vivo joins NBA in welcoming All-Star Weekend 2025
vivo, an official NBA partner in the Philippines, is joining the league in welcoming the upcoming NBA All-Star Weekend 2025.
This season’s All-Star festivities will take place in the San Francisco Bay Area from February 15 to February 17 (Manila time).
The centerpiece of the annual extravaganza, of course, is the NBA All-Star Game. This year’s format is quite different, with the NBA adopting a mini-tournament style format.
The 24 NBA All-Star selections were divided into three teams of eight. The rosters were selected by TNT’s Charles Barkley, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kenny Smith.
Meanwhile, the fourth team will be the winning team from the Castrol Rising Stars. WNBA legend Candace Parker will coach the squad.
Among the voted “starters” for this year’s All-Star festivities are Giannis Antetokounmpo and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, as well as legends Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and LeBron James.
vivo NBA partnership continues to evolve
With its partnership with the NBA, vivo continues to deliver Filipino basketball fans with curated experiences and content. This brings them closer to the NBA, its players, and its teams.
Last year, the official smartphone of the NBA in the Philippines also offered fans with opportunities to interact with NBA legends like Derek Fisher and Rip Hamilton. They visited vivo stores in Metro Manila for meet-and-greet sessions.
For the second year in a row, vivo also hosted the vivo 3×3 Basketball Challenge from July to August 2024.
Most recently, vivo returned as the official presenting partner of the NBA All-Star Voting in the Philippines.

ACMobility Launches ChargeFleet: Seamless solution for businesses
B2B solution for corporate fleets and transport groups
Ayala Group’s ACMobility has launched ChargeFleet, a new B2B digital solution for corporate fleets and transport groups.
The new service introduces a shareable digital wallet that streamlines charging expenses, reduces manual tracking, and improves cost control.
As more organizations explore electrifying their mobility operations, many continue to face operational challenges — including fragmented payment systems, reimbursement delays, and limited visibility over charging usage.
ChargeFleet addresses these gaps by introducing a centralized, shareable digital wallet. Here, fleet managers can allocate and monitor charging credits across multiple drivers across a single platform.
The system is a seamless process designed for long-term usage and easy deployment across any organization.
Once integrated, ACMobility assigns charging credits to the client’s fleet manager. The manager then can distribute these to multiple drivers. Meanwhile, the latter will be able to see and use their assigned credits via the Evro app.
ChargeFleet is available as a prepaid product through the ChargeFleet Store. Users can buy offers via GCash or credit card. No application process is required.
Looking ahead, ACMobility will continue to enhance the ChargeFleet experience with exclusive value-added perks integrated through Evro and Power on Wheels.
The upcoming features highlight ACMobility’s ongoing push to provide a future-proof support system for the evolving needs of their customers’ businesses.
The vivo V70 is set to release in the Philippines on February 28 with a Pop Mart ZSIGA Golden Hour colorway as part of a high-profile collaboration.
vivo says the exclusive design is inspired by warmth, self-expression, and modern lifestyle aesthetics. It draws inspiration from the glow of the setting sun while also aligning with ZSIGA’s “Under The Sun” series.
This collaboration explores the intersection of fashion, imaging, and personal identity. The partnership aims to connect the younger generation by blending creative storytelling with cutting-edge smartphone design.
vivo’s latest midrange device under the V series comes with a completely refreshed design. The manufacturer says the look balances elegance and durability, with an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy frame.
In addition, the camera module is crafted from metal material to elevate the phone’s premium feel. A matte black panel uses high-end glass as well for resistance to fingerprints and stains.
In front, the vivo V70’s display will feature just 1.25mm bezels for a more immersive viewing experience.
Joining the Golden Hour colorway is Alpine Gray for those who want another option. The vivo V70 x Pop Mart ZSIGA collab drops on February 28 at 5:00 PM via the vivo Philippines Facebook page.
HUAWEI will officially launch the HUAWEI FreeClip 2 in the Philippines on February 19.
HUAWEI says the only Airy C-Bridge open-ear TWS earbuds is the next evolution of open-ear listening.
It is designed for users who want premium sound, all-day comfort, and a truly secure fit — not just as a cutting-edge audio wearable but also as a tech jewelry.
There are several trendy colorways: Denim Blue, Black, Rose Gold, and White. Users can also style the FreeClip 2 with interchangeable accessories, like the Star, Butterfly, Flake, and Tassel designs.
Building on the first-generation FreeClip, the FreeClip 2 introduces a lighter, softer, and new design.
The Acoustic Ball, which houses the audio driver, is contoured and weighted to sit naturally near the ear canal. This change allows directing sound precisely while maintaining an open-ear design.
The counterbalance is the Comfort Bean, a broad and soft contact surface for a stable and ergonomic fit. This rests gently behind the ear and distributes pressure across a wider area.
Meanwhile, the Airy C-Bridge design is crafted from skin-friendly liquid silicone and high-performance shape-memory alloy. It is 25% lighter and is tested to withstand 25,000 bends.
Crystal-clear calls, powerful audio
Performance wise, the FreeClip 2 boasts of clearer sound and more reliable calls in real-world environments.
It is equipped with an advanced three-microphone system, including a Voice Pick Up bone-conduction mic.
The powerful dual-diaphragm driver in a TWS design is also engineered to deliver impressive sound. Users can expect a better bass performance for fuller and more dynamic audio for music, podcasts, and even video calls.
An integrated NPU AI Processor also elevates the listening experience with precise audio processing.
With Adaptive Volume, the wearable detects ambient noise and automatically adjusts playback. Adaptive Voice Enhancement also intelligently amplifies voice based on the content being played or surrounding noise.
Other features include up to 38 hours of usage, iOS and Android compatibility, and IP57 rating.
For its Philippines release, HUAWEI is offering Early Bird Vouchers worth PhP 1,000. On Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok, customers can also get PhP 500 vouchers and two sets of accessories, as well as a one-year, one-time loss compensation service.
