AndX Global Unveils Manila One, a First-of-Its-Kind Tokenized Land Development With Global Access

$100 million USD-denominated offering brings a 54-hectare Metro Manila development on-chain, built for global distribution and secondary trading.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AndX Global today unveiled Manila One, a $100 million initiative that is the first to tokenize a large-scale, development-stage land project and open it to investors worldwide from day one.

Originated in the Philippines, structured through a U.S.-based investment framework and built for distribution to eligible investors globally, Manila One represents a new model for cross-border real estate investing. It combines a local asset, institutional structuring, global access and a path to liquidity.

Manila One applies tokenization where the most value is created, in the development of raw land, and opens it to investors around the world from the start.

"Tokenization without liquidity is simply digitized illiquidity," said Viru Raparthi, CEO of AndX Global. "Manila One changes that model by giving global investors access at the development stage, while building toward real liquidity. This isn't just about tokenizing real estate. It's about creating a global market for real-world assets."

Designed for global investors

Manila One is built to overcome the barriers that have kept private real estate closed to most investors: access, currency, minimums and exit.

- Global access: open to eligible investors in more than 190 countries, subject to applicable law

- USD-denominated: priced and reported in U.S. dollars

- Low minimum: tokens priced to ensure maximum participation

- Digital ownership: each token represents an economic interest in the development-stage project, with digital custody and blockchain-based recordkeeping

- Built for liquidity: designed for secondary trading on regulated AndX exchanges globally, so eligible holders can buy and sell their interests rather than stay locked into a multi-year private investment

Behind the offering is an end-to-end model that AndX intends to apply to other asset classes. It runs from origination through U.S. structuring, digital issuance, global distribution and custody to secondary trading. AndX Global provides the technology, tokenization, exchange, custody, payments and distribution infrastructure.

"The next generation of capital markets won't be defined by geography," Raparthi said. "It will be defined by access."

The asset: 54 hectares, 5 km from Bonifacio Global City

The project centers on about 54 hectares of waterfront land roughly 5 kilometers from Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Metro Manila's leading business district. Proceeds will fund horizontal development, including roads, utilities, drainage and other core infrastructure, to prepare the site for future residential, commercial and mixed-use construction. A later phase is planned to include affordable housing.

Manila One is sponsored by Jack Rodriguez, a Filipino entrepreneur and President of ARC Pacific Development, Inc., whose family story spans generations and two countries. His ancestry traces to passengers associated with the Mayflower and America's earliest Pilgrim settlers, while his own roots remain deeply connected to the Philippines. Rodriguez sees the project as a bridge between the United States and the Philippines.

"Major development opportunities in the Philippines have mostly been available to a small circle of institutions, developers and wealthy families," said Rodriguez. "Manila One opens that up, starting with Filipinos around the world and extending to investors everywhere who want a stake in transforming a major Philippine asset."

The project is advised by Romel C. Cañete, widely regarded as one of the early visionaries behind Manhattan's Hudson Yards transformation. Cañete evaluated developer bids for more than 40 million square feet of mixed-use development over the West Side rail yards â work that helped shape what became one of the most successful and consequential urban redevelopment projects in modern New York City.

"On Hudson Yards, the first question was whether the infrastructure could carry the vision," said Cañete. "Manila One starts in the same place. What's different is who gets in on the ground floor. It's not just a handful of institutions anymore, but investors around the world."

Tuley’s Takes – Week 9 College Football Best Bets, Picks and Predictions:

This is a huge weekend in the Tuley’s Takes home office, with our regularly scheduled NFL Takes column posted Wednesday and my annual columns on horse racing’s two-day Breeders’ Cup on Friday and Saturday, but we also want to keep our winning ways going in college football.

My Best Bets went 3-1 ATS last weekend with wins on Wyoming +5.5 in the Cowboys’ 28-14 win vs. Force on Friday night plus Saturday’s plays on Michigan +7.5 in the Wolverines’ 13-6 OT home loss vs. Indiana and Minnesota +7 in the Golden Gophers’ 13-10 home upset of Iowa. Our lone loss was Pittsburgh +20.5 in a 52-23 loss (ouch!) at No. 1 Miami-Fla., but it still only counts as one loss and we’ll take 3-1 ATS any day.

We actually moved to profitability at 18-15 ATS (54.5%) and +1.5 units at the standard -110. Hopefully we can improve on that over the last five weeks of the regular season and into the bowls and CFB Playoff.

Let’s apply our “dog or pass” philosophy to Week 9’s card with a continued emphasis on home dogs as that’s how we helped turn around this season.

#22 Arizona (+3.5) at #13 Texas Tech

We’ll start on the road with a noon ET Saturday kickoff in Texas. I haven’t faded Texas Tech this year as the Red Raiders have mostly looked impressive, though I wish I had back on Friday, Sept. 18, as they only beat Houston as 7.5-point home favorites (ironically, that was also a matchup of #13 vs. #22 teams), but this is a great spot to fade them after losing 37-24 at Cincinnati last Saturday to fall from the unbeaten ranks to 6-1. Longtime handicapper and frequent VSiN guest Marc Lawrence of playbooksports.com has this game listed among his “bubble burst” plays this week of teams that suffer their first loss of the season. Lawrence’s system was part of the origin of what me and one of my ViewFromVegas.com Forum members, tpking (stands for Toilet Paper King, as he owned an apartment supply company), called “anti-swagger plays” of teams that just had a win streak snapped of six games or more. Lawrence has his “bubble burst” system teams from the start of a season at 23-34-1 ATS since 1980 and 14-28 ATS if coming off a loss of 12 points or fewer, so they usually play like they had the swagger beat out of them and usually have a letdown. And Arizona is no slouch at 6-1 and coming off an impressive 39-3 rout of Iowa State. Also, it’s interesting to note that Arizona also blew out Cincinnati (the same team that beat Tech last Saturday) 34-7 back on Oct. 3, so I’m counting on the Wildcats to be in this the whole way to pull off the minor upset or lose by just a field goal.

College Football Best Bet: Arizona +3.5

#6 Utah at Cincinnati (+6.5)

Speaking of Cincinnati, I also wish I had bet them as 11.5-point road dogs at Texas Tech last week, but I couldn’t pull the trigger after the Bearcats let me down the prior week by blowing the game and cover in a 45-42 loss at West Virginia. I wasn’t sure they could match Tech score-for-score, but they did with a balanced offense, so I’m jumping back on them as home dogs vs. No. 6 Utah, which is undefeated at 7-0. Utah has the nation’s longest winning streak at 12 games, but their last two wins were by only one score and this should be another back-and-forth shootout. Can Cincinnati pull a second straight home upset of a Top 10 team? I think it’s closer to a coin flip than this line indicates, but I’ll take the bonus point.

College Football Best Bet: Cincinnati +6.5

#17 Florida (+12.5) vs. #3 Georgia

Both teams are chasing first-place Kentucky (as the late, great Norm Macdonald famously used to say, “Wait! What?”) in the SEC. This isn’t a home underdog, but at least it’s the next-best thing: a neutral-site game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta after 32 years in Florida (EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville is undergoing renovations). It’s almost a home game for Georgia, though tickets to the “World’s Largest Cocktail Party” are split 50/50. Anyway, I just won with Florida two weeks ago in the Gators’ 27-24 outright upset of No. 7 Texas as 11.5-point road dogs, as I felt the line was too high, and we’re getting a similar number here as the line continues to climb (it’s as if people are betting Georgia as a home favorite). We’ll gladly take the points again whether it’s Tramell Jones Jr. (22-for-35, 155 yards, two TD passes in first start vs. Texas) or Aaron Philo (1,341 yards, nine TDs, three INTs in first six games). Oh, and Georgia is also in a “bubble burst/anti-swagger” spot after losing 27-24 to Auburn to fall from the No. 1 ranking and to 6-1 overall.

College Football Best Bet: Florida +12.5

#24 Oklahoma State at Iowa State (+9.5)

Let’s close with a home dog: Iowa State hosts No. 24 Oklahoma State in Ames, Iowa, where the Cyclones usually protect their turf. They won their last home game 45-42 over West Virginia, but the game I keep looking back on is their 31-17 loss to No. 15 Utah, since it was priced similarly against a ranked team. Iowa State didn’t cover as 7.5-point home dogs, but they stayed within the spread at 24-17 late before Utah tacked on an insurance TD. That shows me they can stick around here, too. The Cyclones are coming off an embarrassing 39-3 loss at Arizona (one of the reasons I picked UA above), but that was with the backup quarterback, and coach Jimmy Rodgers is going back to starter Jaylen Raynor, who has just seven TD passes and four INTs, but the offense was still better with him.

College Football Best Bet: Iowa State +9.5

The 2026 tennis season is into its final stretch, and this week brings a pair of ATP 500 events in Vienna and Basel. With the Paris Masters next on the calendar and the ATP Finals approaching, there’s still plenty to play for as players look to finish strong on the indoor hard courts.

Both tournaments should give us plenty to work with from a betting perspective, and I’ll be posting my tennis best bets daily throughout the week. My write-ups will focus exclusively on ATP matches, but I’ll also have women’s picks available on the picks page.

With that in mind, keep reading for my tennis best bets for Friday, October 30, at the Erste Bank Open and Swiss Indoors Basel.

RELATED: Check out some of the tennis bets our VSiN experts have for Tuesday!

Valentin Vacherot vs. Holger Rune

It’s possible I’ll add some other plays to my Friday card, but the only thing I have at the moment is Vacherot on the moneyline. This is a tough match for me, as Vacherot and Rune are two guys I’d prioritize having in a faction if I were a wrestling manager. I absolutely love the way both of these guys compete. However, as things stand, it’s hard not to view Vacherot as a strong value play.

When 100% healthy, Rune offers more than Vacherot. However, just a couple of months into his return from a torn Achilles, it’s hard to say he’s playing his best tennis. Since returning to action, Rune’s Performance Rating in TennisViz’s tracked events is just 6.95. That would rank only 96th in 2026 if extrapolated over the entire season. At his best, Rune is a top-10 player in the world, so those numbers should tell you how far he is from his peak level. Meanwhile, Vacherot has a Performance Rating of 7.65 in tracked events this year, putting him comfortably above the Dane.

Vacherot’s also about as steady a player as you can find. His serve is good enough to give him a shot in any match he plays, and he’s going to hang around from the back of the court. And something I do think will be interesting here is the backhand matchup. Rune has one of the best backhands on the planet, but Vacherot’s two-hander is awesome. If Rune doesn’t have a major edge from that wing, are we sure he’s going to have enough advantages everywhere else? I think Vacherot will be the more effective server and returner, which is why the plus-money odds are hard to pass up.

Bet: Vacherot ML (+120)

Added Plays

I usually have A LOT MORE on the Pro Picks page. Those plays count towards my record and have been a big part of my success this season. Make sure you check them out. I’ll probably add a few more over there, so refresh that page throughout the day if you’re looking for action.

Boston Harbor community earns recognition inspired by the service standards of the world's leading hospitality brands

Collaboration Strengthens EVA Air's HoustonâTaipei Partnership and Supports Endangered Species Conservation

TAIPEI, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- EVA Air has successfully transported Harris, a male eastern bongo, from the United States to Taiwan, fulfilling a commitment first made during the airline's 10th anniversary celebration of its Houston-Taipei route last year. Harris departed Dallas-Fort Worth aboard EVA Air cargo flight BR697 on October 26 and, following an approximately 18-hour journey, arrived in Taipei at 9:35 p.m. local time on October 27.

Harris' journey to Taiwan was more than a year in the making. In June 2025, during EVA Air's celebration of its Houston-Taipei route at the Houston Zoo, the Houston Zoo announced plans to send a male eastern bongo to the Taipei Zoo to support conservation efforts for the critically endangered species. As part of the collaboration, EVA Air signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Houston Zoo and committed to sponsoring and managing the animal's specialized transportation to Taiwan. To welcome Harris after his journey across the Pacific, EVA Air prepared a special welcome banner, and he was greeted by Executive Vice President Ken Chung. Additional guests who welcomed Harris included American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Director Raymond Greene, Taipei City Government Deputy Secretary-General Eric Chen-Hua Yu, and Commissioner of the Department of Education Tang Chih-Min; Taipei Zoo Director Ju Shiau-Fen, Visit Houston Asia-Pacific Director Leo Yao, and Houston Zoo Animal Programs Vice President Kevin Hodge gathered upon his arrival in Taipei.

"EVA Air has reached an important milestone with 11 years of service to Houston, and the route's longstanding passenger load factor of more than 90% demonstrates the importance of this air connection between the two destinations," said EVA Air. "We are honored to support Harris' journey and contribute to conservation efforts for this critically endangered species. Throughout the transportation process, EVA Air applied the highest level of professionalism and care to ensure Harris traveled safely and comfortably to his new home in Taipei. We hope his arrival will contribute to the continued conservation and growth of the species."

Transporting Harris required nearly six months of careful planning and preparation. His journey to Taiwan will help strengthen Taipei Zoo's remaining female eastern bongo population and support ongoing conservation efforts for the critically endangered species. To help him become comfortable with his surroundings ahead of the flight, the Houston Zoo placed his transport crate in his habitat several months in advance, allowing him time to become familiar with it before the journey. While the flight was originally planned to depart from Houston, the size of Harris' specialized transport crate required a move to Dallas-Fort Worth, where he traveled aboard an EVA Air Boeing 777F freighter. His crate was carefully secured to the cargo pallet, and the cargo hold temperature and humidity were maintained in accordance with live-animal transportation requirements. A Houston Zoo animal care professional also accompanied Harris on the flight to monitor his condition, provide food and care as needed, and help keep him comfortable throughout the journey.

"The United States is proud to support partnerships that strengthen cooperation between our communities," said AIT Director Raymond Greene. "Building on the historic sister-city relationship between Houston and Taipeiâthe first sister-city partnership for both citiesâand the 2023 cooperative memorandum of understanding between the Houston Zoo and Taipei Zoo, Harris' transfer to Taipei represents another milestone in our enduring partnership. This collaboration highlights the value of U.S.-Taiwan partnership, scientific expertise, and practical cooperation in advancing wildlife conservation, protecting biodiversity, and supporting the long-term survival of endangered species."

"As the coordinating organization for this transport, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to EVA Air for undertaking the vital mission of connecting our two destinations over the past ten years," said Visit Houston. "In addition to providing the Taiwanese community in Houston with the 'fastest way home,' EVA Air has also provided the Bongo, Harris, with the 'fastest route to his new home.' Visit Houston once again thanks EVA Air for its significant contributions to the Houston community."

"We sincerely thank EVA Air for their generous sponsorship and our sister city's Taipei Zoo for their strong support in jointly making this species conservation project a reality," said Houston Zoo. "This milestone marks an important beginning for the Bongo antelope breeding program in Southeast Asia and highlights the power of international cooperation in wildlife conservation. We look forward to Harris settling into his new home, and we are confident that the dedicated keepers at Taipei Zoo will provide him with meticulous care. Thank you all once again for your collaboration and shared commitment to wildlife conservation".

"This year marks 65 years of sister-city friendship between Houston and Taipei," said Taipei Zoo. "To commemorate this important milestone and highlight the strong cooperation between the two cities in wildlife conservation, we are welcoming Harris from the Houston Zoo to support ongoing conservation efforts for the eastern bongo. We are grateful to EVA Air for its care and support throughout Harris' journey to Taiwan and look forward to continuing our work together to protect this important species."

EVA Air followed strict operational and safety standards throughout Harris' journey, reflecting the airline's expertise in transporting specialized cargo and its commitment to wildlife conservation. EVA Air is one of a limited number of airlines worldwide to hold four International Air Transport Association (IATA) Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) certifications, including CEIV Pharma, CEIV Lithium Batteries, CEIV Fresh and CEIV Live Animals. The airline applied its established live-animal transportation procedures for Harris' transport, helping ensure safe and consistent handling at every stage of the journey.

About EVA Air:

A Star Alliance member, EVA Air was founded in 1989 as Taiwan's first privately owned international airline. It is an affiliated company to global container-shipping leader Evergreen Line. It flies a fleet of more than 80 Boeing and Airbus aircraft to around 60 international destinations throughout Asia, Oceania, Europe, and North America.
