There are still
several days until Christmas, yet the season is already very much alive
everywhere in the country. While the last few years may have been a little less
jolly,
GCash, the country’s leading e-wallet app, is bringing back the magic to
the holidays with a little help from Philippine entertainment’s new leading
man.
Joshua Garcia has
been heating up televisions across the country with his starring role as Brian
Robles in “Mars Ravelo’s Darna” and an upcoming landmark deal for Dreamscape
production’s “Unbreak My Heart”. Adding
to his already impressive list of milestones is his new role as the face of
GCash to celebrate a Merry G Christmas and uphold what truly warms his heart –
traditions with his family and friends.
“The family
tradition I look forward to every Christmas is our family reunion wherein my
family spends Christmas together,” he said. “We take advantage of the time we
can have our bonding during this season when we are not too busy with work with
some games and a simple feast for the whole family.”
Christmas Magic Lives On
Just like many
Filipinos, Christmas for Joshua becomes truly magical when spent with the right
people.
“My most magical
Christmas experience was when I was living in the province and I went caroling
in our neighborhood with my friends. Afterwards, we attended the Simbang Gabi
with our family. I’m really glad that I got to experience Christmas that way,”
he said.
Of course, part
of any Christmas celebration is hunting for the perfect gifts for your loved ones.
But despite his high-profile stature, Joshua stays humble and opts for
meaningful gifts and thoughtful spending.
“To find the most
meaningful Christmas gifts for my loved ones, I always think about what they
really need at that time so the gifts are useful and that, through those gifts,
they will also remember me somehow,” Joshua said. “I don’t really give very
expensive gifts. As long as they make them happy, then I am, too.”
Gift-giving, the Joshua way
With the long
list of celebrations lined up for Joshua this Christmas, looking for these
useful items will be a big task. His secret? He does his shopping with GCash.
According to the
actor: “One of my favorite GCash services is GLife because there are lots of merchants to choose from. It is a
one-stop shop for a quick purchase of my favorite products and services. It is
very timely since Christmas season is almost here, I can definitely use it for
my Christmas shopping to buy gifts for my loved ones.”
Thanks to GCash,
Christmas shopping can be a magical experience in itself, especially when you
get cashbacks and discounts from the GCash
Online Bazaar from Nov. 28 to January 5, 2023. You can conveniently pay through your GCash wallet, pay later
through GCredit, or pay in
installment with GGives.
Though many
Filipinos will celebrate with their families this year, there are still some
who wouldn’t be able to enjoy family reunions like Joshua and might spend time
apart during the holidays. Despite the distance, GCash makes sure that everyone
can send Christmas cheer wherever your loved ones may be.
You can send
pamasko to anyone anywhere through Send
Money for other GCash users, Bank
Transfer or GCash Padala for
non-GCash users, or Send with a Clip
to attach a special message to your Aguinaldo. If actual presents are your
thing, you can also shop online with GLife and pay for your gifts on GCash.
And because GCash
wants everyone’s Christmas to be truly magical, every gift given through GCash
becomes a gift for yourself, too.
For every PHP 100
spent using GCash services or when using GLoan, GGives, and GCredit, users can
earn parols and enter the Merry GCash
raffle. Raffle draws will be done on December 5 and December 19 where GCash
will be giving away five iPhone 14 phones, five Macbook Air M1 laptops and five
Sony PS5 Playstations. Sixty-five lucky winners will also take home P10,000
worth of e-fuel cards from Petron, P10,000 worth of Mercury Drugstore gift
certificates, P20,000 worth of IKEA gift cards and P30,000 worth of SM
Appliances gift cards.
With so many ways
to hunt and shop for gifts, Joshua leaves his fans with just one piece of advice:
“To be honest, I think for me what’s more important is that every time I give
my loved ones gifts, they are pleased with what they received, whether they may
be simple or otherwise.”
