The New Cap and a New Hulk
More than Sam’s debut as the Cap, the film marks the Red Hulk’s first-ever MCU appearance in Thaddeus Ross, played by the enigmatic Harrison Ford.
Home Credit Philippines (HCPH), the leading consumer finance
company in the country, is making waves in promoting wellness and community
engagement with its inaugural fun run, Takbo #ParaSaLife. Scheduled for February
16 at Parqal in Aseana City, this event invites Filipinos to kick
off the year with health and activity.
Each registration includes exciting perks such as an event
shirt, a finisher’s medal, a loot bag, and a bib holder, depending on the
chosen distance.
Events like Takbo #ParaSaLife are increasingly important,
especially given recent data from the World Health Organization (WHO)
indicating a global rise in physical inactivity—a significant risk factor for
chronic diseases. The Philippines ranks among the countries with the highest
rates, with 39.7% of the population affected by insufficient physical
activity.

I was able to attend the exclusive launch in Manila, and here are the best features of the new Galaxy smartphone series that will surely interest you.
