Resilient and Future-Ready Living at the Forefront: SYNC by RLC Residences Earns Gold at FIABCI PH Awards

Friday, May 23, 2025


SYNC by RLC Residences, the four-tower condominium development in Pasig City, continues to make waves in the property scene as it champions resilient and future-ready living. Recognized for its outstanding design and structural innovation, SYNC recently earned the Gold Award in the Residential High-Rise Category at the FIABCI Philippines Property and Real Estate Awards 2025 last April 30.

Beyond modern finishes and lifestyle-centric amenities, the development is built to endure, with safety and adaptability integrated into its structural design. One standout engineering feature is the Sky Bridge that connects the four towers, specifically designed to withstand a magnitude 7.7 earthquake. Developed with seismic gap cover plates and tested through real-time hybrid shake table simulations, the bridge allows for erratic and independent movement between towers during seismic activity—ensuring both safety and structural integrity.


“Safety is always a top priority for us,” said Engr. Jose Rovie Cipriano, Head of Construction Group 2 of RLC Residences. “For SYNC, we made sure to work with trusted experts and conduct detailed structural tests to help the building respond better during strong earthquakes. Features like the Sky Bridge were designed to allow movement and reduce stress on the structure, so it can adapt instead of fail. We also added rubber dampers that absorb shaking during earthquakes, and cover floor plate hinges that let the floors bend and twist without cracking. At the end of the day, we want to give our residents peace of mind—knowing their home was built with resilience in mind.”

Strategically located along C5, SYNC is designed for young professionals and urban achievers who value access, efficiency, and long-term investment.

“SYNC isn’t just a place to live—it reflects the kind of future we want to offer our homeowners,” said Karen Cesario, Marketing Head and Chief Integration Officer of RLC Residences. “It’s thoughtfully designed to support everyday living while keeping practical needs like safety and reliability in mind. Being recognized by FIABCI tells us we’re moving in the right direction. We’ll keep focusing on what matters to our residents—building well-designed homes that are made to last and adapt to changing times.”

Currently, SYNC’s S Tower is undergoing unit turnover, marking a significant milestone for early investors and residents. The remaining towers are under active construction, with the final building set to launch soon. Together, these four towers form a vibrant vertical community with smart home features, curated amenities, and well-thought-out spaces that support modern lifestyles.

Too Good To Be True? BDO Foundation and SEC Join Forces to Help Filipinos Spot Investment Scams


Ever come across a too-good-to-be-true investment pitch that promises to double your money in no time? You’re not alone—and chances are, it's a scam.

As financial scams grow more sophisticated, it’s getting harder to distinguish between legit opportunities and shady deals. But the good news? Help is here.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and BDO Foundation have teamed up to launch an advocacy campaign that helps Filipinos become smarter, more vigilant investors. Through a pair of short yet powerful videos, they’re showing everyday Pinoys how to spot red flags and avoid falling into the trap of investment scams in the Philippines.

Must-Watch: “Check with SEC” and “Legit Investments? It’s a Date”


These two newly released videos are not just informative—they’re downright entertaining.

The first one, “Check with SEC,” uses music and catchy visuals to spotlight common scam tactics. Think promises of “double your money” returns, pressure to recruit others for bonuses, or being asked to deposit funds in someone’s personal bank account.  Red flag alert!

The message is clear: Always verify before you invest. The SEC is your go-to resource to confirm if a company or individual is authorized to offer investment products.

Before You Invest, Investigate

The second video, “Legit Investments? It’s a Date,” takes a fun and relatable approach. It follows Aldea, a curious and cautious investor, as she navigates three different investment options. Her secret weapon? Asking the right questions, doing her research, and knowing the key documents to request.


Here’s a golden takeaway from the video:

Just because a company is SEC-registered doesn’t mean it’s licensed to sell securities. Watch out for these important documents:
  • Permit to sell or offer securities
  • Order of registration
  • Prospectus
  • Salesman certificate

Where to Watch and Learn

The videos are now available on the SEC’s official Facebook page and will soon be rolled out on other digital platforms, as well as the BDO Foundation YouTube playlist. These will also be featured in on-ground campaigns and training sessions across the country.

Why It Matters


According to BDO Foundation President Mario Deriquito, “This shared project not only helps prevent Filipinos from falling victim to investment scams, but also builds and restores confidence in legitimate investment opportunities.”

As a long-time advocate of financial education, BDO Foundation believes that empowering Filipinos with knowledge is the best defense against fraud.

Final Tip: Think Twice, Check with SEC

Before putting your hard-earned money into anything that sounds promising, ask, research, and verify. When in doubt, don’t just trust—Check with SEC.

Because when it comes to your future, being informed isn’t just smart—it’s essential.

Financial Stress and Work Pressure Drive Record-High Anxiety Among Filipino Workers, New MindNation Survey Finds

Thursday, May 22, 2025


MindNation Mental Health Awareness Month campaign calls for urgent action in the workplace.

Mental health and well-being organization MindNation reports a significant rise in mental health challenges based on its 2024 WellBeing Survey, compared to data from 2022. This signals an urgent need for action as we navigate further into 2025. With insights from over 13,000 respondents, the data shows a growing number of Filipino employees facing heightened levels of stress, worry, and sadness.

Compared to 2022, the percentage of individuals reporting stress rose from 57% to 72% in 2024. Reports of worry surged even higher, with a 21-point jump from 47% to 68%. Feelings of sadness also increased from 34% to 50% – a clear sign that emotional fatigue and mental burnout are becoming everyday experiences for many.

Financial strain continues to be the leading source of mental health challenges, cited by 54% of respondents. This is exacerbated by pressure to perform at work (34%), physical health issues (26%), family-related problems (24%), difficulties of juggling both work and family responsibilities (22%), and job insecurity (15%). The rising numbers paint a clear picture: mental health challenges especially in the workplace are escalating, highlighting the urgent need for stronger support systems at work and in our daily lives.


“What we’re seeing is not just burnout, it’s a mental health crisis quietly unfolding inside homes and workplaces,” said Cat Triviño, co-Founder and Chief Product and Data Officer of MindNation. “Despite growing awareness, many still struggle in silence, unsure of where to turn. It’s time we normalize proactive support systems for emotional well-being and make them accessible to all.”

Now supporting over 120,000 individuals across Asia, Latin America, and the U.S., MindNation remains committed to delivering reliable, accessible, and innovative mental health care. Their evidence-based services including the WellBeing Bundles, BestMe Dashboard©, 24/7 AI chat, 8-Minute Connect©, and 24/7/365 specialized coaching and teletherapy have helped thousands reduce stress, improve work performance, relationships, and regain balance.

Driving Guaranteed Support: MindNation Mental Health Awareness Month Promos

In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month, MindNation is launching two powerful initiatives aimed at breaking down the barriers to care:


Feel Better or It’s Free Guarantee – Individuals who book a session and don’t feel better afterward may be eligible for a refund, reinforcing MindNation’s confidence in the quality and care of its services.


40% Off Teletherapy Sessions – Throughout the month of May, individuals can book a licensed Psychologist or WellBeing Coach at a discounted rate:

  • ₱1,080 for Psychologist sessions (regular ₱1,800)
  • ₱510 for WellBeing Coach sessions (regular ₱850)

Booking is available via MindNation’s Facebook or Instagram or by emailing book@mindnation.com from May 1 - 31, 2025 only.

These initiatives reflect MindNation’s mission to make mental health care more approachable and equitable. Only 4% of individuals currently seek professional help, despite experiencing high levels of emotional distress, according to the survey.

“In the last five years, we’ve proven that when mental health is prioritized, lives and organizations thrive,” Triviño added. “We hope this month becomes a turning point where more people feel empowered to seek help, take a pause, and for leaders and the government to fully invest in good health and well-being.”

ABOUT MINDNATION

MindNation is a global mental health and well-being organization on a mission to Make Feeling Better Possible — for Everyone, Every Day. With over 120,000 lives touched and more than 150 organizations supported across the United States, Latin America, and Asia, MindNation delivers accessible and affordable care that goes beyond standard therapy ensuring individuals leave each interaction feeling heard, valued, and more supported.

Petron Introduces Super Coolant for Smarter Engine Protection in Tropical Conditions


Petron Corporation, the country’s leading oil refining and marketing company, has officially launched PETRON SUPER COOLANT, a high-performance ready-to-use engine coolant developed specifically for the demanding conditions of Philippine roads. With advanced heat protection, anti-rust technology, and deposit-prevention features, Petron Super Coolant delivers superior engine care for both cars and motorcycles.

In a tropical country where extreme heat, humidity, and stop-and-go traffic are part of everyday driving, engines are constantly at risk of overheating and internal damage. Petron Super Coolant offers a solution tailored to these local realities.

Many motorists still use tap water in their radiators, not realizing that tap water alone can boil, evaporate, cause rust, and leave behind mineral deposits that harm the engine over time. Petron Super Coolant goes beyond just cooling. It protects the entire system, ensuring efficient operation and longer engine life.

Core Benefits for Everyday Driving

Petron Super Coolant is formulated with three core benefits for everyday driving. Whether you’re stuck in urban traffic or taking long drives in high temperatures, this coolant provides peace of mind on the road.

Advanced Heat Dissipation. Engines generate extreme heat, especially in traffic-heavy areas or during long drives. Petron Super Coolant maintains optimal operating temperatures, helping prevent overheating in summer or engine stress in high-performance use. This stable thermal control ensures consistent engine performance even in tough conditions.

Anti-Rust and Corrosion Shield. Over time, tap water in the radiator can lead to corrosion, which destroys engine components and leads to costly repairs. Petron Super Coolant is formulated with corrosion inhibitors that coat internal metal surfaces, preventing corrosion. This extends the life of your radiator, water pump, and other cooling system parts.

Prevents Deposit and Scale Build-Up. Minerals in tap water can form scales and residue inside the engine’s cooling channels, clogging passages and reducing the cooling efficiency. Petron Super Coolant keeps your cooling system clean by preventing these deposits from forming. The result is better heat transfer and smoother engine operation.

Versatile One-Product Solution Regardless of Color

Designed for versatility, Petron Super Coolant is suitable for both automotive and motorcycle engines, providing a one-solution coolant for Filipino motorists with multiple vehicle types. Unlike some coolants that differ by color, Petron Super Coolant offers a single, consistent, high-quality formula. Whether it’s green or red, users are guaranteed the same premium protection with every bottle—simplifying purchases and preventing compatibility confusion.

Tips for Proper Use

To maximize performance and protection, Petron recommends the following:

  • Regularly check coolant levels and top up when low.
  • Flush and replace coolant every 10,000 to 20,000 kilometers for best results.
  • Avoid mixing different coolant brands or types to maintain chemical stability and effectiveness.

Built on Petron’s Proven Expertise

Backed by decades of technical expertise, extensive product testing, and a reputation built on fuel and lubricant innovation, Petron Super Coolant has been formulated to meet the needs of Filipino motorists as well as match global standards.

The launch of Petron Super Coolant reflects the company’s Tapat Sa’yo promise to remain true, dependable, and responsive to Filipino drivers’ needs. More than just a slogan, Tapat Sa’yo is a brand philosophy centered on honest value, consistent quality, and a deep understanding of local driving conditions.

Petron Super Coolant is more than just engine protection—it’s an expression of our commitment to empower every Filipino motorist with smart, reliable solutions that keep them safe and confident on the road.

Availability

Petron Super Coolant is ready-to-use and is now available at Petron Car Care Centers, service stations and retail outlets nationwide.

Boomi and AWS Announce Strategic Collaboration to Transform Enterprise AI Integration, Automation, and SAP Cloud Migration



Boomi™, the leader in AI-driven automation, announced a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to help customers build, manage, monitor and govern generative artificial intelligence (AI) agents across enterprise operations. Additionally, the SCA will aim to help customers accelerate SAP migrations from on-premises to AWS.

Enterprise organizations today struggle with fragmented AI agent management across multiple platforms and environments, incurring potential security risks and operational inefficiencies. As AI agent adoption accelerates, organizations need a trusted way to monitor, secure, and optimize their AI investments across their diverse technology landscape.

By integrating Amazon Bedrock — a fully managed service for building and scaling generative AI applications, including access to the broadest selection of fully managed models from leading AI companies — with the Boomi Agent Control Tower, a centralized management solution for deploying, monitoring, and governing AI agents across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, customers can easily discover, build, and manage agents executing in their AWS accounts, while also maintaining visibility and control over agents running in other cloud provider or third-party environments. Through a single API, Amazon Bedrock provides a broad set of capabilities to build generative AI applications with security, privacy, and responsible AI in mind, including support for Model Context Protocol (MCP), a new open standard that enables developers to build secure, two-way connections between their data and AI-powered tools. MCP enables agents to effectively interpret and work with ERP data while complying with data governance and security requirements.

"Our Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS comes at a critical inflection point where enterprise AI adoption requires a delicate balance between innovation and governance," said Steve Lucas, Chairman and CEO at Boomi. "By integrating Amazon Bedrock's powerful generative AI capabilities with Boomi's Agent Control Tower, we're giving organizations unprecedented visibility and control across their entire AI ecosystem while simultaneously accelerating their critical SAP workload migrations to AWS. This partnership enables enterprises to confidently scale their AI initiatives with the security, compliance, and operational excellence their business demands."

“As we've worked with thousands of customers adopting generative AI, one thing has become clear—enterprises need robust solutions to effectively deploy, monitor, and govern AI agents across their technology environments,” said Rahul Pathak, VP, Data & AI GTM at AWS. “Amazon Bedrock provides customers with choice—the most comprehensive selection of foundation models and built-in governance capabilities. When you combine this with Boomi's Agent Control Tower providing centralized visibility and control, customers get what they need to innovate confidently while maintaining security and compliance. This collaboration brings together complementary strengths so customers can move quickly from proof-of-concept to production while meeting their business requirements.”

“As we expand AI-driven automation across our business, Boomi and AWS are essential partners enabling us to securely manage complexity and scale innovation,” said Amit Sinha, President & Co-Founder of WorkSpan. “Utilizing Boomi’s integration capabilities combined with AWS infrastructure, we seamlessly connect diverse systems, accelerate SAP and AI initiatives, and maintain essential visibility and governance across our technology landscape—significantly enhancing our ability to innovate quickly and confidently.”

The collaboration will introduce several strategic joint initiatives, including:

Agent Control Tower - Integrated with Amazon Bedrock, Boomi’s Agent Control Tower, part of Boomi Agentstudio(formerly Boomi AI Studio), provides holistic multi-cloud governance for AI agents. Organizations gain comprehensive visibility, proactive monitoring, and control of both Boomi-authored and third-party AI agents. This solution is critical for securely scaling AI initiatives across on-premises, public, or hybrid cloud environments, reducing complexity and ensuring enterprise-grade security and compliance.

Enhanced Agent Designer - Boomi’s low-code Agent Designer, now integrated with Amazon Q index, allows rapid creation of AI agents with deep contextual understanding and smarter model selection. Enterprises can build, train, and deploy intelligent agents that leverage Amazon Q index for improved relevance and performance—and then manage them at scale via Boomi’s multi-platform Agent Control Tower.

New Native AWS Connectors and Boomi for SAP - As part of its SCA with AWS, Boomi has introduced new native connectors for AWS Lambda, Amazon Bedrock, Amazon DynamoDB, and the Amazon Selling Partner Appstore. These connectors enable seamless integration across AWS services, supporting use cases from serverless computing to generative AI and e-commerce. Also part of the broader SCA collaboration, Boomi for SAP provides SAP-certified native integration that simplifies and accelerates connectivity between SAP and non-SAP systems, reduces integration time, and supports cloud migration with modern ELT capabilities powered by the Rivery acquisition. Organizations can efficiently move SAP data into any AWS-powered data warehouse or data lake to enable real-time analytics and AI. Together, Boomi and AWS empower organizations to connect SAP to non-SAP applications, move data seamlessly to the cloud, and fuel AI and analytics initiatives—maximizing the value of their technology investments.

Boomi Validated as AWS Generative AI Competency Partner

Boomi also announced it achieved the AWS Generative AI Competency - a specialization that recognizes Boomi as an AWS Partner that helps customers and the AWS Partner Network drive the advancement of services, tools, and infrastructure pivotal for implementing generative AI technologies. As of May 2025, this marks Boomi’s fifth AWS Competency, demonstrating Boomi’s leadership in building generative AI applications using AWS technologies such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q, and Amazon SageMaker. This recognition reflects Boomi’s proven field expertise and technical best practices, enabling customers to innovate confidently with next-generation AI solutions at scale.
