Just tap and go when you link your Maya Credit Card to Google Pay!




Filipinos practically run their entire lives on their phones — checking group chats, booking rides, and juggling a dozen errands in between. But even with everything going digital, paying with your phone can still slow you down – especially with QR codes. Scanning with your phone, waiting for SMS confirmation, or having cashiers take screenshots and double-check a QR payment? Suddenly, your quick stop turns into a waiting game.

Maya, the #1 Digital Bank in the Philippines, is changing that. As one of the first banks in the country to enable Google Pay for credit cards, Maya is putting next-generation payments directly in your hands. Yup, Android users can now tap and go by simply adding their Maya Credit Card to Google Wallet. Even better? Tap to Pay via the Maya app is coming soon, making paying faster and easier than ever.

Why Tap to Pay Just Makes Sense
Life moves fast—commuting, grabbing coffee, running errands between meetings. And through all of that, your phone is always in your hand. So, it only makes sense for paying to keep up.

It’s no wonder most prefer tapping with their credit cards. It’s quick, convenient, and comes with rewards. But there’s an even faster way to pay: Tapping with your phone. With Maya on Google Pay, your phone becomes your wallet. No digging through your bag, no fumbling for a card—just one motion and you’re done. Plus, you still get the rewards you love:

• Instant Maya Miles with your Maya Black Credit Card, and
• Cashback with your Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card.

An Easier & More Effortless Way to Pay
Paying with your Maya Credit Card on Google Pay is instant and incredibly smooth:
• Add your Maya Credit Card to the Google Wallet app
• Unlock your phone, open Google Wallet, and tap at any NFC-enabled terminal
• Pay anywhere Visa or Mastercard contactless is accepted globally

No extra steps. No friction. Just fast, secure, tap-and-go payments — whether you’re buying coffee, catching a ride, or checking out at your favorite stores.

Perks That Make Tapping Even Better
To celebrate this new way to pay, Maya and Visa are giving your PickUp Coffee run an upgrade. Tap to Pay with your Maya Credit Card via Google Pay and you get ₱50 off on your drink—yes, just for tapping. Your caffeine fix, now with tap-exclusive perks.

With this feature now available, you can finally ditch the unnecessary steps and go straight to the part that matters—tapping, earning, and getting on with your day. Paying shouldn’t slow your down, and now it won’t.

GMA Integrated News’ Vicky Morales triumphs as Presenter of the Year at the prestigious AIB Awards 2025

November 20, 2025



GMA Integrated News’ Vicky Morales triumphs as Presenter of the Year at the prestigious AIB Awards 2025



GMA Integrated News pillar and award-winning broadcaster Vicky Morales was honored as the “Presenter of the Year” at the globally recognized Association for International Broadcasting (AIB) Awards 2025). This esteemed international accolade, announced last November 14 in London, serves as a powerful recognition of Morales’ exceptional broadcasting skills and dedication to journalistic excellence.

Morales, who was previously shortlisted for the same Presenter of the Year award in 2023, secured the victory over other highly respected news presenters, including finalists from the BBC and Taiwan Plus. The judges described her as “a seasoned professional, full of authority and charisma.”

Her submission package highlighted her rigorous commitment to coverage, including her anchoring duties during the 2025 elections, her hosting of the news documentary Biyaheng Totoo: Sana sa Eleksyon 2025, and her coverage of significant world events like the death of Pope Francis and the election of the new Pope.

As one of the primary anchors for GMA Network’s flagship newscast 24 Oras, Morales presents critical breaking news and relevant updates to audiences every night. She co-anchors the multi-awarded program with Mel Tiangco and Emil Sumangil, which airs weeknights at 6:30 p.m. on the Kapuso Network and is also made available via livestreaming on the official GMA News accounts on YouTube and Facebook.

The award holds special meaning for Morales, who is celebrating her 35th year in the news industry.

24 Oras anchor Vicky Morales


“From the bottom of my heart, a huge thank you to our generous colleagues at the AIB for such a great honor. This is definitely a career highlight for me. All around the world, we cover stories that make us angry, sad, triumphant, and glad. But our job as journalists is to harness all these emotions and turn them into positive action,” she shared in her recorded acceptance speech.

She extended a message to the next generation of journalists, advising them to “do everything possible to turn in good work; be persistent but be a team player as it takes a village to mount a newscast; be a little loony to survive the craziness and be grateful every day for this awesome profession that allows us to make meaningful changes.”

Morales’ win not only underscores her status as one of the most prominent and credible news figures in the country but also affirms GMA Integrated News’ commitment as the “News Authority ng Filipino” guided by the principle: “Mas malaking misyon, mas malawak na paglilingkod sa bayan.”

STRAP Demands Accountability as Transgender Day of Remembrance Nears



Pioneer Transwomen Coalition Condemns Media Misgendering
and Sensationalism in Transfemicide Cases




MANILA, Philippines — The nation’s leading pioneer trans rights organization, the Society of Trans Women of the Philippines (STRAP), alongside political organization Ladlad Partylist 2 and advocacy group Verde Creatives, announced a crucial roundtable discussion on November 17, 2 PM at Dark Roast Coffeehouse located in 107 Maginhawa Street, Teacher's Village, Quezon City, addressing the devastating role of media misgendering and sensationalism in reporting cases of transfemicide.
Titled "MEDIA, MISGENDERING, AND MEMORY: HOW STORIES OF TRANSFEMICIDE ARE TOLD," the event, strategically timed during Transgender Awareness Week (November 13–19), just prior to the global Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20), calls for an immediate halt to journalistic practices that reinforce judicial impunity. The coalition asserts these practices are enabled by the Philippine government's decades-long failure to pass comprehensive legislative protections.

The Crisis of Post-Mortem Erasure
The roundtable is necessitated by a severe crisis of anti-trans violence, with advocates noting that at least 50 transgender or gender nonbinary individuals have been murdered across the archipelago since 2010, a number believed to be significantly higher. STRAP highlights that the media's consistent use of former names and incorrect pronouns — known as deadnaming and misgendering — in reporting these murders constitutes a final, systemic act of violence and historical erasure.
"Every time a transpinay is murdered, the refusal of certain media outlets to use her affirmed name and gender acts as a second, systemic execution," stated a representative from STRAP. "It is the final act of erasure, enabled by the lack of Legal Gender Recognition (LGR) in this country. Our roundtable is a demand to end this dehumanizing practice, ensuring that when we honor our sisters on TDOR, we recognize their truth and hold the systems that failed them accountable."

The Call for Legislative and Journalistic Overhaul
The systemic failure is traced directly to the legislative inertia in Congress. The Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression, and Sex Characteristics (SOGIESC) Equality Bill has been pending for over 20 years without passage. This decades-long delay conveys a message of institutional indifference that allows discrimination and violence to flourish.
The lack of LGR legislation is specifically identified as the root cause that allows official state misgendering in police and court documents, which the media then adopts, thereby institutionalizing the erasure of the victim's identity.

Ms. Bemz Benedito, Chair of Verde Creatives and a trailblazing transgender leader and former congressional nominee for Ladlad Partylist



Ms. Bemz Benedito, Chair of Verde Creatives and a trailblazing transgender leader and former congressional nominee for Ladlad Partylist, emphasized the political cost of inaction. “We should not be defined by our bodies nor should our sexual orientation and gender identity define our capabilities, skills and strengths. Yet, when media sensationalizes our deaths, they strip us of that dignity. The violence we face is a direct consequence of a state that refuses to pass the SOGIESC Bill. The death toll demands immediate implementation of protective laws and a complete overhaul of how trans lives and deaths are treated in the public sphere.”

By convening during this critical week, the coalition aims to reconnect the fight for modern trans rights with the nation's indigenous history, citing the pre-colonial reverence for gender diverse spiritual leaders like asogs and babaylans, whose acceptance was suppressed by colonial forces. The fight for ethical reporting is thus framed as a fight for cultural recognition and decolonial justice.

THE COALITION DEMANDS:
The Society of Trans Women of the Philippines (STRAP), Ladlad Partylist, and Verde Creatives issue the following non-negotiable demands to the Philippine Government and the Media Industry:
To the Government and Legislature:
1. Immediate passage of the SOGIESC Equality Bill to criminalize discrimination based on SOGIE.
2. Enactment of Legal Gender Recognition (LGR) legislation for trans and intersex people.
3. Inclusion of trans women in Anti-Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) laws and initiatives to ensure access to gender-based violence protections.


To the Media Industry:
1. Mandatory adoption of ethical reporting guidelines that require the use of the victim’s affirmed name and pronouns, prohibiting deadnaming 

2. Cessation of sensationalism that focuses on graphic or irrelevant details of the victim’s personal life, instead directing coverage toward systemic failures and accountability.

Transgender rights are fundamental human rights. This truth is absolute. When we commemorate those among us whose lives were stolen by bigotry, our purpose transcends grief — it becomes invincible action. Through the ages. like all victims of systemic oppression elsewhere, we forge our collective rage into strategic decisions, into unstoppable mobilization.


To our allies: Our demands are yours; join us in this struggle and you always do, and fight shoulder-to-shoulder with us.

To those in power: Your choice is simple: acknowledge our truth, implement justice, listen and act now, or we will dismantle every obstacle you build each time you create them.


We are not asking for a future where every transgender person can live freely and authentically. We are taking it. We will secure that victory. And we shall prevail.

Dingdong Dantes journeys across the country in GMA Public Affairs’ special documentary on anomalous infra projects

November 14, 2025



As the country reels from the multi-billion peso flood control project anomalies, GMA Public Affairs presents a special documentary, “Broken Roads, Broken Promises: Isang Paglalakbay Kasama si Dingdong Dantes,” airing this Saturday (November 15), 9:30 p.m. on GMA.


Multi-awarded actor Dingdong Dantes leads this compelling journey across the Philippines, bringing viewers face-to-face with the victims of systemic failure – where funds meant to protect communities from flooding were lost to corruption, leading to real floods that drown homes, schools, hospitals, and dreams.




Dantes stresses the urgency and impact of this documentary to the Filipinos, especially now that calls for truth and accountability grow louder.

“Napakahalaga [nito] lalo na sa panahon ngayon. Nakikita natin ang lahat ng nangyayari sa balita…Noong pumunta ako mismo doon sa ground, sa mga case studies, noong nagkaroon ng mukha ang mga kwentong ito, mas naintindihan ko kung gaano talaga kalala ang ating sitwasyon at kung gaano kahalagang magkaroon agad ng aksyon para rito,” Dantes shares.

He adds, “Bilang Pilipino, nakakabawas at nakakatanggal ng dangal talaga lalo ‘pag malaman mong pinagnanakawan ka. Kaya ‘Broken Roads, Broken Promises,’ dahil sa ating paglalakbay, nadi-discover natin ang mga pangakong napako at nasira. Gusto nating ibalik ang dangal at pag-asa because this is what we deserve.”


A journey towards “real progress”


The documentary begins in Bulacan, the epicenter of a massive corruption scandal. Despite billions spent on flood control, Dingdong uncovers unfinished, defective, or "ghost" projects.

One is a senior citizen who has to live in a house that has always been flooded in the past five years because she can’t afford to move. Another is a father who brings his daughter to school every day through knee-deep water.

Here, playgrounds that once echoed with laughter are now submerged, classrooms remain flooded – haunting symbols of broken promises despite “completed” projects.


Along the Bulacan river, Dingdong uncovers more signs of corruption — unfinished or projects that exist only on paper. Residents continue to cry for help as they live with the consequences: sinking homes, destroyed livelihoods, and uncertain futures.


In Pampanga, Dingdong crosses a potholed road in Apalit, a daily struggle for residents who pass through it.

The investigation extends far beyond Bulacan and Pampanga, revealing a national crisis of neglect while children and families risk their safety every day simply to study, work, or access basic services.



Dingdong travels all the way to Northern Samar, where he meets students attending classes in makeshift classrooms, beside an abandoned school building – one that could have changed their future if only it had been completed.

The team also discovers one of the most overpriced farm-to-market road projects in the Philippines, which was previously flagged in a Senate hearing.

In Zambales, children cross a broken bridge to reach school. In Nueva Ecija, farmers drag their produce through mud, sometimes letting their carabaos swim across rivers or using makeshift rafts to cross.

And in Maguindanao, one of the country’s poorest provinces, doctors and health workers hike through thick mud and slippery trails to bring vaccines and medical aid to residents isolated by inaccessible roads.

"Broken Roads, Broken Promises" is a powerful journey across the Philippines, exposing how corruption erodes not only infrastructure but also trust, dignity, and hope. Through every flooded classroom and muddy road, Dingdong Dantes shares the voices of Filipinos who continue to believe that real progress is possible.


Don’t miss “Broken Roads, Broken Promises: Isang Paglalakbay Kasama si Dingdong Dantes” this Saturday, November 15, at 9:30 p.m. on GMA.

Life After Diagnosis: TGP and PCEDM Empower Filipinos to Live Better with Diabetes


TOP (L-R): Dr. Jay Fonte – PCEDM Board Member, Dr. Karla Kristine Fernando – PCEDM Board Member, Dr. Celeste Ramos – PCEDM Board Member, Dr. Daveric Pagsisihan – PCEDM Board Member, Dr. Monica Therese Cating-Cabral – PCEDM Treasurer, Gladys Abaday – TGP Brand Communications Manager, Dr. Aurora Macaballug, PCEDM Past President, Dr. Andres Ebison Jr. - PCEDM Board Member
BOTTOM (L-R): Dr. Jerome Barrera – PCEDM Secretary, Dr. Elaine Cunanan – PCEDM Vice President, Dr. Lora May Tan-Tin Hay – PCEDM President, Aileen Natividad – TGP Deputy General Manager, Joanne Arceo – RRHI Drugstore Segment, Group General Manager, Abet Chao – TGP AVP Merchandising



So paano na nga kapag may diabetes ka na?
Magbabago ba ang buhay mo? Mahirap ba? These are the questions many Filipinos face upon learning they have diabetes—a chronic condition that, when unmanaged, can lead to serious health complications.
A Growing Health Concern Among Filipinos
According to the Department of Health (DOH), around 4.3 million Filipinos are currently living with diabetes, making it one of the top causes of death in the country.
Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that diabetes causes approximately 1.5 million deaths each year, with the Western Pacific Region—where the Philippines belongs—seeing a steady rise in prevalence.
These “scary” numbers reflect a harsh reality: while diabetes is common, it doesn’t have to control one’s life. With proper education, timely consultation, and the right treatment, Filipinos can live long, full lives even after diagnosis.
Living Better, Not Just Longer
Diabetes experts from the Philippine College of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism (PCEDM) remind the public that diabetes management is possible through simple, consistent habits anchored on their long-standing IWAS: 4Dapat Diabetes Campaign advocacy:
• Ikonsulta sa doktor
• Wastong pagkain
• Aktibong pamumuhay
• Sapat at angkop na gamot
These four steps emphasize the importance of early diagnosis, proper nutrition, physical activity, and adherence to doctor-prescribed medication—principles that can drastically improve quality of life after a diabetes diagnosis.

TGP and PCEDM: Partners in Advocacy
To make credible diabetes education more accessible to Filipinos, The Generics Pharmacy (TGP) has partnered with PCEDM through a formal Memorandum of Agreement signed by TGP Deputy General Manager Aileen Natividad and PCEDM President Dr. Lora May Tan-Tin Hay.

The partnership seeks to strengthen nationwide efforts in diabetes awareness, prevention, and management by combining TGP’s extensive retail and community network with PCEDM’s medical expertise.

“This partnership reinforces our mission to make healthcare more accessible and reliable for every Filipino. By working hand-in-hand with PCEDM’s advocacies and medical expertise, we aim to bridge the gap between awareness and action when it comes to diabetes prevention,” said Natividad.

“Through this collaboration, we want Filipinos to know that life after a diabetes diagnosis is still full of hope and possibilities—with the right care, education, and support,” shared Dr. Tan-Tin Hay.

Empowering Communities Nationwide
Under this collaboration, both organizations will roll out advocacy initiatives across digital, in-store, and on-ground platforms—including expert-led talks and community health engagements.

TGP will lead the implementation of advocacy content while augmenting the dissemination of PCEDM’s social media contents.
The campaign will begin this World Diabetes Day, November 14, encouraging Filipinos to take charge of their health and embrace a more proactive, informed approach to living with diabetes.
