Make Summer Brighter: Easy Family Fun Ideas with Anko’s Must-Have Seasonal Essentials

Manila, Philippines — The countdown to summer has officially begun. With no alarms to beat and no homework to finish, families are getting ready for sunny days filled with swim trips, picnic snacks, and backyard games that turn ordinary afternoons into memorable bonding moments.

To welcome the season, Australian home and lifestyle brand Anko introduces a fresh collection of affordable and practical summer essentials designed for the way Filipino families enjoy their time together. Whether heading out for a quick adventure or staying close to home, these easy summer ideas can help make every day more exciting.

A spontaneous swim day at the beach or pool is one of the simplest ways to beat the heat. Keeping kids safe and confident in the water is key, and a reliable Swim Vest supports young swimmers while they build confidence. Families can also turn pool time into playtime with the 4-Pack of Dive Fish for fun underwater treasure hunts. After a splash session, Hooded Cotton Beach Towels help kids dry off comfortably, while a Turkish Cotton Beach Towel creates a relaxing space for parents to unwind. Snack breaks stay neat and colorful with Pastel Tumblers, Plates, and Bowls, all easily carried in the waterproof EVA Tote Bag.

For families who prefer something more laid-back, a shady park picnic is another great way to spend the afternoon. The 2-in-1 Bag and Mat makes setup quick and convenient, while the Picnic Table keeps snacks steady even on grass. Cold drinks stay refreshing with the Retro Cooler, and Large Food Containers help keep meals organized. Parents can relax on the Blue Stripe Chair as kids stay active with the Catch Ball Set. Even pets can join the outing with the Toy Novelty Cooling Set.

Fun does not always require travel. Backyards can easily become mini adventure zones with simple play items like the Rainbow Twirl Ribbon, Foam Glider, and Aerospace Power Rocket. Friendly competitions using the Archery Set or Skip Ball keep children engaged, while younger kids enjoy imaginative play with the Truck Adventure Set. A sweet ending with the Ice Cream Bowl and Spoon Set makes playtime even more special.

With Anko’s summer collection, families can create joyful moments through everyday experiences. These seasonal essentials are available for a limited time at Anko stores in Ayala Malls Glorietta 2, TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, Manila Bay, and Feliz.

Palo Alto Networks Introduces the Most Secure Workspace for Small Business

Manila, Philippines – Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced the launch of Prisma Browser for Business, the most secure workspace for small businesses. This new offering enables small business owners to easily configure and manage the apps and AI tools their business relies on, while allowing employees to work securely from any device, anywhere. Prisma Browser for Business also protects against phishing, ransomware, and fraud threats and provides built-in AI controls to prevent business information from ending up in the wrong hands.

Today, small businesses depend on an average of 36 applications running in the browser, which is where most work gets done. However, with 95% of companies experiencing a security incident originating in the browser, the need for a secure workspace has never been greater. At the same time, employees are rapidly adopting AI, making it harder than ever for small businesses to tame the workspace chaos, keep their business protected, and prevent unintended AI actions.

Anupam Upadhyaya, SVP of Product, Palo Alto Networks

“For most small businesses, the browser is now the office. It’s where you interact with customers, manage your books, and use new AI tools to help grow your business. But standard browsers weren't built to stop modern cyberattacks or prevent AI data leaks. We’re providing small businesses with the same protection used by the world's largest enterprises, but in an easy-to-use, simple to manage workspace with flexible and accessible pricing for any small business.”

Prisma Browser for Business is a secure workspace designed for small businesses to:
  • Streamline the workspace: Easily configure and manage the apps and AI tools teams rely on to work securely from any device, anywhere.
  • Protect the business: Block AI-powered phishing, ransomware, and fraud threats before they harm the business.
  • Control AI actions: Enable teams to leverage AI for productivity, while preventing business information from ending up in the wrong hands.
Anurag Agrawal, Analyst, TechAisle

As the global leader in cybersecurity, Palo Alto Networks processes billions of threats daily for the world’s largest companies. Now that same enterprise-grade protection is made available in a secure workspace designed for small businesses.

Prisma Browser for Business is available today in the United States. Start the 30-day free trial and in just four clicks, enable teams to work seamlessly while keeping the business protected and AI under control.

Enchanted Kingdom Celebrates the Return of Its Legendary Wheel of Fate With Magic and Nostalgia

Enchanted Kingdom, the first and only world-class theme park in the Philippines, proudly celebrated the official return of its legendary ride, the Wheel of Fate, as the highlight of The Legend Shines Again campaign last March 21.

Following the theme park’s successful 30th anniversary celebration last October, its signature ferris wheel ride took a four-month break to make way for enhancements, which include a fresh thematic look, smoother ride experience, and updated ride system technology.

This is part of EK’s ongoing revitalization of its existing facilities and iconic rides to ensure that their longevity and legacy can be sustained for the years to come.

Regarded as one of the longest-standing rides of its kind in the country, the Wheel of Fate has been bringing magical experiences to countless Filipinos since EK opened its gates in 1995. It eventually grew into a crowd favorite among its multigenerational guests, especially with families and friends.

This towering ride lifts guests 130 feet above the ground, showcasing the breathtaking view of its home city, Santa Rosa. Aside from this, it also elevates the EK experience by illuminating the whole park, especially at night.

The Legend Shines Again! Wheel of Fate Relaunch

The official relaunch of the Wheel of Fate on March 21 featured spectacular performances, with EK’s very own P-pop girl group SMS launching their new song, The Legend Shines Again, and OPM band The Bloomfields serenading the crowd with timeless hits.

The cast of Viva One’s My Husband is a Mafia Boss also made a special appearance to unveil the show’s photobooth installation. Meanwhile, the youth-led organization Lion City Youth Inc. surprised parkgoers with a teaser for Hello Santa Rosa, their flagship tourism program launching this year in collaboration with EK.

The ride’s relaunching ceremony was graced by Santa Rosa City Mayor Arlene B. Arcillas, along with EK Chief Operating Officer Cynthia R. Mamon, Ph.D., and Head of Integrated Marketing Nico R. Mamon.

Serving as the festivities’ enchanting finale were the Sky Wizardry Fireworks Display and a flash mob led by the EK Storyverse characters.

The Wheel of Fate is now available for guests to enjoy during the Park’s operational days from 12PM to 8PM, alongside EK’s other attractions and experiences.

Vivo V70 x POP MART Zsiga Flip Card Turns Your Lock Screen Into a Living Canvas

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — For fans of POP MART and its free-spirited icon Zsiga, self-expression has always been part of the appeal. Now, that same bold personality finds a new digital form with the Vivo V70, transforming your lock screen into a moving canvas that responds to your every tilt.

Introducing the Vivo V70 x POP MART Zsiga Exclusive Flip Card, a creative feature designed to make everyday phone interactions more playful and personal. Powered by the device’s built-in gyroscope, the Flip Card reacts in real time as you move your phone, shifting visuals smoothly across different angles. The result is a lock screen experience that feels dynamic and interactive, almost as if your device has a personality of its own.

With a simple tilt, Zsiga comes alive on your screen. Each movement reveals a new expression and perspective, turning something as routine as unlocking your phone into a moment of creativity. Rather than being just a static display, the Flip Card creates an immersive visual story that evolves with your motion.

Accessing the Zsiga Flip Card is simple. Users can activate the feature by going to Settings, selecting “Home screen, lock screen and wallpaper,” tapping “Themes,” and choosing “Flip cards.” In just a few steps, your device becomes a showcase of animated personality and style.

The customization experience does not stop there. The Vivo V70 also introduces the AI Magic Weather feature, allowing users to capture portraits enhanced by four lighting moods: Morning Glow, Clear Sky, Evening Glow, and Twilight. By uploading these portraits under Gallery Effect in Flip Cards and arranging them in sequence, users can create a lock screen that transitions naturally from day to night as the phone tilts.

This combination of motion-responsive visuals and AI-enhanced personalization highlights how the Vivo V70 blends technology with artistic expression. The Zsiga Flip Card feature delivers a playful yet meaningful way to stand out, reminding users that even small everyday interactions can feel special.

For Zsiga fans and those who enjoy personalizing their devices, the Vivo V70 offers a unique experience worth exploring. Available starting at Php 31,999, the smartphone can be purchased at Vivo stores nationwide or through the Vivo e-store, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. Tilt it, flip it, and express your style with the Vivo V70.
