Metrobank Kicks Off the Season with #EarlyGIFT Challenge and Happy Holideals

 For a lot of Filipinos, owning or upgrading their home and car count among their biggest life goals and the best holiday gift they can give to themselves and their loved ones. This August, Metrobank begins the celebration of the holiday season early with a call to jumpstart Filipinos’ journey to financial mindfulness, as well as great deals to help them finally make these dreams a reality, and achieve it even earlier.

A month before the –ber months, one of the world’s longest holiday season, the bank launched its early holiday season advocacy and offers at a media event on August 8 at One Ayala Malls. The event was made more meaningful and underscored the pre-holiday call to act early, as Jose Mari Chan, the country’s holiday season icon, serenaded the audience with the earliest carols of the year, to help spread the message of early planning and joyful, purposeful spending.

Your guide to turning your dreams into reality

Last year, Metrobank introduced G.I.F.T., a pre-holiday tradition that encourages Filipinos to plan ahead of the holidays using four practical financial principles: Get guided by goals, Invest your bonus wisely, Follow a budget plan, and Take advantage of deals --- all before the holiday season rolls in. With international studies showing that 8 out of 10 people are not able to achieve their new year resolutions made in January, taking up Metrobank’s challenge to start planning their financial goals in August gives them the clearer headspace before the biggest spending or saving season of the year, and increases their chances of fulfilling their goals. The bank aims to make more Filipinos be more financially mindful and help them avoid the so-called financial hangover often experienced post-holidays.

This year, Metrobank is taking the next step with the introduction of the #EarlyGIFT Challenge – encouraging Filipinos to take concrete action towards their dreams. This is an invitation for every Filipino to jumpstart their journey to financial mindfulness this August.

The challenge is simple: participants only need to write down one goal they truly want to achieve in the next 12 months. Ensure that this goal is meaningful, specific enough to track, and realistic enough to reach within a year. Then, share it on social media with the hashtag #EarlyGIFT, and invite their family and friends to do the same. 

Chief Marketing Officer Digs Dimagiba said the #EarlyGIFT Challenge will help start a change in mindset for individuals to be more financially purposeful which then creates a ripple effect towards better decision making.

“We encourage all Filipinos to become more financially mindful and resilient by redefining our usual holiday traditions when it comes to financial planning. Let us all start making our resolutions early in August – take the time to reflect, make just 1 specific and realistic goal that you can publicly commit to doing for the next 12 months, and inspire others to join you so you have a support system and this time, you as well as your family and friends can all finally accomplish your resolutions and grow together,” he added.

Your partner to achieving the car and home of your dreams 

To help Filipinos get started early in achieving their biggest life dreams in August, Metrobank also announced the bank’s Happy Holideals promo. 

Metrobank Consumer Lending Group Head Peaches Cuenco shared “Metrobank believes that your dreams of moving into a new home or driving a new car should not wait until the holiday season. With our Happy Holideals promo that offers low rates, waived fees, and more, you can start working on your goals today and we will be your financial growth partner every step of the way.”



The Happy Holideals promo lets borrowers who will apply and have their car or home loan approved before October 15, 2025, and booked by October 31, 2025 will enjoy exclusive rewards, competitive loan rates, and so much more: 

  • Waived fees of up to PHP100,000 on both home and car loan applications. This includes mortgage registration fees, documentary stamp tax, and notarial fees. 
  • Low interest rates, starting at 8.70% interest rate per annum (p.a.) for car loans and 6.50% interest rate p.a. for home loans with a minimum term of three years. 
  • Free car insurance from AXA Philippines for the first year on car loans.  


Clients can conveniently apply online through Metrobank's website or visit the nearest Metrobank branch.  

By rolling out these offers ahead of the traditional holiday rush, Metrobank brings the joy of the season earlier than expected.

Beko Philippines Hits Sustainability Milestone: 100% Plastic Waste Recovered and Diverted in 2024 with PCX Markets

 

Convenience often comes at an environmental cost, with plastic waste posing as a pressing global issue. Every choice we make, from the products we buy to the packaging they come in, affects our planet's overall health.

Beko, from Europe’s No. 1 Large Home Appliance company, goes beyond the products it creates. The drive for sustainability is ever consistent to help the community live a healthier and greener life. In fact, Beko Philippines is well on its way to creating a sustainable future through its partnership with PCX Markets, a global plastic responsibility platform that provides solutions to help companies achieve their sustainability goals.



The partnership, which began in 2023, has already yielded impressive results. In 2024, Beko Philippines achieved 100% recovery and diversion of its plastic footprint, going beyond the requirements of the country's Extended Producer Responsibility law. This landmark achievement involved the diversion of over 39,000 kg of plastic waste from nature—the equivalent of 13 million 3-gram plastic sachets.

Beko Philippines has actively supported a lineup of projects with PCX Markets’ vetted partners that not only address plastic waste but also empower local communities:

Top Lun Project: Giving Plastics a Second Life

Through the Top Lun partnership, 33,000 kg of rigid HDPE (high-density polyethylene) plastics, commonly found in plastic bottle caps sourced from junk shops and informal waste pickers, were successfully recycled into flakes and then sold to companies for use in various products.

 

Holcim-Geocycle Project: Fueling Up Energy

Beko also backed the Holcim-Geocycle initiative, fostering collaborations with local government units and waste aggregators. This project facilitated the sourcing of post-consumer plastic waste, which was then transported to Holcim's cement facilities and served as an alternative fuel source.

 

The initiative supports Holcim’s efforts to cut dependence on imported fossil fuels and raw materials, while promoting sustainable waste management. The project successfully diverted 4,000 kg of flexible plastics from the environment.

 

Aling Tindera Project: Building a Sustainable Community

The Aling Tindera waste-to-cash initiative empowers women micro-entrepreneurs to drive grassroots sustainability. These entrepreneurs collect or purchase flexible plastics from their local communities to be purchased by the partners and delivered to a co-processing facility, where it is used as alternative fuel in a licensed waste-to-energy plant.

 

More than helping the sustainability efforts, this initiative also helped the women provide for their families. This program gave around ₱7,500 in incremental income to these women and their communities. There was an increase of 37% in average monthly income compared to the initial project baseline last year.

 

"At Beko, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Our products are designed to deliver comfort and convenience to every Filipino home, while also caring for the planet,” said Mr. Alper Yildirim, Country Director of Beko Philippines. “We are proud of our recent collaboration with PCX Markets, turning plastic waste into valuable opportunities for the environment and the community. We are committed to magnifying our efforts, and we hope this inspires our customers to take pride in choosing Beko as well as for other organizations to be inspired with their own sustainability initiatives," he added.

With Beko, each thoughtful action and appliance paves the way towards a more sustainable world.

Kaspersky’s eSIM Store Takes APAC Travel to New Heights

 Global cybersecurity company spots e-SIM-related phishing and scams mimicking top telco companies in the region

 

Asia Pacific’s (APAC) travel sector is bouncing back. After the impact of the pandemic more than six years ago, this industry is accelerating towards full recovery, and so is the need for smart, secure connectivity. With this, global cybersecurity and digital privacy company, Kaspersky, is stepping in with an innovation that makes international travel even smoother.

 

In 2024, the region welcomed over 316 million international visitors, narrowing the gap with pre-pandemic levels to just 13%, compared to a steep 74% drop in 2022. APAC’s international arrival volume is also projected to climb from 619 million in 2024 to 762 million by 2026, signaling a full return to pre-pandemic demand while outbound travel from APAC is expected to surge by 20–25% this year.

 

To provide secure connectivity on the go, Kaspersky unveils the Kaspersky eSIM Store, a convenient new solution that lets travelers install digital SIMs on their mobile devices instantly. With just a few taps, users can select not only country-specific plan but also region-specific and global plans, and go online without the hassle of swapping physical SIM cards. It’s a fast, secure, and borderless way to stay connected, especially for today’s mobile-first, on-the-move generation.

 

The rise of travel eSIMs is especially pronounced in APAC, which now represents over 56% of the global market and generated around USD 11.5 million in revenue in 2024. Industry forecasts show continued momentum, with annual growth rates between 11% and 21% expected in the coming years.

 

Riding on the travel wave are cybercriminals who are piggybacking on the eSIM growth in the region. Researchers from Kaspersky spotted phishing pages and scams mimicking top telecommunication companies in the region including – Singtel, Smart, and Telstra.

 

An example of an eSIM scam in Japan

 

Entering sensitive data like phone number on a phishing site can expose user to serious security and financial risks. Cybercriminals can use the information user provides to access their financial accounts or crypto wallets, especially if they also obtain login credentials or security questions.

“As travel booms across the region, digital connectivity must evolve just as fast,” said Chee Choon Hong, Head of Consumer Channel for APAC at Kaspersky. “The Kaspersky eSIM Store is our response to that. With eSIM adoption accelerating and more travelers demanding instant, reliable data access wherever they go, our solution empowers them with a secure and stress-free experience. It’s exactly what APAC’s vibrant travel economy needs.”

Benefits of Kaspersky e-SIM store

The Kaspersky eSIM Store isn’t just a digital convenience, it’s a smarter way to stay connected while traveling. Designed for ease, speed, and flexibility, it solves common travel pain points and empowers users to manage mobile connectivity on their terms.

 

· Value: Travelers can access affordable internet plans without worrying about roaming fees or hidden charges. With coverage in over 150 countries and regions, the service provides access to eSIM data plans from local telecom operators all over the world, no matter where your journey takes you, from urban cities to remote destinations.

· Security and flexibility: Installation is seamless. Users simply purchase a plan, follow intuitive on-screen steps, and activate the eSIM in minutes. No physical SIM card, no waiting in lines, and in many cases, no need to present an ID or passport, making it ideal for international trips and spontaneous getaways.

· Eco-friendly: Sustainability is also built in. By eliminating plastic SIM cards and packaging, the Kaspersky eSIM Store supports eco-friendly travel. And with top-up options available anytime, travelers can extend their data on the go, without changing SIMs or losing connectivity.

 

Kaspersky eSIM Store is now available on the official website https://kasperskyesimstore.com/, and as a mobile app in App Store and Google Play.

What Wednesday Addams Teaches Us About True Friendship

 Expect more twists and turns (and life lessons!) with hit mystery-thriller Wednesday Season 2 now on Netflix, best streamed with PLDT Home Fiber Netflix Plan 1599!

Have you ever noticed how the shows we stream often reflect the way we live? Whether you're deep into a solo binge-watch or sharing gasp-worthy moments with family on the couch, the best stories stick with us. And with the seamless connection of PLDT Home Fiber, these cinematic worlds come to life without interruption, making it even easier to find powerful life lessons from our favorite shows. It shouldn’t be surprising then that Netflix’s hit series Wednesday offers more than thrills and mystery – it’s packed with insights that resonate with both ourselves and the people around us.

 

You see, Nevermore Academy might be full of monsters and mayhem, but it also gave us one of the most unexpected – and heartwarming – friendships on TV: Wednesday Addams and werewolf Enid Sinclair. While one is a macabre mystery-solver and the other a colorful, social butterfly, their dynamic throughout the first season revealed a surprising amount about what it truly means to be a friend. Here are the five most important friendship lessons you can pick up from Wednesday and Enid:

 

  1. Opposites attract – and make the best duo

You don't have to be two peas in a pod or birds of a feather to be best friends. Sometimes, it’s the differences that make a bond even stronger.

 

Wednesday's cynicism was often balanced by Enid's unwavering optimism, and Enid's social skills occasionally dragged Wednesday into situations that (begrudgingly) would help her grow. Their contrasting personalities, perfectly showcased in their dorm room, proved that embracing each other’s uniqueness can lead into a deeper, more vibrant connection.

 

  1. Patience pays off (especially with a Wednesday-type friend)

Not all friendships spark instantly – some take time, effort, and a whole lot of patience. 

 

Enid faced numerous eyerolls, sarcastic remarks, and flat-out rejections from Wednesday, yet she never gave up. Her steady kindness and genuine desire to connect eventually chipped away at Wednesday's notoriously thick walls, proving that true friendship is often a marathon, not a sprint.

3. Great besties challenge each other to grow

The best friends aren't just "yes-men." They're also the ones who aren't afraid to call you out when needed and push you to become a better version of yourself.

 

Enid wasn't afraid to tell Wednesday when she was being selfish or manipulative. In turn, Wednesday's independent spirit subtly pushed Enid to stand up for herself, especially when dealing with her mother's expectations. Growth happens when someone genuinely cares enough to challenge you – and sticks around to see you through it.

 

4. Loyalty trumps (almost) everything

When push comes to shove, true friends show up. While Wednesday might express her affection in unconventional ways (like, you know, not smiling), she fiercely protected Enid (and Eugene!). 

Enid, for her part, stood by Wednesday through monster hunts, murder mysteries, and near-death experiences. Their unwavering support for each other, even in the face of danger, is a testament to the power of loyalty in any lasting friendship.

 

5. Just one hug can speak volumes (especially from a friend like Wednesday)

Sometimes, the simplest gestures are the most powerful, especially if they’re from someone you least expect.

 

After an entire (first) season of Wednesday avoiding physical contact and emotional expression – specifically, Enid’s attempts at hugging – Wednesday’s final, unprompted hug with Enid was a monumental moment. It symbolized the depth of their bond, the trust they had built, and how even the most emotionally reserved person can find comfort and connection with the right friend. It was a moment that made fans everywhere collectively swoon – and cry!

 

The best part about Enid and Wednesday’s friendship? There’s definitely more to come, with Wednesday Season 2 now on Netflix. If you’re not yet subscribed to Netflix, the best way to get it is with PLDT Home’s Fiber Netflix Plans.

How Filipino Households Are Navigating Rising Grocery Prices

 Filipino households are rethinking the way they shop for groceries, finding smarter, more cost-conscious ways to stock their pantries.

Recent data from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reveals that while overall food inflation saw a decrease, headline inflation in the Philippines still grew slightly to 1.4% in June 2025. Despite this low overall inflation compared to other Southeast Asian countries, the cost of essential grocery items like canned goods and cooking oil remains elevated. In fact, prices for some basic commodities have seen hikes of over 20% in recent years, putting significant pressure on everyday household budgets.

Buying Smarter, Not Less

The economic climate has triggered subtle but significant behavioral changes in how Filipino households spend. Instead of buying less, many are prioritizing value and restructuring how they purchase them.

Filipino consumers are becoming more intentional, carefully weighing necessity, cost-efficiency, and long-term benefit before making purchases. This shift reflects a broader, sulit mindset where quality and practicality often outweigh brand loyalty or impulse buying.

This behavior is especially evident in grocery shopping. Consumers are increasingly buying in bulk not just to save on unit costs, but also to reduce the frequency of shopping trips and to secure better deals. 

The Digital Grocery Game

Another major shift is happening behind screens. As Filipino households rethink their purchasing habits, many are also changing where they shop, with grocery buying becoming increasingly digital. While digital grocery adoption surged during the pandemic out of necessity, it has remained strong post-lockdown. Today, digital grocery shopping has evolved into a convenient, value-driven habit for many Filipinos. 

Several enablers can help point to why digital grocery shopping continues to thrive. As of last year, over 75% of Filipinos own smartphones. Having a mobile-savvy population also means that Filipinos – especially those belonging to the younger generations – are increasingly comfortable with application usage and digital transactions. At the same time, continued improvements in delivery reliability, platform safeguards, and payment security have increased trust in online transactions, helping erase early skepticism around e-grocery fulfillment. 

Digital platforms have also transformed how people shop. Consumers now compare prices across multiple apps, looking for the best price per unit, checking bundle deals, and strategically stacking vouchers or coins. 

On digital platforms, groceries are no longer limited to dry goods and canned items as apps like Lazada now deliver fresh produce, frozen meat, dairy, and specialty items straight to consumers’ doorsteps. Lazada also provides consumers with easier access to supermarket items, bridging traditional retail with digital convenience. 

Tipid Tactics on the Rise

As more Filipinos embrace the convenience of digital grocery shopping, their behaviors within these platforms are also evolving. From simple online transactions, consumers have moved towards strategic, savings-focused habits. 

At the heart of this grocery evolution is the rise of tipid solutions such as innovative mechanics and promotions designed to help shoppers save without sacrificing quality. Digital platforms like Lazada’s grocery channel, LazMart, have responded to these pain points by offering “buy more, save more” deals that maximize savings, curating bundles that group high-frequency items into cost-efficient packs, and providing loyalty vouchers and stackable promos that reward regular purchases and help users make the most of every Peso. Ongoing deals such as discounts of up to 30% off on mother and baby essentials, “Buy 8, Get 8” grocery offers, and weekly promos with 10% of more in savings make LazMart a go-to online destination for practical, everyday value. 

These tactics are proving effective in attracting price-sensitive shoppers and fostering brand loyalty in a landscape where consumers are always on the hunt for the best value.

“LazMart was built to make online grocery shopping simpler for Filipinos,” says Emil Sobremonte, Lazada Philippines' Head of Retail. “We empower them to optimize budgets with stackable discounts, free shipping, and a wide assortment of high-demand and niche products, all delivered in one go.”


A Future That’s Cost-Effective and Digital is Here to Stay

What began as a pandemic-driven pivot has become a permanent mindset. Even as inflation shows signs of easing in the months ahead, experts agree that Filipinos’ value-first approach to spending is here to stay. More than just affordability, shoppers today demand convenience, price transparency, and smarter ways to stretch every Peso. 

This shift has redefined what grocery shopping looks like. As the experience becomes even more digital, platforms that empower consumers to evaluate, plan, and save will continue to shape the future of retail in the country. 

For LazMart, this means embracing its role as a digital grocery ally built for budget-savvy living. With accessible tools, curated value bundles, and customer-first features, it’s helping create a new standard of smart, digital grocery shopping that fits not only with today’s economy, but in the future as well.

SB19 Bites into Pinoy Flavor as the Newest Mang Juan Ambassadors

 Everyday we try to find that extra burst of energy to push through. Sometimes, it’s those unexpected “Huwow” moments that give you the boost you didn’t know you needed.

Mang Juan, known for its asim-anghang taste and Pinoy-sarap flavors, is turning up the excitement with its newest endorsers, P-pop sensation SB19, whose electrifying performances and fun-loving personalities perfectly embody the snack brand’s ‘Huwow’ energy.

 

“We’re glad to know that Mang Juan is a proudly Filipino brand that represents the youthful Pinoy spirit—full of energy and passion that shines through despite any hardship,” said Pablo, who’s looking forward to enjoying both new and classic Mang Juan flavors. “It’ll level up our snack time as we continue to tour and perform.”


SB19 Enjoys Mang Juan

 

Whether they’re rehearsing or on the move, Mang Juan has become SB19’s go-to bite to stay energized despite their hectic schedules. “Nakakapagod ang training at rehearsals namin, pero worth it para sa mga A’TIN,” said Stell. “That’s why it’s nice to have a snack like Mang Juan that gives us that energy boost! Nakakawala talaga ng pagod, and it’s motivating too.”

 

Ken also emphasized the importance of supporting local wherever they go. “As a group that proudly represents Filipino talent, we always do our best to support local brands like Mang Juan. It tastes great and brings back flavors we all grew up loving,” he said.

 

“Huwow” Moments with SB19 and Mang Juan

“We don’t really expect results immediately, but our fans never fail to amaze us. Their power and support always make us say, ‘Huwow!’” shared Josh. He also reflected on a recent milestone that their fandom, A’TIN, made possible: “We know we have loyal supporters, but we didn’t expect the reach we have now. Our shows are selling out so fast—like Day 1 of our Simula at Wakas World Tour Kickoff at the Philippine Arena, which sold out in less than seven hours!”

 

Beyond live performances, SB19 continues to shine on the charts. Justin expressed his amazement at their expanding reach: “Even when we check the rankings, we’re like, ‘Huwow!’ tracks from our Simula at Wakas EP are not only charting locally, but also making it onto international charts, even Billboard!”

 

Despite the massive success they experience, SB19 always makes sure to have time to sit back, relax, and enjoy delicious Mang Juan snacks with their favorite flavors – Chicharron ni Mang Juan Sukang Paombong, Espesyal Suka’t Sili, Chik’n Skin ni Mang Juan, Kropek ni Mang Juan Spicy Pusit and Kropek ni Mang Juan Sweet Chili Hipon.
