"Don't Pay Cash. PayMaya!" promotes better than cash benefits with new features and rewards

Just because money is out and cashless transaction is in!
I have been shopping and paying for loads for the past month using only my PayMaya app through my mobile phone. Ever since I downloaded the app, shopping has become easy and convenient. There is a discount promo when you buy a load. How's that and if youre lucky enough, there is a cashback promo for every transaction you made for the day. It lessened the burden of carrying cash and coins around. 

Filipinos now have more reasons to go cashless as PayMaya launches its "Don't Pay Cash, PayMaya!" brand campaign promoting a more convenient and rewarding payment experience for all Filipinos nationwide.  

PayMaya ramps up its efforts to increase cashless transactions in the country with the launch of its “Don’t Pay Cash. PayMaya!” Campaign, along with a fresh new look, exciting app upgrades and more rewarding promos.

Vea, Founder and CEO; Shailesh Baidwan, President; Miguel Fernandez, Group Chief Finance Officer; Mar Lazaro, Head of Enterprise Business; and Heidi Garayblas, Head of Brand and Marketing Services.  

Through the upbeat consumer campaign, the digital financial services leader unveils an enhanced PayMaya mobile app, exciting new features, and more compelling merchant partner promos, as well as the best cashback promos and discounts for an overall more rewarding experience for all users. 

PayMaya's new brand campaign features a catchy jingle with lyrics promoting the best perks of going cashless, set against the tune of the song "Ligaya" popularized by the iconic OPM band Eraserheads. Through the campaign, PayMaya encourages all Filipinos to get more joy and value out of daily transactions by opting to use PayMaya instead of cash for all their payments needs.  

CUTENESS OVERLOAD: Attendees of the “Don’t Pay Cash. PayMaya!” Launch were entertained by PayMaya’s official mascots, Maya, who danced to PayMaya’s newly launched jingle to the tune of the iconic Eraserheads anthem "Ligaya."

"PayMaya is undoubtedly the best way to pay in the Philippines today. Our formula is simple – make digital payments accessible, more convenient, more secure, more rewarding, and more fun. With a newer and smoother app experience, the biggest discounts and cashback promos, and an ever-growing network of merchant and add money partners, it's now better to 'PayMaya' instead of paying with cash," said Paolo Azzola, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director of PayMaya. 

Better than cash rewards  
PayMaya is taking the lead in unlocking the multiple rewards and benefits of going cashless. With the pre-holiday and e-Commerce sales just around the corner, using a PayMaya account for everyday transactions is the best way to get the best discounts and cashback for all your purchases. 

Cashless convenience, just a click away: Attendees of the event experienced firsthand the cashless convenience featured in the “Don’t Pay Cash. PayMaya!” campaign launch with seamless payments via PayMaya QR available at the Eattogether Food Hall in Capitol Commons.



Just for September alone, PayMaya users can get as much as P5,000 in cashback from the various promos rolled out by the brand. All one has to do is use the PayMaya app for prepaid load and gaming pins, bills payments, sending money, PayMaya QR transactions with partner merchants, and online shopping. 

Even getting a PayMaya account gets more rewarding as PayMaya is giving as much as P200 just by registering with a referral code and upgrading their account.    

"We're just getting started and this will get more exciting as we gear up towards the holiday shopping season. Our goal is to make every Filipinos embrace digital payments by multiplying the benefits of going cashless," said Azzola. 

Better than cash experience  
To usher in a next-level experience, PayMaya has updated the mobile app to make it easier and safer to use.  

The most popular services such as Sending Money, Buying Load, or Sharing Treats are now easily accessible with just one tap at the home screen of the app. Under the PayMaya Shop, one can also find more variants for digital goods such as telco load, gaming PINs, and treats vouchers - with the best discounts through promos.  

Funding one’s PayMaya account is also easier–users can add money from your bank account through InstaPay or by linking their credit* or debit card. 
PayMaya places high importance in security. 

All PayMaya users are encouraged to upgrade their accounts not only for higher transaction limits but also for safer transactions. To facilitate this, PayMaya has introduced a simpler and faster Upgrade process featuring selfie and AI technology. PayMaya also recently unveiled a sexier and safer black card design with the card number and other sensitive information at the back, instead of being displayed at the front. 

Better than cash:  Influencer Ashley Chan shows off her PayMaya card which sports a new, sleek design, as well as an added layer of security for instagram-savvy Pinoys. With her PayMaya in hand, she can easily hop on the cashless lifestyle and unlock awesome rewards! 


The new app design, initially available to Android users and also soon for iOS devices, prominently features the latest promos and perks that account holders can take advantage of, so that they can easily discover ways to make the most of their money with PayMaya. 

"Expect more features and services to roll out in the coming months. Our goal is to make the payments experience of every Filipino hassle-free and more secure," explained Azzola. 

Don't pay cash. PayMaya!  
With all these brand-new features and exciting new promos for users, PayMaya's "Don't Pay Cash. PayMaya!" campaign targets to accelerate digital payments adoption in the Philippines. This is in support of the National Financial Inclusion goals of the country and the aim to increase digital transactions in the country to 20% by 2020 under the National Retail Payment System (NRPS).

PayMaya is the only financial technology company in the Philippines offering integrated consumer and merchant payment solutions with the widest on-ground branch network. It is the first to give millions of Filipinos an e-wallet that allows them to pay cashless transactions at any time of the day, anywhere in the world, and from any device. It is the financial technology arm of Voyager Innovations, the leading technology company in the country backed by PLDT, KKR, Tencent, World Bank’s IFC and the IFC Emerging Asia Fund. 

Its “universal payments platform” enables the country’s top eCommerce sites, major retail and quick-service restaurants and government institutions, as well as MSMEs to accept multiple kinds of cashless payments.

The SM Store Share Shoes Program brings joy to kids in Isabela

Shoes are essential in one’s journey through life, especially for students. With a pair of good shoes, they will not only be able to fulfill their daily tasks with ease, but it can also inspire them to work hard and take little steps to achieve their dream.

For most students in the city, a school bus or a stroll down the sidewalk are their usual commute. But for students in the province, it is a different story.

Samantha, a student from the Diasan Elementary School, shared the hardships she and her classmates face to reach school.

“Malayo po ang nilalakad namin ng nakapaa. Madulas po ‘pag umuulan at mahirap, maputik ang daan. ‘Yung mga iba po na nakatira sa may bundok, naglalakad po sila ng malayo. (My classmates and I have to walk a long way to get to our school. When the rainy season comes, the slopes become slippery and dangerous which makes it harder for us. The others who live near the mountain walk even farther),” Samantha said. 

Diasan Elementary School is tucked in the middle of the Barangay Diasan, a remote farming community in Isabela with over 600 residents. Students like Samantha have to walk an hour or more on rough terrain to get to and from school and are sometimes forced to skip classes if the river is swollen due to heavy rains.

Despite the challenges, one would be surprised at the great lengths they are willing to go to for their education. The simple gift of a new pair of shoes will allow them to walk to and back to school in comfort and safety.

These are the kinds of stories that inspired the SM Store’s Share Shoes program to reach to the community to continue its mission of bringing joy - through the gift of shoes that can help make the journey of the students easier and more comfortable.

Sharing the gift of new shoes
Most students in Diasan have not set foot in a mall before, let alone a shop selling shoes, so as a treat for the kids, employee volunteers from The SM Store, Savemore and SM Foundation transformed one of the classrooms into a shoe store. They assisted the kids in choosing and fitting their very own shoes from the display of clogs, sneakers, sandals, flats and slip-ons donated by The SM Store MLC Shoes and Bags, and SM’s retail affiliates Crocs and Simply Shoes.

The employee and community volunteers also set up a “Feet Washing Corner” before the shoe fitting to impart the importance of taking care of one’s feet. The kids could not hide their joy as they selected and tried on their new footwear.

Apart from receiving new shoes, the kids were treated to fun games and groceries from Savemore. The kids even gamely participated in a Zumba dance number led by The SM Store Cauayan employee volunteers. Wearing their new pairs of shoes, the kids enjoyed the activities knowing their feet were comfortable and secure.


Taking steps to a brighter future
Samantha said that having a pair of shoes is important to protect their feet from injuries.
“Masaya po ako nu’ng nakita ko ‘yung mga kaibigan ko na suot na nila ‘yung sapatos kasi ‘di na sila mahihirapan maglakad ng isang oras papunta ng iskul (I was so happy to see my friends wearing their shoes because now, they won’t have a hard time walking an hour to school),” Samantha said.

Teacher in charge Domenador Mayuyo Jr. shared that for some of the kids, it was their first time to own a pair of shoes, with many of them walking to school wearing slippers or barefoot.

“It’s the first time for some of our students to receive a pair of shoes. Having a new pair of shoes is like a dream come true for them. It is a blessing for them to receive new pair of shoes that they can use to go to school,” Mayuyo said. 

Through the gift of new shoes, The SM Store hopes to inspire these kids to take those important steps toward achieving their goals.

Promoting the culture of sharing and purposeful giving
The shoe donation was also accompanied by a medical mission through the partnership of The SM Store with the SM Foundation, Caritas Philippines and the Diocesan Social Action Center of Ilagan. Residents of the community were able to avail of medical and dental consultations, laboratory works, and had X-ray and ECG examinations, and medicines courtesy of the SM Foundation’s Mobile Clinic, all for free.

The activity was a part of the SM Share Movement, a program promoting a culture of sharing and purposeful giving among SM shoppers all year long. Since 2015, the SM Share Movement has collected over 1.3 million donations composed of shoes, clothing, books, school kits, disaster kits and toys.

The SM Store’s Share Shoes program encourages its shoppers to donate brand new and pre-loved footwear not just to help kids walk safely and reach their desired destinations, but to also inspire them to take important steps toward achieving their goals.

“We would like to thank all the shoppers and our partners who donated and participated in The SM Store’s Share Shoes Movement. This wouldn’t be possible without you. Given the rough terrain and the challenges that these students of Diasan face just to get to their school, the new pair of shoes is a great help to them,” said Cielito Velasquez, Assistant Branch Manager of The SM Store Cauayan. 

Through the #SMShareMovement Project, the SM Store remains committed to its promise to give back to communities and to be a partner in their development. Through the simple but valuable gift of shoes, they can continue to be a part of Barangay Diasan’s journey as the children take steps toward a brighter future.

First Look: Huawei High-end Experience Store at Ayala Mall Manila Bay!

Huawei PH launches its Huawei High-end Experience Store at the newly-opened Ayala Mall Manila Bay!  This is like any other Huawei Store but definitely bigger and posh and it houses all your favorite Huawei phones, accessories and tablets. This is good news to all those in the South. 

Huawei executives led by Mr. George Li, Country Manager of Huawei Consumer Business Group for the Philippines and selected media gathered at the event.

These show places provide official demo and availability of premium products such as the Huawei Watch GT and Matebook 13, as well as a wide selection of accessories such as wireless earbuds, fitness bands, phone cases, fast chargers, power banks and more.

Echoing the success of Huawei here in the country, Huawei opened its biggest HUAWEI High-end Experience Store in the country, where loyal fans of the tech brand can view and experience the best and most diverse Huawei products to ever hit local shores. 

A tech haven by the Bay

Located in Ayala Mall Manila Bay, the new HUAWEI High-end Experience Store devotes its massive floor space to an all-encompassing selection of tech products designed to upgrade Filipino lifestyles. Apart from displaying Huawei’s latest and greatest flagship devices, the Store also features “show places” for products dedicated to specific interests such as photography, music, sport & health, smart home, office, and gaming, to name a few.

A customer-centric space for all

Given its spacious capacity, the HUAWEI High-end Experience Store also provides top-tier customer assistance for all Huawei-related concerns. The Store’s warm and inviting interior is deliberately designed to be a customer-friendly space so that people can just walk in and talk to any of the accommodating and highly-experienced staff without fuss.

Exclusive perks and promotions

To celebrate the HUAWEI High-end Experience Store’s opening, Huawei is offering a number of amazing promotional freebies for in-store purchases of specific products. First up on September 26, 2019, the first 50 customers to purchase a Huawei P30 Series and Nova 5T will get a free MediaPad T3 (worth PHP 5,790).

The second promotion gives participants who finish the customer experience program a free PHP 500 voucher towards any smartphone or tablet purchase (excludes Nova 3 Lite, Nova 3i, Nova 3, and Mate 20 Pro).

The third promotion, which runs September 26-29 entitles customers who purchase specific models to the following freebies:

Store Exclusive: Mystic Blue and Misty Lavender P30 Pro

Just to give fans and customers more incentive to stop by this sprawling store, a pair of brand-new color variants for the Huawei P30 Pro are arriving exclusively at the HUAWEI High-end Experience Store.


Now in Mystic Blue and Misty Lavender, the P30 Pro continues the immensely stylish precedent set by the phone’s launch colors like Amber Sunrise and Breathing Crystal: the new two-tone look plays around with visual textures that exhibit a dreamy elegance only seen in Huawei devices. Moreover, the AI-supercharged Leica Quad Camera, Kirin 980 chip with 8GB RAM, and IP68 water/dust resistance continues to make the Huawei P30 Pro the flagship of choice for Filipino consumers.

Nationwide availability (via select stores) won’t be until October 10th, but eager customers can pre-order their very own Mystic Blue/Misty Lavender P30 Pro only at the HUAWEI High-end Experience Store from September 26 – October 9, 2019. Pre-orders for the new color variants will include exclusive freebies, namely the BT Speakers and Huawei Band 3. SRP for the new color variants is at PHP 45,990 with 256GB of storage.

Mr. George Li, Country Manager of Huawei Consumer Business Group for the Philippines sees HES Ayala by the Bay as more than a celebration of the brand’s success, saying “Our launch of the biggest Huawei Experience Store in the Philippines is the physical manifestation of our commitment to continued customer service excellence; it’s big in that it has the best Huawei has to offer in terms of product offerings, customer assistance, promotions, and beyond.”

With its official launch set on September 26, 2019, the HUAWEI High-end Experience Store marks a huge leap for Huawei’s official presence in the country and a touchstone for the brand’s future endeavors in the Philippines.

“Beef Mechado a la Lou” My Spuds and Dairy Culinary Cup-Inspired Recipe

Everyone who knows me will attest to the fact that I LOVE anything with milk in it. Whether it’s milk tea, champorado, halo-halo, omelette, soups, name it! I am also equally obsessed with potatoes. It’s one of the most nutritious and affordable veggies around. They’re also super versatile that you can just about add it to any ulam. 

I’ve probably cooked all the variations of Pinoy viands with milk and potatoes. I prefer adding milk to soups, as it gives it a richer flavor. Meanwhile, potatoes are an excellent extender and absorbs the flavors in the dish. A perfect combo, diba?

Beef Mechado a la Lou is Masarap Machado!

This reminds me of my Mother's trademark recipe, MECHADO, where she uses loads of potatoes and adds milk to enhance the taste of the beef. This dish has become a family favorite and is part of almost every celebration in our house like birthdays, Christmas, New Year, anniversaries, and when my siblings come home from abroad.

Before knowing that she uses milk in her mechado, I tried to recreate her recipe, but the flavor always came up short like there’s something missing! That’s when she shared her secret ingredient. Adding milk really makes a difference!

Inspired by the recent Spuds and Dairy Culinary Cup, I decided to make my own version of mechado that I’m sure will make my Mom proud!

Here’s how to turn your beef mechado into “masarap machado”! 

Ingredients:

*1 cup California Sunshine Milk 
*1 cup U.S. Dehydrated Potato Flakes
*3 medium potatoes, sliced into 2-inch cubes (I would have used U.S. Fresh Potatoes, but they are not yet available in Metro Manila)
*1 kilo beef short ribs, sliced into 2-inch pieces
*2 tablespoon cooking oil
*2 tablespoons crushed garlic
*1 cup onions, chopped
*1 1/4 cups tomato sauce
*3 medium sized tomatoes
*2 medium sized red bell pepper
*1 teaspoon salt
*1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper to taste
*2 teaspoons fish sauce
*1 cup water

California Sunshine Milk is exclusively sold at S&R Membership Shopping

U.S. Dehydrated Potato Flakes are usually available in baking supply stores. If you can’t find it near you, just contact Potatoes USA-Philippines via their Facebook.





Procedure:

Heat oil in a heavy saucepan over medium to high heat.  Fry the short ribs on all sides until golden brown.

Stir and season with salt, pepper, and fish sauce.

Add water and California Sunshine Milk. Bring to a gentle boil.  Lower heat to the lowest possible setting. Cover the pan and simmer until the meat is tender, approximately 2 hours.

Make sure to stir every 15 minutes to avoid a burnt bottom. If needed, add a little water so it doesn't dry out.

Fry the chopped potatoes and carrots until the potatoes are golden brown.

Once the meat is soft and tender, add potatoes, carrots, red bell pepper. Continue cooking until the vegetables are cooked through.

Add U.S. Dehydrated Potato Flakes for a creamier soup base. Adjust according to desired texture and richness.

Adjust the seasoning with a little salt or fish sauce.

Best to serve while warm.

Blockbuster ulam! Simu’t sarap in 60 seconds!

I’m sure my Mom would agree that adding dehy potatoes is a stroke of genius! 😊

                     I had to cook another batch. It was just so good!
