Early this week, an initial draft had proposed a pre‑clearance system where companies would apply for an advertising permit 30 days before posting and pay ₱975 per ad material. This fee would have been on top of the 12% VAT already charged by platforms like Facebook.

Each ad was also expected to carry a DTI permit number, covering posts on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Shopee, and other platforms.

The plan quickly drew criticism. Senator Bam Aquino opposed the move, warning it would burden MSMEs and online sellers who rely on digital platforms to reach customers.

In its latest statement, DTI assured the public and the business community that the internal draft does not reflect current policy direction and will not be finalized or enforced. The agency said it remains committed to supporting economic growth while balancing consumer protection with innovation and a competitive business environment.

The first Firefly laptop will be the Lenovo Lecoo Air 14, with over 70 designs expected in the first wave. Intel’s reference design shows a slim 11mm profile with a clean look, highlighting the project’s focus on efficiency and portability.

Intel says performance is competitive. The mid-range Core 5 320 CPU reportedly scores 21 percent higher in PassMark than Apple’s A18 Pro chip, though benchmarks should be taken with a grain of salt.

By leaning on China’s smartphone supply chain, Intel hopes to unify OEM designs to make laptops that balance price, performance, and availability.
