In a world where financial literacy is increasingly crucial, finding engaging ways to learn about money management can be a game-changer. Literally. Enter mortgagecalculator.org‘s money games section – a treasure trove of interactive tools designed to educate and entertain users on various aspects of personal finance.

Discovering this digital treasure trove, I was pleasantly taken aback by the multitude of games on offer. Among them, “Tap Supermarket” stood out vividly, sparking my curiosity. This virtual supermarket simulation presents a challenging task of managing stocks across various stations while expanding the store with new categories for shoppers. It mirrors the complexities of real-life store management, making the experience both immersive and rewarding. Through diligent effort, I successfully expanded my supermarket and achieved a coveted 5-star rating.

TAP SUPERMARKET – MORTGAGE CALCULATOR GAME

As a fan of simulation games and someone who enjoys a good challenge, stumbling upon the “Tap Supermarket” game on mortgagecalculator.org was a delightful surprise. From the moment I started playing, I was hooked.

What sets “Tap Supermarket” apart is its immersive gameplay and realistic depiction of managing a supermarket business. As someone who has always been fascinated by the intricacies of retail management, this game provided the perfect outlet for me to dive into that world.

The premise is simple yet engaging: as the manager of a virtual supermarket, it’s your job to ensure that all stations are stocked with the right items while expanding the store to attract more customers. Balancing inventory, optimizing layout, and meeting the needs of shoppers require strategic thinking and quick decision-making, keeping me on my toes at all times.

What I particularly enjoyed about “Tap Supermarket” is its attention to detail. From the design of the store layout to the variety of products available for purchase, every aspect feels meticulously crafted to provide an authentic shopping experience. It’s like running a real supermarket, minus the stress and overhead costs.

Moreover, the game’s progression system kept me motivated to keep playing. As I successfully managed my supermarket and met certain milestones, I was rewarded with new features, upgrades, and challenges to tackle. This sense of accomplishment made each gameplay session feel meaningful and satisfying.

Overall, “Tap Supermarket” is a stellar addition to the world of simulation games. Its blend of immersive gameplay, strategic depth, and satisfying progression makes it a must-play for anyone who enjoys management games or has ever dreamed of running their own store. Whether you’re a casual player looking for a fun way to pass the time or a seasoned gamer seeking a new challenge, “Tap Supermarket” offers something for everyone.

While exploring the selection of games on mortgage calculator games, I came across “City Builder.” Initially, I mistook it for a Sims-style game, but it pleasantly surprised me with its straightforward yet captivating gameplay. Rather than a traditional simulation, it’s a stacking block game but with a twist – players construct skyscrapers, adding an element of urban development to the mix.

CITY BUILDER – MORTGAGE CALCULATOR GAME

From the moment I started playing, I found myself immersed in the intricate art of urban planning and development.

What struck me immediately about City Builder was its intuitive interface and user-friendly design. Despite the complexity of managing a bustling metropolis, the game made it easy to get started, with helpful tutorials guiding me through the basics of city management. From zoning residential, commercial, and industrial areas to laying down roads and utilities, every aspect of building my dream city felt accessible and enjoyable.

But what truly sets City Builder apart is its attention to detail. As I watched my city grow from a small town into a sprawling metropolis, I was amazed by the level of customization and control the game offered. Whether I was optimizing traffic flow, balancing budgets, or responding to the needs of my citizens, every decision I made felt meaningful and impactful.

Moreover, City Builder goes beyond just creating a city – it simulates the dynamic interactions and challenges that come with urban life. From managing crime and pollution to providing essential services like healthcare and education, the game offers a realistic and engaging portrayal of the complexities of city governance.

One of the most rewarding aspects of playing City Builder is seeing the fruits of my labor come to life. Watching skyscrapers rise from the ground, bustling neighborhoods come alive with activity, and public spaces thrive with community engagement filled me with a sense of pride and accomplishment. It’s a testament to the game’s immersive gameplay and attention to detail that kept me coming back for more.

In conclusion, City Builder is a must-play for anyone with a passion for creativity, strategy, and urban planning. With its intuitive gameplay, depth of customization, and realistic simulation of city life, it offers a truly immersive gaming experience that will keep you entertained for hours on end. Whether you’re a seasoned city planner or just looking for a fun and engaging game to play, City Builder has something to offer for everyone.

Social media has been on fire speculating about Puregold collaborating with the hottest names in the local music scene. The buzz started after Puregold made two teaser posts on their social media this past April 12th that seemed to hint at an announcement involving major Pinoy pop artists.

The first post from that morning showed the following letters flashing on screen: SL, SB, FG, and BN. Finally, the following letters settled on the screen: GRFSB. These same letters were also in the video’s official title, #Puregold_GRFSB. This first video made it clear what those letters meant: Get ready for something big!

Later that day, another post would drop that provided more clues. Once again, labeled #Puregold_GRFSB, this time the post offered glimpses of multiple silhouetted figures. A close look at the video showed four images: three groups and a singular figure. The video ended by promising more to come in May 2024.

Luckily for curious fans and followers, Puregold served more.

On April 17, a video snippet of a song from the band SunKissed Lola was released. Best known for their hit song “Pasilyo” with over 204 million streams on Spotify alone, SunKissed Lola is now officially the first announced band to be part of this major music venture from Puregold.

Fans of the band were thrilled to find that the snippet teased brand new original music from SunKissed Lola. Even from just the 20 seconds shared in the video, it’s clear that fans will have much to look forward to when SunKissed Lola drops an original new song in collaboration with Puregold.

With lyrics like “Burahin ang anumang duda sa sarili mo,” the song promises to be an uplifting and inspiring anthem about confidence and believing in one’s self. Already, this teaser has given a glimpse of the always “panalo” vibe that Puregold has always put out through its various forms of marketing campaigns.

Seems like Puregold is looking to accomplish something massive in this music collaboration. Music fans all over the country are already waiting with bated breath for further announcements and confirmations about which artists will be next to link up with the retailer.

Stay tuned in! Subscribe now to Puregold Channel on YouTube, like @puregold.shopping on Facebook, follow @puregold_ph on Instagram and Twitter, and @puregoldph on TikTok for more updates.

In a significant leap forward of being the Rated # 1 Mobile Network in the Philippines, DITO Telecommunity, the fastest-growing telecom provider in the country, proudly launches its newest campaign, DITO SA PUSO KO, featuring Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera, the stars of the top-grossing Filipino film of all time – Rewind. This campaign celebrates their love for DITO with all the DITOZENS who motivate DITO’s constant pursuit of excellent customer satisfaction and digital innovations. 

The release of the heartwarming online video with a special rendition of the iconic Filipino song “Dito Sa Puso Ko” captures the meaning of DITO’s latest milestone of being the Rated #1 Mobile Network in the Philippines as awarded by Ookla, the global leader in network intelligence and connectivity insights. 

This campaign underscores DITO’s unwavering dedication to enriching the lives of the Filipino people, providing them with reliable connectivity and innovative solutions to help turn their digital aspirations into reality. It also reflects DITO’s growing fan base, with more and more Filipinos subscribing to its quality products and services.

“Our newest campaign isn’t just about showcasing our products and services; it’s about celebrating the mutual love that we have with our millions of DITOzens. Galing na mismo sa mga subscribers namin, as evidenced by the Ookla Rated #1 Mobile Network award, napusuan na talaga nila ang DITO. Truly grateful that we are now number one in their hearts and minds,” said Evelyn Jimenez, DITO Chief Revenue Officer-Consumer.

#1 power couple DongYan now joins the Rated # 1 Mobile Network in PH 

Renowned for their charm and charisma on and off screen, DITO brings in Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera, the stars of Rewind, as the power couple behind this new and exciting chapter in DITO’s journey. 

“Launching this campaign with Dingdong and Marian, the newest members of the DITO family, is a pivotal move to encourage more Filipinos to experience our next-generation technology. As we all know, Dingdong and Marian are not just big names in the Philippine entertainment industry; they are icons that inspire positive change and growth across diverse communities. Being the digital stars of DITO signifies not just a collaboration but a sweeping movement across the country—a shared vision of empowering and connecting more Filipinos nationwide,” said Jasper Evangelist, DITO Brand and Marketing Director.

In the recently released online video of DITO SA PUSO KO, Dingdong and Marian were initially seen as the only ones with hearts. Eventually, hearts blasted all over the place, spreading the DITO love to everybody. This scene reflects the journey of DITO; through the power of high-speed connectivity and value-for-money products, along with the DITOzens’ constant support and trust, DITO is now loved by millions of subscribers nationwide. 

“At the outset, breaking into the market was a really a daunting challenge, specially amidst the long-standing duopoly.  We needed to fight for our place on the table and establish who we are as a telco brand and what we really value as a company. Armed with a customer-centric mentality and a passion to make a difference , DITO thrived and flourished. We only started with thousands of subscribers, and now, after three years, we have millions of DITOzens who love and trust our brand and our products. And because of that, we are really grateful.” Jimenez added. 

Embracing this milestone and embarking on a new chapter with Dingdong and Marian is not merely a measure of success but a call to further elevate DITO’s standards. 

“As we embrace this achievement with grateful hearts, we also acknowledge that this is just the beginning of our journey. Moving forward, we remain steadfast in our commitment to provide, consistent customer satisfaction, value-driven products, and inclusive next-generation technology for the Filipino people,” Jimenez concluded.

In the Philippines, despite the financial industry’s recent attempts at digitalization, customers still face significant hurdles when it comes to accessing credit products. A recent study by TransUnion Philippines showed that 94% of Filipino Gen Zs see the importance of credit and lending products to reach their financial goals. Still, only 35% report having sufficient access to such products. 

“If you talk to any Filipino, there’s still significant frustration with the complexity, lack of transparency, and bureaucracy embedded in financial services. Only 8% of Filipinos own a credit card, largely because it is incredibly difficult to get one if you don’t already have one,”  said Danielle Cojuangco Abraham, Zed co-founder. 

Complicated application processes, tedious documentation, and arbitrary underwriting methods are among the challenges that disproportionately impact young people when applying for their first credit card accounts. Those lucky to get approved face astronomical APRs, punitive fees, and a broken customer experience. These observations led to the creation of Zed, the first credit card for young Filipino professionals.

“We founded Zed on the belief that young people in the Philippines and Southeast Asia deserve better financial products, better technology, and ultimately better service tailored to their lifestyles and exceeding their expectations,” Danielle added.

Created by two Stanford engineers and Y-Combinator alumni, Zed is a credit-led neobank regulated by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). Its first offering is a Mastercard Titanium credit card that boasts no interest, no foreign transaction fees, no annual fees and is backed by a groundbreaking app – all of which makes it the ideal credit card for everyday spending, travel, utilities, and everything in between.

“As a technology company from day one, we don’t have to pay for costly overhead like physical branches or bloated headcounts for manual, back office processes. We’re able to pass these savings on to customers in the form of no revolving interest, no fees, and excellent customer service. We started Zed on the premise that you could build financial services where a customer’s success was a core value,” said Steve Abraham, Zed co-founder. 

“Our proprietary technology platform allows us to remove the pain in traditional banking, deliver powerful first-to-market features, and provide a fair and transparent cost structure where both Zed and the customer could win,” he added.

This sentiment and Zed’s mission resonated with many Filipinos. The waitlist received almost 25,000 sign-ups within the first three weeks.

“Our business model is simple and purposely built to succeed only if our customers do. Our revenue comes from the interchange fee, a standard fee that gets charged to merchants by all banks for transactions that flow over the Mastercard network,” Steve explained.

First-in-market features tailored to the Gen Z lifestyle

Beyond no interest and no fees, the Zed card is backed by a robust and secure app that ensures that customers always have full and instant control of their expenses by giving them a real-time view of their transactions, the ability to set spending limits and access to fraud controls like the ability to lock/freeze a compromised card in the app.

Zed also puts a premium on user privacy and security by offering unlimited virtual cards: Users can generate unique credit card numbers to use with merchants so they never have to worry about their primary card details being exposed. Zed also provides zero liability for all unauthorized transactions and protects customers from paying for charges made without their permission.

In addition to these features, customers enjoy an effortless payment experience facilitated through the app, where they can generate an InstaPay QR code to instantly settle their monthly bill from any bank app or e-wallet, ensuring stress-free on-time payments. 

The streamlined application process also allows customers to complete the entire card application within minutes through the app, eliminating the need for cumbersome documentation or in-person visits to bank branches. 

Zed determines smart credit limits based on current and future income, rather than outdated credit scores, traditional career profiling, or existing card limits. This approach caters to young professionals with high incomes but limited credit histories.

“At Zed, we’re reimagining what a credit card could be – smarter underwriting, groundbreaking features, no fees, and a revenue model that doesn’t rely on a customer’s failure to pay down their balance,” said Danielle.

The Philippines is on track towards becoming a US$35 billion economy by 2025. But even with the promising outlook, the country’s workforce remains challenged by a digital skills gap that hampers its transformation into a truly digital nation. 

According to the 2023 World Digital Competitiveness Ranking by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), the Philippines ranked 59th out of 64 countries in overall digital competitiveness, showing low rankings on knowledge and talent (63rd), technology (51st), and future readiness (59th). This underscores an urgent need to prioritize digital skills development to ensure the country’s digital competitiveness and sustainable growth.

“In an era defined by digitalization, the importance of digital skills across industries has become undeniable. KodeGo was developed to create more accessible and affordable opportunities for Filipinos to upskill themselves and strengthen their employability with advanced to intermediate digital skills,” said Ina Gervasio, KodeGo Chief Executive Officer.

Launched in 2020, KodeGo is a study now, pay later edutech platform that provides accessible, comprehensive digital skills training programs, including the following:

  • Full-stack web development
  • Virtual Assistance
  • Virtual Bookkeeping
  • Basic transcription 

“As the Philippine tech industry gears up to expand to 2.5 million full-time employees and generate US$59 billion in revenues by 2028. It’s crucial to ensure our courses align with industry standards. Our mission at KodeGo goes beyond imparting new skills; we’re committed to ensuring our students are not just equipped for the job market but are also highly employable,” Gervasio said.

In line with this, KodeGo introduced a flexible payment scheme that includes a study-now-pay-later format while providing end-to-end career assistance and support for its students post-training. Each curriculum takes between two and 22 weeks to complete. 

To date, the platform has over 2,000 graduates, many of whom achieved meaningful employment opportunities with industry heavyweights including GCash and Accenture.

Kwentong KodeGo (KodeGo Stories)

At the forefront of KodeGo’s mission is the commitment to empower women and break barriers in the tech industry. To date, out of the almost 2,000 KodeGo graduates, 20% are women looking to learn and make a name for themselves in the tech industry, a number that is constantly growing.

Among Filipinas who took KodeGo’s courses is Lorie Pascual, a former music teacher whose career ground to a halt during the pandemic. While considering what to do to continue providing for her family, one of her churchmates encouraged her to join KodeGo’s full-stack web development boot camp.

“I thought I should try studying a tech course since I had a laptop and internet, I had enough to start with what I had, so I enrolled in KodeGo,” Lorie said.

After 12 weeks of full-time classes, Lorie completed the course and is now a web developer at Aemorph, an internet marketing service company based in Singapore.

Another successful KodeGo graduate is Lorraine Ostan, who had to drop out of her first year in college due to financial difficulties after her father lost his job as an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) in the United Arab Emirates.

She decided that she needed to find a job to help her family and raise her young child, which led her to take KodeGo’s full-stack web development program. Two weeks after completing the course, she landed a job in a Japanese offshore company as a web designer and eventually moved on as a software engineer. 

“Stories like Lorie’s and Lorraine’s are why we are deeply passionate about what we do. Their journeys highlight the power of education and the opportunities that arise when individuals are equipped with the right skills and support,” Gervasio said.

How to enroll at KodeGo

Those interested in enrolling at KodeGo should go visit kodego.ph, apply on the website, and take a short assessment test. 

Upon successful application, students will receive their KodeGo contracts and an invitation to an onboarding session to familiarize themselves with the curriculum and how to use the KodeGo platform. All that’s left to do is complete the training.

The Yushima Tenjin Shrine garden, holding 300 plum blossom trees is an oasis of calm in the frenetic metropolis. There are red bridges, manicured gardens, and a sense of well-being.

The Yushima Tenjin shrine is a two-minute walk from Exit 3 of Yushima Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line and is located near the Ueno Park.

The delicate blooms of the plum blossom tree are an essential part of Japanese springtime. Plum blossoms are celebrated in Japan for their beauty and endurance, they are the flower of renewal and they are sure to renew your interest in Japan!

TNT, the value brand of PLDT mobile wireless subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), has bagged a gold award for its viral SIM Registration video, “Mother,” at the prestigious AdFest 2024, touted as Asia’s most celebrated regional creative festival.

Mother,” which is part of a series of public service reminders encouraging subscribers to register their SIM, shows a woman who is struggling to prove her identity to her skeptical family as she spews out lines commonly used by scammers.

The video, which TNT produced with GIGIL Philippines and Arcade Film Factory, bested over 200 entries from all over the region in the Film Craft – Script category of AdFest’s Lotus Awards.

“This prestigious award is a result of a huge collaborative and creative effort by our internal teams and agency partners, who took to heart TNT’s mission of providing ‘saya’ or fun to subscribers even in conveying important public service reminders,” said Alex O. Caeg, Head of Smart Consumer Wireless Business.

“We also offer this recognition to our 34-million strong TNT subscribers, who comprise the Philippines’ biggest mobile brand, and serve as our inspiration for coming up with relevant services and impactful campaigns,”  Caeg added.

Launched in April 2023, TNT’s SIM Registration campaign videos quickly racked up over 100 million views across social media platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, with viewers organically sharing them for being “creative,” “funny” and “unskippable.”

Within just 10 days since the videos dropped,  over 7 million subscribers registered their SIM, proving the campaign’s effectiveness.

TNT’s gold Lotus Award at Adfest 2024 adds to a string of local and international recognitions for the viral SIM Registration campaign videos,  which includes being shortlisted at the  New York Festivals 2023 Advertising Awards, winning Silver at Boomerang 2023 Awards, and bagging Crystal Awards at Korea’s MAD Stars 2023, among others.

TNT is powered by Smart, which delivers the Philippines’ Best 5G Coverage and Best 5G Availability, according to independent analytics firm Opensignal.
