SM City Iloilo welcomes SpongeBob SquarePants on April 30

It’s almost eighteen years to this day that the longtime animated show SpongeBob SquarePants has made its debut on Nickolodeon! So long, in fact, that it currently holds the title for the longest running Nicktoon that’s still running with 10 seasons and more than 200 episodes under its belt.  


If you’re square enough, then you must know all about everybody’s favorite sea-dwelling sponge and his mateys! Of course, we know Spongebob works at the Krusty Krab as a fry cook, and that he lives in a pineapple under the sea, and that he has a lot of adventures with his best friend Patrick Star, but here’s a few more fun things we can add to what we know of the most famous resident of Bikini Bottom.
• SpongeBob creator Stephen Hillenburg is a marine biologist in real life, who also taught science in school and once worked as a fry cook at a seafood restaurant• His original name was SpongeBoy, but that was already taken by a mop• A sponge-like fungi discovered in 2011 was named after SpongeBob, and it is called spongiforma squarepantsii• As childish and cute as he is, SpongeBob’s identification card says his birthday is on July 14, 1989, making him a full-fledged adult about to turn 28! Now we all know why he lives alone!• SpongeBob’s laugh is meant to make us think of the ocean: it is based on the distinctive call of a dolphin, with just a touch of a seagull’s shriek

So famous is SpongeBob SquarePants that even celebrities like Johnny Depp, Victoria Beckham and Amy Poehler have done voiceovers of some characters in the show.

And SM is reeling in our loveable yellow spongey friend from Bikini Bottom… 

SpongeBob SquarePants and his BFF Patrick Star is visiting an SM Supermall near you! Yes, that’s right, Patrick Star, too! And because he’s joining SpongeBob at the meet-and-greet, here are a few fun facts about him, too: he weighs only 2 ounces, lives under a rock, enjoys annoying their other friend Squidward, and has a big sister named Sam.


Catch SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star this weekend at SM City Iloilo on April 30 at 3:30PM!

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible. In this latest scheme, perpetrators created gambling apps while falsely claiming to be accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). These apps deceive users with a verification process, redirecting them to a fake GCash website or payment page to top up betting credits. From there, fraudsters were able to access sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, GCash numbers, MPINs, OTPs, and other personal data that can be exploited to gain unau...
