Secrets Unmasked in New Episode of Puregold’s “Ang Babae Sa Likod ng Face Mask”

Tweet

After a highly successful premiere on the Puregold Channel, romantic-comedy series ‘Ang Babae Sa Likod ng Face Mask’ continues to excite in its upcoming second episode as interesting developments unravel in the life of its lead characters.

The premiere garnered thousands of views online as romcom fans flocked to see the budding romance between Herlene Budol’s Malta and Joseph Marco’s Sieg. In the premiere we got to know Malta, a young woman who is labelled “hipon.” Malta works at a local café to help pay the mounting household bills and support her mother, a struggling vlogger named Madam Baby, played by Mickey Ferriols.

While working at the café, Malta runs into Sieg, a handsome young man who is smarting from a recent breakup. Enchanted by Malta’s beautiful eyes, Sieg is immediately smitten.

Viewers excitedly gushed about the new series, noting the strong chemistry between the duo. Marife Dayro wrote, “Grabeee, lakas maka-good vibes at kilig much sa tambalang Herlene Budol at Joseph Marco!”

Other fans chimed in, complimenting the perfect pairing of Herlene and Joseph. “Ganda NG chemistry nila bagy n bagy cla ❤ luv it!” Mark Anthony Agustin commented,

The wonderful performance of Herlene—and those of the rest of the cast—stood out. “Grabe ang galing galing na ni Hipon when it comes sa acting, at ang ganda ganda na din niya,” an obviously thrilled Jamaica Surtido noted. Meanwhile, viewer Chiarina Mosquito praised the entire cast by writing, “Yayy!! I super love Herlene and all the cast. Bravo ang gagaling nila. Nakakatanggal ng stress, nakakatuwa panoorin.”

However, one sentiment clearly stood out as viewers expressed their support for ‘Ang Babae Sa Likod ng Face Mask’. As Michelle Bernardo put it in YouTube, “Cant wait for the next episode!!!”

Malta works to pay the bills at home as her mother focuses on vlogging.

Madam Baby owns and operates her own sari-sari store.
 

Where Episode 1 showed how Malta and Sieg hit it off from the start, the upcoming episode will bare the emotional conflicts that could get in the way of their happiness. Will Malta and Sieg have a chance on friendship? Or relationship? Will they meet again?

Malta eagerly anticipates Sieg potentially returning to the café.

Sieg finds himself searching for Malta online.

Madam Baby’s struggle to pay the bills continues in episode 2.

Will Sieg find out what Malta is hiding?

More details about Sieg’s past will come to the surface in episode 2.

Find out in the latest episode of “Ang Babae sa Likod ng Face Mask” on the official YouTube Puregold Channel on Saturdays, 7 PM. For more updates, like @puregold.shopping on Facebook, follow @puregold_ph on Instagram and Twitter, and subscribe to Puregold Channel on YouTube.

AXA Philippines and GrowSari offer free insurance to sari-sari store owners

Tweet

Many small businesses like sari-sari stores are constantly at risk of encountering financial challenges. According to the World Bank, at least 81 percent of informal retailers like sari-sari stores suffered job losses at the height of the pandemic in 2020. With a relatively small capital, which they use to sustain daily operations, these micro enterprises are badly affected when the owner gets sick or hospitalized, especially when this is their main source of income.

AXA Philippines and GrowSari representatives during the memorandum of agreement signing. The partnership will offer free life insurance and a Daily Hospital Income benefit for Gold members of GrowSari’s Loyalty Program.

To help sari-sari store owners and their families during health emergencies, AXA Philippines, one of the country’s leading insurance providers, recently partnered with GrowSari, a tech-enabled B2B platform that supports MSMEs in the Philippines, including sari-sari stores, carinderias, pharmacies, and other roadside and market shops, to provide protection during emergency situations by offering free insurance coverage to member sari-sari store owners. The coverage includes a death benefit as well as a Daily Hospital Income (DHI) benefit in case of hospitalization.

“Our partnership with GrowSari is in line with our advocacy of providing better protection and financial literacy among micro, small, and medium enterprise owners. Through this partnership, we hope we can better the lives of Filipino entrepreneurs amid this pandemic and beyond,” said Alok Rungta, AXA Philippines Chief of Retail Proposition.

Attesting to this was Mai Mai Punzalan, GrowSari Chief Marketing Officer, who said, “It’s important, in terms of financial inclusion to drive awareness and education among MSMEs such as sari-sari store owners, to let them know that there are a lot of financial products that can help them during health emergencies. We are happy to have this partnership with AXA Philippines because their mission of promoting health and protection is aligned with the more secure future we envision for sari-sari store owners.”

The free insurance coverage is part of GrowSari’s Loyalty Program that is available to its Gold members who opt to be part of the program. It offers life insurance worth P35,000, as well as a DHI benefit amounting to P1,500 for 3 days of confinement. The DHI helps alleviate the burden of income loss should the beneficiary need to be confined in the hospital.

From only 1,000 members in 2018, GrowSari’s members grew to 50,000 at the height of the pandemic in 2020, and doubled in number in 2021 to 100,000 active stores in 220 municipalities. The partnership with AXA has so far protected over a thousand GrowSari members, as more sari-sari store owners embrace the importance of insurance in ensuring a more secure and safer future for their families.
