Give yourself the gift of more! Home Credit shares five reasons to reward yourself this Holiday season

Tweet

The Christmas season is here! For Filipinos, it's not just another holiday—it's the most anticipated time of the year. The start of the “-ber” months marks the beginning of festive lights, holiday music, and an unshakeable excitement in the air. It's a season of giving, love, and celebration; and a time to show appreciation to the people who mean the most to us: our family, friends, and loved ones.

But this year, let’s not forget someone who deserves a little extra love too—YOU.

As the country’s leading consumer finance company, Home Credit Philippines believes in the importance of rewarding yourself during this special time of year.

Here are five reasons why you should prioritize yourself too this holiday season:

You've worked hard all year. Let's face it, the daily grind can sometimes take a toll. From enduring long hours, navigating work challenges, to managing household responsibilities, you've given it your all. The holiday season is the perfect time to pause and recognize your hard work. It's not just about giving to others but also rewarding yourself for the countless challenges you've overcome this year.

It’s the season for joy, and you deserve some of it too. The holidays are meant to bring happiness, and while it’s wonderful to see your loved ones smile, your joy matters just as much. Whether it's that gadget you've had your eye on or a much-needed home upgrade, now is the time to treat yourself to something that will bring lasting happiness.

You’ve earned a break from the “pwede na” mindset. Throughout the year, it’s easy to settle for “good enough”—whether it's delaying a purchase or opting for more affordable but less satisfying options. But Christmas isn’t the time for compromise. This season, go beyond “pwede na” and indulge in what you truly want. You’ve earned it!

It’s an investment for a better year ahead. Rewarding yourself doesn’t just bring immediate satisfaction; it sets the tone for the year to come. By investing in something that enhances your life—whether it's a new appliance, a fitness gadget, or something to elevate your home—you’re setting yourself up for a more productive and enjoyable new year.

Because Christmas comes but once a year! The magic of Christmas doesn’t come around every day, so why not make the most of it? Filipinos go all out during the holiday season because we know how special it is. Let this be the year you get everything you need to create memories, enjoy comfort, and live life to the fullest.

For Home Credit, the holiday season is the best time to give yourself the gift of more—because you deserve it! That is why with its commitment to empowering Filipinos achieve a more rewarding life, the country’s leading finance company is about to make your holiday shopping experience easier and more exciting with its upcoming 0% Installment Festival.

Tweet

PetPal, the first pet care super app in the Philippines, is introducing home vaccinations as their newest service available on their petcare app!

The launch of this new service comes in time for National Pet Wellness Month this October, reminding pet parents about the importance of prioritizing routine veterinary check-ups and preventive care to keep pets healthy and thriving all year round.

In the Philippines, many pet owners go to veterinarians only during emergencies. A Royal Canin survey revealed that an estimated 80% of Filipino pet parents delay appointments until their pets are already ill or require urgent care. PetPal aims to change this reactive approach.

“Our services in PetPal were developed with our customers in mind–allowing them to have more control and flexibility in caring for their pets. Our home vaccinations are no different,” said Martin Luchangco, General Manager of PetPal.

Luchangco highlighted that every home vaccination service ensures pets' records are instantly updated in the PetPal app, simplifying the process for pet parents to monitor and stay on schedule for their pets' next vaccinations.

He added, “We want to build that habit of proactive care with our customers, with the PetPal App serving as their digital petcare companion and connecting them to the resources and services they need through our platform.”

Currently, PetPal’s home vaccinations are available within Metro Manila, including cities like Taguig, Makati, Pateros, Pasig, Mandaluyong, San Juan, Marikina, Quezon City, Navotas, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Manila, Pasay, Paranaque, Las Pinas. Service areas also extend to parts of Rizal, Laguna, Cavite, and Bulacan.

Available vaccines include Anti-Rabies and Kennel Cough, as well as combination vaccines like the 5-in-1, 6-in-1, and 8-in-1 for dogs, and the 4-in-1 for cats, with more to come.

Vaccinations start at just P300, excluding professional fees and add-ons.

Pet owners simply need to log into their PetPal app,

1. select their preferred vaccination schedule

2. choose a veterinarian, and;

3. confirm the appointment.

To ensure availability, it is recommended to book at least one week in advance.

Holistic pet care in just one app!

PetPal continues to lead innovation in pet healthcare, empowering Filipino owners with holistic solutions to keep their companions healthy and happy.

The home vaccination service enhances the platform’s existing lineup, catering to all types of pets. This includes:

● Quick Assist - an AI-powered chatbot that answers pet parents’ immediate questions and guides them in their next steps;

● Teleconsultations - available as via on-demand or scheduled video or chat consultation, pet owners can directly consult with a professional about their pet’s condition.

● Home vet visits - be it for vaccinations or a physical assessment, pet owners can schedule an in-person consultation with our registered vets

● Home grooming - now available on the app and covering Metro Manila.

○ Home service for condominium owners are still in the works.

To learn more about the home vaccination service and other offerings, pet owners can download the PetPal app on Android and iOS.
