    Valentine’s Celebration Ideas to Make Everyone Feel Extra Special

    MANILA, FEBRUARY 11, 2022 — It’s that time of year once again when love is in the air. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, one thing’s for sure—Valentine’s Day is always a wonderful opportunity to express your affection and appreciation towards your loved ones. Here are some ways you can share the love:

    Nurture and practice self-love

    You’ve probably heard the saying “If you don’t love yourself, how will you love someone else?” many times, and yet self-love is still often overlooked.  So why not use Valentine’s as a reason to also focus and care for yourself? There are plenty of things you can do to cultivate self-love. Write a love letter to yourself, a gratitude list to be reminded of things in your life that bring you joy. Spend a day of self-care by pampering yourself at home or spoiling yourself at your favorite salon or spa.  Celebrate your achievements and indulge yourself with something you’ve wanted for a long time without breaking the bank. Especially with Payday coming soon, reward yourself for your hard work at Shopee’s Payday Sale on February 15. Checkout with ShopeePay to enjoy all-day free shipping at  ₱0 min spend, 15% cashback vouchers, up to 50% bills cashback, and more!

    Enjoy quality time with your significant other

    Spending time with the person you love can help strengthen the relationship. Schedule the ultimate romantic getaway experience with your loved one and book your hotel with ShopeePay. This Payday Sale, you can get an additional 30% cashback on all your hotel bookings, including EstacioUno Boracay, Mithi Resort and Spa Bohol, and White Breeze Palawan.

    For couples who are ultimate foodies, go on a food trip or order takeout for movie night. To get greater savings, you can scan to pay with ShopeePay to receive 20% cashback at selected partner merchants.

    Show appreciation to your family and friends

    Do you have loved ones who are far away from you? Distance is not a problem when you want to express your love. With ShopeePay’s free transfers, you can conveniently send money and personalize your transfer with a Valentine’s Day themed virtual card that you can send to your loved ones’ ShopeePay Wallet or bank account. They’ll surely be delighted with the extra funds that come with your gesture of appreciation.

    Remember that communication is key, especially if you’re far apart from each other. No matter how busy you are, make sure to give your family and friends a call to catch up. Buy load with ShopeePay and get 10% off, available across all networks or score up to 50% off if you purchase this Payday Sale.

    Pay it forward to the community

    While it’s important that you share the love with people around you, Valentine’s is also an opportunity to show love and give back to the community. Volunteering at charity events is a great way to show your appreciation for others. Volunteer alone or invite your partner and friends to come with you. By doing so, you’ll surely make someone else’s day brighter.

    ShopeePay has made giving back easier and a lot more convenient. Support your beneficiaries of choice by donating to any of ShopeePay’s partner foundations such as UNICEF, For our Farmers PH, Young Focus, World Vision, and Silid Aralan.

  • 2nd phase of DepEd Oplan TAWID announced

    2nd phase of DepEd Oplan TAWID announced

    Envisioned as a student employability program, Oplan TAWID, in partnership with Microsoft and other private industry partners like Alorica, provides relevant industry immersion experience through trainings, certifications, work simulations, career coaching, and hiring opportunities.

    Microsoft Philippines, together with the Department of Education (DepEd), launched the second phase of the DepEd Oplan TAWID — Technology Assisted Work Immersion Delivery — a focused skilling program that aims to provide relevant industry immersion experience and hiring opportunities to graduating DepEd Senior High School (SHS) students.

    By providing training courses on in-demand 21st-century skills, soft skills, digital literacy, and more, the program endeavors to bridge their respective skill sets—aligning them with industry requirements for internship and entry level roles. Moreover, it squarely addresses one of DepEd’s key learning delivery objectives: to liberate students from poverty, more so during this pandemic.

    Alongside Integrating the training activities with the Senior High School curriculum, Oplan TAWID allows for feedback to be given to the DepEd curriculum development team, in order to further improve industry alignment and student readiness capabilities.

    The mounting of DepEd’s Oplan TAWID follows the successful nationwide implementation of the “Building an Impactful Resume and Online Professional Brand” program mounted in May last year — a joint initiative of Microsoft Philippines and the Employers Confederation of the Philippines — where DepEd learners were upskilled on online skilling platforms and 1 million LinkedIn profiles were created.

    Ensuring student readiness in the new digital economy

    Envisioned as a student employability program, various private sector partners in the communications, technology, and BPO space have been tapped for Oplan TAWID, which makes available virtual training courses on mandatory Microsoft classes, a BPO Career Channel Course, a Reading Progress mandatory class, a 21st Century Skills Assessment course, Career Coaching, and Industry Work Immersions, among others, all conducted via Microsoft Teams.

    Furthermore, participants can also take certification exams towards becoming a Microsoft Office Specialist or they may choose instead to take the Cloud Fundamentals Training Path. Additionally, students will also go through intensive reading and communications classes through Microsoft’s Reading Progress application.

    Alorica answers the call to nation building

    As a global leader in customer experience solutions, Alorica is proud to take part in this collective effort among key industry partners — with the aim of addressing the lack of knowledge, skills and work experience amongst students — thus concretizing the company’s commitment towards nation-building and creating a better future for students who are skilled but need deeper BPO industry experience.

    Specifically, through Alorica’s participation, students who enroll in the Teams Classes for Work Immersion will receive open trainings, take part in work immersion projects, and will receive job offer announcements. Moreover, they will also undergo job interviews and possible recruitment at Alorica after passing the exams and English language assessments.

    “We continue to face very challenging times not to mention, a fast changing workplace where keeping abreast of the latest industry trends and developments is not only critical but likewise expected,” says Alorica Talent Acquisition Sourcing and Recruitment Marketing Director, Marvin Vinluan. “Alorica’s participation in Oplan TAWID allows us to directly enable future BPO industry workers — senior high school students — to be employment ready by equipping them with real world exposure and experience, alongside all the skills and knowledge necessary for them to succeed.”

    Since 2018, Alorica has accepted 628 onsite and virtual interns from 80 participating schools across the country, providing them exposure to a real workplace environment specifically in the IT, Human Resources, Administration, Finance and Recruitment departments.

    It is hoped that through Oplan TAWID, the participating students will achieve a higher proficiency in the English language, develop cognitive flexibility, problem solving skills, as well as an enhanced understanding of tasks assigned. Moreover, the promotion of cultural sensitivity towards other cultures and the appreciation of other people.

  • To Push E-Commerce Forward, Developing Tech Leaders is Key

    To Push E-Commerce Forward, Developing Tech Leaders is Key

    Shopee Nurtures Top Tech Talent with the Global Leaders Program.

    MANILA, FEBRUARY 4, 2022 – The continued rise of Southeast Asia’s “digital decade”, now projected to gross around $1 trillion across the region by 2030[1], has increased the demand for tech talents who can drive the digital economy. Amidst this growing digital landscape, Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, continues to seek for the next generation of industry leaders through the Global Leaders Program (GLP).

    The Shopee Global Leaders Program is a 2-year graduate program consisting of four 6-month local and overseas rotations. It is designed for highly enthusiastic and ambitious young Filipino talents who have the potential to boost the country’s e-commerce industry. Final-year students or young professionals with up to two years of working experience can apply for GLP and be part of a structured learning and development program. Participants will also receive dedicated mentorship from Shopee leaders.

    Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “Digital transformation has been an ongoing focus in several key economic sectors. As a result, the demand for tech talent has been on the rise in recent years. Shopee remains committed to developing the next generation of talents in the Philippines through immersive training and mentorship initiatives like the Global Leaders Program. We will continue to come up with various programs that aim to value-add to the Philippines’ digital economy.”

    Now in its 4th year, the program continues to provide its participants with eye-opening experiences and regional exposure

    CJ, a GLP participant, shares why she chose Shopee to grow her career in e-commerce. “Shopee has been taking big strides to enhance the user experience and keep up with the recent changes in the retail market industry. It’s evident that the company is constantly growing bigger, better, and faster—and I want to be part of this growth.”

    Among the many interesting components of the GLP, CJ says what caught her attention the most was the regional experience and exposure it offers. “Working with other teams from various countries is a great opportunity to learn about different cultures and gain new perspectives and insights that can help further the industry in our country.”

    Currently working with Shopee’s Business Development team, CJ’s exposure to different functions allowed her to grow, adapt and learn new things every day. “I am constantly pushed and supported to become a better version of myself every day. The projects that I handle allow me to develop problem-solving, critical thinking, good leadership, and proper time management skills. Seeing how e-commerce campaigns are brought to life, and how people communicate and collaborate to achieve success regularly definitely inspire me to keep growing and eventually contribute.”

    CJ takes pride in being part of the GLP. “If you want to become a future tech leader and be part of the growing digital economy in the Philippines, the Global Leaders Program is the best way to jumpstart your dream. You get the best training and development possible: close mentorship from Senior Management, rotating stints in different markets, and you get to drive crucial projects across the business. The program is truly for those who are willing to push themselves every day to be better and keep growing. I am grateful and humbled to be part of all this.” Are you an aspiring tech leader and interested in learning about the e-commerce industry?

  • Megan Young and Mikael Daez on the joys of me-time moments

    Megan Young and Mikael Daez on the joys of me-time moments

    Maintaining a healthy work-life balance has been a challenge for a lot of people. Keeping up with responsibilities can be stressful and draining so, it’s important to reward oneself with valuable “me-time” moments from time to time. 

    Celebrity couple Megan Young and Mikael Daez can attest to this. Since the lockdown started, they’ve been creating content for their YouTube channel and podcast #BehindRelationshipGoals. Balancing work and their personal lives was not an easy task, but they make sure they find time to enjoy things they love.

    “We look forward to any chance we get to enjoy the company of one another and [our dog] Soba, even if we only get a couple of hours or minutes of free time to do so. We’re even more appreciative of these moments.” Mikael said.

    “Before, we really pushed ourselves to work until madaling araw. But we realized that we need to put a limit and that we have to find time to reward ourselves also,” Megan added. 

    Though they’re limited to staying at home, Mikael and Megan still find ways to reward themselves through simple yet satisfying activities.

    Take a breather 

    Enjoy a cup of Mikael Daez’s holiday spice drink with Swiss Miss Milk Chocolate.

    Being able to take a few moments to appreciate free time after accomplishing so much can feel rewarding. Find a comfortable spot and try to sit back for a few minutes to help clear the mind before jumping into the next task. Performing a simple self-care routine afterwards can be invigorating.

    Play video games 

    One of the things Megan and Mikael enjoy is their shared love for playing video games. Immersing oneself in a virtual world is easily rewarding after spending long hours of work.   

    TV and movie marathon 

    Spice up your favorite oatmeal snack with Swiss Miss Hazelnut.

    One of the best ways to chill after a busy day – a marathon of TV shows and movies while in pajamas and with a cozy cup of hot chocolate. Swiss Miss is one of the celebrity couple’s must-haves when they go on a binge-watching spree. “For the anime lovers out there, we’ve been watching Hunter x Hunter and Demon Slayer. And then, for video game lovers, we watched Witcher. From time to time, there’s the occasional K-Drama or Korean movie that’s nice to watch,” Mikael shared.  

    Experiment in the kitchen 

    Rewarding oneself can be as simple as satisfying cravings, preparing a tasty treat or cooking a favorite dish. For Megan and Mikael, experimenting with Swiss Miss’ various flavors to create delicious snacks and drinks turned out to be a memorable experience. Megan’s favorite was adding Swiss Miss Chocolate Hazelnut to oatmeal. “Swiss Miss really oomph’d up the flavor and the oatmeal experience,” she said. 

    Meanwhile, Mikael added cinnamon, cream, and rock salt to his Swiss Miss drink. “It did add a lot of nuance to the Swiss Miss experience and I was happily surprised,” he said. “We’re not cooks or chefs, so any wins in the kitchen is something we’ll take.”  

    Check out the recipes they made with Swiss Miss here and enjoy a rewarding treat.  

    Spend time with loved ones 

    Celebrity couple Megan Young and Mikael Daez enjoy celebrating their accomplishments with Swiss Miss.

    Celebrating wins and accomplishments is more rewarding when shared with the family and loved ones. There’s a blissful satisfaction in spending free time and catching up with family and friends whether in person or virtually.  

    The new year is an ideal time to grow in one’s personal and professional lives. Megan and Mikael – as individuals and as a couple – plan on taking their content creation to another level. “Definitely 2022 is another year for learning and taking it to a different scale,” Megan said. Mikael also added, “I mean we already started the content production arm of Bonez and Fofo so we might as well go with it 100% and try everything out.” 

    Of course, they won’t forget about taking a break rewarding themselves for their small and big wins.

    Just like the celebrity couple, one can celebrate wins with a sweet reward like Swiss Miss. This chocolate drink comes in Milk Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Marshmallow and Hazelnut flavors. 

    Enjoy Swiss Miss by itself or with the delicious recipes from Swiss Miss Philippine’s Facebook page. Get Swiss Miss from the nearest supermarkets or by shopping online.

  • Smart Hacks To Help You Manage Your Money

    Smart Hacks To Help You Manage Your Money

    Let ShopeePay reward you with zero fees and special deals so you can save more.

    MANILA, FEBRUARY 4, 2022 — With all the household responsibilities, daily expenses, and, of course, shopping budols, saving money can be a challenging task — but it doesn’t have to be.  If you incorporate these simple and easy tips into your lifestyle,  you’ll see that small adjustments will add up and make a big impact on your finances.

    Here are some practical hacks to help you get started:

    Know your spending habits and choose the right platform for your needs.

    For starters, understand your transactions and list down the things you usually spend money on such as groceries, utilities, and payments. Once you have those laid out, choose a financial platform that can complement your spending habits.

    More Filipinos are finding ways to go digital with their errands these days, and e-wallets have been very useful when it comes to both online and offline transactions. When choosing an e-wallet, use one that affords you many benefits. ShopeePay, Shopee’s all-in-one e-wallet, has got you covered in terms of features and perks with no additional transaction charges.   With ShopeePay, users can conveniently send money, buy load, pay bills, and scan to pay at stores nationwide. Activate and verify your ShopeePay account now to experience its countless features and services.

    No transfer fees, more savings

    Online transfers are quick and easy, and have become the norm; but some platforms charge fees that add to your expenses. Avoid paying transfer fees when you send money and make the most out of ShopeePay’s free and real time transfers for a hassle-free experience. This feature allows you to withdraw funds from your ShopeePay wallet to your bank account, or send money to your friends’ and family’s ShopeePay wallet or bank account. When sending money to any Shopee user, you can even personalize your transfers with themed virtual cards, fit for any occasion. “Here’s a gift for my favorite person” and “Dropping by to say I appreciate you!” are just some of the virtual cards you can use to make your transfers extra special! Whichever way you use this feature, transfers made with ShopeePay are free, instant, and available 24/7.

    Transfer fees eat up a portion of your expenses which can be savings or used for necessities. When on a budget, it’s important to see what expenses are avoidable to help you save more. With ShopeePay, there’s no need to worry about any added fees when you need to transfer money. Plus, no need to stand in line at the bank for your cash transfers, so you get to save both time and money!

    Take advantage of discounts and cashback promos when paying utilities.

    On a monthly basis, we have expenses for water, electricity, load, internet, and more that we need to pay regularly. With these bills going up to thousands of pesos, it’s best to take advantage of whatever promos we can to lessen our expenses.

    When you pay your bills online with ShopeePay, you can get up to 10% off on load across all networks and up to 25% cashback on your monthly bills from over 60 billers from partners such as Meralco, Maynilad, PLDT, Globe, Smart, Converge, and more.

    Go cashless when going out to stick to your budget and score deals.

    Another great tip for sticking to your budget is to only cash in your e-wallet with the amount you’ve set aside for expenses. Especially when going out to run errands, this lets you stay focused only on the things you need to purchase or pay for. To help you with this, ShopeePay offers free cash ins via InstaPay, where you can get up to ₱25 cashback on your InstaPay fee.

    When shopping for essentials or favorite finds, make sure to check out discounted deals exclusively for ShopeePay. Browse the Shopee app daily to avail of ₱1 Deals on essentials and food via ShopeePay Near Me, and redeem your vouchers when you scan-to-pay with ShopeePay at partner merchants nationwide. Stay updated on the latest ShopeePay promos at https://shopee.ph/m/shopee-pay.
