Toki, the first social commerce platform for collectibles here in the Philippines, has taken this excitement to a whole new level

Livestream auctions are the ultimate thrill ride—bidders battling it out in real-time, and the energy is electric. Toki, the first social commerce platform for collectibles here in the Philippines, has taken this excitement to a whole new level. They've created a virtual space where collectors can not only score awesome stuff but also hang out and interact. 

Here are the top 5 moments from Toki's livestream auctions that totally stole the show:

Moment 1: Bigboy Cheng’s PHP 45K Funko Pop Madness


Famous collector BigBoy Cheng auctioning the Family and Friends Exclusive Funko Pop. 

Funko Pops are all the rage, and when Bigboy Cheng dropped the Family and Friends Exclusive Funko Pop, collectors went wild. The bids soared as fans from everywhere tried to snag this rare gem, especially since all proceeds benefited those who were affected by Typhoon Carina. The livestream bid ended with a jaw-dropping PHP 45,000 price tag, setting a new record for the most expensive item ever sold via auction on Toki.

Moment 2: The Epic 9-Hour Auction Marathon

Hubbyte Toy Store's previous livestream auction on Toki impressively ran for nine hours.

Toki’s usual auctions are about 1.5 hours, but one of Hubbyte Toy Store's shows stretched to an insane nine hours! Bidders and viewers were glued to their screens as the livestream featured everything from Demon Slayer Nendoroids to Bandai One Piece Gashapons. Just when you thought the auction was over, the audience kept on clamoring for more! Viewers would request for their toy lines and Hubbyte would comply after some lighthearted teasing. Talk about the Toki community’s passion!

Moment 3: TheMonYu’s NBA Bonanza – Over 100 Items Sold!


Toki’s livestream auction with The MonYu’s NBA collection had over 100 items sold. 

NBA fans, rejoice! TheMonYu’s huge NBA memorabilia collection went under the hammer and it was a hit. More than 100 items, including cards of legends like Michael Jordan and LeBron James, were sold in a single livestream. TheMonYu’s haul was a major win for collectors and set a new benchmark for most items sold in a Toki auction.

Moment 4: 17 Minutes of Pure Adrenaline, Rapid-Fire Bidding 


Collector BigBoy Cheng’s auction for the China Blue Funko Pop skyrocketed from P3,000 to P10,000 in just 17 minutes.  

The Big Boy Cheng China Blue Funko Pop auction further reinforced the concept of suspense in Toki’s livestream auctions. Priced at a seemingly reasonable P3,000 when the bidding commenced to ascend rapidly as the entire livestream was closely watched. The bidders were outbidding each other as the tension mounted before the final bid of P10,000 was reached, all within 17 minutes! This moment further underlined how collectible Funko Pops are in isolation when they become super exclusive and rare!

Moment 5: 500+ Viewers for Kokoy de Santos’ Debut Auction 


The launch of actor Kokoy de Santos’ first livestream auction with Toki. 

Toki’s auctions are already unique, but actor Kokoy de Santos’ first one is a game changer. Kokoy, an indie artist and former sticker collector turned art aficionado, drew in more than 500 viewers on various platforms. He auctioned off Funko Pop from across different lines and as a bonus, performed a snippet from a BINI dance for his engaged fans. At the end of the auction, as a thank you to all the viewers commenting during the livestream on the Toki website, he raffled off exclusive Toki x Secret Fresh t-shirts that he autographed. The auction definitely showcased Toki's commitment to foster a vibrant community and creating engaging experiences for all. 

These moments are just a glimpse of the excitement Toki brings to the table. Whether it's record-breaking auctions or high-energy bidding led by influencers, Toki’s livestream auctions are always a blast. Don’t miss out—check out www.tokiasia.com and who knows, you might just score big!

Vista Land's Vision: The Rise of Master Planned Developments Shaping Tourism, Growth, and Infrastructure in North and Central Luzon

 

North and Central Luzon are undergoing a significant transformation due to the emergence of urban hubs, which are becoming key regions for the Philippines due to the synergy of cultural preservation, economic advancement, and infrastructure enhancement. This evolution is driven by collaboration between the public and private sectors, positioning these regions as major contributors not only within the country but also in the broader Southeast Asian landscape and beyond.

 

Vista Land, the Philippines' leading integrated property developer, has aligned itself at the forefront of this change. The company has laid a strategic plan focusing on master planned developments and condominium projects, resonating with the regional shift towards self-sustaining communities that flourish amidst rapid urbanization, cultural conservation, and economic growth.

 

Tourism: Merging Heritage and Modernity

Vista Land master planned developments in North and Central Luzon tap into the rich cultural heritage and diverse tourist attractions of the regions. For instance, Vigan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Ilocos Sur, is famous for its well-preserved colonial architecture. As infrastructure projects like the Luzon Spine Expressway Network improve accessibility, Querencia, a Vista Land master planned development, aims to offer contemporary living while honoring the historical essence of the area. 


In Alaminos, Pangasinan, the renowned destination of Hundred Islands National Park is complemented by Ylana, which aims to enhance local eco-tourism efforts while promoting environmentally friendly practices. Similarly, in Subic, Zambales, a major tourism and economic hub in Central Luzon, Montessa will combine the natural beauty of the location with state-of-the-art amenities, making it an attractive getaway for tourists and residents.

 

Growth Centers: Emerging Economic Powerhouses 

In addition to tourism, the company is focusing on the economic potential of North and Central Luzon. These regions are becoming economic powerhouses due to their strategic locations, availability of land, and expanding industrial sectors. Vista Land master planned communities are being developed in provinces such as Bulacan, Pampanga, and Bataan to support the growing local economy.

One example is Verida in Balanga, Bataan, a sustainable and technologically oriented estate attracting residents from business process outsourcing (BPO) firms, tech companies, and educational institutions bolstered by the Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge project. Similarly, Amistelle in San Fernando, Pampanga, caters to the growing residential demand in this regional commercial hub, strategically located near key infrastructure like the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) and Clark International Airport.

The development of the New Manila International Airport in Bulacan is a game-changer, enhancing connectivity for local and international markets and spurring the growth of adjacent areas into industrial and commercial zones. In Santa Maria, The Crescent is designed for professionals and families who are drawn to the job opportunities in the area and proximity to Metro Manila.

Vista Land's Vision: The Rise of Master Planned Developments Shaping Tourism, Growth, and Infrastructure in North and Central Luzon The capital of Bulacan, Malolos, is also experiencing significant progress, driven by modernization initiatives and the rise of new business districts and residential enclaves like Provence, a 350-hectare French-Mediterranean estate. Baliwag, another fast-growing town, is capitalizing on its heritage and status as a gateway to North Luzon, with integrated estates like Castellana benefiting from improved road networks.

 

Infralink Projects: Paving the Way for the Future

Vista Land master planned developments in North and Central Luzon are intricately linked with the regions' ongoing expansion of expressways, railways, and airports. These projects enhance connectivity, reduce congestion, and stimulate economic growth, making the areas more attractive to investors, tourists, and residents.

For instance, upgrades to Laoag International Airport in Ilocos Norte and road development projects like the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway (TPLEX) are enhancing access to areas like Bramasole in Laoag, which combines modern amenities with cultural charm. Similarly, Tuguegarao in Cagayan Valley is set to benefit from the expansion of Cagayan North International Airport and highway improvements, with Rosevale offering a mix of residential and commercial options to accommodate the growing population.

Urdaneta, Pangasinan, is poised to become a key commercial hub in North Luzon, owing to its strategic location along TPLEX. Giardana capitalizes on the improved accessibility, positioning the city as a prime location for businesses and residents. In Bulakan, Bulacan, the anticipated completion of the North-South Commuter Railway (NSCR) will further enhance connectivity to Metro Manila and Clark, with Silaya providing new housing solutions for the growing population.

Vista Land: Leading the Charge in North and Central Luzon, Shaping Developments for Tomorrow

Vista Land is committed to creating master planned developments that will flourish in the changing landscape of North and Central Luzon. As these regions continue to transform into economic powerhouses, the company is poised to lay the groundwork for innovative urban developments that promote regional growth while honoring the unique cultural and natural heritage of the area.
