“Nice Card, Nice Rewards” with GoTyme Bank

Every shopping experience begins with a motivational “Treat yourself!” to hype us up for a round of spending. But the excitement tends to be short-lived when our self-spoiling activity makes a dent in our bank accounts. From launching a 5% p.a. base savings interest rate that allows clients to Go Save faster without any limits or conditions, the Gokongwei Group’s GoTyme Bank offers next-level banking by making guilty shopping a thing of the distant past with Go Shop—a permanent feature of the bank that allows you to earn Go Rewards points when you shop using your GoTyme Bank Visa Debit Card, a sleek and sexy card that allows you to shop—and earn points for it.

Recently, GoTyme Bank launched “Nice Card, Nice Rewards”, a campaign that highlights the endless possibilities you can have with your GoTyme Bank Visa debit card.

“We live in a highly globalized economy defined by advancements in technology, business, and banking. Consumers around the globe have turned to quick and easy methods of doing everyday transactions,” Co-CEO Albert Tinio stresses. “With Go Shop, you can earn, enjoy and share special rewards with your family and loved ones anytime you want. Here at GoTyme Bank, we bring together the convenience of debit cards and the benefits of reward points into one sleek and stylish card.”

Points Wherever. Unlike other cards that only offer niche rewards, GoTyme Bank made sure that you get rewarded for every swipe or tap of your GoTyme Bank Visa debit card. In a country where rewards are mostly offered by credit cards, GoTyme Bank’s debit card is one of the very few that offers rewards for every purchase. Both local and international transactions will allow you to earn Go Rewards points - making it one of the best debit cards in the country.

Points Boosted. From huge rewards to huge returns, GoTyme Bank wants to make sure your hard-earned money is well-spent. With 3x Go Rewards points with every purchase from partner merchants like Robinsons Supermarket, The Marketplace, True Value, and Toys R Us, each cent becomes worth spending because you know you’ll be getting a lot back.

It was also announced that Caltex joined as a partner merchant - giving drivers a more rewarding drive when they gas up. Now, GoTyme Bank account holders can also enjoy up to 2x the points for every Php 300 when they gas up and pay using GoTyme Bank. 

Points to Cash. On a final note, ever wonder how to enjoy your Go Rewards points? With GoTyme Bank, earning and claiming your rewards become equally exciting: redeem your Go Rewards points as cash, which will be debited directly to your GoTyme Bank Everyday Account, straight on the app, or spend your Go Rewards points in any of the GoTyme Bank partner merchants! To maximize your purchasing power, you may choose to transfer the cash proceeds from your Go Rewards points redemption from your GoTyme Bank Everyday Account to your Go Save Account and earn 5% p.a. interest with it, which you can use in the future to pay bills or save for big purchases. Also, because the points that you earned will never expire, it becomes possible to reuse money you already spent and purchase the things you’ve only been dreaming about—like a cool gadget, nifty appliance, or a luxury piece you’ve always wanted to have.

GoTyme Bank CEO Nate Clarke shares, “This card doesn’t just bring good looks, this card also delivers on substance. And in particular, it delivers rewards and travel. Usually, debit cards don’t have rewards. At GoTyme Bank, that’s not the case. Our partnership with Go Rewards makes our Visa debit card the most rewarding in the market.”

#LovethePhilippines, Philippines’ Love Letter to the World

On the celebration of the golden year of the Department of Tourism (DOT), President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., together with Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco and other officials, led the unveiling of the country’s enhanced tourism campaign “Love the Philippines” as the highlight of the Department’s 50th founding year celebration at the iconic Manila Hotel, Tuesday (June 27)

Proudly presenting “Love the Philippines” to a crowd composed of former DOT chiefs, officials and employees of the Department's central and regional offices, heads of government agencies including Cabinet Secretaries, house representatives, tourism stakeholders, and the media, Secretary Frasco described the enhanced campaign as timely for the DOT’s golden anniversary celebration.

“As we cap the last fifty years of the DOT and welcome this new era of tourism for the Philippines, it is but right that we welcome this opportunity to reintroduce the Philippines to the world,” Secretary Frasco said.

“Love the Philippines goes to the very heart of every single Filipino with the distinct grace and hospitality with which we welcome every guest that comes to our shores, our communities, and our homes. Love the Philippines is a recognition of our natural assets, our long and storied history, our rich culture and diversity,” she said while noting that there is so much more to the country than “the fun and adventure” that has so far been articulated.

“The Philippines is a powerhouse of mega biodiversity, being only one of 18 mega biodiverse countries in the world, a deep well of culture and history, a profound burst and taste of flavor and gastronomy, a tapestry of indigenous peoples and creative communities by whose work of their hands have safeguarded the dignity and integrity of the Filipino identity. This is who we are. These complexities and nuances of the Philippines have yet to be fully articulated to the world for indeed, the story of the Filipino has yet to be fully told, and we shall tell that story by telling them the story of love. Love the Philippines,” Secretary Frasco said.

PBBM’s unequivocal support

Gracing the milestone event for Philippine tourism, President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. expressed his utmost support for "Love the Philippines", saying that the enhanced tourism campaign “springs from the genuine love that you, me, and all of us have for the Philippines.”

“And what better way to express that love than by directly incorporating it into our country’s newest tourism campaign slogan, Love the Philippines. This new branding which we unveil today will serve as our guidepost for the Philippine tourism industry moving forward. Allow me then to express my sincerest appreciation to Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco and for the DOT team, because aside from the promotion of the country’s tourist destinations, the campaign that you have conceptualized aims to enhance the overall experience of every travel, including in that list of targets is to promote regional products, build more infrastructure for the ease of travel, and champion green movements, among others,” the President enthused.

Adjusting to the post-pandemic tourism landscape and changing trends

With the everchanging global tourism landscape post-pandemic, and the growing desire of travelers for more immersive experiences in their travels, the DOT viewed the enhanced brand as a timely response to the demands of the industry.

In a recent survey conducted by the United Nations World Travel Organization (UNWTO) among its member countries, market repositioning, and rebranding strategies are among the priorities identified after the pandemic based on its Survey Findings on Member Priorities for UNWTO program of work 2024-2025.

With an enhanced tourism campaign in tow, the DOT’s focus now is to show more of what there is to “Love the Philippines” as it works towards realizing President Marcos, Jr.’s vision for the country to become a tourism powerhouse in Asia.

“Indeed, if we are to compete with our neighbors in our effort as well to partner with them for Asia to become a powerhouse tourism region in the world, the time has come for us to add to the value proposition of the Philippines by telling the world how much more we have to offer,” Secretary Frasco said.

“We have multiple facets of tourism destinations that present a golden opportunity for we have only scratched the surface thus far,” she added.

Rosy prospects for Philippine tourism

According to Secretary Frasco, the world has “the world has noticed that there is so much to love about the Philippines.”

This, is as the Philippines has recorded 2,641,993 visitors from January 1 to June 26, 2023, and is close to breaching the 2.65 million arrivals it recorded for 2022.

Further, the tourism sector is regarded as a stalwart regarding its contribution to gross domestic product (GDP). According to the 2022 Philippine Tourism Satellite Accounts (PTSA) 2022, the Tourism Direct Gross Value Added (TDGVA) share of the sector to the Philippine economy, as measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), was estimated at 6.2 percent and amounted to PHP 1.38 trillion in 2022.

The Philippines is also seeing a boost in tourism-related enterprise employment, with 5.35 million estimated tourism employment last year.

As she rallied their support for the DOT’s vision of showcasing the best of the Philippines to the world under the Marcos administration, the Secretary said: “As we usher in this golden era for tourism, for our fellow Filipinos, for our beautiful country, let us find it in our hearts to have that burning pride of place for the Philippines, to Love the Philippines, to usher us into the continued recovery and vigorous comeback of the Philippines to the world.” 

Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse is back on Airbnb – but this time, Ken’s hosting

This summer, it’s Ken’s turn to take hosting for a spin. That’s right – Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse is back by popular demand on Airbnb – with a twist.

While everyone’s favorite doll makes her live-action film debut in BARBIE, Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) is handing over the keys and hosting an overnight stay in the newly renovated and iconic Malibu DreamHouse.

Barbie is everything, and he’s always been “Just Ken” - until now! Ken has revamped part of Barbie’s Malibu DreamHouse with everything he loves (rollerblading, anyone?). And though guests can clearly see his, ahem, Ken-ergy, Barbie’s signature pink remains ever-present throughout the life-size, toy-inspired home, as she’s done her own redecorating since the last time the Malibu DreamHouse was available for guests.

“We all have dreams, and Barbie is lucky enough to have a house full of them,” said Ken. “But now, it’s my turn, and I can’t wait to host guests inside these one-of-a-kind – dare I say, one-of-a-Ken? – digs.”

Ken is adding hosting to one of his passions in celebration of the release of the highly anticipated BARBIE film, directed by Greta Gerwig, written by Gerwig & Noah Baumbach, and starring Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrara, Kate McKinnnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell.

About the stay

Located in sunny Malibu, the oceanfront mansion features panoramic views and serves as the perfect backdrop for Ken’s picture-plastic paradise. Fans will be able to request to book Ken’s bedroom in the Malibu DreamHouse for two individual one-night stays** for up to two guests each on July 21 and July 22, 2023. All stays will be free of charge – because Ken couldn’t figure out how to put a price on Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse – after all, Ken’s thing is beach, not math!

While in the DreamHouse, guests will have the opportunity to live in technicolor by:

• Taking a spin through Ken’s awesome wardrobe to find their best beach fit. Look out Barbie, Ken’s got quite the closet too!
• Channeling their inner cowboy and learning a line dance or two on Ken’s outdoor disco dance floor or performing a sunset serenade on Ken’s guitar
• Challenging their fellow guests to a “beach off” with plenty of sunbathing and chillaxing by the infinity pool
• Taking home a piece of the Kendom with their very own set of yellow-and-pink Impala rollerblades and surfboards 

Innovation at any Cost

A global annual survey of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) by Lenovo reveals that despite economic headwinds and IT budget challenges, the world’s CIOs are optimistic about the capacity of technology to deliver value to their organizations. Despite their confidence, the risks are real: 83% are concerned about insufficient finances to adequately invest in innovation and digital transformation, and nearly half (48%) are "extremely" or "very" concerned.

The second edition of the annual Lenovo Global Study of CIOs found that CIOs (48%) are also more likely to prioritize innovation in new technologies over-optimizing their current tech stack. The stakes are high, with 60% of CIOs reporting that a freeze in investment to innovation would impact their business at once or within weeks across business automation, business model transformation, data analytics, and environment, social, and governance initiatives. Adding to this, 33% of CIOs do not feel their organization is sufficiently resilient.

According to Michael Ngan, Country General Manager of Lenovo Philippines, the role of the CIO has become extremely demanding. “As the technology landscape becomes more complex, it becomes increasingly challenging for CIOs to implement digital transformation across the organization and prioritize initiatives and investments that yield positive business results,” he shared.

It comes as no surprise that CIOs are turning towards “as a Service" (aaS) offerings for their tech stacks. Deploying aaS solutions simplifies and optimizes everything, enabling IT leaders to focus on innovation and be more agile in responding to their organizations’ changing needs. A pay-as-you-go consumption model – from procurement to deployment and management of infrastructure to hardware and licensing – empowers CIOs and IT teams to focus on innovation or more strategic imperatives, a benefit that most CIOs are aware of. 

The vast majority (92%) of CIOs are considering adding new aaS solutions to their tech stacks over the next two years. This is on the back of 71% of CIOs who said between 11% and 50% of their IT is currently delivered on an aaS basis. Software aaS, infrastructure aaS, and device aaS are cited by more than half of CIOs as being much or somewhat more used than in the previous year.

Organic and AI opportunities for IT leaders

The analysis revealed two important priorities. The first is the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) as mainstream IT goals, which is boosting innovation ambitions. The second category is people-related opportunities, which are important for a company's success because attracting and maintaining talent is crucial.

AI/ML has quickly become an urgent priority for CIOs as they strive to stay up to date with the rapid pace of technological progress. No less than 43% feel “urgent pressure” to address AI/ML as a priority, only slightly behind cybersecurity (51%). As many as three in five IT leaders also have experienced pressure to further optimize their companies’ operations. 

Talent-related responsibilities including recruitment and retention (59%), managing a remote workforce (59%), managing global teams (58%), and diversity, equity, and inclusion (55%) remain significant challenges for CIOs as they expand their role to digitize operations across departments.

Breakfast moments tend to get rushed or even neglected with the return of face-to-face work and classes. That’s why on National Cheese Day, Eden brings breakfast back to Filipinos by preparing easy, creamy, and delicious dishes that the family can enjoy together while sharing lasting love and joy throughout the day.

With simple yet special meals made with love and creamy Eden cheese, the brand encourages moms and families to spend special breakfast moments together again, so that they can begin their day in an exceptional way.

In addition, Chef Ylyt Frixiah Manaig shared her own take on the trendy, Egg Drop Sandwich, showcasing how creating special breakfast doesn’t need to take time – sometimes all you need is 10 minutes. You can check out more Eden recipes at TwistAndMake.com/Eden

Experience the Ultimate Family Bonding at F1 Hotel Manila's Hotpot Buffet

Last Friday, my family and I had the pleasure of indulging in a culinary extravaganza at F1 Hotel Manila. Let me just say, it was a celebration worth remembering! 

The occasion? My husband's post-birthday dinner, is a perfect excuse for our little family to come together and dine like there's no tomorrow. And boy, did F1 Hotel Manila deliver!

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Hotpot Buffet. With three enticing soup options to choose from – the aromatic laksa, comforting chicken broth, and tangy tom yum – our taste buds were in for a treat. Speaking of laksa, it was a revelation! Bursting with rich, creamy flavors, I couldn't resist going back for seconds, thirds, and yes, even six bowls. Don't worry, I've got no regrets when it comes to good food!

From delectable chicken balls to succulent lobster balls and delicate fish tofu, F1 Hotel Manila left no stone unturned in providing a diverse selection of flavors. And for all the meat lovers out there, the tender cuts of pork were simply divine. To balance out the feast, a colorful assortment of fresh veggies was also on offer, ensuring a wholesome and satisfying meal for the entire family.

But it wasn't just the food that impressed us. The staff at F1 Hotel Manila were attentive, going above and beyond to make our dining experience unforgettable. From their warm welcome to their prompt service, they made us feel like true VIPs. As a busy mom, having a team of dedicated professionals taking care of the details allowed me to relax and fully immerse myself in the joyous atmosphere.

As the rain poured outside, creating a cozy ambiance, our family bonded over shared laughter, heartfelt conversations, and the pleasure of discovering new flavors together. It's in these moments that you realize the true value of family time. F1 Hotel Manila provided the perfect backdrop for us to connect, celebrate, and simply enjoy each other's company.

Review of Sweet Tooth in BFRV, Las Pinas

A week ago, we ended up checking this little nook inside BFRV, Las Pinas. It's located along BFRV Drive and the yellow signage outside makes it pretty hard to miss. 

My Mom would love the interior because it's yellow. It's very cozy and homey. It's also not overly decorated so it's not hard on the eyes. 

The drinks are very aesthetic. If you want something IG-worthy or reel-worthy, this is definitely it. They also did not scrimp on the ingredients and you get more for your money. 

Thankfully, the taste was also on point. You can even ask to lessen the sweetness which I did for my son's drink since he's only three and it was 9pm already. 

I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to have something sweet and good. The milk tea, the coffee, the smoothie, and the overall drinks were just a joy to have. Definitely for the sweet tooth. 

For those who don't like sweets, don't fret. They also have soda drinks that were really good to have. They also offer snacks so I'd say this is perfect for merienda, brunch, and late-night runs.
