Manila, Philippines — HUAWEI, the no. 1 smart wearable brand, introduces powerful smartwatch-level features at a band price point with the HUAWEI Band 11 and HUAWEI Band 11 Pro. Designed to feel almost invisible on the wrist, they deliver a new kind of smart wearable: one that blends ultra-light comfort with smartwatch-level capability, without demanding attention or effort from the user.
Built for modern routines that move from desk to workout to rest, the HUAWEI Band 11 Series sets a new standard for all-day wear. Its refined form proves that powerful technology doesn’t need to feel bulky.
Invisible Comfort with All-Day Wearability
Experience true all-day wearability with the HUAWEI Band 11 Series, the thinnest band in the market. It has an 8.99 mm profile—about as thin as four one-peso coins—and a featherlight weight that is as light as 16 grams and a maximum of 18 grams. The band is designed to sit so comfortably on the wrist that it feels almost invisible, adapting effortlessly to every moment of your day, 24/7.
Despite its slim form, the HUAWEI Band 11 Series features a striking 1.62-inch AMOLED display that’s 27% larger than its predecessor. Enhanced widgets and a refined UI layout make information clearer and easier to navigate at a glance. This means post-workout stats, sleep charts, and heart rate trends are more readable, notifications are less cramped, and you don’t need to scroll endlessly to get the insights you need. With brightness reaching up to 2,000 nits, your stats remain easy to read, even under harsh outdoor sunlight.
Paired with soft, skin-friendly, and sweat-resistant straps and quick-release strap options, the HUAWEI Band 11 Series is designed for continuous comfort and a barely-there feel.
Phone-Free Movement with Smartwatch-Level Performance
Built for users who move with intention, the HUAWEI Band 11 Series proves that a thin and light wearable can deliver pro-level performance. With support for over 100 sports modes and precise and accurate GPS, users can leave their phones behind while still tracking accurate routes, pace, and distance during runs, cycling sessions, and outdoor workouts. The AI Running Plan adds structure through performance prediction and training index insights, guiding users on how hard to push and when to recover. Meanwhile, the auto-detect function automatically recognizes your movement patterns and records your data as you exercise.
The HUAWEI Band 11 Pro comes with exclusive features that further elevate the band experience. Equipped with Independent GPS (GNSS), it uses a built-in antenna that accurately tracks the users’ outdoor routes. Runners can take precision to the next level with Track Run Mode, which allows lane selection for stadium-level accuracy and automatic correction of GPS drift. Wrist-based Running Posture Analysis provides insight into biomechanics, such as ground contact time and vertical oscillation, to help you refine form and reduce injury risk. Auto-detect and auto-pause functions further refine your data by ensuring rest time doesn’t skew performance results.
Beyond running, the all-in-one fitness companion supports most sports—from open-water swimming to recovery-focused sessions. Switch between numerous sports or track a full training week. The HUAWEI Band 11 Series delivers reliable, data-driven insights without adding bulk, friction, or dependence on your phone.
Wellness That Works Quietly in the Background
The HUAWEI Band 11 Series also delivers a deeper, more meaningful approach to sleep. Powered by upgraded sleep tracking, the band monitors overnight rest with wrist-based sleep breathing awareness, intuitive sleep Gantt charts, and nap summaries that assess whether daytime naps are helping or hindering recovery.
By tracking sleep patterns continuously and quietly through the night, it helps users understand how rest, stress, and recovery connect without requiring extra effort or constant check-ins.
The HUAWEI Band 11 Series expands wellness tracking to include all-day Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and CE-certified Pulse Wave Arrhythmia Analysis. These features offer broader insights into how the body responds to stress and recovers over time. They work passively in the background, delivering gentle alerts and easy-to-read summaries that inform users of their overall heart health.
HUAWEI Band 11 Series’ wellbeing features extend beyond the physical with Emotional Wellbeing 2.0, which translates daily stress and mood into 12 emotional categories for a more intuitive check-in. The device also thoughtfully integrated women’s health tracking with a clean monthly calendar view that makes cycle tracking easier to manage and understand.
Zero Anxiety Living, Powered to Keep Up
The HUAWEI Band 11 Series is built for days that don’t slow down and weekends that stretch even further. Even with advanced features, HUAWEI didn’t compromise on battery power. Thanks to its new high-silicon battery technology, the band stays reliably active for up to 14 days. When it’s time to recharge, a quick recharge gets it back to full, powering the user for their next active adventure, long workweeks, spontaneous road trips, or weekend getaways without packing a charger.
Beyond endurance, the HUAWEI Band 11 Series supports a seamless lifestyle that keeps everyday routines moving smoothly, even when your phone is tucked inside your pocket.. A quick coffee stop run becomes just as effortless with GCash Watch Pay, which allows QR payments on the go. Smart notifications, quick replies, and remote camera shutter features further enhance daily productivity—whether you’re on Android or iOS.
A smarter, lighter, and more intuitive fitness tracking experience is arriving in the Philippines soon. Stay tuned for the HUAWEI Band 11 and HUAWEI Band 11 Pro, and visit the HUAWEI Online Store (HUAWEI Band 11), HUAWEI Online Store (HUAWEI Band 11 Pro), Shopee, Lazada, or TikTok and be among the first to discover a smarter and lighter way to move, rest, and recharge right from your wrist.

BPI launches its new Debit Mastercard made from 100% recycled,
PVCfree plastic—promoting more sustainable everyday banking.
The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has launched its new Debit Mastercard made from 100% recycled, PVCfree plastic, reinforcing the bank’s push for more sustainable banking solutions.
The new Debit Mastercard is free for clients who open an account through a BPI branch, as well as for existing clients whose cards are nearing expiry or due for renewal. Clients who wish to switch to the new recycled, PVC-free card outside of their renewal schedule may do so for a standard Php 200 replacement fee.
BPI is among the leading issuers of debit cards in the country, with over 8.2 million debit cardholders nationwide. The launch of the new eco-friendly BPI Debit Mastercard makes another milestone in the bank’s drive to offer Filipinos more responsible and future-ready financial solutions.
“Reimagining the BPI Debit Mastercard to become an eco-friendly card is a testament to BPI’s commitment to its values of sustainability and innovation. At BPI, we want to connect more with our eco-conscious clients while also encouraging others to practice sustainable habits. By using sustainable materials for our card, we hope to make sustainable behavior the default option for everyone,” said Jenny Lacerna, Head of Mass Retail, BPI.
Clients can request the new card through the BPI app or BPI online and selecting their preferred branch for pickup. A Php 200 fee applies to all card requests made through these digital channels. Those replacing an existing card only need to block their current one in the BPI app to start the replacement process. Cards are available for pickup at any BPI branch within two to six banking days, depending on location. Clients may also visit any branch for assistance.
Beyond sustainability, the card also features thoughtful design enhancements—including a curved notch at the bottom left corner that helps users identify and orient their card by touch, improving accessibility and making it easier to distinguish from other cards.
With the new card, BPI Debit Mastercard holders can continue to enjoy the trusted convenience and security they rely on—secure payments online, in-store, and abroad; contactless transactions; easy access to cash via ATMs worldwide; and 24/7 account control through the BPI app.
“The BPI Debit Mastercard is still the same card that our clients rely on—stylish, secure, and now more sustainable,” added Lacerna.
Through innovations like the eco-friendly Debit Mastercard, BPI continues to champion sustainability while delivering practical, inclusive, and accessible banking solutions for Filipinos.

Established in 1996, FPIP is a 500+ hectare special economic zone located in CALABARZON and is host to global leaders across sectors such as aerospace, automotive, consumer goods, electronics, medical devices, and office equipment.

If your group chats have quietly rebranded themselves into “Siargao 2.0” or “Japan 2026,” that’s usually the cue: summer planning has officially begun. Flights are being shared. Leave credits are being filed. Outfit mood boards are slowly taking shape.
But here’s what’s different in 2026: trips don’t feel like spontaneous splurges anymore, they feel intentional.
According to recent findings, Millennials and Gen Z travelers aren’t just spending on travel. They’re planning earlier, booking more deliberately, and mapping out itineraries months ahead.
Vacations are being treated as something to build toward, not just swipe for. Financial preparation is becoming part of the process, right alongside Pinterest boards and shared spreadsheets.
That’s where Maya — the country’s #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform — fits naturally into the picture. Because as the plans take shape, the travel fund should too.
Build the Fund Before You Book
Stress-free travelers don’t start saving two weeks before takeoff. They build dedicated funds early.
Whether it’s a cherry blossom reset, a long-overdue European milestone trip, or simply a beach escape, more users are setting up travel funds through Maya Personal Goals and contributing gradually over time. Instead of mixing airfare with grocery money, they separate everyday spending from future plans, ensuring rent money stays rent money, while travel money grows steadily in the background.
With Maya Personal Goals, users can create up to five separate savings targets and start earning 4% interest per annum immediately. Every ₱20,000 added boosts the interest rate, reaching up to 8% p.a. on deposits of up to ₱100,000, making it easier to grow funds faster without disrupting daily expenses.
Spend Strategically, Not Impulsively
Planning doesn’t mean stopping spending. It means making every spend work harder.
By keeping funds in Maya Savings and using Maya for everyday transactions, users can grow their savings while managing regular expenses. With up to 15% interest per annum and interest credited daily, your money doesn’t just sit, it grows consistently, day after day.
Spending, meanwhile, can also be strategic. The Maya Black Credit Card earns instant Maya Miles on all transactions: from flights and hotel bookings to groceries, bills, dining, and more. At Maya Black Preferred merchants, cardholders can earn up to 10X Maya Miles, helping rewards accumulate faster on select purchases.
Those Miles can later be used to offset future travel expenses, turning routine spending into practical value.
Frequent flyers also receive complimentary quarterly global lounge access, a tangible perk that upgrades departure days without the typical premium card fees. Globally accepted and designed for a digital-first lifestyle, the card complements how modern travelers move: cashless, connected, and prepared.
Even pre-trip dinners can work in your favor. Using the Maya Credit Card at participating restaurants gives up to 20% cashback straight to your Maya wallet, helping stretch budgets without cutting back on the send-off moments that make trips memorable.
Because optimizing spending doesn’t mean sacrificing joy. It means making it sustainable.
Summer memories feel better when they aren’t financed by future stress. So go ahead, book the flight, build the Pinterest board, plan the itinerary. Just make sure your travel fund is growing while you do.
