Your Dinner Plans This Love Month, Now With 20% Cashback When You Pay With Your Maya Credit Card

 February usually means more dinner plans than usual. Some are dates. Some are catch-ups. Some are just excuses to go somewhere good. And if a solid night out for you means great food, good company, and a bill that doesn’t kill the vibe, this one’s for you.

It works across the kinds of places people usually gravitate toward this season. Think dining at Antonio’s, Gallery by Chele, Toyo Eatery, or Hapag.

IKEA Releases GREJSIMOJS Collection in the Philippines

 If you find yourself putting away your children's toys to keep your home looking neat, consider toys that are designed to be part of your home furnishings. IKEA's GREJSIMOJS collection is a thoughtful example of this approach: toys that fire up children’s imagination, made in soft, sculptural forms and neutral tones that double as decorative objects for the home. 

IKEA’s 2024 Play Report found that play has a much bigger role than just filling in children’s idle time. Rather, it’s a way for the young ones to help build trust, self-confidence, empathy, creativity, and imagination — all leading to their well-being.

 

IKEA’s Play Report is a large-scale international study that explores the role of play and playfulness in children’s lives and family well-being. It draws on extensive quantitative and qualitative research that includes surveys of 7,000 children and their parents in seven countries, and 36 in-depth family home visits to understand how play is perceived, prioritized, and experienced in the home. 

 

“We live in a turbulent time and children are more worried and stressed about grown-up things than they were just a few years ago. But there is an antidote — play,” IKEA said in the report. “At IKEA, we believe that children are the most important people in the world — we take play and a playful everyday life seriously.” 

 

Play revolution

IKEA designed the GREJSIMOJS collection, bringing play front and center for families who want children to simply be children — carefree, curious, and connected.

 

Anna Granath, Range Identity Leader for IKEA, said, “GREJSIMOJS is meant to be a visible part of the home furnishing, with objects that are beautifully designed to fit the home, even after the children have gone to bed.”

 

GREJSIMOJS is not only a playful collection, it was also designed in a playful way. Despite its open-ended invitation to think freely, which initially brought together more than 20 designers with 12 designers featured in the final collection, GREJSIMOJS is firmly rooted in the research of play.  

 

The designers were given free hand and encouraged to draw from their own experiences as children to create the range, bringing both the perspective of an adult and a child, like “how might an adult perceive a statement rug, and at the same time, allow it to be a wild landscape for a crawling child to explore.” 

An alternative to gadgets

Locally, children’s play being replaced by technology has been a growing concern for many years. According to a 2024 study, Filipinos rank third highest globally in screen time, spending nearly nine hours a day across devices. A bigger concern is the excessive screen media use among Filipino youth — including preschoolers — with many exceeding World Health Organization recommendations and linked to developmental and sleep issues.

 

Now, Filipino parents are being offered an alternative, one that brings play and toys back into the home without adding visual chaos.

 

IKEA Philippines Country Retail Manager Ricardo Pinheiro said, “GREJSIMOJS is meant to celebrate the joy and importance of play for everyone in the family. These pieces are designed to spark imagination and invite children to play freely, while also blending beautifully into the home. Play doesn’t have to be packed away, it can be part of everyday living for the whole family. When families play together, it strengthens bonds and creates lasting memories that go far beyond the moment.”

The collection features a range of playful and colorful furniture pieces for children, including uniquely shaped chairs, whimsical rocking toys, character-inspired lighting, and creatively designed stools. It also offers smart storage solutions such as multifunctional boxes and decorative containers in fun, stylized forms. Soft furnishings like carpets, cushions, and covers add comfort and texture to the space, while toys such as building blocks encourage children to explore shapes and sizes and support the development of logical thinking skills.

 

IKEA’s GREJSIMOJS collection will be available at IKEA Pasay City and on IKEA.ph starting February 13. Check out IKEA.ph for more.

Couple Goals: How Managing Money Together Strengthens Your Bond

 February is full of heart-shaped chocolates, bouquets of flowers, and the scramble for restaurant reservations. The kilig will always have its place, but couples who have been together for years know that lasting love is not just about grand gestures, it's in the everyday ways you show up for each other.

And yes, that includes money. Finances can feel tricky to talk about, but how you handle money together says a lot about commitment. When done right, shared financial habits can be one of the most genuine expressions of love. 

Here’s how your money habits might reflect your love language and how having the right banking partner like Metrobank can keep your relationship in good hands.

 

1. Acts of Service: Taking care of what matters

Beyond the gestures of opening the door or saving your partner a seat, it’s making sure the bills are paid on time, tracking shared expenses, and handling the “boring” but essential tasks that keep life running smoothly.

Metrobank’s bill payment and credit card tools make it easier to not only to stay organized, but also to show that you care – so you can focus on each other instead of last-minute stress.

2. Words of Affirmation: The budget sit-down

Budgeting doesn't always sound romantic, but it can be. Conversations about saving for a home, a car, or a wedding, build trust and alignment that you see a future together.

Saving tools like Metrobank’s eSavings or placing your money in a Metrobank online time deposit that allows you to earn a little more can help turn shared goals into clear plans. Because sometimes, “I see us building a life together” is the most powerful affirmation of all.

3. Physical Touch: The security of a safety net

Safety and closeness go hand in hand. An emergency fund is like a reassuring hug – it gives peace of mind and creates a sense of protection, allowing couples relax and focus on connection instead of worrying. Building that cushion together is its own form of closeness.

4. Quality Time: Investing in your future

It isn’t just about dates – it's about building something meaningful together. From exploring investments like Unit Investment Trust Funds (UITFs) to planning big trips and securing the best deals at the upcoming Metrobank Travel Fair from February 20-22, 2026, you’re investing in experiences as much as financial growth.

After all, wealth isn’t just measured in numbers, but in memories you’ll look back on years from now.

5. Receiving Gifts: Make everyday spending work for you 

Who doesn’t love a little surprise? Using your Metrobank credit card allows you to earn points from regular purchases, turning routine swipes into date nights, airline miles for trips, or thoughtful gifts. You also don’t need to worry about money transfers for your purchases, as you can enjoy PHP8 InstaPay fee per transaction — Metrobank's lowest rate ever.

This month of love, go ahead and buy the flowers. Make the reservation. Post the sweet photo. But when the night winds down, take a moment to talk about your future, too. Because planning your financial journey together isn’t just adulting—it’s one of the sincerest ways to say, “I’m in this with you.”

Ready to take the next step in your financial journey together? Discover Metrobank’s products and services to help you and your partner build a stronger, more secure future.

AS Watson Commits to 21% Reduction in Virgin Plastics by 2030, Raising the Sustainability B

 AS Watson, the world’s largest international health and beauty retailer, is strengthening its plastic-reduction ambition with an enhanced commitment under the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Global Commitment 2030. The company is pledging to reduce virgin plastic in its own-brand packaging by 21% by 2030, using 2022 as the baseline year.

This renewed target, now featured on the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Global Commitment website, reinforces AS Watson’s leadership in advancing a circular economy and tackling plastic waste across its global footprint.

 

Strategic Actions for Sustainable Packaging

The commitment covers four key sources of own-brand packaging: product packaging, in-store carrier bags, online business parcels, and single-use plastics in warehouses —areas where AS Watson can make the greatest impact. To achieve this ambitious goal, AS Watson will step up efforts to eliminate unnecessary packaging, increase the use of recycled plastic content, promote packaging that is more recyclable or reusable, and expand refill and reuse systems across its global operations.

 

Sebastien Pivet, Chief Sustainability Officer & QA Director of AS Watson, said, “Reducing plastic waste is one of the most urgent environmental challenges of our time, and retailers have a responsibility to lead this transition. By setting an ambitious 21% reduction target for virgin plastic in our own-brand packaging by 2030, we are turning our 185‑year legacy of care into clear, measurable actions that cut plastic at source across all our markets. By expanding refill and reuse systems and increasing recycled content, we’re making significant progress towards reducing plastic waste from our operations.”

 

Sebastien added, “As AS Watson celebrates its 185th anniversary, this milestone reinforces the company’s long-standing commitment to making a positive impact across its global operations. Sustainability shapes every decision we make, and it will continue to guide how we innovate and grow responsibly alongside our customers and communities.”

 

Turning Commitment into Impact

To bring this plastics reduction target to life, AS Watson has been translating its ambition into tangible changes in packaging design across its retail brands and markets.

 

To name a few examples, in Asia, Watsons China has strengthened its commitment to sustainable packaging by redesigning product packaging. Plastic windows were removed from collagen hand cream gift packs, saving 2.36 tons of plastic, and plastic trays were replaced with FSC-certified paper trays in collagen hand and body care packs, saving another 5.26 tons. In Europe, Superdrug has redesigned the packaging for the Naturally Radiant range by removing laminated mirror board. All cartons are now fully recyclable and FSC certified, and every SKU contains at least 30% recycled plastic content.

 

“At Watsons Philippines, we support this campaign by transitioning our stores from plastic to paper bags and encouraging customers to bring reusable bags. We are also expanding the distribution of our Recycle for Rewards bins, inviting customers to return empty personal care plastic bottles, while promoting our better packaging, refill packs, and reuse products both in-store and via the Watsons app, making sustainable choices easy and accessible for Filipino customers,” said Danilo Chiong, Managing Director of Watsons Philippines,” said Danilo Chiong, Managing Director of Watsons Philippines.

 

AS Watson calls on businesses, industry peers, and partner suppliers to join the 2030 Plastics Agenda for Business and work together to reduce plastic waste and pollution. By working together across the value chain and inspiring customers to choose more sustainable products, AS Watson believes the retail sector can scale circular packaging solutions and deliver meaningful environmental benefits.
