Quezon City fans can watch the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show online, but no local runway event has been announced.
Scheduled for Los Angeles on October 18, the show falls on October 19 in the Philippines. Its venue and final broadcast schedule have not been announced.
Global girl group Katseye is among the confirmed performers, giving Filipino viewers a personal connection through member Sophia Laforteza.
Laforteza is taking a temporary break to focus on her mental health and hopes to rejoin the group, but her participation remains uncertain.
Megan Thee Stallion, Megan Moroney and Tate McRae round out the all-women music lineup.
Confirmed models include Gigi Hadid, Adriana Lima, Candice Swanpoel, Ashley Graham, Imaan Hammam and Anok Yai.
With global online viewing planned, Philippine fans should check the final broadcast time before making plans. Read More... |
Quezon City shoppers who preorder the HONOR 600S could qualify for a raffle offering Php 1,000,000 worth of SM Gift Passes.
The HONOR Philippines promotion covers preorders placed from October 1 to 9 through authorized HONOR stores nationwide, Globe Telecom stores and HONOR’s official online shops.
To qualify, customers who preorder in a physical store must claim their phone on October 10 or 11.
Online buyers must receive their device, obtain its IMEI and complete raffle registration.
Each qualified phone earns one entry, so buying multiple eligible devices can mean multiple chances to win.
Before ordering, confirm that your chosen store is participating and check the promotion’s full conditions.
A preorder alone does not guarantee a raffle entry, and the prize is not a guaranteed discount. Read More... |
For Quezon City students and commuters choosing between a tablet and a laptop, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S12 lineup offers portable workspaces at a steep price.
The Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra has a 14.6-inch AMOLED display, while the smaller S12+ has a 12.6-inch screen.
Both include an S Pen for lecture notes, document markups and sketches, plus multitasking tools for keeping reference material alongside work.
Samsung lists battery life of up to 23 hours for the Ultra and 21 hours for the S12+, though actual use will vary.
Price may be the deciding factor: the Ultra starts at ₱87,590, while the S12+ starts at ₱76,590.
Pre-orders run October 9–20, followed by an October 21 online launch and October 28 availability in stores.
Launch bundles, trade-in offers and possible student discounts could lower the cost.
For local buyers, the choice is whether the Ultra’s extra screen space is worth carrying and paying more for. Read More... |
Tip of The Day |
Pin the gate, not just the place In Quezon City, large destinations such as UP Diliman and Quezon Memorial Circle have entrances far apart. Before booking a ride, choose the entrance closest to where you’re actually going and send that gate or a nearby landmark as the pickup point. It can save a long walk—or an extra loop around the block. |
