X’s AI chatbot Grok, is now available to X Premium+ subscribers in the Philippines. This AI model was developed by xAI and introduced by Elon Musk last year, with the premise of the chatbot being able to answer inquiries “rebelliously” with a hint of sarcasm. In his initial reveal, Musk also revealed that Grok will have real-time access to information via users’ posts (FKA tweets) on the X platform. Musk claimed that this would be a massive advantage over other models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Priced at PHP 1,190—Grok is available for X Premium+ subscribers in the Philippines today. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has launched the PANaHON mobile app, a smartphone-friendly platform designed to provide real-time weather information and improve public preparedness for weather-related hazards. Introduced in the middle of Typhoon and Flood Awareness Week 2026, this app was, like pretty much, fully developed by PAGASA and it works as the mobile counterpart of its PANaHON web platform that was launched last year. Some of the key features cover real time weather readings from monitoring stations across the country, interactive radar maps that you can browse, plus localized five day forecasts.
