BRAVIA Theatre Trio 

BRAVIA Theatre Trio: Sony’s flagship model, expands sound far beyond the screen 

The BRAVIA Theatre Trio is a premium wireless theater system crafted for ultra large screens, developed to bring an authentic cinema experience into the home. To capture the passion and craftsmanship of sound creators at the heart of film production, the Trio was created in close collaboration with SPE. Through this partnership, our team gained deep insight into professional sound making, with SPE sound creators involved from the earliest stages to refine every detail. The result is a newly designed three speaker system—optimized front, left, right, and center speakers—that delivers a wide, immersive soundstage and clear dialogue in a space efficient package. Supported by SPE sound creator expertise, the Trio lets you experience at home the immersive sound crafted for film production3. 

“Sound design is integral to the cinematic experience and often drives the visceral impact of a scene,” said Tony Lamberti, Academy Award–nominated sound mixer. “The spatiality of the BRAVIA Theatre Trio is exceptional; it fully envelops you in sound and delivers a truly immersive, cinematic experience in the home.” 

“When we design sound for film, every choice is about guiding what the audience feels in a moment,” said Andrew DeCristofaro, sound designer at SPE. “The BRAVIA Theatre Trio brings that same intention into the home, letting people hear the detail, movement and balance the way we meant it to be experienced.” 

Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology (360SSM) generates up to 24 phantom speakers to create a wide, cinematic sound field that envelops listeners from every direction. Developed with insights from SPE, the technology is informed by an in-depth study of professional studio acoustics and the listening environments used in film production. By creating both direct sound and the natural reflections characteristic of cinemas, 360SSM transforms a room into an immersive audio space using only the existing speaker layout. The result is a multidimensional sound field that feels as though numerous speakers are placed throughout the room, faithfully conveying the depth, positioning, and nuance intended by filmmakers. 

With a newly added high performance USB Type C microphone, the BRAVIA Theatre Trio delivers enhanced measurement accuracy and effortless, precise room calibration, creating immersive sound perfectly tuned to any space

BRAVIA Theatre Trio supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced for compatible content and can be expanded with optional subwoofers and rear speakers6including dual subwoofer configurations7. 

Other Update 

Direct Connect allows compatible BRAVIA TVs to pair directly with optional wireless subwoofers and wireless rear speakers, without requiring a soundbar, enabling simple setups for deeper bass and more expansive surround when paired with the TV’s impressive speaker system

Direct Connect: Easily enhance the bass and surround sound 

Sustainability & Accessibility 

Our TVs use recycled materials across the body, internal parts, and remote, including Sony original SORPLAS™. Additionally, the entire True RGB lineup benefits from power efficient RGB LED control by RGB Backlight Master Drive Pro. 

A new inclusive remote control9improves accessibility through narration friendly design and tactile clarity. 

Availability 

The BRAVIA 7 II and BRAVIA Theatre Trio are now available in the Philippines.

Higher Bills and Less Comfortable Nights? These May Be Signs Your Old Aircon Is Costing You More Than You Realize

For many Filipino families, replacing an old aircon often feels like something you can only do when it completely stops working. After all, if it still turns on and cools a room, why replace it? But what many homeowners don’t realize is that an old aircon can quietly cost more over time – not just through higher electricity bills but also through the small discomforts that slowly become part of everyday life.

Maybe your room doesn’t feel as cool as it used to, or it takes longer to cool your space, or your monthly electric bill keeps going up even though your routines haven’t changed. These may seem like small inconveniences, but they’re often signs that your current unit is no longer keeping up with your household’s needs – and that it may be time for an upgrade.

A smart upgrade isn’t just about replacing an old appliance; it’s about creating a home that feels easier to live in every day. If you’re thinking about upgrading your aircon, here are three things to keep in mind.

1. Prioritize efficiency and cost-effectiveness

One of the clearest signs your aircon may be due for an upgrade is when your electricity bill keeps rising even though your family’s usage hasn’t really changed. If you’re still using a non-inverter aircon, that may be the reason why. 

Older aircons, especially non-inverter models, use more electricity just to keep a room cool, which is why many homeowners are encouraged to upgrade to an inverter.  Instead of running at full power all the time, they use only the energy needed to keep a certain space comfortable. This helps lower unnecessary energy consumption and keeps electricity costs more manageable.

2. Look beyond cooling and improve air quality at home

Another aspect that tends to get overlooked is air quality. Old aircons can accumulate dust, moisture, and bacteria, especially when filters and other internal components aren’t regularly maintained. This can affect homes with young children, elderly family members, or anyone sensitive to allergens. This is where upgrading could make a big difference, not just for cooling your home but for cleaner, healthier air for the family to breathe everyday.

3. Invest in comfort-enhancing features 

Older units may still cool a room, but often have drawbacks such as uneven airflow, noisy operation, or the need for manual adjustments. The right aircon should make comfort feel seamless, and the Carrier Aura Split is designed to meet that need. 

Equipped with Energenius Inverter Technology to efficiently maintain your preferred temperature, it allows families to enjoy all-day cooling costing as little as ₱324 a month. That’s just around the cost of two large coffee orders at a coffee shop, or a quick lunch order you get on delivery, or one month’s streaming subscription. And for that same amount, you get long-lasting comfort all day for you and your family.

The Carrier Aura Split also makes comfort more personal. Its Follow Me function adds intelligence by adjusting the temperature based on where you are in the room, using its remote as a reference point. Its Intelligent Eye Sensor detects when a room has been empty for 30 minutes and switches the air conditioner to Eco Mode to help save energy.

The unit has Silent Mode that keeps noise as low as 20 dB, while 4-Way Airflow distributes cool air more evenly throughout the room. It also keeps your home feeling fresher, thanks to its Active Clean function and Tri-Filtration System which work together to help reduce dust, odors, and bacteria in the air. 

Together, these features make comfort something you no longer have to worry about – your aircon simply takes care of it for you and your family. 

Make the smart upgrade today for you and your family

Over time, an aircon upgrade can add up in savings, helping make the upgrade feel more worth it in the long run.  If a high-efficiency air conditioner costs about ₱4,000 more upfront but delivers approximately ₱700 in monthly electricity savings, the additional cost can be recovered in around 5 to 6 months. After the payback period, the lower energy consumption translates into ongoing savings over the unit's lifetime, making it a more cost-effective choice in the long run.

Available in 1.0HP, 1.5HP, 2.0HP, and 2.5HP depending on room size and cooling needs, the Carrier Aura line also includes models for various home requirements, such as the Carrier Aura Window for window-type installations and the Carrier Aura Slim for cooling modern, open-layout homes.

Whether you’re upgrading your bedroom aircon, improving your family’s shared living area, or refreshing your home office setup, choosing the right aircon can make a meaningful difference in the day-to-day comfort and expenses of your whole household.  To learn more about Carrier Aura products, visit this link.

Lenovo is building an Intelligent Command Center for FIFA World Cup 2026™

This edition of FIFA World Cup™ will be unlike any tournament that has come before it. The tournament will feature 48 teams, 104 matches, 16 cities, and will span three countries. The logistical challenges of running an event at this scale are significant and require a fundamentally different approach from how major tournaments have been managed in the past. Lenovo is answering the call with its Intelligent Command Center (ICC).

What exactly is Lenovo’s Intelligent Command Center? 

The ICC is a centralized, real-time operations platform that gives FIFA a holistic, live view of everything happening across the tournament. It aggregates data from multiple operational systems into a single environment, giving officials a shared source of truth from venue-level activity to tournament-wide trends. 

While previous tournaments relied on teams consuming information from different systems with fragmented information, the ICC brings it all together in one place, in real-time.

Who is it built for? 

The ICC is designed for FIFA operations teams and executives, who need a shared, live operational picture to coordinate and make decisions quickly. It is a fundamental feature of the Tournament Operations Center (TOC) in Miami, the venue from which FIFA oversees the entire tournament. Big screens will display real-time insights and alerts, and operational details will be made available to appropriate stakeholders directly into the palm of their hands on Lenovo tablets and devices.   

When something happens the ICC helps ensure that the people who need to act are all looking at the same information, aiding a controlled and synchronized response.

How does this change tournament operations?

At a tournament spanning three countries and 16 stadiums, seamless coordination becomes more important than ever. Different functional areas can now update each other in real-time from across the continent, recurring issues can be shared in seconds, and informed decisions can be made faster. 

Building on this, the ICC introduces a more connected way of working. While tournament operations have traditionally relied on siloed systems, the ICC brings these together into a live, unified view of operations. This enables FIFA officials to identify potential bottlenecks, risks, and disruptions earlier and respond more effectively as situations evolve.

What is Lenovo’s role? 

Lenovo’s role is to design and build the ICC platform, ensuring its seamless execution across functionality, performance, and responsiveness. Lenovo enables the integration of data, dashboards, and decision-support tools that power the platform. Working in close partnership with FIFA’s operations teams, Lenovo ensures the platform reflects the agreed operational requirements and meets defined standards, enabling a consistent, reliable, and real-time view of tournament operations for all stakeholders when it matters most.

What else does the ICC provide? 

Beyond real-time monitoring, the ICC supports collaboration across teams, scenario planning ahead of matches, and post-event analysis to help FIFA continuously improve operational execution across venues and throughout the tournament.

Your Mid-Year Money Reset: Five Ways to Make the Rest of 2026 Count

There's something about the middle of the year that makes people reassess everything: the routines they've kept, the goals they've quietly abandoned, and the habits they want to change. Money shouldn't be any different.

Halfway through 2026 isn't just another milestone on the calendar, it's an opportunity to check whether your financial habits are still helping you get where you want to go. Because the smartest financial plans aren't the ones you never change, they're the ones that evolve as life does.

Whether your priorities have shifted or you're simply looking to finish the year stronger, here are six practical ways to give your finances a mid-year reset with Maya, the country's #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform.

1. Ask yourself if you're still saving for the right goal

One of the biggest misconceptions about financial planning is that your goals should stay the same all year; but life changes. The trip you wanted to take may have become an emergency fund, a gadget can wait while home repairs suddenly take priority, or maybe you've accomplished one goal and it's time to start another.

That's not falling behind. That's adapting.

With Maya Personal Goals, users can create up to five personalized savings goals while earning up to 8% interest p.a., making it easier to save separately for everything from travel and emergencies to bigger life milestones.

2. Give your savings a promotion

If your savings account is simply holding your money, it might be worth asking: Could it be doing more?

A mid-year reset isn't just about saving more. It's about making the money you've already saved continue working in the background.

With Maya Savings, users can earn up to 15% interest p.a., credited daily, while keeping their funds accessible whenever they need them.

For money that won't be needed anytime soon, Maya Time Deposit Plus offers another way to grow savings over a fixed period with rates of up to 6% p.a. and the flexibility to top up funds anytime.

Because even small adjustments today can make a meaningful difference by year-end.

3. Make every peso do more than one job

One habit worth carrying into the second half of the year? Getting more value from the spending you're already doing. Whether it's rewards, cashback, or perks, everyday expenses don't have to end once you've paid the bill.

With the Maya Black Credit Card, cardholders earn up to 10x Maya Miles at Maya Black Preferred merchants, while its Visa-powered acceptance makes it easy to use whether you're dining locally or traveling abroad. Those Maya Miles can be redeemed for vouchers for shopping, dining, and more, helping stretch the value of purchases you've already made.

Meanwhile, the Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card offers 5% cashback at Landers, 2% cashback on dining, and 1% cashback on most purchases. Cardholders also enjoy a ₱7.00-per-liter fuel discount at Landers-Caltex stations.

4. Don't mistake flexibility for falling behind

Not every financial surprise comes from overspending, sometimes expenses simply arrive all at once: a family celebration, repairs, school-related expenses, or even holiday bookings. Even well-planned budgets can feel stretched when timing doesn't cooperate.

For bigger purchases that you'd rather spread out over time, Maya's Mini Payments feature lets eligible purchases be converted into 3, 6, 9, or 12-month installment plans at a fixed add-on interest rate at 1% per month, with zero processing fees on Mini Payments created until September 30, 2026.

For more unexpected financial needs, Maya Easy Credit1 offers access to up to ₱50,000, repayable within 30 days. Meanwhile, Maya Personal Loan2 provides up to ₱400,000 with flexible monthly repayment terms—all within the Maya app and without the usual paperwork or collateral.

5. Don’t let predictable expenses catch you by surprise

Some of the biggest expenses each year aren't actually unexpected, they're simply easy to underestimate.

Holiday shopping, year-end travel, family celebrations, and school-related costs tend to arrive around the same time, putting extra pressure on monthly budgets.

Planning for them doesn't necessarily mean setting aside huge amounts overnight. Giving yourself a few extra months to prepare can make those expenses feel much more manageable when they eventually come around.

For longer-term goals, Maya Time Deposit Plus lets users grow their savings with rates of up to 6% p.a., while offering the flexibility to top up funds anytime, making it easier to prepare today for what's already on the horizon.

Halfway through the year isn't a finish line or a report card. It's simply a chance to pause and ask whether your money is still supporting the life you're trying to build.

Maybe your priorities have changed. Maybe your spending habits have improved. Or maybe the goals you set in January no longer reflect where you are today. That's not a setback, it's part of life.

Just as we regularly reassess our work, our routines, and our personal goals, our finances deserve the same kind of attention. A mid-year reset is an opportunity to make sure your savings, spending, and financial habits still align with what matters most today.

After all, there's still half a year left to make meaningful progress.

Lenovo Recognized in the Gartner® Supply Chain Top 25 for 2026

 

Lenovo has once again been ranked in the Gartner® Supply Chain Top 25 for 2026, achieving its highest-ever ranking at seventh globally. The Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 is a renowned annual ranking of the world’s superior supply chains. Now in its 22nd year, the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 identifies, celebrates and profiles excellence in supply chain management. Supply chain teams use the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25 to benchmark performance, transform operations and lead in the future. Lenovo ranked eighth in 2025, 10th in 2024, and eighth in 2023.

AI Builds Greater Supply Chain Resilience

Global supply chains have faced unprecedented disruption over the past 12 months, driven by tariffs, component shortages, and geopolitical tensions. Lenovo’s strength amid these challenging circumstances has been its ability to build on its AI infrastructure behind its global supply chain, improving resilience, adaptability and execution at speed and scale.

Over the past year, Lenovo has evolved its Supply Chain Intelligence “digital nervous system” to develop iChain, a continuously learning orchestration system that coordinates thousands of suppliers and more than 30 manufacturing sites globally. iChain is delivering tangible results for Lenovo’s supply chain operations, including 60% faster decision-making, near real-time disruption response, and a 90% automation of network simulations that reduces manual analysis from two to three weeks down to two to three hours.

Lenovo remains committed to sustainability and continues to focus on future-proofing its operations by making the supply chain more resilient and intelligent.

“At Lenovo, we’ve always considered our Global Supply Chain as a key pillar of our operational excellence,” said Che Min Tu, Senior Vice President and Group Operations Officer, Lenovo. “Over the past 12 months, the ability to respond quickly to disruption has become essential for every business. By fully integrating AI into our operations, we’ve been able to meet our customer needs more quickly and respond to complex situations. We not only withstand disruption; we become stronger because of it. It’s this approach that’s helped Lenovo navigate changing market conditions, maintain a competitive advantage, and deliver its strongest year in the company’s history.”

Resilience Delivers Measurable Business Results

This resilience is translating into business performance. Lenovo retained its number one position in global PC market share, with the gap to the second-ranked competitor widening to its largest level in 15 years.

At the same time, integrating the Infrastructure Solutions Group supply chain into the broader global network has helped accelerate growth in Lenovo’s infrastructure business, supporting record operating profit and margins.

As global supply chains continue to grow more complex, Lenovo’s model is evolving beyond the high-volume PC business, where a single device can include an average of 2,500 components, to meet hypergrowth demand for AI infrastructure, enterprise solutions, and next-generation workloads. This positions Lenovo to maintain leadership in the global supply chain landscape by scaling AI server manufacturing, expanding liquid-cooled server capacity, and strengthening its global-local manufacturing network.

Lenovo’s Global, Anti-Fragile Supply Chain Strategy

Today, Lenovo’s supply chain spans more than 30 manufacturing sites in 10 markets across Asia Pacific, China, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, North America, and South America. Last year, Lenovo broke ground on a new manufacturing base in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Once operational, the advanced manufacturing facility will manufacture PCs, smartphones, and servers for the Middle East and Africa market, and will include a research and development center, talent enablement programs, and a customer experience center. Lenovo is committed to supporting the creation of thousands of local jobs, enabling knowledge transfer, and driving long-term economic value creation in Saudi Arabia.

In addition, Lenovo’s manufacturing site in Monterrey, Mexico, was recently recognized as one of 12 new additions to the World Economic Forum’s Global Lighthouse Network, a community of 201 leading manufacturers recognized for applying advanced technologies at scale. It is the second Lenovo site to receive this recognition, following the company’s site in Hefei, China, which was recognized in January 2023.

In September 2025, Lenovo announced a major investment and job expansion at its U.S. manufacturing and fulfilment campus in Whitsett, North Carolina. The three‑building campus spans more than 800,000 square feet and employs approximately 1,100 people. The site supports server manufacturing, rack integration, and order fulfilment for customers across the United States.

How are companies ranked in the Gartner Supply Chain Top 25?

A Top 25 supply chain ranking is based on an equal weighting of business metrics and community opinion.

Business metrics comprise financial and environmental, social and governance (ESG) metrics. Financial metrics are based on a combination of three-year weighted return on physical assets (ROPA), ROPA change and revenue growth, plus inventory turns across the year. ESG data is derived from trusted third-party sources in the areas of commitment, transparency and performance across each area of ESG.

Community opinion is based on the feedback of peer voters from the community and Gartner experts. Peer voters cast votes for their personal choice of the Top 25 supply chains. They base their decisions on perceived end-to-end supply chain maturity and leadership, specifically the supply chains that are run as strategic assets to deliver business and societal outcomes by partnering beyond their own organizations and that are thriving through uncertainty.

From saver to millionaire: How a delivery rider’s financial discipline paid off with GSave

 

Learn how consistent saving and financial discipline through GSave helped a delivery rider reach a million-peso milestone

A delivery rider from Bautista, Pangasinan is proving that consistent saving can lead to meaningful results after winning ₱1 million through the Spin to Win promo from GCash, the Philippines’ leading finance superapp and largest cashless ecosystem.

Jolan, who has been using GCash since 2019, built his savings habit long before adopting digital tools. He started by setting aside small amounts in a traditional alkansya or piggy bank, driven by a simple goal: to secure his future and achieve personal milestones. Over time, this discipline became a routine that shaped how he managed his finances.

Saving consistently for years paid off when he won ₱1 million through GSave’s Spin to Win promo. The campaign rewarded eligible GSave users with chances to win prizes by depositing and growing their savings. For Jolan, the win further reinforced the value of staying committed to his financial goals.

“Hindi ako agad naniwala noong una (na nanalo ako), pero nung nakumpirma na, doon ko na-realize na may bunga talaga ang pagtitiyaga sa pag-iipon,” Jolan shared. (I didn’t believe it at first (that I had won), but once it was confirmed, that’s when I realized that perseverance in saving really pays off.)

GSave is a savings feature within the GCash app that allows users to securely store money and earn interest. It is designed to make saving more accessible by integrating it into a platform that many Filipinos already use for daily transactions.

For Jolan, shifting from a piggy bank to GSave made a significant difference. He said the added security gave him peace of mind, while the ability to track his savings helped him stay consistent. Seeing his balance grow, along with the interest earned, became a strong motivator to continue saving.

“Mas kampante ako na nasa GSave ang pera ko dahil mas secure ito, at nakikita ko pa kung paano ito lumalaki, kaya mas ginaganahan akong mag-ipon,” Jolan said. (I feel more confident keeping my money in GSave because it’s more secure, and I can see my savings grow over time, which motivates me to save even more.)

His approach to saving remains straightforward: set aside any amount he can whenever possible and make a conscious effort to limit unnecessary spending. Jolan believes that discipline and consistency matter more than the amount saved, and that even small contributions can build over time.

Despite winning ₱1 million, he has no plans to spend the money immediately. Instead, he intends to keep saving and use the prize to strengthen his long-term financial security. For him, the win is an opportunity to move closer to the goals he has been working toward for years.

Jolan encourages fellow GCash users to start saving, regardless of how small the amount may be. He believes expenses carefully and avoiding unnecessary purchases can make a significant difference over time.

Saving, he said, is a habit that anyone can build with consistency and discipline. With the right tools and mindset, even small steps can lead to greater financial stability.

As the digital savings platform of GCash, GSave democratizes access to financial services and helps Filipinos address traditional banking challenges like manual paperwork submission, physical branch queuing, and deposit limits. It allows users to seamlessly open and manage accounts from top partner banks—such as CIMB, BPI, Maybank, UNO Digital Bank, and Cebuana Lhuillier Rural Bank—all through their mobile phones. To make secure wealth-building more frictionless, GSave features no minimum deposit, no maintaining balance, and no transfer fee requirements, ensuring anyone can start saving instantly.
