Home Credit PH's 11th anniversary celebration highlights honoring 11 loyal customers

 


The country’s leading consumer finance company Home Credit Philippines (HCPH) welcomes its 11th year of establishment in the Philippines. This milestone marks over a decade of being the Filipinos’ financial ally and providing accessible and reliable financing services to its customers.

 

As it enters a new era of service, HCPH remains firm in its commitment to providing its customers with financing access. It continues to develop innovative financing solutions and credit opportunities to enable Filipinos to achieve their goals and to adapt to the changing financial landscape through various credit products and value-added services.

 

In its 11th year and having served 11 million customers, HCPH is dedicated to being the financial ally of every Filipino, empowering them at every stage of their lives. The company has diligently expanded its sales networks nationwide, reaching 75 out of 81 provinces to make its solutions accessible to those who need them the most.

 

A celebration of milestones and trust

As HCPH welcomed its 11th year of service, the company commemorated the occasion with an event highlighting its users’ tiwala for the brand. The affair showcased and thanked its customers who have trusted HCPH throughout the years and honored those who have remained loyal since the company was launched in 2013.

 

Eleven of the company’s loyal customers were recognized during a program held at Trinoma’s Activity Center on Oct 25. These patrons have availed of 11 or more products from HCPH. As a token of appreciation, they were each given a P20,000 cheque, had the opportunity to bond with HCPH’s brand ambassador Marian Rivera, and were serenaded by guest band Nobita.

 

“At Home Credit, we believe in building lasting partnerships with our customers. Our loyal customers are the heart of our brand, and their continued support has paved the way for our continued success in the past ten years. As we now welcome a new year of service, their trust serves as our fuel to grow and their support propels us to continue innovating our financial solutions,” Sheila Paul, HCPH Chief Marketing Officer, remarked.



A partnership built on trust

One of HCPH’s guests during its anniversary event was the Kapuso Primetime Queen herself, Marian Rivera, who, apart from bonding with the crowd and HCPH’s 11 loyal customers, was there to announce her partnership renewal with the company.

 

A brand ambassador for more than a year now, Marian agreed to continue her reign as the face of the country’s leading consumer finance company for two more years. Her return isn't just a routine endorsement—it's a bold statement about trust and her unwavering commitment to a brand that empowers Filipinos.

“A trusted brand ambassador is more than just a face—they are a reflection of the values and integrity that drive one’s brand’s growth. When a respected individual endorses our company, it sends a powerful message to our customers that their trust is valued, and their well-being is a priority.

This renewal of the partnership with Marian, who is known for her credibility and longevity in the entertainment industry aligns with Home Credit’s drive for trust and our commitment to being the Filipinos’ financial ally,” Paul added.

A financial ally in times of need

As the Filipinos’ trusted financial ally, and as part of its commitment to empowering them at every stage of their life, HCPH also recognizes its role in standing by its customers and communities in times of need.

 

As part of its immediate response to the recent typhoon that has impacted many lives across the country, HCPH also announced during the event that it will be making a financial contribution to a trusted charity close to Marian’s heart, the GMA Kapuso Foundation, to support relief efforts for those who were affected.

 

“Home Credit is committed to assisting those in need. Apart from our donation, we hope that our products, such as Home Credit Protect, will provide some relief during this difficult time. Whether it’s through home coverage plans or loan flexibility features, we want our customers to know that we are here to support them through every challenge,” Zdenek Jankovsky, HCPH Chief Business Development Officer, concluded.

Ogie Alcasid is Sendwave's new Brand Ambassador to Champion Secure Money Transfers

 


Good news to OFWs around the world and their families and loved ones in the Philippines.

Sendwave, an international money transfer service, announces a new partnership with Filipino music icon Ogie Alcasid. This collaboration highlights Ogie’s support for Sendwave’s mission of providing overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) with remittances that are secure, fast, and chargeno transfer fees*.

Janice Chang, Global Brand Lead for Sendwave Philippines, expressed her enthusiasm on the collaboration: “We're so excited to welcome Ogie Alcasid to the Sendwave community. Ogie is beloved among Filipino families all around the world for his talent, humor, and his deep connection to family values, making him the perfect ambassador for Sendwave. With Ogie on board, we’re confident we can further our mission of helping OFWs support their loved ones, no matter the distance by sending money with no transfer fees.”

With this, Alcasid shared that he has long admired OFWs’ commitment to provide for their families.

Noon pa man, saludo na ako sa ating mga OFW. Hindi biro ang kanilang pagkawalay at pakikibagay sa ibang bansa para magtrabaho. Naniniwala ako na sa tulong ng Sendwave, makakampante ang ating mga OFW na magpadala ng pera sa kanilang mga pamilya sa Pilipinas nang sigurado, mabilis, at affordable " he said.

(“I really look up to our OFWs. Being away from home and adapting to another country for work is so hard. I believe that, with Sendwave, our OFWs can feel confident that their families back home in the Philippines will receive their remittances in a safe, fast, and affordable way.”)

Sendwave was founded in 2014 and since it kicked off operations in the Philippines in 2021, it has simplified the remittance process for OFWs in an affordable way. Users can send money directly from their phones through the Sendwave app, as easily as sending a text message. The app ensures that hard-earned money reaches loved ones fast, eliminating the need for form-filling, queuing, visiting banks or remittance centers. Sendwave supports transfers to bank accounts, cash pickups and mobile wallets, offering a hassle-free experience without additional transfer fees.

Chang emphasized the importance of OFW remittances: “In 2023, OFW remittances constituted nearly 7.7% of the country's GDP. These remittances are essential to Filipino families, so it is our mission at Sendwave to ensure that OFWs can send their hard-earned money home easily, safely, and affordably."

As part of Zepz, Sendwave continues to expand its global reach, and with Ogie Alcasid as its new ambassador, the company is ready to launch exciting new campaigns to help OFWs stay connected with their families back home.

HONOR Magic7 Series to introduce Autopilot AI for Mobile


 

There is something to look forward to in the latest gadget of HONOR!

Global technology brand HONOR announced that its upcoming HONOR Magic7 Series will be powered by the revolutionary Snapdragon® 8 Elite Mobile Platform from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. At Snapdragon Summit 2024,
HONOR revealed its plans to develop an AI-first ecosystem. On stage, HONOR showcased groundbreaking AI features coming to the Magic7 Series, including the industry's first on-device AI Agent for an open ecosystem, and the first real-time NPU graphics rendering for mobile gaming. The company also gave a sneak peak of what its new flagship will look like.   
“Openness and collaboration are in our DNA,” commented Dr. Ray Guo, CMO of HONOR Device Co., Ltd. “With this collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, we are defining the AI-first ecosystem and revolutionizing user experiences for the AI era. We are thrilled to introduce the industry’s first AI Agent for an open ecosystem, and bring on-device generative AI to gaming powered by NPU computing for the first time. Welcome to the era of Autopilot AI for mobile.”  
 

“We are excited to work with HONOR to shape the future of AI and redefine how people interact with technology,” commented Chris Patrick, SVP and GM of Mobile Handsets, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Together, we're poised to push the boundaries of AI and create truly transformative experiences.” 
 
Autopilot AI for Mobile: Industry’s first AI Agent for an open ecosystem 
 
The HONOR Magic7 Series will debut the industry’s first on-device AI Agent for an open ecosystem. From a simple text or voice prompt, the AI Agent can order takeout on the user’s behalf. With consent, it can learn from users’ habits to make intelligent decisions, for example it can understand if the user prefers their coffee with coconut milk, and order accordingly. 

It can also find and cancel unwanted subscriptions across different apps with just a simple command, breaking boundaries between apps and services. The AI Agent can assist across a wide range of uses including travel planning, ticket booking, calendar scheduling, notification management, cross-app file transfer, and more. Set to launch on MagicOS 9.0 on the HONOR Magic7 Series, the AI Agent provides unparalleled convenience and ushers in the era of Autopilot AI. 



 
AI-empowered Hardware: On-device generative AI in gaming powered by NPU computing for the first time 
 
The upcoming HONOR Magic7 Series smartphone will bring on-device generative AI to gaming powered by NPU computing for the first time. The new series will introduce the industry’s first real-time AI graphics rendering for mobile gaming. Compared to other smartphones, HONOR’s solution reduces GPU load, leading to lower device temperatures and a better gaming experience with higher image quality. 

Seamless AI: MagicRing empowering the Snapdragon ecosystem  
  
Throughout the show, HONOR demonstrated how it is working together with Qualcomm Technologies to define the AI-first ecosystem, aimed to revolutionize user experiences in connectivity, interaction and performance. HONOR showed how its MagicRing technology is empowering the ecosystem across a range of products, apps, and services.  
 
MagicRing makes the multi-device AI experience easier, with its secure and smooth flow of services and information across devices. For example, when using Windows on Snapdragon, Cocreator allows users to produce detailed artwork from simple drawings. Powered by MagicRing, users can seamlessly access Cocreator on their HONOR MagicPad 2, drawing AI masterpieces with their Magic Pencil. They can also use the HONOR Magic V3’s AI Eraser on the HONOR MagicBook Art 14 to experience the convenience of mobile AI across all their devices.  
  
Empowered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite  and MagicOS 9.0, the HONOR Magic7 Series is set to usher in a new era of Autopilot AI with its intuitive AI Agent. The upcoming device will bring on-device generative AI to gaming powered by NPU computing for the first time.
