Miss Universe 2018 and OGAWA Philippines’ beloved brand ambassador Catriona Gray lit up the store with her recent visit, radiating joy, warmth, and genuine appreciation for the brand that has become a meaningful part of her personal self-care routine.

Miss Universe 2018 and OGAWA Philippines’ beloved brand ambassador Catriona Gray lit up the store with her recent visit, radiating joy, warmth, and genuine appreciation for the brand that has become a meaningful part of her personal self-care routine. Fresh from reconnecting with the OGAWA community, Catriona shared how the brand continues to support her busy lifestyle. “Wellness is something we should give ourselves every day,” she said during her visit. “With OGAWA, I truly feel that sense of calm, care, and love at home.”

Her visit highlighted her deep connection with OGAWA and reaffirmed her belief in prioritizing one’s well-being. As she explored OGAWA’s flagship offerings,the Smart Reluxe V3 and the MyZonic Lux, Catriona emphasized how both models have helped elevate her approach to rest and recovery, especially during hectic schedules.

The Smart Reluxe V3, now available at a special promotional price of Php 179,000.00 from its SRP of Php 259,000.00, stood out as one of Catriona’s favorites. She admired its smart health monitoring features for blood oxygen and heart rate, which help her stay mindful of her wellness even on packed days. She also highlighted the three Zero Gravity modes, describing them as “a feeling of weightless comfort that melts the stress away,” and praised its twelve automatic programs that cater to different moods, whether she needs energy, relaxation, or deep relief. The hands-free voice command allows her to relax without interruption, while the heat massage mode provides soothing warmth that eases tension after back-to-back commitments.

Catriona was equally impressed by the MyZonic Lux, now priced at Php 149,000.00 from its SRP of Php 249,000.00. She described the experience as “like bringing a personal spa home,” thanks to its advanced 4D massage mechanism that mimics the skilled touch of a therapist. Its attentive body scan and extended SL-track curve perfectly adapt to the body’s contours, giving relief from the neck down to the glutes. With full-body air compression, lumbar heat therapy, immersive audio, and twelve premium auto programs, Catriona shared that the MyZonic Lux helps her recharge after long days of shoots, travels, and hosting engagements.

Her inspiring visit reinforces OGAWA’s message that the gift of love is something we should give ourselves, not once a year, but every day. For Catriona, OGAWA is more than a brand; it is a daily reminder that rest, comfort, and well-being should always be part of our routine. “We give so much of ourselves to others,” she shared, “but we also need to give love to ourselves. OGAWA helps make that easier.”

Bitget Supports Grassroots Football at La Liga Youth Tournament in Manila

 


 Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), took part in La Liga’s Youth Tournament in Manila, supporting one of Asia’s most exciting grassroots football events focused on promoting sport, community, and camaraderie. Held from November 14 to 16 at the New Clark City Athletics Stadium, the tournament brought together more than 7,000 young players, families, and coaches for three days of competition, community spirit, and youth development.

Bitget’s presence centered on creating a welcoming space for parents and children through its Blockchain4Youth initiative. The booth featured a simple penalty shoot-out activity where kids could unwind between matches, with successful attempts rewarded with complimentary refreshments and La Liga x Bitget branded items. For many families, it became an easy meeting point, offering shade, water, and moments of fun amid a packed tournament schedule.

The event was designed purely around community value. Bitget chose to support an event that was centered around discipline, teamwork, and sportsmanship, qualities that are closely related to the company's long-standing youth empowerment initiatives, rather than showcasing products or platforms. Across the weekend, the booth drew long lines of young participants, reinforcing the tournament's festive atmosphere while creating positive touchpoints with parents and local football communities.

“I’ve always believed that the love for football starts early, often on the streets or fields just like this,” said Ignacio Aguirre, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitget. “Being part of La Liga’s Youth Tournament means a lot to us because it’s about supporting passion at the age where it matters most. These kids play with joy, ambition, and imagination, the same qualities that shape great futures, whether in sports or beyond.”

After matchday festivities, viewing parties, and school outreach initiatives throughout the year, the activation was the most recent phase of Bitget's broader partnership with La Liga across Asia. Given that the Philippines is one of the most active sports communities in Southeast Asia, Bitget had a chance to quietly and positively contribute to the competition, fostering cultural ties without using commercial messaging.

Partnerships like this demonstrate Bitget’s conviction that technology and culture flourish when rooted in authentic communities, as it continues to develop into a comprehensive Universal Exchange (UEX). One of the most crucial strategies for fostering trust and developing young people in the area is still to support youth sports.

Bitget, The Ascent Project distribute P100k relief aid to Cebu earthquake victims

  

Leading universal exchange (UEX) platform Bitget extended its support to communities affected by the recent 6.9 magnitude earthquake in northern Cebu by sending P100,000 relief goods to victims.

In partnership with The Ascent Project, the donation drive included food packs and hygiene kits distributed to 118 residents in Bogo City and San Remigio who were heavily impacted by the disaster.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stressed the importance of teamwork in the community through the Filipino value of kabayanihan, during disasters such as this.

“My heart goes out to people that have been struggling during this difficult time. Our community in Cebu has helped us stand with those in need during such distress, we hope to support and continue building trust,” Chen said.

The relief operation took place last November 2, and was mobilized through Bitget’s local trading community, one of the company’s longest-running grassroots groups in Southeast Asia.

“Bitget remains committed to extending its presence beyond trading platforms and contributing to meaningful, on ground support where its communities need it most,” Chen emphasized.

This initiative also forms part of Bitget’s broader global impact strategy, which includes long-term partnerships, such as its collaboration with United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), to expand digital and blockchain education to over 1 million young people by 2027.

As recovery in northern Cebu continues, Bitget and its Philippine community partners are evaluating additional ways to provide assistance and support for rebuilding initiatives.

“We have always been more than just a crypto exchange platform, and this act reflects our approach to work directly with user communities to identify urgent needs and provide timely support,” she added.
