Mini. Mini. Miney. More: Turn Any Maya Credit Card Purchase into Mini Payment

Tweet

Some purchases are worth saying yes to: a long-awaited trip, a new laptop, a home upgrade, or even a month packed with celebrations. The good news? Paying for them doesn't always have to happen all at once.

Maya, the country's #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform, is making it easier than ever to manage bigger purchases with the launch of Mini Payments. Available to Maya Black Credit Card and Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card holders, the feature allows eligible posted purchases to be converted into monthly mini payments directly within the Maya app.

Unlike traditional installment offers that are often tied to specific merchants or promo periods, Mini Payments puts the decision in your hands. Eligible purchases can be converted after they've already been made—no waiting for a sale, no hunting for partner merchants, and no need to plan purchases around promotional periods.

Cardholders can split eligible posted purchases into 3, 6, 9, or 12 monthly payments, all with a fixed 1% monthly interest rate regardless of term. Approval can happen within 24 hours, and everything, from payment schedules to remaining balances, can be viewed and tracked directly in the Maya app.

 

To get started, your total converted amount simply needs to meet the minimum per plan: ₱3,000 for 3 months, ₱6,000 for 6 months, ₱9,000 for 9 months, and ₱12,000 for 12 months. There’s no minimum per individual transaction. Eligible purchases can be combined, as long as the total amount meets the minimum required for your chosen plan, giving you more control over how you choose to convert your purchases. Create your own sample simulations on possible Mini Payment plans by using the Mini Payments calculator.

 

And for a limited time, Mini Payments created until September 30, 2026 come with zero processing fees, making it even easier to try the feature for yourself.

 

Getting started is simple:

·         Open the Maya app and go to your Credit Card transactions

·         Select any eligible posted transaction you'd like to convert

·         Choose your preferred 3, 6, 9, or 12-month payment plan

·         Review the payment breakdown and tap "Continue" to confirm

 

The app clearly displays your monthly payments, total interest, and payment schedule before confirmation, giving you full visibility before making a decision.

 

By spreading out eligible purchases into manageable monthly payments, Mini Payments helps cardholders better align spending with their budgets and cash flow, giving them more flexibility when it matters most.

To know more, visit maya.ph or mayabank.ph, and follow @makeyourmoneymaya on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok to stay updated. Approval and offer are subject to credit evaluation. Maya Philippines, Inc. and Maya Bank, Inc. are regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. www.bsp.gov.ph. For 24/7 assistance, visit the Help Center in the Maya app or call us from 8 AM to 7 PM daily at +632 8845-7788.

One Charge, Endless Power: realme Teases the C100 Series with Up to 8000mAh Titan Battery

Tweet

Launching on June 18, the new Series combines long-lasting battery life, Military-grade Shock Protection, and dependable performance for daily use.

realme Philippines is gearing up for the launch of the realme C100 Series on June 18, and ahead of the big reveal, the brand is giving a first look at what the lineup is all about. Anchored on the tagline “One Charge, Endless Power,” the C100 Series is built around two things Filipinos consistently look for in a smartphone: a battery that goes the distance and a build that holds up over time.

The realme C100 comes equipped with an 8000mAh Titan Battery, while the realme C100i carries a 7000mAh cell. Both are designed to deliver up to 1.5 days of use on a single charge, but what stands out is their long-term battery health – the realme C100 is rated to retain at least 80% capacity after 7 years of daily use, and the C100i after 6 years. The brand attributes this to its highly efficient energy consumption technology, which reduces battery wear over time without compromising on performance.

On the durability front, both models come with realme’s ArmorShell™ Protection and have been certified under the MIL-STD-810H military-grade shock resistance standard, with a verified drop resistance of up to 2 meters. The realme C100 takes protection further with IP69 Pro rating, making it resistant to dust, submersion, and even high-pressure water jets. The realme C100i is rated IP64, covering everyday splashes and dust exposure.

The Series also comes in a range of colorways. The realme C100 will be available in Glory White, Endurance Brown, and Victory Purple, all featuring realme’s Blooming Design, a shimmer finish crafted with micron-level sculpting that shifts with light. Meanwhile, the realme C100i comes in Dawn Purple and Dusk Gray.

The realme C100 Series will be officially unveiled on June 18 via a livestream on realme’s official Facebook page. Pricing and full details will be announced on launch day.

Chevron Batangas Terminal supports sea turtle hatching and population growth

Tweet

Olive Ridley sea turtle hatchlings emerge at the Chevron Batangas Terminal.

Batangas, Philippines — Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI) successfully released 146 sea turtle hatchlings into open waters recently, bringing the total number of turtles nurtured through the program to 4,261 over the years. Each release represents a meaningful step toward supporting the growth of the species in Batangas and maintaining balance within the local marine ecosystem.

This milestone is part of CPI’s sustained commitment to environmental stewardship, anchored in nearly two decades of coastal cleanup initiatives along its Batangas terminal. These efforts have helped transform sections of the shoreline into safer nesting grounds for Olive Ridley sea turtles—a species increasingly threatened by illegal trade and plastic pollution. By maintaining cleaner, more protected coastal environments, CPI continues to support conditions where marine life can thrive.

Chevron’s annual coastal cleanup program reflects its broader approach to sustainability and responsible operations. Beyond its role as an energy provider, the company remains committed to initiatives that advance environmental protection while contributing to the long-term well-being of host communities across the Philippines.
