"title": "ERC scrutiny adds a new wrinkle to Ramon Ang's Lopez Inc. investment",
"body": "This is AI-generated. Read the article for full context. Report any errors.\n\nMANILA, Philippines - Ramon S. Ang's acquisition of a 25.68% stake in Lopez Inc. has moved beyond a family ownership story and into the regulatory arena, with the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) now examining whether his entry into the Lopez holding company could have implications for competition in the power sector.\n\nERC Chair Francis Saturnino Juan said the regulator is looking into whether Ang's investment, made personally through Illumina Investment Holdings Inc., could raise issues involving generation market-share limits and cross-ownership restrictions because of the relationship between San Miguel Global Power and Lopez-controlled First Gen.\n\nThe distinction is important. Ang did not buy the Lopez Inc. stake through San Miguel Corp., and his 25.68% holding does not by itself establish control. But under the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA), regulators are not limited to counting shares. They may also consider whether ownership, contractual arrangements, management rights or other forms of influence effectively place companies within a related group.\n\nThat makes the still-undisclosed governance terms of Ang's Lopez Inc. investment increasingly important.\n\nJuan said the ERC still needs to determine whether Ang obtained an officer position or other governance role within the Lopez group. The regulator's inquiry therefore puts a spotlight on questions that the transaction disclosures have so far left unanswered: Does Illumina have board representation, veto rights, special voting arrangements or contractual influence over major decisions?\n\nThe ERC has made no finding of wrongdoing and has not said the transaction violates EPIRA. Nor is there any new formal disclosure confirming earlier reports of a broader 71% sale of Lopez Inc. for about ₱45 billion.\n\nStill, the regulatory interest changes the complexion of the deal.\n\nWhat began as a surprising minority investment by one of the country's most powerful businessmen in one of its oldest family conglomerates now carries a second question beyond who owns Lopez Inc.: how much influence did Ang actually buy?\n\nThat answer could matter not only to the Lopez family, but also to the competitive structure of the Philippine power industry. - Rappler.com",

"body": "This is AI-generated. Read the article for full context. Report any errors.\n\nMANILA, Philippines - The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is seeking a P643.95-billion budget for 2027, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s last full year in office.\n\nUnder the Marcos administration, the DPWH's proposed budgets have often been significantly higher than the amounts ultimately approved by Congress and the President.\n\nBut the agency's funding came under greater scrutiny after the flood control corruption scandal erupted in 2025. The controversy prompted cuts to the DPWH's proposed flood control projects.\n\nOf the DPWH's proposed 2027 budget, P572.92 billion or 89% is earmarked for six major programs.\n\nThe biggest allocation, at P176.6 billion, is for the Network Development Program, which covers road projects.\n\nThis is followed by the Convergence and Special Support Program, with P157.3 billion. It covers projects that support the initiatives of other government agencies like access roads and bridges leading to tourist destinations, airports, seaports, trade centers, and industries, as well as facilities for indigenous communities, evacuation centers, quarantine facilities, water supply systems, flood mitigation structures, and public buildings.\n\nThe DPWH is also seeking at least P103.5 billion for its flood management program. In previous years, flood control projects accounted for one of the biggest chunks of the agency's budget.\n\nWhich regions will get the biggest share of proposed DPWH 2027 budget?\n\nThe DPWH is seeking P510.03 billion for its central office. A huge portion of this -- at least P481.62 billion -- is allocated for capital outlay, which covers physical assets such as buildings, roads, and flood control projects.\n\nFor personal services or funds used to pay employee salaries and benefits, the DPWH has allocated P4.53 billion for its central office. Another P23.87 billion is earmarked for maintenance and other operating expenses.\n\nAmong the DPWH's regional offices, Central Luzon gets the biggest proposed budget share at P17.42 billion, followed by Calabarzon at P16.09 billion, and Metro Manila at P10.35 billion.\n\nThe House appropriations committee will take up the proposed DPWH budget on Wednesday, August 26. - Rappler.com",

A culture experience base within the China Confucius Research Institute offers visitors immersive activities such as donning ancient costumes, performing traditional ceremonies, and making stone rubbings.\n\nIn September, the 12th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations will be held in Qufu, exploring paths for cooperation among diverse civilizations under the theme of \"harmony without uniformity\". Having hosted 11 sessions to date, the forum has evolved into a globally significant platform for civilizational dialogue.\n\nThe China International Confucius Cultural Festival is another cultural emblem of Shandong representing Confucian heritage. First held in 1984, it has also grown into a cross-border cultural gala renowned worldwide.\n\nGet the latest news\n\ndelivered to your inbox\n\nSign up for The Manila Times newsletters\n\nBy signing up with an email address, I acknowledge that I have read and agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.\n\nBreaking away from the mindset that prioritizes conservation over dynamic utilization, Shandong leverages digital technology and industrial integration to align ancient cultural lineage with modern life. The province has rolled out initiatives such as digital Confucian temples, online intangible cultural heritage platforms, and smart cultural museums. Technologies including 3D modeling, virtual performances, and online exhibitions bring static cultural relics and ancient crafts to life through interactive digital dissemination.\n\nHandicrafts have also become a hallmark of Shandong's cultural development. Zhangqiu iron woks, Taishan jade creations, Shandong brocade garments, and Yimeng handmade crafts blend contemporary design with cultural connotations. Caoxian county is home to more than 2,000 hanfu (traditional-style clothing) enterprises and nearly 100,000 practitioners, with annual sales exceeding 10 billion yuan ($1.47 billion). In Weifang, veteran artisans uphold techniques for Yangjiabu woodblock New Year paintings and kite-making, bringing centuries-old heritage to wider audiences.\n\nAdvertisement\n\nSupported by intangible cultural heritage workshops province-wide, traditional crafts including Zibo glassware, southern Shandong wickerwork, and Jiaodong paper-cutting have formed a virtuous cycle of skill transmission and industry-driven growth.\n\nDuring the 14th Five-Year Plan, Shandong also integrated coastal and mountain ecosystems, rural landscapes and local industries to build featured cultural tourism products such as the Yellow River ecological corridor, coastal leisure routes and immersive ancient city experiences. These efforts have fueled industrial upgrading and steadily boosted the province's global appeal.",

"body": "'Parang' spaghetting pababa ng pababa at pataas ng pataas', so goes a line of a naughty tagalog song. So apt to apply to the present fuel situation in the country when one week ago there was a price roll back and and an oil price hike the next week. And seemingly government cannot do anything, not even intervening and not lifting a finger,so to speak. Over the years fuel hit the roof compared to when I bought my first car in mid-sixties, a second hand Chevrolet wagon formerly owned by an American GI stationed in then Clark Air Force Base. ( It's now called Clark Freeport by virtue of R.A 7227 passed in 1993).\n\nIn those years buy and sell business was a very lucrative enterprise for car brokers who deal with second hand American cars owned by soldiers assigned in Clark. The GIs tour of duty was only two years, so before they will be shipped to their new assignments they sold their cars with an approval first by their merchandise control office (MCO) and has to pay the Philippines' Bureau of Customs which has a district office outside the gate of the air base. ( A certain Sgt Fields of MCO was the one processing the papers of his fellow GIs before the consummation of the sale. No wonder car brokers when asked where was his destinations, the answer was 'kang Fields'. That's how the street near the customs house became Fields Avenue.\n\nBuy and sell business and in Angeles City and nearby Dau in Mabalacat was brisk. Many American soldiers including their dependents were involved in blackmarketing of Post Exchanges (PX) items ranging from soaps, chocolate candies, perfumes, alcohol drinks and big items like air conditioners, vehicles and many other household appliances. It was Nepo Mart in Barangay Cutcut which has the most number of stores selling PX items that those engaged into it became millionaires and were able to build houses with four car garage on gated subdivisions in the city. But all these are gone now when Mt. Pinatubo erupted in June 1991 and immediately the Americans made their departure and for two years nothing was left in the military installation except some buildings and abandoned second hand cars. ( Kitchen items and plates were found in a restaurant in Cebu City reportedly owned by a former Philippine Air Force general).\n\nClark Air Force Base was the biggest military installation outside of the United States. It's the facility wherein the American government conducted operations in the whole of the pacific was based. It was the home of the 13th US Air Force. It played an important role during the Vietnam war in the late sixties. The prolonged stay of the Americans in our country caused some irritants between American servicemen and to people living in what we known then as the off-Base communities like Porac, Angeles, Mabalacat,Bamban and Capas. Aside from those shot and killed by sentry guards suspected of pilfering, I clearly remember the case of a lawyer, a special counsel at the Angeles City Fiscal's office who was arrested and handcuffed in full view of people just for fetching water from a faucet near the main gate.\n\n> It was true then that economies of the off-base communities were partly dependent on the American expenditures. The American base was the biggest employer. And on the downside it became also the source of black market items, thus competing with the locally manufactured goods. The PX stores mushroomed in Dau, Mabalacat and in Angeles City and even as far as in Barangay Balite in San Fernando.\n\n> Compared today, with the Americans gone and their military installation becoming a freeport, we never had it so good. The government under the presidency of Fidel Ramos drew up a plan, and converted it into an economic zone. The rest is history.",

"title": "McLaren has a manual again: Say hello to the all-new McL 6GT",
"body": "If your knowledge of McLaren stretches beyond 'F1', then you'll likely remember founder Bruce McLaren's odyssey with the gorgeous M6GT -- like the Koenigsegg we featured recently, it was a machine built to take on the sportscar world, but was canceled at the last minute. Bruce actually went ahead and made a road car.\n\nWell, here's New McLaren reconnecting with its heritage. It's called the McL 6GT, and it's a new type of supercar that'll result in a version you -- well, maybe not all of you -- can buy in 2028.\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nIt's also the first McLaren with a proper manual gearbox since that aforementioned F1 supercar, and while details on this car are scant, we know it's matched to a V8, sends drive to the rear wheels, and is packaged inside a lightweight carbon-fiber shell.\n\nOTHER STORIES YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED:\n\nSinger and Louis Vuitton have teamed up to build two bespoke 911s, and they're gorgeous\n\nThis student-designed solar-powered car generates more energy than it consumes*\n\nSo...very McLaren, then. \"The McLaren McL 6GT imagines what our inspirational founder had wished to complete but with six additional decades of innovation and passion woven through every element, creating a modern icon of driver connection,\" said McLaren boss Nick Collins.\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nWe'll circle back to the looks momentarily -- you will have opinions, no doubt -- but first, the drive. McLaren promises something a bit more analog: \"Every shift, throttle movement and steering input is intended to feel deliberate, physical, and rewarding, connecting the driver to the machine,\" it said.\n\n\"This mechanical character extends beyond the drivetrain. Hydraulic steering, tactile switchgear, and visible engineering details all contribute to a sense of purity of involvement for the driver.\"\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nAnd because this is a McLaren, the details are brilliantly nerdy. The gearshift design, for example, has been engineered for \"maximum feel and throw,\" and even gets a 3D 'Speedy Kiwi' set within it. Bruce was from New Zealand, don't forget.\n\nSo, the style. Looks unlike any new McLaren, that's for sure. There's a definite sweep of classic M6GT about the thing, but it's more doe-eyed than its stablemates. It's low, wide, features a Kamm tail, and of course, has been honed for low-drag aero.\n\nFrom the close-ups of the interior -- there's no wide shot of the full cabin, annoyingly -- it does look proper, and features digital instruments, 'boxed quilting,' that sort of thing.\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nAs we mentioned, a production version of this will arrive in 2028, but McLaren also said it \"lays the foundation for a newly positioned and highly exclusive type of McLaren supercar beyond the core and expanded portfolio.\" So, there's that.\n\nStill don't remember the M6GT? TopGear.com drove one a while back in the States. Here's how we got on...\n\nMore photos of the McL 6GT 2028:\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nPHOTO BY TopGear.com\n\nNOTE: This story first appeared on TopGear.com.

"title": "Why enterprises can't simply vibe-code their way to production | Back End News",
"body": "Vibe coding is making software development easier to approach, even for people who are not traditional programmers. By using natural-language prompts, developers can ask artificial intelligence (AI) to generate code, test ideas, and quickly turn concepts into working prototypes.\n\nBut for enterprises, getting an application from an idea to a production-ready system requires more than generating code.\n\n\"Vibe coding will continue to grow, and we see that as an amazing thing because it will help, like if I have an idea, how do I bring that closer to where it is?\" said Joel Garcia, technology lead, Strategic Initiatives, ASEAN, AWS, during a media workshop.\n\n\"It's low barrier, it's easy to use, it's fast and again, they can validate and iterate on some of their ideas,\" he said.\n\nThat accessibility could encourage more people to experiment with coding, even without a formal programming background. The challenge starts when an organization wants to use that code in a real business environment.\n\n\"As they kind of continue going forward and as their requirements grow, they realize that there's more requirements similar to what we had talked about,\" Garcia said. \"They need to look at specification, they need to look at documentation, they need to look at testing requirements, and so on and so forth, that are required sometimes by their industry, sometimes obviously by their organization.\"\n\nAs companies move from experimenting with AI-generated code to deploying it, there will always be the issue of security.\n\n\"There are specific guardrails and steering files that you give the AI to ensure that the output that you are trying to get to in terms of code, in terms of the application, meets the corporate standards, meets security standards, meets the enterprise standards,\" Garcia said.\n\nHe also noted that security measures such as penetration testing is part of moving an application toward production. It means that writing code is only one part of software development. Enterprises also have to consider security, testing, documentation, and how an application will work at scale.\n\nThat is where agentic coding enters the picture.\n\nGarcia said organizations are moving beyond simply generating code and asking how those applications can be deployed \"faster, but in a scalable and secure fashion.\"\n\nAWS sees Kiro, which was previewed at AWS re:Invent 2025, as a way to bring more structure to AI coding. Garcia described it as \"our agentic AI development tool.\"\n\nKiro uses AWS spec-driven development. Instead of relying only on a broad prompt, developers can define clearer business requirements, system design, and the tasks needed to reach an intended outcome.\n\n\"Your first spec won't be your final spec,\" Garcia said, explaining that developers can continue to refine the requirements before the AI implements them.\n\nThe approach is also designed to keep people involved. Garcia emphasized that \"even with agentic coding, there is still human in the loop,\" with people reviewing, steering, and iterating on specifications.\n\nThat distinction matters as AI coding tools become more capable. This does not mean removing developers from the process, but to enable AI handle more of the execution while people focus on decisions that require context and judgment.\n\nFor beginners, that could make coding more approachable. For enterprises, however, the bigger challenge is making sure AI-generated software is secure, reliable, documented, and ready for production.",

"title": "IBM partners with OpenAI to accelerate secure AI deployment for enterprises",
"body": "The partnership embeds OpenAI frontier models like GPT-5.6 and products like Codex and ChatGPT Work into IBM Consulting Advantage, IBM's AI platform for delivering consulting services to clients.\n\nIBM announced a strategic partnership with OpenAI to help enterprises deliver business outcomes by deploying AI at scale across core business operations and complex workflows, while strengthening cyber defense and resilience through programs like OpenAI Daybreak. The partnership includes joint-go-to market initiatives and creating industry-specific solutions for financial services, government, telecommunications, and retail, as well as key enterprise domains such as finance, procurement, customer operations, and HR.\n\nThe partnership embeds OpenAI frontier models like GPT-5.6 and products like Codex and ChatGPT Work into IBM Consulting Advantage, IBM's AI platform for delivering consulting services to clients, combining AI agents, industry assets, and cybersecurity capabilities to help organizations securely deploy AI at scale, drive business outcomes, and create new commercial models.\n\nIBM will bring forward-deployed units of highly specialized engineers and consultants trained through the OpenAI Partner Network to work directly with clients to accelerate AI implementation across complex business workflows and highly regulated environments. IBM will also launch a dedicated OpenAI Practice, with thousands of consultants and engineers obtaining expert-level certifications under the OpenAI Partner Network.\n\nTogether, IBM and OpenAI aim to help organizations tackle one of the biggest barriers to scaling AI - turning decades of fragmented processes, legacy systems, and operational complexity into AI-driven operations that can be deployed even more safely and securely.\n\nThe partnership will focus on three key areas:\n\n* Transforming legacy operations into AI-ready workflows IBM will embed OpenAI frontier models like GPT-5.6 and products like Codex and ChatGPT Work into IBM Consulting Advantage, to help organizations integrate AI into daily processes with business context and redesign workflows across finance, procurement, customer operations, and HR. The capabilities within IBM Consulting Advantage can analyze operating procedures and workflows to identify inefficiencies and help teams automate and streamline work using AI.\n\n* Application modernization and product development The companies plan to help clients modernize legacy applications and accelerate software development by bringing together OpenAI Codex and ChatGPT Work with IBM's industry, technology and domain expertise, including integration with IBM Consulting Advantage. The collaboration is designed to help organizations simplify engineering processes and speed the delivery of new digital products and services.\n\n* Cybersecurity and AI risk management IBM and OpenAI will expand their collaboration on cybersecurity following IBM's participation in the OpenAI Daybreak Cyber Partner Program by combining OpenAI frontier AI capabilities with IBM Autonomous Security -- a multi-agent-powered service designed to deliver coordinated decision-making, response, and intelligence at machine speed. As AI-powered attacks grow more sophisticated, the partnership will help clients manage both cyber and AI model risk, including application-layer vulnerabilities, governance gaps, and operational risks that limits AI adoption.\n\n\"While enterprises are rapidly investing in AI, they are looking for practical ways to apply it across their core operations to deliver measurable business outcomes and create new commercial models,\" said Andy Baldwin, Global Senior Vice President, IBM Consulting. \"The challenge is not access to AI technologies -- it's integrating AI securely and at scale into complex enterprise environments and workflows. By embedding OpenAI's technology with IBM Consulting's AI assets, industry solutions, and cybersecurity capabilities, we can help clients accelerate secure, AI deployments at scale.\"\n\n\"The organizations pulling ahead with AI are the ones turning it into a trusted part of how their business operates,\" said Denise Dresser, Chief Revenue Officer at OpenAI. \"IBM Consulting and OpenAI are helping organizations make that shift, combining deep transformation expertise to deploy AI that is secure, operational, and aligned with real business priorities.\"\n\nAs part of the collaboration, IBM will join OpenAI's Elite partner tier, reflecting the companies' shared focus on delivering secure, enterprise-ready AI at scale.",

"body": "MANILA, Philippines -- As financial scams become increasingly sophisticated, BDO Unibank continues to strengthen its fraud awareness efforts to help protect vulnerable sectors, particularly senior citizens, from emerging threats.\n\nIn partnership with Barangay Bel-Air, Makati, BDO Foundation and the Bank's Fraud Management Unit (FMU) recently conducted a scam awareness session for senior citizens, underscoring BDO's commitment to empowering communities through education and prevention.\n\nThe session provided practical guidance on recognizing common scam tactics, protecting personal and financial information and responding to suspicious messages and requests.\n\nParticipants actively shared experiences and learned important safety reminders, including never clicking suspicious links, never sharing account credentials or One-Time PINs (OTPs), and always verifying requests through official channels.\n\nThe initiative forms part of BDO's broader fraud prevention strategy, which combines security technologies, customer protection measures, and sustained public education.\n\n\"Fraud prevention is a shared responsibility. Beyond investing in security controls, we believe that informed and vigilant communities are the first line of defense against scammers,\" BDO said.\n\nThrough ongoing partnerships with local communities and other stakeholders, BDO remains committed to raising public awareness and strengthening collective vigilance against financial fraud.\n\nEditor's Note: This press release is sponsored by BDO.
