Bohol’s Roads Welcome the Return of Giro d’Luca for a Scenic Ride

BOHOL, PHILIPPINES | May 29 2025 – The province of Bohol once again served as the dynamic backdrop for the Giro d’Luca, a three-day, non-competitive cycling celebration held from May 23 to 25, 2025. Covering close to 500 kilometers, the event brought cyclists through a

scenic journey across Panglao, Loboc, the famed Chocolate Hills, and other iconic locations across the province.

Now in its twelfth year, the Giro d’Luca has grown from a private birthday ride into a well-loved regional cycling tradition. It was first launched in 2012 by Gianluca Guidicelli, a restaurateur, entrepreneur, and multisport athlete, as a way to share his passion for health, community, and

the natural beauty of the Philippines.

This year’s Giro d’Luca continued its intimate format, welcoming a close-knit group of family members and friends who share a deep appreciation for cycling and the outdoors. Unlike a competitive race, the Giro d’Luca focuses on the experience of bringing riders together to foster

camaraderie while enjoying some of the country's most stunning routes.

"Celebrating life and community has always been at the heart of the Giro d' Luca. For over a decade, it's been incredible to see this passion for cycling grow among fellow athletes. We hope

to keep that spirit alive on the roads of Bohol for many years to come," said Gianluca Guidicelli, founder of the Giro d’Luca.

The 2025 edition of Giro d’Luca was made possible through the support of valued partners, with The Bellevue Resort Bohol and Bluewater Panglao Beach Resort serving as official hotel partners, providing exceptional hospitality and comfort to cyclists throughout the event. Nature’s

Spring also returned as the official hydration partner, ensuring participants stayed refreshed and supported across every leg of the scenic ride.

GCash Provides FREE Health Insurance to Millions of Filipinos through Buy Load Service

In line with the Philippines’ efforts to further boost the local insurance industry, GCash, the country’s leading finance super app, is introducing a new feature to unlock access to insurance for millions of Filipinos. The e-wallet is providing free health insurance, underwritten by FPG Insurance, every time eligible users buy prepaid credits for themselves using the Buy Load service.

“This initiative, powered by GInsure in partnership with FPG Insurance, reflects the commitment of GCash to making financial protection accessible to every Filipino, ensuring that even the simplest transactions, like buying prepaid load, come with the added security of health coverage at no extra cost,” said Winsley Bangit, vice president and group head of new businesses at GCash.

The country’s insurance penetration has been growing in recent years, but it remains below 2%. With millions of Buy Load users on the app primarily receiving mobile load, GCash sees an opportunity to protect more Filipinos, offering a valuable incentive beyond telecommunications.

Made possible by GInsure, every time eligible users make Buy Load transactions on the GCash app, they can also avail of the free health insurance coverage, empowering users to prepare for unexpected medical expenses due to accidents or hospitalization

“Beyond just financial assistance, this benefit ensures that users have funds to cover medical costs or compensate for lost income during recovery, helping prevent families from falling deeper into debt and alleviating financial struggles,” Ren-Ren Reyes, president and CEO of GCash mobile wallet operator G-Xchange, Inc.

The free health and accident insurance gives eligible users up to PHP 30,000 coverage and additional valuable benefits. For every load purchase, a user can automatically get PHP 10,000 in accidental death coverage, which can be accumulated up to a maximum of PHP 30,000 when making up to three separate eligible load purchases.

Users can also get income assistance when they’re hospitalized due to illnesses and accidents, allowing them to receive PHP 500 per day salary assistance for a maximum of 5 days. They can also get up to PHP 10,000 disablement benefit, providing the user or their beneficiaries a safety net.

GCash introduced this initiative in response to shifting user needs. With millions of Filipinos still hesitant to fully embrace digital transactions, they still rely on traditional offline methods. Now, with free health insurance seamlessly integrated into prepaid load transactions, users can enjoy more benefits when they go digital, making each purchase not just more convenient but also rewarding.

Back to School Blues? Beware the Rainy Season Boo-Boos!

Summer may be winding down, but a brand-new adventure for the kiddies is just around the corner —it’s back-to-school time! 

As kids swap beach towels for backpacks and chase new lessons instead of sunsets, parents know that school days come with their own set of challenges. And with the rainy season riding on their heels, extra health risks, especially for little tummies, may make a splash. From sneaky bacteria to sudden tummy troubles, it’s the perfect storm for an “Oops” moment.

But no need to panic, Mom and Dad! To get ahead, this quick guide will walk through the key moments of vulnerability you might have to look out for this upcoming back-to-school season: 

1. Baon Gone Wrong

Rainy school days often come with cravings for quick snacks—and kids are quick to grab whatever’s available, from canteen food to street eats or even sharing baon with classmates. While these treats may be tasty, parents often have no idea how they were prepared or stored. Without proper food handling, these snacks can become breeding grounds for bacteria—turning a fun break into a stomachache waiting to happen.

2. Shared Spaces, Shared Germs

With kids back in crowded classrooms and bustling playgrounds, sharing becomes second nature—whether it’s crayons, snacks, or, unfortunately, germs. In these busy spaces, bacteria can spread quickly through shared utensils, toys, or even by touching contaminated surfaces. One moment they’re high-fiving a classmate, the next they’re battling a surprise gut upset! 

3. Water, Water, Everywhere (But Not Always Clean!)

School days are stressful enough, but throw in the rainy season, and things can get messier! Flooded streets, dirty water, muddy playgrounds, and damp school grounds raise the risk of contamination, affecting drinking water and school hygiene. 

4. Stress and Schedule Shifts

Back-to-school season brings early mornings, homework, and extracurriculars—all of which can stress kids out. And when stress hits, the second brain, a.k.a. the gut, can take a hit too, leading to tummy troubles. That’s why supporting your kids’ gut is key to keeping them focused, energized, and ready to take on the school year. 

A+ Gut Health for Rainy Days and School Plays

As the school bells ring and rainy days roll in, staying proactive about your children’s gut health is more important now than ever. From hectic schedules to shared spaces and street food cravings, the season brings plenty of tummy trouble triggers — but with the right care, they don’t have to miss a beat. Probiotics play a vital role in maintaining this balance. 

Erceflora Probiotics with billions of 4-strain Intelli-spores is for all ages above 6 months old. It aims to aid in the enhancement of natural resistance to intestinal infections, the enhancement of intestinal ecology, the improvement of digestion, and the improvement of lactose malabsorption.

Erceflora Gut Defense helps improve digestion with 2 billion Intelli-spores—especially during routine changes or travel. Erceflora Gut Restore delivers 4 billion Intelli-spores— one mini bottle per day for 7 days from the onset of gut infection symptoms or as directed by a physician.

Remember, no matter how much you prepare your kids for school, life always happens! 

MAHALAGANG PAALALA: ANG ERCEFLORA GUT DEFENSE AT ERCEFLORA GUT RESTORE AY HINDI GAMOT AT HINDI DAPAT GAMITING PANGGAMOT SA ANUMANG URI NG SAKIT.

Swakto sa Tag-Init: Score Great Deals on Cooling Essentials with Home Credit

Taguig City, Philippines | Staying cool and comfortable at home has become more important than ever for Filipino families this summer as temperatures continue to rise across the country. According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), many areas are experiencing extreme heat, with heat indexes soaring between 42 and 47 degrees Celsius. Cooling appliances have become more of a necessity than a luxury.

Yet, upgrading or purchasing new cooling appliances often involves significant upfront cost. For families managing daily expenses, setting aside a large amount for a new appliance may not always be possible. This can lead to delays in acquiring the appliances needed, resulting in continued discomfort during the hottest months of the year.

Even water dispensers are included, which are ideal for staying hydrated during the intense heat.

Beyond cooling appliances, Swakto Summer Deals extend to other seasonal must-haves – including mobile phones for travel laptops for work-from-anywhere setups, and TVs and electronics to enhance home entertainment. Furniture is also part of the lineup, offering added comfort for the season, along with washing machines to help keep clothes fresh and clean.

SM Bulacan Malls Mark National Flag Day, Signal Start of Patriotism Season Until June 12

BULACAN, Philippines — With flags raised and hearts full of pride, SM malls across Bulacan joined the country in commemorating National Flag Day on May 28 — a meaningful start to the two-week countdown to Philippine Independence Day on June 12.

At exactly 8:00 a.m., simultaneous flag-raising ceremonies were held at SM City Marilao, SM City Baliwag, and SM Center Pulilan. The morning observance gathered mall employees, partner agencies, tenants, and security personnel in a unified tribute to the Philippine flag — the enduring symbol of the country’s freedom, unity, and identity. Shoppers and guests also paused to reflect on the flag’s legacy and meaning.

The activity kicks off a nationwide tradition encouraging Filipinos to proudly display the national flag in homes, workplaces, and establishments — a practice rooted in Presidential Proclamation No. 374, which marks May 28 as National Flag Day. The date honors the first unfurling of the Philippine flag in 1898 following the victorious Battle of Alapan.

After the singing of the national anthem, SM mall officials and security teams led the “Panunumpa sa Watawat ng Pilipinas,” reaffirming their patriotic commitment and encouraging civic pride among mallgoers and staff.

In the days leading up to June 12, SM malls in Bulacan will mount a variety of educational exhibits and interactive activities designed to promote historical awareness and foster national pride, particularly among the youth.

This initiative is in line with Executive Order No. 179 issued by former President Fidel V. Ramos, which extends the observance of National Flag Day through Independence Day — urging every Filipino to honor the nation’s heritage and renew their love for country.

SM Bulacan malls’ participation underscores their role not only as shopping destinations but also as pillars of community engagement and cultural expression. Through these civic efforts, SM continues to inspire unity, patriotism, and a deeper connection to the Filipino identity.

Bitget Wallet Unveils New Brand Identity, Celebrates Bitcoin Pizza Day with Metro Manila’s Crypto Community

Manila, Philippines, 28 May 2025 — Bitget Wallet, the leading non-custodial crypto wallet, has officially rolled out its new brand identity, reflecting its evolution into a full-service crypto platform for everyday use. The update introduces a new logo, simplified interface, and four key features: Trade, Earn, Pay, and Discover.

The rebrand brings forward Bitget Wallet’s commitment to the Crypto for Everyone Movement, aimed at onboarding the next billion users. The brand launched over $1 million in community incentives to reward users and drive deeper engagement with the platform.

With over 80 million global users and a 300% user growth in the last year, Bitget Wallet is gaining momentum across both emerging and established markets. According to the firm, the most rapid growth occurred in Africa (+959%), Europe (+367%), and the Middle East (+350%).

"The role of wallets is evolving — it's moving from a niche tool to one with real-world utility for everyday needs," said Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet. "This rebrand is part of a longer-term plan to make crypto accessible for everyone. We're building towards a future where interacting with crypto feels as easy as using Uber or PayPal," he added.

In the Philippines, Bitget has established itself as a trusted name among local users thanks to its seamless PHP integration, mobile-first experience, and grassroots community efforts. Initiatives such as PayFi in Siargao, Bitget Wallet Lite on Telegram, and recurring offline activations have brought practical crypto education and use cases to Filipinos across the country, from Metro Manila to the islands.

Jose Mendoza, Bitget’s Country Manager, introduced the reimagined Bitget Wallet during a Bitcoin Pizza Day celebration on 24 May 2025 at BGC, Taguig City. The event brought together hundreds of crypto enthusiasts, influencers, and community leaders to commemorate the historic moment when Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas in 2010.

The Manila gathering was part of a global Bitcoin Pizza Day initiative by Bitget, which hosted events across five continents and distributed pizzas to over 2,000 people. From May 19 to 24, celebrations took place in Metro Manila, along with cities like Abuja, Cape Town, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Mexico City, Lisbon, Barcelona, Florence, Milan, Athens, Penang, Dubai, Taipei, and Ho Chi Minh City.

Looking ahead, Bitget Wallet plans to integrate national QR payment systems, expand yield-earning tools, and support tokenized real-world assets like stocks and gold, bringing the next wave of crypto utility to users worldwide.

"Bitget Wallet stands strong with the essence of crypto extending beyond our decentralized vision, serving as a critical access layer across trading, earning, and payments for on-chain assets," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "Users now have an even more powerful tool—simple to use, accessible, and packed with capabilities—that connects people to opportunity, wherever they are, whenever they need.”
