Choosing the healthier option for lunch feels like a personal victory for wellness. But for Kenny Rogers Roasters, loving oneself can be a community win — especially through their Farmvocacy program.

The fan-favorite Chimichurri Solo B Plate has earned its reputation for being both delicious and nutritious. But this 2026, Kenny Rogers Roasters makes a direct investment in expanding urban agriculture by donating P1 for every Chimichurri Solo B purchase to the cause, helping scale sustainable food production and access to nutritious produce for underserved urban communities.

Five Years of Farmvocacy 

The Farmvocacy program began as Kenny Rogers Roasters’ initiative to maximize urban spaces. Now in its fifth year, it has evolved into a long-term commitment to sustainability. It’s no longer about just sowing seeds but cultivating self-sufficiency, particularly for individuals living in cities.

The success of the February donation drive pushed the program to strengthen its roots in the public school system in Metro Manila. Aside from bolstering two existing school farm sites, the funds also added three new partner schools: CP Teresa Elementary School, Pasay City Science National High School, and Mandaluyong Elementary School.

By partnering with these institutions, the program ensures that students aren’t just reading nutrition in their textbooks — they also get to witness where it comes from by growing their own harvests and eventually make it part of their regular consumption.

“We always believed choosing a healthy meal should feel like a personal win,” said Frederick Siy, President and CEO of Kenny Rogers Roasters Philippines. “But as we enter a milestone for the Farmvocacy program, we wanted to take that feeling further — by making your healthy choice a win for entire communities, too, and turning our own stores into living classrooms.”

Agriculture You Can See and Taste

To make the impact of the program even more visible, Kenny Rogers Roasters introduced a first for the Philippines: in-store urban farms. Located at the Quezon Avenue and Southwood branches, showcasing the value of farm-to-table harvests in spaces customers already frequent.

The program’s success is also built in collaboration with Urban Farmers Philippines, which helps turn unused spaces into working gardens through community demos and learning activities.

The impact comes full circle through a partnership with a non-profit organization, Rise Against Hunger, making Mandaluyong Elementary School the primary recipient.

With stronger school farms, innovative in-store learning hubs, and a direct link to community nutrition, Kenny Rogers Roasters’ Farmvocacy program proves that when everyone chooses to eat well, more people can, too.

DBS Tests Repo With Ripple RLUSD and Franklin sgBENJI

The post DBS Tests Repo With Ripple RLUSD and Franklin sgBENJI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple, DBS, and Franklin Templeton launch tokenized repo pilot on DBS Exchange. Repo trades use Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin and Franklin Templeton’s sgBENJI token. sgBENJI issued on XRP Ledger enables fast collateralized lending and settlements. DBS, Ripple, and Franklin Templeton have signed a memorandum of understanding to bring repo transactions into tokenized finance. The framework pairs Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin with Franklin Templeton’s sgBENJI tokenized money market fund, listed on DBS Digital Exchange. The setup gives accredited clients a path to rebalance cash into a regulated, yield-bearing vehicle while transacting with stablecoins that settle within minutes. For institutions used to overnight repo desks, this is a first look at how traditional liquidity tools can migrate onto public blockchains. Related: Franklin Templeton Launches its DeFi Solution Benji on Ethereum Demand From Institutions Shapes the Design The three firms cited rising demand for digital asset allocations, with surveys showing nearly nine in ten institutional investors plan to increase exposure in 2025. The repo model was chosen because it mirrors an existing backbone of global funding markets: collateralized lending against short-term securities. By allowing RLUSD to trade directly against sgBENJI on DBS Digital Exchange, desks can manage intraday liquidity, park stablecoin reserves into a fund earning regulated yield, and unwind positions quickly when cash is needed. DBS to Expand Collateralized Lending The next phase extends sgBENJI beyond a trading instrument into repo collateral. DBS plans to let investors pledge sgBENJI against credit lines arranged through the bank or third-party lenders. That opens deeper liquidity pools with the assurance that collateral sits inside a regulated balance sheet. For trading desks, that means onchain repo could eventually function like its traditional counterpart, rolling positions overnight, secured by tokenized assets that settle in near real-time. XRP Ledger as the Settlement Rail Franklin Templeton will issue sgBENJI tokens on…

A 3821% surge in 20 years: Why are Pokémon cards valuable investments?

A 3821% surge in 20 years: Why are Pokémon cards valuable investments?

By David Unyime Nkanta Compiled by: TechFlow The Pokémon trading card game is extremely popular around the world, especially in Japan. These cards are very valuable, especially the rare ones. (Image source: Twitter / FADA Pack Magic @FadaPackMagic) Pokémon trading cards have gone from amusement park items to one of the world's hottest alternative investments. According to data from analytics firm Card Ladder, the Pokémon card market has grown 3,821% in value since 2004, far outpacing the S&P 500's 483% increase and Meta Platforms' 1,844% growth. From hobby to high-yield asset Pokémon trading cards, launched by Nintendo in 1996, have become a popular investment, traded across platforms including eBay, TCGplayer, and international expos. The market has seen explosive growth during the pandemic, as stimulus policies and lockdowns have driven collectors toward alternative assets. For some, the investment has yielded life-changing returns. Lucas Shaw, a 27-year-old account manager in Ohio, said the profits from selling the cards helped him pay for his wedding rings and celebrations. Similarly, Justin Wilson, a 32-year-old advertising manager in Oklahoma City, estimates the total value of his collection of 500 cards and 100 sealed items at about $100,000. He considers Pokémon cards part of his investment portfolio, alongside his Roth IRA and securities accounts. The appeal of Pokémon cards lies not only in financial gain but also in their emotional resonance. "You have to collect them all," Wilson said, referencing the series's classic slogan. For many, the cards represent both childhood nostalgia and speculative opportunity. Where does the value of rare Pokémon cards come from? A classic Poké Ball toy with matching Pokémon trading cards.

Image credit: Thimo Pedersen/Unsplash Unlike stocks, Pokémon cards don't generate dividends; their value depends on their rarity, condition, and cultural significance. Cards graded as perfect PSA 10 by the Professional Sports Authenticator (PSA) often fetch exorbitant prices. The most dramatic example occurred in 2022, when influencer Logan Paul purchased a near-perfect "Pikachu Illustrator" card for $5.3 million, setting a Guinness World Record for the most expensive Pokémon card ever sold privately. This event further ignited market interest and highlighted the speculative potential of high-level cards. Risks of the Pokémon Card Market Financial advisors warn against considering collectibles as the core of a portfolio. Card prices are extremely volatile, influenced by hype, media coverage, and collector sentiment. Counterfeit cards also remain a potential threat, with scams frequently occurring. Image source: Flickr/c0rnnibblets Still, the resilience of the Pokémon brand provides some stability to the market. Pokémon spans video games, movies, and merchandise, and unlike sports trading cards, the characters are immune to scandals, making them a safer investment for some collectors. The Future of Collectibles Investing The rapid rise of Pokémon cards reflects a broader shift in people's perception of value. As digital assets like Bitcoin face regulatory scrutiny and tech stocks undergo a market correction, tangible collectibles offer a nostalgic and potentially profitable haven. While the sustainability of its value remains uncertain, the 3,821% growth over the past 20 years has established Pokémon trading cards as the most vivid example of how a childhood hobby can transform into a multi-million dollar investment.
