An Actual Airplane Was Used to Announce Cebu Pacific’s Partnership with GoTyme Bank and Go Rewards

Plus, here’s what you need to know about this exciting (and rewarding) team-up.
If you think you've seen it all, think again. It's the year 2023 and it's hardly ever surprising when new tech arises, but GoTyme Bank went all out for their “Rewards Boosted” launch event held at Palacio de Memoria in Paranaque on February 9, 2023. Let's just say they went big—which is the right word to describe GoTyme Bank's exciting partnership with Cebu Pacific and Go Rewards.

GoTyme Bank used an experimental technology called 3D mapping video, which maps video footage onto surfaces like buildings, runways, water, and airplanes, turning them into astonishing displays. For this launch, they used an actual airplane! The result: 80 seconds of pure entertainment—a showstopping display like we’ve never seen before!
Here's what some of the guests have to say about the stunning display. "I was in awe seeing the 3D mapping technology done in a plane. As it was creative and well-thought, this signifies where we are headed—more innovations ahead. With GoTyme, Cebu Pacific, and Go Rewards making travel more accessible and fun, especially coming after the 2-year pause because of the pandemic, I am excited to experience the world again," shared Mela Habijan, Miss Trans Global 2020.

Video creator Miss Nate shared, “Definitely something I haven’t seen before! We’ve seen the plane at Palacio before but this totally caught us off guard. Such a fun and refreshing way to spice up the atmosphere of the place and the event. I look forward to seeing more of it.”

This year, the Philippine delegation was represented by 16 local exhibitors from the airline industry, tour operators, and accommodations to network and engage with 115 international buyers at the ATF Travel Exchange (TRAVEX).

Philippine sellers and foreign delegates also had a taste of Philippine cuisine and culture through a hosted luncheon prepared by the Grand Rohan Jogja hotel which also featured a Filipino Martial Arts (FMA) cultural performance along with a musical medley by Filipino world-class talents.

Tourism Secretary Christina Garcia Frasco welcomed the guests to the event with an invitation to explore the country’s various tourism products, “We aim to give you the best of the Filipino to remind you that while the Philippines continues to be a top-of-mind destination all over the world, there is also so much more to our beaches, our dive sites, our mountain ranges, and our underground rivers. There's our food, our living cultural traditions, and many many components that give you a window into the soul of the Filipino,” said Tourism Secretary Frasco.

Meanwhile, the Philippines garnered prestige during the ASEAN Tourism Standards Awards, which recognized outstanding tourism businesses and destinations in the region that have complied with the international association’s tourism standards.

The Galaxy S23 Series: Designed With the Planet in Mind


With its new, cutting-edge design, Samsung’s new Galaxy S23 series (Galaxy 23 Ultra, Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23) demonstrated that innovation brings both high-performance and sustainability for the ultimate premium experience.

The Galaxy S23 series raised the bar for both quality and aesthetics with less environmental impact than previous generations. To achieve this, Samsung incorporated recycled materials in more device components than in any other previous Galaxy smartphone and designed the packaging box using 100% recycled paper.

The presence of recycled materials in the Galaxy S23 series has also been increased, rising from six internal components made from eco-conscious materials in the Galaxy S22 Ultra to 12 internal and external components incorporating recycled materials in the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Samsung also used a wider variety of recycled materials, including pre-consumer recycled aluminum and glass, for use in Galaxy devices. By continuing to increase recycled materials in Galaxy devices, this helped the company reduce their impact on the environment. Specifically, the use of recycled ocean-bound plastics in the Galaxy S23 series could prevent more than 15 tons of discarded fishing nets from entering the world’s oceans by the end of 2023, helping to reduce ocean pollution.

The Galaxy S23 series is also built to last with durability and repairability, making it dependable for years to come. It’s the first device to feature Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus® 2, which offers durability for long-term use and contains an average of 22 percent pre-consumer recycled content. The Galaxy S23 series also provides four generations of OS upgrades and five years of security updates, so users are protected for longer.

The Galaxy S23 Series also marked a new era of Samsung, marking a new era of Samsung Galaxy’s ultimate premium phone experience. Samsung Galaxy's epic camera gives users more freedom to explore their creativity, like capturing truly cinematic Nightography videos with transformative AI.

Meanwhile, the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 2 Mobile Platform for Galaxy” unleashes premium experiences, including groundbreaking AI, future-ready mobile gaming feature and powerfully sustained game play with the world’s fastest mobile graphics.[1] On the Galaxy S23 Ultra, an embedded S Pen[2] that many long-time Samsung Galaxy users know and love offers more possibilities for productivity, notetaking, hobbies and more.

All the Galaxy S23 series’ new standard-setting innovations are housed within a striking design that advances the company’s sustainability commitment with more components made using recycled materials than any other Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

Pre-orders are now ongoing for the Galaxy S23 Series. From today until February 23, 2023, customers who pre-order the Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ , or the Galaxy S23 Ultra through samsung.com will enjoy discounts of up to PHP 76,000, including a FREE Memory Upgrade worth up to PHP 8,000.
