A wave of soft, dreamy indie-pop is set to wash over Makati as Peach Luffe, the Korean-born, Toronto-based artist behind the viral hit “Ego,” prepares to perform at The Rest Is Noise (TRIN) 44 on November 30, 2025, happening at the Sari-Sari Bar.

Known for crafting music that feels like a gentle daydream, Peach Luffe has captured the hearts of Southeast Asian listeners  especially Filipino fans  who propelled “Ego” to No. 8 on Spotify’s Viral 50 Philippines as the track became a favorite soundtrack for Weak Hero Class fan edits across TikTok.

Now, he’s finally bringing that soft, nostalgic magic live to Manila.

A Rising Indie Favorite Finds a Home in Manila’s Vibrant Music Scene

The artist behind Peach Luffe is Jong Lee, a classically trained violinist who channels his background into lush, transportive melodies that feel both intimate and cinematic. His musical approach  blending indie-pop sensibilities with sweeping violin arrangements has earned him recognition from global outlets like CBC, Exclaim!, and Atwood Magazine.

What started as a personal bedroom project during the pandemic has since evolved into a full-band act with multiple EPs and worldwide playlist placements. His song “Ego” alone has inspired over 400,000 TikTok creations and generated more than 500 million views across Southeast Asia.

With Manila’s love affair for K-indie, soft pop, and “comfort artists,” Peach Luffe’s arrival feels perfectly timed.

At TRIN 44, Peach Luffe joins a stellar lineup of beloved Filipino acts, blending regional and local artistry in one unforgettable show. Sharing the stage are:

• Shirebound, known for their heartfelt alt-pop storytelling
• Shanne Dandan, the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter with velvety vocals

It’s the kind of lineup that mirrors the evolution of Manila’s indie scene — introspective, emotional, and endlessly creative.

Why Being a “Type G Traveler” Is the Smartest Way to Explore the World

Why Being a “Type G Traveler” Is the Smartest Way to Explore the World

Meet the travel personality Filipinos are now talking about

Whether you're the kind who plans a trip months ahead or someone who throws clothes into a bag an hour before leaving for the airport, we all have our own travel styles. And just like fashion or food favorites, these habits say a lot about our travel personality. Most people tend to fall under the classic Type A or Type B categories but there’s a new kind of traveler rising fast in the Philippines: The Type G Traveler.

And honestly? It might just be the perfect travel personality for the modern Pinoy.

Type A: The Meticulous “May Backup for the Backup” Traveler

We all know a Type A traveler, the one who has color-coded itineraries, multiple contingency plans, and a packing list that looks like it belongs in a museum archive. Everything is calculated until real life kicks in. Flights get moved, luggage disappears, and plans shift because travel, no matter how controlled, is unpredictable.

But Type As aren’t wrong. Being prepared does save the day.

Type B: The Chill, “Bahala Na” Adventurer

On the other end of the spectrum are the Type B travelers, the spontaneous ones who thrive in “winging it.” They’re the friends who barely pack but still somehow manage to have the best stories. They are down for anything until something actually goes wrong.

When spontaneity meets sudden delays or emergencies, the fun stops unless there’s a safety net.

Type G: The GInsured Traveler Who Balances Chill and Prepared

Here’s where the Type G traveler comes in, a smart mix of the Type A planner and the Type B adventurer. Type Gs enjoy the thrill of travel without sacrificing peace of mind. They move freely, make spontaneous decisions, and try new things, but they also know that smart protection makes any trip smoother.

Type Gs get one thing right:

Whether you're super OA or super chill, being prepared for mishaps is what makes a trip truly relaxing.

And for them, the secret weapon is GInsure, GCash’s built-in travel protection that turns “OA” (over-acting) into “OK” (secure and worry-free).

Why Type G Travelers Stay Unbothered: GInsure Has Their Back

1. Medical Emergencies? Kaya ‘yan.

Nobody wants to deal with health issues abroad from twisted ankles during tours to catching something after a long flight.

With medical assistance of up to ₱2.5M, Type Gs travel confidently, knowing they’re protected even when the unexpected hits.

2. Lost or Delayed Luggage? Still Chill.

Pasalubong gone missing? Luggage delayed for hours?

Type Gs don’t sweat it. GInsure offers coverage for lost or delayed baggage, removing the stress from one of the most common travel problems.

3. Delayed or Cancelled Flights? No More Hassle.

Missed connections, ground delays, long layovers every Filipino traveler knows this pain.

The good news? You can purchase GInsure in as fast as five minutes, and even up to two hours before your flight. Perfect for last-minute planners and spontaneous fliers alike.

Affordable and Convenient Protection for Every Filipino Traveler

GInsure gives you up to ₱2.5 million in coverage for as low as ₱299.

No paperwork, no long forms, no complicated requirements, everything is done inside the GCash app. Easy, fast, and made for real traveler needs.

If you’ve ever said “Sana okay na ‘to” before boarding a plane, you’re exactly who Type G was made for.

It’s Time to Travel Smarter

You don’t need to give up your planning style to enjoy better trips. Whether you're a Type A, Type B, or somewhere in between, becoming a Type G Traveler means embracing adventure and security at the same time. With GInsure, you get protection that keeps every journey hassle-free and every moment more enjoyable.

Turn your OA into OK and start your next adventure the Type G way.

HUAWEI and Benilde Empower Young Filipino Artists with MatePad 11.5 (2025)

HUAWEI and Benilde Empower Young Filipino Artists with MatePad 11.5 (2025)

How HUAWEI and Benilde Are Powering the Next Generation of Filipino Artists

The future of art and technology just got more exciting for young creatives! HUAWEI has teamed up with De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde’s (DLS-CSB) renowned Multimedia Arts (MMA) Program to showcase how the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 (2025) transforms digital creativity and productivity. This collaboration takes center stage at “Art in Motion: The Moving Deadlines,” Benilde’s annual Halloween art showcase happening from October 28 to 30, 2025, at the Design + Arts Campus.

The partnership highlights how innovation can enhance creative education, equipping students with tools to tell stories, animate visuals, and design artworks that reflect Filipino ingenuity in the digital era.

Bringing Art, Motion, and Technology Together

According to Katrina Juane, Chairperson of DLS-CSB Multimedia Arts, the collaboration allows students to explore digital illustration and motion graphics using the MatePad 11.5 (2025). She noted that HUAWEI’s continued support fosters creativity, curiosity, and confidence among Benildean artists.

“We’ve seen firsthand how HUAWEI devices perform as reliable tools that empower students,” Juane said. “The MatePad bridges technical precision and artistic freedom, which is essential in nurturing creative talents.”

A Tablet Designed for Artists on the Go

The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 (2025) impressed Benilde students with its sleek, 6.1mm-thin, 515g metal unibody design. Lightweight yet durable, it fits easily into a student’s backpack ideal for those juggling classes, projects, and client work.

Its PaperMatte Display replicates the feel of real paper with anti-glare nano-etching, reducing reflections and eye strain while maintaining color accuracy. For students who spend hours illustrating or editing, this feature delivers a more natural and comfortable creative experience.

All-in-One Study and Productivity Companion

Students also discovered how the MatePad transforms academic life through WPS Office 2.0 and HUAWEI Notes.

WPS Office 2.0 offers laptop-level multitasking with spreadsheet, writing, and presentation tools that sync across devices.

HUAWEI Notes lets users annotate, record, and convert handwritten notes—making it a perfect study and brainstorming companion.

From managing coursework to pitching creative concepts, the MatePad proves that productivity and imagination can truly go hand in hand.

Creating Without Limits Through GoPaint

One of the highlights for Benilde’s young artists was HUAWEI’s GoPaint App, a free, pre-installed creative suite that comes with over 100 customizable brushes, advanced layer tools, and vivid color palettes.

Students loved how it mimics the feel of traditional painting—whether using watercolor, oil, or digital pen effects—while offering non-destructive editing and intuitive controls. As Juane shared, “The PaperMatte display and precise pen input make drawing feel authentic. For animation and layout work, it’s incredibly fluid and responsive.”

GoPaint bridges traditional artistry and digital mastery ideal for students experimenting with both hand-drawn and digital art techniques.

Built to Keep Up with Student Life

Beyond creativity, practicality also shines. The 10,100 mAh battery lasts all day, from morning classes to late-night design sessions. With 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge, downtime is minimal. The M-Pencil (3rd Gen) supports magnetic wireless charging, ensuring that tools are always ready when inspiration strikes.

“The MatePad is intuitive, durable, and reliable,” Juane added. “It’s not just a device, it’s a creative partner that complements our students’ artistic journey.”

Empowering a New Generation of Digital Storytellers

This partnership between HUAWEI and DLS-CSB goes beyond technology, it’s about empowering a new generation of Filipino storytellers to create fearlessly in a digital-first world. By integrating innovation into education, HUAWEI continues to champion young creatives and redefine how art and technology intersect.

The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 (2025) is now available for ₱21,999 on Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, HUAWEI Online Store, and HUAWEI Experience Stores nationwide.

Get a freebie bundle worth ₱11,998, which includes a Smart Keyboard (₱6,999) and PC-Level WPS Office suite (₱4,999) perfect for students and professionals ready to elevate their craft.
