The Philippine Movie Press Club just concluded their election this 2021. For those who don't know, the organization is composed of entertainment professionals like journalist from dailies, magazines, tabloids, online media, radio and TV reporters in the Philippines.

Go Get Your GOMO Sim on Shopee!

 

 

I’ve heard of GOMO a couple months back when they were just in their infancy and honestly, I was so surprised they have had a very attractive offer for Filipinos who want big data without limits. Imagine, they’re giving us the opportunity to have a whopping 25GB worth of data with no expiry, the other networks must be scratching their heads why they are doing this, but really, why not?

GOMO presents a better alternative which is way good for content creators like me. I’ve been using every drop of data to upload photos, videos, even my blog posts because I do need to do it everyday. Currently, there are a few apps that carry them and since Shopee has everything in it, GOMO now has their own Shopee official store. Not only that, they're holding a huge GOMO Brand Day where they give out shop vouchers with Php 100 OFF for a minimum spend of Php 299. They also have Php 200 OFF for those who would spend Php 598. If you spend Php 897, you get Php 300 OFF this January 10th. That is unbelievable, but is happening right now!

 

Go check out their store here

 Oh and before I forget, they also offer FREE DELIVERY just for the 10th because it's GOMO Brand Day. If you don't have time today, you can still get vouchers off the Shopee app because they also release a lot of them in different times of the day. Go download the app now on Google Play or the App Store. Then just wait for it to arrive on your doorstep. 

 

 

Now don't say I didn't tell you huh!

REALME Philippines Opens 8 Service Centers

I've been using my realme 6i for a little under a year now and yes, I've been enjoying it a lot especially for my vlogs since I shoot and edit them on the same phone. I also take a lot of photos with it and sure enough, it has sufficiently made my blogging life easier because I didn't have to use other phones anymore to do things. That's a whole lotta chunk of my workflow in the past because I usually edit and record on Android and edit them on iPhone.

Being the number one selling phone in the Philippines, realme has transcended to be an alternative to most Android phones here in the country, and I've seen A LOT of people using it for gaming and the stuff I do too. Now, recently, they've copped the number one spot in sales for the Philippine market, and just like what Aunt May says, with great power comes great responsibility. When units sold go so fast like that, the need for after sales support also grows which is why realme Philippines is making sure they've got everything covered. They just recently opened 8 dedicated realme service centers in the Phillippines so now, you can take your phone and have it fixed, checked out and tested in different parts of the country.

They are now open in SM North EDSA in Quezon City (which I'm so near too), in Milan Prestige Building at Calamba Laguna. There's also Emerald Business Center in Pampanga, one in Robinsons Place in Imus Cavite, one in Big Ben Complex in Batangas, Plazuela Dos which is very near my hometown in Iloilo, Eusebio Arcade which is in Bacolod and last but definitely not the least, SM Lanang Premier which is in Davao City. That just means that it's going to be easier, way better for people to seek help when their phones get broken, a really neat thing to have peace of mind when you're just starting to love the brand. The best gamers, bloggers and vloggers are already using it, so if you're keen on making that phone purchase you've been holding onto during the pandemic, this might be the thing you're looking for. 

 

Go get your self acquainted with a realme. Support details can also be seen at https://www.realme.com/ph/support.

PayMaya Powers Cashless Payments at Philippine Statistics Authority

This is getting very interesting. For starters, it's a good thing that the government is finally adapting to cashless payments and to note, there's about 60 agencies that have already partnered with PayMaya. I've been using the app for a lot of things during the quarantine period which started about a year ago. Little did we know we're up for this huh?

Anyway, government transactions has always been important especially if you're bound to travel places, or to prove your identity, or have someone investigated especially if they're married or not LOL. Anyway, you and I know how important these documents are and yes, you only get them in the Philippine Statistics Authority. So if you're looking for birth certificates, death or civil registry, it's going to be easier and safer to pay for it now because they've managed to adapt to cashless payment with PayMaya. Thing is, this is just the start because soon, they're also going to be including the online channels of PSA too in the future. That means, everything will be online if that happens and imagine how convenient would that be if you're just going to wait at home and have those documents delivered to your doorstep. Ahh the convenience of technology.

Oh and of course if there's a PayMaya terminal, they would be able to use credit cards, debit cards and prepaid cards too. So if you're not carrying your PayMaya app or card, you don't need to worry because they can take that too. By the way, if you don't have PayMaya yet, go download it off Google Play or the App Store and use my code 2JH7062 so you can get 100 bucks for free. 

 

Isn't that a good thing?
