on

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 June 2026 – VinFast today announced its first appearance at the Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), showcasing a comprehensive electric vehicle ecosystem that integrates EVs, charging infrastructure, transportation services, and ownership solutions. Headlined by the new Rentapasada program, VinFast’s participation demonstrates how this connected ecosystem can make EV adoption more accessible and practical for Filipino consumers while supporting the country’s transition to a greener future.

VinFast made its first appearance at the 2026 Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS), showcasing its comprehensive EV ecosystem, including electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, green mobility services, and flexible ownership solutions.

Taking place from June 4 to 7 in Metro Manila, the biennial PIMS is one of the Philippines’ leading automotive exhibitions, bringing together major local and international automotive brands to showcase new products, technologies, and mobility solutions. This year’s edition features around 150 vehicles, approximately half of which are electrified models, reflecting the industry’s accelerating shift toward sustainable mobility.

At PIMS 2026, the show’s 10th edition since its launch in 2006, VinFast will bring its integrated EV ecosystem to life through a 240-sqm exhibition space. Visitors can explore the Company’s growing portfolio of electric vehicles, including the VF 3, VF 6, VF 7, and VF 9, alongside the service-focused Herio Green and Limo Green models, while also discovering V-Green’s smart charging solutions and Green GSM’s transportation services.

At the center of VinFast’s showcase is the launch of Rentapasada program, which enables participants to access VinFast electric vehicles through flexible rental arrangements and start earning on the Green GSM platform with a low upfront deposit, long-term contracts, and competitive fixed daily rates starting from just PHP 1,000. By reducing upfront costs and ownership barriers, the program expands access to electric mobility while creating new income-generating opportunities for Filipino drivers.

Rentapasada reflects VinFast’s broader vision of making EVs relevant not only as a transportation solution, but also as an economic opportunity. Together with Green GSM and V-Green, the program forms part of a connected ecosystem designed to address key barriers to EV adoption.

Alongside Rentapasada, VinFast is presenting one of the most comprehensive EV lineups at PIMS 2026, led by the VF MPV 7, a spacious electric MPV designed to meet the evolving needs of modern Filipino families. To mark the occasion, VinFast is offering a special promotional program for the first 1,000 VF MPV 7 customers, with direct purchase incentives of over PHP 27,000 for purchases with battery included, or up to one year of free battery subscription for customers who opt for the battery subscription model.

These promotional offers complement a broader package of ownership benefits available across the VinFast lineup. Customers who purchase VinFast electric vehicles can enjoy complimentary charging at V-Green charging stations until March 31, 2029, helping reduce long-term operating costs while enhancing ownership confidence. Eligible customers may also choose to convert this charging benefit into a one-year complimentary battery subscription package, providing greater flexibility based on their individual driving needs.

Mr. Antonio “Toti” Zara III, CEO for VinFast Southeast Asia, said: “Our participation at the Philippine International Motor Show 2026 reflects VinFast’s long-term commitment to accelerating electric vehicle adoption in the Philippines. As the market continues to evolve, we recognize that customers are looking beyond the vehicle itself and are placing greater importance on the overall ownership experience. By showcasing our complete ecosystem—from our EV lineup and charging infrastructure to flexible mobility programs and after-sales support—we demonstrated our capability and strength in making electric mobility more practical and accessible for Filipino consumers.”

As the Philippine EV market continues to develop, VinFast remains committed to building a comprehensive ecosystem that supports consumers throughout every stage of the ownership journey while helping accelerate the country’s transition toward sustainable mobility. By bringing together a diverse electric vehicle lineup, charging infrastructure, mobility services, ownership incentives, and income-generating opportunities within a single connected ecosystem, VinFast is demonstrating how the future of transportation can be more accessible, practical, and sustainable for communities across the Philippines.

A Defining Milestone for Gene Solutions: SPOT-MAS Multi-Cancer Screening Test Receives U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation

Published

on

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2026 – Gene Solutions – a global biotechnology company advancing accessible genomic solutions for cancer detection and precision oncology, announced that SPOT-MAS 10 has received Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This designation marks an important regulatory milestone for Gene Solutions and reflects the continued progress of SPOT-MAS as an AI-powered, multi-omic platform for early cancer detection.

SPOT-MAS Multi-Cancer Screening Test Receives U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation

The proposed indications for use describe SPOT-MAS 10 as a qualitative in vitro diagnostic test performed on plasma derived from a single direct-draw venous whole blood specimen. The test analyzes circulating cell-free DNA methylation and fragmentomic signatures using a machine-learning-based algorithm to detect a cancer-associated signal. It is intended for use as an adjunctive screening test in asymptomatic adults aged 40 years and older to assist in detecting cancers within the scope of the assay. These include five common cancers — breast, lung, liver, colorectal and gastric cancers — and five aggressive, less common cancers that currently lack standard screening methods — ovarian, pancreatic, esophageal, endometrial and head & neck cancers.

SPOT-MAS has been developed through years of rigorous scientific research and clinical development. In March 2025, SPOT-MAS became the first multi-cancer screening blood test in Asia to complete a large prospective cohort validation, with the K-DETEK study evaluating more than 9,000 asymptomatic participants and demonstrating strong performance, including high specificity and the ability to identify cancer-associated signals across multiple cancer types.

Since then, SPOT-MAS has been used in more than 100,000 individuals in real-world practice, with consistent performance observed beyond controlled study settings. Real-world data were presented at ESMO Asia 2025 and were featured at ASCO Breakthrough 2026 in Singapore.

The platform is built on a multi-omic approach— integrating genetics, epigenetics, and fragmentomics — together with AI-driven analysis, large-scale prospective validation, growing real-world evidence and focus on cancer types with high clinical relevance in the regions where the test is deployed.

For the United States, Breakthrough Device Designation provides Gene Solutions with a prioritized channel of engagement with the FDA as the company advances its U.S. development and validation plans.

Looking ahead, Gene Solutions will continue to collaborate with academic, clinical, laboratory, commercial and strategic partners to support responsible adoption of SPOT-MAS in accordance with local regulations, clinical guidelines and best practices.

Important Regulatory Notice: SPOT-MAS 10 has received U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device Designation. Breakthrough Device Designation is not FDA approval, clearance or marketing authorization. The device remains subject to applicable FDA regulatory review requirements, and the designation does not guarantee future FDA approval, clearance or authorization.

St Francis Methodist School International Shares 2023–2024 WACE Outcomes and Student Journeys

Published

on

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 22 July 2026 – St Francis Methodist School International (SFMS) has released its latest academic results for students in the Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) programme. The outcomes reflect steady ATAR performance and a range of university placements through the school’s pre-university programmes.

St Francis Methodist International School pre university programmes

Overview of the WACE Curriculum at SFMS

SFMS International is among a small number of institutions in Singapore offering the WACE curriculum and has delivered this programme for over 23 years. The WACE is a recognised senior secondary qualification awarded by the School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Western Australia. It prepares students for university admission both locally and internationally.

SFMS is also currently the only school in Singapore offering a Senior High Preparatory Pathway (WACE) for students in Years 9–10. This introduces students to the structure and expectations of the curriculum earlier, building familiarity with subject content and assessment formats before progressing to the senior years. Additionally, subject selection in Years 11A and 12A is structured to meet university entry requirements and reflect students’ academic interests.

Academic Outcomes and University Placements

In 2023, 8 out of 12 WACE graduates from SFMS International achieved ATAR scores above 90, meeting the eligibility criteria for universities such as the National University of Singapore (NUS) and Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The cohort’s top scorer, Wang Dawei, recorded an ATAR of 96.15 and enrolled at NTU to study Business and International Trading. In addition to local placements, graduates were admitted to international universities such as the University of Melbourne and Fudan University in China.

In 2024, 2 out of 8 graduates also attained ATAR scores above 90. The highest scorer, Youn Chae-Won, achieved an ATAR of 95.3. Her university placement is currently pending.

Student Journeys and Holistic Development

Students in the WACE programme at SFMS International engage in both academic and co-curricular activities as part of their overall learning experience. Recent graduates have taken part in service learning, subject specialisation, and personal reflection throughout their time in the pre-university programme.

Youn Chae-Won, the 2024 valedictorian, joined SFMS International from Korea in 2021. Over time, she adjusted to a new academic environment and explored subjects such as accounting, which influenced her interest in finance-related pathways. She also took part in various aspects of school life, including a service learning trip to Bintan in 2023, where students supported local sanitation efforts. Her involvement in both academic and co-curricular settings marked a broad engagement with school life during her time at SFMS.

Andrew Zhuang, who enrolled in SFMS International in 2019, pursued subjects such as Business Management, Accounting, and English as an Additional Language (EALD). Beyond academics, he was involved in community fundraising and joined the same Bintan service trip. He also attended weekly chapel sessions and received support from peers and teachers during a period of health-related absence.

These outcomes reflect the ongoing role of the WACE programme at SFMS International in supporting students through both academic pathways and broader educational experiences. Under the leadership of Principal Mr Lee Hak Boon, the school continues to emphasise academic planning, subject selection, and student wellbeing as part of its overall approach to pre-university education.
