Fresh Catch: GABBI GARCIA Is The New Face Of Salmon

Glorietta was filled to the brim as Salmon did their Feels Good Show at the activity center. They had a lot of booths for those who love them plus some fans of their newest endorser Gabbi Garcia.

Gabbi shared her experience on being very open about her finances. She is a celebrity but very practical, she doesn't spend beyond her means. She's so obsessed with deals and is very game with sale racks. Whenever she goes out of the country, she checks those items that have been marked down and as long as it is fashionable (for her work), she would gladly get it. Shopping is easy if you do it digitally and adds that investing in time deposit is something she does very often and Salmon answers that. 

The show was also graced by Baus Rufo and Joy Barcoma, and I was super glad they had their mini reunion of sorts in this event. They were a riot! Plus, Sam YG also entertained folks during the first part of the show, he is after all the first endorser. Sam said he is so happy for Gabbi because Salmon had her so the message could be communicated to another age demographic.

Gabbi adds "I am very intentional when I choose brands that I partner with and I love what we do with Salmon. I budget for food and trips, also gifts because that is my love language. I never go beyond my means, I saved up and now enjoy what I earn. Salmon came in a good time because I want my money to work for me. I worked hard for it. "

She also shared "I believe money should grow, so I listen to people and my parents. I do research too. Salmon has a 0.5 percent cashback, and got approved easily with it."

 

Here's our interview with SAM YG and Gabbi at backstage, please enjoy!

 

Gabbi was also supported by her fellow GMA artists Rita Daniela, Kris Bernal and Thea Tolentino. This was a gesture that Gabbi really appreciated. 

Salmon is available on the app store and Google Play, so if you need financial help, one way you can do it is by helping yourself with one of the trusted established finance app in the country. 

You need to spend within your means so use it with knowing the risks.

Tonik Bank Introduces Payhinga

Things are still hard and getting even harder in 2026 as folks are feeling the effects of inflation, our groceries, school fees, hospital and emergency cases too. Breadwinners like most of us get really affected especially if we already have commitment to loans, missed payments, which gets our credit score down. Digital bank Tonik though got three fold increase in business as they introduced a loan payment holiday feature called Payhinga. This stops and pauses the need to pay in cases where you get hardships in life, economically, so you don't have to get your credit line affected, as it comes with Credit Life Insurance from Sun Life (Grepa Financial) which you can simply tick the option for before you take out that loan from this digital bank. 

Evidently, customers prefer this so they wouldn't get their credit health sabotaged, making more people become less susceptible to being default. But not to escape paying correctly.

This was a goal for them in their plans for financial inclusion , so they could help customers pay their loans even in dire situations. Tonik knows they need to help their clients pay off their obligations when the going gets tough. Payhinga gives folks breathing room when setbacks happen. This feature gives customers a good financial option to take when the unthinkable happens.
