Telegram, a popular instant messaging app, could soon be banned in the Philippines. The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) is studying the possibility of banning Telegram in the Philippines. DICT cited the platform being used to distribute pornography and facilitate gambling operations as a reason. In an interview, DICT Secretary Henry Aguda said that they are struggling to coordinate with Telegram developers to enforce local regulations on the platform. Aguda stressed that certain issues like online sexual exploitation and child abuse are “non-negotiable”, and if such content continues to be spread on any platform, the government will not think twice in blocking them in the country.

Samsung is having a more open-minded approach with Galaxy AI. The Galaxy AI, found on most Samsung smartphones, is turning into a multi-agent ecosystem. Apart from Bixby and Gemini, the platform now also supports Perplexity. Simply say “Hey, Plex!” to summon the AI tool. Perplexity will not only give you answers based on the internet, but will also let you manage and pull data from your Samsung Notes, Gallery, Reminder, Calendar, and other third-party apps. We expect to hear more about Perplexity’s integration with Galaxy AI on the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, which will happen on February 26, 2 AM Philippine time.
