Why Running Crews Are Becoming the New Social Circles for Young Filipinos

Tweet

“See you tonight” can mean something different when your friends are part of a running crew. The meeting spot is a starting point, the plan is a few kilometers together, and catching up happens along the route. It could be a quick run after work or a late-night race that keeps the group out well past its usual bedtime.

For some Gen Zs and Millennials, running is becoming part of their social life, not just their fitness routine. It gives them a reason to step away from their desks, see familiar faces, and experience the city after dark with people who make showing up easier. And when the run is over, there is still time to linger, talk about how it went, and make plans for the next one.

Running crews are becoming a place to build friendships around a shared routine. The run itself might be a chance to chase a personal best or clear your head after a long day. Just as often, the reason to show up is knowing someone will be there to run alongside you.

That mix of movement and connection is at the heart of HOKA Midnight Run which brings runners and crews together at night, offering a different kind of social experience of where the energy of an evening out carries through every kilometer.

When Running Becomes Part of the Nightlife

A night run gives people more to look forward to than the distance ahead as crews meet up before the start, encourage one another along the route, and linger afterward to cool down and trade stories. Someone might be chasing a faster time; someone else might simply be glad they made it after a long day. Both have a place in the group.

HOKA Midnight Run brings that social side of running into the city after dark. Music and the energy of fellow runners make the evening feel like a night out, while the run gives everyone something to experience together. Friends can push one another toward the finish line, then stay to celebrate the effort whether it was a personal best or a first race.

It is those moments around the run that make people want to come back. The distance gives them a goal for the night and everyone they share it with gives them a reason to show up for the next one.For HOKA, the race is one part of a larger running culture shaped by crews, recovery routines, and the friendships that keep people showing up. HOKA Midnight Run celebrates those everyday connections alongside the excitement of race night.

That spirit reflects HOKA’s Fly Everyday philosophy: movement can help people feel connected and balanced in their daily lives, whatever their pace or goal. As running communities grow, they offer a social circle where people can pursue their own progress while moving alongside others.

Keep Moving Through the Night

HOKA Midnight Run continues in Cebu, Iloilo, and Clark, inviting more runners to experience the city after dark with a crew beside them. Whether you are chasing a personal goal, bringing a friend to their first race, or looking for people to run with, each leg offers a chance to take part.

For a growing number of young Filipinos, a night run is becoming a way to make plans, build friendships, and find a place to belong. That is what makes the next run worth showing up for: the distance you cover together, and the people you look forward to seeing again.

Home Credit Builds Futures Beyond Classrooms, Transforming Lives and Strengthening Community Resilience in Typhoon-hit Catanduanes

Tweet

Together with All Hands & Hearts and Happy Hearts Czech, Home Credit contributed to building futures beyond classrooms by strengthening education, resilience, and opportunities for underserved communities

Employees of Home Credit Philippines work together to revitalize learning spaces at Salvacion Elementary School as part of the company's community outreach initiatives

For more than a decade, Home Credit Philippines has been helping Filipinos move closer to a more rewarding life through accessible financial solutions while creating meaningful impact beyond financing through initiatives that advance education, support communities, and foster long-term resilience.

Bringing this commitment to life, Home Credit partnered with All Hands & Hearts (AH&H) and Happy Hearts Czech—whose instrumental support helped build and facilitate this partnership—to transform Salvacion Elementary School in Catanduanes into a safer, more resilient learning environment while equipping the wider community with the learning infrastructure, skills, and support needed to thrive for years to come. This six-month initiative, which culminated in July 2026, reflects Home Credit's commitment to building futures beyond classrooms and creating sustainable opportunities for the typhoon-affected school and community of Salvacion.

For years, recurring typhoons left the school vulnerable to damage, disrupting learning, and affecting both students and teachers. Through Home Credit's support, four disaster-resilient classrooms were built, five classrooms were repaired, and critical facilities including sanitation infrastructure, a water filtration and drinking station, electrical upgrades, furniture, and a new playground were provided. These improvements now benefit 115 students and nine school staff members, creating a safer and more conducive environment for learning.

But for Home Credit, building futures means going beyond infrastructure. Recognizing that resilient communities are built through empowerment, the company also supported a range of programs designed to strengthen disaster preparedness, well-being, and self-reliance of the community.

Through the initiative,

• · 393 students, teachers, and community members received disaster preparedness training
• · 126 beneficiaries participated in child protection programs
• · 78 community members attended menstrual hygiene management workshops
• · 4 women completed female mason training, equipping them with valuable skills that can support future livelihood opportunities and local recovery efforts.

"At Home Credit, we believe that true empowerment begins with creating opportunities for people to learn, grow, and build better lives," said Jana Pechouckova, Senior Vice President of Home Credit Philippines. "Through this partnership with All Hands & Hearts, we are investing not only in safer classrooms but also in stronger, more resilient communities. When children have access to quality learning environments and communities are equipped to face future challenges, we create opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom."

Students at Salvacion Elementary School settle into their newly renovated classroom, designed to provide a safer and more inspiring learning environment.

The partnership also lays the foundation for long-term community development. With improved facilities and renewed confidence within the community, Salvacion Elementary School is planning to expand access to learning by offering educational opportunities for adults who were unable to complete their formal education, creating new pathways for personal and economic growth.

"Recovery is not just about rebuilding infrastructures; it's about restoring opportunities and strengthening communities for the future," said Kez Burrows, Program Director at All Hands & Hearts. "Home Credit's support enabled us to deliver meaningful and lasting impact in Salvacion, helping create safer learning spaces while empowering community members with the knowledge and skills needed to build resilience for the coming times."

The initiative forms part of Home Credit's broader commitment to creating positive social impact through purpose-driven partnerships that address real community needs. By working alongside organizations such as All Hands & Hearts, the company will continue to help communities recover, grow stronger, and unlock opportunities for future generations.

"The success of this partnership reinforces our belief that lasting change happens when organizations come together around a shared purpose," Pechouckova added. "As we look ahead, Home Credit remains committed to pursuing more partnerships that empower communities, strengthen resilience, and create opportunities for Filipinos across the country.”

Little Things, Big Moments: Redefining What It Means to Indulge Yourself This Holiday Season

Tweet

​Life can be brimming with so many things for many moms. Especially during the holidays when responsibilities, errands, and demands seem to double (if not triple!), taking the time to indulge in a moment that’s strictly your own can feel almost next to impossible.

Moms like May Estrada make sure to take time to sit back, indulge and celebrate herself.

​Yet this is a much-needed time that everyone needs. For moms, especially, having a moment where you can sit back and indulge can make all the difference not only for you, but for the people around you in the long run.

​Here’s why: when you take time to celebrate yourself, you also make space in creating moments that you can share with those who matter. As the old adage says, ‘You cannot pour from an empty cup.’ When we feel recharged, rewarded, and celebrated, it comes more naturally for us to outpour the same energy to those who orbit around us.

​With the holidays just in the horizon, this is the perfect time for us to remember what the season really all is about. While it may be a time to honor and spoil our loved ones, it’s also a moment to indulge one of the most important people who deserves to be celebrated: YOU.

​Little things, Big Moments

​One of the biggest misconceptions in life is that you can only indulge once you’ve accomplished a big goal. When it comes to rewarding yourself, no task is too small to be celebrated. Did you finish your Christmas shopping early or managed to have all the gifts wrapped and ribboned? That’s a win, especially on top of your usual business, and deserves to be celebrated!

​It’s easy to underestimate these moments while caught up in our daily routines especially during the hustle and bustle of the holidays, yet when put together, they are also the ones that make up the best of our day-to-day life. By celebrating them, we find the special in the ordinary and make better moments, memories, and experiences in the long run.

The Art of Indulging

​You might say: “I want to reward myself, but I don’t have the time to do it!” The reality, however, is that Indulging doesn’t mean you have to pull out the bells and whistles to celebrate something. Just like how life’s biggest wins can happen in the most mundane moments, you can also turn an everyday moment into one that feels rewarding for you.

​It’s all about knowing what simple delights can turn an experience into a special one. For many of us, for example, having an indulgent treat can instantly turn an ordinary occasion into something memorable—and yes, this applies even during the holidays where there seems to be misconception that you need to go all out to truly honor the season. Did you manage to put up the Christmas tree in time with the rest of the family? Invite them to enjoy your favorite ice cream to celebrate! Or maybe, you want to have a tub to yourself under the mistletoe. Whatever your choice is, it’s these moments that make memories even more indulgent when you look back into them.

​When you make simple habits like this a practice, you also master the art of sharing simple indulgences with others, holidays or not. You start to learn how to make your own moments special not only for you but for the people around you. All of a sudden, indulging with family, friends, and loved ones can feel just as special when you share a tub of ice cream together.

​A Nestle Ice Cream for Every Moment

​Are you looking for the best treat to make your moments extra indulgent these holidays? Nestle Temptations has something for everyone. Classic flavors like Vanilla, Chocolate, Ube, and Mango are perfect for those quick moments you want to celebrate in between small wins, with their simple yet extra-creamy goodness, while Supreme flavors like Double Dutch, Cookies & Cream, Rocky Road, and Almond Brownie Fudge are best to indulge with your loved ones during your Noche Buena with their rich and scrumptious taste.

​Need something with a bit more of a twist? Nestle Temptations also has Sundaes in Salted Caramel, Classic Affogato, Mango, Cheesecake and 2-in-1 variants that can make any moment a memorable one.

​We don’t always need to do something big to indulge. Sometimes, the best moments can be made by something that reminds us that every day is worth celebrating–like a scoop of your favorite ice cream. Whether you want to keep these times for yourself or share it with those dear to you, all of these deserve their special moment this holiday season.

You can grab your favorite Nestle Temptations Ice Cream flavor at Robinson’s, Alfamart, Shopwise, The Marketplace, Waltermart, and SM Hypermarket.

Brave Ahead: Bimby Aquino Takes Charge of Family Care as iCare HMO Brand Ambassador

Tweet

Filipinos have watched Bimby Aquino grow up in the public eye. Now stepping into adulthood at 19, he is making a major milestone: choosing his first official brand endorsement as an adult - partnering with iCare, an HMO with one of the country’s widest healthcare provider networks.

For Bimby, choosing healthcare for his entry into adulthood is deeply personal. Raised in a household that navigated his mother Kris Aquino’s ongoing battle with autoimmune illnesses, he developed an early understanding of health protection and medical accessibility.

“But health should not be a privilege, nor should it be a struggle. It should be a given,” he says. “I’m partnering with iCare because every family deserves the care we fought so hard for.”

Having experienced firsthand what access to healthcare can mean for a family, Bimby believes it should not be limited to those who can easily afford it.

From Cared For to Provider

For years, Filipinos saw Bimby as the child being protected by those around him. Today, adulthood means having the agency to give that protection back.

As part of his new chapter, Bimby secured iCare HMO coverage not only for himself and his brother, but also for members of their household staff who helped raise him over the years

“Even if we’re not blood-related, they took care of us. They’re really part of my family and they deserve to have that right to be healthy. “I love having freedom to provide for my mom and brother. It feels nice to be a responsible member of the family,” he furthered.

The decision makes his first adult endorsement more than a career milestone. It reflects the kind of adult Bimby wants to become: a loving son and brother who remembers the people who helped raise him and, when given the opportunity, chooses to care for them in return.

Brave Ahead into the Future

The partnership anchors iCare’s “Brave Ahead” campaign, encouraging young Filipinos taking their first career steps - whether earning their first paycheck or assuming family responsibilities - to prioritize health security early.

“My mom always told me that if you don’t take care of your health at an early age, your health problems might catch up to you. So, I believe that as early as you can, make sure that your health is well taken care of,” he reflects.

iCare HMO Individual and Family Plans allow principal enrollment starting at age 18, offering coverage for outpatient check-ups, annual physical exams, inpatient hospitalization and accredited emergency care based on plan selection,

For Bimby, being Brave Ahead isn’t about having everything figured out, it's about having the foresight to protect the people who matter most.
