Spark Joy, Gain Big with Metrobank's Promos

What would make your holidays complete? A trip to the beach? Sand on your feet? A full table of food? Friends or family? What to you sparks joy? 

The folks from Metrobank know what's good so they launched their Spark Joy Promo. If you save enough for these things, they'll reward you to make sure you get closer to your goal. They know how important life experiences are, so if you participate in the Spark Joy Promo, a guaranteed eGift of up to 10,000 pesos may head your way. Remember though that it only is from October 24 to February 28, and I think that perfectly fits your Christmas bonus if you're planning to invest, wouldn't that be a good idea?

All you need to do is open a savings account with Metrobank (go to a branch near you!), or just download the Metrobank App and open an eSavings account with a Php 15,000 average daily balance. Make sure you maintain it for 6 months or have some amount higher in it, because the bigger it is, the higher ADB growth. You'll get a bigger eGift too. If you have 500k in it, that's a good 10k for you! 

These things definitely Spark Joy, and if you're interested just head on to metrobank.com.ph/promos/spark-joy. They've always been the reliable one, you're in good hands with... exactly!

Shop at Puregold and Help Raise Funds for Communities

Your usual grocery shopping at Puregold has just got more meaning now as availing their new anniversary promos now help fund their community outreach programs. In September, they did Puregold Panalo Cup wherein shoppers got to purchase limited edition cups with endorsers TVJ on it. Proceeds went to Hospicio de San Jose which is a place for orphans, abandoned kids and for the elderly. They also put it to basic needs, educational supplies, making the contribution of Puregold customers a huge part of this.

Puregold Price Club Inc. President Vincent Co says "We have been able to do this for years and now we have our shoppers not only get good value for money products but share with those who need it most. We need positive changes and this collaboration with shoppers would be good for short and long term goals, and our efforts."

As part of Puregold's anniversary celebrations, they also got Visar Society to do custom tote bags for the benefit of La Mesa Watershed where SB19 Justin de Dios designed "People of Puregold", to signify the help that the Puregold community was able to bring. It was sold late September, but will be available again around October 16 to 26. It'll be good especially for fans of the group, and those who genuinely want to help (costs Php 125 if you get Php 1500 worth of groceries and Php 200 anniversary items). La Mesa Watershed Reservoir needs a lot of trees and its species.

There will also be a raffle draw happening on October 8 where Puregold will choose winners that will be sent to Hong Kong (10 winners), gadgets (20 winners), Hakot with the Stars/grocery run (20 winners), and Sari Sari Store showcase for 50 people. The second wave of winners will be announced on October 27 to November 5. You can get coupons every Php 2000 groceries you purchase (only 3 per transaction though!). Fine print will be in posters in Puregold so read em while you're there! Puregold's Sari saring Birthday Promos will be done on different dates til November 2023, so stay tuned for that as well! 

Shopee Taps VICE GANDA as Newest Brand Endorser

She's the one and only unkabogable Vice Ganda and she's the new brand ambassador for Shopee. This comes as they launch the 9.9 Super Shopping Day (starting on the 1st of September) plus new efforts to digitize Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the country. They partnered with the League of Provinces (hence the lawmakers present in the event) which they hope to help local entrepreneurs get tapped on the platform. Mind you, the org has a membership of over 81 provinces so there's definitely a lot who could benefit from it. They'll be trained and also guided how to get onboard the platform (just like what they've done in the past) but of course, with an entirely new audience.

Was this a shade????? LOL!

Shopee is also making this event a good one as they implemented FREE SHIPPING everyday, up to 70 percent off on products sold on Shopee LIVE, plus more discounts on the Fashion and Beauty category. This is good news for those who are into make up, grooming, and those who plan to change their wardrobe soon.

Here's Vice Ganda's statement when she was announced as the brand ambassador.

Brands that I saw during the event include itel, the good people from Pfizer, Vice Cosmetics, Shigetsu, INSPI, Mikana (who had awesome accessories btw!), Platinum Karaoke, and my favorite these days GameXtreme (heck I bought a lot of games from there!). There are also phone brands like Tecno, OPPO, Vivo, clothing brands like Penshopee, OXGN, Bench, Regatta, shoe brands KEDS and Crocs. So imagine the things you can get on 9.9!

They've got the right endorser today, and I wish Shopee gets back on track. They encourage you to install it, or re-install if that's the case. Those discounts are seriously good.

SARAH GERONIMO and Unbox the Holidays with Acer Philippines

Looks like our good friends from Acer Philippines has just launched their Holiday campaign. We got into a festive mood last week as PBB host Robi Domingo started off telling us who's about to perform and she's terribly missed by Popsters, and ordinary folks alike. Yes, she's the one and only Popstar Queen Sarah Geronimo-Guidicelli. But before that, we looked around at what Acer is offering this holiday season.

In a nutshell they're going to give up to 8000 pesos worth of SM Gift Pass on participating laptop units when you purchase them during this last quarter. They call it Unbox the Holidays with Acer. In order to qualify for it, you need to register your device for warranty. Then after they check (which usually take 5 days), they will transfer the amount to the registered phone number so you don't have to travel outside anymore. Everything is digital now, so you can use it to purchase a lot of stuff from SM Giftpass partner establishments (all SM brands of course!) so pretty much, you've got to get this perk when you plan to buy laptops this season!

Executives from Acer and the Queen of Pop Sarah Geronimo took the stage to discuss about the laptops and entertain the crowd that afternoon. The participating devices include the Aspire 3, Aspire Vero, Aspire 5, Swift 3 and Swift 5. Product prices range from Php 28K and Php 88K, so you really have a lot to choose from. The amount of GC's you get depends on the unit you purchase, but max you can have is 8K SM Digital Giftcards.

Sarah was super excited to perform on stage since it's been a while since she has done this outside of studios. She loved it so much, she gave us reason to see that there's another dance craze that will happen very soon. 

@kumagcow She missed performing live on stage, here's Sarah Geronimo! #SarahGeronimo #tiktokshowbizreporter #EntertainmentPH ♬ original sound - John Bueno

Thank you Acer Philippines for having us! It was so fun to be there that afternoon!
