Having peace of mind has always been a good thing. These days, we've seen so much of how insurance would have been beneficial for people.

It's a plan that includes a six month term Life Insurance, daily hospital income for 6 months, one time emergency care health plan, HMO coverage and daily hospital benefits all in one! 


This means that the emergency care element will be covering COVID19 care on an ex gratia basis until December 31, 2020. This entails Php 500,000 life insurance for death due to natural/accidental causes, Php 3,000 daily hospitalization income for 15 days if confinement is under 4 days due to accidental injury or sickness (15-90 days total hospitalization) within that 6 month coverage period. Chief Distribution Officer Raoul Littaua says "I hope our countrymen would take advantage of this while it is available, especially at a time like this as we are under a pandemic "

Currently, this is available in two packages from Php 11,750 and the other is Php 12,450 where the difference is emergency care in Manila's top 6 hospitals. This is only available for people ages 18 to 64. You may check the details at shop.insularhealthcare.com.ph because it's all there!

Double Cashback When You Order Food and PayMaya

Saturday, August 22, 2020




This thing popped up on my PayMaya app and yes I got hungry. I was supposed to order in Chowking but I'm a burger guy so I switched to Burger King. I didn't really know you could do this now and order via Facebook Messenger. I went to the official Burger King Facebook page and clicked on their Message button. I proceeded to choose a few items by initiating the bot with the Order Now command. You can actually do this in all Jollibee Foods Corporation restaurants so it's pretty handy.




They have very minimal delivery charges, even lower than Grab. Not that I'm insinuating anything, but anything to save a buck right? Aside from that, the order system was pretty simple. Although they don't have the restaurant promos listed on the menu. 



Unlike the Grab option, you can't track the driver. The only thing that kept me assured was, I was ordering in a legit page and they tell you when everything is packed and on its way to you. I paid via PayMaya by entering my phone number and password, which then sends an otp to you confirming payment. 



I then got an online receipt plus a text message of my transaction. It also sent me an email with all the details of my order.


It only took a few minutes after the last message of Burger King before I got the orders I made. The XL Chicken and Whopper was really good, although I think I generally ordered because of the Onion Rings. That hit the spot!





What's even better than the convenient order is that I got double CASHBACK from PayMaya. Albeit only one percent this instance, I usually get 10% or 100% when this promo happens, malas lang ako today LOL! The promo though is until the end of September so if you're looking to win cashbacks, now is the right time to do it. Although, you have to make sure your account is upgraded otherwise you won't qualify for it.

So what are you waiting for? Go order in these restaurants now and pay via PayMaya so you too can get double CASHBACK. 

I'm not gonna tell you twice!

Dare to Be Who You Are with the REALME C15

Thursday, August 20, 2020





The REALME C15 is the newest smartphone model released by the fastest growing brand realme. In the eve of a pandemic, where every man, woman, teen or person is looking for a phone that would be sufficient for online classes, photography, video and a little gaming on the side, this delivers quite nicely on their promise, plus two wonderful things, the battery life of 6000 mAh and the wonderful price point it is in.


We talked to their Marketing Lead Eason De Guzman yesterday on a blogger online meetup and he says "Dare to Be is one of our campaigns, our realme Fan Fest this August is all about having representation of who you are and what you are, to introduce a smartphone that would fit your lifestyle. We are going to make this fit you and not just settle on technical stuff. I am grateful for all your support for the brand and we want to elevate with what you can do with a companion smartphone, this no longer just promotion, but definitely something that would fit you. Realme fan fest will be happening the whole month, and we have tons of partnerships with brands like Angkas, via MLBB allstars Tournament, Forever21 Real Fashion challenge, realme Mobile Legends Cup Season 3. RMC is a partnership with Mobile Legends, for Tiktok Treats, we have Wave 2. We have tons of prizes in store where people can win points if you follow instructions and use it to get gadgets and phones as well. Angkas also is having Spot the Angkas where you need to take a photo of riders with the special #RealmexAngkas outfits.


He adds "We also have the Realme C15 launching soon (yes TODAY), it has the Helio G35 processor same as the C11. The upgrades are the first quad camera in the C Series, 13MP cam, black and white lens, 8MP lens and a rethro lens. This has up to 57 days of standby power because of the 6000 mAh battery. You can play lots of games, do calls, use the 18W fast charge which you can have 25% of juice in just 30minutes. C15 will be available in 3GB+64GB and 4GB+64GB variant. Only 1000 pcs will be available in Lazada PH only. We have plans and contests in the future which will be only for those who have it. It will be a huge celebration for Realme, we are determined to launch a 5G phone soon which you probably have seen in Smart ads/materials.”


I asked about why they are doing it in August which is known as the ghost month, he replied "We want to keep peoples morale up, this is more on giving back to the community, hence our partnerships with other brands. The clamor of our fans/community is being active still, so we are doing this even if it is ghost month. We are a brand that started hearing the needs of users who want more power and style. It is already worldwide, our global expansion is happening, we adhere to local culture and adaptation. This is why we are the fastest growing smartphone brand in just a small amount of time."






"The C15 has a polycarbonate plastic but is fingerprint resistant because of the pattern, it is textured and we heard that from users, then considered it. This is something that people are looking forward to now, people want to explore business, homeschooling, a battery that lasts longer than needed is what we gave this phone now."


Now here's a little unboxing video I made of the Realme C15, enjoy!




Also, here are some sample photos I shot yesterday while on my usual GCQ shopping/market trip for essentials.


Note: These are unedited and are compressed for web. These are in different sizes as the phone has got different frames and modes.




Food shots in regular frame
Now you know what I had for breakfast
Can't sleep so took a selfie
1x1 with a model street cat named Hurley (I made that up)
Nightmode inside my room (pitch black) but it still got a shot of my curtains
Full Frame shot after an afternoon monsoon rain
You can feel the emotions of the shot, because it was gloomy when I did this and it is gloomy on the output.


I have also taken videos using the time lapse and slow mo options of this phone and it did an excellent job despite my shaky hands. I bet I can use them for B rolls if ever I had a vlog for that too. It is available in two colors, Seagull Silver and Marine Blue. Imagine the countless hours of gaming and entertainment you can spend on one charge, that alone is AMAZING!


As for the price, they just released it just a few minutes ago and yes, it is under 7K. This doodle box exclusive phone is going to be available in Lazada as an Online Exclusive: Php6,490 3+64 starting August 20, 6:30PM. Also on 8.28 realme Super Brand Day.

The realme C15 will be available both online and offline (realme stores and official dealers) at Php6,990 for tue 4+64GB version starting August 21. You've got options if you've got cash, this was a good buy though.

Dare to be part of the Realme community!
