Maria Theresa Aguilar (middle), winner of the EastWest Puregold Always Panalo Visa Raffle Promo, receives her BYD Seagull EV from EastWest’s Romae Bargo (Product Management Officer) and Krisselle Sison (SAVP and Elite Products Head)

East West Banking Corporation (EastWest), together with Puregold Price Club, has awarded a BYD Seagull to the grand prize winner of the EastWest Puregold Always Panalo Visa Raffle Promo, highlighting how routine grocery spending and everyday card use can translate into major rewards.

The grand prize winner is Maria Theresa Aguilar, 28, a virtual assistant from Biñan, Laguna. A regular shopper at Puregold Pavilion Biñan, Aguilar said she applied for the EastWest Puregold Always Panalo Visa credit card after learning that cardholders could earn raffle entries through both card acquisition and qualified transactions.

“Hindi ko akalain na ako ang mananalo, lalo na sa dami ng nagsho-shop sa Puregold nationwide,” Aguilar said.

Aguilar said the vehicle will support her family’s day-to-day needs—especially trips for her father’s regular medical check-ups from Batangas to Manila. “Imbes na mamasahe, malaking tulong itong sasakyan sa amin,” she added.

Running from April 22 to August 31, 2025, the raffle promo gave cardholders chances to win through card acquisition and ongoing usage. EastWest said participants earned raffle entries via qualified purchases at Puregold as well as transactions made elsewhere, regardless of spending amount.

Francis Ramon Tioseco, EastWest First Vice President and Head of Cards Product, Campaigns, and Marketing, said the initiative reflects the bank’s purpose-driven approach to customer engagement.

“We design our products and campaigns around real Filipino lifestyles—daily grocery runs, family priorities, and the need for convenience. The EastWest Puregold Always Panalo Visa promo turns ordinary spending into extraordinary rewards, and we’re proud to see it make a real difference for our customers,” Tioseco said.

EastWest said it will continue building partnerships anchored in relevance, accessibility, and trust, strengthening its customer-focused banking proposition through practical financial solutions and rewards tied to everyday needs.

Top local merchants sell 6x more items at Shopee's 9.9 Super Shopping Day

 

The leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan continues to create memorable shopping experiences at 9.9 Super Shopping Day. Boosted by increased shopper traffic and support from Shopee's platform tools, top local sellers sold 6 times more items on 9 September than on an average day. These seller offerings in turn created more value for customers, who snapped up the best promotions and mas mura prices on items ranging from their daily essentials to the latest gadgets. 

Shopee’s 9.9 Super Shopping Day brings more benefits to Filipinos by providing buyers with convenient shopping experiences at the best deals, while helping sellers grow their businesses. Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines shared, “We are committed to benefit online shoppers, by bringing them more joy, value, and excitement every 9.9. This drives us to use our platform to deliver the best value for money with our Mas Mura sa Shopee* offers, and to explore other equally fulfilling possibilities that serve the evolving needs of customers and businesses alike, especially as we gear towards another meaningful year-end shopping season.”

Shoppers secured daily essentials at better deals

Shopee worked with sellers to curate a wide assortment of ₱1 and ₱49 deals, helping users get their money’s worth when they shopped their everyday essentials in Home & Living, Health & Personal Care, and Women's Apparel during 9.9. Filipinos were keen to maximize the available deals in acquiring their daily necessities, with one shopper saving as much as ₱200,000 for essential back-to-school items like a new laptop, laptop accessories, and desk accessories. 

Businesses achieved more traffic and a big boost to their sales

Local sellers took advantage of 9.9 to grow their businesses, with one top local merchant from Valenzuela City selling over 400,000 packs of face masks on 9 September alone. Another fashion accessories seller used Shopee Live to engage with their followers, gaining 80,000 views during their 9.9 livestream. Meanwhile, leading brands Uni-Care, Unilever Beauty, and Maybelline also saw a boost in orders as shoppers looked to Shopee for their go-to branded parenting essentials, personal care products, and beauty must-haves.

Shopee’s in-app features brought more value and entertainment to all users

Shoppers were treated to plentiful days of fun from August 26, leading up to a star-studded TV special on September 9. Countless users tuned in to Shopee livestreams 87 million times and engaged with in-app games for over 16 million total plays throughout the 9.9 period. 

ShopeePay brought users more convenience and rewards

Filipinos continued to enjoy seamless, value-for-money payments as they took advantage of ShopeePay's ₱1 Load & Data promos, with purchases tripling on 9.9 compared to a regular day.
