Create the most meaningful connection this Mother’s Day - PLDT Home encourages all to #ConnectForReal with their moms

Tweet

It’s no question that moms are a constant figure in our lives, giving us unconditional love and support for everything we do. Because of this, some tend to neglect the need to express their love and appreciation for their moms, as they assume that it goes without saying. But what everyone should be reminded of is that love unexpressed is love unfelt.

On Mother’s Day, the day which asks the world to look past their busy schedules and honor their mothers, PLDT Home spearheads #ConnectForReal, a movement that encourages everyone to truly express their love even beyond the usual sweet Facebook greetings. 

Real connections can come from the simplest of conversations, gestures, bonding moments and traditions. Some may rely on social media posts and messages to develop interactions and nurture relationships, but nothing beats those #ConnectForReal moments with mom, proving that the strongest connections are truly at home.

ShopBack Brings New Era of Smart Shopping

Tweet

Shopback, Singporean-headed e-commerce, cashback reward company aims to to bring a new era of smart shopping here in the Philippines.

Since its launch last year, ShopBack, the Philippine franchise of Southeast Asia's largest and fastest growing online loyalty platform has been making a good thing even better for thousands of online shoppers. 

Offering rebates they call “Cashback,” ShopBack has been returning up to 30 per cent of what consumers pay for a specific item or service. This is on top of any discount the online store is already offering. 

Easy Steps to use Shopback

• Register for free using their app or website
• Shop any store thru ShopBack
• Get cashback account in 48 hours
• Wait for validation of order from the merchants
• Pay your cash back to your bank accounts

How exactly does an online shopper save with ShopBack? 

“When you shop on Lazada or ZALORA, GoodsPH via ShopBack, we give you a portion of your purchase back within 48 hours in your ShopBack account even if your mode of payment is cash on delivery to the store. This means extra, unlimited savings whenever you shop online,” says Kristina Ay-ay, country head of ShopBack, who’s been in the eCommerce industry for several years now.

Cashback is made possible through commissions earned by ShopBack from partner merchants with every completed sales transaction. ShopBack then shares a portion of its commission with the shopper.

“Our partner merchants reward us with a commission for referring you to shop on their site. But instead of keeping the commission to ourselves, we are sharing them with our consumers,” Ay-Ay revealed. 

Although ShopBack employs a loyalty scheme similar to other point system rewards programs and credit card rebates, what sets ShopBack apart from the rest is that the cashbacks are immediately credited to registered users. 

Once the amount of cashback accumulates to a certain point, it is then deposited to the shopper’s bank, GCash or PayPal account which he or she can either withdraw or use as payment for future purchases.

Such cashbacks are not only given to shoppers of Lazada and ZALORA but also to over 350 other popular online shopping destinations. 

As ShopBack enters its second year in the Philippines with more online shopping partners than ever before, buying from online stores like eBay, and even online service providers like Foodpanda, Booking.com and South East Asia’s online korean beauty store, Althea, is literally worth your while when you expect some of your hard-earned cash to return to you. And just recently, cashback on GrabCar rides booked via the ShopBack Mobile App has rolled out to everyone in the Philippines. With every ride taken on GrabCar services (GrabCar Premium, 6-seater Economy and 6-seater Premium) and GrabShare, there is a P5.00 cashback. Such a sweet reward for all the GrabCar riders!

Now with almost half a million subscribers within a span of one year, ShopBack is obviously a big hit for Filipino consumers.

While all shoppers like this system, Ay-ay has emphasized that Pinoy millennials seem to love it most. It’s no mystery, since the youth make up over 60 per cent of the Philippines’ 100-million-plus population, the median age of a Filipino Internet user is 24, and a third of Pinoys on the Web spend their time shopping online.

But Ay-ay is not stopping there as she intends to make ShopBack an even more indispensable shopping portal and further evangelize on the benefits of its cashback system. ShopBack will soon provide aggregated reviews and head-to-head comparisons in order to provide consumers with more informed decisions when they shop on the site. 

“We want every Filipino to be able to save as much as they can when shopping online. That’s ShopBack’s promise,” Ay-ay concluded.

Aside from their website, interested ShopBackers may download ShopBack app on IOS, Google Playstore or Apple Apple Store.

A tribute to 30 years of Saintly Selflessness - Saint Teresa of Calcutta Awards opens call for nominations

Tweet

The Saint Teresa of Calcutta Awards (STCA), formerly known as the Blessed Teresa of Calcutta Awards, opens call for nominations for its 30th year.

The award is open to any living individual, regardless of age, gender, race, and religion, who has dedicated himself fully and selflessly to humanitarian work among underprivileged Filipinos for at least 25 years. In addition, nominees will be likened to the degree in which they follow the example of Saint Teresa, both in integrity and in the simplicity of their lifestyle.

Established in 1983 by the A.Y. Foundation (AYF), Inc. and the Junior Chamber International (JCI) Manila, the STCA took inspiration from the life and works of Saint Teresa, a Nobel Peace Prize awardee who showed compassion for the poor and has inspired many to follow the same path. 

(L-R) Jerrold Ong - JCI STCA Chairman; EVP John Bautista - JCI Board of Directors, EVP; Former Prime Minister Cesar Virata - AYF Board of Trustees; Dr. Reynaldo Vea - AYF Board of trustee and president of Mapua; Former Congressman Ramon "Dondon" Bagatsing Jr. - JCI Past President, founder of STCA

The award-giving body aims to encourage the public to refocus on the importance of helping others by recognizing individuals who have dedicated a portion of their lives serving the “poorest of the poor” just like Saint Teresa. The winner will receive a cash grant of One Million Pesos (PHP1,000,000.00), at least half of which will be donated to the winner’s charitable institution of choice.

“As we celebrate the organization’s 30th year, we’d like to inspire more people, especially the youth, to be more involved in their community through honoring the selfless individuals who have dedicated most of their lives by serving the poorest of the poor.” says Jerrold Ong, 2017 Chairman of the Saint Teresa of Calcutta Award.  

Nomination forms may be downloaded from their Facebook Page (www.facebook.com/STCAward). Only completed nomination forms shall be accepted. The full list of rules and regulations can be found at the back of the nomination form.

Deadline for nomination forms is July 31, 2017
