Kathryn Bernardo shares how she's making her Christmas more special and 'panalo'

Tweet

Fresh from the blockbuster success of her recent movie, "Hello, Love, Again," TNT KaTropa Kathryn Bernardo is looking to make Christmas extra special by spending the holidays with her family.

“Ang importante naman ay ‘yung makakasama mo sa Pasko. We’ll keep it very simple, so you’re hopefully surrounded with love and good energy, and sana ‘yun yung makuha ko this year. This will be our first Christmas in our new house so nandito kami Christmas at New Year,” she said.

Kathryn revealed that this Christmas will be all about a simple dinner, exchange of gifts, and a family photo shot in their first Christmas in their new home.

“Hindi na kami makikipagsabay sa mga umaalis na tao this year. The past few months medyo dire-diretso ang work ko so I just want to stay home, get some rest, and then bond with my family. We’ll keep it very simple,” she said.

Kathryn’s ideal Christmas would not be complete if she couldn’t get hold of her friends and loved ones abroad, so she relies on her phone to easily stay connected through messages, impromptu catchups via video calls, and sharing of photos and videos real-time.

"We're very lucky dahil using our smartphones, it's so much easier now to get in touch with our KaTropas and loved ones to share the warmth of our love this Christmas - anytime and anywhere," Kathryn said.

"Sa simpleng pag-share ng greetings, stories, video messages, pwedeng gawing panalo ang Pasko kasama ang mga mahal natin sa buhay," she added.

Now, TNT subscribers around the country also have more reasons to connect with their KaTropas this Christmas because the more they load up TNT SAYA ALL 99, the more entries they can earn and accumulate in the ongoing TNT Paskong Panalo Raffle Promo.

TNT subscribers have until Dec. 28 to join the exciting promo for a chance to be among the 5 lucky winners of Php1 million each in the grand raffle draw (TNT will draw one grand winner each from North and Central Luzon; NCR; South Luzon; Visayas; and Mindanao), making their Christmas extra special and memorable.

Home Credit PH celebrates 11th anniversary, honors loyal customers and continues innovative financing services

Tweet

Home Credit Philippines (HCPH)  recently celebrates its 11th year of establishment marking over a decade of being the Filipinos’ financial ally and providing accessible and reliable financing services to its customers.

------------------------------------------------------------

Home Credit PH welcomes its anniversay celebration with its theme "Salamat sa tiwala"

-----------------------------------------------------------

As it enters a new era of service, HCPH remains firm in its commitment to providing its customers with financing access. It continues to develop innovative financing solutions and credit opportunities to enable Filipinos to achieve their goals and to adapt to the changing financial landscape through various credit products and value-added services.

In its 11th year and having served 11 million customers, HCPH is dedicated to being the financial ally of every Filipino, empowering them at every stage of their lives. The company has diligently expanded its sales networks nationwide, reaching 75 out of 81 provinces to make its solutions accessible to those who need them the most.

A celebration of milestones and trust

As HCPH welcomed its 11th year of service, the company commemorated the occasion with an event highlighting its users’ tiwala for the brand. The affair showcased and thanked its customers who have trusted HCPH throughout the years and honored those who have remained loyal since the company was launched in 2013.

Eleven of the company’s loyal customers were recognized during a program held at Trinoma’s Activity Center on Oct 25. These patrons have availed of 11 or more products from HCPH. As a token of appreciation, they were each given a P20,000 cheque, had the opportunity to bond with HCPH’s brand ambassador Marian Rivera, and were serenaded by guest band Nobita.

“At Home Credit, we believe in building lasting partnerships with our customers. Our loyal customers are the heart of our brand, and their continued support has paved the way for our continued success in the past ten years. As we now welcome a new year of service, their trust serves as our fuel to grow and their support propels us to continue innovating our financial solutions,” Sheila Paul, HCPH Chief Marketing Officer, remarked.

A partnership built on trust

One of HCPH’s guests during its anniversary event was the Kapuso Primetime Queen herself, Marian Rivera, who, apart from bonding with the crowd and HCPH’s 11 loyal customers, was there to announce her partnership renewal with the company.

A brand ambassador for more than a year now, Marian agreed to continue her reign as the face of the country’s leading consumer finance company for two more years. Her return isn't just a routine endorsement—it's a bold statement about trust and her unwavering commitment to a brand that empowers Filipinos.

“A trusted brand ambassador is more than just a face—they are a reflection of the values and integrity that drive one’s brand’s growth. When a respected individual endorses our company, it sends a powerful message to our customers that their trust is valued, and their well-being is a priority.

This renewal of the partnership with Marian, who is known for her credibility and longevity in the entertainment industry aligns with Home Credit’s drive for trust and our commitment to being the Filipinos’ financial ally,” Paul added.

A financial ally in times of need

As the Filipinos’ trusted financial ally, and as part of its commitment to empowering them at every stage of their life, HCPH also recognizes its role in standing by its customers and communities in times of need.

As part of its immediate response to the recent typhoon that has impacted many lives across the country, HCPH also announced during the event that it will be making a financial contribution to a trusted charity close to Marian’s heart, the GMA Kapuso Foundation, to support relief efforts for those who were affected.

“Home Credit is committed to assisting those in need. Apart from our donation, we hope that our products, such as Home Credit Protect, will provide some relief during this difficult time. Whether it’s through home coverage plans or loan flexibility features, we want our customers to know that we are here to support them through every challenge,” Zdenek Jankovsky, HCPH Chief Business Development Officer, concluded.

5 things to do in 22 minutes while charging your Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G

Tweet

Smartphones are part of our everyday life. From the moment we wake up to when we finally sleep, we use our devices to check updates and entertain ourselves. But the fun stops when the battery goes red.

Fortunately, you don’t have to worry about zero battery level with the Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G. Made with 100W Fast Charge + 20W Wireless Charge capabilities, you can charge your phone to 100% in just 22 minutes.

Charging your phone also gives you the chance to do quick errands or watch something while waiting. 22 minutes might not be a long time, but it’s enough to get things done, such as:

Watch an Ivana Alawi video

Vlogger and actress Ivana Alawi loves to share her adventures, challenges, and celebrity interviews with her 17.7 million subscribers on YouTube. As the newest Infinix brand ambassador, it’s only fitting that you watch an Ivana video on your laptop, which is usually about 20 minutes long, while charging your Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G.

“I do everything on my phone, as in! Sobrang ganda ng Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G kasi I can do everything,” Ivana Alawi says of the new Infinix phone’s fast-charging capabilities.

Make a one-pot rice cooker meal from TikTok

Rice is life, and preparing a quick and easy meal using a rice cooker has grown in popularity on TikTok. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to prep the rice and ingredients, and cooking them in one pot. So, you’ll get a fully charged phone and a freshly cooked meal–it’s a win-win.

Get glammed up

The time spent to do a full face of makeup depends on the person. Surveys reveal that the average time for a woman to do her makeup is 30 minutes or less (it’s 20 minutes for guys), so pick up that makeup brush and get glammed up. Once your Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G is charged, you can start taking selfies!

Listen to “All Too Well” (10 Minute Version) twice

If you’re a true Swiftie, you won’t get tired of listening to the 10-minute version of “All Too Well.” The breakup track is said to be one of Taylor Swift’s best songs, as she takes listeners through the journey of a relationship from the beginning to the heartbreaking end. The 10-minute version is 10:13 long, so you can play it twice and be #senti while waiting for your Infinix NOTE 40 Pro+ 5G to charge up.

Work out and catch up on steps
