VinFast Evo: Built for Filipino Students and Young Professionals

VinFast Evo, one of VinFast E-Motorcycle’s first product lineup for the Philippines, makes a strong case as an entry-level two-wheeler of choice for Filipino students and young professionals. Built with an ecosystem designed for first-time e-motorcycle owners, VinFast Evo entered the market as a practical and reliable mobility solution that can rival its 110cc–125cc gas scooter counterparts. 

Automatic scooters, which accounted for 655,004 units sold,  remain the default two-wheeler ride for Filipino students and young professionals — practical, affordable, and built for the daily grind. University, a first job, daily errands, casual evenings out — the average Filipino student or young professional isn't juggling one thing, they're juggling all of them. Their ride doesn't need to do one extraordinary thing; it needs to keep up with the whole list. The VinFast Evo enters that segment conversation as an all-electric alternative designed to meet the same demands, without the fuel costs and emissions that come with them.

Tiny Titan Domination: Vinfast VF3 Is The Best-Selling Bev Model In The Philippines

VinFast VF 3, the best-selling electric mini-SUV of VinFast Philippines, has claimed the top spot in the local BEV segment after recording 2,906 units sold from January to August 2026 according to the CAMPI report. 

Dubbed as the “Tiny Titan,” the VF 3 asserted its popularity among first-time Filipino EV owners looking for compact and practical vehicles. Already gaining strong traction before recent oil price hikes, the VF 3 saw demand surge during the global energy uncertainty as volatile domestic fuel prices pushed Filipino motorists towards cost-efficient mobility options.

Caring for the Mind, Caring for the Body: OGAWA Marks Mental Health Awareness Month

Mental health is the foundation of our well-being. When our minds are well, our physiological condition benefits, too. To stay in optimal condition, it is imperative that we nurture our minds to build a strong foundation and maintain a healthy quality of life. OGAWA Philippines joins the country in commemorating National Mental Health Awareness Month, reinforcing its pledge to support holistic wellness and the importance of prioritizing our mental well-being. 

“This October, OGAWA is celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month with the rest of the country. Our massage chairs and other wellness products are made for everyday use because we want people to integrate mental wellness into their daily lives. We hope that more people prioritize their mental well-being not just this month, but every day,” said Shey Agustin, marketing executive of OGAWA Philippines.

Beyond a healthy diet and an active lifestyle, massage chairs are a powerful tool for achieving mental fitness and clarity. OGAWA’s massage programs reduce stress levels by 60% and anxiety by 45%, according to a joint study by OGAWA and Universiti Sains Malaysia. The study shows that massage chairs provide more than a physical experience. They also provide mental relief and help alleviate daily pressures.
