Tinder members take on this season’s #ManilaEncounters

 

The season of binge watching horror flicks and outdoing one anothers’ Halloween costumes is here. Urban legends will once again be the talk of the town.  In fact, Tinder members take on this season’s #ManilaEncounters is one for the books. To start with, young singles say that multo is not the only mythical creature to represent the different dating personas or experiences of today’s daters.

 

The world’s largest dating app spoke with its members to discover how other Pinoy mythical creatures could be seen to disguise themselves as dating behaviors. So, if you think ‘ghosting’ is the only dating tale worthy to make it to this year’s kwentong kababalaghan, think again. These mythical creatures can represent either your dating life at present or the people you will encounter. Read on and arm yourself with a new power: identifying dating personas.

 

Kapre

a.k.a. the umasa sa tadhana era

Known to be a harmless prankster, this dark-sinned tree giant loves to sit in tree branches, smoking and doing nothing. The passiveness of a kapre represents those who leave love to chance. They are not actively looking for a match. Their philosophy is simple: when it comes, it comes.

 

Santelmo

a.k.a. the flex and snatch era

Anyone who decides to take matters into their own hands is living their best santelmo era. Believed to enchant and lure humans, this fire spirit represents someone who’s confidently putting themselves out there. They know exactly what they want and how to get it. They could be busy picking the best photos to get their Tinder profile verified and making sure their bio is enticing enough to earn a Swipe Right™ . 

Mangkukulam

a.k.a. the babaylan era

Know anyone who has sought the help of numerology, astrology or tarot cards? It's a telltale sign that they are mangkukulam. They are busy playing the FLAMES game or the life path calculator to assess compatibility with their crush. They tweet 11:11 everyday without fail. As a Leo, their Tinder profile could read “I will only swipe right to Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Gemini”.

 

In case you didn’t know, you can add your zodiac sign to your Tinder profile! Kaway-kaway sa mga mangkukulam dyan!

 

Bampira

a.k.a. the lf:cuddles lang daw era

If exploring is the name of their game, they are basking in the glory of their bampira era! They are just in it for the casual, yet exhilarating experience of dating. They’re probably spending time on the Free Tonight tab on Tinder Explore. Their Tinder Anthem? No doubt 🎵dai ali diri, sabak ka diri🎵 Sabay-sabay!

 

Tikbalang

a.k.a. the paasa era

This refers to those who find joy in their new-found power: paasa ak.a. your tikbalang era. A tikbalang often plays with travelers' minds (in this case hearts) by leading them to the wrong way and eventually getting them lost. They possibly found brotherhood in ghosters and zombies. To all the paasa out there, mga tikbalang kayo! 

 

Manananggal

a.k.a. the pro-heartbreaker era 

Arguably the most popular among Philippine mythical creatures, the manananggal is the final form of those who fail to find the antidote for their paasa era. Like the manananggal,  they are 🎵running around leaving scars, collecting your jar of hearts🎵 as THE Christina Perri puts it. In other words, they’ve become a pro-heartbreaker.

 

If this represents your current dating life, understand what you truly want instead of randomly committing yourself to anyone. If you’re in it just for fun, communicate your terms right off the bat so you won’t lead your match on to anything more than what you can offer. If you’re dating just because you’re probably 🎵scared to be lonely🎵as Dua Lipa puts it, try hopping on Tinder Explore to look for new barkada who can spend time with you. Tinder is about all forms of genuine connections. If not romantic, some TInder members are down for anything platonic and pure friendship. 

Diwata

a.k.a. the santo era

Anyone who managed to overcome their paasa version is enjoying their diwata era. Ascending to a diwata level means that they’ve earned the right to call themselves a dating guru. As the diwata, it is now their responsibility to pass on the dating tips and guides they’ve learned along the way–people might now start turning to them for advice (or prayers) to help them in their dating journey. Ang tugon: #SanaAll!

 

Whichever stage daters may be at in their journey, Tinder remains a platform where young singles can find spark and form genuine connections. The world’s number one dating app’s latest updates, including Tinder Explore and its built-in safety features, help young daters make their dating experience all treats and no tricks.

UnionDigital Banks 1.73-M Customers in Four Months

      UnionDigital Bank, the digital banking subsidiary of Union Bank of the Philippines, today announced that it has acquired 1.73-M customers, reached US$ 70-M in loan book size, and collected US$ 50-M in deposits from its first four months of operations in the country. UnionDigital Bank has achieved double digit growth in digital loans to mass market communities through ecosystem partnerships powered by UnionBank. 

 

“Since our launch, UnionDigital Bank has been focusing on serving the needs of the underserved communities within UnionBank by offering digital deposit and lending products to our ecosystem, and we will continue to support the needs of these customers with additional products overtime,” shared Arvie de Vera, co-founder, President, and CEO, UnionDigital Bank. “The series of milestones that we have been able to achieve is a testament to the strong execution power of the team, in accordance with our community-led business model.” de Vera further credits this achievement to the Digital Bank’s “laser focus” on the fundamentals: prioritizing the balance sheet.

 

“As a bank we’re very clear: it’s not just about having a cool app or millions of users who don’t generate revenue - it’s about a balance sheet. It’s about growing the loan book because that’s where the revenues come from- it doesn’t come from payments, it doesn’t come from sign ups. Valuation is great, but it’s not profitability.”

 

As a subsidiary of the Philippine’s largest techglomerate, UnionDigital Bank’s success in growing its loan book is due in part to its sophisticated use of available data of consumer behavior within the larger Aboitiz ecosystem to create tailor-fit loan products.

 

“If you’re lending within an ecosystem, you have an anchor community, and that’s a robust way to provide credit because you have more data. Rather than using payments data, which is really not a good proxy for someone’s capacity and willingness to pay. But if you have robust set of data with context on their financial behavior, then you can properly price the risk, because you have historical data on the customer, you know you can give him a customized interest rate. A one-size-fits-all pricing is an inappropriate lending business strategy and sub-optimal consumer experience.”

 

UnionDigital Bank’s mission to drive financial inclusion begins with improving access to credit to the underserved communities by capitalizing on technology and decades of alternative data from the UnionBank ecosystem to create robust credit models that fit the Philippines. 

 

In yet another milestone, UnionDigital Bank onboarded its first corporate account customer, Philippine Digital Asset Exchange (PDAX), marking the commencement of accumulating corporate account openings at UnionDigital Bank. Following PDAX, UnionDigital Bank aims to expand its partnership base with other leading communities and corporates, following its commercial launch. 

 

Starting  with PDAX, UnionDigital Bank has been expanding its partnership base with other leading communities and corporations. UnionDigital Bank looks to provide a smooth customer experience for corporates to make payments, transfer money, and even more core banking services such as treasury services, empowering businesses to do more with their financial assets. 

     

"Corporate partnerships are vital to helping us reach the communities who need it the most. They are integral to the cohesive network the bank seeks to build and I believe their involvement is critical to reaching a fully digital Philippines," said de Vera. "With this in mind, the start we’ve had with PDAX joining us on our journey affirms my excitement to include more corporate partners. We look forward to collaborating with partners of the same caliber to maximize the difference we bring to the financial lives of fellow Filipinos.” 

 

The PDAX corporate account partnership demonstrates how UnionDigital Bank is committed to being approachable to fintechs and regulated institutions by offering products relevant to them, their community, and partners. 

 

“We are confident that UnionDigital Bank offers the banking solutions that digital natives, such as PDAX, need to continuously grow,” said Nichel Gaba, Founder & CEO, PDAX.

 

UnionDigital Bank dares to make bold strides that result in direct changes to how Filipinos interact with their finances digitally. A homegrown fintech expert, PDAX, being the digital bank’s first customer is a good start to kick things off, continuing our rally to support our higher purpose of Tech-ing Up Philippines. 

 

The UnionDigital Bank app is now live for a limited set of customers. For now, the app is currently available by invitation only. Future updates on the launch will be available through the digital bank’s social media channels onLinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.

Samsung’s new AX32 Air Purifier keeps indoor air pure by removing ultrafine dust and reducing harmful bacteria and viruses

Now that COVID-19 restrictions are easing up and wearing of face masks outdoors is already optional, a lot of people are starting to go out more often to make up for the time lost to the pandemic. Yet, the fact that COVID-19 is still here remains. It’s still important to stay cautious and be aware of the quality of air around. Keeping hands sanitized and social distancing can only do so much for people to stay safe. The next best protection? Keep air quality at home virus-free and clean with air purifiers.

Trillions of ultrafine pollutants build up in the air that everybody breathes, even indoors. They are everywhere every day. The dirt and dust in the room, pollen and allergens from plants, gases from cookstoves and heaters—these are invisible particles that decrease indoor air quality and can potentially harm one’s health. [S2] 

That’s why it helps to have Samsung’s new AX32 Air Purifier, which keeps indoor air pure by removing ultrafine dust and reducing harmful bacteria and viruses with little to no effort. Young homeowners today invest in compact and stylish air purifiers such as this to have a functional home appliance that will fit their space and also increase productivity. After all, working from home and sprucing up a condo space feels way better when it’s guaranteed that there’s fresh, clean, and odor-free air around.

The Samsung AX32 Air Purifier has a multi-layered high-efficiency purification system for bigger spaces and can cover up to 41sqm area. It has a washable pre-filter that extracts larger house dust particles, an activated carbon deodorizer that removes harmful gases, and a dust collecting filter that captures up to 99.97% of ultrafine dust. 

And these filters are easy to maintain. The washable pre-filter only needs periodic cleaning, and the deodorizer and dust-collecting filter are built-in so it’s easy to replace. Additionally, the unit is equipped with a filter alarm, with an alert icon that blinks when it’s time for a clean or change. 

Doing air purity checks can also be instantly done with this home appliance. It has a 4-color indicator with a sensor which intuitively monitors and shows the level of air pollution at home, from low to high. It also has an Air Sensing Light, which immediately tells how clean the air is. 

The new Samsung air purifier will also fit right at home with its compact and sleek design. It is available in the color sand beige, perfect for minimalist city dwellers and homeowners. Its cube-style shape also takes up less space and features smooth rounded corners, making it a practical choice for homes that sport modern interiors. 

Lastly, this air purifier makes it possible to conveniently take care of one’s home anytime and anywhere because it is SmartThings-compatible. Just by connecting it to the SmartThings app, homeowners can remotely turn it on and off, check the air quality, and control other functions even before they get home. They can also set an operational timer in the app to save the air purifier’s energy consumption. 

The new Samsung AX32 Air Purifier is now exclusively available online for only PHP 10,995. Visitsamsung.com/ph/air-care/air-purifier/ to know more.
