Made to Create, Built to Grow — Wacom Introduces the New Wacom Cintiq Line

Wacom today launched the new Cintiq 16, Cintiq 24, and Cintiq 24 touch pen displays, empowering creators to break boundaries with professional tools made attainable without compromise. Combining the flagship Wacom Pro Pen 3, a slimmer design, and sharp displays built for creative work, these models are built for artists and designers ready to level up their craft and dive headfirst into their boldest ideas.

“Creativity isn’t about limits—it’s about diving into the extraordinary,” said Koji Yano, Senior Vice President at Wacom. “The new Cintiq line is for creators who refuse to settle. It’s not just a tool—it’s the spark that turns ‘what if’ into ‘what’s next.’”

Natural Feel with the Wacom Pro Pen 3

Utilizing the Wacom Pro Pen 3, the new Cintiq models provide responsive, precise pen strokes thanks to enhanced sampling rate and pressure sensitivity. Artists experience fluid lines closely following movement—supporting expression with improved control.

Optional accessories let users customize grip thickness, weight balance, and button layout for comfort during long sessions. Another optional accessory is the Wacom Pro Pen 3 Wood Grip, sold separately, which stands out with its warm, textured finish—offering a more natural feel in the hand for those who prefer an organic touch during long drawing sessions.

Clear Display and Comfortable Viewing

Available in 16.0” (2560 x 1600 resolution) and 23.8” (2560 x 1440 resolution) sizes, the Cintiq line includes Pen-only and a Pen & Touch model (23.8” only). Direct bonding minimizes the gap between the pen tip and the cursor. Anti-glare etched glass reduces reflections and minimizes eye fatigue.

Streamlined Design and Quiet Performance

The flat design with a clean, modern profile supports versatile working angles. Both models are slimmer than their predecessors—the Cintiq 24, for example, is nearly half the thickness of the previous 22” model at just 21mm—making them easier to fit into a variety of workspaces. A fanless design ensures quiet operation and helps users stay focused during long creative sessions, without overheating.

Adjustable Stand and Flexible Setup

The Cintiq 24 includes the Wacom Adjustable Stand, which allows smooth, quiet angle adjustments. The Cintiq 16 comes with fold-out legs and is also compatible with the optional stand, sold separately. Both models are VESA-compatible (75 x 75 mm) for use with third-party monitor arms.

All ports are neatly arranged on the back for simplified cable management. All models support USB-C connection, and the 16” model also supports a convenient single-cable setup with power delivery. HDMI and USB-A ports are available on both models as alternative options.

All models come with time-limited licenses for creative software, including Clip Studio Paint EX and MASV.

Availability

The new Wacom Cintiq models will be available this summer. To learn more, visit:  https://www.wacom.com/products/wacom-cintiq.

American Women’s Club of the Philippines Wins FAWCO Grant to Feed Malnourished Children

 

preview The American Women's Club of the Philippines has won a grant from the Federation of American Women's Club Overseas in order to support local charity Bukas Palad Foundation in their mission to feed and educate malnourished children and their families.

MANILA, Philippines - June 3, 2025 - In its continuous efforts towards local community service, the American Women’s Club of the Philippines (AWCP) has applied for and now won the Federation of American Women’s Club Overseas (FAWCO) 2025 Development Grant for their project in partnership with the Bukas Palad Foundation in the Critical Health Concerns category. The Bukas Palad Foundation is a non-profit and non-governmental organization located in Pasay City that aims to help impoverished children and elderly with education, livelihood, and sustainable development. 

This grant will be used for Bukas Palad’s nutrition program targeting malnourished children. In addition to regular feedings of nutritious meals, the organization also educates  the children and their families about healthy lifestyle habits to improve behaviors and mindsets that belie the issue of undernutrition. The $5000 of grant money will help fund meals of 20 children and the wages of four staff who will prepare, cook, and transport the meals as well as monitor the childrens’ food intake for 120 school days.

“It’s our first time applying for the FAWCO Health Development Grant and we are overjoyed to have won for the beneficiaries of our partner organization,” says AWCP President Denise Faulhaber. 

This initiative is just one of many charitable endeavors that AWCP pursues. In talking about how this project aligns with AWCP’s core values, Co-President Keri Myers adds that, “As AWCP, we have always been dedicated to serve the community in our host country. For us and our members, it’s important to give back as much as possible.”

This was a particularly critical time for the Bukas Palad’s school based feeding program as new sponsors were needed for the upcoming school year.  Thanks to the FAWCO Development Grant, AWCP has been able to step in to help Bukas Palad continue their important work for the new school year starting this June 2025.

“We are so grateful for the grant and the help that AWCP has extended to us,” says Bukas Palad leadership. “With the grant money, we will be able to continue our work with the children and families and help them become healthier and empower them to lead their lives with healthy habits.”

AWCP also notes that this marks the recognition of a local charity initiative by a global organization. Faulhaber notes the significance of FAWCO as a global entity acknowledging the value in their work here in the Philippines, and hopes that this will invite greater international attention to local grassroots charities and their projects. 

About American Women’s Club of the Philippines
The American Women's Club of the Philippines (AWCP) is a social organization founded in 1979 that assists foreigners arriving to the Philippines with adjusting to local life. Its membership has since expanded to include non-American foreigners as well as locals, and aside from its purpose as a social club, is also committed to service to the local community through collaborations with various charities.

Everything You Need to Know about Agenda 47! Tokenomics, Market Outlook, and A47 Price Predictions 2025–2028



Discover everything about Agenda 47 (A47), the AI-powered meme coin revolutionizing crypto. Explore its tokenomics, market data, and bold price predictions for 2025–2028.

In the fast-paced, often unpredictable world of cryptocurrencies, Agenda 47 (A47) has emerged as a curious outlier, a project that fuses artificial intelligence, meme culture, and community-driven tokenomics into a surprisingly well-structured crypto ecosystem.

While many meme coins fizzle out after a brief hype cycle, A47 is building something different: a sustainable, revenue-generating model grounded in humor, decentralization, and real-world utility.

This article breaks down A47’s unique tokenomics, current market status, and price projections up to 2028, providing a comprehensive overview for investors and crypto enthusiasts alike.

What is Agenda 47 (A47)?

Agenda 47 (A47) is a decentralized meme and content platform powered by AI. At the core of its operation are 47 artificial intelligence agents that create politically charged, humorous, and highly viral content, ranging from deepfakes and parodies to sharp-witted AI commentaries about global events.

Unlike conventional meme coins that rely solely on community hype or speculative trading, A47 connects its native token ($A47) directly to content creation, revenue generation, and community engagement. This makes it not just a meme token, but an AI-driven media ecosystem.

Agenda 47 (A47) Tokenomics

The strength of the A47 ecosystem lies in its cleverly structured tokenomics, which differ significantly from typical meme coin playbooks.

1. Total Supply & Launch

- Total Supply: 999.99 million $A47 tokens

- Launch Method: 100% fair launch on pump.fun

- Circulating Supply: 100% unlocked; no allocations for VCs, insiders, or private sales

This ensures full transparency and puts control directly into the hands of the community from the start.

2. Revenue & Value Accrual Model

A47 doesn't rely on mere speculation. Instead, it integrates real revenue streams, including:

- Brand partnerships & sponsored content across X, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube

- Monetized AI-generated news and viral memes via the A47 News Network

3. The Community Buyback Loop

Half of all revenue generated by the platform goes toward buying back A47 tokens from the market. These tokens are then redirected into a Community Treasury, supporting long-term token value and sustainability. This model creates a value loop:

User Attention → Viral Content → Revenue → Token Buybacks → Treasury Growth → Price Support

Key Takeaways of A47 Tokenomics

1. Fair Launch: No centralized control or early access.

2. Revenue-Backed Utility: Monetized content directly supports the token’s value.

3. Engineered for Virality: Every meme and video potentially drives token growth.

4. Sustainable Buybacks: 50% of platform revenue is used to purchase tokens, promoting price stability and investor confidence.

Market Snapshot: A47 as of June 3, 2025

Metric Value:

1. Current Price: $0.01824

2. Market Cap: ~$18.24 million

3. 24h Trading Volume: $2.74 million

4. Circulating Supply: 999.99 million (100% unlocked)

5. FDV: $18.24 million

6. Volume/Market Cap Ratio: 15.03%

These figures demonstrate a healthy, actively traded token with full supply transparency, an increasingly rare trait in today’s meme-heavy altcoin market.

A47 Price Predictions (2025–2028)

Though meme coins are notoriously volatile, A47's utility-driven model and AI content engine offer it a real shot at long-term growth. Here’s what current Agenda47 price forecasts suggest:

1. 2025 Forecast

- Price Range: $0.01283 – $0.01880

- Average Price: ~$0.01448

- Short-Term Sentiment: Bearish (as of June), with potential short-term losses of up to -29%

- Long-Term Sentiment: Gradually bullish by year-end, with ROI potentials between 16% to 22% across Q4

Short-term investment opportunities exist for swing traders, particularly through short-selling strategies. For example, short-selling $1,000 worth of A47 today could yield an ROI of ~30.37% by September 2025, assuming predicted price drops occur.

2. 2026 Forecast

- Expected High: ~$0.08

- Catalysts: Increased adoption, new tech integrations, expanded content reach

- Market Mood: Optimistic—assuming further content virality and ecosystem development

3. 2027 Forecast

- Predicted Price Range: $0.12 – $0.15

- Narrative: Real-world application and greater media presence could drive A47 into the top tier of altcoins

- Risks: Broader market volatility, regulation concerns on AI-generated media

4. 2028 Forecast

- Price Potential: $0.20 – $0.30

- Growth Factors: Mainstream crypto adoption, stable ecosystem, multiple revenue verticals

- Outcome: Could become a mainstream, AI-driven meme economy token

Conclusion: Is A47 the Future of Meme Coins?

Agenda 47 (A47) is not just another meme coin chasing virality. It’s a media platform, AI experiment, and crypto project all rolled into one, backed by thoughtful tokenomics that reward creativity, engagement, and long-term commitment.

Whether you’re here for the memes or the money, A47 offers a unique blend of both. Its revenue-generating model, transparent supply, and sustainable buybacks make it one of the few meme tokens with genuine staying power.

However, as with all investments in crypto, volatility is a given, and users should remain cautious and well-informed. Short-term dips may present opportunities for savvy traders, while long-term holders could benefit from its expanding ecosystem.

Exploring Latvia’s Cheeses: A Perfect Fit for the Malaysian Market

 

As the key parties to promote the new initiative aimed at enhancing global appreciation for Europe’s finest agricultural products, The National Union of Agricultural Cooperatives of Greece (ETHEAS) and the Latvian Dairy Committee (LDC), is now spotlighting Latvia’s exceptional dairy offerings, tailored for Malaysian consumers.

The “Premium European Products” campaign under the initiative program of “Information Provision and Promotion Measures on Agricultural Products in Canada, Malaysia and South Korea”, aims to elevate the global recognition of European agricultural excellence. Its core objectives are to increase awareness, enhance consumer recognition, drive consumption, and ultimately boost exports of premium European products to Malaysia, Canada, and South Korea.

The campaign showcases a wide array of top-tier goods from both Greece and Latvia. Among them, the first category features 11 PDO-certified products from Greece, including olive oils, table olives, dried grapes, saffron, hard cheeses, and mastic gum and gum oil. Latvia proudly presents a diverse range of authentic dairy products - cheese that resonate strongly with Malaysian tastes.

Latvian Cheese: Artisanal Quality for Modern Consumers

Latvia’s dairy sector is renowned for its commitment to quality and tradition, producing cheeses that blend time-honoured techniques with modern innovation. Among Latvia’s most prized exports are its exceptional dairy products, especially a variety of cheeses celebrated for their rich flavours, clean production, and traditional craftsmanship. Latvian cheeses are made using fresh, high-quality milk sourced from local dairy farms adhering to strict EU safety, animal welfare, and quality standards.

Latvian cheese-making sector creates a wide spectrum of offerings. These include:

- Semi-hard and hard cheeses with mild to robust flavour profiles

- Smoked cheeses with distinctive aromas, ideal for platters or melting

- Fresh soft cheeses perfect for spreads, salads, or fusion recipes

Free from artificial additives and preservatives, Latvian cheeses meet the growing demand in Malaysia for natural, nutritious, and clean-label products.

Malaysia’s Multicultural Palate Embraces Cheese in Fusion Cuisine

Malaysia's dairy market is experiencing rapid growth due to increased health consciousness, rising incomes, urbanization, and Western cultural influences. The Malaysian dairy food market has seen consistent expansion, driven by growing consumer understanding of the nutritional benefits of dairy products.

As a vibrant and multicultural nation, Malaysia is well-known for its rich culinary diversity that blends traditional flavours with global influences. In recent years, cheese has emerged as a beloved ingredient among Malaysians, finding its way into everything from local street food to modern fusion creations. Whether it’s cheese-topped nasi lemak, roti with melted mozzarella, or spicy sambal pasta with parmesan, Malaysians are increasingly incorporating dairy products into their everyday meals. This growing appetite reflects a broader trend where Western ingredients, especially cheese, are being creatively infused into traditional dishes, making them uniquely Malaysian while appealing to a younger, more adventurous generation of food lovers.

Eyeing the Malaysian obsession for all things cheese, the evolving Malaysian market is increasingly embracing premium imported dairy products that balance indulgence with health. The four categories highlighting Latvian products (dairy products, candied fruits, chocolates and confectionery, and salty snacks), especially Latvian cheeses, have significantly fit this landscape with their authentic taste and nutritional profile.

The versatility of Latvian dairy products allows them to complement diverse culinary applications, from traditional Western dishes to innovative Asian fusion cuisine. Moreover, Latvian dairy producers adhere to transparent and hygienic production practices, making them suitable for halal-sensitive consumers seeking safe and ethically produced European dairy.

Strengthening Ties Through Shared Taste

Malaysia is one of key countries to start venturing into the Southeast Asia market where premium quality and food safety of Latvian dairy products are the paramount to consumers. According to the Malaysians’ preference of dairy products on milk, cheese, butter and spreads as well as yogurt, The Latvian Dairy Committee is confident to bring Latvian excellence directly to Malaysian households and retailers, offering consumers a new standard in taste and trust. It would be a perfect opportunity for Malaysian consumers to explore high quality dairy products and cheeses while innovating into the diverse eating culture in Malaysia.

Promoting Safety, Quality, and Animal Welfare

The campaign emphasizes three core themes: product safety, superior quality, and animal welfare—especially pertinent to the dairy sector. All participating Latvian products are manufactured under the strictest EU regulations, ensuring all products meet the highest global standards.
