Through this unique initiative, we hope to drive home the point that our SIMs are a crucial part of our digital identity and must be protected. We also want to remind our prepaid customers that they need to register their SIMs by the July 25 deadline. We urge all Globe customers to register their SIMs now,” said Yoly Crisanto, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, Globe Group.<br /><br />To avoid becoming a victim of fraud, Globe reiterates its call for customers to register their SIMs. Globe Prepaid, TM and Globe At Home Prepaid WiFi customers may register via the GlobeOne app and Globe’s SIM registration microsite (<a href="https://new.globe.com.ph/simreg">https://new.globe.com.ph/simreg</a>) 24/7.<br /><br />Fully-verified GCash account holders may also utilize the GCash app. Those in need of assistance may also get help to register their SIMs in any Globe Store and EasyHub nationwide.<br /><br />Globe Postpaid, Globe Business Postpaid and Globe Platinum subscribers have already been included in the SIM registration database. For company-owned Globe Business prepaid accounts, steps to register or update details have been sent to authorized company representatives.<br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">Celebrity accounts ‘hacked’</h3><br />The imaginative take on promoting online safety started with strange teaser posts on all of Kiray and Kuya Kim's active social media accounts, culminating in a TikTok LIVE session, where the impersonators peddled entertainingly obvious scams to viewers, effectively spotlighting potential dangers lurking online.<div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgi9JRxHMCaTNp-6w17jsZ4mVpPkicGN6PmFLVLbGFKURR-4m4KlbfV7nZTBm0zK5YPyHuo3hqSd-MWjzDYc2ujdEZonwbhwHm3aRuQtDMPS0dOyOMzugRBjWqnvYXQtoPWJCoromXU6jhgE0vv1lXN8gMTLATiXfSBkLQRfZkmRVBf0CKct4kK4mJC4-c" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1692" data-original-width="946" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgi9JRxHMCaTNp-6w17jsZ4mVpPkicGN6PmFLVLbGFKURR-4m4KlbfV7nZTBm0zK5YPyHuo3hqSd-MWjzDYc2ujdEZonwbhwHm3aRuQtDMPS0dOyOMzugRBjWqnvYXQtoPWJCoromXU6jhgE0vv1lXN8gMTLATiXfSBkLQRfZkmRVBf0CKct4kK4mJC4-c=s16000" /></a></div><br />Kiray's impostor took her followers on a journey of transformation, promising a high-end, luxe, and more beautiful version of the beloved comedienne, ending in a live selling event and a dramatic "face reveal."

That has been the situation for many, more so after the reopening of lives after the long lockdowns.<br /><br />However, more recently, many Filipinos have turned to bike commuting. It has become a normal sight to see people riding their bicycles around major cities. Despite the country’s unpredictable weather, more and more can be seen pedaling by themselves or even cycling in groups. They ride their bikes both for recreational and essential purposes like staying physically active, running errands, and heading to work.<br /><br />Furthermore, bicycles are now turning into more ideal modes of transportation as they can easily squeeze their way into the frantic metro traffic and even squeeze through alleys and shortcuts that would otherwise not be accessible by cars. <br /><br />But more than these reasons, many have turned to biking not only to stay away from the hassle of road transport but to lessen their carbon footprint. The conversations on how global warming is severely affecting the environment worldwide, primarily due to the excessive consumption of fossil fuels for transportation, have pushed more environmentally conscious people to look for sustainable alternatives to replace fossil fuels. <br /><br />Now, more than ever, people from different walks of life are becoming more knowledgeable about their purchasing decisions. They opt for brands that have sustainability and green practices at their core – showing their concern for the planet’s well-being. Informed consumers actively seek out eco-friendly alternatives in replacement of their everyday essentials to promote lasting positive change for the environment.<div><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>Make your sustainable choice with Home Credit </b></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQcjQVMC2bRmYFVB1SCTBHqPR5gEiQ8P9KTVLj4rbeQf38FNpcTVJFi148FzwV0BsEBCa5Vffn1gp1LUhWspPurf9RYoZfRS39QR4_ji9Dxu5LMpCNziWZ-pFVGyPJ0bRy863zYhdD7XHw8Ly6nfA8hPdpGvmtgJJZ6oNKXjRc7hYOEQm-uJyquqNy/s754/314982107_664905558315115_2122045038736984176_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="377" data-original-width="754" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQcjQVMC2bRmYFVB1SCTBHqPR5gEiQ8P9KTVLj4rbeQf38FNpcTVJFi148FzwV0BsEBCa5Vffn1gp1LUhWspPurf9RYoZfRS39QR4_ji9Dxu5LMpCNziWZ-pFVGyPJ0bRy863zYhdD7XHw8Ly6nfA8hPdpGvmtgJJZ6oNKXjRc7hYOEQm-uJyquqNy/s16000/314982107_664905558315115_2122045038736984176_n.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div>If you’re one of the “green-minded” Filipino consumers who had been wanting to go bike commuting or simply wanted to channel your inner Freddie Mercury and ride your own bicycle around the metro — you may want to take a look at Home Credit’s financial products to finally take home the wheels you’ve been eyeing.

Filipino young adults are evolving a new dating style that veers away from traditional conventions and expectations, instead expressing bold new preferences and beliefs, reveals the recent survey conducted by Tinder in the Philippines with 18-25 y.o.<span><a name='more'></a></span><br /><br />Tinder’s <a href="https://www.tinderpressroom.com/futureofdating">Future of Dating</a> 2020 report revealed dating behavior of its members -- during the peak of the pandemic -- and into 2021. Results showed 18+ year old singles shifting from the familiar chronology of slow courtship and opting for more flexibility in their dating expectations, emotions and experiences. They prefer to maintain a certain fluidity in their dates and dating choices, consciously avoiding stereotypical dating practices and going with what they determine to be best at the moment without losing sight of the future. This shift from traditional dating and courtship customs and way of thinking is reshaping today’s dating landscape well into the future.<br /><br />“Young Pinoy 18+ year olds and above factor in many considerations in their dating choices, and their preferences reflect their lived experiences and pop culture influences as diverse as Hallyu Wave to Hollywood, They find joy in doing simpler activities for their dates and meeting new folks with similar interests that our newest feature Explore is based on with sections on Foodies, Coffee Date, Thrill seekers and so on.” explained Tinder Senior Communications Director of APAC Papri Dev.<br /><br />Tinder’s recent poll found six top characteristics of young Pinoy adults’ new way of dating in 2022.<br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><i>Keeping Dates Simple</i></h3><br />This shouldn’t come as a surprise given young singletons' tendency to deviate from traditional dating. In stark contrast to older generations’ dating style, the survey revealed that 73% of Pinoy young adult daters prefer simple dates such as grabbing a coffee and strolling around urban spots. Food dates come second as an ideal first date, with respondents saying that checking out new budget-friendly restos is a great idea to start getting to know someone. Classic movie dates secured the third spot, as young Pinoys stated that they love the idea of watching a movie for their first date.<br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><i style="font-weight: normal;">It's more about someone you can connect and communicate easily with</i></h3><br />Tinder’s survey results show that in choosing someone to date, 88% of young Pinoy online daters look for someone they can trust and confide in. A large percentage said they will choose someone who is open-minded and accepting and are looking for someone who can make them crack up. Respondents also prefer someone with whom they can communicate their needs and wants, and who shares the same values, each getting 74% of votes.<br /><br />While the photos one chooses to put on their profiles still matter, there is definitely more weight given to personality over physical attributes.<br /><br />With the lockdowns restricting outdoor mobility and gatherings, many young daters started taking their dates online. These virtual dates became beneficial for everyone as they became a new avenue for them to know their matches better before making any commitment. Virtual dates have therefore become a more popular choice among young Pinoy online daters, with 45% saying they’ve gone on virtual first dates many times and 30% revealing that they have done it at least once or twice. More than 60% said they can create meaningful connections with someone through virtual dates, and many claimed they can tell if they have a connection with a match through a video call. Interestingly, 43% said they are more likely to consider progressing the dating period to an exclusive relationship if they’ve been on virtual dates.<br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><i>Itinadhana matters and there’s renewed interest in romance the modern way</i></h3><br />Young daters may downplay K-crush standards as basis for their date choices, but Korean and Pinoy rom-coms and dramas, although plagued with romantic cliches, are keeping their hope for itinadhana (the destined one) alive. No matter how loud this generation will scream walang forever (there’s no forever) or maghihiwalay din kayo (you will eventually break up), needless to say, their sana all (hopefully all) will always win. <br /><br />When asked for their reasons for dating, a whopping 86% revealed they are looking for the one or a long-term relationship. Sixty-one date to find their own happiness, and 43% date in search of intimacy. Possibly driven by the pandemic, a few people date to avoid feeling alone while some others date to boost their confidence.<br /><br />If you thought the young guns will be disheartened by the celebrity and idol breakup stories that dominate social media lately, think again. Hindi sila ang henerasyong sumuko sa love (this is not the generation who gave up on love).<br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><i>Dating gets easier when you can meet someone with similar interests</i></h3><br />When asked what has stood in the way of their dating, 56% revealed they don’t like making the first move, and 43% said they feel awkward doing so.<br /><br />Possibly still basking in the glory of independence, 26% revealed they are living their best single life. Some respondents expressed they need help in finding new people to meet (25%) and others said they need help with ice breakers (23%).<br /><br />This is the reason for Tinder’s Explore section, which houses a number of categories based on members’ Interests. These Interests, or Passions, present various scenarios such as Free Tonight? for those looking for spontaneous meet-ups, Let’s Be Friends for those looking for pure friendship, Binge Watchers for those looking for fellow daters with a passion for TV series and much more to help users easily find matches that share their interests and provide easy conversation starters. The latest upgrade will soon allow members to tag 20 Interests in their profiles.<br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><i>Paramdam to put yourself out there</i></h3><br />Young Pinoy online daters don’t shy away from making subtle hints to express their romantic intent.<br /><br />78% will try to connect with someone they’re romantically interested in through frequent chats. Meanwhile, 59% will find opportunities to spend time with their matches by asking them out, and 57% will send memes, stickers and GIFs to make paramdam.<br /><br />In the spirit of keeping dates simple, 55% will express their intent through calls and video chats. Leveraging their social media savviness, 48% prefer to be visible on social media by posting thoughtful comments and frequently liking their crushes’ posts.<br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><i>Pinoy daters are being more honest and authentic on their dates</i></h3><br />Sixty-one percent of Pinoy daters surveyed will choose to have an open and honest conversation with the person to share how they are feeling while 20% will give it more time to better assess where things may lead to. Dating for this generation is a stage to get to know their matches better. The survey found that 37% of Pinoy daters choose to date three to four times before deciding whether they want to continue seeing each other. Thirty-two percent said they can decide just after one or a couple of dates. <i><b>(PR)</b></i><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />Randomly Candidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09346879813253222535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2788117094344483611.post-6228966428693180142022-09-02T20:53:00.003+08:002022-09-05T20:57:14.607+08:00BDO Capital is PH’s Best Corporate and Institutional Adviser for 16 Consecutive Years<div><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFeZgbNzh7AYJ3llqqv0v-7k7evRwQst4NGaAqYdXrutBOXzE35X4FhZUTjDslr29scVvnsHnwLWoyj4_F7wUGgL-10KmQnDGz7EsR617uFhQ2u1Y1mJ-0pMklrcfl98vyPVjAXSqM3BsiSybCUHmQm49b5bk93GdUy9BtWGLAqAEFs_a5tR_8g1aL/s4696/BDO%20facade.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2876" data-original-width="4696" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFeZgbNzh7AYJ3llqqv0v-7k7evRwQst4NGaAqYdXrutBOXzE35X4FhZUTjDslr29scVvnsHnwLWoyj4_F7wUGgL-10KmQnDGz7EsR617uFhQ2u1Y1mJ-0pMklrcfl98vyPVjAXSqM3BsiSybCUHmQm49b5bk93GdUy9BtWGLAqAEFs_a5tR_8g1aL/s16000/BDO%20facade.jpg" /></a><br /><br /> BDO Capital & Investment Corporation (BDO Capital) has been recognized as the country’s Best Corporate and Institutional Adviser for the 16th straight year at The Asset Triple A Awards. BDO Capital’s noteworthy achievement remains unmatched by any other local investment house as it continues to demonstrate consistent excellence in delivering best-in-class investment banking services across various product lines in the Philippine capital markets catering to small to large clients, issuers and investors, as well as its shareholders and employees.<span><a name='more'></a></span><br /><br />For more than two decades, BDO Capital continues to be at the forefront of equities and debt capital-raising exercises for both the government and private sector through initial public offerings, follow-on offerings, rights offerings, preferred shares, sovereign bonds, corporate bonds and loans/notes, and project finance with an aggregate amount raised in excess of PHP10 trillion to date. Inspite of the financial crisis in 2008 and even at the height of the ongoing pandemic, BDO Capital has remained resilient and continues to hold its dominance in the domestic investment banking industry. This can be attributed to the Company’s ability to quickly adapt to dynamically changing market conditions. <br /><br />The merger of Equitable PCIBank and BDO in 2006 has paved the way for a bigger and better investment house combining the outstanding credentials of both PCI Capital Corporation and BDO Capital. Furthermore, BDO Capital is able to take advantage of the complementary strengths of its parent companies, BDO Unibank and the SM Group, in terms of capital backing, distribution reach, clientele base and industry position. <br /><br />BDO Capital is a full-service investment house offering a wide range of investment banking services, including securities underwriting and trading, loan syndication, financial advisory, private placement of debt and equity, project finance, and direct equity investment. The Company’s continued dominance in the domestic investment banking industry can be attributed to its solid capital strength and stability, unmatched distribution capability and customer-centric approach with its customized, optimal solutions to achieve clients’, issuers’ and investors’ business goals. <br /><br />“We take pride in our team of hard-working, dedicated and passionate individuals who always put our customers first. Our clients are valuable to us and we definitely do our best to consistently provide them with top-notch structuring and execution, and help them fulfill their business goals given the dynamic conditions in the market,” said Eduardo V. Francisco, President of BDO Capital. <br /><br />The Asset Triple A Awards recognize companies for their exceptional performance in banking, finance, treasury and capital markets. The Asset Awards judges use a highly stringent criteria which includes consultation with issuers and investors who constitute the bulk of The Asset’s readership base as part of the selection process.

Renato Vergel De Dios, President and CEO of BDO Life, offers an insight that quite interestingly, people don’t hear every day: “Life insurance is a lasting and selfless expression of love.”<span><a name='more'></a></span><br /><br />“I have always questioned this part of our wedding vows, ‘to love and to cherish ‘til death do us part.’ Why must one’s love and responsibility to each other terminate upon death? In this day and age, death provides no excuse for fleeing one’s family responsibilities,” said Vergel De Dios.<br /><br />“But then again, the origin of these vows dates back to 1549 when life insurance was hardly a well-established instrument for looking after our loved ones beyond our earthly existence,” he added. <br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><i>Love means protecting your loved ones</i></h3>This ongoing pandemic has demonstrated that despite advances in medical science and technology, there is still no absolute security against diseases, suffering, and death. <br /><br />“The pandemic has been a wake-up call, a reminder that we are not invincible. We can get really sick, including the fittest among us. Some of us can get laid off as businesses are forced to shut down. We wake up realizing that our lives are fraught with insecurity and risk. The question is: How do we protect ourselves from the unavoidable uncertainties of life?”<br /><br />The pandemic underscored a powerful lesson on the uncertainties of life. “The best we can do is to ensure that we prepare for the worst. Life is indeed one real world risk management exercise,” he said.<br /><br />Life insurance protects families from financial ruin when their actively working providers suffer a premature death. It acts as a financial “first responder” for one’s family in their moment of greatest need. <br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><i>The most unselfish purchase one can make</i></h3>Life insurance exists to help breadwinners provide a cash estate or income replacement to enable their loved ones to minimize the disruption in their lives when they get sick or pass away. <br /><br />Most heads of families underestimate how much their loved ones are impacted by their passing—it will be the greatest pain in their lives. But on top of their emotional devastation, family members left behind will have to address final expenses, hospital bills, and outstanding debts—and most of all, the daily expenses to keep the family together: providing food on the table, house rentals, utility bills, school expenses, etc.<br /><br />The emotional impact will be felt for a time. But the financial impact will linger on until the family manages to readjust and recover its financial bearings. <br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><i>Small acts of love forge lasting relationships</i></h3>Everyone is capable of performing a grand gesture to one’s family despite a lack of immense wealth. <br /><br />How? Through life insurance. Anyone can create a cash estate the size of which is to be determined in exchange for a relatively small token payment each year. Life insurance is the most efficient way to create an estate that one can leave behind. Each token premium payment is, by itself, a small act of love that is reinforced each year. <br /><br /><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;"><i>Protecting the “family ATM”</i></h3>Every breadwinner is analogous to an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) from where the family draws its cash requirements for its daily sustenance and aspirations in life. Eventually, however, all income-earners will get sick, age, and pass away. This is why life insurance is important.<div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4uF3l38FaOs_8-HUm6UxVFgd_gm0JwXfJIl8y0eLNESdqxLjtAvHh76ICyD_AzYF1vWzwAiy_pIS9j_dAB1R6Jf4hirhL5_kjyXmJo-JP4RPridMBrIP4JpnKzh9CLRrsSnbUS_QdVJWI7wN5bMN7Df02ldFOyr3oROFD1XDei7zm_BqtxxhvzAYM/s1920/What%20If%2008.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4uF3l38FaOs_8-HUm6UxVFgd_gm0JwXfJIl8y0eLNESdqxLjtAvHh76ICyD_AzYF1vWzwAiy_pIS9j_dAB1R6Jf4hirhL5_kjyXmJo-JP4RPridMBrIP4JpnKzh9CLRrsSnbUS_QdVJWI7wN5bMN7Df02ldFOyr3oROFD1XDei7zm_BqtxxhvzAYM/s16000/What%20If%2008.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption"><b>True love and self-sacrifice.</b> Life insurance is one of the most selfless expressions of true love.

There’s no one-size-fits-all plan because every family’s needs are different. That’s where your Financial Advisor (FA) comes in.

Isa na dito si Rosegie Ramos, isang 18-anyos na grade 10 student ng Mampang National High School, na tulad ni Hidilyn ay tubong Mampang, Zamboanga rin.<span><a name='more'></a></span><br />Kamakailan lang ay humakot ng tatlong gintong medalya si Rosegie sa Asian Youth and Junior Weightlifting Championships na ginanap sa Tashkent City, Uzbekistan. Nagrehistro siya ng best score sa snatch (71kg.), clean and jerk (90kg.), at total (161kg.) para mamayagpag sa Junior division category ng nasabing paligsahan. Bago rito, nag-uwi rin si Rosegie, ng bronze medal sa women’s 49kg. category ng weightlifting mula sa Southeast Asian Games na ginanap sa Vietnam noong Mayo. <br /><br />Isang pagsubok para kay Rosegie ang pag-balanse ng kanyang pag-eensayo bilang atleta at ang kanyang pag-aaral bilang estudyante. Kaya’t malaki ang pasasalamat niya sa pagkakaroon ng BDO Cash Agad sa kanilang lugar dahil nakakatulong ito para mapabilis at mapadali ang pag-withdraw nya ng kinakailangang cash.<br /><br />"Nung wala pa po ang BDO Cash Agad dito, bumibiyahe pa po ako nang 30 minutes para lang makapunta sa town para makapag-withdraw. Minsan ginagabi pa po ako. Ngayon andito na ang BDO Cash Agad, nagpapasalamat po ako kay ate Hidilyn na hindi ko na kailangan bumiyahe ng 30 minutes, menos gastos po." kwento ni Rosegie.<br /><br />Ngayon, kailangan lamang pumunta ni Rosegie sa Hidilyn Diaz Gym na malapit sa kaniyang bahay sa Mampang para makapag-withdraw ng cash dahil isa na itong ganap na Cash Agad partner-agent. Pinatayo ni Hidilyn ang gym para magsilbing training facility sa mga nangangarap na maging champion weightlifter tulad niya at ni Rosegie, at para sa iba pang health and sports enthusiasts sa lugar nila. <br /><br />"Nabanggit nga ng coach ko na nagkaroon ng Cash Agad dito sa gym ni Ate Hidi.

Its net income attributable to the parent company during the first two quarters of the year also grew by 24% year-on-year to P748 million from last years’ P604 million.<span><a name='more'></a></span><br /><br />Consolidated revenues came in at P3.0 billion, reflecting a 22% year-on-year improvement from P2.4 billion last year. <br /><br />The improved performance was backed by strong real estate sales during the first six months of the year, reflecting a 29% increase to P2.3 billion. Residential and commercial properties in Boracay Newcoast, Eastland Heights, Twin Lakes and Arden Botanical Estate also saw increased demand as reservation sales reached P8.4 billion.<br /><br />Rental income also saw growth at P212 million, an 11% increase from last year’s P190 million, attributed to the further reopening of the economy.<br /><br />Hotel revenues posted the biggest growth from year-ago levels, posting a 253% increase to P158 million as compared to the same period last year, largely driven by the return to leisure and increasing tourist arrivals.<br /><br />“We are seeing the tourism and leisure market gain momentum, benefiting our company which is best-positioned to accommodate this return and influx of tourist arrivals,” says GERI President Monica T. Salomon. “Likewise, the continued improvement in mobility has allowed for higher completion of our residential projects, particularly during the second quarter,” she adds. <br /><br />Just recently, the company also opened its first convention facility, the Boracay Newcoast Convention Center, which will be operated by its hotel properties inside the 150-hectare Boracay Newcoast.<br /><br />“We are keen on having more facilities that will further boost tourism in our various estates around the country,” reveals Salomon.<br /><br /> Today, GERI has eight (8) integrated tourism developments across the country covering more than 3,300 hectares of land namely: Twin Lakes in Laurel, Batangas (1,200 hectares); Southwoods City in Biñan, Laguna and Carmona, Cavite (561 hectares); Alabang West in Las Piñas City (62 hectares); Boracay Newcoast in Boracay Island, Aklan (150 hectares); Sta.
