Over 80 bankers from EastWest completed the Singapore Management University (SMU) Wealth Management Programme
East West Banking Corporation (EastWest) marked the graduation of over 80 bankers from the Singapore Management University (SMU) Wealth Management Programme, reinforcing the Bank’s strategic investment in talent development and client-centered advisory excellence.
The five-month executive learning program brought together participants from across the Bank and its affiliates. Designed in partnership with SMU Executive Development, the program curriculum focused on honing knowledge and skills around market and product mastery, portfolio construction, suitability, duty of care, stewardship, and high-stakes client conversations, helping EastWest bankers move from product-led conversations to trusted advisory relationships.
“When we began this partnership with SMU, we were making an investment in talent, in capability, and in the next generation of EastWest advisors,” said EastWest CEO Jerry G. Ngo. “EastWest invests in systems, platforms, and products. But our most important investment is in our people, because people build the relationships that define this Bank’s reputation.”
SMU Executive Development said the program was designed to help EastWest bankers connect technical expertise with stronger advisory judgment and client trust.
“The wealth management landscape requires advisors who can combine market knowledge, client insight, and ethical judgment,” said Eddie Tritton, Executive Director, SMU Executive Development. “We worked with EastWest to create a practical learning journey that helps participants apply technical concepts to real client situations, especially in moments where trust, suitability and long-term stewardship matter most.”
For the participants, the program strengthened both advisory confidence and client engagement discipline.
“The program reminded us that wealth management is about knowing what truly matters to the clients,” said Monina Delartmente, First Vice President and Head of Metro Manila South Region and Business Development. “We learned that a good advisor’s success is defined by how much peace of mind we give our client and how well we can protect them from unnecessary risks. And our impact will not be measured by returns alone, but by the trust our clients place in us.”
“Clients need people they can trust. Someone who understands their situation well enough to give honest, considered, and useful advice, even when the honest answer is to wait, to stay the course, or to do something they did not expect,” Ngo added. “That is what a trusted advisor does, and that is what this program was designed to build.”
The graduation also recognized outstanding project teams for demonstrating strong client understanding, portfolio logic, suitability discipline, and advisory judgment.
“Our aspiration is to develop Relationship Managers who can become the client’s trusted advisor across financial needs and life stages,” said Rafael S. Algarra Jr., Senior Executive Vice President and Head of Financial Markets and Wealth Management. “That means being able to address not just investments, but broader aspirations such as liquidity, protection, income, growth, retirement, education, business needs, succession, estate planning, and wealth transfer.”
The EastWest–SMU Wealth Management Program is part of the Bank’s broader push to strengthen its wealth management business, deepen client relationships, and build an advisory culture anchored on trust, suitability, and long-term stewardship.
Build a stronger financial foundation for life’s next big milestones with PSBank
Hitting 30 is a MAJOR vibe shift. It’s that era when you outgrow the temporary and start investing in the enduring. You’re no longer just getting by—you’re rethinking your priorities with goals that offer a long-term value. At this stage, you choose the ones that give you peace of mind and focus on things that you’ve always wanted.
1. Trade the “sana” mindset into a “now na!” strategy
Adulthood isn’t about having a massive windfall, it’s about having a system. Instead of keeping all your money in one “everything” pile, giving your funds to a specific home—like a dedicated savings or checking account—is the first step toward stability.
2. Open an account anytime, anywhere
Opening an account shouldn’t be a whole-day affair. You can start your journey on the PSBank Mobile app to open a Savings Account. All it takes is one valid ID and a selfie. Even better, you can open an account with no initial deposit. It’s the easiest way to start fresh.
3. Turn your phone into a financial bestie
In your 30s, staying on top of your finances shouldn’t require extra effort. With PSBank Mobile, you can monitor your balance, track your progress, and manage your accounts anytime, anywhere. For added peace of mind, you can also lock and unlock your ATM card, update your PIN, and adjust account settings right from the app. It’s a simple way to stay in control of your money while keeping your ipon secure—giving you confidence that your funds are exactly where they need to be.
4. Check all your bayarins with an easy-to-maintain checking account
When you hit the stage of paying rent, tuition, or property amortizations, a standard savings account might not be enough. A PSBank Premium Peso Checking Account lets you issue checks for your big commitments, but here’s the kicker—it’s an interest-bearing account. It offers higher yields than regular accounts through a tiered structure, making it the ultimate multitasker for your money.
5. Say goodbye to the anxiety of Ate Judith
Yes, we all know her. She always comes for everyone every month to haunt our paychecks. For busy professionals, you may want to set up auto-debit arrangements to ensure your monthly dues are settled on time, every time. It’s a simple solution for a trentahin who often overlooks settling bills.
6. Gatekeep your savings from impulse purchases
Admit it—those late-night shopping sessions, especially during double-digit sales, can be hard to resist. One way to stay on track with your financial goals is by setting aside money where you’re less tempted to spend it. Through PSBank Mobile, you can open a PSBank Peso Time Deposit with a minimum deposit of PHP 10,000 and choose a term of 30, 60, or 90 days. It encourages discipline by keeping your ipon out of reach while earning returns, marking you safe from any impulse purchases.
7. Get a support that never sleeps
Financial hiccups don’t keep office hours. Another ultimate pro-tip as someone in your 30s is knowing you have reliable support on standby. Whether it’s a question about your savings or an app concern, the PSBank 24/7 Customer Experience Hotline is always there through the PSBank Facebook ISSA Chatbot or through its hotline at (02) 8845-8888.
From building your first savings to securing your future milestones, there’s always a simple and reliable solution with PSBank to keep your goals within reach. Open a PSBank Savings Account through PSBank Mobile or visit a PSBank branch near you. To learn more, visit www.psbank.com.ph or follow PSBank on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
Myles Smith releases his debut album ‘My Mess, My Heart, My Life.’, the most personal and ambitious project of his career to date.
The release arrives at a remarkable moment in Myles’ rise. Earlier this month he kicked off his biggest world tour to date, spanning North America, Europe and the UK, and this November will headline a sold-out show at London’s The O2 – a milestone that sees him sell out one of the UK’s most iconic venues before the release of his debut album.
Speaking about the album, Myles says:
“This album is the most personal thing I’ve ever made. It came from looking back at old therapy notes, memories and experiences that shaped who I am, and trying to make sense of them through music. Every song reflects a different part of that journey – family, love, loss, mental health and self-discovery. More than anything, ‘My Mess, My Heart, My Life.’ is about learning to accept your past, understanding yourself a little better, and finding hope in the fact that we’re all a work in progress.”
Over the past two years, Myles has established himself as one of the UK’s most exciting new artists, amassing more than 4.7 billion streams worldwide, attracting more than 23.5 million monthly Spotify listeners, winning the 2025 BRIT Rising Star Award, earning an Ivor Novello Award for Most Performed Work for ‘Stargazing’ and seeing ‘Nice To Meet You’ become the most played song across UK radio, television and public spaces throughout 2025, while building a global fanbase through his emotionally direct songwriting and powerful live performances. His breakthrough single ‘Stargazing’ is now certified 3x Platinum in the UK, while subsequent releases including ‘Nice To Meet You’ have continued to cement his position as one of Britain’s defining new voices.
His breakthrough single ‘Stargazing’ has now accumulated more than 2.09 billion streams globally, while releases including ‘Nice To Meet You’, ‘Gold’, ‘Stay (If You Wanna Dance)’ and ‘Drive Safe’ featuring Niall Horan have introduced Myles to audiences around the world. ‘My Mess, My Heart, My Life.’ builds on that momentum, bringing together the themes, stories and experiences that have shaped his journey so far.
Built around three interconnected themes – Mess, Heart and Life – the album explores family, grief, identity, mental health, love and self-acceptance, forming Myles’ most honest and revealing body of work to date.
The album’s title serves as both its emotional framework and guiding principle. Across fifteen tracks, Myles revisits formative moments from throughout his life, examining childhood experiences, family relationships, personal struggles and the people who helped shape him.
Opening with the striking title track ‘My Mess’, Myles reflects on the impact of a fractured upbringing and the complexities of growing up. Elsewhere, ‘Grandma’s Place’ offers a moving reflection on family, memory and missed opportunities, while ‘Sertraline’ sees him speak candidly about anxiety, depression and the importance of emotional openness.
Throughout the album, Myles continues to expand the scope of his songwriting. ‘Mary’s Song’ shines a light on the experiences of women affected by abuse and hardship, while songs such as ‘Lifetime’, ‘Dying Days’ and ‘Heaven’ explore love, devotion and the passage of time.
Speaking on ‘Heaven’, Myles says: “‘Heaven’ was inspired by watching some of my closest friends get married and start families of their own. Seeing that kind of love up close made me think about the people who bring peace, stability and joy into our lives. It’s a song about finding someone who makes the world feel a little lighter and realising that, sometimes, heaven isn’t a place – it’s a person”.
Among the album’s standout moments is current single ‘Hold Me In The Dark’, a song centred around connection, reassurance and finding light during uncertain times. Since its release, the track has continued to gather momentum, earning A List support at both BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 2 while soundtracking a run of major moments including performances at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend alongside Niall Horan, The One Show and Capital’s Summertime Ball.
Earlier this year, Myles was named the recipient of the BRIT Rising Star Award and collected the Ivor Novello Award for Most Performed Work for ‘Stargazing’, while PPL recently confirmed that ‘Nice To Meet You’ was the most played song across UK radio, television and public spaces throughout 2025.
The album arrives as Myles enters the biggest chapter of his live career so far. The 2026 world tour spans headline dates across North America, Europe and the UK alongside a series of stadium appearances supporting Ed Sheeran, before culminating in arena dates across the UK and Ireland this November, including the sold-out headline show at London’s The O2.
With ‘My Mess, My Heart, My Life.’, Myles Smith delivers a debut album that captures not only where he is today, but everything that brought him here.
Alongside the success of ‘Stargazing’, Myles’ catalogue continues to resonate globally, with ‘Nice To Meet You’ now certified Platinum in the UK, while ‘A Minute’ is certified Gold and ‘Gold’, ‘My Home’, ‘Solo’, ‘Stay (If You Wanna Dance)’ and ‘Wait For You’ have all achieved Silver certification.
Every Filipino family has a story of sacrifice and perseverance behind the wealth they’ve built. Sun Life Grepa Financial, Inc. (Sun Life Grepa) wants to make sure that story doesn’t end with them.
Across Asia, an estimated USD5.8 trillion* in family wealth is expected to change hands between generations by 2030, the largest intergenerational transfer in the region’s history. Yet despite growing awareness of the need to plan, most families haven’t taken the steps to protect what they’ve built. Wills go unwritten. Succession plans stay unfinished. And wealth that took decades to build can unravel in a single transition.
Sun Life Grepa Premier Legacy is designed to close that gap: giving High-Net-Worth Filipino families the tools to transfer wealth on their own terms, with clarity, control, and continuity.
Protection That Covers the Moments That Matter Most
The plan provides life insurance coverage equivalent to 200% of the face amount from day one through age 100, ensuring families have the financial stability they need during life’s most critical transitions – estate settlement, business succession, or the protection of shared family assets.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
It is anchored on three commitments:
• Protecting and preserving wealth – Coverage is structured to maintain estate value and provide the liquidity families need, so that when the time comes to pass the torch, there’s enough left to make it count.
• Keeping the plan running, no matter what – Built-in provisions ensure that family interests remain protected even when the policyholder is no longer able to make decisions.
• Leaving a legacy that reflects your values – For families who want their impact to extend beyond their household, the plan allows charitable giving to be built into their succession strategy.
In addition, two features make Sun Grepa Premier Legacy stand out. The Legacy Settlement Option gives policyholders control over how and when benefits reach their benefits, whether paid out over a set period or released in structured installments, ensuring inherited wealth is received and managed the way the policyholder intended. The Mental Incapacity Benefit, a first in the Philippine market, allows a pre-designated trusted individual to access defined benefits if the policyholder becomes unable to manage the plan due to illness or injury, ensuring family interests remain protected during vulnerable transition periods.
The plan also builds long-term value through potential dividend earnings, and comes with VIP benefits including priority service, medical concierge access, and exclusive legacy planning forums. Its optimized pricing structure further allows clients to secure substantial coverage at a more efficient cost — maximizing the value of their protection.
For Families Who Want What They’ve Built to Last
“True wealth is not measured solely by what we accumulate, but by what we are able to preserve and pass on,” said Richard Lim, President of Sun Life Grepa. “Sun Grepa Premier Legacy is designed for individuals and families who recognize that legacy requires intention. It provides a way to protect, grow and transfer wealth efficiently, helping people create more value for future generations.”
A smartphone can be one of the most useful tools in your daily routine, but it can also be a source of frustration when it falls short at the wrong moment. Running low on battery before the day is over, dealing with lag during a casual gaming session, worrying about rain damaging your device, or spending extra time editing photos are challenges many users know all too well.
The OPPO A6s 5G takes aim at these everyday pain points with features designed around how people actually use their smartphones. From staying powered throughout busy days to delivering smoother performance and smarter photo enhancements, here’s how the OPPO A6s 5G handles them with ease.
Phones That Can’t Handle Everyday Mishaps
A smartphone can face plenty of hazards throughout the day. From getting caught in an unexpected downpour during your commute, to using your device with wet hands after a workout, accidents can happen when you least expect them. For users who spend time outdoors, dust and unpredictable weather can add another layer of concern.
The OPPO A6s 5G features IP69 Water and Dust Resistance, designed to help safeguard your device against the elements. Combined with Splash Touch and Glove Touch, you can stay connected and in control even with wet hands or while wearing gloves. Wherever the day takes you, the OPPO A6s 5G delivers durability you can count on.
Battery Life That Doesn’t Last
Running out of battery before the day ends remains one of the most common frustrations among smartphone users. A typical day filled with work, school, entertainment, and social media can put a constant strain on battery life, making frequent charging part of the routine. As devices age, that challenge often becomes even more noticeable as battery performance gradually declines.
From attending online classes and managing work tasks, to scrolling through social media and catching up with friends over mobile games, the OPPO A6s 5G is equipped with a massive 7000mAh Large Battery designed to keep pace with busy days. Beyond impressive capacity, the battery is engineered for long-term durability, offering up to 5 Years Durable Battery performance to help maintain reliable power over time. Paired with 60-Month Fluency Protection, the OPPO A6s 5G is built to deliver a smooth and consistent experience year after year, making it a dependable companion designed with longevity in mind.
Slowdowns That Disrupt Entertainment
A great smartphone experience goes beyond performance, it should look smooth, sound immersive, and stay responsive when it matters most. The OPPO A6s 5G delivers on all fronts with a 120Hz Ultra Bright Display that provides fluid visuals and enhanced visibility even under bright outdoor conditions. Complementing the display are Dual Stereo Speakers, creating a fuller and more immersive audio experience for everyday content.
For users who demand sustained performance, the SuperCool VC System helps manage heat efficiently, while AI GameBoost 2.0 optimizes system resources to support smoother, more responsive gameplay during extended sessions. Together, these features help ensure a consistently enjoyable experience whether you’re watching, browsing, or gaming.
Photos That Need Too Much Fixing
Advanced photo editing is no longer limited to professional software. With the OPPO A6s 5G, a range of intelligent imaging tools makes it easier to enhance photos directly on your smartphone. It includes AI Eraser 2.0 for removing unwanted elements, AI Unblur for improving image sharpness, and AI Clarity Enhancer for bringing out greater detail. Complementing these are creative tools such as AI Perfect Shot, AI Recompose, and AI Studio, which provide additional flexibility for refining and reimagining photos. Together, they help users achieve polished results quickly and intuitively.
Finding Your Everyday Companion
The OPPO A6 is ideal for users looking for dependable performance and generous storage. It comes in Sakura Pink, Sapphire Blue, and Aurora Gold, and is available in 4GB + 256GB for Php 17,999 and 8GB + 256GB for Php 20,999.
Users who want the added benefits of 5G connectivity can opt for the OPPO A6s 5G, available in Ice White and Cappuccino Brown. It comes in a 6GB + 128GB variant priced at Php 22,999 and an 8GB + 256GB variant priced at Php 25,999.

Freelancers learn how to create and use their GCash Virtual US Account
At a time of rising costs and economic uncertainty, freelancing has emerged as a growing source of opportunity. As more Filipinos turn to freelancing as a viable long-term career, many are adopting digital tools like the GCash Virtual US Account to simplify cross-border payments.
Recognizing this, the GCash Freelancer Connect, a series of community events designed to bring freelancers based in different cities in the country, made its way to Pampanga for its first regional leg. Attendees gathered to learn from speakers KD Creatives and Dani Jacobe, who led practical sessions on how to diversify income streams, charge more competitive prices, and build greater financial confidence with the support of tools like GCash. Here are key insights shared during the event:
Strong relationships create steady opportunities
With more Filipinos entering the freelancing industry, standing out has become a bigger challenge. For Dani Jacobe, building meaningful connections – and knowing how to communicate value clearly – makes all the difference.
“Your goal is not just to find one client. Your goal is to build a system that helps you keep finding and serving clients,” she shared.
What she has learned over the years is that outreach should go beyond simply introducing one’s services. Freelancers should learn to identify problems, offer clear solutions, and create opportunities for intentional conversations from the very beginning.
“Your skill becomes more valuable when you connect it to a specific business need,” she added.
Be confident in your worth
For Kyla Dizon, the journey to becoming “KD Creatives” didn’t happen overnight. Before building her online community around content creation and offering digital guides and advice through her platform, she experienced self-doubt and pressure as a young freelancer. One area where that hit hard was in communicating her value to potential clients.
“The truth is, a lot of freelancers are incredibly talented, but still undercharge because they haven’t fully recognized the value of what they bring to the table,” she explained.
The turning point came when she stopped pricing from a place of fear or being scared that clients would walk away because she’d be too expensive and instead, began pricing from a place of confidence. But that confidence, Kyla noted, came only once she fully embraced her personal brand as a freelancer.
“Now, I approach pricing differently — not based on fear, but on the value and experience I know I can deliver,” she explained. During the Freelancer Connect, she urged attendees to use a pricing matrix, which she has made available online, to accurately determine how much they should charge clients for the services they offer.
Receiving payments should not feel complicated
Another common challenge freelancers face is receiving payments, especially from overseas clients, where the process is often inefficient. To address this, GCash has introduced the Virtual US Account, a feature designed to make receiving USD payments easier.
Users can now receive USD transfers directly from US-based clients using their own routing and account numbers, similar to a traditional US bank, within the GCash app. This feature helps freelancers avoid unnecessary deductions, hidden fees, and lengthy transfer processes, while also ensuring competitive forex rates. Users can convert their USD to PHP when it is most favorable for them – they have full control of when they want to withdraw it into their GCash e-wallet.
“We want to ensure that freelancers in the Philippines can receive and manage their money in the most convenient way possible and in a manner that ensures they don’t lose so much of their hard-earned cash. Once in your Virtual US Account, you can access and manage your earnings instantly inside the GCash app – whether that’s converting to PHP, paying bills, buying load, or even growing your wealth through our financial services,” shared Sophia Sison, Product Manager under the International Business Group at GCash.
Create your Virtual US Account today
As freelancing continues to grow across the country, GCash hopes initiatives like the Freelancer Connect can help create more spaces where freelancers feel supported — not just financially, but as a community navigating a rapidly changing world of work together.
Creating your Virtual US Account is easy:
1. Open the GCash app – Tap US Accounts in the Explore the App section
Long before “moneymaxxing” became a trend, dads were already experts at it. They’re the ones who compare prices before buying, keep money set aside “just in case,” and find ways to make every peso go further. What once felt like classic dad behavior turns out to be surprisingly relevant today.
Here are a few dad-approved ways to moneymaxx with Maya, the country’s #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform.
Some Experiences Are Worth Saying Yes To
Dads have a way of reminding us that value and price aren’t always the same thing. The things that matter most are often the moments you remember long after the occasion is over: a family meal, a weekend getaway, or even a trip you’ve been talking about for months.
For families planning their next trip, the Maya Black Credit Card helps make every journey more rewarding. Cardholders can earn up to 10x Maya Miles at Maya Black Preferred merchants, while its Visa-powered acceptance makes it easy to use whether you’re booking flights, paying for accommodations, or exploring a new destination abroad.
To make travel even more comfortable, cardholders also enjoy complimentary quarterly airport lounge access at select local and international airports, helping elevate the experience before the trip even begins.
And for some experiences that may cost a little more than usual, Maya’s Mini Payments feature makes it easier to manage posted Maya Credit Card transactions by converting them into 3, 6, 9, or 12-month installment plans at a fixed 1% monthly interest rate. Even better, Mini Payments created until September 30, 2026 come with zero processing fees.
Because sometimes the best gift isn’t another thing, it’s time spent together.
Don’t Pay Full Price If You Don’t Have To
If there’s one thing many dads seem universally allergic to, it’s paying more than necessary.
Whether it’s comparing prices, finding a better deal, or taking advantage of a good promo, getting more value from spending has always been part of the playbook.
Today, people have a different name for it: moneymaxxing. The idea is simple: if you’re already spending money, why not get something back from it?
Maya Black cardholders can redeem the Maya Miles they’ve accumulated for vouchers for shopping, dining, and more, helping stretch the value of purchases they’ve already made.
For those who prefer more immediate savings, the Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card offers 5% cashback at Landers, 2% cashback on dining, and 1% cashback on most purchases. And for anyone who refuses to pay full price at the pump, using the card at Landers-Caltex stations comes with a ₱7.00-per-liter discount on gasoline.
Give Something That Can Grow Over Time
If there’s one gift many dads appreciate, it’s knowing their family is prepared for the future. Instead of another mug, polo shirt, or last-minute purchase, consider giving something that can continue creating value over time. That could mean helping kickstart a travel fund, contributing to an emergency fund, or setting aside money for a future goal.
With Maya Savings, users can earn up to 15% interest p.a. while growing their money. For those saving toward multiple goals, Maya Personal Goals lets users create up to five personalized savings accounts, making it easier to organize funds for different priorities, whether that’s a dream trip, an emergency fund, a new gadget, or a major milestone.
And for money that can stay untouched a little longer, Maya Time Deposit Plus offers another way to grow savings over a fixed period, with rates of up to 6% p.a. and the flexibility to top up funds anytime.
Have a Backup Plan for Unexpected Expenses
Dads also know that even the best plans don’t always go according to plan. A car repair, a medical expense, or an unexpected bill can appear when you least expect it. That’s why flexibility can be just as important as planning.
For short-term funding needs, Maya Easy Credit offers access to up to ₱50,000, repayable within 30 days. For bigger expenses that may require longer repayment terms, Maya Personal Loan offers up to ₱250,000 with flexible monthly payment options—all within the Maya app and without the usual paperwork or collateral.
The Real Dad-Approved Money Move
The funny thing about moneymaxxing is that many of its core ideas aren’t actually new. The tools may look different today, but the goal remains surprisingly familiar: making your money work a little harder without losing sight of what matters most.
And that’s probably something dads would approve of.

Smart golf tool sends precise distances to compatible devices,
giving players extra confidence when making decisions on the course
Manila, Philippines – Garmin unveiled Approach® Z10, a compact laser rangefinder that provides precise measurements1 to the pin of up to 350 yards with six times magnification. Weighing less than 7 ounces, the rangefinder is smaller and lighter than most smartphones and offers powerful attributes, including Garmin’s Range Relay feature which sends ranged distances to a compatible smartwatch, handheld or the Garmin Golf™ smartphone app. Once the target has been locked in, players can see a laser range arc on their paired devices that reveals everything in play as well as distances to the front and back of the green to quickly understand where the pin is located2.
“For players that use a Garmin smartwatch or golf handheld on the course, the Approach Z10 can supercharge their devices, making them extremely precise with measurements to the pin, the front and back of the green and everything else in play. We understand the importance of having accurate distances when you’re deciding which club to use and how you approach each shot.”
–Susan Lyman, Garmin Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing
Ready for the round
Quickly range distance to the pin: View distance to the pin and the front and back of the green, with vibrational feedback to know when the rangefinder is locked in on its target.
Dynamic distance: Ranged distances synced to a compatible Garmin device stay dynamic, automatically adjusting as players approach the target. No need to re-range before each shot.
PlaysLike distance: See how far each shot should play directly through the viewfinder, with yardage adjusted for elevation changes.
Tournament mode: An external indicator light lets competitors know that the device is only providing data within the rules.
Magnetic mount: Conveniently store the range finder with an included magnetic mount when riding in a golf cart.
Find My Rangefinder: If misplaced, players can see their rangefinder’s last known location when paired to the Garmin Golf app.
Exceptional battery life: Enjoy up to one year of use without needing to replace the battery.
Become a Garmin Golf member
Not only does the Garmin Golf app provide players with premium features when using the Approach Z10, but a Garmin Golf membership also gives golfers access to Green Contour Data, allowing them to see the slope direction of the green on select courses. Using the slope information, golfers can figure out how much the ball will release after pitching, know which side of the pin is better to putt from and know the best miss for worst-case scenarios. Players can also get aerial imagery for a high-resolution, realistic view of the shot ahead on the more than 43,000 courses from around the world.
The Approach Z10 will be available beginning July 7, 2026, at a suggested retail price of PHP 18,290.
Engineered on the inside for life on the outside, Garmin products have revolutionized life for adventurers, athletes, off-road explorers, road warriors and outdoor enthusiasts everywhere. Committed to developing products that enhance experiences, enrich lives and help provide peace of mind, Garmin believes every day is an opportunity to innovate and a chance to beat yesterday.
