Makati City, Philippines — September 1, 2025 – At The Astbury private members’ club in Makati, the spotlight turned to Filipino innovation as XPRESS Super App hosted a prestigious press conference to celebrate its inclusion in Forbes Asia’s “100 to Watch” 2025 list. The recognition, drawn from thousands of entries across the Asia-Pacific region, affirmed the company’s trajectory as one of the region’s most dynamic and promising platforms.
XPRESS leadership was in full attendance—President Cliff Cabungcal, CEO Nathan Taylor, Chief of Staff Alyssa Mae Duldulao, and Head of Expansion Robert Belda—welcoming members of the press to reflect on the milestone and unveil what lies ahead. The evening was framed less as a finish line and more as a checkpoint on a journey powered by a clear guiding principle.
“Recognition was never the goal. Our North Star has always been to create livelihood for drivers and build a multiplier effect—where a single driver can grow into an entrepreneur, hiring and mentoring others,” said President Cliff Cabungcal.
A Trajectory of Success
Founded in 2023, XPRESS Super App has charted one of the fastest growth stories in Philippine tech. In just its first year, the company expanded from a bold mobility startup into a multi-vertical super-app connecting Filipinos across transport, lifestyle, and fintech.
Key milestones include:
Mobility Expansion– Operating 2-wheel and 4-wheel ride-hailing in Metro Manila and Bataan, with sustainablee-trike loops in Boracay, and soon, expansion into Palawan.Innovation in Green Transport– Launching the country’sfirst electric taxi pilots, advancing clean mobility solutions in line with global sustainability goals.Upcoming Services– Preparing the rollout ofXPRESS Eats & Mart,XPAY(a digital wallet with Cebuana Lhuillier), andXPRESS Activities, a lifestyle marketplace tied to tourism.
This trajectory reflects not just market growth but cultural relevance, as XPRESS integrates into the everyday lives of Filipinos while creating inclusive opportunities for drivers, partners, and local businesses.
Looking Ahead
The September 1 event also previewed an upcoming Metro Manila feature designed to further solidify XPRESS Super App’s presence on the roads. Details will be announced soon, but leadership emphasized that every innovation is aligned to the same vision: making services more accessible, reliable, and proudly Filipino.
CEO Nathan Taylor highlighted that XPRESS’s rapid rise stems from solving problems rooted in local realities. “We’re not just building an app. We’re building a platform Filipinos can own and trust, one that reflects their needs and amplifies their pride,” he said.
Recognition as Validation
For XPRESS Super App, being named to Forbes Asia’s “100 to Watch” serves as validation of its path—but not its destination. Backed by strategic partners like Cebuana Lhuillier, the company is positioned for scale, longevity, and sustained impact.
Cabungcal closed the evening with conviction:
“Being on this list is a milestone, but our journey continues. Guided by our North Star, XPRESS Super App will keep building—bigger, smarter, and always Filipino-first.”

Discover Ultraformer at MOLD Manila—the FDA-cleared, non-surgical facelift that feels like a warm hug for your skin. Using focused ultrasound, Ultraformer lifts and firms naturally by stimulating collagen deep within, revealing a radiant, youthful you—without needles, downtime, or surgery.
Ultraformer Deep Dive: The Ultrasound Lift That Feels Like a Hug for Your Face
There’s a comforting warmth in knowing someone has your back—now imagine that feeling wrapped around your skin. Ultraformer at MOLD Manila uses focused ultrasound energy to lift and firm your facial contours from within, delivering a gentle “hug” that supports sagging skin and renews your confidence. Here’s why clients describe it as the treatment that feels as nurturing as it is effective.
Rediscovering Your Natural Lift
As we move through life’s milestones—late nights at work, joyful celebrations, and everyday stresses—gravity and time quietly tug at our features. Suddenly, your mirror reflection can feel heavier than your spirit. Ultraformer isn’t about erasing your journey; it’s about honoring every laugh line and story while giving your skin the subtle lift it needs to match the vibrant you inside.
What Is Ultraformer?
Ultraformer is the only FDA-cleared procedure that uses micro-focused ultrasound to lift skin naturally—no needles, no incisions, no downtime. By precisely targeting deep support layers that lie just below the surface, it encourages your body’s own collagen production, gradually firming and tightening over 2–3 months.
How It Works: Science Meets Comfort
Deep Tissue Precision: A handheld ultrasound device delivers energy at three depths—1.5 mm, 3 mm, and 4.5 mm—addressing both the dermis and the foundational SMAS layer (the same layer plastic surgeons lift in surgery).
Thermal “Hugs”: Each ultrasound pulse creates a gentle heating sensation (“micro-coagulation points”) that stimulates collagen remodeling—much like a warm embrace encouraging the skin to spring back.
Visible Lift Over Time: Unlike fillers that add volume instantly, Ultraformer builds new collagen beneath the skin’s surface, resulting in a natural, long-lasting lift that unfolds over weeks.
Many clients smile when they describe the sensation: it feels like a series of little pick-me-ups rather than discomfort—a reassuring warmth that reminds them their skin is getting the care it deserves.
The Emotional Reward of Gentle Renewal
Stepping away from a procedure can stir anxiety—yet with Ultraformer, clients often feel a soothing calm wash over them. Each ultrasound pulse is a promise: “I see you, I support you, and I’m helping you rise.” That nurture translates into confidence that carries beyond the clinic: straighter posture, brighter eyes, and the quiet pride of having invested in yourself.
The MOLD Manila Ultraformer Experience
Crafting Care with Clinical Precision
Compassionate Consultation. We start by hearing your story—your concerns about sagging jowls, hooded brows, or tired neck skin—and discussing realistic goals.
Customized Treatment Mapping. Our clinicians use ultrasound imaging to visualize your tissue layers, ensuring every pulse lands exactly where you need it most.
Comfort-First Delivery. With built-in cooling and precise control, the treatment feels like a sequence of warm, reassuring taps rather than sharp bursts.
Guided Aftercare. You’ll leave with personalized skin-care tips and a gentle massage routine to support your body’s natural remodeling over the coming weeks.
Complementary Enhancements & Combos
Ultraformer + 3D HIFU: Supercharge your lift and contour with layered ultrasound and focused collagen remodeling.
Ultraformer + Dermal Fillers: Add targeted volume after your lift to refine cheekbones, soften nasolabial folds, and accentuate results.
Ultraformer + LED Therapy: Calm any post-treatment warmth, enhance collagen formation, and boost skin radiance.
Ultraformer + Skin Boosters: Infuse hyaluronic acid serums to hydrate and plump the skin as new collagen takes hold.
Real Stories, Real Embrace
“I braced myself for pain but instead felt gentle warmth—like a caring hand lifting my face. Weeks later, my colleagues kept asking if I’d ‘slept better.’ It was Ultraformer’s gift of natural confidence.” — Rica, White Plains
“As a busy mom, surgery was never an option. Ultraformer at MOLD felt nurturing, and watching my jawline subtly return made me feel like myself again—strong and supported.” — Jordan, Katipunan
Final Thoughts
Ultraformer at MOLD Manila is more than a lift—it’s a compassionate act of self-care. By harnessing ultrasound’s precise warmth, we awaken your skin’s own renewal process, delivering natural, lasting definition without the anxiety of surgical downtime. If you’re ready to feel the gentle embrace of science and artistry working together, let Ultraformer carry you into your next chapter with grace and strength.
