Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Mark your calendars as we prepare to light up the stage for the return of the Philippine Blockchain Week (PBW) at the SMX Convention Center Manila, Pasay City, from June 10 to 11. Witness a bigger and bolder PBW 2025 with the participation of hundreds of speakers, industry pioneers, influencers, and community partners working to drive the Philippines' blockchain revolution. Carrying the theme 'DECODED,' the third installment of the PBW will focus on breaking down blockchain's complexities and its synergy with other emerging technologies in promoting innovation in diverse industries as the country maps its digital future. The two-day event will also feature immersive activities that will give participants a glimpse of the future fueled by blockchain. Be prepared to engage in in-depth discussions on the future of technology, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and market trends, and get insights on how the government is working with public and private institutions in adopting blockchain and the initiatives being laid out in support of the Philippines' digital transformation. The panel discussions are not the only ones to look forward to, as numerous exhibits from leading tech companies—both local and international—will be set up on the floor, bringing attendees an opportunity to explore advanced technologies and state-of-the-art solutions. Similar to previous years, PBW 2025 will be a chance for participants to connect with fellow tech enthusiasts and industry leaders, hear from members of the academe, and learn how they're rallying for the youths' involvement in blockchain adoption. Organizers of PBW 2025 will also spotlight the growing local startup ecosystem and how innovative technologies are creeping into Filipino culture while honoring the tech scene's movers and shakers. Who's leading the charge? Master the art of blockchain and Web3 with hosts crypto thought leader Aya Dequiroz, investor and entrepreneur Chantel Elloway, and seasoned corporate trainer Muneer Al Busaidi, together with some of the most influential figures in the emerging technology sector, including PBW regulars Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Director Emmy Lou Delfin, Women in Blockchain Philippines Founder Gail Macapagal, $KIKI CEO Ian Utile, Datagram CEO Jason Brink, and W3GG Ida Mok. Find out the full list of speakers here. Be part of the story In recent years, we've witnessed how the Philippines ride the wave of innovation, from crafting policies following the massive popularity of digital currencies to rediscovering gamers and the youths' potential in the country's digitalization drive during the era of play-to-earn (P2E) gaming and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). But the movement does not stop there. This year's PBW will serve as a testament to the Philippines' vigor in propelling the country into a blockchain hub and how collaborative efforts could spark a massive transformation. Seize this chance to become part of this momentum and get your tickets here. See you there!

Headphone and Speaker Memorial Deals Still Live: Final Hours to Score Up to $150 off on Beats, Bose, Sony and More
The Memorial Day holiday is behind us, but the discounts haven't all gone away. You still have a few hours left to grab top savings on audio gear. Big retailers like Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy have extended some of their deals on headphones and speakers from Apple, Bose, Anker and other big brands. To help you cut through the noise, CNET's team of shopping experts has put together this guide to the best audio deals still remaining post Memorial Day. Be sure to grab these while you can, because we'll likely see most of these deals expire tonight. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. We've put together this roundup of the best Memorial Day audio deals remaining from this weekend, and we'll continue to update it while discounts are still live or get restocked. Best Memorial Day headphone and speaker deals Beats Studio Pro: $200 There is a lot to love about the Beats Studio Pro headphones. They have great sound quality and excellent noise canceling capabilities. They're also rated for up to 40 hours, have Spatial audio with head tracking (for Apple users) and USB-C audio. Details Save $150 $200 at Amazon Close Beats Studio Buds Plus noise-canceling earbuds: $130 The Beats Studio Buds Plus earbuds are one of the best earbuds options out there, and they come with impressive noise-canceling technology. Plus, they're sweat-resistant, which makes them a solid option for the gym. You'll also get up to 36 hours of listening time in total. While Android users can still take advantage of the convenient fast-pairing function, they'll lose out on support for Apple-only features like spatial audio and the impressive Transparency Mode. Details Save $40 $130 at Amazon Close Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker: $100 Ready to have a party by the pool? The Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker is an ideal choice because it is fully waterproof and dustproof. It also has very good sound quality for its size and a strong battery life. And a solid 33% discount is nothing to sneeze at. Details Save $50 $100 at Amazon Close Anker Soundcore Boom 2: $120 The Anker Soundcore Boom 2 is our favorite Bluetooth speaker. It has impressive sound and a strong bass and even offers up to 24 hours of playback on a single charge. Additionally, it's waterproof, has a USB-out port, is portable, has a handle for easy transport and even includes cool LED lighting. Details Save $20 $120 at Amazon Close When was Memorial Day 2025? Memorial Day honors fallen US military service members. The holiday is observed on the last Monday of May each year, meaning that Memorial Day 2025 was yesterday, Monday, May 26. When did Memorial Day sales begin? This year's Memorial Day weekend ran from Friday, May 23, through Monday, May 26, but sales began in earnest around May 19. Some sales have lingered for a little while after the holiday weekend, but we've found many of the best deals ended on Memorial Day. What are the best Memorial Day sales? As with other large-scale shopping events, Memorial Day deals tend to be wide-ranging across a number of major brands and retailers, including Walmart, Amazon and Home Depot. We saw a huge variety of discounts on laptops, 4K TVs, major appliances, mattresses, furniture, home goods and more this year, and many are still lingering today. Additionally, since Memorial Day is treated as summer's unofficial kickoff, it's a great opportunity to snag deals on patio furniture, outdoor power tools and other backyard essentials. Savings run across electronics, too, including headphone and speaker options. How we choose headphone and speaker deals While deals on headphones and speakers can be found throughout the year, major shopping events tend to be one of the best times to score a good bargain. CNET has a team of shopping experts and deal hunters who have operated across major sales events for many years, making sure you understand when a deal is worth taking advantage of or when it's worth skipping. In previous Memorial Day sales we have seen significant price drops on audio gear, and whether we're researching price cuts during Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day or another event, we've acquired the right expertise to make sure you walk away with the best deal possible. To do this, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing an offer to show you. Real discounts mean real discounts. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is. Quality reviews are equally important for any product, but particularly for deeply discounted items. If it breaks the first time you use it, the discount isn't really worthwhile. Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it will only be around for a short while or will only be available for the remaining stock, we'll let you know in advance, so you don't return later only to be disappointed. We are also considering the rising costs associated with tariffs to help you find items worth buying now. You can see a more detailed breakdown in our Buy of Wait guide.
