The Tourism Promotions Board (TPB) Philippines was recognized as one of the Most Improved Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) during the inaugural Governance Awards Ceremony hosted by the Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG) held at the PICC Complex yesterday, November 20.


The GCG lauded TPB’s significant strides in its corporate performance; registering a validated performance scorecard rating of 94.90% for 2022 which covers key performance indicators in its marketing operations, customer service, finance management, internal process, learning and growth, and stakeholder relations.


TPB Chief Operating Officer Maria Margarita Montemayor Nograles expressed her gratitude upon receiving the accolade, “This award signifies a monumental milestone in our journey, a testament to the steadfast commitment of TPB to delivering exceptional service and elevating its operations and services in heralding the Filipino brand of service.”


The recognition underscores TPB’s dedication to transparency, efficiency and continuous enhancement in its operations. Aside from this award, the TPB has earned multiple recognitions including Best NTO Award at the TTG Travel Awards, National Tourism Initiative of the Year for PHITEX 2022 at the 2023 GOV Media Awards, and named Sustainability Leader of the Year for the second year in a row by Tripzilla.




The award comes on the heels of record-breaking sales for several trade fairs in the Philippines and abroad, the release of the Travel Philippines app, and mounting, supporting or participating in over 200 events, tours, programs and business missions locally and internationally.


The GCG is the central advisory, oversight and monitoring agency of all government owned and controlled corporations in the Philippines under Republic Act 10149 otherwise known as the GOCC Governance Act of 2011. This is the very first Governance Awards Ceremony, which aimed to recognize exemplary practices and outstanding performance rating among GOCCs.



Internet at your fingertips. A camera in your pocket. And then, artificial intelligence improving your everyday life. 

Samsung Galaxy helped democratize internet access and turned cameras into a communication tool we can’t live without. Even as all eyes are on AI, some of its best benefits haven’t come to mobile technology yet. Galaxy is about to change that. 

No company can harness AI’s potential like Galaxy. Why? Because only Galaxy puts the power of openness in the palm of your hand. Designed to empower everyone, everywhere, Galaxy AI is universal intelligence on your phone as you’ve never seen it before. In all the places it matters most — from barrier-free communication, to simplified productivity, to unconstrained creativity — we’re unleashing new possibilities. 

Galaxy AI is a comprehensive mobile AI experience, powered by both on-device AI developed at Samsung and cloud-based AI enabled by our open collaborations with like-minded industry leaders. It will transform your everyday mobile experience with the peace of mind you count on from Galaxy security and privacy.

For a tiny glimpse of one benefit Galaxy AI will enable, look no further than the very thing our phones were originally created to do, calling each other. AI Live Translate Call will soon give users with the latest Galaxy AI phone a personal translator whenever they need it. Because it’s integrated into the native call feature, the hassle of having to use third-party apps is gone. Audio and text translations will appear in real-time as you speak, making calling someone who speaks another language about as simple as turning on closed captions when you stream a show. Because it’s on-device Galaxy AI, you can trust that no matter the scenario, private conversations never leave your phone. 

Coming early next year, Galaxy AI will bring us closer to a world where some of the most common barriers to social connection dissolve, and communication is easier and more productive than ever. 

That’s AI changing the world and your life for the better. 

“Mobile technology has an incredible power to enable connection, productivity, creativity and more for people around the world, but until now, we haven’t seen mobile AI ignite that in truly meaningful ways,” said Wonjoon Choi, EVP and Head of R&D, Mobile eXperience Business. “Galaxy AI is our most comprehensive intelligence offering to date, and it will change how we think about our phones forever.” 

Breakthrough experiences that empower real connection and open up new possibilities right from your phone. That’s Galaxy’s promise. 

This is just a glimpse of what’s to come. Life opens up with Galaxy, so get ready for a new era of mobile AI. 



Ipinaranas ng lokal na pamahalaan ng Muntinlupa sa mga batang estudyante mula sa iba’t ibang paaralan sa Lunsod ang buhay ng isang public servant sa pagdiriwang ng Boys and Girls Week 2023.



Every year, we celebrate the Boys and Girls Week through a program called “Little Officials,” kung saan ini-immerse natin ang mga kabataan sa trabaho sa gobyerno,” saad ni Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon sa kaniyang official Facebook page.

Sa pagbubukas nasabing programa nitong lunes, Nobyembre 6, 2023, pinangunahan ng mga Little Boys and Girls Officials ang Pagtataas ng Watawat sa Muntinlupa City Hall Quadrangle. Dito ay ibinahagi din nila ang kanilang mga adhikain para sa kanilang kapwa bata.

Nakakatuwang makita ang Little Officials natin, pati yung mga nagsalita at nagbahagi ng plataporma nila during the flag raising ceremony,” dagdag ni Mayor Biazon.

Nasa 55 pampubliko at pampribadong institusyon ang lumahok sa taong ito. Ang mga paaralan ay itinalaga sa apat na “districts.” Ang districts 1 at 2 ay para sa public elementary schools, ang district 3 ay para sa private elementary schools, at ang district 4 naman ay para sa mga estudyante sa high school level.

Sa pagdiriwang ng National Children’s Month na may tema ngayong taon na “Healthy, Nourished, Sheltered: Ensuring the Right to Life for All,” inilunsad ng Youth Affairs and Sports Development Office (YASDO) sa pamumuno ni Ms. Cynthia Viacrusis, ang mga activities ng Boys and Girls Week 2023, kasabay ng regular na pagtataas ng watawat sa City Hall Quadrangle. Layunin ng selebrasyon na kilalanin ang mga bata bilang pinakamahalagang yaman ng bansa at bigyang-diin ang kanilang tungkulin sa pamilya at lipunan—alinsunod sa R.A. 10661 o ang National Children's Month Act of 2015.

Ang mga nahalal na little officials ay sina: Little Congressman Sandler S. Santillan, Little Mayor Alodia Shane M. Sumawang, and Little Vice Mayor Gabriel P. Gonzalo of District 1; Little Congressman Raven James B. Bernardo, Little Mayor Jorainza Lei D. Ramirez, and Little Vice Mayor Analyn D. Tapian of District 2; Little Congressman Martin Ezekiel Zaballero, Little Mayor Francelle Arien Balicat, Little Vice Mayor Casey Andrei C. Reyes of District 3; and Little Congressman Maya Celine Bugaling, Little Mayor Nathan Lopena, and Little Vice Mayor Samantha Marie Diloy of District 4.

Ayon sa Muntinlupa Public Information Office (PIO), sa loob ng isang araw, mararanasan nilang maging leader ng lungsod, aattend ng meetings, mag-oobserve sa mga proseso sa opisina, at makikihalubilo sa mga constituents na bumibisita sa tanggapan. 

Dagdag pa ng Muntinlupa PIO, layon ng programa na i-expose ang mga kabataan sa good governance para makatulong sa paghubog sa kanila bilang responsableng mamamayan.

Mula Nobyembre 6 hanggang 9, ang bawat Little Official ng bawat "district" ay uupo sa opisina ng isang buong araw kung saan natutuhan at naranasan nila mismo ang mga gawain ng mga opisyal ng lokal na pamahalaan, ehekutibo, lehislatibo, at maging sa sangay ng hudikatura.

Panoorin at kilalanin ang ilang Little Officials at alamin ang kanilang mga naging karanasan sa "CityTok" livestream.  

Maaari ding mapanood ang iba pang videos tungkol sa mga Little Officials sa official FB page ng City Government of Muntinlupa at Mayor Ruffy Biazon.

Ayon sa Muntinlupa PIO, ang Boys and Girls Week ay proyekto ng City Government of Muntinlupa na naglalayong maparanas sa mga batang estudyante ang pang araw araw na trabaho sa serbisyo sibil at magbigay ng inspirasyon sa kanila na maging community leaders. Ito ay inumpisahan ni dating Vice Mayor Jimmy Fresnedi sa termino ni dating Mayor Ignacio "Toting" Bunye. (PR/PIA-NCR)

1DTI Fair Trade Permit No. FTEB-179469 Series of 2023




 Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today introduced Auto Blocker, a new security tool for Samsung Galaxy users designed to keep their devices protected in the way that best fits their lifestyle. 


Recently released on One UI 6 as part of Samsung Galaxy’s expanded arsenal of security and privacy innovations, Auto Blocker is an opt-in package of additional security measures that gives users more choice as they explore the customizations enabled by Samsung Galaxy’s open ecosystem. 


Putting the Choice in Users’ Hands


“At Samsung we constantly strive to keep our users safe from security attacks, and with the introduction of Auto Blocker users can continue to enjoy the benefits of our open ecosystem, knowing that their mobile experience is secured,” said Dr. Seungwon Shin, EVP & Head of Security Team, Mobile eXperience Business at Samsung Electronics. “We always seek to empower our users to choose for themselves what best suits their needs – rather than us deciding on their behalf, and Auto Blocker is no exception to that.”


One of Auto Blocker’s features is the prevention of app installations from unauthorized sources, known as sideloading. There are many benefits to intentional sideloading, such as enhanced customization and control over a device’s functionality. Those who love to safely sideload will experience no change as the feature is off by default. For those not in the habit of sideloading or extensive customization, activating Auto Blocker can provide additional peace of mind by stalling the rise of social engineering attacks like voice phishing, where attackers could talk users into installing malicious software. 



Auto Blocker has a range of additional controls, including turning on app security checks to help detect potential malware and prevent harmful commands and software installations by USB cable. This can help protect users in a situation where someone has physical access to their device, like when charging a phone at an airport.


With this feature also comes an update to Message Guard, which mitigates Zero Click attacks, or direct image messages hiding malicious code. Initially launched for messaging apps from Google and Samsung, it now can help protect users using popular third party apps. This way, users have greater choice over the apps they can safely use.


Pushing the Industry Forward with New Security Standards


Samsung sets the foundation for a safer, more secure mobile experience for Galaxy users, and Auto Blocker takes this one step further by combining industry-leading security standards with user choice to allow customers to control their device their way. As the latest feature to be added to Samsung’s suite of security and privacy innovations, Auto Blocker further optimizes the mobile experience for users across the Galaxy ecosystem.


Auto Blocker is available now on Samsung Galaxy devices compatible with One UI 6.
