TECNO Partners with Photographer Angélica Dass to Launch Global Multi-Cultural Portrait Project

Image
NAIROBI, KENYA, July 4th, 2026 — As AI increasingly shapes how people are seen and represented, an urgent question emerges: how do we ensure technology reflects humanity in all its complexity? TECNO believes the answer starts with a simple principle — technology should help the world see people more truthfully. With that belief, TECNO and Brazilian visual artist Angélica Dass launch “100 Portraits of Becoming,” a two-year initiative that covers five countries and begins today in Nairobi, Kenya. Co-created with Angélica Dass, the “100 Portraits of Becoming” initiative aims to capture 100 authentic portraits of individuals worldwide and document their unique journeys of becoming. These portraits — spanning diverse backgrounds — serve as a testament to the human tapestry and spark a global cultural conversation surrounding authentic representation, identity, dignity, and human becoming in the age of AI. This collaboration builds on a mutual commitment to recognizing the true diversity of...

Sing, Bond, and Connect: The New Philips Karaoke Speakers for Filipino Homes

Image
Family bonding has always been at the heart of Filipino culture. Whether it's a salu-salo where everyone insists you've "barely eaten," a catch-up that lasts until midnight, or a singing session that turns into a full-blown karaoke showdown, Filipinos know how to make every gathering one to remember. It's no surprise, then, that karaoke has, in many ways, stood the test of time. Think about it: we've gone from cassette tapes to digital playlists, from cable television to streaming platforms, and from family computers to smartphones that rarely leave our hands. The way we enjoy entertainment has changed, but karaoke has remained a familiar part of Filipino homes, becoming the soundtrack to every chapter of family life—through celebrations, setbacks, milestones, and the everyday moments in between. That enduring place in Filipino homes is what Philips has embraced over the years. As family bonding remains a constant in Filipino life, the brand has remained equa...
