Ride-hailing company inDrive has announced it is rolling out Php2.7 million worth of fuel vouchers for its drivers. The move is meant to help them deal with rising fuel prices, which have been driven higher by the conflict in the Middle East. The company said in a statement that the goal is to ease the financial pressure caused by increasing fuel costs. It added that the assistance will help drivers continue working without having to take a hit to their income or pass extra costs on to their passengers.

Pinoy-made e-tranvia now offers free rides around Intramuros

A new kind of ride is now rolling through the historic streets of Intramuros in Manila. It looks like a tram from the old days, but it runs on pure electricity and was built entirely by Filipinos. The vehicle called the e-tranvia was shown to the public on March 19. It can carry 18 passengers and moves at low speeds, making it perfect for sightseeing inside the Walled City. Several groups worked together to make this happen. The Department of Science and Technology teamed up with its regional office in Metro Manila and its research institute in Bicutan. They also got help from the University of the Philippines Diliman and Cagayan State University. The body of the vehicle uses a special material made from abaca fiber. This was developed by DOST researchers. The electrical parts including the batteries and motor came from the UP Diliman team. Cagayan State University handled the design and put together the frame and suspension. MetroFuel Tracker shows a map of gas stations wit...

NVIDIA announces DLSS 5, gamers say it ruins original art styles

NVIDIA showed off its latest graphics technology at the GTC 2026 conference. The company introduced DLSS 5 , a new version of its popular tool that helps games look better and run faster. But the reaction from players has been mostly negative. Many people who saw the demo footage said the new feature makes characters look strange and unnatural. The new DLSS 5 system works differently than before. Older versions of DLSS helped games by sharpening images or creating extra frames to make movement smoother. DLSS 5 goes a step further. It uses artificial intelligence to change how things look while you play. The AI looks at things like lighting and movement, then draws new versions of characters and objects on top of the original game. It can handle fine details like hair and skin at 4K quality. NVIDIA’s leader Jensen Huang had big praise for the new tool. He said it marks a major shift for game graphics, mixing traditional work from artists with AI to create more realistic scenes. The...
