Philippines Power Refund: The Philippines’ energy regulator ordered Meralco to refund about P9.5B to customers, starting next billing cycle, after a price correction for 2025. Renewables Cost Pass-Through: Separately, TransCo is seeking approval to raise the feed-in tariff allowance for 2027, warning delays could mean extra charges for end users. Food Safety & Recalls: Health Canada warned consumers to stop using certain epoxy resin kits sold online due to missing hazard labeling, and Canada also issued a Hershey’s Kisses recall over undeclared almonds.

Consumer Market Watch: Big Tech’s AI spending surge is reshaping ad markets and capital spending, raising questions about whether higher costs will translate into returns.
