In support of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)’s mandate to adopt stronger, more adaptive security measures across the financial sector, Globe Business, Globe’s enterprise arm, is accelerating the shift toward next-generation authentication. Through a series of roadshows and ongoing collaborations with leading banks and financial institutions, Globe is helping organizations adopt API-based security frameworks that strengthen customer protection and prevent digital fraud. This pioneering move is critical in establishing a more resilient digital economy, setting new industry standards, and protecting the nation’s digital infrastructure.

Driving security innovation, powered by Globe API ecosystem

Powered by Globe’s ecosystem, this solution offers seamless and secure user verification, eliminating the vulnerabilities associated with traditional methods. This innovation is set to empower financial institutions to better protect their customers and build trust.

“Our commitment is rooted in nation-building. Globe provides the vital network infrastructure and drives next-generation authentication through APIs nationwide, ensuring digital assurance and ongoing innovation,” said Globe President and CEO Carl Cruz. “With these capabilities, we empower our customers to confidently accelerate their growth and cultivate a trusted digital ecosystem.”

Globe is a member operator of Bridge Alliance and was one of the earliest supporters of the Bridge Alliance API Exchange (BAEx), which extends Globe’s APIs to a broader ecosystem across Asia and beyond. BAEx enables global enterprises to seamlessly access Globe’s network capabilities, reaffirming Globe’s commitment to offering recognised, seamless and trusted API-powered solutions.

Moreover, Globe is expanding API accessibility through Concati, its marketplace for developers.  As an emerging platform, Concati connects regional developers to mobile network operators and API publishers. This approach opens access for local and regional enterprises to adopt secure, scalable APIs like SNA, driving seamless integration and accelerating innovation across Southeast Asia.

Globe’s CPaaS (Communication Platform-as-a-Service) business, M360, also plays a vital role. As an expert in global and local API aggregation, M360 ensures operational excellence and security at scale, empowering organizations to build secure digital ecosystems, both locally and internationally. “Operational excellence is the foundation of digital trust. Our focus is delivering certified security and authentication services that our customers can rely on to scale secure, intelligent, and rich customer experiences,” said Ramon Hirang, Chief Executive Officer of M360.

Leading the digital future

This Globe API ecosystem, comprising Globe Business, Concati, and M360, clearly defines the multi-party framework that cements Globe Business’s leadership in enterprise digital transformation. As a testament to this, Globe is actively building the future today through global certifications, regional alliances, and local API adoption, equipping Philippine enterprises to secure transactions, streamline user experiences, and confidently elevate their digital offerings.

The rigorous head-to-head comparison tested Couchbase and MongoDB against datasets of 100 million vectors with 768 dimensions, and 1 billion vectors with 128 dimensions, measuring QPS, response latency and recall accuracy across multiple retrieval configurations. The benchmark results reveal dramatic performance differences that become even more pronounced as applications require higher recall accuracy levels.

“When you’re building AI applications at scale, performance isn’t just a nice-to-have; it determines whether your application provides value that makes it worth adopting,” said BJ Schaknowski, CEO of Couchbase. “We see this with customers every day. They’re making infrastructure decisions right now that will either enable their AI initiatives or create bottlenecks they’ll struggle with for years. These benchmark results show what we already know: at billion-vector scale, architectural choices have massive implications for what you can actually deliver as GenAI-powered applications. Couchbase gives enterprises the performance and accuracy they need without the traditional trade-off between the two – all at lower total cost of ownership.”

Key Benchmark Findings

The testing demonstrates that Couchbase’s architecture enables organizations to simultaneously achieve both exceptional performance and high accuracy in vector search applications.

At optimized speed settings, Couchbase delivered 19,057 QPS with 28-millisecond latency at 66% recall accuracy, while MongoDB managed only 6 QPS at 57% recall with 62.6-second latency, representing a 3,176 times performance advantage for Couchbase. When configured for high-accuracy retrieval, Couchbase maintained 703 QPS with sub-second latency of 369 milliseconds at 93% recall accuracy. In contrast, MongoDB’s performance dropped to just 2 QPS with over 40 seconds of latency at 89% recall – giving Couchbase a 350 times throughput advantage while also delivering higher accuracy.

Technical Approach Drives Performance Advantages

Couchbase’s HVI leverages the DiskANN nearest-neighbor search algorithm with the Vamana directed graph construction algorithm, providing flexibility to operate in-memory and across partitioned disks for distributed processing and to maintain exceptional query performance while it scales. The architecture includes support for scalar quantization (SQ4), which reduces memory footprint while maintaining accuracy.

The benchmark testing used hardware-equivalent configurations on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure for both platforms, with four query nodes (64 cores, 128GB RAM each) and three data nodes (32 cores, 128GB RAM each) for each system. Both systems were tested against the same workloads with parameter configurations optimized for comparable breadth-of-search levels, where wider search settings drive higher recall accuracy.

The complete testing methodology and detailed results are available in the technical report “Comparing Vector Search Capabilities of MongoDB and Couchbase by Benchmarking Using VectorDBBench.” The results show that Couchbase delivers more work, with less latency, and significantly lower costs per operation. 

Implications for Enterprise AI Applications

Every second of delay in AI applications translates to frustrated users, abandoned transactions and lost revenue. For enterprises deploying AI at scale, database performance is not just a technical detail, it is the difference between AI that delivers business value and AI that becomes expensive shelfware. The benchmark results demonstrate that architectural choices have profound implications for application responsiveness, infrastructure costs and scalability.

Availability

Couchbase 8.0 with HVI capabilities, also announced this week, is now generally available for both self-managed and Capella-based deployments. Organizations can deploy across on-premises, cloud and edge environments to support their AI application requirements.

This year’s LearnCon PH takes on a more transformative approach through the integration with the National Career Expo (NCEx) Kick-Off for School Year 2025–2026. These activities help students build leadership and decision-making skills while connecting them with industry, business, and school partners to learn about future career opportunities.

Aligned with the 5-Point Reform Agenda of Education Secretary Sonny Angara, the four-day event also features leadership workshops, innovation labs, and dialogue sessions designed to empower students as active partners in shaping school communities.

“Dito ninyo maipapahayag ang inyong mga saloobin tungkol sa mga isyung panlipunan, makapagpapresenta ng inyong mga proyekto, at makikilahok sa mga workshop, thematic sessions, at Project Pitching Exercises. Gamitin ninyo ang pagkakataong ito para magtanong, makinig, at magbahagi,” noted Angara.

Carrying the theme “#GalingKabataan: Boses Mo, Bukas Natin,” this year’s LearnCon PH highlights the vital role of youth voices in addressing social issues and shaping an inclusive, forward-looking society and serves as the largest face-to-face engagement of learners and education stakeholders from all 18 regions. 

A total of 2,061 learner-participants representing all School Division Offices nationwide are attending the convergence. Delegates include learners from both the formal and alternative education systems, Indigenous Peoples (IP) groups, and learners with disabilities (LWDs).

“Sa loob ng apat na araw ng LearnCon, pag-uusapan natin ang mga mahahalagang isyu tulad ng leadership and civic engagement, health and well-being, gender and social inclusion, climate action, innovation and entrepreneurship, culture and peace, pati na rin ang mga programa para sa Alternative Learning System, indigenous people, at learners with disability,” said Education Undersecretary for Operations Malcolm S. Garma.

Other program highlights include the launch of the Landas Toolkit, a resource to guide students in career planning; the Learners’ Congress, which builds policy-making and governance skills; and Project Pitching Sessions, where learners present innovative ideas to a panel of experts.

“LearnCon is a safe space for ideas,” Usec. Garma added. “Huwag kayo matakot, huwag kayong mahiyang magtanong at magbahagi. Tulad ng mga nagdaang taon, ang LearnCon ay isang ligtas na espasyo, isang avenue for dialogue, debate, at creative expression. Dito, kayo mismo ang bida.”

Also on the schedule are simultaneous thematic sessions on pressing national issues, a Youth Leaders Forum featuring dialogues with sector leaders, and a Learners’ Night celebrating youth creativity and camaraderie.

DepEd said the LearnCon PH 2025 aims to affirm the youth’s role as “co-creators of an inclusive, empowered, and sustainable nation” by giving them a seat and a voice in shaping the country’s education and development agenda.

The collaboration comes at a critical time, as cyberattacks in the Philippines continue to rise in volume and complexity. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, more than 1.2 million compromised credentials belonging to Filipinos were discovered on the dark web, reflecting widespread exposure to data exploitation. The country also remains a persistent target for phishing attacks, revealing weakness to credential theft and social engineering. With the increasing availability of tools such as Malware-as-a-Service, traditional perimeter-based defenses are no longer enough.

Through this partnership, Globe Business and Cyble aim to help organizations stay ahead of evolving threats by combining local enterprise expertise with Cyble’s deep capabilities in dark web monitoring and AI-powered risk detection. The solution collects, processes, and analyzes data from multiple layers of the internet to provide early warnings on potential attacks, leaked credentials, and brand impersonations before they escalate into costly incidents.

“The fight against cybercrime is now a race of intelligence and speed,” said KD Dizon, Head of Globe Business. “Our partnership with Cyble is about democratizing that power, equipping Philippine enterprises with AI-driven foresight so they can move beyond simply reacting to breaches and achieve proactive, data-informed resilience.”

Cyble’s technology is built on Agentic AI and the BlazeAI engine, designed to operate autonomously and continuously learn from emerging threat patterns. Its AI-native architecture enables the system to process over 20 billion pages each day, monitoring more than 15,000 cybercrime sources in real-time. This allows security teams to detect data leaks, exposed assets, or fraudulent domains instantly and act before harm occurs.

“The Philippines faces some of the world’s fastest-growing cyber risks,” said Beenu Arora, Co-founder and CEO of Cyble. “Through this partnership, we aim to help enterprises stay one step ahead of attackers by combining the scale of AI with the local expertise of Globe Business.”

The solution offers wide applications across industries. Banks and financial institutions can identify compromised customer data early and block fraudulent activity. Retail and e-commerce businesses can safeguard their brand integrity and customer trust by detecting counterfeit products or cases of unauthorized brand use.. Government agencies can monitor chatter around planned attacks or data breaches, allowing early preventive action. Even at the executive level, organizations can detect personal data exposure and malicious social engineering attempts against their leadership and supply chain partners.

This partnership solidifies Globe Business’ commitment to guiding companies through secure digital transformation, ensuring their digital future is built on a foundation of trust and intelligence. As Cybersecurity Month 2025 underscores the global mandate for stronger cyber resilience, Globe Business urges organizations to move definitively from outdated, reactive defense to proactive, AI-driven prevention, a necessity for operating successfully in the modern digital economy.

The Mega Evolution of the Flycatcher Pokémon Victreebel—Mega Victreebel—appears in Pokémon Legends: Z-A! Please forward to Victreebel’s Mega-Evolved Form; its body gets swollen and full of acid that looks ready to burst out at any moment!

To know more about the Mega Victreebel from Pokémon Legends: Z-A, please go to the official Pokémon YouTube channel and check the video, “Mega Victreebel Raises a Stink! | Pokémon Legends: Z-A” at https://youtu.be/ala25Wsplak

Its body has swollen as a result of Mega Evolution. Even the leaves on top of its head have grown bigger. (pic 1)

It flaps the leaves on its sides and moves its large body by bouncing around. (pic 2)

It opens its large mouth to let loose a Sludge Bomb. It looks more like a Victreebel when it has deflated. (pic 3)

To move around, it flaps the leaves on its sides and bounces its large body. It has so much acid that even closing its mouth tight isn’t enough to hold it in, so it contains the acid by wrapping its own vines around its throat. (pic4)

Mega Victreebel’s Unique Features

A large amount of acid is stockpiled inside its body, which has grown larger as a result of Mega Evolution.

Mega Victreebel

Category: Flycatcher Pokémon

Type: Grass/Poison

Height: 14’9″ (4.5 m)

Weight: 276.7 lbs. (125.5 kg)

• It’s got so much acid that it’s on the verge of spitting it up!

• It wraps its own vines around its throat to keep the acid from spilling out.

The energy of Mega Evolution has produced such a large amount of acid within its body that it always has to wrap up its own throat! As a result, it doesn’t keep its mouth open while waiting for prey like Victreebel does. Instead, it actively goes after prey to take it down in a distinctively aggressive style. Its massive body can deliver tackles that are packed with destructive force!

• It’s not just the volume that’s overwhelming—its acid gives off a powerfully sweet scent and can even melt through steel!

When all that acid has matured, it smells sweet enough to make others dizzy. Mega Victreebel waves the leaves on top of its head to waft the scent toward opponents, immobilizing them and giving it an edge in battle. The acid’s melting capabilities are also powered up! It can even melt through concrete or steel, so Trainers who use Mega Victreebel in battle will need to keep that in mind.

Mega Victreebel’s Special Video

There have been rumors about a mysteriously sweet scent coming from a certain building. Check out this found footage exploring the building’s darkened halls—parts of which seem to have been melted. What truths about Mega Victreebel and its Trainer will spill out by the end?
