From selecting the perfect destination to organizing the entire itinerary, every detail counts when planning the ultimate summer adventure. Travel besties Cocoy Lim and Justine Sy make sure they have a truly unforgettable adventure with the best experiences. Their secret? They use GCash and its features in all aspects of their trips, from planning to making payments, no matter where they are. Check out these top tips from Cocoy and Justine for you to plan out your next summer adventure!

Tip #1: Don’t forget to get GInsure Travel Insurance for your luggages

When it comes to affordable travel insurance, Cocoy and Justine ensure they’re financially protected before being on the go by getting GInsure Travel Insurance. Within the GInsure dashboard of the GCash app, you can find different insurance products to suit your needs, including GInsure Travel Insurance for as low as Php 350.

Filipinos can benefit from having protection against unexpected travel expenses resulting from trip delays and cancellations, loss and damage to baggage, accidents, and illnesses. Coverage does not include skilled laborers traveling for employment, high-risk occupations, or one-way trips.

“As a frequent traveler, it’s better to be safe than sorry, especially if you have delayed flights or any issues that are travel-related!” shares Justine.

Tip #2: Simplify your planning by using GCash to Pay Online

GCash helps you plan out your trips through its various partners offering special deals at great prices. If you’re shopping for all your summer style needs, you can enjoy special offers on TikTok Shop when you pay with GCash.

Meanwhile, you can find exciting deals for various summer experiences and activities via Klook. You can also use GCash online to pay when you Buy Load for Globe and TM to ensure you stay connected wherever you go.

Cocoy shares, “In my experience, I just tell my friends or travel companions, GCash ko nalang, ha! That means that you’ll just transfer your payments to that person! This just shows how cashless transactions are the way to go. No need to make sure that you have the exact change for the payment, or if you have enough cash to pay!”

Stay on the lookout for more Mega Summer deals this season, so you can venture into new destinations and make lasting memories with your travel besties.

Tip #3: Maximize the ways to pay with GCash

Justine and Cocoy's recent cashless summer experience in La Union with GCash exemplifies the seamless integration of the finance super app into local travels. The trip highlighted how users can go cashless in one of the country’s most popular summer destinations as they used GCash to Scan to Pay – from dining at trendy restaurants to exploring various attractions and even while going from one destination to another.

Justine explains, “[GCash is so] convenient. Let’s be real, 2024 na, not a lot of people are carrying cash with them, but 10/10 times they have their phone! I’m glad to know La Union is adapting to this. Pati yung tricycle drivers naka GCash, which is convenient!”

Meanwhile, if your summer travels are taking you out of the country, GCash gives you the option to pay cashless with the GCash Card.

Cocoy adds, “The all new GCash Card is my newest travel must-have! I first tried using it when I went to Hong Kong recently, and I was able to withdraw cash, pay for things, and enjoy a low FOREX rate pa!”

SB19, BINI, SunKissed Lola, Flow G & Puregold debut the ultimate OPM collaboration with the “Nasa Atin ang Panalo” music video

Tweet

After weeks of building anticipation and dropping hints on their social media platforms, Puregold has finally unveiled the music video to the new song “Nasa Atin ang Panalo.”

Released this past May 25, the video is a must-watch for Pinoy pop fans. It serves as the ultimate collaboration of four of the country’s most sizzling musical acts: SB19, BINI, SunKissed Lola, and Flow G.

“These four artists are the powerhouse acts in Philippine music today. Collaborating with them is an excellent opportunity to reinforce Puregold's brand message,” said Vincent Co, President of Puregold Price Club, Inc. “Puregold proudly celebrates their achievements and is dedicated to continuously uplifting Filipino talent. And as we look forward to our 500th store milestone, it’s a privilege to have these artists produce a song that authentically represents our core values.”

The music video shows all four acts together singing and dancing along in a stylized Puregold store. They flaunt their diverse talents: harmonizing, dancing to exciting choreography, playing instrumental solos, or, in the case of Flow G, writing and rapping their own verses.

Beyond just the monumental feat of having all four mega acts in a single music video for the same song, “Nasa Atin ang Panalo” also celebrates the people of Puregold. Dancing alongside them and sharing the spotlight in the music video are the everyday shoppers and store staff that keep Puregold a running success from day to day. Puregold’s very own Aling Puring even makes an appearance to jam with the country’s biggest stars.

The song perfectly captures the “panalo” spirit that has defined Puregold’s long history in the retail business. Beyond that, it also speaks to the “panalo” stories of the artists involved in creating it. Each one has come into this project with their own stories of success.

SunKissed Lola’s relentless ascent in the industry affirms their commitment to turning dreams into reality. BINI’s growth and coming-of-age narrative serves as a reminder of the profound value of transformation and evolution over time. Flow G’s unwavering determination in the face of constant obstacles demonstrates his resilience and resolve to forge ahead. SB19’s journey, filled with triumphs and trials, is a powerful example of the ability to bounce back and confront each new day.

The collaborative song combines all of these elements in a single that can be enjoyed online now and soon on streaming platforms like Spotify.

Excitingly for Pinoy pop fans, there’s even more looming on the horizon. All four artists have already teased solo tracks that will soon drop with Puregold in the forthcoming weeks. Each new original song will dive further into the artists’ individual qualities that have allowed them to reach their “always panalo” dreams. Fans are encouraged to keep a close eye on Puregold’s social media accounts for further developments.
