UMak Launches First-of-Its-Kind ‘Barter Boutique’ for Students

MAKATI CITY, Philippines (January 26, 2026) — The University of Makati (UMak), through its Center for Community Extension and Development (CCED), is redefining campus welfare with the official launch of the Pop-Up Corporate Boutique and Community Pantry.
"At UMak, we believe that a student's financial background should never be a barrier to their professional success," said UMak President Elyxzur Ramos. "This boutique is more than just a clothing drive; it is a lesson in solidarity. By trading a simple snack or a canned good for a corporate blazer, our students aren't just dressing for the job they want— sila ay nagtutulungan para sa kinabukasan ng bawat isa (they are helping each other for everyone's future)."
Breaking away from traditional donation models, this dual-purpose initiative allows students to "purchase" professional attire—essential for internships, job interviews, and academic presentations—not with money, but with basic food items for the community pantry. This innovative barter system ensures that students from less privileged backgrounds can meet professional requirements with dignity while simultaneously contributing to the university’s food security net.
The pop-up “Barter Boutique” located at the Lobby of the 4th Floor, Administration Building will be open once a month.
The boutique features pre-loved yet presentable corporate clothing, jewelry, and accessories donated by university employees and partner institutions. By promoting the reuse of quality apparel, the project also champions sustainable consumption and waste reduction within the Makati community.
The CCED will spearhead the long-term sustainability of the project, facilitating continuous resource mobilization from institutional stakeholders to ensure the boutique remains stocked for every graduating batch.

Equipped with a 7,000mAh battery for the OPPO A6 Pro and a 6,500mAh battery for its 5G variant, the device is designed to balance strong performance with efficient power management during heavy usage. It also has reverse wired charging functionality so you can use your OPPO A6 Pro as a handy powerbank when you need to refuel your other devices on the go.

GLoan Makes Borrowing Worry-Free with Free Health and Loan Insurance, Giving Borrowers Extra Protection

Fuse Financing Inc. (Fuse), the lending arm of GCash, is now giving free insurance coverage to GLoan borrowers with GLoan Protect. Available for a limited time, this newest feature provides borrowers with free loan and health insurance for every GLoan disbursement worth a minimum of P500, underwritten by Oona Insurance Corporation. This free insurance will waive pending loan balance in case of sudden customer demise or accident-related permanent disability, and provide resources to recover from medical emergencies.

Life and health emergencies can strike unexpectedly. For many Filipinos, sudden medical expenses or unexpected urgent costs can quickly lead to financial distress. Hospitalization and medical costs often result in heavy debt, while the lack of insurance leaves families with limited options to recover financially. 

“Oftentimes, Filipinos don’t think of insurance until it’s too late,” said Tony Isidro, president and CEO of Fuse Financing Inc., the lending arm of GCash. “With the free insurance, we’re making sure that every time someone gets a GLoan, they also get a safety net. It’s our way of helping users feel more secure and protected without them having to spend extra.”

By integrating protection into GLoan, GCash—through Fuse and GInsure, the digital insurance platform of GCash with inclusive insurance products across 11 categories including health, life, accident, travel, vehicle, and more —offers borrowers added peace of mind and a safety net against life’s uncertainties.

Under GLoan Protect, the free health insurance covers a hospitalization allowance given to all eligible users who avail of a GLoan worth a minimum amount of P500 moving forward. Users can claim a minimum of P500 or up to 10% of the total loan value when they get confined in the hospital for a minimum stay of 3 days. 

The loan insurance benefit is automatically activated once a customer receives their loan proceeds from GLoan, and coverage remains constant and valid until the end of the loan term even when the customer fully pays off their loan earlier than the loan’s due date. In case of customer demise or accident-related permanent disability, beneficiaries will receive the remaining loan value, and the remaining balance will be waived and settled. 

The policy will automatically appear in the GInsure dashboard, making the process simple and familiar for borrowers. Claims can be filed through the same steps used for other GInsure products. 

“We see this synergy between Fuse and GInsure as part of our mission to reimagine what finance can do for every Filipino,” said Winsley Bangit, group head of new businesses at Mynt, the parent company of GCash. “By combining credit and insurance on a single service, we’re pushing the boundaries of digital innovation to give Filipinos not just access to funding, but also the protection they deserve. It’s another step toward building a more inclusive and resilient financial ecosystem.”

GCash made this initiative possible in partnership with Oona Insurance Corporation, a wholly-owned company by Oona Philippines Holdings Corporation (OPHC), actively expanding into health and digital-first solutions that meet the needs of today’s consumers. Through this partnership, GCash is bringing essential protection to more Filipinos by integrating coverage directly into its widely used digital services. 

"Our mission at Oona is to make protection part of everyday life, not something out of reach. Partnering with Fuse and GCash shows how insurance can be embedded seamlessly into the financial services people already use, from borrowing to everyday transactions. By making coverage automatic and effortless, we take an important step toward closing the protection gap and ensuring more Filipinos have the security to move forward with confidence.” said Abhishek Bhatia, founder and CEO of Oona Insurance.

This added benefit strengthens GLoan’s role as more than just a lending option. It becomes a tool that provides quick access to funds and supports Filipinos in building resilience against emergencies. 

“This is about giving our users peace of mind,” Isidro said. “When someone takes out a loan, they’re usually thinking about solving an immediate need. By adding free insurance, we’re also helping them prepare for the unexpected. It’s a small change that can make a big difference in protecting families from unforeseen circumstances,” Isidro concluded. 

Through this enhanced offering, GCash continues to push its mission of financial inclusion — ensuring more Filipinos have access to services that can improve their financial security in both the short and long term.

GLoan Protect is now available to new GLoan transactions for a limited time starting on January 16 until March 31, 2026. Borrowers should be Filipino citizens, aged 21-65, fully-verified GCash users with a minimum loan approved and disbursed amount of PHP 500, and at least one month loan tenor.

From Philippines to the World: Cebuana Leads the Charge in Red Bull Dance Your Style 2026

MANILA, PHILIPPINES (January 22, 2026) – After years of persistence and three hard-fought attempts, Cebu’s own Sam Rivera, known in the community as NEMESIS, has emerged as the Philippines’ top freestyle dancer, earning her place on the global stage in Los Angeles.

She claimed the 2025 Red Bull Dance Your Style Philippines National Finals crown in front of her hometown crowd, a moment she described as “a dream come true.” The win propelled her to the World Finals, where she broke into the Top 16, solidifying her position among the world’s elite freestyle dancers.

Fighting Through the Struggles

NEMESIS’ journey began in Cebu’s krump community, shaped by local battles, long training sessions, and a tight-knit dance scene. Her Red Bull Dance Your Style story unfolded over three years: Top 8 in the 2023 Cebu qualifier, a near-win at nationals in 2024, and finally, her breakthrough in 2025. 

“The moment that changed me most was being in the finals last 2024. That experience made me look at myself differently — it was proof that I could win this competition because I made it as far as the finals. It humbled me, pushed me to train deeper, and made me realize that growth doesn’t always come from winning,” NEMESIS said. Each setback sharpened her discipline, pushing her to build not just strength and stamina through daily conditioning with her dance crew training, but also adaptability through freestyle labs where unpredictability became her greatest teacher.

Behind the scenes, her preparation went beyond physical exercises. NEMESIS balanced endurance training with mental conditioning, grounding herself through visualization, prayer, breathing exercises, and self-review to stay centered under pressure. That inner strength allowed her to dance with clarity and purpose, trusting instinct over pre-set moves and letting her honest emotions guide every dance battle.

“This year, the biggest difference was my mindset and maturity as a dancer. In my previous battles, I was focused on trying the experience and just enjoying it,” said NEMESIS. “This time, I came in with a goal, more self-awareness, confidence, and trust in my own style.” Her victory became the culmination of discipline, faith, and unwavering belief in her craft, strengthened by the support of family, friends, and her hometown community.

Carrying Filipino Freestyle to the Global Arena
From local qualifiers to the World Finals, NEMESIS proved that Filipino dancers can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best. Performing in Los Angeles challenged and inspired her, reinforcing the strength of Filipino freestyle on the global stage. “The moment I heard the crowd respond to my first round and saw dancers from other countries hyping and reacting, at that moment, I truly felt that Filipino dancers don’t just belong on that stage — we can be on par with the other international dancers,” NEMESIS said about her experience during the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Finals 2025. “You don’t need to change who you are to compete globally. Your roots are your strength. The world stage rewards authenticity. If you carry your story with confidence and discipline, you belong anywhere,” she added.

“Growing up in Cebu’s krump and street dance community gave me my foundation and identity. The scene here is raw, passionate, and very family-oriented. It taught me discipline, respect for the culture, and how to express real emotion through movement,” NEMESIS shared. Her balanced mix of technique, instinct, and commanding stage presence reflects both krump culture and the heart of Red Bull Dance Your Style’s freestyle identity. “Red Bull Philippines didn’t just create a competition; they created a platform for us dancers for growth. Through Red Bull Dance Your Style, I was exposed to different styles, cities, and high-level dancers that pushed me beyond my limits. It made me realize that my dreams are possible through their movement.”

A Symbol of Confidence and Community

As one of the few women dominating a traditionally male-led krump scene, NEMESIS has embraced the role of breaking barriers. “Being visible as a female dancer in this scene isn’t always easy, but the way Red Bull Philippines highlighted the culture and the dancers made me feel supported. That support encouraged me to step out more boldly, take opportunities I might have been afraid of before, and represent myself and other women with more openness and pride,” she explained.

“Being a woman in krump pushed me to become a dancer who’s both powerful and intentional. I embraced my own texture, emotion, and storytelling. That combination shaped a style that’s aggressive when it needs to be, but also expressive and controlled,” she said. Her presence has resonated with audiences and fellow dancers alike, highlighting how strength, femininity, and identity can coexist in freestyle battles. “When young women see me on that stage, I want them to feel like they belong there too, and it’s possible even in a male-dominated scene,” she shared. NEMESIS’ journey continues to inspire the Philippines’ tight-knit street dance community, showing how shared energy, creativity, and support can push local talent toward global recognition.

Summing up her experience being a part of Red Bull Dance Your Style, NEMESIS shared, “It’s expanded my world. More than exposure, it gave me responsibility and reach to represent my roots, my style, and my country on a global level.” NEMESIS was awarded Asian Krumper of the Year in 2025 and was nominated as Worldwide Female Krumper of the Year by FCD Awards. She credits Red Bull Dance Your Style as playing a big role in achieving these recognitions.

Opening the Floor for Red Bull Dance Your Style 2026


NEMESIS’ journey sets a new benchmark for Red Bull Dance Your Style 2026, with the competition already underway, with Titan emerging victorious in the Cebu qualifiers and Ian Paul securing the runner-up position, both earning their spots in the upcoming national finals. Bringing the next nationwide qualifier in Davao on February 21, then finally Manila in March. 

“I hope my journey shows Filipinos that you don’t need to come from a big scene or have perfect resources to reach the world stage. What matters is consistency, faith, and love for dance,” she said. “Trust your body’s instinct and enjoy your performance. Train hard, but don’t lose your love for the dance and purpose. Learn to accept losses, protect your mental health, and trust your preparation. If you stay present and true to yourself, the results will take care of themselves.”

Red Bull Dance Your Style 2026 calls on street dancers of all styles—hip-hop, popping, krump, waacking, and open choreo—to take the floor. Who will rise to represent the Philippines next?

Support the next generation of Filipino dancers and follow the Red Bull Dance Your Style 2026 qualifiers across Cebu, Davao, and Manila. For more information and updates, visit the official Red Bull website and its social media pages (Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Tiktok).

Security Bankers Raise Funds for 41 Scholars through Year-End, Employee-Led Initiatives

Makati City – Security Bankers rallied together at the close of 2025 to raise funds for 41 scholars under the Regalo Mo, Kinabukasan Ko (RMKK) scholarship program, through a series of employee-led initiatives held during the Bank’s year-end celebrations.

Implemented in collaboration with the Bank’s Learning and Engagement Division, the initiatives generated donations for Security Bank Foundation, Inc. (SBFI), supporting the educational needs of the Bank’s agency personnel—including security guards, janitors, messengers, and drivers—as well as their children.

Employees also extended their support through SBFI’s Adopt a Scholar campaign, contributing in various forms including cash, Cheers Points (the Bank’s employee recognition rewards), and Security Bank Credit Card Rewards points. Through these collective efforts, 41 RMKK scholars were adopted for School Year 2025–2026.
“This is a testament to how collective generosity can change lives,” shared SBFI Chairman Rafael Simpao, Jr. “Every contribution brings our scholars closer to realizing their dreams and building better futures for themselves and their families.”



The impact of the initiative was felt during the Christmas season, when adopted scholars wrote letters to their sponsors to express their gratitude and reaffirm their commitment to completing their education.

Trina Ortega, Employee Engagement Lead of Security Bank’s Learning and Engagement Division, shared a particularly moving moment when the mother of an RMKK scholar— herself a bank security guard—visited the office to personally express her appreciation for the opportunity given to her daughter.
Through the continued collaboration between Security Bank and Security Bank Foundation, employee-led initiatives remain a meaningful avenue to expanding access to education and uplifting the communities the Bank serves.

Filipino Digital Bayanihan in Action: Php 64M Raised via GBayanihan to Support Local Communities and Causes


GCash, the Philippines’ leading mobile finance super app, continues to advance financial inclusion and community initiatives through its tech-for-good efforts, as Filipinos raised ₱64 million in 2025 via GBayanihan, its in-app digital donation platform. GBayanihan removes barriers to giving by connecting millions of GCash users directly to vetted NGOs nationwide, enabling seamless and transparent contributions using their mobile phones.

 

Making bayanihan always-on for Filipinos

 

By integrating donations directly into the GCash app, GBayanihan connects Filipinos to NGOs in remote and underserved areas where traditional donation channels are limited. The platform offers a seamless, transparent, and mobile-first experience that removes barriers to giving. It also enables overseas Filipinos to contribute directly to local NGOs without having to navigate complex remittance channels, and fosters a culture of giving that extends beyond borders.

 

Users can explore various vetted advocacies, donate instantly using their GCash wallet, and receive immediate confirmation, all while ensuring contributions reach credible organizations that hold public solicitation permits and Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC) accreditation.

 

Turning holiday celebrations into community support

 

Partnering with the Manila Symphony Orchestra, the year-end concert “A Yule Concert: The Magic of Christmas” brought together partners from the public, private, and advocacy sectors to celebrate digital bayanihan. GCash also contributed on behalf of guests to assist partner NGOs, advocacy partners, and the communities they serve, which demonstrates GBayanihan's role in mobilizing nationwide community assistance.

 

Strengthening the bayanihan movement with new advocacy partners

 

A three-day ceremonial signing was held in July 2025 with 27 accredited NGOs, signaling the start of their onboarding to GBayanihan. 11 more partner organizations will be available on the GCash GBayanihan feature starting December 2025, while more PCNC-vetted NGO partners are expected to be onboarded in 2026, expanding access to millions of GCash users and potential donors nationwide.

 

NGO partners have highlighted how GBayanihan has strengthened their reach and improved transparency. Claudine Manuel, assistant program manager at Megawide Corporate Foundation, noted that digital donations eliminate delays and tracking challenges common in manual systems. Tricia Anne Mandap, resource mobilization officer at ABS-CBN Foundation, said the platform allows them to connect with more Filipinos while ensuring contributions remain safe, transparent, and aligned with their mission. Charlene Diaz, manager for marketing and donor relations at Ayala Foundation, described GBayanihan as a meaningful way for donors to support communities both online and in person.

 

"With GBayanihan, Filipinos can easily support NGOs that respond to disasters, serve marginalized groups, and provide access to health and education," explained CJ Alegre, GCash head of sustainability. "This is more than a program—it's a movement."

 

Through its full suite of digital tools, GCash continues to help Filipinos contribute to meaningful causes while supporting NGOs in reaching more communities efficiently and transparently, driving inclusive growth, and fostering a culture of giving that benefits every Filipino.

The Medical Wellness Association Declares 2026 as “The Year of the Sardine”


The Medical Wellness Association (MWA), in its mission to improve wellness of the World’s consumers, has declared 2026 as “The Year of the Sardine”. The aim is to educate and inspire consumers across the globe on the wellness benefits of eating real, nutritionally dense foods--with sardines being one of the optimal and most affordable choices available. 

“Given the consistent worsening of wellness metrics across most of the developed world, it is clear the wellness community needs to course-correct its recommendations to the public.  Metabolic Health is rapidly being revealed in research as an underlying key to wellness, from preventing classic metabolic diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver, to cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, and even kidney and liver dysfunction”, says Dr. Christopher Breuleux, President of the USA based MWA.

According to MWA Board Member and Faculty Member, James Michael Laffety, “sardines represent one of the stronger options to combat metabolic disease. By consisting of proteins and Omega 3 fats and loaded with a high density of essential vitamins and minerals; coupled with being one of the most cost-effective proteins available, it really is a ‘superfood’.  We believe declaring 2026 as the year of the sardine, is a simple and clear call to action consumers can easily act upon.”

He added that sardines have been garnering heavy press recently, with leading physicians and wellness gurus from around the world promoting concepts such as “the 3 day sardine fast” across social media from Instagram to X. Sardines have been featured on globally leading podcasts, and as the world shifts its focus to metabolic health, it would seem this trend will only increase.

“Globally, in recent years the sardines’ market has increased at an annual rate of +7.5%, pre-dating the increased focus on metabolic health. The MWA forecasts annual growth to become double-digit, or 10%+ from 2026 onward, given increased education and awareness, and the recent changes to the US Food Pyramid as deployed last week. And this is a good harbinger for improved wellness across the world,” shared Mr. Lafferty.

Because of the health and wellness benefits, MWA has been active at reviewing the sardine category for several years. In mid-2025, after a review of sardine brands, they awarded the prestigious “Superfood” seal to Mega Sardines, a Filipino brand, based on the purity of their fishing waters in the South Pacific, coupled with Mega’s unique “Catch to can in 12 hours” vertically integrated production process, which ensures unsurpassed freshness for a canned sardine.

Mega Prime Foods, Inc. is a 50-year-old company that embraces the Filipino concept of “Malasakit”, which means “Giving to society without any expectation of payment in return”. As the company has embraced this philosophy and has seized on the MWA seal to drive the category, they have emerged as the leader driving knowledge, education, and awareness across the globe.

The company is actively developing a battery of clinical studies, underwritten by major universities, to expand the range of knowledge on food choices and impact on metabolic health. Ms. Michelle Tiu Lim Chan, CEO of Mega Prime Foods, sums it up best: “It all starts with our cultural value of Malasakit, and we are proud to be serving consumers in the Philippines and around the globe, high quality and high value foods that improve their health. We see the “Superfood” seal from the MWA, and being the sole brand in the world to earn this, as the culmination of our commitment to our consumers for the past 50 years. My father and mother started this mission, and it is my honor to continue it for another 50 years and beyond.” 

Coca-Cola Philippines Drives Water Stewardship With Reforestation activity at La Mesa Watershed

MANILA, Philippines, January 19, 2025– Coca-Cola Philippines employees gathered at La Mesa Dam on December 17, 2025 for a tree-planting activity with the Million Trees Foundation, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainability through hands-on volunteerism. The effort highlighted how corporate participation and community action can help protect one of Metro Manila’s most critical water sources.

At the Million Trees Nursery and Eco Learning Center within the La Mesa Watershed in Quezon City, Coca-Cola Philippines employees came together to plant native seedlings. The initiative forms part of the larger Annual Million Trees Challenge (AMTC), a long-term watershed rehabilitation program that began under Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) and is now being sustained by the Million Trees Foundation, Inc. (MTFI) with the goal of planting 10 million more trees by 2030.

La Mesa Dam is Metro Manila’s primary watershed and one of the remaining major forest reserves in the region. Its protection is essential to ensuring clean, stable water supply for the capital. Reforestation efforts—especially those that focus on tree-growing, not just tree-planting—contribute to soil conservation, improved groundwater recharge, and long-term ecological resilience.

“The strength of the Million Trees Initiative comes from collective effort. When partners like Coca-Cola Philippines show up on the ground, it accelerates our work to restore critical watersheds like La Mesa,” Mr. Melandrew T. Velasco, Million Trees Foundation Inc, President and Executive Director, “Each seedling planted today is part of a bigger commitment to protect the ecosystems that support millions of Filipinos.”

For employee volunteers, the activity was a meaningful way to take part in environmental protection while gaining a deeper appreciation of watershed stewardship — a core focus of the company’s Sustainability Matters campaign.  “Today proved that sustainability is about action — and that small efforts become meaningful when we work as one.” said Maria Christine Garcia, Senior Director of Public Affairs, Communications and Sustainability of Coca-Cola Philippines.

Tony del Rosario, President of Coca-Cola Philippines and Vice President for Franchise Operations East of Coca-Cola Far East Limited (CCFEL), underscored how employee volunteerism strengthens the company’s sustainability goals.

“Our sustainability journey is grounded in strong partnerships, long-term commitments, and the dedication of our people. Initiatives like this underscore the vital role each of us plays in safeguarding essential resources such as the La Mesa Watershed,” said Tony del Rosario, President of Coca-Cola Philippines and Vice President for Franchise Operations East of Coca-Cola Far East Limited. “This activity reflects our broader commitment to environmental stewardship and to collaborating with communities and partners to create lasting, meaningful impact.”

MANILA, PH – January 2026 – Reaffirming its commitment to extending aid in times of crisis, Sun Life has donated CAD 150,000 (PHP 6.3M) to communities devastated by the magnitude 6.9 earthquake in Central Visayas, and the destructive impact of Typhoon Tino and Super Typhoon Uwan.

With Save the Children Philippines as the implementing partner, the funding will provide modular temporary learning spaces that are child-friendly and accessible to learners with disabilities, alongside clean water, sanitation and hygiene facilities, emergency power stations, and internet connection. Complementary interventions, such as learning continuity kits with essential educational and psychosocial support materials, and emergency communication lines, will also be given.

Sun Life likewise aided response through World Vision Philippines, where CAD 50,000 (PHP 2.1M) was used to provide 350 families with emergency relief packs containing hygiene kits, non-food items such as blankets, mosquito nets, and lamps, and learner kits for children. Another CAD 50,000 (PHP 2.1M) went to typhoon relief efforts in Pangasinan, where 350 families received emergency relief packs to help them recover from Typhoon Tino and Super Typhoon Uwan’s impact.

Meanwhile, Sun Life Financial-Philippines Foundation, Inc. (Sun Life Foundation), the philanthropic arm of Sun Life Philippines, also responded to recent natural calamities through its partnership with ABS-CBN Foundation. Food packs were distributed to 600 families affected by the Cebu earthquake and 585 families in Masbate recovering from the effects of Typhoon Opong.

The Philippines ranks as one of the most disaster-prone countries, situated within the Pacific Ring of Fire and experiencing on average 20 typhoons annually.

“More than our way of supporting communities, this donation symbolizes our firm commitment to standing with our fellow Filipinos during their most vulnerable moments,” said Benedict Sison, CEO and Country Head of Sun Life Philippines. “As a partner to Filipinos, we aim to help rebuild lives and restore hope for a brighter future.”

Pinoys like to party, and there’s nothing like starting the year with one of the country’s most anticipated festivals: Sinulog. From early-morning flights to jam-packed itineraries, this Cebuano celebration draws thousands of revelers from all over the Philippines for a whirlwind of street dancing, food trips, reunions, and nonstop movement—exciting, yes, but also physically demanding.

Between travel stress, long days on your feet, and indulging in Cebu’s iconic lechon and street food, tummy troubles can easily crash the party. That’s why Erceflora steps in as the newest must-have in this year’s Cebu trip kit—helping festival-goers stay ready for all the fun, without worrying about gut problems getting in the way of the celebration.
