comfort

• Initial tightening visible immediately; continued improvement over 6–12 weeks

• Typical course of 1–3 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, tailored to goals and skin quality

• Short downtime: transient swelling and redness, followed by tiny carbon crusts that shed naturally within about a week

While Plasma Lift can meaningfully tighten and contract excess lax skin, it is best suited to clients seeking a non-surgical route with minimal downtime and natural-looking results. For significant skin excess or prominent fat pads, surgical blepharoplasty may remain the gold standard; Mold Manila provides candid guidance to help clients choose the right pathway based on anatomy, expectations, and lifestyle.

Safety and suitability are central to our protocol. During consultation, Mold Manila evaluates skin type, medical history, and treatment goals to individualize settings and reduce risks such as temporary pigmentation shifts. Pre- and post-care instructions are provided to optimize healing, support even results, and maintain skin health.

With this reintroduction, Mold Manila underscores its commitment to evidence-informed, minimally invasive rejuvenation. Mold Plasma Lift expands options for those who want tighter, smoother, more resilient skin—on the eyelids and beyond—without the tradeoffs of surgery.

To determine candidacy or plan a personalized treatment series, contact Mold Manila in Quezon City for a professional assessment. Results and recovery times vary by individual.

The company said its latest optimization focuses on smarter order matching, faster dispatch logic, and more efficient fleet coordination. Through the upgraded system, Carziqo aims to ensure that available vehicles are assigned to suitable service requests more quickly, reducing idle time and allowing each vehicle to participate in more revenue-generating trips throughout the day.

According to Carziqo, the new allocation model analyzes multiple operational factors, including vehicle availability, service area demand, route efficiency, order priority, and real-time platform activity. By coordinating these factors through its intelligent operating system, the company believes that vehicles can be deployed more strategically, helping users capture more earning opportunities while improving the overall service experience for riders and business clients.

“The future of mobility is not only about autonomous driving. It is also about intelligent operations,” a Carziqo spokesperson said. “A vehicle that waits too long for an order is an underused asset. Through optimized order allocation, Carziqo wants to help every qualified vehicle work more efficiently and create stronger value for users.”

The company noted that order distribution has become one of the most important factors in the digital mobility economy. In traditional transport operations, drivers or operators often depend on manual decisions, uneven demand, and fragmented scheduling. Carziqo’s platform-based approach is designed to reduce those inefficiencies by using data-driven allocation to match vehicles with demand in a more organized and responsive manner.

For Carziqo users who participate in the platform’s vehicle rental and fleet operation programs, the optimized system may help improve income stability by increasing the probability that vehicles are placed in active service rather than remaining idle. The company emphasized that actual earnings may still vary depending on market demand, vehicle type, service area, rental plan, and platform operating conditions.

Industry observers say that as autonomous mobility and intelligent fleet systems mature, the competitive advantage of a mobility platform will increasingly depend on how well it manages operational efficiency. Fleet size alone is no longer enough. Platforms must also demonstrate their ability to coordinate demand, allocate orders, maintain service quality, and convert vehicle availability into sustainable income activity.

Carziqo said the upgraded order allocation framework is part of its broader strategy to build a smarter and more scalable mobility ecosystem. The company has been developing its autonomous vehicle rental model to support ride-hailing, logistics, and other urban mobility services, allowing users and enterprise partners to access intelligent vehicles without the burden of traditional ownership.

The company also said the optimization supports a more balanced platform environment. By improving allocation fairness and efficiency, Carziqo aims to give qualified users better access to available service opportunities while maintaining a stable operating structure for the broader fleet.

Carziqo’s intelligent operating system is expected to continue evolving as the company gathers more platform data and expands its service network. Future improvements may include deeper demand forecasting, more precise route planning, regional order heat mapping, and automated performance monitoring for fleet assets.

For users, the message is clear: in the next stage of smart mobility, income growth will depend not only on owning or renting vehicles, but also on how intelligently those vehicles are managed.

As Carziqo continues to refine its order distribution and fleet coordination technologies, the company is positioning itself as more than a vehicle rental platform. It is building an operating ecosystem where autonomous vehicles, digital dispatch, and user income generation work together under one intelligent mobility network.

The faith-based program, which forms part of Panata at Tradisyon: Lenten Reflections Through Faith, Art, and Tradition in Clark, was designed to preserve Filipino religious traditions and make them more accessible — particularly to younger generations. It featured Stations of the Cross installations, live Via Crucis performances, and Visita Iglesia activities that deepened community engagement during the Lenten season. The initiative directly aligns with PAGCOR's CSR thrust on cultural heritage preservation, reinforcing Casino Plus' commitment to nation-building beyond gaming.

At the recognition program held at CDC Children's Park, CDC President and CEO Atty. Agnes VST Devanadera commended Casino Plus for their enduring support.

"Let me congratulate our partner, the representatives of Stotsenberg. Hindi lang yan sa Via Crucis — they are always with us. We are very grateful for the support that they have been giving us. The recognition of Stotsenberg is a fitting way of saying welcome to our efforts of building and rebuilding our country, our Clark," Devanadera said.

Accepting the plaque of recognition on behalf of the organization, Casino Plus Director for Corporate Social Responsibility Michael Angelo A. Horfilla underscored the significance of the award.

"This recognition reinforces the value of investing in programs that preserve our shared heritage and strengthen our identity as Filipinos. Through our Community Support for Culture pillar, Casino Plus and Color Your World Foundation remain committed to supporting initiatives that keep our faith, history, and traditions alive — while creating meaningful impact in the communities we serve," Horfilla said.

The award affirms what can be achieved through collaboration between the private sector, government, and community stakeholders. As Casino Plus continues to expand its CSR initiatives through Color Your World Foundation, it remains focused on enriching communities, preserving cultural heritage, and creating lasting opportunities for future generations.

Philippines, June 3, 2026 - SwingSmith today announced the availability of its AI golf swing analyzer app for golfers who want clearer practice feedback from a normal phone swing video. The mobile app helps golfers record a swing, review a P1-P10 position sequence, see key swing metrics, and leave with one practice priority for the next range session.

SwingSmith is built for golfers who want useful feedback between lessons, range sessions, simulator sessions, or home-net practice. After a golfer uploads a swing, SwingSmith organizes the analysis around 10 key positions from address through finish. The result includes a swing score, visual context, written notes, and a priority fix designed to make practice more focused.

"Most golfers do not need another pile of generic swing tips," said Michael Oliver, founder of SwingSmith. "They need to know what showed up in their own swing video, which pattern matters most, and what to practice next. SwingSmith turns one swing recording into a simple practice plan."

The app focuses on the same questions golfers and coaches ask when reviewing video: where the swing changed, when the movement pattern appeared, and which issue is most likely to affect contact or ball flight. SwingSmith presents that information through a P1-P10 swing sequence, more than 50 tracked metrics, priority-fix coaching, and side-by-side pro comparison views.

Key SwingSmith features include:

- AI golf swing analysis from a normal phone video

- P1-P10 checkpoint review from setup to finish

- More than 50 swing metrics for a deeper mechanical picture

- One priority fix for the next practice session

- Visual swing context and written analysis in the same result

- Ask Brody follow-up coaching connected to the golfer's swing history

- iPhone, iPad, and Android support

The app is designed to support better practice habits, not replace instruction. Golfers can use SwingSmith on their own between lessons, bring clearer video context to a coach, or use it after a simulator or range session to decide what to work on next.

Golfers can start with free starter analyses in the app. SwingSmith is available now on the App Store and Google Play. Learn more at https://swingsmithpro.com/app, download on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/swingsmith-golf-swing-ai/id6532602379, or get it on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swing_smith.

Top 5 Martial Arts & Kickboxing Gyms in South Luzon

RYC Wellness Claims Top Spot as Premier Destination for Fighters

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — The martial arts scene in South Luzon has never been more vibrant, with world‑class facilities now rivaling their counterparts across Asia. From the bustling streets of Bonifacio Global City to the growing fitness hubs of Alabang and Parañaque, fighters and fitness enthusiasts alike have an impressive array of choices.

What sets the best apart isn’t just equipment or location—it’s the combination of expert coaching, community culture, and holistic support for athletes. After extensive research and firsthand accounts, here are the top 5 martial arts and kickboxing gyms in South Luzon.

1. RYC Wellness – The Complete Fighter’s Ecosystem

Location: South Luzon

Specialties: Striking, Conditioning, Combat Sports Methodology, Holistic Athlete Development

Head Instructors: Jason Velez & Dewey Cooper

Topping the list is RYC Wellness, a facility that has redefined what a martial arts gym can be. Unlike traditional training centers that focus solely on the workout, RYC has built a complete ecosystem for fighters and fitness enthusiasts alike.

At its core are two world‑class instructors. Jason Velez is renowned as “9 Dragons” for his mastery of nine distinct martial arts disciplines—a breadth of knowledge that allows him to seamlessly blend striking, grappling, and tactical systems into a unified approach. Dewey Cooper, a globally respected kickboxing coach and former professional fighter, brings elite‑level conditioning and fight strategy. Together, they offer a curriculum that is unmatched in its depth, whether training beginners or sharpening seasoned competitors.

But what truly sets RYC apart is its holistic approach. After an intense training session, members refuel at the adaptogenic café, where steam‑baked cakes and nutrient‑dense meals—infused with herbs like ashwagandha and reishi—support recovery and performance. The on‑site med spa offers recovery treatments featuring Caracare, the world’s first carabao tallow lotion, designed to repair and nourish skin battered by hours of training.

Beyond the physical, RYC functions as a social club where martial artists connect, unwind, and build community. With themed nights like Funky Old School Friday and Swing & Salsa Sunday, the space transforms from training ground to gathering place—a concept unmatched by any other gym in the region.

Final Thoughts

South Luzon has become a true destination for martial arts and combat sports training. While traditional powerhouses like Elite Boxing and Fight Factory continue to deliver championship‑caliber instruction, RYC Wellness has reimagined what a martial arts facility can be—creating a complete ecosystem where fighters train, refuel, recover, and connect.

Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or stepping onto the mats for the first time, these top five gyms represent the best of what South Luzon has to offer.

As Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier, explains, “Innovation is most powerful when it improves lives at the community level. Our people are in the best position to understand these realities—and to build solutions that truly matter.”

Designed to continuously cultivate a mindset and culture of innovation, We-Nnovate encourages employees to think creatively within their own functions, teams, and communities. Rather than limiting innovation within Cebuana Lhuillier’s financial ecosystem alone, the campaign creates space for employees across departments to contribute ideas that improve processes, workplace practices, customer experiences, and everyday ways of working.

At the center of this effort is We Champion, which strengthens innovation capabilities through communities of practice and centers of excellence that encourage continuous learning, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. By recognizing the strengths and technical expertise of Ka-Cebuanas, particularly in emerging technologies and AI tools, employees are given opportunities to learn from one another in a collaborative environment.

Supporting this culture further is We Collab, a subprogram under We-Nnovate that enables employees to collaborate with different departments across the organization. Through cross-functional engagement and shared learning, employees exchange expertise, refine ideas, and develop more holistic approaches to solving challenges.

Beyond internal collaboration, We Ignite expands learning opportunities by connecting employees with external partners and industry experts through expert sessions, live demonstrations, and exposure to emerging technologies and trends.

At Cebuana Lhuillier, innovation is not confined to technology initiatives alone. Through We Envision, employees are encouraged to surface insights from their day-to-day work and contribute ideas that improve efficiency, customer experience, and organizational performance. More than a rigid submission process, the initiative reinforces the habit of continuously identifying opportunities for innovation and improvement in everyday work.

Supporting this culture of ideation is We Think, which provides employees with a dedicated space to pause, reflect, and generate ideas through a monthly “Think Hour” designed to encourage purposeful, creative thinking.

Meanwhile, We Pitch serves as a platform where promising ideas may be refined through collaboration and eventually presented for further development and potential implementation. Rather than acting as a required endpoint, it provides another avenue for nurturing creativity and strategic thinking within the organization.

Together, these initiatives help ensure that ideas are continuously nurtured, strengthened through collaboration, and shaped into solutions that create meaningful impact.

“Meaningful innovation happens when employees are empowered to improve operations, collaborate across teams, and turn everyday insights into solutions that create real impact for the communities we serve,” shared Jo-Ann Tacorda, First Vice President and Group Head for Corporate Services.

By embedding innovation into everyday work, Cebuana Lhuillier transforms its workforce into active contributors to national progress. The result is a model where employee-driven ideas, supported by the right tools and structure, translate into measurable impact for communities—proving that nation-building can begin from within and scale outward.

By working closely with educational institutions and community stakeholders, the Consulate has expanded initiatives that promote lifelong learning and expose students to broader cultural and global perspectives. These efforts reflect the growing understanding that education today extends beyond textbooks and traditional instruction—it also involves nurturing creativity, cultural awareness, and a deeper appreciation of the world.

According to Consul General Jean Henri Lhuillier, education must equip young people with the skills and mindset needed to navigate an increasingly interconnected future.

“Education today must prepare students not only to read and write, but also to understand the world around them, appreciate culture, and adapt to the future. Young learners need opportunities that encourage curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong desire to learn,” said Lhuillier.

This vision has guided several educational and cultural initiatives supported by the Consulate over the years. Beyond promoting literacy, these programs seek to create enriching learning experiences that help students become globally aware while remaining grounded in their communities and cultural identity.

Among the Consulate’s longstanding collaborators is Cebuana Lhuillier Foundation Inc. (CLFI), whose partnership has further strengthened efforts to make educational and community-based programs more accessible to Filipino youth. Together, they continue to support initiatives that encourage literacy, creativity, and inclusive learning opportunities beyond the classroom.

One such initiative is the Consulate’s partnership with Bookmark, Inc. to publish Pamilyang Papel, a children’s activity and storytelling material designed to make cultural education more engaging and accessible. The publication promotes reading, creativity, and the formation of values through interactive learning experiences that introduce young readers to culture and heritage.

Building on these efforts, the Consulate, in collaboration with Cebuana Lhuillier and LINKS Philippines, has continued to strengthen the Hooked on Books Program, an initiative aimed at enhancing learning environments and fostering a stronger culture of reading among Filipino students. The latest project under the program is the development of the JHL-RSM Library, the 30th milestone Hooked on Books (HOB) library established through the initiative.

As part of the project, Leonor Petra G. Elepaño met with representatives of the local government and the city administration of Manila, including city administrator Atty. Eduardo Quintos, who expressed support for the initiative and its potential impact on the community.

Currently under construction at Graciano Lopez Jaena Elementary School, the JHL-RSM Library forms part of the Consulate’s broader commitment to creating more inclusive and supportive spaces for learning. In preparation for its opening, volunteers and partners participated in a three-day community effort that included mural painting activities, library setup, and storytelling sessions for students. These activities reflect the program’s holistic approach to literacy, combining access to books with creative learning experiences that encourage children to develop a lifelong love for reading.

The project has also received support from several private-sector partners. Boysen donated mural paints that helped transform the facility into a vibrant and engaging space for students, while TOSOT served as the project’s air-conditioning sponsor.

Meanwhile, Archispace Design Inc. contributed to the construction and design of the learning space alongside JAS Design and Build Development Corp., led by Sandy Ocampo and Alvin Lu, further highlighting the collaborative effort behind the initiative.

As the project continues to take shape, it reflects San Marino’s enduring commitment to supporting educational programs that expand access to knowledge, encourage cultural appreciation, and help prepare young Filipinos for the opportunities and challenges of the future. Through initiatives such as the JHL-RSM Library, the Consulate continues to demonstrate how partnerships can help create meaningful learning experiences that empower the next generation of Filipino learners.
