MANILA, PHILIPPINES - Media OutReach Newswire - 28 May 2026 - Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, is today hosting its Better Decisions Leadership Forum in Manila, bringing together senior business leaders to discuss how organisations can navigate from risk to resilience and growth in an increasingly complex environment. The invitation-only forum is taking place at the Fairmont Hotel in Makati.
The event is expected to convene more than 70 C-suite and senior business leaders from top organisations across the Philippines for a closed-door exchange on managing economic, workforce, climate and operational pressures. By bringing together diverse perspectives, the forum aims to foster practical insights and strategies that help organisations navigate uncertainty, protect their businesses and drive sustainable growth.
The program will be officially opened by Karl Hamann, CEO of Philippines for Aon, followed by a keynote from Andrew Jeffries, country director for the Asian Development Bank on the macroeconomic and geopolitical trends shaping the business environment.
Notable speakers include Terence Williams, head of Commercial Risk in Asia Pacific for Aon, and other firm executives alongside external regional leaders, including Annacel Natividad, chief risk officer and sustainability head for Aboitiz Foods Group, and Raymond Martin Aguilar, vice president and head of risk and property management for Globe Telecom, Inc.
"This forum reflects a fundamental shift in how organisations are evolving their approach to risk," said Williams. "Across Asia Pacific, we are seeing a growing focus on using data and analytics to understand trade-offs, test scenarios and act with greater confidence. Bringing leaders together to share practical experience is critical to strengthening resilience while continuing to drive growth."
A central feature of the forum will be a C-suite panel on adaptive leadership in a digital world, where senior leaders will share how they are balancing risk, resilience and growth, and the decisions shaping their organisations today. The session will be moderated by Irma Gaviola, head of Commercial Risk, Philippines for Aon.
The program will include risk masterclasses focused on key enterprise exposures, including cyber and climate risks, exploring how organisations can quantify risk, strengthen resilience and design more effective risk transfer strategies.
Participants will also be introduced to Aon's Risk Analyzers, an interactive environment where clients can experience a suite of analytics-led tools that support scenario testing and supports better risk capital decisions. The tools are designed to help organisations assess exposures and evaluate strategic choices in real time.
"The Philippines sits at the intersection of strong economic growth and increasing risk complexity, said Hamann. "This forum creates a space for candid dialogue and practical insights to help organisations navigate risk with greater clarity and confidence."
The Better Decisions Leadership Forum is part of Aon's ongoing commitment to helping organisations turn insight into action – enabling more informed decision-making to protect and grow their business.

Automated AI Credit Approval Delivers Efficient Loan Experience, Unlocking the Potential of Digital Inclusive Finance
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 28 May 2026 - X Wallet, Hong Kong's leading smart financial services platform, is delighted to announce the official appointment of renowned Asian entertainer, artist, and entrepreneur Mr. Edison Chen as its brand ambassador for 2026 to 2027. To mark the occasion, X Wallet unveils its new cross-generational visual campaign. The centerpiece of this campaign lies in the cutting-edge use of "AI Reborn1" technology, which flawlessly recreates Edison's iconic on-screen persona from the early 2000s. When the "Millennial Edison" engages in a time-defying dialogue with "the Mature and Stylish Edison in 2026," it not only sparks collective cultural resonance across the public but also simultaneously echoes X Wallet's hallmark AI-powered smart loan approval technology.

When Trendsetter Tells a FinTech "Encounter": The Intrinsic Resonance of Dual AI Empowerment
This campaign has garnered widespread attention across both the marketing and technology industries. According to the X Wallet team, collaborating with Edison Chen goes far beyond a conventional commercial endorsement; it stems from a profound alignment of core development philosophy. Edison's distinct personal style, along with his trend-setting foresight and relentless drive for breakthroughs, perfectly mirrors X Wallet's ongoing mission to revolutionize traditional lending experiences through innovative financial technology.
The deeper synergy lies in dual AI empowerment:
- Visual Dimension: Through "AI Reborn," Edison's look, vocal traits, and signature facial expressions from the early 2000s are meticulously reconstructed, making the impossible a reality and seamlessly enabling a cross-generational dialogue.
- FinTech Dimension: Seamlessly integrated with X Wallet's proprietary AI approval system, the campaign highlights the platform's ability to eliminate cumbersome manual reviews, delivering a fully automated, lightning-fast loan approval experience. The theme of "Dialogue Between Past And Future" symbolizes X Wallet's commitment to unlocking infinite possibilities for users through advanced AI innovation.
Redefining "Fast and Autonomous" for the New Generation
In the newly released commercial, Edison embodies decisiveness and confidence — qualities modern individuals aspire to when facing life's choices. X Wallet aims to inspire the market with the empowering message: "Take control of your finances, embrace life's challenges without fear." Powered by advanced AI, users can submit applications via the X Wallet app, enjoying a seamless, convenient experience without the need for physical presence. This perfectly aligns with Hong Kong's fast-paced digital lifestyle, encapsulated in the campaign's core message: "Time and Money, Yours at Once."
Mr. Mercer Ng, Marketing Director of X Wallet, remarked: "Edison has always been a cross-generational icon of trend culture. By leveraging cutting-edge AI technology to recreate his dashing persona from the millennial era across time and space, we are not only embarking on a daring visual aesthetic and artistic experiment but also reaffirming X Wallet's unwavering determination to pioneer innovation in financial technology.
We are immensely honored to collaborate with Edison on this year's trio of brand-conceptual blockbusters. Beyond the sensorially stunning main theme campaign, the public will also witness Edison's uniquely stylish performance in the 'mini-theater' ad series for X Wallet's two core products—'X Cash.AI' and 'X Loan'.
Just as the three commercials convey, technology shatters all conventional rules and boundaries. X Wallet's smart AI lending solutions are engineered to unlock maximum financial flexibility for our customers across both time and space. Looking ahead, we will continue to deepen the application of AI technology within inclusive finance, delivering a smoother and secure smart credit experience to the public."
X Wallet's new annual campaign will roll out across Hong Kong's prime commercial districts, including MTR stations, major social platforms, and streaming services, accompanied by limited-time promotional offers.
