No More Waiting: Xpress Opens New EV Taxi, MotoTaxi, and TNVS Queuing Station at Greenhills Mall

 

Xpress has opened a new EV Taxi, MotoTaxi, and TNVS queuing station at Greenhills Shopping Center in collaboration with Ortigas & Company, following the success of its PITX hub. The station offers on-site booking help, promo codes, and faster pickups as fuel prices drive demand for electric and app-based transport.

After PITX success, Xpress expands premium mobility access as fuel prices rise

Shoppers, diners, and moviegoers at Greenhills Shopping Center now have a faster way home. Following the strong passenger response to its recently launched transport hub at the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX), mobility super app Xpress has opened a new EV Taxi, Electric Motorcycle Taxi, and TNVS Queuing Station at Greenhills, giving passengers a reliable ride option exactly when they need it.

Located near Uniqlo inside Greenhills, the new station operates daily from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, where trained Xpress Brand Ambassadors assist customers with bookings, app downloads, and ride options on the spot. Customers who approach the station may also receive special promo codes, offering discounted fares and exclusive in-app savings.

Developed in collaboration with Ortigas & Company, owner of Greenhills Shopping Center, the new Xpress station reflects a growing shift toward integrated mobility hubs inside major commercial centers, where customers expect rides to be available the moment they step outside.

The expansion comes at a time when rising international and local fuel prices continue to affect transportation costs across the Philippines, making electric mobility an increasingly practical choice for both riders and drivers. By deploying EV taxis, electric motorcycle taxis, and TNVS vehicles in one organized pickup point, Xpress aims to provide a more stable, predictable fare experience while maintaining comfort, safety, and availability.

The Greenhills launch builds on the momentum of the PITX queuing station, which has already served thousands of passengers since opening, demonstrating how physical ride stations combined with app-based booking can significantly reduce waiting time in high-traffic areas.

Passengers at the new station can book rides directly through the Xpress app with assistance from on-site staff, creating a hybrid system that blends digital convenience with real-world accessibility. The company says this model is designed to make ride-hailing easier for everyday commuters, families, and shoppers who prefer knowing exactly where to go when they need a ride.

Xpress officials say more queuing stations in major transport hubs, malls, and lifestyle districts are planned as part of a broader push to make app-based transport more visible and more dependable across Metro Manila.

As fuel prices fluctuate and urban traffic grows more unpredictable, the demand for organized pickup points and electric vehicle options continues to rise — a shift the company believes will define the next phase of city mobility.

And if the growing lines at Greenhills are any sign, the future of transport may no longer be about searching for a ride — but simply walking to the place where it’s already waiting.

About Xpress Super App

Xpress is a Philippine mobility super app offering taxi, motorcycle taxi, EV transport, and travel services nationwide, focused on safe, cashless, and app-based mobility supported by physical ride hubs in major transport and lifestyle locations.

Advanced Scalp Treatment Offers New Hope for Hair Loss Solutions in the Philippines

 QUEZON CITY, Philippines — Mold Manila, an aesthetics clinic founded by beauty industry advocate Adrielle Costales, announces an awareness initiative around Exoscalp, its exosome-based treatment designed to support those experiencing hair thinning and shedding. The program aims to educate the public on emerging options and provide accessible consultations for individuals seeking non-surgical solutions.

Exoscalp leverages exosomes—tiny, naturally occurring vesicles that help cells communicate and support regeneration. By introducing carefully prepared exosomes to the scalp, the treatment is designed to create a favorable environment for healthier hair and scalp vitality. While individual results vary, exosome-based therapies are increasingly recognized within aesthetics for their potential role in regenerative support.

“At Mold Manila, our mission is to empower clients with informed choices,” said Adrielle Costales, Founder of Mold Manila. “Exoscalp reflects our commitment to offering innovative, client-centered options for people navigating hair loss—delivered with transparency, care, and a focus on real-world expectations.”

The clinic’s approach begins with a thorough consultation to understand each client’s concerns, hair history, and lifestyle. Based on this assessment, Mold Manila designs a personalized plan that may include Exoscalp alongside supportive scalp-care protocols. The treatment is non-surgical and aims to complement a broader wellness approach.

Mold Manila emphasizes responsible guidance: Exoscalp is a cosmetic treatment and is not a cure for medical conditions. Clients with underlying scalp or health concerns are encouraged to seek advice from licensed medical professionals. Suitability for Exoscalp is evaluated case by case during consultation, and outcomes may differ based on individual factors.

“Our promise is clarity,” Costales added. “We want clients to understand what exosomes are, what Exoscalp is designed to do, and how it may fit into their personal journey—without hype, and with respect for safety and science as it continues to evolve.”

Mold Manila invites interested individuals to learn more about Exoscalp and schedule a consultation at its Quezon City clinic. The team provides guidance on treatment expectations, aftercare, and maintenance, helping clients make confident, well-informed decisions.

About MOLD Manila

MOLD Manila is a premium, clinician-led aesthetic clinic based in Quezon City, Philippines. Known for its technology-driven, non-surgical treatments and personalized care, the clinic specializes in skin rejuvenation, non-invasive contouring, laser treatments, and IV wellness therapies.

Join PetroSync’s ASME Training for Industry-Recognized Engineering Skills

Join PetroSync’s ASME Training to gain industry-recognized engineering skills, master global standards, and boost your career growth.

As the global energy sector continues to grow in complexity, companies are placing greater emphasis on engineering competence and adherence to internationally recognized standards. From refining facilities to petrochemical plants, engineering teams are expected to make decisions that directly affect safety, reliability, and operational efficiency.

In response to these evolving expectations, many organizations are investing in structured technical training programs to strengthen their workforce. PetroSync, a global B2B training provider focused on the oil and gas industry, offers specialized programs designed to help engineers deepen their understanding of international engineering codes and best practices.

For professionals and companies alike, participating in the right technical training is more than a professional development activity—it is a strategic step toward building industry-recognized engineering skills that support long-term operational success.

Why Engineering Skills Based on Global Standards Matter More Than Ever

In industries where safety and operational continuity are critical, engineering decisions must be guided by internationally recognized standards. Engineers working with piping systems, pressure equipment, and maintenance operations rely on these standards to ensure that industrial assets operate safely and efficiently.

One widely referenced standard in the oil and gas sector is ASME B31.3. This code provides essential guidance for the design, fabrication, inspection, and testing of process piping systems used in refineries, chemical plants, and other industrial facilities. By following this framework, engineers can ensure that piping systems meet the necessary requirements for safety and performance.

In addition, professionals responsible for maintenance and repair activities frequently refer to ASME PCC-2. The standard outlines recommended practices for repairing pressure equipment while maintaining compliance with engineering codes and safety regulations.

As global infrastructure expands and facilities operate under increasingly demanding conditions, the ability to interpret and apply these standards correctly becomes a valuable skill for engineering professionals. For many engineers, structured technical training provides the most effective way to develop this expertise.

How Industry Leaders Use Technical Training to Strengthen Their Workforce

Across the oil and gas sector, technical training is often driven by strategic decisions made by senior leadership. Engineering managers, operations leaders, and technical directors are responsible for ensuring that their teams possess the necessary competencies to manage complex assets and maintain operational reliability.

For these decision makers, training programs offer a practical solution to strengthen internal expertise. By investing in targeted learning opportunities, companies can reduce operational risks, improve maintenance practices, and ensure that engineering teams remain aligned with global standards.

Programs such as ASME B31.3 Training provide engineers with deeper insights into the technical requirements of process piping systems and how those requirements apply in real industrial scenarios.

From a business perspective, these initiatives are not simply about education. They are part of a broader strategy to build stronger engineering teams capable of supporting long-term operational performance and regulatory compliance.

The B2B Training Process: From Technical Consultation to Corporate Approval

Unlike individual learning programs, technical training in the oil and gas industry typically follows a structured B2B process. Companies often begin by consulting with training providers to discuss their operational needs and identify the most relevant training programs.

This consultation stage allows engineering leaders to explain specific technical challenges and determine whether a training course addresses the required competencies. In many cases, training providers work closely with companies to ensure that course content aligns with real industry applications.

Once a suitable program has been identified, the decision usually moves through several internal steps within the organization. These may include technical evaluation by engineering departments, budget approval from management, and coordination with procurement or learning and development teams.

Because these decisions often involve multiple stakeholders, the approval process ensures that the training investment aligns with the company’s operational priorities and long-term development goals.

Training providers like PetroSync frequently support companies throughout this process, helping streamline communication and ensuring that participant registration can proceed smoothly once corporate approval is granted.

Building Industry-Recognized Engineering Skills with PetroSync

For engineers working in technically demanding industries, continuous learning is essential. The ability to understand engineering codes, interpret standards accurately, and apply them in operational environments is a key factor in professional growth.

PetroSync’s ASME training programs are designed to help professionals develop these competencies. Through expert-led instruction, practical discussions, and real-world case examples, participants gain deeper insights into how engineering standards influence design decisions, maintenance strategies, and operational safety.

For companies, the impact extends beyond individual development. Organizations benefit from engineering teams that are more confident in their technical decisions, better prepared to manage critical infrastructure, and capable of maintaining compliance with internationally recognized standards.

As the oil and gas industry continues to evolve, building industry-recognized engineering skills is becoming increasingly important. For professionals seeking to strengthen their expertise—and for companies committed to developing high-performing technical teams—participating in structured training programs offers a valuable opportunity to stay ahead in a competitive global industry.

About PetroSync Global Internasional

PetroSync was established in Singapore in 2010 and began its expansion into Indonesia in 2013. To this day, PetroSync has become a leading oil and gas training provider, with a participant passing rate as high as 90%.

Philippines Strengthens Position as Global Talent Hub Amid Rising Demand for Executive Leadership

As the Philippines continues to strengthen its position as a global talent hub, organisations are experiencing growing demand for executive leaders capable of managing international operations, distributed teams, and digital transformation initiatives.

In an increasingly globalised workforce, leadership challenges are evolving rapidly. Organisations without the right leadership in place may face communication gaps, reduced team performance, and difficulties managing cross-border operations effectively.

To address these challenges, MVC Resources, a Malaysia-based executive search firm, is supporting organisations in securing globally capable executives who can lead across markets and deliver consistent performance in digitally enabled environments.

The Philippines remains a key player in the global services economy. According to the IBPAP, the country’s BPO sector employs over 1.5 million professionals, making it one of the largest employment sectors in the country and a major driver of global business operations.

At the same time, regional reports from Google, Temasek Holdings, and Bain & Company highlight Southeast Asia’s digital economy as one of the fastest-growing globally, with the Philippines playing an increasingly important role in remote work, digital services, and technology-enabled operations.

In addition, insights from the World Economic Forum suggest that a significant portion of the global workforce will require reskilling, reinforcing the importance of leadership that can develop talent, manage distributed teams, and drive organisational adaptability.

Drawing on its experience in Malaysia’s diverse and competitive talent market, MVC Resources offers a structured approach to executive search and leadership hiring, focusing on candidates with a global mindset, strong communication capabilities, and operational excellence.

The Philippines continues to stand out as a strong global talent hub, but leadership expectations are evolving rapidly,” said a representative from MVC Resources. “Organisations need leaders who can bridge cultures, work closely with their teams, manage distributed workforces, and drive performance across borders.”

While MVC Resources’ core operations are based in Malaysia, the firm has increasingly supported organisations with regional and cross-border hiring needs, particularly in roles requiring international exposure and leadership adaptability.

As the Philippines continues to expand its role in the global digital and services economy, the demand for future-ready executive leadership is expected to grow. Without the right leadership, organisations may struggle to fully leverage talent potential and maintain performance across global operations.

MVC Resources remains committed to supporting organisations by connecting them with high-impact, globally capable executives who are equipped to lead in today’s borderless and fast-evolving workforce landscape.

As organisations look to strengthen their leadership capabilities, many are increasingly exploring strategic executive search partnerships to remain competitive in a global talent environment.
