She even talked about how the ease of the Scan to Pay feature when it comes to simple things, like buying kwek-kwek when the craving strikes, and of course, who could forget her delighted reaction when she successfully used her GCash Card for the first time to pay for a coffee run in Paris! </span></p><p></p><blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">“<i>For me, GCash has been a game changer.

The scholars enjoyed a private screening of Disney Animation’s latest musical comedy “Wish” on December 12 at the Ayala Malls Central Bloc.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Indeed, it was a wish come true for the scholars, all students of humanities classes under Tzu Chi, among Hapag Movement’s implementing partners. Not only did they get to watch the movie in a private screening in one of Ayala Cinemas’ most comfortable theaters, they also got to enjoy fun games, prizes, food, drinks and other surprises.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“For me it’s a great privilege. Bihira lang maka-join lalo sa ganitong pagkakataon, especially with scholars of Tzu Chi Foundation and together with the Hapag Movement. We’re so blessed.

In Tzu Chi, we teach them values and through this movie “Wish,” they will learn a lot. That’s really the teaching of Tzu Chi, for us to become a star for other people,” Ybañez said.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">At the special screening, Patrick Gloria, Globe Group Vice President for External Affairs, spoke to the scholars about the Hapag Movement and thanked collaborators that made the event possible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">“This special screening organized by Globe is supported by WeAreAyala Business Club - Cebu for the benefit of the Hapag Movement. The Hapag Movement is a program where we help the most vulnerable people in society, especially children. We make sure we feed them right and give their families livelihood training so that they will have a sustainable source of income to put food on their table. Thank you for doing this with us and let’s do this again next year,” Gloria said.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By leveraging technology and partnerships, the Hapag Movement aims to help 100,000 families battling involuntary hunger through supplemental feeding and livelihood training.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">To learn how to help, visit https://www.globe.com.ph/about-us/sustainability/globe-of-good#gref.</p>jorphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08392361837215421108noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979551307149734919.post-25615700502354054272024-01-06T09:04:00.000+08:002024-01-06T09:04:01.281+08:00Dive into the New Year Fresh and Exciting Titles on Lionsgate Play <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Start the new year on a high note with Lionsgate Play's exciting lineup of new titles</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What better way to kickstart the new year than with top-tier entertainment?

No, not entirely. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>The birth of MICC</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">In March 2022, Mang Inasal Creators’ Circle (MICC) was launched. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">With 30 members composed of mommy nano-influencers and foodies who love Mang Inasal, MICC was created to bring together real brand ambassadors and support their influencer journey by making them part of campaigns that allowed them to enjoy the Ihaw-Sarap food and Unli-Saya experience of Mang Inasal.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVGePPcwBGJraC8ewUiMhqkZ3sKbF83GlWc-jb__vYdc8WzjyP75EeV1kM9FUIuC6CTOUg_rVD2OyJBoo5zKMwjuijq0ycR8_tIm8WJxEmS5nCzHjbFa4LbwY4JHAteU6Hqb6M_uK-FAK7J-itPIqnF6M5vUk_uOxqvD-usEixfqqYA5pyMV-3PvD1nXA/s1344/Mang%20Inasal%20Creators%20Circle%20Meet%20Ups.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="629" data-original-width="1344" height="188" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVGePPcwBGJraC8ewUiMhqkZ3sKbF83GlWc-jb__vYdc8WzjyP75EeV1kM9FUIuC6CTOUg_rVD2OyJBoo5zKMwjuijq0ycR8_tIm8WJxEmS5nCzHjbFa4LbwY4JHAteU6Hqb6M_uK-FAK7J-itPIqnF6M5vUk_uOxqvD-usEixfqqYA5pyMV-3PvD1nXA/w400-h188/Mang%20Inasal%20Creators%20Circle%20Meet%20Ups.png" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">“MICC started as an experiment because we wanted to try out better ways to promote Mang Inasal on social media,” shared Mang Inasal Digital and Public Relations Head, RJ Jabeguero-Rodillo. “Then during the first campaign, we saw that there’s promise in it as the MICCs' posts looked and sounded so natural that netizens found them authentic and relatable. And the selection was perfect because MICC members are real loyal Mang Inasal patrons.”</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>IHAWtastic content co-creation</b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">Everything starts with a simple brief – for the content creator to post about the campaign however they prefer it. Apart from key messages, reminders on what to highlight in their photos and videos and coordination with the stores for the products that are taken care of by Mang Inasal, it’s the influencers who work on the magic of their materials in a way that achieves the goals yet aligned with their personalities and lifestyles.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">From the initial 30-member group, the MICC exponentially grew to over 160 members by 2023. This growth gave birth to a new category of content creators within the community – the Gen Zs and TikTokerists. Now, with over 30 campaigns in 2023, the youth, moms, and foodies all seamlessly tell their unique love for Mang Inasal across their 29-million overall follower base. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwuhERHYSpGXHfplsRhZVp_uMEz0QKv7qFaizuAMgy4sHLOT-eCcuC4OpMLVxt8f5KcwYaNsjZeSVM86dSLvZLMATZ0bQFdT8INv8apeuzuLB9DC4pp8mO0-GSuJZ-jgFzMEg-jxA2weXNibo00MxxRGELpxYCl4BsyP9wV6-i6ZttrWvyaLtTJnTw-eI/s1097/Mang%20Inasal%20rewrites%20brand%20love%20story%20with%20local%20content%20creators.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="579" data-original-width="1097" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwuhERHYSpGXHfplsRhZVp_uMEz0QKv7qFaizuAMgy4sHLOT-eCcuC4OpMLVxt8f5KcwYaNsjZeSVM86dSLvZLMATZ0bQFdT8INv8apeuzuLB9DC4pp8mO0-GSuJZ-jgFzMEg-jxA2weXNibo00MxxRGELpxYCl4BsyP9wV6-i6ZttrWvyaLtTJnTw-eI/w400-h211/Mang%20Inasal%20rewrites%20brand%20love%20story%20with%20local%20content%20creators.png" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">As MICC continues to expand, the community has not only tapped a diverse mix of content creators but also partnered with some of the biggest content creators in the regions including Simon Javier of Metro Manila; Mommy Hieds and Georgeous George of North Luzon; Mommy Diaries PH of South Luzon; Mortejo Twins and Zamboanga Guide of Visayas and Mindanao.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">“We really appreciate how MICC has added a new spark to how we tell our brand story,” said Ed Timbungco, Mang Inasal Public Relations Manager. “It is a mutually beneficial partnership that has allowed Mang Inasal to help expand the followers of its partner content creators, while the MICCs enrich the Brand’s ways to share its campaigns to more people across the country. We are all kindred spirits exchanging stories about Mang Inasal, a brand we all love.”</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><b>Celebration of collaboration </b></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">All efforts since its creation have proven to be worth it when the MICC was recently awarded the Black Dragon recognition under the Best Brand Building/Awareness Campaign category at the prestigious 2023 Dragons of Asia.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">“MICC is definitely one of our biggest wins this 2023 because we have connected with different communities of customers through our content partners nationwide,” said Rodillo. "We are thankful to all MICC members for their contribution in bringing all the great Mang Inasal updates to their followers. And the Dragons of Asia win confirms the power of their efforts."</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">As a celebration of this recognition, MICC Meet Ups were done nationwide, including Mega Manila, North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. This allowed the brand to get to know the creators in person and share each other’s MICC journey. Also, a virtual party wrapped up the year as all members united via Zoom and celebrated the first-ever MICC IHAWtastic Awards.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;">While Mang Inasal is ending 2023 with the loudest bang with MICC, the new year promises bigger and more IHAWtastic campaigns that will surely give digital content creators more Ihaw-Sarap food and Unli-Saya experience wherever and however they want to enjoy it.</span></p>jorphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08392361837215421108noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1979551307149734919.post-57214513702240362962023-12-27T10:52:00.003+08:002023-12-28T11:04:13.893+08:00 Growth in life insurance sales signals opportunity for Filipinos to strengthen financial security<p><span style="font-size: 18px;"> </span></p><p class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">Life insurance Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) sales for the first semester of 2023 grew just under 10% as the industry remains well-positioned to top its annual pre-pandemic sales levels for the first time. </span><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">APE is the annual total value of all single and recurring premium policies.</span></p><p class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;"><br /></span></p><p class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOlcAUDe2NXlz5MKqm8KGJ0qpRsyir5q5nYy0TM-QIK3h8qcEPDb7M85sOR_3KCDkRTUw73PqWVSku8x5VbMhJgOSjk1UP2Qxv0Cr0_jYZVYZfW5_92QcZOt25JaJttNpIoFDGbcls6hEnNEuiotLDPhzuExmKTyE4NGuOQXs7-fuUwD1CsCzrPsK1nCo/s500/IMG_0043.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="333" data-original-width="500" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOlcAUDe2NXlz5MKqm8KGJ0qpRsyir5q5nYy0TM-QIK3h8qcEPDb7M85sOR_3KCDkRTUw73PqWVSku8x5VbMhJgOSjk1UP2Qxv0Cr0_jYZVYZfW5_92QcZOt25JaJttNpIoFDGbcls6hEnNEuiotLDPhzuExmKTyE4NGuOQXs7-fuUwD1CsCzrPsK1nCo/w640-h426/IMG_0043.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">Known for its heavy reliance on face-to-face transactions in marketing its products, the life insurance sector was seen to be among the most impac</span><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">ted during the pandemic years.</span><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;"></span><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">However, under the prevailing economic climate, Filipino families are increasingly seen to prioritize insurance to safeguard themselv</span><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">es and their loved ones against</span><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">unforeseen </span><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">events. </span><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">Moreover, they also look for ways to ensure they are secure financially through whatever means.</span></p><p class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> </span></p><p class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span class="s8" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">There are five critical assets a person should consider to achieve financial security:</span><span class="s5" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;"></span></p><p class="s4" style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 21.6px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 21.6px;"> </span></p><div class="s11" style="font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 36px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify; text-indent: -18px;"><span class="s9" style="font-family: Symbol; line-height: 21.6px;">• </span><span class="s10" style="font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; line-height: 21.6px;">Emergency Funds:</span><span class="s5" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;"> </span><span class="s5" style="font-family: Arial; line-height: 21.6px;">Emergency funds are savings for unanticipated expenses like medical incidents and house repairs.
