ANGEL Unveils Smart Water Purification Solutions for the Foodservice Industry, Driving Safe Water Use and Operational Efficiency
At the HOTELEX 2026 held on 30 March, ANGEL introduced its latest smart water purification solutions for the foodservice sector. Powered by advanced technologies, these solutions aim to upgrade industry water standards, helping businesses ensure food safety and achieve high-quality growth.
Addressing Diverse Needs with Tailored, Full-Scenario Solutions
With the rapid growth of chain operations and large-scale catering formats, water usage requirements have become increasingly diverse. Standardised products are no longer sufficient. ANGEL has responded by developing customised solutions across multiple scenarios, including convenience stores, beverage shops and restaurants, enabling operators to improve efficiency, reduce costs and enhance product quality.
For convenience stores, where space is limited and demand is high, ANGEL introduced the J3752 reverse osmosis water purifier. Featuring replaceable filter cartridges and a bypass design, it ensures continuous 24-hour high-volume water supply while reducing maintenance costs by over 40%. Its wall-mounted design fits compact spaces, and an integrated IoT system enables centralised multi-store management.
For beverage shops, ANGEL offers integrated solutions that combine customised water quality with efficient tea preparation. In high-hardness regions, the J3753 reverse osmosis water purifier delivers 1,600 GPD capacity and a fast flow rate of 4L/min, with dual RO membranes for enhanced purification. In low-hardness areas, the J3710 microfiltration system uses a triple-cartridge design to optimise water quality, ensuring consistent taste and flavour.
For restaurants with high water demand and a need for efficiency, ANGEL provides flexible configurations based on local water conditions. In high-hardness areas, the R series RO systems offer up to 2,400 GPD output with dual pumps and filters for stable, high-frequency use. In low-hardness regions, the C series microfiltration systems deliver long-lasting taste quality with a high flow rate of up to 25L/min, requiring no electricity and producing zero wastewater, significantly reducing operating costs.
Reliable Water Quality, Consistent Experience
ANGEL’s solutions are backed by strong product performance and international certifications, providing reliable water quality support for foodservice brands. ANGEL has already partnered with leading brands including TOMORO Coffee, Cotti Coffee and Haidilao. Looking ahead, the company will continue to innovate and refine its solutions to meet evolving industry needs, supporting foodservice brands worldwide in delivering consistent quality and achieving sustainable growth.

GoTyme Bank becomes the first digital bank in the Philippines to enable Apple Pay, expanding secure and seamless digital payments for 10 million customers
MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 August 2026 – Paymentology, the leading global issuer processor, today announced the successful launch of Apple Pay for GoTyme Bank in the Philippines. Through this launch, GoTyme becomes one of the first issuers in the Philippine market to enable Apple Pay, giving 10 million customers an easy, secure and private way to pay using their Apple devices.
As one of the country’s fastest-growing digital banks, GoTyme continues to accelerate its digital payments strategy by expanding secure, seamless and convenient payment experiences for Filipino consumers. Customers can now securely add their GoTyme debit card to Apple Wallet and make contactless payments in stores, within apps and online wherever Apple Pay is accepted.
Apple Pay uses industry-leading tokenisation technology, meaning card numbers are never stored on devices or shared with merchants. Instead, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, with every transaction authenticated through Face ID, Touch ID or a device passcode, providing an additional layer of security while delivering a fast, frictionless checkout experience.
Nate Clark, President and CEO at GoTyme Bank commented: “At GoTyme Bank, we’re constantly looking for ways to make banking simpler, safer and more rewarding for our customers. Bringing Apple Pay to GoTyme Bank customers in the Philippines gives them an easy and secure way to pay wherever they shop while continuing to earn rewards points on all their transactions. This is another step in our commitment to making everyday banking more beautiful and convenient for our customers.
The launch comes as digital payments continue to reshape the Philippine economy. According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), digital payments now account for more than half of all retail payment transactions, as consumers increasingly embrace mobile-first banking and contactless payments. Meanwhile, smartphone penetration continues to rise, supporting growing demand for digital wallets and tokenised payment experiences. As digital commerce accelerates, enabling secure mobile payments through services such as Apple Pay is becoming an increasingly important differentiator for financial institutions.
Minh-Ha Truong, Head of Growth, APAC at Paymentology, added: “As a long-standing partner to GoTyme, we’re proud to support another significant milestone in its growth journey. Bringing Apple Pay to market demonstrates how modern, cloud-native issuer processing enables digital banks to rapidly deliver innovative payment experiences while maintaining the highest standards of security, scalability and performance. Together, we’re helping shape the future of digital payments in the Philippines.”
The launch further strengthens GoTyme’s position as one of Southeast Asia’s leading digital banks and highlights the value of Paymentology’s cloud-native issuer processing platform in helping banks and fintechs rapidly introduce innovative payment capabilities that meet evolving customer expectations.

Set against the sun-drenched landscapes of southern Taiwan, Under the Hakka Liugdui Sun highlights how the people of Liugdui have thrived alongside the land for over 300 years. Following local scholars, farmers, and artisans, the documentary explores how this community adapts its deep-rooted traditions—from water stewardship to food heritage—in response to environmental and economic change, offering vital modern insights on sustainability, rural revitalization, and cultural continuity.
Across three episodes—Water, agriculture, and food—the documentary explores how the people of Liugdui blend tradition with modern innovation. Viewers meet groundwater experts, farmers pioneering sustainable crops, and artisans repurposing local materials like betel nut, alongside culinary practitioners who preserve Hakka identity through ancestral rituals, communal feasts, and family traditions that unite generations.
Audiences will discover a community that views tradition not as something fixed in the past, but as a living legacy that continues to evolve. From innovative groundwater management and botanical dyeing to ritual feasts and modern interpretations of Hakka cuisine – the documentary celebrates the creativity, resilience, and values that have sustained Liugdui for centuries.
