HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY, 'DORAEMON' CHRISTMAS
There’s something magical about the holidays when they’re shared across generations. For me, that magic came in the form of Doraemon — the blue, time-traveling cat I first discovered through my now 28-year-old son, who couldn't get enough of Nobita’s adventures. This year, Mitsukoshi brings that same warmth and nostalgia to life, turning its Christmas tree and entire mall into a celebration of family, friendship, and timeless stories.

Filipino tech is a matter of survival
I write this as someone who has lived the difficult journey of building local technology in a country where foreign companies often dominate the landscape. I have seen how global platforms can shape entire industries and control who rises and who falls. I have seen how digital systems created elsewhere can decide prices, dictate terms and define the rules of competition even on our own soil. And I have seen how much harder it is for Filipino entrepreneurs to grow when the playing field is tilted toward giants with endless capital and virtually unlimited reach.
