Your Bonus Just Dropped—Here’s How To Make It Work Harder with Maya

Your 13th-month pay just landed and suddenly everything feels possible. The cart you’ve been “saving for later,” the holiday plans, the upgrades, the “I deserve this” moment. But before you go full haul mode, here’s a little reality check: your bonus is more than a treat. It’s a reset button, a jumpstart, and honestly, one of the best chances you’ll get all year to build a healthier relationship with your money.

So if you want to enter 2026 with your finances looking put together, here’s your guide — powered by Maya, the #1 Digital Bank and #1 Fintech Ecosystem in the Philippines.

1. Don’t spend blindly, give your money an assignment.

Your bonus isn’t a windfall, it’s a strategy. Before anything else, give every peso a purpose. Try this simple split:

• 50% for bills and responsibilities

• 30% for fun (yes, you can still treat yourself)

• 20% for savings or investments

When you do spend, make the swipe intentional. Pay for gifts, bills, groceries, and holiday outings with Maya, because this Christmas, Maya is giving you and your chosen referral a chance to be TWINYONARYOS—each winning ₱1 million! Using Maya Easy Credit? That’s 5x more entries. And here’s the ultimate power move: refer friends with your @username and earn 10x more entries per successful referral. 

2. Park money for “future you”

Here’s where most people slip: everything goes into one account and poof, the bonus magically disappears. If you want yours to actually work for you, start by giving it a real home.

Begin with Maya Savings, where your money grows with up to 15% p.a. interest, credited daily so you literally watch your balance climb. Even moving just a portion of your bonus here helps you hit the ground running for 2026.

Then build structure with Maya Personal Goals, your best friend for financial boundaries. You can create up to five different goal accounts, each earning 4% base interest, with your rate increasing every ₱20,000 you add (up to 8% p.a. for deposits up to ₱100,000). Think: one for emergencies, one for travel, one for home upgrades, one for big purchases, one for long-term plans. No lock-ins. No stress. Just organized money that grows faster.

And if you're the type who wants your bonus to grow steadily and predictably, this is where Time Deposit Plus comes in. You can lock in your money for 3, 6, or 12 months with guaranteed rates of up to 6% p.a. on deposits of up to ₱1 million per Time Deposit Plus account. And because you can open up to five accounts, that’s as much as ₱5 million in total interest-earning deposits.

The best part? Unlike traditional time deposits, you can keep adding funds anytime, even after hitting your target amount. It’s perfect if you want the discipline and stability of a time deposit, but with way more flexibility.

This is how you protect your bonus from slipping through the cracks and make your future self genuinely proud.

3. Build a buffer for life’s curveballs.

Rainy days don’t schedule appointments and nothing derails your finances like an unexpected bill or repair. Your bonus is the perfect chance to finally build that cushion.

Boost your emergency fund using Maya Savings or set up a dedicated Personal Goal just for emergencies. And if life throws something bigger than expected? Maya Easy Credit gives you instant access to funds with no paperwork, no collateral, so you don’t have to touch your hard-earned savings when things get tough.

With a lineup that includes favorites like Chicken Skin ni Mang Juan and Chicharron ni Mang Juan in classic Filipino flavors, Mang Juan is a truly Pinoy snack that can help fuel one’s grind.

And when it comes to hustling, who better to relate to than SB19? The P-pop kings know the grind all too well—with rehearsals, tours, and shoots that usually require peak energy and passion. “Nakakapagod ang training at rehearsals namin, pero worth it para sa mga A’TIN,” shares Stell. “That’s why it’s nice to have a snack like Mang Juan na talagang nakakagana sa sarap.”

So whether you're in study mode or gearing up for another long day, fuel your grind and grab a bite of Mang Juan for that “Huwow!” snacking experience.

Puregold Taps Into Experiential Retail with First Hakot Relay Run

Puregold recently transformed a fun Filipino activity into a large-scale community engagement platform with the launch of the Puregold Hakot Relay Run at Burnham Green Park in Luneta.

Held on November 22, the event prompted a strong turnout with participants numbering in the thousands, demonstrating the retailer’s continued focus on community-building initiatives that are aligned with its long-term brand and customer growth strategy.


Blending fitness, entertainment, and Puregold’s iconic “hakot” experience, the three-kilometer relay introduced an innovative twist to the traditional fun run format. Teams of three joined the race not for speed but for strategy, competing in a hakot segment wherein runners grabbed grocery items and filled their sling bags before tagging the next team member. The ensuing scenario was a vibrant and adrenaline-filled activity that brought families, barkadas, and communities together in a uniquely Puregold way.

Puregold also staged a Sunset Concert at the venue, where OPM and P-Pop performers such as KAIA, G22, Press Hit Play, and the duo BREKA (Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca) filled the park with live music and turned the relay into an afternoon celebration for families and fans alike.

All participating runners were winners as they took home a Puregold Hakot Relay Finisher’s Medal, an official race singlet, and a grocery sling bag, made exclusively for this inaugural event.

The Puregold Hakot Relay Run is reflective of the company’s broader goal to uplift Filipino communities and celebrate everyday wins.

Puregold President Vincent Co, who led the first wave of runners, said, “Wins come in many forms. This is a new one for us, as Puregold tries to create moments where families, friends, and communities can connect. This Hakot Relay Run gave us a chance to do exactly that.”

The tremendous success of Puregold’s first-of-its-kind relay affirms the potential of more creative, community-driven initiatives to strengthen brand affinity while deepening customer loyalty.

Life After Diagnosis: TGP and PCEDM Empower Filipinos to Live Better with Diabetes

So paano na nga kapag may diabetes ka na?
Magbabago ba ang buhay mo? Mahirap ba? These are the questions many Filipinos face upon learning they have diabetes—a chronic condition that, when unmanaged, can lead to serious health complications.

A Growing Health Concern Among Filipinos

According to the Department of Health (DOH), around 4.3 million Filipinos are currently living with diabetes, making it one of the top causes of death in the country.

Globally, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that diabetes causes approximately 1.5 million deaths each year, with the Western Pacific Region—where the Philippines belongs—seeing a steady rise in prevalence.

These “scary” numbers reflect a harsh reality: while diabetes is common, it doesn’t have to control one’s life. With proper education, timely consultation, and the right treatment, Filipinos can live long, full lives even after diagnosis.

Living Better, Not Just Longer

Diabetes experts from the Philippine College of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism (PCEDM) remind the public that diabetes management is possible through simple, consistent habits anchored on their long-standing IWAS: 4Dapat Diabetes Campaign advocacy:Ikonsulta sa doktor
Wastong pagkain
Aktibong pamumuhay
Sapat at angkop na gamot

These four steps emphasize the importance of early diagnosis, proper nutrition, physical activity, and adherence to doctor-prescribed medication—principles that can drastically improve quality of life after a diabetes diagnosis.

TGP and PCEDM: Partners in Advocacy

To make credible diabetes education more accessible to Filipinos, The Generics Pharmacy (TGP) has partnered with PCEDM through a formal Memorandum of Agreement signed by TGP Deputy General Manager Aileen Natividad and PCEDM President Dr. Lora May Tan-Tin Hay.

The partnership seeks to strengthen nationwide efforts in diabetes awareness, prevention, and management by combining TGP’s extensive retail and community network with PCEDM’s medical expertise.

“This partnership reinforces our mission to make healthcare more accessible and reliable for every Filipino. By working hand-in-hand with PCEDM’s advocacies and medical expertise, we aim to bridge the gap between awareness and action when it comes to diabetes prevention,” said Natividad.

“Through this collaboration, we want Filipinos to know that life after a diabetes diagnosis is still full of hope and possibilities—with the right care, education, and support,” shared Dr. Tan-Tin Hay.

Empowering Communities Nationwide

Under this collaboration, both organizations will roll out advocacy initiatives across digital, in-store, and on-ground platforms—including expert-led talks and community health engagements.

TGP will lead the implementation of advocacy content while augmenting the dissemination of PCEDM’s social media contents.
