Make the most out of your life in Manila with these UNSTPPBL experiences!

Living in Manila is home to plenty of experiences to discover. Sometimes, you get overwhelmed with a lot of options that you end up lounging around during the weekend, wasting days wondering.

Luckily, GOMO — a digital telco — offers UNSTPPBL experiences that you can try by converting your ‘Mo Creds through the GOMO app.

That said, here are the best experiences you can try in Manila, based on your Zodiac Sign.

If you’re an Earth Sign… (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

Earth signs have this practical, grounded vibe that make them want to solve problems and offer solutions. The way their mind is wired make them great at activities that require foresight, planning, and strategizing.

The Bouldering Hive, also known as B-Hive, is an indoor rock climbing gym located in Circuit Makati.  Using your ‘Mo Creds, you can get a 1-day pass with rental shoes package, for only 15GB.

Earth signs can enjoy bouldering, rock climbing, and figuring out a way to complete all lanes — and not giving up until they make it to the top.

The 1-day pass voucher is valid for eligible GOMO subscribers, and exclusive to new users of The Bouldering Hive.

If you’re an Air Sign… (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)

Air signs tend to go with the flow or take the unconventional route. While everyone is in their running and gym era, air signs can benefit in joining fitness classes that utilize music to keep the vibe going.

Ride Revolution, for instance, is an indoor cycling studio that offers a 45-minute high-intensity and full-body workout. Heart-thumping music serves as the backdrop as you push your body.

You can enjoy a PhP 300 voucher for 15GB that you can use on your next class package. Each voucher is valid for new and existing Ride Revolution members.

If spinning isn’t your jam, Zero Studio and 808 Studio offer dance classes with swappable credits starting at 2.5GB.

If you’re a Fire Sign… (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)

Competition is real when it comes to fire signs! By nature, they’re spirited, highly energetic, and always want that blaze of glory.

If you’re a fire sign, take your fitness level up a notch by taking on Spartan Race Philippines. For 10GB, you can get a 10% discount voucher on your next obstacle course race competition.

Lift a 50KG ball-shaped stone, conquer 8-foot walls, and pass through monkey bars and barbed wires. The race is yours for taking!

If you’re a Water Sign… (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)

Water signs feel everything too deeply, that sometimes, they get misunderstood. For when you’re overwhelmed with emotions, it’s best to boost your mood by going to the gym and trying out facilities near you.

Surge Fitness + Lifestyle offers 10% discount voucher on your monthly membership fee for only 10GB, and comes with a free 3D scan service.

Anytime Fitness also offers PhP 300 off on your monthly membership fee for only 10GB. Just drop by any Anytime Fitness branch near you and present your unique voucher code.

The vouchers are applicable to new members only.

Check out for yourself all the UNSTPPBL experiences that GOMO has to offer when you make the switch. Order a 5G-ready SIM and have it delivered straight to your doorstep at gomo.ph.

TicNote AI recorder launches in the Philippines

AI-powered transcription, translation, insights, more

Mobvoi has officially launched TicNote, its AI-powered note-taking device in the Philippines for PhP 9,499. The thin and lightweight recorder is currently available offline and will soon roll out on Lazada and Shopee.

The pocket-friendly TicNote comes with 64GB of memory and offers up to 25 hours of continuous recording. Beyond these, it supports real-time translation in over 120 languages through the TicNote app.

Moreover, powered by Shadow AI, the device goes further with advanced insights, including Smart Summary, Mind Map View, Deep Research Reports, Aha Moment, and even AI Podcast Generation.

To complement the device, Mobvoi offers unlimited TicNote cloud storage and 600 minutes of free monthly recording time.

On paper, the TicNote AI recorder has several professional applications. It can be used for meetings, legal and medical consultations, and more scenarios to record high-quality audio.

Meanwhile, journalists can leverage the tool for press conferences and media scrums. Even content creators can use the tool as a microphone as TicNote can process high bitrate audio and save it to .wav format.

Still, there’s a catch. Users will still need a smartphone, tablet, or laptop to make the most out of TicNote’s AI-powered features.

And that raises the dilemma: modern phones already offer AI translation, real-time transcription, and audio-to-text uploads through popular AI assistants.

For consumers, the question becomes whether TicNote offers enough beyond what their phones already do — or if it will just make having both devices redundant.

Google Maps is finally getting a power saving mode

Waze needs this update, pronto.

In a congested country like the Philippines, using navigation for shortcuts is a requirement. However, these apps can hog a lot of battery. If you forgot your car charger, it’s practically game over for your phone. Today, Google is shipping out a Maps update which can save your phone’s battery for those long drives.

Announced earlier this month, the update will include a Power Saving mode for Google Maps. The new mode will turn the normally colorful interface into monochrome with particular emphasis on black. The interface will reduce all interactable elements, so you can just focus on the display.

Presumably, it also reduces the power required by the app, while still prioritizing navigation. According to Google, smartphones will get up to four hours more juice when the mode is enabled.

Unfortunately, it’s not a widely released update yet. Google is limiting the update’s rollout to the Pixel 10 series for now. It’s also limited to driving mode; it won’t work if you’re just walking or cycling. The option is accessible through Driving options under Navigation in the settings.

In countries where Android Auto isn’t the norm just yet, a power saving mode for navigation is a godsend. Besides hoping that the update arrives on more devices, one can also hope that Google, who also owns the app, will introduce a similar mode to Waze. (To be fair, Waze did have a battery saver option, but it just dimmed the display for long straights.
