Western Union Money Transfers Now Available at a Smart Padala Agent near you

Smart Padala by PayMaya, one of the leading financial service providers in the Philippines, and Western Union, a global leader in cross-border, cross-currency money movement and payments, have come together to offer Western Union money transfer services at select Smart Padala agents across the country. 

With this new service, picking up Western Union remittance is made more convenient and accessible.

The Western Union money transfer service is available across more than 800 Smart Padala agents nationwide, scaling up to more than 3,000 in the coming months. This is especially relevant today in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring customers have access to Western Union services closer to their homes.

Through its annual 917 Day celebration, Globe continues to reinvent ways to share compassion and care, and provide customers with #SariSaringRewardingExperiences.

Making everyday a GDay with Globe Rewards

How often do we say “Have a good day” and sincerely mean it beyond a perfunctory farewell blessing?

For Globe Rewards, “Have a Good Day!”  is more than a greeting. 

A good day - a GDay - is the theme of Globe’s 917 celebration this year and it’s about giving back to their loyal customers through exciting rewards and surprises, so they can feel empowered as individuals and be inspired to help uplift fellow Filipinos’ lives through care and compassion.

0917 is Globe’s iconic and original prefix, known by many as the badge of a Globe subscriber. What used to be celebrated on September 17th has grown to be more than a month-long series of 917 festivities to express gratitude and give back to Globe customers.

Sezairi dominates streaming charts in Asia with global hit “It’s You”

After going viral on TikTok and subsequently charting on Spotify Global Viral 50 Chart where it peaked at No. 17, Singapore-based singer-songwriter Sezairi is currently on the rise with the recent success of his single “It’s You.”

A rousing ballad that showcases the journey of putting one’s fears to rest when it comes to loving someone, “It’s You” is part of Sezairi’s recently released EP, Undertones. 

“I had a lot of things in mind when writing this song but I guess the underlying theme is love,” the chart-topping artist opens up about the inspiration behind the track. “It’s like going on this crazy journey just searching for ‘the one’ and then having a sudden realization, and disbelief even, that you already know who you were looking for and that they were always there and will always be there for you no matter what. It’s also a sort of ode, a thank you to that special someone in your life.”
