And among the thousands of members who earned and converted their points to raffle entries, Janne Borcena is one of the three winners of the #GetGoEscapeToPalawan promo.

    The 28-year-old software engineer shared that taking home the prize meant she could finally fulfill her longtime promise to her loving parents. “Matagal ko na gusto dalhin ang magulang ko sa Palawan. Kaya naman sobrang saya ko na makakasama ko sila sa vacation na ito.”

    For three days, the Borcenas experienced the best island life and spent their hours exploring their own paradise and having fun under the sun. Janne shared, “Bamboo Islands is really amazing. Ang sarap ng feeling na pagkakita mo dito parang ayaw mo na umalis. Ang dami ring activities na magagawa dito, na-try namin mag-snorkeling and island hopping.”

    She adds, “Halos lahat sa amin dito first time to go to Palawan and I feel blessed that I could be a part of making their dream a reality. We had so much fun every second of our stay and I am very glad to take these wonderful people into this great escape.”

  • Infographic: The Dangers of Mismatched Tires

    Infographic: The Dangers of Mismatched Tires

    Of all the dozens of parts that make up your car, there is arguably none more important than the tires that are fitted. These round rubber objects keep your car moving smoothly along the ground, so if something happens that impedes this smooth movement, your safety is going to be compromised.

    This could occur if your tires are mismatched, meaning that there is a notable inconsistency in one or more tires compared to the rest. If you have a tire that is a different size, tread pattern, manufacturer or seasonality from the others that are fitted, this creates a mismatch and potentially jeopardizes the safe driving of the vehicle.

    Another possible cause of mismatching is a difference in tread depth, which could easily occur unbeknownst to you. Over time, a tire’s tread will erode, thus weakening its grip on the road. It is recommended to rotate your tires every few months (or sooner, if you do a lot of driving every day), as treads will erode differently depending on a tire’s position on a vehicle.

    It might seem impractical, though, to replace a full set of tires if only one is problematic. While the safest option is to replace all the tires if one is troublesome, there are ways in which you could replace only one and not put your safety at foolish risk. If you get a puncture mid-journey, you can fit the spare tire to get you to your destination, but it should then be replaced with a proper tire immediately. You could also get away with replacing just one tire if the new one exactly matches the specification of the others on your vehicle.

    The infographic below from First Aid Wheels outlines the dangers of mismatched tires and how you can lower the risk of being involved in an accident by ensuring that all your tires are consistent.

  • GetGo promo winner unlocks exciting free travels with 1 Million GetGo Points

    GetGo promo winner unlocks exciting free travels with 1 Million GetGo Points

    For Wilfred Dy, what began as a casual search for a way to convert bank rewards points to something more useful became the rewarding experience of his life. The 53-year-old stockbroker from Binondo, Manila is the grand winner of the much-coveted GetGo Points to a Million promo.

    “I was really excited when I heard about the promo. I’m a Citibank cardholder and I’ve earned so many points from my everyday purchases. I thought, saan ko kaya siya pwede magamit,” shares Dy. Fortunately, the answer to his question popped out when he heard about GetGo’s biggest bank-wide promo.

    As a loyal GetGo member, Dy was thrilled to hear that the lifestyle rewards program is giving its bank partners’ cardholders a chance to win 1 million GetGo points. With this much points, he thought about the many beautiful countries that he and his family can visit and explore.

    Lucky GetGo member Wilfred Dy becomes an instant millionaire from easily converting his credit card points to GetGo points.

    “For the three years that I’ve been a GetGo member, lagi lang ako nakakakuha ng points from grocery shopping. So, when I found out about this promo, I decided to convert my Citibank points to GetGo points to get those raffle entries for me and my family,” he recounts. “Pero it wasn’t until the last day of the promo that I converted my credit card points and luckily, I won.”

    Before winning the promo, Dy has already been enjoying fun travels within and outside of the country. There was even a year when he flew more than five times for leisure trips. Now, as a GetGo Points Millionaire, he is taking his travel lifestyle to new and exciting heights with free flights!

    “I was shocked ‘nung may tumawag sa akin from GetGo. It was just a normal morning on my way to work and when I answered the call, I was grateful to have received the good news,” Dy remarked when asked about what he felt when he learned that he won the promo.

    Among the destinations that he is excited to fly to with his GetGo points are different international countries, including South Korea and Japan.

    Just like Dy, you can also experience a fun and fulfilling lifestyle with GetGo. The rewards program of Cebu Pacific will stop at nothing to bring amazing travel possibilities as they continue to make daily activities like shopping, dining, watching movies, and fueling up more rewarding with points to fly for free. Who knows? You might be the next GetGo Points Millionaire!

    Cebu Pacific marketing specialists Bernadette Intoy and Ellouise Cachero, and marketing manager Paul Gaston award the GetGo Points Millionaire title to Wilfred Dy.

  • JOHN LLOYD CRUZ First Endorsement Appearance After 2 Years Is He Coming Back To The Limelight?

    JOHN LLOYD CRUZ First Endorsement Appearance After 2 Years Is He Coming Back To The Limelight?

    Photos and videos of matinee idol John Lloyd Cruz have been surfacing after being on hiatus from the show business since 2017.

    Cruz, one of the most bankable actors of the Philippine cinema and very effective endorser once again proved that his fans are still waiting for his return. In a teaser video, which lasted only for a few seconds and only shows the back shot of Cruz’s, and posted in the Facebook page of the number one selling shawarma Turks a few weeks ago had been viewed 3.2M times, shared almost 800 times and gained a huge number of comments.

    Without any clue in that teaser video, his fans already assumed that it was him in the video. Actress Bea Alonzo on her Instagram also posted a screenshot of that teaser video, which garnered almost a million likes.

    This Monday morning Turks finally revealed in the 1-minute and 17 seconds video of Cruz showing the actor walking through different destinations, which somehow depicts Cruz’s sojourn. The video is very simple, yet there’s drama the way it was created, and in a very subtle shot, he stopped and took a bite of a Turks pita donner.

    The rugged look of Cruz in the Turks video titled Ang Pagbabalik is way too far from his guy-next-door image and a lot of people in the industry are asking if this signals his return to the limelight. His fans are still wondering about the life he’s been living since his hiatus.

    According to Turks president Gem L. Zenarosa that during the course of his talks with Cruz, they never talked anything about his showbiz career or plans. He added that he got Mr. Cruz as the latest ambassador of Turks because of his great confidence working with Cruz.

    “I am really grateful that John Lloyd trusts our company, he is a brilliant and very creative young man. Aside from acting we have discovered some of his remarkable talents,” Zenarosa stressed.

    The Ang Pagbabalik according to Zenarosa is actually about Turks Small Pita Doner, which will be available again in all its branches.

    “John Lloyd is the best endorser for this because like him, despite his absence in the showbusiness for a couple of years, the warmth and love of his fans for him never dwindles. With our Small Pita Doner we believe that our customers will be happy to know that it is back in our menu,” Zenarosa explained.

    Just like Cruz who is seen to have a different image since he last appeared in the big screen, a clear indication that the actor is recreating himself and exploring different grounds, Turks is also doing the same thing to keep its customers excited whenever they visit a branch.

    In  time for the release of Cruz’s endorsement video, Turks also released to the market its newest offering — Turks Rice Bowl, which is a complete meal. You can choose beef or chicken for your rice topping, and it is priced at P50. The Small Pita Donner on the other hand, is priced at P35.

    “To keep up with the demands of our customers, Turks continues to improve our menu and offerings to satisfy the discriminating taste of our loyal patrons,” Zenarosa stressed.

    John Lloyd Cruz now joins the roster of endorsers of Turks such as Piolo and Inigo Pascual.  To watch the full video of Ang Pagbabalik visit https://youtu.be/Uh0WwLnIEDQ. You can also watch the video on Turk FB page: official.turks

  • Shopee reveals key online shopping trends of Filipinos ahead of Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale

    Shopee reveals key online shopping trends of Filipinos ahead of Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale

    Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale features a wide range of deals customized for Filipinos’ tastes from April 28 to May 5

    Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, dove deep into the data of its users in the Philippines to uncover key consumers insights on online shopping in the country. Tapping on its deep understanding of the tastes and preferences of Filipino shoppers, Shopee introduces the Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale from April 28 to 5 May, featuring the daily ₱1 Game and daily 100% cashback vouchers.

    “Shopee has grown tremendously in the past year to firmly establish ourselves as the leading e-commerce platform in the Philippines. We owe a big part of our success to the data-centric approach we use to understand and serve our users. With millions of users and growing, we can generate rich and detailed insights about Filipino online shoppers and design campaigns for their evolving needs. Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale is another example of this, and we are proud to once again help Filipinos save more on a massive range of brands and products catered to their tastes,” said Ruoshan Tao, Head of Marketing at Shopee Philippines.

    Shopee reveals 3 key online shopping trends in the Philippines for 2019, ahead of Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale:

    1. More Filipinos are shopping online

    Metro Manila continued to be the online shopping capital of the Philippines, with the most orders recorded on Shopee since the turn of the year. However, online shopping is quickly becoming the norm nationwide, as Mindanao and Visayas are seeing rapid growth in online shopping activity on Shopee.

    Shopee is also becoming the preferred e-commerce platform for Filipinos to find their favorite products. This is apparent as the number of keyword searches in the first quarter of 2019 increased by 2.5 times compared to the same period last year. Filipinos search most often for terms related to Electronics, Health and Beauty, and Fashion; with Xiaomi, Maybelline, and Vans among the most-searched brands so far in 2019.

    2.Geography shapes online shopping habits in the Philippines

    Shopee has found that online shopping preferences differ across regions in the Philippines. For users in Metro Manila, Health & Beauty and Electronics are the top categories with Xiaomi, Realme, and Honor as the leading smartphone brands. In fact, Realme sold over 1,000 units of its brand-new Realme 3 smartphone in two flash sales, with the first flash sale on March 25 selling out in under an hour.

    For shoppers outside the capital, they prefer to buy Fashion products online as they benefit from a massive assortment of products and styles. In Visayas and Mindanao, Korean-styled apparel and footwear are the most purchased items.

    Filipino online shoppers are also most active during lunch and before bed. For instance, Shopee users from Metro Manila tend to shop online from 12NN to 2 PM. Meanwhile, users in Mindanao and Visayas are most active from 8 to 10 PM.

    3.Men are shopping online more often, and more widely

    Finally, men are shopping online more as e-commerce becomes the norm in the Philippines. Shopping among male users has more than doubled on Shopee in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same time last year.

    Men are also more actively shopping for Fashion and Beauty products, aside from conventional categories such as Electronics and Gaming. Online shopping for skincare items is becoming especially common for men, with face masks ranking among the top 10 most popular products for male Shopee users in the first quarter of 2019.

    Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale: 8 days of unbeatable deals catered to Filipinos’ shopping habits

    Taking place from April 28 to May 5, Shopee 5.5 Double Double Sale features 8 days of unbeatable deals including daily ₱1 Games and daily 100% Cashback Vouchers. Armed with a close understanding of Filipinos’ tastes and preferences, Shopee has partnered leading brands in the Philippines including Maybelline, Globe, Enfagrow, and Infinix to deliver up to 90% off the most-wanted items.
