#new mobile app

A new mobile app of the same name is now officially live on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. While the app can be installed and register with your mobile number, Smart has yet to launch its waitlist. 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. Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is set to introduce international money transfers through its mobile banking app, following a partnership with Visa aimed at making cross-border transactions faster and more affordable for Filipinos. The new service, expected to launch by the first quarter of 2027, will use Visa Direct, Visa's real-time payments platform, allowing BPI customers to send money overseas directly from the BPI app. The service is expected to become available to more than four million active BPI mobile app users. Quite a number of users have already been using their new uMobile SIMs too (7.19%) while fledgling Sun Cellular 3G is still down there.
