TECNO and Angélica Dass visit the Philippines next for its grand portrait project
100 Faces, 100 Stories
A portrait can show what someone looks like, but what about the story behind the face?
TECNO and visual artist Angélica Dass are exploring that question through “100 Portraits of Becoming,” a two-year global portrait project featuring 100 people across Kenya, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Brazil.
The project begins with 20 portraits from Kenya, each paired with a personal story about identity, choices, change, and growth. Rather than having participants represent an entire culture or generation, the project focuses on their individual experiences.
Beyond inclusive imaging
The project builds on TECNO’s work with Universal Tone, its imaging technology designed to represent diverse skin tones more naturally and accurately.
But “100 Portraits of Becoming” takes that idea further. With AI increasingly involved in capturing, recognizing, and generating images of people, TECNO and Dass want to explore how technology can better represent the individual behind the image.
For Dass, meaningful portraiture starts with human connection.
“Meaningful portraits are never created by technology alone.”
She says her experience in Kenya reinforced the importance of trust, listening, and the willingness of people to share their stories.
The Philippines is next
Following Kenya, the project heads to the Philippines for a chapter called “Beyond Many Labels.”
It will feature 20 individuals, including working solo mothers and people whose lives are closely connected to solo parenthood.
Their stories will look beyond labels such as “single mother,” “breadwinner,” and “strong woman,” while exploring their ambitions, relationships, and personal growth.
The chapter will also explore “diskarte” — the ways Filipinos adapt, make choices, and find practical ways forward in everyday life.
After the Philippines, “100 Portraits of Becoming” will continue to Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Brazil.
By the end of the project, TECNO and Dass hope the 100 portraits will offer exactly what the title suggests: 100 different ways of seeing humanity.

Globe records fastest average download speed of 2026 in August
Globe’s network performance improves
Globe recorded its strongest network performance of 2026 in August, according to the latest Telco Report Card from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
The telecommunications company achieved an overall score of 81.5, an increase of 4.4 points from January. Its average download speed also reached 45.9 Mbps, its fastest recorded speed this year.
The figure represents a 5.1% improvement over July and a 26% increase from the 36.5 Mbps recorded in January.
Globe also improved its network quality score from 69.2 to 71.2, while latency remained at 20 milliseconds.
The company attributed these improvements to its continued network investments, technology upgrades, and collaboration with government agencies, including the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC).
Globe invests in network reliability and expansion
Globe allocated PHP 26.3 billion in capital expenditures during the first half of 2026. The company directed 91% of that amount toward data-related initiatives.
Beyond improving download speeds, Globe continues to invest in technologies designed to maintain connectivity during network disruptions.
Its Automated Outage Response technology automatically optimizes nearby cell sites during outages. According to Globe, the system can retain up to 50% of data connectivity during disruptions, compared with less than 10% without the technology.
Globe also expanded its network coverage in underserved communities. In July, the company connected 52 previously unserved Geographically Isolated and Disadvantaged Areas (GIDAs).
This completed its commitment to activate mobile services across all 180 project locations under the DICT’s connectivity initiative.
Meanwhile, Ookla recognized Globe as the Most Consistent Mobile Provider for four consecutive reporting periods, based on Speedtest Intelligence data covering the second half of 2024 through the first half of 2026.
Globe General Counsel Atty. Froilan Castelo emphasized that the company still needs to improve connectivity in communities experiencing unreliable service.
The company plans to continue its network investments and targeted improvements to strengthen service reliability across the Philippines.
