From Setback to Second Chance: Cebuana Lhuillier Authorized Agent Turns Adversity into Opportunity

 

Naprey Almario (right), one of Cebuana Lhuillier’s top-performing Authorized Agents in Mindanao, turned a pandemic setback into a thriving business, bringing financial services closer to his community. 

Across the Philippines, more than 30,000 Cebuana Lhuillier Authorized Agents are strengthening local communities by transforming neighborhood businesses into trusted financial hubs that provide convenient access to essential financial services. Through remittances, bills payment, bank transfers, insurance, e-load, and other financial services, these community-based businesses are meeting everyday financial needs while unlocking new revenue streams. 

"Our Authorized Agents show how entrepreneurship can make a real difference in people's lives," said Jean Henri Lhuillier, President and CEO of Cebuana Lhuillier. "When local businesses grow, they create opportunities for their communities and help bring essential financial services closer to more Filipinos." 

One of the many Filipinos whose livelihood was transformed is Naprey Almario, a teacher, business owner, and advocate for persons with disabilities (PWDs) from Davao City. When the pandemic forced his travel agency to suspend operations, he suddenly lost his primary source of livelihood and began searching for a new way to support his family.  

"During the pandemic, travel was restricted, so my main source of income completely stopped," Naprey recalled. "I had to pivot and find ways to survive. That's when I decided to become a Cebuana Lhuillier Authorized Agent." 

Instead of simply recovering financially, Naprey built his business around what his community needed most. 

"I noticed there was only one bill payment center in our area," he said. "When you start a business, you should first look at what your community needs. That's the service you should provide." 

Starting with bills payment, Naprey steadily expanded his offerings as Cebuana Lhuillier entrusted him with more products and services. Today, his outlet provides domestic and international remittances, insurance, e-load, and other everyday financial solutions, making it a trusted one-stop financial hub for the community. 

As his business continued to grow, he was recognized as one of the top PeraLink Retail Agents in Mindanao in terms of sales and transactions. His inspiring journey also made him a finalist in Cebuana Lhuillier's Happiest Pinoy 2025, the company's flagship search that honors Filipinos whose stories exemplify resilience, purpose, and compassion.  

For Naprey, the partnership meant more than business growth. "When I applied for Happiest Pinoy, I shared how becoming a Cebuana Lhuillier Authorized Agent saved me during the pandemic," he said. "While travel was on hold, it became my source of income. It literally saved me. It wasn't just about the financial aspect. Even my mental health improved. From being stuck at home with nothing to do, I had something to focus on again. It helped me move forward." 

For Philippe Andre Lhuillier, Senior Executive Vice President of Cebuana Lhuillier, Naprey's story highlights the strength of the company's Authorized Agent network. "We are committed to helping our partners grow by continuously expanding our ecosystem of financial services and providing reliable support. Their success reflects the strength of a partnership built for long-term growth."  

Today, Naprey continues to grow Almario Ticketing Office and Laundry Shop while also balancing his roles as a teacher, entrepreneur, and an advocate. Through his journey, he hopes to inspire fellow entrepreneurs to build businesses around the needs of their communities, showing that even a modest investment can create sustainable opportunities while making essential financial services more accessible to all. 



Is AI Making Employees More Productive but Less Mentally Healthy? PVP Raises Workplace Concerns

 

As artificial intelligence reshapes the workplace, a critical question emerges: Is greater productivity coming at the expense of employee well-being? Premier Value Provider, Inc. (PVP), a Philippine-based workforce performance solutions company, explored the mental health risks and benefits of AI during its recent webinar, “Smarter Work, Healthier Minds? The Mental Health Impact of AI,” highlighting why responsible technology adoption, supportive leadership, and human connection remain essential to healthier workplaces.

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform how people work, organizations are embracing its ability to streamline tasks, accelerate decision-making, and improve productivity. But amid the growing enthusiasm for AI, one important question remains: Are workplaces becoming more efficient at the expense of employee well-being?

This question was at the center of Premier Value Provider, Inc. (PVP)'s recently concluded mental health webinar, “Smarter Work, Healthier Minds? The Mental Health Impact of AI,” held on October 28, 2026.

The session is facilitated by Jose Mari A. Hulleza, MA, RPm, RPsy, a Registered Psychometrician and Registered Psychologist, who explored the opportunities and potential psychosocial risks associated with AI adoption, highlighting why technology must support- not replace- human care, critical thinking, and meaningful workplace relationships.

The Hidden Mental Health Risks of AI in the Workplace

While AI offers opportunities to reduce repetitive tasks and simplify increasingly complex workloads, the webinar highlighted how excessive dependence on technology may create new challenges for employee mental health.

Among the concerns discussed were reduced opportunities for independent problem-solving, declining confidence in one's abilities, and fewer meaningful interpersonal interactions.

Hulleza explained how constantly turning to AI for answers, ideas, and decisions could gradually limit opportunities for employees to exercise their own judgment and critical thinking skills.

The discussion also explored the growing use of conversational AI for emotional support, emphasizing that while these tools may provide accessible information and interaction, they cannot replace genuine empathy, personal relationships, or professional mental health care.

Can AI Really Reduce Employee Burnout?

One of the webinar's most thought-provoking discussions centered on the relationship between AI, workload, and employee burnout.

Although AI can automate repetitive tasks and reduce administrative burdens, Hulleza emphasized that improving efficiency does not automatically address the organizational conditions contributing to employee stress.

Unrealistic deadlines, excessive performance expectations, unclear priorities, and unhealthy workplace systems may continue to affect employees even after AI tools are introduced.

The discussion challenged organizations to look beyond technological solutions and examine whether their policies, leadership practices, and work environments genuinely support employee well-being.

Putting People at the Center of AI Adoption

Beyond identifying risks, the webinar highlighted how organizations can use AI more responsibly to support healthier workplaces.

These approaches include developing clear workplace AI policies, protecting data privacy, providing continuous employee education, encouraging independent judgment, and evaluating how AI implementation affects workload and psychological safety.

The discussion also emphasized the value of establishing a baseline understanding of employees' mental health before introducing workplace changes or increasing performance expectations.

 

As highlighted in the webinar presentation:

“AI and technology can enhance productivity, but protecting mental well-being remains a human responsibility.”

For PVP, the discussion reinforces the importance of evidence-informed workplace strategies that consider both organizational performance and the people behind it.

As The Philippines' Data-Driven Workforce Performance Partner, PVP continues to promote conversations and solutions that help organizations better understand workforce experiences, strengthen leadership, and create healthier, more sustainable workplaces.

Casino Plus makes history with Evolution's first-ever offline collaboration in the Philippines

Casino Plus, one of the country’s leading responsible digital entertainment platforms licensed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), has made history as the first operator to stage an offline collaboration with Evolution in the Philippines, taking a partnership built online over nearly five years into a live setting for the first time.

Casino Plus hosted the historic, invitation-only event on October 30 at Dusit Thani, Makati City, Philippines, where Casino Plus players received an exclusive preview of Game Night, Evolution's newest live casino game show, ahead of its commercial release. The evening also included an awarding ceremony led by Cristina Hsia, Evolution's Country Manager for the Philippines, alongside the Casino Plus CEO. 

“This is a historic first for Casino Plus and for the Philippine market,” said Casino Plus CEO Evan Spytma.“Evolution's decision to bring its first-ever offline collaboration in the country to Casino Plus reflects years of consistent work under PAGCOR's regulatory framework. For our players, it is assurance that the platform they use every day is held to the standards of one of the most established names in live casino. For the industry, it shows what a regulated Philippine operator and a global supplier can build together.”

Why Casino Plus was first

Casino Plus began its partnership with Evolution in 2022 with slot games and expanded its online casino offerings to include Evolution's live casino portfolio in May 2023. Evolution, listed on Nasdaq Stockholm and active in regulated markets worldwide, conducts due diligence before entering customer relationships and continues to evaluate partners over time.

Gionata La Torre, Evolution CEO Asia, described Casino Plus as the company's “trusted partner in the regulated Philippine market” and “the natural choice” for its first offline engagement in the country.

“We value their reliability, how they run their platform, and their commitment to responsible gaming and the player experience,” La Torre said. “Our decision to work with Casino Plus on this milestone reflects the trust we have built in the relationship and the standards we have seen through our years of working together.”

Spytma said the partnership was earned through conduct rather than claims. “Trust is not something we announce. It is something partners like Evolution see in how we operate every day, under PAGCOR's rules,” he said. “Integrity is the foundation of everything we build, and this collaboration is what that looks like from the outside.”

A regulated operator with international reach

The collaboration adds an international proof point to the compliance record Casino Plus has built under PAGCOR, including Know Your Customer verification, anti-money laundering controls and a ₱1-billion PhilFirst Surety Bond Protection Program for qualified player funds launched in December 2025.

It also places Casino Plus at the centre of Evolution's growing Philippine presence. The supplier opened its first live casino studio in Asia, in Cebu, in 2025, and La Torre said the country is “a key part of our growth in Asia.”

Casino Plus and Evolution described the event as the beginning of a longer-term partnership, with plans to continue developing new gaming experiences for Filipino players. “Our biggest goal is to keep building our relationship over time and create experiences that matter to Filipino players,” La Torre said.

“A historic first only matters if it leads somewhere. Game Night is the first chapter, not the last,” Spytma said. “This is a milestone for the regulated Philippine market as much as for Casino Plus. It shows global suppliers that licensed local operators are ready to build world-class experiences with them.”

What it means for Casino Plus players

Casino Plus players were the first in the country to see Game Night, which adapts the format of a classic games night into a live casino game show. It is built around a 54-segment money wheel, with multipliers on every spin and five bonus games: Connect 4, Battleship, Hungry Hungry Hippos, Snakes and Ladders, and Rock Paper Scissors.

Evolution said it plans, where possible, to offer Casino Plus players early access to selected new Evolution games, alongside continued joint online and offline campaigns in the Philippines.

“Our mission is to bring fun to people, and to do it responsibly,” Spytma said. “Taking Evolution's games off the screen and into the room for our players is that mission at its best. They deserve experiences built to global standards, and that is what we intend to keep delivering.”

“For Evolution, partnering with Casino Plus means taking a relationship we have built over several years and bringing it to life in a new way for Filipino players,” La Torre said. “We share a focus on quality, innovation, responsible gaming and the player experience.”

Casino Plus began its partnership with Evolution in November 2021 with slot games and expanded its online casino offerings to include Evolution's live casino portfolio in May 2023.

RESPONSIBLE GAMING ADVISORY

In accordance with PAGCOR’s Responsible Gaming Code of Practice, Casino Plus wishes to remind all players of the following:

Gaming is for entertainment purposes only. It should not be considered a source of income or a means of financial relief. Players are encouraged to play responsibly and within their means.

Winning is never guaranteed. All gaming outcomes are determined by chance. Past results, including jackpot wins, do not influence or predict future outcomes.

Gaming is for persons 21 years old and above only. Gambling can be addictive. Know when to stop. For assistance, email ResponsibleGaming@pagcor.ph.

Guided by the principles of responsible gaming and player protection, the company is committed to a fair and engaging experience backed by verified payouts.

What Happens When You Experience Singapore Beyond the Usual Itinerary

 


 Singapore's iconic skyline and famous attractions are worth experiencing. But for travelers who prefer to follow their curiosity, some of the most memorable discoveries happen when they venture beyond the usual sightseeing checklist.

Think creative spaces that reward a closer look, heritage destinations that reveal the stories behind a neighborhood, and unexpected stops that turn a regular day out into something worth remembering. For independent travelers, Singapore isn't just a destination to see — it's a city to explore on their own terms.

Through their partnership, Philippine Airlines (PAL) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) invite Filipino travelers to discover more of Singapore, with experiences that go beyond the familiar and make room for personal interests, spontaneous detours, and unexpected favorites.

And with up to 20% OFF flights to Singapore with PAL, available for booking from October 26 to November 1, 2026, there's another reason to plan a getaway that follows your own curiosity.

Trade the Usual Checklist for Something Unexpected

One of the best ways to experience Singapore differently is to make room for places that offer more than a quick photo stop. Instead of moving from one landmark to the next, choose destinations that let you explore a particular interest, discover a new perspective, or simply spend time somewhere that catches your attention.

At New Bahru, an independent traveler can explore a creative lifestyle destination bringing together independent brands, retail concepts, and food experiences. It's a worthwhile addition for those who enjoy discovering places with a distinct creative character and unique local brands, rather than sticking to conventional shopping stops.

For a different kind of outing, WEAVE at Resorts World Sentosa brings together one-of-a-kind retail, dining, and destination experiences in a contemporary setting. It offers another reason to explore beyond the usual attraction itinerary, especially for travelers who enjoy pairing sightseeing with shopping and food discoveries.

These destinations aren't simply stops to tick off a list. They're opportunities to discover different sides of Singapore, guided by what interests you most.

Discover the Stories Behind the Streets

Going beyond the usual itinerary doesn't always mean finding somewhere new. Sometimes, it means looking more closely at a place you thought you already knew.

At the Chinatown Heritage Centre, travelers can explore the stories of Singapore's early residents and gain a deeper understanding of the lives that shaped the historic district. It adds context to a walk through Chinatown, turning a neighborhood visit into an opportunity to connect with the city's past.

Rather than simply photographing the area's familiar streets, take time to explore the heritage behind them. It's a reminder that the places we pass through often have stories worth discovering — if we make room to look.

Follow Your Curiosity into Unexpected Experiences

Independent travel is an opportunity to make every itinerary your own. In Singapore, familiar sightseeing can go hand in hand with playful, immersive, and unexpected discoveries that add a personal twist to your trip.

At IMBA at Gardens by the Bay, travelers can add an immersive art experience to a visit to one of Singapore's best-known destinations. For pop-culture enthusiasts, Pop Mart Cafe offers another themed stop to explore, adding a playful detour to a day spent discovering the city.

These experiences bring a different kind of variety to an itinerary. One stop might appeal to your interest in art or immersive environments, while another might be driven by a favorite character, a new concept, or simply the curiosity to try something different.

The point isn't to do everything. It's to leave enough room for the discoveries that make the trip feel personal.

Let the Experience Set the Pace

Adventure also goes beyond the attractions. Sometimes, changing your surroundings or taking a different route is enough to make the day feel new.

At Henderson Waves, Singapore's distinctive pedestrian bridge offers an opportunity to enjoy its sculptural architecture and surrounding greenery. It's a different way to experience the city — one that gives independent travelers a chance to slow down, take in their surroundings, and enjoy a break from the busier parts of the itinerary.

Build a Singapore Trip Around What You Love

The beauty of independent travel is that there's no single itinerary you have to follow. You can spend the day exploring creative spaces, move from heritage discoveries to a themed café, or balance active experiences with quieter moments in the city.

For some travelers, that might mean starting at New Bahru, discovering the stories behind Chinatown, and ending the day with a drink at Native Bar. For others, it could mean exploring WEAVE, trying an activity at Hyperdrive, or taking a detour to Pop Mart Cafe. Each route offers a different way to experience Singapore — and that's precisely the point.

Rather than trying to see everything, choose the experiences that speak to you, then leave room for something unexpected along the way.

Discover More of Singapore with PAL

Singapore offers more than a familiar list of landmarks. From creative destinations and heritage discoveries to immersive experiences and unexpected detours, the city gives independent travelers plenty of ways to make a trip their own.

Through their partnership, PAL and STB invite Filipinos to look beyond the usual itinerary and discover the experiences that make Singapore worth exploring in their own way.

With PAL, the experience begins with the journey. Its full-service offering, complemented by comfortable seats, inflight services, and signature Filipino hospitality, brings travelers closer to the discoveries waiting in Singapore. Specific amenities and services depend on the selected flight.

So go beyond the checklist. Follow your curiosity, take the detour, and discover a different side of Singapore with PAL.

Book your flights to Singapore with Philippine Airlines from October 26 to November 1, 2026, and get up to 20% OFF for travel from November 1, 2026 onwards.

From Cultural Discoveries to Family Adventures: Experience Singapore in Full

 

Singapore's character is shaped by the cultures, communities, and traditions that have come together across generations. From heritage districts and historic landmarks to neighborhood food and distinctive architecture, the city offers more than places to visit—it offers stories to discover.

For travelers looking to understand Singapore beyond its skyline, the experience begins with exploring the places that preserve its heritage, tasting the flavors that reflect its cultural influences, and seeing how tradition continues to shape the city today.

Through their partnership, Philippine Airlines (PAL) and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) invite Filipino travelers to discover these different layers of Singapore, with experiences that bring together cultural discovery, nature, food, and contemporary attractions.

With up to 20% OFF flights to Singapore with PAL, available for booking from October 26 to November 1, 2026, there's another reason to discover the destination from a different perspective.

1. Step Into the Stories Behind Singapore’s Neighborhoods

A walk through Chinatown offers more than colorful streets and traditional storefronts. At the Chinatown Heritage Centre, visitors can explore the stories of early residents and gain a closer understanding of the people, histories, and everyday lives that helped shape the neighborhood. Beyond the heritage centre, exploring Chinatown’s streets, shops, and food spots brings its history into the present.

Singapore’s cultural influences extend across its neighborhoods, where communities, traditions, and local businesses continue to shape everyday life. 

In Little India, colorful streets, traditional shops, and Indian food offer a vibrant introduction to Indian culture. Kampong Gelam brings together Malay heritage, historic landmarks, and a contemporary creative scene, while Katong–Joo Chiat is known for its distinctive shophouses and Peranakan heritage. 

Together, these neighborhoods reveal the many layers of Singapore’s cultural identity, offering travelers a richer understanding of the city beyond its landmarks.

2. Taste the Stories Behind Singapore's Food

Food offers another way to understand Singapore's cultural influences. The city's dining scene brings together flavors and traditions shaped by different communities, making a meal an opportunity to discover more about the destination.

At Song Fa Bak Kut Teh, travelers can enjoy a comforting local favorite, while Keng Eng Kee Seafood serves up shared dishes that bring people together over Singaporean flavors. For those looking to explore the city after dark, Native Bar offers creative cocktails inspired by local ingredients and Southeast Asian flavors, adding another dimension to Singapore’s vibrant food and drink scene.

These experiences are part of what makes neighborhood food stops worthwhile: they give travelers a chance to slow down, discover local flavors, and experience the city through something people naturally come together around.

Rather than treating dining as a break between attractions, make it part of the cultural itinerary. A meal can offer a different kind of insight into Singapore—one that begins with what is served at the table and extends to the stories behind the food.

3. Discover Nature, Dinosaurs, and Imagination

Singapore’s green spaces offer more than scenic views. At Cloud Forest in Gardens by the Bay, visitors can explore the Jurassic World: The Experience exhibition, where prehistoric creatures bring an exciting twist to the lush indoor landscape.

For another kind of immersive adventure, IMBA at Gardens by the Bay invites visitors to step into imaginative environments that spark curiosity and wonder. Together, these experiences offer a fresh perspective on Singapore, blending nature, creativity, and discovery in unexpected ways.

After exploring, Hortus offers a chance to recharge with a meal surrounded by greenery. Its garden setting makes it a fitting stop to slow down, enjoy the surroundings, and take a break between adventures.

For something different after dark, Hopscotch serves creative cocktails inspired by local icons and Singaporean stories, adding a playful, locally inspired touch to the city’s food and drink scene.

4. See How Heritage and Contemporary Life Come Together

One of Singapore's defining qualities is the way its heritage exists alongside contemporary culture. And for travelers, this means cultural discovery doesn't have to end after visiting a heritage site. It can continue through a neighborhood walk, a meal at a local restaurant, or a closer look at how a district has developed over time.

The most rewarding itineraries leave room for both: learning about the stories that shaped Singapore and experiencing the city as it is today.

Experience Singapore in Full with PAL

From exploring the stories behind Chinatown to discovering the distinct character of Singapore's cultural neighborhoods and tasting the food that brings people together, the destination offers many ways to look beyond the familiar.

Through their partnership, PAL and STB invite Filipino travelers to discover Singapore's cultural richness alongside its nature, dining, and contemporary experiences.

With PAL, the experience begins with the journey. Its full-service offering, complemented by comfortable seats, inflight services, and signature Filipino hospitality, helps bring travelers closer to the stories and experiences waiting in Singapore. Specific services and amenities depend on the selected flight.

Discover the heritage, flavors, and experiences that make Singapore distinctive—and experience more of the destination with PAL.

Book your flights to Singapore with Philippine Airlines from October 26 to November 1, 2026, and get up to 20% OFF for travel from November 1, 2026 onwards.

Keepital Plugged In at PSECE 2026


 The energy was unmistakable as industry leaders, innovators, and decision-makers gathered for the 21st Philippine Semiconductor & Electronics Convention and Exhibition (PSECE) 2026 at the SMX Convention Center Manila. Organized by SEIPI, the event once again served as a premier platform for discussions, technology showcases, and collaboration across the Philippine semiconductor and electronics sector.

As a proud media partner of the event, Keepital was honored to be part of another successful edition of PSECE. The exhibition floor brought together a remarkable mix of manufacturers, suppliers, technical experts, government representatives, and business leaders, creating an environment where meaningful conversations and industry partnerships could thrive. Throughout the show, the steady flow of visitors and the quality of engagements reinforced PSECE's reputation as one of the country's most important industry gatherings.

Beyond supporting the event, Keepital also engaged directly with attendees through its walkthrough video where they interviewed various exhibitors on the show floor as well as through its continued promotion of the KeepCard. Interest in the NFC-powered digital networking solution remained strong, particularly following the launch of its online purchasing feature. Many visitors took advantage of the special expo pricing available exclusively during the event, discovering a more convenient way to share professional information, company profiles, and contact details with a simple tap.

The strong reception to KeepCard highlighted a growing demand for modern networking tools within highly technical and relationship-driven industries. Conversations throughout the exhibition extended beyond individual purchases, opening discussions on how organizations can leverage digital business cards to streamline networking and enhance professional engagement across teams.

More importantly, PSECE 2026 demonstrated the value of bringing an industry together under one roof. The event created opportunities for knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and innovation at a time when the semiconductor and electronics sectors continue to play an increasingly important role in the Philippine economy and global supply chain. The quality of attendees, depth of discussions, and breadth of solutions on display made the exhibition a valuable experience for exhibitors and visitors alike.

As another successful chapter of PSECE comes to a close, Keepital extends its appreciation to SEIPI and the organizing team for delivering an outstanding event. The company remains proud to support initiatives that strengthen industries, foster connections, and drive innovation. With the continued growth of the convention and the industry it serves, Keepital looks forward to supporting future editions of PSECE and contributing to its success in the years ahead.
