    GCash launches in-app cryptocurrency beginner’s guide 

    Interest in cryptocurrency continues to grow among Filipinos, with 96% showing awareness and over half expressing intent to invest within the year, according to a 2025 Consensys survey. Despite this high level of curiosity, many remain cautious and unsure about where to begin.

    To help everyday Filipinos take their first confident step into the world of crypto, finance super app GCash launches “A Beginner’s Guide to Cryptocurrency”, a free and exclusive in-app introduction to cryptocurrency, written and illustrated by Luis Buenaventura, head of GCrypto. Buenaventura, a Filipino crypto author, artist, and entrepreneur, is widely recognized as a pioneer in the local and global crypto scene. 

    The Filipino-focused, narrative-style guide breaks down complex concepts like Bitcoin, wallets, and volatility through familiar and practical examples like inflation and daily budgeting, making the topic more approachable for crypto newbies. 

    “Storytelling makes learning personal and relatable. By grounding financial concepts into everyday examples, we aim to make complex topics like crypto approachable for anyone,” said Buenaventura.

    cryptocurrency

    Crypto: From Making Sense to Making Moves

    Divided into eight chapters, the guide takes users through the fundamentals of crypto in a practical, easy-to-follow format that reflects the real financial experiences of Filipinos. It starts with why cryptocurrency was developed–tracing its roots to real-world economic challenges, particularly inflation and its impact on people’s savings and purchasing power. From there, it walks readers through Bitcoin’s rise and volatility. 

    “Understanding why crypto matters is the first step to learning how to use it wisely,” Buenaventura noted. “By helping them understand the balance of ‘high risk, high reward,’ we aim to set realistic expectations before they dive into actual investing.”

    Once readers have a grasp of cryptocurrency, the book guides them towards taking their first careful step into investing. It emphasizes the importance of building traditional savings, maintaining diversified investments, and treating crypto as a complement—not a replacement—to other financial foundations.

    The succeeding chapters explore the tools and mindsets needed to invest responsibly. It explains wallet apps, satoshis, and trading basics, and introduces other cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin, such as Ethereum, Solana, stablecoins, and high-volatility memecoins. 

    It also dives into the mindset behind investing, tackling topics like moments of doubt, the importance of discipline, and the value of long-term thinking. Ultimately, it brings the conversation back to purpose—that crypto should serve real-life goals, helping Filipinos fund dreams, support their families, and celebrate financial progress responsibly.

    “Our goal is to educate Filipinos on the responsible use of cryptocurrency, enabling them to take confident, informed steps into the future of finance,” Buenaventura added.

    Crypto na Gets Mo

    Accessible with just a few taps, “A Beginner’s Guide to Cryptocurrency” is now available through GCrypto, a secure marketplace within the GCash app where users can buy, sell, and learn about crypto safely. 

    “By publishing the book directly on the GCrypto platform, users can learn and explore at their own pace within a secure environment. This helps Filipinos build confidence and make informed decisions as they navigate the world of crypto,” said Buenaventura. 

    With streamlined registration, low minimum investment options, and a curated selection of reputable coins reviewed by security experts, GCrypto aims to make cryptocurrency more accessible and less intimidating for Filipino users.

    Users can register and begin trading with just their fully verified GCash account, with no separate onboarding required. With investment entry points starting at just PHP200, GCrypto lowers the barrier for participation in the digital economy. 

    The platform also offers a carefully curated portfolio of trusted cryptocurrencies, helping users make informed choices among reputable coins vetted for security and reliability. It also supports seamless conversion between pesos and crypto, as well as blockchain transactions for sending and receiving funds, all within the GCash app.

    Users can access the book by opening the GCash app, tapping ‘Grow,’ and selecting GCrypto.

    Shoulder improvement works in NLEX to ease congestion during peak periods

    To help manage heavy traffic during peak travel periods, NLEX Corporation has been clearing and regrading the road shoulders from the Harbor Link Interchange to Marilao, improving mobility and road safety along this busy corridor.

    Covering approximately 10,000 linear meters in both directions, the project involved removing accumulated sand, grass, and debris to maximize space, restoring proper cross-slope for improved rainwater drainage, and adding a 150mm base course in select areas to provide a more stable and smoother surface.

    NLEX

    “By clearing and upgrading the shoulders, stalled vehicles can be moved quickly for assistance or repair, while minor incidents can be cleared faster—allowing traffic to return to normal more quickly,” said NLEX president and general manager Luis S. Reñon.

    He added that the improved shoulders may also be used by vehicles in exceptional cases of heavy congestion, under the supervision of patrol crews.

    Emphasizing the crucial role of road shoulders in maintaining safety and traffic efficiency, NLEX reminds motorists that parking, idling, or using the shoulder lane as a rest area is strictly prohibited.

    NLEX Corporation is a subsidiary of Metro Pacific Tollways Corporation (MPTC), the toll road arm of Metro Pacific Investments Corporation (MPIC).

    DICT and Maya deepen collaboration to modernize e-government payments and digital access

    At this year’s Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF), the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) and Maya formalized an expanded collaboration to enhance e-government services and improve access to digital finance tools for millions of Filipinos. 

    The partnership supports DICT’s mandate to optimize government ICT systems under the E-Government Masterplan and the Philippine Development Plan (PDP). It also advances the national goal of accelerating digital inclusion by bringing financial services — including payments, savings, credit and rewards — closer to citizens through trusted public–private cooperation. 

    A More Seamless eGovPH–Maya Experience 

    Under the cooperation agreement, DICT and Maya are working together to enable faster, more reliable digital payments within the eGovPH App and across Maya’s ecosystem. This includes developing embedded financial services that give users smoother transactions, access to digital tools such as savings and credit, and personalized incentives that encourage digital adoption. 

    Key areas of collaboration include: 

    • Seamless digital payments for government services across the eGovPH and Maya platforms;
    • Digital financial solutions, including access to savings, credit, and insurance tools, as well as  rewards and incentives; 
    • Financial inclusion initiatives using open finance, AI, and secure digital identity; and, 
    • Broader service enhancements aligned with DICT’s push for efficient, citizen-centered government transactions. 
    DICT

    “Our collaboration with Maya strengthens the backbone of the eGov ecosystem,” said DICT Secretary Henry Aguda. “By enabling seamless digital payments and expanding access to financial tools such as savings, credit, and insurance in the eGovPH app, we move closer to a future where government transactions are simple, secure, and truly accessible to all Filipinos.” 

    Shailesh Baidwan, group president of Maya and co-founder of Maya Bank, emphasized the importance of integrating financial services into public platforms: “DICT is building the architecture for a modern digital government, and Maya is proud to deliver the financial layer that supports it — from convenient digital payments to AI-driven financial tools that help Filipinos transact, save and access credit with confidence. This collaboration shows how innovation and public service can move forward together.” 

    “Digital government works best when it is built around the real needs of people,” said Orlando Vea, founder and CEO of Maya and co-founder of Maya Bank. “This collaboration with DICT helps bring essential services closer to every Filipino—whether they’re paying for a permit, running a small business or working to support their families. Our role is to make the technology simple, secure and genuinely helpful, so more citizens can participate fully in the digital economy.” 

    Supporting PEMEDES: Digitizing and Strengthening the Delivery Services Sector 

    DICT and Maya also expanded their collaboration to support PEMEDES (Private Express and Messengerial Delivery Services) — the national regulatory framework overseeing licensed delivery operators and riders across the country. 

    PEMEDES underwent a significant upgrade in August 2025 with the launch of its AI-enabled, fully digital registration and licensing portal—replacing manual, paper-based processes with faster onboarding, automated compliance and stronger identity verification. 

    Through this partnership, Maya will support PEMEDES operators and riders by providing access to: 

    • secure digital payments for licensing, transactions and rider payouts; 
    • micro-savings, credit and insurance tools designed for delivery workers; 
    • rewards and incentives that encourage safe and compliant operations; and, 
    • more traceable and secure transactions across delivery ecosystems.

    By embedding financial tools directly into PEMEDES’ digital processes, the initiative aims to strengthen the delivery services sector and give riders and operators greater financial stability, protection and access to essential financial services. 

    Philippine Leadership at SFF 2025 

    The formalization of the DICT–Maya collaboration at SFF underscores how the Philippines is advancing digital transformation through close cooperation between the government and the private sector. 

    Maya is a co-presenter of the Philippine Pavilion, organized by FintechAlliance.ph, where the country highlights its growing strengths in digital finance, open government, and practical, citizen-focused innovation. 

    The presence of DICT, Maya, and industry groups at SFF reflects a shared commitment to building scalable, real-world digital solutions that improve how Filipinos interact with both government and financial services—positioning the Philippines as an active and capable contributor to the region’s digital economy.

    PH ranks 7th among 21 Asia-Pacific markets in a new GSMA report

    The Philippines now ranks seventh in the GSMA’s Asia Pacific Digital Nation Index, according to a new report unveiled at the Digital Nation Summit (DNS) Manila. Recent government allocations of over PHP72 billion for national broadband, cloud and other transformation projects underscore this progress, while the domestic digital economy already contributes PHP2.25 trillion, roughly 8.5 per cent of GDP, with e-commerce sales above PHP500 billion in 2023.

    The country now records an aggregate score of 60/100 on the GSMA Intelligence Digital Nations Index, placing it firmly in the cohort of “leading” digital nations. However, the study entitled “Digital Nations 2025: Sustaining Progress in Asia Pacific through Investment” warns that progress could stall unless fresh investment, coherent policy and continued skills development close a widening usage gap. Roughly two in every five Philippine citizens remain offline, and funding shortfalls persist in cybersecurity, advanced research, and rural connectivity.

    The report urges the Philippines to:

    • Set clear national digital investment goals
    • Align government policies with digitalization objectives
    • Use public investment to stimulate private sector participation
    • Avoid regulatory uncertainty
    • Address regional disparities and the digital usage gap through collaboration

    With 40% of citizens still offline, bridging the usage gap through rural connectivity and digital skills development is essential to ensure no one is left behind.

    The report tracks 21 Asia-Pacific countries across the five pillars that define a digital nation (infrastructure, innovation, data governance, security and people) and will be the centrepiece of discussions at DNS Manila.

    Julian Gorman, Head of Asia-Pacific, GSMA, said: “The Philippines has taken bold steps to put digital at the heart of its growth strategy, from budgets for broadband to ambitious targets on cloud and skills. Our new research shows those efforts are paying dividends, but it also sets out the hard numbers on where further investment is urgently required. If industry and government can channel investment into 5G, fibre, cloud and cyber-security, while keeping regulation clear and predictable, the country can make the leap from a fast-growing digital economy to a truly inclusive digital nation.”

    Wider Report Findings for Asia Pacific

    Other key findings from the Asia Pacific Digital Nations report include:

    • India and Vietnam have moved up from the “emerging” to the “leading” tier of Digital Nations in the GSMA Intelligence Index, thanks to strong, broad-based gains across all five pillars. Brunei Darussalam, new to this year’s ranking, now tops the list of emerging digital nations.
    • A mobile-internet gap remains in remoter parts of APAC. Given vast mountainous, forested and archipelago regions in Asia Pacific – more than 100 million people, around three per cent of the region’s population, still live outside a mobile-broadband footprint, mainly in remote and rural areas where commercial rollouts are not yet viable. Targeted incentives will be needed to extend networks to these communities.
    • The 5G rollout is uneven. Cambodia, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have not yet launched 5G, while adoption has already reached mass-market levels in Australia, Singapore and South Korea. High spectrum prices, hefty upgrade costs and flat revenues are squeezing operators’ ability to invest further.
    • Asia Pacific faces an emerging AI infrastructure shortfall. CBRE forecasts a gap of 15-25 GW in data-centre capacity by 2028, equivalent to 25-42 per cent of projected demand, even if current supply were to double. Shortages of data-centre space, power and GPUs could limit the region’s ability to train and deploy advanced AI models.

    Digital Nation Summit Manila

    Held under the banner ‘Building a Secure Digital Nation: Pathways to Prosperity for the Philippines’, the recent Digital Nation Summit Manila 2025 convened government leaders, regulators, industry pioneers, and ecosystem partners to accelerate the country’s transition to a resilient, inclusive, and future-ready digital economy. Anchored by the official launch of the GSMA Digital Nations APAC Report 2025, the one-day forum explored how strategic investment, collaborative policymaking, and people-centred innovation can cement the Philippines’ place in Asia’s digital future.

    Summit proceedings opened with remarks from Julian Gorman, Head of Asia-Pacific, GSMA, followed by a ministerial keynote from Secretary Henry Rhoel Aguda of the Department of Information and Communications Technology. A ‘Digital Leaders Unplugged’ fireside chat and a report-highlight presentation set the scene for a programme built around three themes that mirror the report’s findings:

    1. Investing in 5G, fiber, and cloud infrastructure
    2. Building trust through robust data-governance and cyber-security frameworks
    3. Unlocking inclusive growth through skills, fintech and sector-wide innovation

    DNS Manila was timed to coincide with Philippine Fintech Week. Alongside the main summit, the GSMA hosted an APAC Fintech Forum roundtable on secure, interoperable digital-payment ecosystems and their role in inclusive growth. Outcomes from both gatherings will feed into regional policy debates at M360 Asia-Pacific later in the year.

    AI Fintechs join forces to fight online scams and money mulling in PH

    Digital technology connects us to others and keeps us informed and entertained—but it also enables scammers to wreak havoc online. From phishing emails to fake websites and money mulling, online scams are rising, and with AI, they are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

    The scale of the issue is alarming. DICT, BSP, and the NBI regularly advise Filipinos to exercise caution against fraudulent schemes amid the rapid growth of digital technology.

    According to the AI Fintechs (CICC), cybercrime complaints in the Philippines increased to over 10,000 in 2024—three times higher than the 3,317 cases recorded in 2023—resulting in losses of nearly PHP198 million. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has warned the public against “money mulling,” where individuals lend or sell their bank or e-wallet accounts for illegal activities, now punishable under law. Financial institutions are increasingly leveraging AI and machine learning to counter money mulling and related illicit activities.

    The Money Mulling Challenge

    Money mules pose a growing threat to the financial system. Fraudsters exploit synthetic identities, deepfakes, and fake accounts to misuse savings and investments for illegal transactions. These threats are not isolated—they are part of a complex problem challenging the entire financial ecosystem. With rising regulatory pressure and increasingly sophisticated money mule networks, Philippine banks and fintechs are adopting stronger measures to safeguard customers and their institutions.

    AI-Driven Finance

    Trusting Social Philippines (TSPH) is an AI-driven fintech that uses alternative data and AI to provide credit scoring, risk assessment, and financial insights. It offers AI-powered solutions for credit risk assessment, identity verification, and customer acquisition to serve millions of underbanked Filipinos. Trusting Social  partners with banks and financial institutions to expand credit access for underserved consumers. By collaborating with regulators and fintechs, the company contributes significantly to national fraud prevention initiatives.

    A Unified Ecosystem Response

    On its seventh anniversary, Trusting Social highlighted its mission to combat financial fraud. The company emphasized that its credit risk and fraud prevention services make financial inclusion accessible, safe, and fraud-free. The celebration featured a fireside chat, “The Frontline Defense: Combating Money Mulling and Fostering a Secure Financial Ecosystem,” gathering key stakeholders from banking and  fintech sectors to discuss collaboration for a secure financial system.

    “Financial inclusion isn’t abstract; it fuels economic progress,” said Johnny Escaler, CEO of Trusting Social Philippines . “Our mission is to tackle one of the most fundamental problems of finance—powering inclusion with AI. The work we do has never been more critical.”

    Trusting Social welcomed partners to a new AI-driven era of financial inclusion, covering security, customer onboarding, KYC, fraud prevention, KYB, credit scoring, and trust.

    Trust Insights      

    Trusting Social unveiled Trusting Insights 2.0, enhancing the company’s credit risk intelligence services. Through expanded partnerships with telcos like Globe and Smart, and e-wallets like GCash and Maya, Trust Insights 2.0 can score up to 95% of adult Filipinos.

    The company is introducing SelfieScore, a KYC service with real-time biometrics, addressing deepfake threats that steal consumer identities. These innovations reaffirm Trusting Social’s commitment to proactively fighting financial fraud and money mulling.

    “If fraudsters are organized, we need to be organized. If money mulling is rising, better AI models are needed. If OTP verification fails, we need biometrics,” said Jaideep Lakshminarayanan, CFO of Trusting Social. “Traditional methods will change; the market and fraudsters are evolving—we must evolve too.”

    Inclusive Digital Finance

    “Fraud is integral to financial inclusion,” Lakshminarayanan noted. “Through expanded partnerships, we scale trust to score 95% of the adult population. Inclusion without security is just a costly risk profile. Trust Vision ensures that doesn’t happen.”

    Building Trust

    AI is vital in combating online scams. It provides proactive, real-time, adaptive defenses, processing vast data to identify evolving threats beyond traditional security systems. AI builds trust in financial institutions, from banks to fintechs.

    Law enforcement, policymakers, and security agencies must understand criminal adoption of AI to counter threats effectively. Globally, regulators aim to encourage AI innovation while mitigating abuse by illicit actors. Businesses, public interest groups, and the government must collaborate in this escalating AI arms race. Sharing insights and best practices strengthens collective defenses against online crime, particularly money mulling scams.

    Globe Business unveils Digitest, empowers enterprises to take the next step in their digital transformation journey

    In a world where technology moves fast, many Philippine businesses still struggle to answer a simple question: Where are we now in our digital transformation? To help them move beyond simple assessment and find the strategic clarity and roadmap for the future, Globe Business has launched Digitest, an intuitive digital maturity assessment tool unveiled during the latest installment of Blueprint, a series of quarterly events highlighting how Globe is using technology to promote digital inclusion and empower every Filipino.

    Digitest was developed to help companies evaluate their digital readiness, ensuring they maximize efficiency at their current stage and strategically identify priority areas for the next phase of growth. Aligned with Globe Business’ Digital Maturity Assessment Model, the tool takes businesses through a guided questionnaire that measures their readiness across six key dimensions: (1) Vision and Strategy, (2) Customer Experience and Channels, (3) Operations and Processes, (4) Data and Technology Readiness, (5) People and Capabilities, and (6) Investment and Prioritization. These areas reflect the core elements that shape a company’s ability to adapt, innovate, and sustain digital transformation.

    Upon completion, users receive a personalized report that pinpoints their current maturity stage. This comes with actionable recommendations and relevant Globe Business solutions to help them move forward in their digital transformation journey with confidence. 

    The Digitest model outlines five stages of digital maturity among Philippine enterprises, starting with the Observer, which consists of businesses with limited digital adoption and minimal technological investments. The next level is the Explorer, characterizing those beginning to explore automation and the early stages of digital transformation. Companies then progress to the Adopter stage, using digital tools more consistently to enhance operations and growth. This is followed by the Proficient organization, which has embedded technology and automation into its daily operations. The highest level is the Innovator, reserved for enterprises where digital adoption is core, featuring deep automation and advanced technologies in place.

    Digitest underscores Globe Business’ continuing commitment to advancing digital acceleration in the Philippines. “We created Digitest to help enterprises turn uncertainty into direction,” said KD Dizon, VP and Head of Globe Business. “Many organizations are actively pursuing digital transformation, but are unsure how to accurately assess their progress. With Digitest, they can see exactly where they stand today and what steps to take next. It’s about empowering businesses to make informed, data-backed decisions.”

    “Digital transformation is fundamentally a growth journey, but without a clear measure of maturity, that journey may stall,” added Dizon. “With Digitest, we’re giving Filipino enterprises a clear roadmap so they can innovate with purpose and move forward with clarity.”

    Through Digitest, Globe Business once again reaffirms its role as a trusted partner in driving enterprise growth, empowering organizations to immediately operationalize assessment data into high-impact, continuous transformation while contributing to a stronger, more digitally empowered Philippines.

    HitPay and Yuno partner to expand local payment access across APAC

    HitPay, a leading provider of local payment infrastructure in Asia Pacific, and Yuno, a global orchestrator of financial infrastructure, have formed a strategic partnership to simplify payments complexity for international merchants expanding into Asia. 

    This collaboration integrates Yuno’s core technology that finds the fastest, and most successful path for every payment with HitPay’s deep network of local payment rails, remittance capabilities, and E-Wallets. This unified experience maximizes payment acceptance across dynamic consumer markets in Asia Pacific. 

    The alliance helps address the complexity of fragmented payment landscapes. Yuno’s global merchants will now gain immediate access to HitPay’s extensive coverage of essential Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) and national schemes, which are crucial for converting more shoppers into paying customers in the region. 

    Unlocking local consumer spending 

    By leveraging HitPay’s local connectivity, Yuno’s merchants can seamlessly accept varying payment methods preferred by consumers in Asia. This includes direct connections to leading E-Wallets like GCash (Philippines), ShopeePay, GrabPay, Touch ‘n Go (Malaysia), and Kakaopay (South Korea).

    Furthermore, the integration provides full support for national schemes, facilitating instant bank transfers and QR codes via essential systems such as PayNow (Singapore), QRPH (Philippines), and QRIS (Indonesia).

    Enabling the subscription economy

    Furthermore, the integration incorporates HitPay’s advanced recurring billing functionality. This allows Yuno to provide its global merchants with comprehensive subscription and repeat-payment capabilities using the local APMs, supporting the massive growth of SaaS and subscription-based business models across the region.

    “The most difficult challenge for global businesses expanding into Asia is local payment compliance and connectivity,” said Aditya Haripurkar, CEO & co-founder, HitPay. “By joining forces with Yuno, we’ve created a single point of integration. This instantly empowers Yuno’s merchants to transact as a local business from day one, translating directly into better acceptance rates and higher sales.”

Integrating HitPay’s fast, deep local infrastructure complements our offering in this crucial region, ensuring clients can boost revenue through truly localized checkout experiences while retaining full central control and visibility.”

    Over 1M join Affinity in less than a week, as Canva’s community-led launch marks a new era in professional design

    Canva has announced that its UK-based professional creative suite, Affinity, has surpassed one million sign-ups in under a week, following its landmark move to make the software completely free — forever.

    The milestone marks the beginning of Affinity’s new era, unveiled through a month-long build of anticipation, a bold new visual identity, and a multi-asset brand campaign led by Tom Carey, Canva’s Europe Creative Director. The integrated launch signals a major shift for professional design: one defined by openness, accessibility, and creative freedom for all.

    Building the anticipation: a community-led unveiling

    In the weeks leading up to launch, Affinity took a distinctly community-led approach – listening, engaging, and co-creating with its global network of designers. What began in early October as a quiet “creative whisper” grew into a groundswell of excitement, as subtle hints and behind-the-scenes moments appeared across social channels and design communities.

    Working closely with the Designer Advisory Board (DAB) and Pro Panel, the team invited early reactions, responded to feedback in real time, and built anticipation organically – not through ads, but through real time conversation. 

    That shared momentum reached its peak when the news dropped as part of Canva’s World Tour keynote: Affinity was going free forever. The reveal ignited a wave of support from professional creatives around the world – a community united by craft, collaboration, and a belief that creative tools should be open to everyone.

    A new campaign for creative freedom

    The campaign celebrates a new creative era: one where tools are open, collaboration is celebrated, and design is accessible to everyone. Crafted in collaboration with ManvsMachine, the campaign video is a rallying cry for creative liberation. Reminding designers of a time when they created for fun and for love, not confined by their tools, but empowered by them. 

    The campaign, inspiring designers to craft, experiment, and create their way, runs globally across YouTube and Meta until December 14. It aims to raise awareness of Affinity among professional designers and share our message that true creative freedom is now free, forever.

    Rebranding for a new era

    As part of the new Affinity product launch, Canva has unveiled a complete rebrand for the professional creative suite, signalling a new era for the product and the community behind it. Crafted in Affinity and scaled in Canva, the refreshed identity moves away from the angular and geometric shapes of the past and into something more expressive, human, and proudly bold.

    Developed by Canva and Affinity’s in-house creative teams, in close collaboration with design studio Twist, and guided by Canva’s Designer Advisory Board and Pro Panel, the reimagined Affinity brand celebrates creative freedom. From Rob Clarke’s handcrafted logomark to James Martin’s playful graphic assets and the distinctive “.af” file extension, every detail embodies its ethos: for creatives, by creatives.

    The new look blends craft with character: an expressive typeface by Ohno Type, playful ethos badges by James Martin, and an artist palette of neutral tones, charcoal, graphite, putty, and paper, that lets the vibrant work of our community take centre stage. Punctuated by a sharp hit of lime green as a nod to the “punk” energy driving the change. Together, these choices bring the brand’s attitude to life: serious about craft, but unafraid to have fun with it.

    The rebrand evolves Affinity from “looking punk” to “feeling punk” – a bold yet thoughtful redesign that balances design heritage with a modern sense of play. It’s a brand that celebrates collaboration, craft, and the creative process itself: raw, joyful, and full of heart.

    Affinity

    A movement reshaping the creative industry

    Since announcing Affinity’s new chapter last week, the response has been extraordinary. Over one million creatives worldwide — from designers and illustrators to photographers and students — have joined the platform, redefining what access to professional tools should look like.

    Making Affinity free is a continuation of Canva’s founding belief that great design should be accessible to everyone. It’s made possible by Canva’s sustainable business model — one built on offering powerful creative tools for free, while optional paid features like premium content, collaboration, and AI tools fund continued innovation. This approach has powered Canva’s growth for more than a decade and now enables Affinity to remain free, forever — while continuing to evolve for the world’s most ambitious creators.

    BPI AIA launches Prime USD to preserve and grow wealth in US dollars with life protection

    BPI AIA Life Assurance Corporation (BPI AIA) has launched Prime USD, a US dollar–denominated life insurance plan that allows Filipinos to preserve and grow their wealth in a stable currency while securing life protection for their families. The launch of this product comes amid sustained growth in US dollar deposits, which reached USD60.67 billion as of end-June 2025, according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas.

    BPI AIA Prime USD offers guaranteed death benefit protection or maturity benefits, periodic cash payouts, and eligibility for non-guaranteed dividends. These features give policyholders a disciplined way to pursue long-term financial goals while keeping loved ones financially secure in case of unforeseen events. 

    Designed as a participating plan, Prime USD allows the policy to accumulate value over time, offering customers the opportunity to grow their USD fund as their financial milestones evolve. It helps preserve wealth, protect loved ones, and pass on a legacy that endures across generations.

    “More Filipinos are now planning goals that involve foreign currency, whether it’s saving for the future, traveling, or sending their child to school abroad,” said Karen Custodia, chief executive officer of BPI AIA. “Prime USD can help them gradually build funds in US dollars while making sure their loved ones stay protected. It’s a practical way to prepare for life’s bigger decisions.”

    Prime USD

    Prime USD goes beyond traditional protection by offering a structured plan that keeps wealth working in a stable currency while allowing customers to build for the future. The plan is designed for convenience, featuring a smooth application experience and a fixed payment period that enables customers to secure long-term coverage and benefits. With a minimum face amount of USD6,500, customers can start building their financial security confidently while enjoying the stability and value this plan provides.

    Going beyond a standard US dollar savings account, Prime USD combines wealth preservation and financial protection. Someone preparing for a child’s overseas education can start contributing manageable amounts today and accumulate a USD fund over time, ensuring that their family’s goals remain financially supported, even in the face of unexpected circumstances. The plan is ideal for individuals and families preparing for life milestones requiring significant USD funding.

    Prime USD is suited for goals such as education abroad, international travel, long-term wealth accumulation, and legacy planning. By linking wealth-building to life insurance, the plan helps families prepare for major future expenses while mitigating risks associated with currency fluctuations. Each plan can be tailored to match customers’ financial timelines and priorities.

    The product is available at all BPI branches nationwide, where Bancassurance Sales Executives can assist customers in selecting a plan aligned with their financial goals. Prime USD is offered by BPI AIA, a fully licensed life insurance company regulated by the Insurance Commission.

    Petron introduces new Sprint Scooter Oil —“Subok Sa Bawat Ride”

    Petron Corporation, the country’s leading oil company and a trusted name among Filipino motorists, proudly introduces Petron Sprint Scooter Oil, the newest product in its motorcycle engine oil line. Designed specifically for scooter engines, it delivers reliable performance and protection that Filipino riders can count on every day.

    Sprint Scooter Oil

    Petron Knows You

    Across the Philippines, more and more riders are taking to the road on scooters. They are easier to maneuver, making them ideal and practical for navigating traffic or traveling long distances. For millions of Filipinos, owning a scooter is not just about convenience—it represents freedom, independence, and control over their time.

    Having your own motorcycle gives you true freedom of mobility. You are no longer limited by the schedule or routes of public transportation. You can leave whenever you need to and go wherever you have to.

    Whether it’s heading to work, taking care of your family, running errands, or going for a weekend ride just to unwind, having a scooter makes daily life easier and more flexible. It is not just a ride—it is a tool that helps you move faster and live more independently every day, but it also comes with responsibilities like maintenance, insurance, and fuel costs, but that is all part of taking good care of your motorcycle.

    Every day on the road brings its own challenges. From the heavy traffic in major thoroughfares such as C5, EDSA, and Commonwealth, to unpredictable weather, rough roads, steep climbs, and long, non-stop rides, both riders and their motorcycles are constantly put to the test.

    Petron Got You
