Vietjet recently announced a new direct route between Cebu, one of the Philippines' leading economic and tourism hubs, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest commercial centre, marking the airline's latest expansion in the Philippine market.
The new service is scheduled to commence on December 11, 2026, operating five round-trip flights per week and doubling Vietjet's total capacity between the Philippines and Vietnam.
With its “Coolest Summer Ever” campaign, the airline is spotlighting Sydney as the perfect escape from the intense heat and erratic weather in the Philippines. It’s time to swap the sweltering tropical sun for a crisp, winter getaway Down Under.
While the Philippines finds itself in the most humid months of the year, Sydney offers a refreshing contrast. Temperatures dip, fashionable layers come out, cafés feel cozier, and the city transforms into a destination that feels entirely new for many Filipino travelers.
The campaign positions Sydney not just as a travel destination, but as a seasonal experience.
From scenic walks around Circular Quay and the Sydney Opera House to discovering hidden cafés, winter markets, museums, and nearby nature escapes, the city offers travelers a chance to slow down and experience a different side of summer altogether. A summer that’s cool, calm, and refreshing.

Symbolized by a colorful pinwheel, the campaign reflects every color represented in a community that moves together as one.
Filipino visual artist Joel Reglos is set to unveil his highly anticipated fifth solo exhibition, "Reminiscence," a profound visual homecoming that explores the intersection of artistic evolution and spiritual endurance. In partnership with Altro Mondo Creative Space, the exhibit will be opening this May at the Gateway Gallery. The collection serves as both a retrospective of Reglos’s foundational aesthetics and a deeply personal testimony of the faith that sustained his rise in the Philippine contemporary art scene.
In "Reminiscence," Reglos deliberately steps back from the present to re-engage with the raw energy of his formative years. Known for his mastery of the impasto technique and his signature use of heavy, sculptural textures, Reglos utilizes this exhibition to honor the specific palettes and vertical color compositions that first defined his voice. The works are not merely recreations of the past, but rather a sophisticated dialogue between the artist he was and the master technician he has become.
