JAKARTA, Indonesia and SINGAPORE and KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the official launch of its Singapore International Headquarters on August 24, WALOVI under Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Holdings (GPH) held its Global Investment Promotion and New Product Launch Conference in Jakarta. This marks a major step forward in advancing the brand's strategic expansion throughout Southeast Asia.
At the event, WALOVI officially unveiled its Indonesia‑Classic Can and Global Can series. Tailored to local tastes and consumer preferences, the Indonesia‑Classic Can features Indonesian‑language packaging, while the Global Can targets young consumers across international markets. The brand signed strategic market cooperation agreements with leading local Indonesian distributors including PT SABANG MERAUKE TRADING. These alliances will accelerate market penetration of WALOVI's new‑generation natural plant‑based beverage.
This grand gathering drew 200 attendees, including representatives from the Investment Coordinating Board and Regional Potential Development Agency of the Ministry of Investment and Downstream Industry of the Republic of Indonesia, PT SABANG MERAUKE TRADING, Daxingyun Market and Sentosa Catering Chain, as well as channel partners, distributors and media representatives from Indonesia and all over the world. Senior management of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Holdings and WALOVI attended the event to jointly witness this milestone event. With a population of more than 280 million, Indonesia presents enormous untapped opportunities for healthy natural beverages. Its tropical climate drives steady demand for refreshing drinks, and long‑standing local herbal‑drink culture aligns closely with WALOVI's core brand positioning.
Indonesia boasts well‑developed supermarket and convenience‑store networks across the archipelago. With support from this mature distribution infrastructure, WALOVI products will reach large numbers of local consumers efficiently. Earlier the same day, GPH also took part in the China (Guangdong)‑Indonesia Investment and Business Environment Promotion Forum in Jakarta to gain deeper insights into local investment conditions.
Building on its progress in Singapore, WALOVI continues to expand its business footprint across Southeast Asia. The brand aims to bring time‑honoured Chinese natural plant‑beverage heritage to consumers worldwide, and integrate oriental health concepts into everyday life for communities in overseas markets.

Now a publicly listed company, GCash parent Mynt brings the Philippine fintech industry's growth story to the global stage, demonstrating how homegrown innovation can expand financial inclusion and make financial services more accessible to millions of Filipinos.
For GCash, this reflects how a technology designed around people's everyday needs can help transform the financial landscape in the Philippines and even abroad.
Key leaders of the Philippines' leading finance super app will join panel sessions, sharing insights and experiences that have shaped the growth of GCash and the broader Philippine fintech landscape. Participating leaders include Tony Isidro, President and CEO of Fuse Financing, Inc., the lending arm of GCash, Winsley Bangit, the Head of New Businesses at Mynt, the parent company of GCash, and Michelle Fernandez, GCash Head of Corporate Sustainability and Communications.
Mynt's IPO, the biggest in Philippine corporate history, marks an important milestone for the country's capital market. It creates an opportunity for more Filipinos, including first-time investors, to participate in the growth of a homegrown tech company through the public markets.
"Digital financial access should not be a privilege reserved for a limited few. Technology can help make financial services more inclusive, accessible, relevant, and responsive to the realities of everyday Filipinos," Mynt President and CEO Martha Sazon shared.
Isidro, for his part, will speak at the Global SME Forum Roundtable where he will discuss how digital ecosystems can translate customer and transaction activity into accessible, scalable credit products
Bangit will also join a fireside chat with the Securities and Exchange Commission to discuss emerging trends in investing. The session will highlight how progressive regulation, meaningful industry collaboration, and fintech innovation are unlocking greater access to instruments like bonds, funds, and stocks for more Filipinos, making diverse investing more affordable while strengthening consumer protection.
Meanwhile, Fernandez will take part in the "Sustainability-Linked Finance for MSMEs" panel to discuss GCash initiatives that promote sustainable practices among MSMEs. One of these is Project Sirius MSME Scorecard, which makes sustainability reporting more straightforward, and helps MSMEs qualify for sustainability-linked financing.
GCash will showcase Filipino fintech innovations at its booth at the Singapore Expo Hall 2, featuring demonstrations of key app services and AI-powered technologies that enhance security, service and financial education.
SFF, the largest gathering of fintech players, will take place on November 18 to 20 at the Singapore Expo, with the theme "The Coming Rewiring of the Financial System: New Risks. New Rules. New Growth." The event will bring together leading fintech companies, investors, payment network operators, central banks, government representatives, and other industry stakeholders.
