HUAWEI Amps Up the Fitness and Fun at the Cosmo Summer Party 2025 with HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series

 

HUAWEI joined the summer fun at the Cosmo Summer Party 2025, a tropical celebration of wellness, fashion, and modern self-care. Held last May 24 at El Fuego, San Juan, La Union, the event brought together a vibrant community of people looking for a fun getaway to unwind from the everyday hustle.

Bringing a fresh fusion of innovation and island energy with the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series’ immersive wellness experiences, HUAWEI gave attendees the opportunity to press pause, offering a refreshing escape from the workday rush.

Smart, Stylish, and Ready for the Summer Scene

As guests explored the beachside booths, the HUAWEI booth quickly became a favorite hotspot. Attendees got to try out the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series and learned how it fits seamlessly into their daily routines. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series’ sleek look was an immediate standout for guests. Designed with an aircraft-grade titanium bezel case and sapphire glass display, the smartwatch looked elegant but still beach-ready. Attendees also gushed about the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro’s vibrant AMOLED display, with 3,000 nits peak brightness that’s strong enough for the sun’s rays. 

They also loved the unique custom watch faces available on the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series, like the adorable Pet Faces that reflected their mood with a tiny furry mascot. Attendees enjoyed personalizing their screen with customized sticker watch faces. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro even changes its look based on the wearers’ surroundings—it's basically the friend who always knows the dress code. Attendees loved the variety of watch straps available, choosing between smooth, skin-friendly fluoroelastomer strap for their morning yoga session or beachside swim, or the breathable, 3D woven strap. 

Mindful Movement Meets Modern Tech

A highlight of the day was the beach yoga session, headed by expert yoga instructor April Gomez, where attendees synced breath and movement against the stunning ocean backdrop. It was a moment of pure calm and a perfect showcase for how HUAWEI’s wellness tracking features support intentional living. Attendees got to monitor key health indicators, including their heart rate and calories burned during the yoga session. 

Guests tried out the Emotional Wellbeing Assistant, which monitors their mood in real-time. Attendees pointed out how the feature is a useful tool in helping them manage their emotions better.  

The guests also liked the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro’s extensive, pro-level sports features. The device supported over 100 sports modes, like yoga, hiking and HIIT workouts. The HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series is perfect for those eager to try water activities at the beach as it now supports water sports modes. Plus with the HUAWEI Sunflower Positioning System and 40m water resistance, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series can keep track of the wearers’ movements, anywhere they go, even in the open water. 

One Beach Party, A Whole Wellness Experience

Aside from trying out the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series, guests also enjoyed various interactive activities and mini games, which made their Cosmo Summer Party 2025 more fun and memorable. The event allowed guests to unwind and explore new ways to take care of their minds and bodies, leaving them with inspiration to build better habits and embrace smarter living.

Young Filipinos turning to AI self-help tools amid rising mental health struggles

 

AXA’s 2025 Mind Health Report highlights the growing mental health challenges faced by young Filipinos and the importance of digital tools and proactive support in fostering safer, healthier mental well-being for the community.

In an era defined by economic uncertainty, digital fatigue, and growing social isolation, young Filipinos are emerging at the forefront of a vital conversation: mental health. According to AXA’s 2025 Mind Health Report, Filipinos, aged 18 to 34, are experiencing significantly higher levels of stress, anxiety, and depression than their global peers. Yet, they are also among the most proactive in seeking support through digital and AI-powered mental wellness tools.

This year’s study offers deep insights into how Filipinos—especially the younger generation—are coping, adapting, and innovating in response to mental health challenges.

Gen Z and Millennials Lead the Shift to Digital Mental Health

The AXA Mind Health Index, a key component of the report, categorizes individuals into four distinct mental well-being states:

A significant portion of Filipino youth identify as languishing or struggling—highlighting the urgent need for accessible, relevant, and proactive mental health solutions.

This year’s AXA Mind Health Report provides valuable insights into how Filipinos, particularly the younger generation, are coping, adapting, and finding innovative ways to address mental health challenges.

According to the report, Filipinos aged 18 to 34 are more likely than older generations to suffer from severe mental health symptoms and are diagnosed with conditions at higher rates than their global peers. Despite these challenges, this age group shows strong resilience and initiative—39% turn to AI-powered mental health tools, well above the global average of 28%. In fact, half of all Filipinos now rely on digital platforms like websites, blogs, forums, and social media for mental health support.

Stress Levels Among Working-Class Filipinos Among Highest Globally

The report also reveals that nearly seven in ten Filipinos experience at least mild forms of anxiety, stress, or depression—among the highest rates globally. Key drivers include financial instability and job insecurity (76% vs 53% globally), uncertainty about the future (70% vs 53%), loneliness and social isolation (58% vs 42%), climate change anxiety (57% vs 38%), and exposure to negative news (55% vs 45%).

Workplaces play a significant role in both stress and support. The data points to an opportunity for organizations to be part of the solution—by fostering psychologically safe environments, supporting mental health literacy, and encouraging open conversations.

Local employers must encourage proactive conversations and collaborations among young Filipinos to support mental health and promote holistic well-being across communities.

Building a Culture of Early Support

As more young Filipinos turn to self-guided tools and digital channels for help, the availability of accessible resources for early mental health awareness and care becomes increasingly important.

Simple, non-diagnostic tools – such as AXA’s

Mind Health Self-Check—are helping individuals reflect on their mental state and take proactive steps when needed. Some

health plans in the market have also begun to include free mental health consultations as part of their coverage, recognizing the importance of holistic care. Additionally, a growing number of protection solutions now acknowledge the reality of mental health conditions, with some beginning to incorporate coverage for select mental health conditions.

“Because mental health is not just a personal issue—it’s a public one. And tackling it requires shared understanding, accessible tools, and sustained support,” said AXA Philippines CEO Ayman Kandil. “And while we still have a long way to address the gaps,know you cando something now and thrive with the right support.”

The annual AXA Mind Health Report, now in its fifth year, explores global and local attitudes toward mental health and tracks emerging trends and behaviors that influence mental wellness across life stages and cultures. As one of the largest and fastest-growing insurance companies in the country, AXA Philippines aims to amplify the conversation around mind health and uncover opportunities for individuals, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to take action for a better global mind health.

Building a more inclusive city: Tagbilaran launches “Cityzen Card” with GCash to unlock financial services

 

(L-R) Tagbilaran City chief of staff Cathelyn Torremocha, GCash account manager for public sector Bryle Acedillo, Tagbilaran City mayor Hon. Jane Yap, GCash head of public sector Cleo Santos, head of B2B strategy Cathlyn Pavia, and Visayas regional sales head Ronelo Buhawe

Tagbilaran, a heritage city known for its old churches and the famed Chocolate Hills, is accelerating its digitalization efforts with the launch of its multipurpose "Cityzen's Card," powered by GCash and Visa. The Cityzen's Card will serve as a prepaid card and a local government-issued ID, enabling Tagbilaran City residents to access essential local government services seamlessly.

As the first Visayan city to offer this service, Tagbilaran is leading the way in innovation and highlighting the value of a multisectoral approach that leverages the combined efforts of local government units, digital financial technology providers, and private enterprises in creating lasting social and economic benefits.

City officials emphasize that the introduction of the Cityzen’s Card marks a significant step forward in improving the delivery of public services and advancing financial inclusion, particularly for traditionally underserved residents. Launched during the city’s annual Saulog Festival, the card will initially be issued to 80,000 residents, including senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and public sector workers.

The co-branded card will also enable the city government to send financial assistance and allowances directly to recipients’ GCash accounts, eliminating the need for in-person collection and reducing the risk of inefficiencies.

In addition, the multi-stakeholder approach in accelerating Tagbilaran City’s digitalization efforts allows residents to make cashless purchases at merchants accepting Visa and benefit from GCash features, such as savings accounts, fair credit options, affordable insurance, and accessible investment opportunities. Cardholders can also enjoy discounts at select establishments across Tagbilaran City, encouraging local economic activity and community engagement. 

“Digitalization is part of the key executive agenda of my administration,” added Mayor Yap during her address at the Liveable Cities LocalLab, a policy platform focused on smart city development.

“We believe that it is now time that we plant the seeds so that the next generation will reap the benefits. As a young mayor, I have access to technology, but I can’t keep it all to myself. I have to share it, I have to make my city realize that this is it, we are going to be a smart city,” said Tagbilaran City Mayor Jane Yap.

The launch of the Cityzen’s Card highlights a growing trend across Southeast Asian countries, where local governments partner with fintech firms to accelerate financial inclusion and digitize public services. In the Philippines, where more than half of the population remains unbanked, fintech companies like GCash have become critical gateways to digital finance.

“The Cityzen’s Card is a powerful example of how digital tools can enable smart governance,” said GCash VP and head of public sector, Cleo Santos. “By embedding financial access into city services, we’re not only streamlining aid and assistance delivery but also supporting efficient governance, like that of Tagbilaran, and driving real financial inclusion for their constituents.”

The Cityzen’s Card is expected to become the default ID and digital financial access point for residents of Tagbilaran. Its rollout comes amid heightened calls for digital transformation across Philippine local governments, many of which are grappling with the logistical challenges of social aid distribution.
