MANILA, PHILIPPINES - Media OutReach Newswire - 18 July 2026 - Global electric vehicle company VinFast has officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Bespoke Logistics, a Philippine provider of end-to-end automotive logistics solutions, to establish an integrated mobility processing center and authorized service workshop for the inspection and preparation of VinFast electric motorcycles prior to delivery. The partnership will help ensure vehicle quality, shorten delivery lead times, and lay a solid foundation for VinFast's expanding electric motorcycle ecosystem in the Philippines.
Under the agreement, Bespoke Logistics will operate an integrated mobility processing center and VinFast-authorized service workshop, responsible for warehousing, vehicle inspection, technical preparation of electric motorcycles prior to delivery, vehicle yard management, and transportation. Located in Carmona City, Cavite Province, the 20,000-square-meter facility has a storage capacity of up to 30,000 vehicles, helping streamline vehicle preparation, improve operational efficiency, and ensure product quality before delivery to customers.
As part of the partnership, VinFast will work closely with Bespoke Logistics to implement technician training and certification programs, transfer standardized operating procedures and quality control processes, and establish a parts supply system to support aftersales operations.
Bespoke Logistics specializes in automotive logistics, offering an end-to-end service portfolio that includes pre-delivery inspection (PDI), warehousing, vehicle yard management, transportation, and vehicle delivery. The company also has extensive experience in warehouse-based technical operations and modern vehicle and inventory management systems, serving as a trusted logistics partner for multiple automotive brands in the Philippines.
Partnering with experienced local companies such as Bespoke Logistics will not only strengthen VinFast's logistics and service capabilities in the Philippines but also provide a strong operational foundation for the delivery of its first electric motorcycles to customers.
The agreement forms part of VinFast's long-term strategy to develop a comprehensive, international-standard electric motorcycle ecosystem in the Philippines. Alongside the launch of its diverse lineup of battery-swapping electric motorcycles, VinFast is steadily expanding its distribution network, aftersales services, and battery swapping infrastructure to deliver a seamless, convenient, and reliable ownership experience for customers.
Mr. Bui Viet Hung, VinFast Deputy CEO of Global Aftersales Service, said: "At VinFast, world-class products must be supported by robust infrastructure and exceptional aftersales services. Our partnership with Bespoke Logistics is a key milestone in strengthening our distribution and aftersales capabilities in line with global standards, ensuring that customers in the Philippines enjoy high quality products and services from day one of ownership."

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 20 July 2026 – Academia Pte Ltd has announced the launch of its dedicated International Baccalaureate (IB) Department, marking a strategic expansion to support the growing number of IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) students in Singapore seeking specialised English training aligned with IB assessment standards.
The new department will focus initially on IB English Language & Literature and IB English Literature for Diploma Programme Year 1 and Year 2 students. The programme is designed to provide structured preparation for key IB assessment components, including Paper 1 (unseen textual analysis, including multimodal and visual texts), Paper 2 (comparative literary analysis), and the Individual Oral (IO), with optional support available for the Extended Essay.
The department launches with immediate effect, with rolling intake now open for small-group classes held at Tanglin Community Club (Whitley Road) and Upper Thomson. Each term runs for 12 weeks, with two-hour weekly sessions conducted in groups capped at 6–10 students.
The launch reflects growing demand among IB families for English training designed specifically around IB performance criteria, rather than general English tuition.
Addressing a Growing Need Among IB Families
Singapore is home to 41 IB World Schools, with more than 4,500 students sitting the IBDP examinations in 2025 across the May and November sessions. Schools offering the IB Diploma include ACS (Independent), St Joseph's Institution, SJI International, Hwa Chong International, UWCSEA, Singapore American School, GIIS, Canadian International School, Stamford American International School, and Tanglin Trust School.
The country has consistently produced some of the strongest IB outcomes globally. In the November 2024 IB Diploma examinations, Singapore students achieved an average score of 38.4 points, significantly higher than the global average of 29.2 points. An IB score above 38 is widely regarded as equivalent to three A grades at A-Level under the UK UCAS framework.
Within this context, IB English often emerges as a key differentiator in overall Diploma scores, particularly for students aiming to achieve top-band results.
Dedicated IB-Specific Training
Academia's IB Department is structured around component-based training aligned with official IB marking criteria, providing students with a repeatable method for approaching IB assessments.
The programme combines:
- Structured preparation for Paper 1, Paper 2, and the Individual Oral
- Analysis of literary, non-literary, and multimodal texts
- Development of comparative literary argumentation
- Training in critical literacy and rhetorical analysis
- Optional guidance for the IB Extended Essay
Classes are designed to support students aiming for high-performance outcomes, particularly those targeting a score of 6 or 7 in IB English.
Leadership with Extensive IB Experience
The IB Department is headed by Mr Azrael Tseng, an educator with more than 20 years of teaching experience. His career includes seven years with Singapore's Ministry of Education as well as experience teaching within international school IB environments. Over the course of his career, he has taught students who have gone on to achieve the maximum 45 points in the IB Diploma.
According to Academia, the department's curriculum is developed by educators with strong academic backgrounds in English Language and Literature at the university and postgraduate levels. The programme emphasises analytical depth and intellectual range through engagement with a diverse set of global literary and non-literary texts.
Small-Group Structure and Performance-Focused Training
Classes are intentionally kept small, with enrolment capped at 6–10 students per group, enabling close feedback and sustained engagement with student writing.
The programme also incorporates elements of metacognitive and performance training, helping students develop structured thinking processes and confidence when responding to complex texts under examination conditions.
This approach is designed to address a common challenge for IB students: translating strong analytical ideas into consistently high-scoring responses within the time pressures of the IB exam format.
