A Japanese beef cutlet dining experience is coming to Bonifacio Global City as Gyukatsu BGC prepares to open on the 3rd Floor of Park Triangle Mall in November 2026. At the center of the new restaurant is gyukatsu, a Japanese dish built around breaded beef cutlet.

It defines the restaurant. A Restaurant Built Around Gyukatsu The Signature Gyukatsu Set will serve as the centerpiece of the menu when the Park Triangle Mall restaurant opens. Rather than positioning gyukatsu as one option among a broad selection of Japanese dishes, Gyukatsu BGC is building its dining identity around the beef cutlet...

  MANILA, Philippines — As AI adoption accelerates, Emerge believes the most successful organizations will be those that combine experienced people with intelligent systems. The company cautions against viewing AI as a complete replacement for human expertise. Instead, AI should automate repetitive tasks, provide decision support, and improve consistency while people continue to lead strategy, creativity, relationships, and accountability. Through HUGS, Emerge advocates a balanced approach where AI becomes part of a broader Business Growth System rather than a stand-alone initiative. The company plans to continue sharing practical guidance, educational resources, and case studies to help Philippine businesses adopt AI responsibly and effectively.

Technology is at its best when it helps people do their best work." — Carissa Coles - Noromor, Co-founder, Vice President, Emerge About EmergeLoc...
