Home Credit, OWWA partner to honor OFWs in Western Visayas

February 24, 2023





Home Credit Philippines, the country’s leading consumer finance company, in partnership with Overseas Workers Welfare Association (OWWA), honored the heroes of the modern age, the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), during the OFW Family Day Caravan in Western Visayas.

The two-week-long caravan was attended by over 2,000 OFWs and OFW associations combined from the provinces of Antique, Capiz, Guimaras, Iloilo, and Negros Occidental. The program aimed to create an avenue for the OFWs and their families to reconnect and spend quality time with their loved ones.





Aside from family bonding activities, the caravan also opened conversations on financial literacy and education, addressing the common problems of OFWs spending years working abroad only to come home with little to no savings.

“Our main goal for the caravan was to show appreciation for the Filipino migrant workers. We want to empower them to make informed decisions on how to spend and manage their hard-earned money from working overseas. We at OWWA Region 6 support our OFWs all the way, and we want them to succeed and secure a better life for themselves and their families,” said Rizza Joy Moldes, OWWA Region 6 OIC director.

LINK TO THE OFW FAMILY DAY CARAVAN

Throughout the caravan, Home Credit led the discussions on the basics of budgeting and saving as part of its advocacy program to promote financial literacy across the country. The OFWs were also given knowledge on safe consumer finance options they could explore while protecting themselves and their families from bad debts and financial risks.

“We at Home Credit honor the modern-day heroes of our country. They are an inspiration to many Filipinos as they serve as examples of strength and perseverance. As they strive to make ends meet for their families, we are committed to providing them with the proper knowledge to handle their finances to avoid financial mismanagement and risks. We will continue to support the OFWs and be their trusted ally Para sa Life,” shares Sheila Paul, Home Credit’s chief marketing officer.

White Castle Whisky advocates body positivity with Ria Atayde in 2023 Calendar

February 17, 2023


White Castle Calendar Girl, Ms. Ria Atayde with Destileria Limtuaco's Top Management headed by executives and CEO Ms. Olivia Limpe-Aw, SVP for International Sales and Manufacturing, Mr. Benny Aw. 


DESTILERIA Limtuaco & Co., Inc. marks the 60th anniversary of White Castle Whisky with Ria Atayde as its 2023 White Castle Whisky Girl.
 
The image of the White Castle Girl clad in a red bikini atop a white horse has been immortalized in Philippine pop culture. And Ria Atayde now joins the prestigious roster of White Castle girls which includes Evangeline Pascual, Lorna Tolentino, Techie Agbayani, Carmi Martin, Maria Isabel Lopez, Cristina Gonzales, Glydel Mercado, and Roxanne Guinoo to name a few.
 
With the internet age, White Castle Whisky did the unthinkable. Just before 2021, the brand shocked netizens when they unveiled YouTube chef and content creator Ninong Ry as their first ever White Castle Boy. “We weren’t looking to take ourselves too seriously at the time. Coming from the pandemic and working with our tagline Dapat Light Lang, we decided that we should feature someone that had also persevered and created a following during the pandemic,” shares Aaron James Limpe Aw, Executive Vice President of Destileria Limtuaco. “Ninong Ry created some content for us during the year and we thought why not support those who supported us.” 
 
In 2021, the brand decided to give the reigns to the people as they opened the calendar model title to the public. During this public online search, it was TikTok sensation Sassa Gurl who came out on top and her 2022 White Castle Calendar was lauded for being truly inclusive and a win for the LGBT community. “It wasn’t our intention initially and it was definitely a gamble. We knew there were those who would have negative reactions to our move,” shares Brandon Jon Limpe Aw, VP for Administration of Destileria Limtuaco.

Regardless, the move created a media firestorm and the brand soon realized that it could do so much more with their annual calendar release. As Destileria Limtuaco President and CEO Olivia Limpe-Aw put it, “we had released past calendars that launched the careers of actresses and models. With that kind of clout, we decided that we could use this platform to launch different causes and advocacies.”
 
“Sexy calendars have become a contentious concept. The featured beauty standards have been deemed unrealistic and not representative of the everyday female,” says Limpe-Aw. 
 
Ria Atayde, who is a champion of body positivity, through this calendar, shows us that you are at your sexiest when you’re comfortable with and confident in yourself. “Beauty comes in countless forms, shapes, and sizes. At this day and age, beauty cannot and should not be confined in a singular mold,” says Ria. “I am honored to be chosen as a White Castle Whisky Girl as the brand allows and supports me in my advocacy to empower each and every woman to embrace her femininity and celebrate her body.” 
 
Together, White Castle Whisky and Ria Atayde aims to join hand-in-hand in sending out a positive and affirming message on the vast diversity of beauty and the multiple variations of what it truly means to be confident and sexy in the hopes of enabling millions of women to embrace the power that they wield as they all stand united in making the world a better place.

The Gigi Vibes band right after their "G Rules" concert presscon held at the Solaire just recently 

I've known Gigi as one of the contestants and finalists in "Showtime's 'Tawag Ng Tanghalan.'" And she was also one of our bets before since she performs very differently and has her own style. Her voice was very soothing and appealing that whenever you hear her sing, you tend to leave everything and just focus on her soft voice. 

Then during the pandemic, Gigi and her bandmates "The Gigi Vibes" started to stream via YouTube to give entertainment to everyone who' were all stuck in their respective homes or areas. It was also a way of expressing their passion for singing and it served as an outlet for them while helping other cope up with the situation. 

Let us join Gigi De Lana and the Gigi Vibes band as they headlne a night full of rollercoaster emotions through music in the “G Rules” concert happening at The Theatre at Solaire on February 18 (Saturday) at 8pm.

Gigi de Lana 

 

After the success of their “Domination” concert tour last year in Manila, the Middle East, and the U.S., Gigi and her bandmates composed of Jon Cruz (musical director, keyboard), Jake Manalo (bass), Julius Traqueña (guitar), and Romeo Marquez (drums) are once again rocking everyone’s hearts out with their original songs and amazing covers that have taken the internet by storm.






“Actually, we wanted it to be as intimate as possible, yung abot kamay lang nila kami,” kwento ni Gigi tungkol sa nalalapit na event. “It will be something new, tampok ang mixed emotions sa show namin. And syempre hindi mawawala ang kulitan.”
 
Gigi, a Star Magic talent and Rise Studio artist, introduced in 2022 her self-titled debut album that earned over 3.9 million streams on Spotify by yearend. It features the hit song “Sakalam” and key track “O Bakit Ba.”
 
Also included in the album released under Star Music are several soundtracks including “Akin Ka Na Lang” from the ABS-CBN series “A Family Affair, “Sa Dulo” from “The Broken Marriage Vow,” and “Nasa’yo Ako” from “Viral Scandal.” Also, part of the album is her version of “Bakit Nga Ba Mahal Kita,” the official theme song of “Hello Heart” which she starred in alongside Gerald Anderson.
 

Hope you'll watch their video about how the band started and their backstroy recorded during the presscon
