Now available at MOLD Manila, SkinPen Precision uses controlled microneedling to support the skin’s natural remodeling process and improve the appearance of facial acne scars in adults aged 22 and older.
MOLD Manila has introduced SkinPen Precision microneedling at its Quezon City clinics, expanding its range of non-surgical aesthetic treatments with a device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
SkinPen Precision was the first microneedling device to receive U.S. FDA clearance. The device uses sterile, single-use needle cartridges to create controlled microchannels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing response and supporting collagen remodeling.
The device is U.S. FDA-cleared to improve the appearance of facial acne scars in adults aged 22 and older. SkinPen Precision has also received U.S. FDA clearance for the improvement of neck wrinkles, expanding its applications in aesthetic skin treatments.
Unlike energy-based procedures that use heat, SkinPen Precision relies on mechanical microneedling to initiate the skin’s natural remodeling process. Treatment protocols may vary depending on the patient’s skin condition, treatment area, and individual aesthetic goals.
“At MOLD Manila, we are intentional about the technologies and treatments we introduce to our clients,” said Adrielle Costales, Founder and CEO of MOLD Manila. “Adding SkinPen Precision allows us to offer another clinically supported option for clients looking to address specific skin concerns through a personalized treatment plan.”
Each SkinPen Precision treatment at MOLD Manila begins with an assessment to determine whether microneedling is appropriate for the client’s skin concerns and goals. Treatment plans and the recommended number of sessions are determined individually.
The introduction of SkinPen Precision is part of MOLD Manila’s continued expansion of its non-surgical aesthetic services, which include facial sculpting, skin rejuvenation, and body contouring treatments.
SkinPen Precision microneedling is available at MOLD Manila’s White Plains and Baesa branches in Quezon City. Clients interested in the treatment may schedule a consultation to discuss their concerns and determine an appropriate treatment plan.
For more information or appointment inquiries, visit MOLD Manila’s official website or contact the clinic through its official social media channels.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES, JULY 9, 2026 — Casino Plus, one of the country’s leading responsible digital entertainment platforms licensed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), on July 9 launched a short drama series featuring “Bathala,” a supreme deity in Filipino mythology based on the platform’s popular game.
Inspired by the popularity of trending digital short movies, Casino Plus is putting an innovative spin on the format by bringing well-loved characters from its game roster to life on screen.
In Philippine mythology, Bathala (also known as Bathalang Maykapal) is the supreme god, creator of the universe, and ruler of the heavens. Revered by ancient Tagalogs as an all-powerful deity, he maintained cosmic balance, inspiring the common phrase “bahala na.”
Widely believed to have originated from “Bathala na,” the expression reflects a deep-seated cultural trust in his ultimate guidance and protection. In this lore, Bathala used a legendary “Great Formation” to restore peace between gods and humanity. The series puts a modern twist on this mythology, following the reincarnation of the Moon Goddess Mayari as she awakens to her divine past and recreates this ancient formation into a digital game to share its legacy of luck and fortune. By weaving these iconic figures into a modern narrative, the series taps into a powerful symbol of Filipino heritage and fate.
Bathala features a three-week run, dropping new episodes every week this July and concluding at the end of the month. This rollout is anchored on the company’s core mission: to bring fun to people, which also seeks to create games and content that resonate with local players by blending online gaming with authentic storytelling.
“We are incredibly proud to launch this series as one of our latest innovations,” said Evan Spytma, CEO of Casino Plus. “This project brings together Filipino culture, our unique games, and the power of storytelling through drama. We are committed to elevating digital entertainment by creating content that is relatable, engaging, and deeply rooted in Filipino culture. Every title we develop celebrates national identity—its mythology, heroes, and the stories that define the Filipino spirit.”
Aside from Bathala, the gaming platform has consistently built games centered around Filipino culture, including Color Game, Pacman Dropball, Malakas at Maganda, Mangkukulam, Maria Makiling, Tikbalang, Jeepney Rush, Jeepney Dash, Kapre, Kanto Feast, and Mayon Blessing.
Viewers can catch the weekly episodes on the official Casino Plus social media pages, with the first episode to be aired at 9 p.m. on July 9.
