HUAWEI is bringing smarter sports performance and proactive health management to the wrist with the HUAWEI WATCH GT 7 Series and HUAWEI WATCH D3, now available for pre-order in the Philippines starting at PHP 14,999.


HUAWEI WATCH GT 7 Series: Smarter Training Meets Premium Design



The HUAWEI WATCH GT 7 Series elevates the smartwatch experience through a combination of intelligent functionality, premium materials, and thoughtful design. Built with an aerospace-grade titanium alloy case and nanocrystal ceramic bezel, the series offers a refined and durable construction, while the Pro version features sapphire glass. HUAWEI also debuts its EasyCross strap, its first strap design of its kind, with a tuck-under structure that minimizes visual bulk and helps provide a secure, comfortable fit from morning to night.


Accurate and Comprehensive Sports and Health Tracking

The HUAWEI WATCH GT 7 Series combines intelligent positioning, fitness tracking, and wellness technology to provide a more comprehensive connected experience. Its Sunflower Positioning System, supported by AI-XDR Positioning, is designed to maintain precise GPS tracking even when temporary signal blockage occurs. Meanwhile, HUAWEI TruSense provides users with cardiovascular health insights and other key wellness metrics.

For active users, the smartwatch goes beyond basic activity tracking with advanced sports performance features and long-term wellness insights. The HUAWEI WATCH GT 7 Series supports more than 100 sports modes, ranging from advanced cycling plans to various outdoor sports, with activity-specific metrics that provide more detailed performance information.

The smartwatch also features the Diabetes Risk Study. On the HUAWEI WATCH GT 7 Pro, users can additionally access the Coronary Heart Disease Study.


AI That Gives Smarter Training with Battery That Keeps Up

The HUAWEI WATCH GT 7 Series uses AI-powered technology to make fitness data more meaningful, providing insights that can help users better understand their training and recovery. Through AI Workout Analysis¹, users can receive coaching and recovery insights after every session, while the Physical Readiness score helps indicate whether the body may be prepared for a more demanding workout or may need time to recover.

Beyond its intelligent fitness features, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 7 Series is built for long-lasting use with up to 21 days of battery life. Its compatibility with both iOS and Android also gives users greater flexibility when connecting the smartwatch to their preferred smartphone.


HUAWEI WATCH D3: Accurate 24/7 Blood Pressure Monitoring for Comprehensive Cardiovascular Health Management




With a focus on proactive cardiovascular wellness, the HUAWEI WATCH D3 combines advanced health monitoring with a slimmer and lighter design intended for comfortable everyday wear. It builds on HUAWEI’s experience in wrist-based Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) technology while introducing improvements for long-term monitoring.

The smartwatch provides a more comfortable 24-hour blood pressure monitoring experience, with an upgraded measurement schedule that reduces daily blood pressure inflations from 27 to only 7. Despite the reduced number of inflations, the HUAWEI WATCH D3 continues to deliver 24-hour monitoring through its ultra-narrow airbag strap and internationally tested measurement technology.

For a more comprehensive look at everyday wellness, Health Glance brings several health metrics together in one accessible interface. Additional capabilities include CE-certified ECG and PPG, advanced health research features focused on coronary heart disease and diabetes risk, and On-wrist Health Community, which supports greater connectivity around personal and family health management.


AI-Powered Insights for Everyday Health Management

The HUAWEI WATCH D3 is designed to support a more informed approach to everyday health management. 

Through Multi-dimensional Blood Pressure Reminders, Daily Blood Pressure Summary, and AI-powered Health Insights, the smartwatch transforms individual daily readings into broader health trends. This helps users develop a deeper awareness of their cardiovascular health and track patterns over time.

AirAsia Philippines, opens new path for Filipinos to explore Europe



AirAsia Philippines is strengthening its international connectivity by providing Filipino travelers with access to Istanbul via Kuala Lumpur, expanding travel possibilities beyond its core Asian network and toward destinations across Europe.

Through AirAsia’s Kuala Lumpur network, passengers from the Philippines can connect through Kuala Lumpur before continuing to Istanbul. The route provides an additional travel option for guests visiting Türkiye while also creating access to other European destinations through onward connections.

The connectivity is reinforced by AirAsia’s codeshare partnership with Pegasus Airlines, Türkiye’s largest low-cost carrier (LCC). The partnership allows travelers connecting through Kuala Lumpur to Istanbul to continue their journeys across an expanding network of European destinations.

“For many Filipinos traveling abroad is a lifelong goal. And Europe remains the quintessential dream destination. We recognize that high costs and complex visa processes can make European travel feel intimidating. As AirAsia Group expands its vision beyond ASEAN, our commitment remains the same - removing barriers and bringing these dream destinations closer to guests with our Fly-Thru service and partnership with Pegasus.” ~Anna Lu Victoria, AirAsia Philippines President and CEO

AirAsia’s Kuala Lumpur network provides Filipino travelers with onward connectivity from Istanbul to several European and regional destinations, including London, Moscow, Ankara, Zurich, and Athens, among others. The expanded network creates additional routing possibilities for passengers traveling from Southeast Asia to Europe.

The connectivity comes as more Filipinos look toward international destinations for leisure and cultural experiences, from visiting historic cities and discovering different cultures to pursuing long-planned European holidays.

AirAsia currently operates 12 flights weekly between Manila and Kuala Lumpur, while the Cebu–Kuala Lumpur service operates three times weekly. These routes provide access to AirAsia’s Kuala Lumpur hub, which serves as an important connecting point within the airline’s international network.

Further improving connectivity, AirAsia plans to increase its Kuala Lumpur–Istanbul (KUL-SAW) flights from four to seven times weekly by February 2027. The higher frequency will give travelers greater flexibility when planning connections between Southeast Asia and Europe.

The expanded services underscore AirAsia Philippines’ efforts to broaden international travel options for Filipino passengers, with an emphasis on making travel beyond Asia more accessible and affordable.

















About AirAsia Philippines
AirAsia is a leading low-cost carrier with licenses to operate in five Asean countries - Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines and Cambodia. Founded in 2001, AirAsia has stayed true to its purpose and tagline "Now Everyone Can Fly".

Today, as one of the largest airlines in the region, AirAsia is expanding to become the world's first global low-cost network carrier. It operates more than 250 aircraft and holds a significant orderbook for the next decade. AirAsia leads in sustainable aviation with green initiatives and a net zero target by 2050. In 2025, it avoided 135,788 tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2025 through 19 fuel efficiency initiatives, achieving US$30,939,120 in fuel savings and over US$2,715,767 in shadow carbon cost reductions.

Whether they’re here for business, spending a weekend in the city or staying a little longer, it’s about having more space, thoughtful privileges and the flexibility to make the most of their time with us.” ~Joe Xavier Fijardo, General Manager of Grand Westside Manila Bay



Adding to the Executive Escape experience are exclusive lounge and business privileges designed to make each stay more convenient. Guests can enjoy daily breakfast for two at the Executive Club Lounge, including freshly prepared à la minute dishes. Made-to-order selections feature classic omelettes and eggs Benedict, complemented by rotating sweet favourites such as pancakes, Belgian waffles, and brioche French toast.

Savoy Hotel Manila Highlights Filipino Hospitality With 2026 World Travel Awards Wins



The global hospitality spotlight once again turns to the Philippines as Savoy Hotel Manila takes home two major honors at the World Travel Awards 2026, earning the titles of Asia’s Leading Airport Hotel 2026 and Philippines’ Leading Airport Hotel 2026.

The latest wins represent the property’s sixth consecutive recognition in the Philippine category and its second award at the Asia level, adding to Savoy Hotel Manila’s record of recognition for airport hospitality.

According to Socrates “Sonny” Alvaro, Managing Director of Megaworld Global Hotels & Resorts, the achievement is an opportunity to introduce homegrown Filipino hotel brands to a broader international market. At the same time, it reinforces the group’s goal of consistently delivering the warmth and quality of Filipino hospitality across its portfolio of properties.

“What makes this recognition meaningful is that it puts a spotlight on what is already strong about our hospitality: the destinations we represent, the people behind every stay, and the genuine care Filipinos naturally extend to Guests. Our responsibility is to keep strengthening the systems, people, and service standards that allow these qualities to be experienced consistently across our hotels, while giving our brands greater visibility across more markets and channels.” ~Socrates “Sonny” Alvaro, Managing Director of Megaworld Global Hotels & Resorts



Filipino by Design, Competitive by Standard

Since earning Asia’s Leading Airport Hotel for the first time in 2021, Savoy Hotel Manila has continued to build its reputation in airport hospitality, securing the Philippines’ Leading Airport Hotel title every year since. Its 2026 recognition adds another regional milestone to a brand defined by operational consistency and a commitment to the Filipino guest experience.

A key part of that experience is the Sampaguita Brand of Service, which brings together the values of Love, Honor, Dignity, and Healing. These principles are embedded throughout Megaworld Global Hotels & Resorts through staff development and training, guest touchpoints, service standards, and daily hotel operations.

The framework provides a common foundation for service across the group while giving individual hotels the flexibility to express the identity of their respective destinations, including their local culture and communities.

As Megaworld Global Hotels & Resorts continues to grow its portfolio, sustaining this balance remains an important part of its hospitality approach: delivering a consistent standard of service while allowing each property to remain authentic to the destination and people it represents.


Taking the Savoy Brand to More Philippine Destinations

Today, the Savoy brand operates in Manila, Boracay, and Mactan, Cebu.

The expansion of Savoy Hotel in the Philippines will continue with two upcoming destinations: Savoy Hotel Capital Town in San Fernando, Pampanga, featuring 374 rooms within Megaworld’s 35.6-hectare Capital Town development, and Savoy Hotel Palawan, located in Paragua Coastown in San Vicente.




With more properties joining the brand, maintaining a consistent Savoy Hotel service experience becomes increasingly important. New hotels are expected to follow the same operating discipline and service culture that define the brand, while also adapting their guest offerings to the local character, culture, and setting of each destination.

The Savoy brand is part of Megaworld Global Hotels & Resorts, whose expanding portfolio now includes 16 hotels. MGHR is targeting nearly 12,000 hotel rooms across key Philippine destinations by 2032, reflecting its continued growth in the country's hospitality sector.

As the portfolio develops, MGHR is working to align its hotel operations, people development, service standards, and destination identities. This approach seeks to ensure that expansion in room capacity goes hand in hand with maintaining the quality and consistency of the guest experience.

For the group, building a larger hotel portfolio also means preserving the essence of Filipino hospitality—delivering a consistent service culture while allowing every property to create an experience that feels authentic to its destination.


Taking the Savoy Brand to More Philippine Destinations

Today, the Savoy brand operates in Manila, Boracay, and Mactan, Cebu.

Savoy Hotel is continuing its Philippine expansion with Savoy Hotel Capital Town in San Fernando, Pampanga and Savoy Hotel Palawan in Paragua Coastown, San Vicente. The Pampanga property will feature 374 rooms and form part of Megaworld’s expansive 35.6-hectare Capital Town development.

As the hotel brand grows into new destinations, maintaining its established service culture remains a key consideration. Each Savoy property is designed to follow a shared operating framework and service standards while adapting its guest experience to the distinctive qualities of the destination it serves.

Savoy Hotel is part of Megaworld Global Hotels & Resorts’ 16-hotel portfolio, with MGHR targeting nearly 12,000 hotel rooms by 2032 across major destinations in the Philippines.

To support this growth, MGHR continues to focus on the alignment of operations, employee development, service standards, and destination-specific experiences throughout its hotel portfolio. The strategy aims to make sure that an increase in room inventory is matched by the continued delivery of a consistent and meaningful guest experience.

For MGHR, the expansion represents more than adding new hotels and rooms. It is also about ensuring that each property reflects the warmth of Filipino hospitality while creating an experience that remains relevant to its location, local culture, and guests.
