Sofronio Vasquez to Sing National Anthem at Marcos's 2025 SONA
Internationally recognized singer Sofronio Vasquez III will sing the national anthem to open President Marcos Jr.'s 2025 State of the Nation Address at the Batasang Pambansa on July 28. From The Voice USA to the Batasan Remember him? The first Filipino champ of The Voice USA! Now based in the U.S., Vasquez flew back just for this moment. For him, it's more than a gig—it's a full-circle moment. Singing from the Heart He's going a cappella, and yes, that's hard—but he says it's not just about hitting the right notes. It's a tribute to the country, God, and the people. His message? Unity. Simplicity. Filipino pride. Marcos Set to Deliver Fourth SONA Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to deliver his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA). With only three years left in his term, the details of this year's address remain largely under wraps. In a brief social media post the night before, Marcos simply said he is 'all set to deliver the message of Bagong Pilipinas.' Traditionally, SONAs serve two key purposes: to report on the administration's accomplishments over the past year, and to lay out plans and priorities for the future. It's also a platform where major announcements—whether economic, legislative, or political—are often made.

Nvidia AI chips reportedly smuggled into China
In the months following the US tightening export controls to China at least $1 billion of Advanced AI chips were reportedly smuggled into the country. Financial Times (FT) reported Nvidia's high-performance B200 AI chips are widely available in China through a thriving black market for US chips which are banned for sale in the country. The newspaper cited dozens of sales contracts, company filings and multiple people with direct knowledge of the illicit deals. FT noted the B200 processors are widely used by US heavyweights OpenAI, Google and Meta Platforms to train their latest AI systems. In May, FT explained multiple Chinese distributors were selling B200s to suppliers of data centres for use by domestic AI groups. The US and China are battling for global dominance across AI and additional technologies, which impacts Nvidia's financial performance. An Nvidia representative told Mobile World Live 'trying to cobble together data centres from smuggled products is a losing proposition, both technically and economically. Data centres require service and support, which we provide only to authorised Nvidia products.' Last week Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang announced it received assurances from US authorities it would be given a licence to resume sales of its H20 chip in China. It was informed of a need for a licence in April due to a perception the chips could be used in a supercomputer in China, which led to Nvidia taking a $5.5 billion hit. In the three months prior, FT reported Chinese distributors from Guangdong, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces sold the company's B200s and other restricted processors including the H100 and H200.
