JING: The Creator-First App Celebrities Arci Muñoz, Nijel de Mesa, Angeli Khang Are Already Calling ‘The Future of Social Media‘

Tweet

Something big just dropped—and no, it’s not just another social app.

Jing just made its global debut in Singapore, and let’s just say… it understood the assignment.

We’re talking a full-house launch at Golden Village Funan in Singapore, packed with creators, media, and industry insiders—all there to witness a platform that’s flipping the script on how social media works.

Co-Founder Chairman Jing Turla 

Co-Founder Jing Turla described it as a platform where creators aren’t just users—they’re the priority. A space where communities grow, opportunities are open, and your content actually works for you.

Translation: your scroll time might finally pay off.

Because here’s the real tea: most platforms let you post… but Jing lets you earn.

Like actually earn.

During the launch, CEO & Founder Glen John Labasug called it out—billions of people use social media, but only a tiny percentage make money from it. Jing is here to change that by building monetization straight into the experience. No extra hoops. No weird algorithms gatekeeping your bag.

And the vibe? Unreal.

Marion Muller

Hosted by Swiss creator Marion Muller, with appearances from Megan Foo and Kathy Wong, the whole event felt more like a concert than a corporate launch. Then add celebs like Arci Muñoz, Angeli Khang, and Nijel de Mesa into the mix… yeah, it was a moment.

But beyond the hype, Jing is pushing something bigger.

And the best part? It’s already live.

Jing is now available for free on Google Play and the App Store—so whether you’re a content creator, side hustler, or just someone tired of posting for free… this might be your sign.

The future of social media? It’s giving creator-first. Download Jing.

Puregold Highlights Sari-Sari Stores’ Role in Driving Grassroots Commerce and MSME Growth

Tweet

In its final installment of the Sari-Sari Stories, Puregold releases “Pangalan,” a moving tribute to the sari-sari stores that continue to power daily life, grassroots enterprise, and community connection across the Philippines.

Following “Ways,” “The Sign,” and “The Witness,” Puregold broadens the conversation from nostalgia to economic relevance, highlighting how sari-sari stores continue to serve as accessible retail touchpoints, community anchors, and entry-level enterprises that support household livelihoods in the country.

Sari-sari stores go beyond informal neighborhood retail. They function as last-mile commerce points that respond to everyday consumer needs with proximity, familiarity, and flexible purchasing options. Their resilience has allowed them to remain relevant even as the retail landscape continues to evolve.

That economic role is matched by social relevance. At the heart of Pangalan is the idea that sari-sari stores are more than neighborhood shops: they are trusted spaces that people turn to not only for essentials, but for connection and reliability. The film captures this dual role in distinctly Filipino terms: the store as tanungan, tambayan, and takbuhan.

The narrative is reinforced by appearances of OPM artists Jhoanna Robles of BINI, Stell Ajero of SB19, and Skusta Clee, whose personal recollections reflect the deep familiarity of sari-sari stores in Filipino life. Their participation adds cultural relevance to a message ultimately anchored in enterprise, accessibility, and community-based retail.

Puregold’s focus on this segment remains rooted in mass-market demand and the practical realities of everyday consumption. By spotlighting community-based retail, the company reinforces its relevance at the grassroots level while drawing attention to the vital contribution of MSMEs to the domestic economy.

The timing is equally strategic, with MSMEs already looking ahead at the upcoming Puregold Tindahan Ni Aling Puring Sari-Sari Store Convention in May. The annual event has become a key platform for sari-sari store owners, entrepreneurs, and partner suppliers, underscoring Puregold’s enduring commitment to small business development and ecosystem growth.
