115 years of InLife: A night of legacy, purpose, and celebration

2025/12/09 15:00

How do you honor 115 years of safeguarding Filipino families? InLife did it with music, memories, and meaningful moments that reflected more than a century of service.

Held at Shangri-La The Fort, the anniversary gala became the highlight of the milestone year — an evening that blended culture, artistry, and heartfelt storytelling. Vice-Chairman Luis C. La Ó opened the night by affirming the company’s enduring mission: “InLife’s mission has always been clear: to protect Filipino families from financial hardships through life insurance. This purpose remains as vital today as it was at the very start.”

Executive Chairperson Nina D. Aguas followed with an inspiring message on the legacy behind InLife and the future ahead. “We were not built in comfort. We were forged in challenge. Yet each time history pressed in, we pressed forward. What has carried InLife for 115 years: a purpose anchored in faith, and in love for country and for our people… Let us make one more promise together: to lead with conscience, to innovate with heart, to act with courage, and to build something enduring for those who will follow long after we are gone.”

A key highlight was the unveiling of Kairos: Moments that Moved UsInLife’s commemorative book capturing defining decisions and turning points in its storied history. Executives led by President and CEO Raoul Antonio E. Littaua read excerpts from their authored chapters, offering personal perspectives on pivotal choices that shaped the company. A message from Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala, who wrote the foreword, honored InLife as a cornerstone of national progress, highlighting how the company laid the foundation for the insurance industry and has long stood as a symbol of trust, stability, and innovation.

Guests were treated to outstanding performances from the Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group, Acapellago, Maestro Ryan Cayabyab and the Ryan Cayabyab Singers, capped by a special number from InLife Dreamweaver and Brand Ambassador Sharon Cuneta. Award-winning host Rico Hizon led the program, culminating in a collective toast to 115 years of service and fortitude.

Ms. Aguas led the ceremonial toast to InLife’s 115-year legacy and future, joined by (from left) Mr. La Ó, Ayala Corporation Vice-Chairman Fernando Zobel de Ayala, and Mr. Littaua.

The celebration extended beyond the ballroom with the launch of the Kairos microsite (https://kairos.inlife.com.ph/)  and the photo exhibit Kairos: The Visual Narratives featuring images taken by President Littaua. These were auctioned to InLife employees and executives with the proceeds donated to the InLife Foundation. The exhibit will run until Dec. 15 at InLife Treasures, the company’s art gallery located at its Alabang Headquarters.

Good Going Round

Earlier that day, InLife delighted policyholders and visitors nationwide through its Good Going Round anniversary promo — giving out free Dunkin’ donuts in its offices and in UnionBank branches. More than a treat, each donut symbolized the goodness InLife has passed on for generations and continues to share today. The simple gesture sparked warm interactions, encouraged digital engagement, and brought the anniversary spirit to communities across the country.

As InLife turns the page to its next chapter, the promise remains: to continue giving Filipinos A Lifetime for Good.

Solana Price Stalls as Validator and Address Counts Collapse

The post Solana Price Stalls as Validator and Address Counts Collapse  appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Since mid-November, the Solana price has been resonating within a narrow consolidation of $145 and $125. Solana’s validator count collapsed from 2,500 to ~800 over two years, raising questions about economic sustainability. The number of active addresses on the Solana network recorded a sharp decline from 9.08 million in January 2025 to 3.75 million now, indicating a drop in user participation. On Tuesday, the crypto market witnessed a notable spike in buying pressure, leading major assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana to a fresh recovery. However, the Solana price faced renewed selling at $145, evidenced by a long-wick rejection in the daily candle. The headwinds can be linked to networks facing scrutiny following a notable decline in active validators and active addresses.  Validator Exodus Exposes Economic Pressure on Solana Operators The layer-1 blockchain Solana has witnessed a sharp decline in the number of its validators from 2,500 in early 2023 to around 800 in late 2025, according to Solanacompass data. The collapse has caused an ecosystem divide between opposing camps. One side lauds the trend, arguing that the exodus comprises nearly exclusively unreal identities and poor-quality nodes that were gaming rewards without providing real hardware and uptime. In their view, narrowing the list down to a smaller number of committed validators strengthened the network rather than cooled it down. Infrastructure providers that work directly with node operators have a different story to tell. Teams like Layer 33, which is a collective of 25 independent Solana validators, say, “We personally know the teams shutting down. It is not mostly Sybils.” These operators cited increasing server costs, thin staking yields because of commission cuts, and increasing complexity of keeping nodes profitable as reasons for shutting down. Both sides agree on one thing: raw validator numbers don’t tell us much in and of…

Surges to $94K One Day Ahead of Expected Fed Rate Cut

Surges to $94K One Day Ahead of Expected Fed Rate Cut

The post Surges to $94K One Day Ahead of Expected Fed Rate Cut appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. What started as a slow U.S. morning on crypto markets has taken a quick turn, with bitcoin BTC$92,531.15 re-taking the $94,000 level. Hovering just above $90,000 earlier in the day, the largest crypto surged back to $94,000 minutes after 16:00 UTC, gaining more than $3,000 in less than an hour and up 4% over the past 24 hours. Ethereum’s ether ETH$3,125.08 jumped 5% during the same period, while native tokens of ADA$0.4648 and Chainlink LINK$14.25 climbed even more. The action went down while silver climbed to fresh record highs above $60 per ounce. While broader equity markets remained flat, crypto stocks followed bitcoin’s advance. Digital asset investment firm Galaxy (GLXY) and bitcoin miner CleanSpark (CLSK) led with gains of more than 10%, while Coinbase (COIN), Strategy (MSTR) and BitMine (BMNR) were up 4%-6%. While there was no single obvious catalyst for the quick move higher, BTC for weeks has been mostly selling off alongside the open of U.S. markets. Today’s change of pattern could point to seller exhaustion. Vetle Lunde, lead analyst at K33 Research, pointed to “deeply defensive” positioning on crypto derivatives markets with investors concerned about further weakness, and crowded positioning possibly contributing to the quick snapback. Further signs of bear market capitulation also emerged on Tuesday with Standard Chartered bull Geoff Kendrick slashing his outlook for the price of bitcoin for the next several years. The Coinbase bitcoin premium, which shows the BTC spot price difference on U.S.-centric exchange Coinbase and offshore exchange Binance, has also turned positive over the past few days, signaling U.S. investor demand making a comeback. Looking deeper into market structure, BTC’s daily price gain outpaced the rise in open interest on the derivatives market, suggesting that spot demand is fueling the rally instead of leverage. The Federal Reserve is expected to lower…
