The iconic pop-rock band is set to stage two special performances on July 26, 2026, bringing a taste of home to the Filipino community in HK
Manila, Philippines – The Itchyworms are set to bring their highly successful “Akin Ka Na Lang” tour to Hong Kong on July 26, 2026, at The Wanch in Wan Chai.
The one-night-only show promises to deliver an exciting live music experience for our kababayans seeking a semblance of home through the Filipino band’s brand of timeless OPM hits.
The chart-topping act behind the hits “Beer,” “Love Team,” and “Di Na Muli” will stage two performances at the same venue—4:00 PM matinee and an 8:00 PM evening show—giving overseas Filipinos considerable flexibility to attend, especially those with work schedules and curfews.
“Hong Kong has always been part of the Filipino story,” shares Jugs Jugueta. “The fact that it’s so near, yet only a few OPM bands have played there baffles me. The last time I was in Hong Kong was in 2019, so I’m so excited to come back and eat goose with my bandmates.”
The special concert represents an opportunity to reconnect with the thousands of Filipinos who have carried Filipino music with them while building lives abroad.
“It’s very humbling that we are able to tour the world, and anywhere we go, there will be Filipinos there,” Jugs reveals. “It is also humbling that multiple generations love The Itchyworms’ songs and continue to sing them everywhere.”
While the band is entering unfamiliar territory with their first-ever Hong Kong performance, they are embracing the experience with the same spontaneity and enthusiasm that have been prevalent in their previous live shows.
Jazz Nicolas explains, “We don’t know what kind of atmosphere to expect. We really just roll with the punches and give them everything we’ve got.”
Jugs adds that the Hong Kong stop will be made even more special—thanks to the collaborations with Filipino musicians based in the city, including Jesper Mercado and Rendel Frendol, who are expected to join the band on stage.
In an economy where everything seems more expensive than it used to be, people aren’t avoiding credit anymore. They’re finding ways on how to make it work harder for them.
This shift fueled the rise of Moneymaxxing, a growing mindset focused on getting more value from the money you’re already spending—whether that’s through rewards, cashback, flexibility, or simply using the right financial tools for the right purchases.
Credit cards, when used strategically, can play an important role in that equation.
As the country’s #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform, Maya makes it easier for users to put that mindset into practice through rewards, cashback, flexible payment options, and tools that help them get more value from their everyday spending.
Put planned spending on your card
One of the easiest ways to moneymaxx your credit card is surprisingly simple: use it for spending that was already going to happen. Think groceries, dining, travel bookings, subscriptions, fuel, and recurring bills.
The goal is to be more intentional about the spending that’s already part of your life. Because the more your credit card aligns with your actual spending habits, the easier it becomes to earn rewards, enjoy cashback, and get more value from purchases you were already planning to make.
Treat your credit limit as a tool
A credit limit isn’t extra income, it’s a financial tool.
A good rule of thumb is to treat your credit card as a payment tool, not a spending target. Keeping your spending manageable makes it easier to stay on top of payments, avoid unnecessary stress, and maintain healthy credit habits over time.
Because moneymaxxing isn’t about seeing how much credit you can access. It’s about using it strategically.
Choose rewards you’ll actually use
The best rewards are the ones you’ll actually use.
With the Maya Black Credit Card, cardholders earn instant Maya Miles for every purchase, including up to 10x Maya Miles at Maya Black Preferred merchants. These Maya Miles can then be used for shopping, dining, and more, turning regular spending into perks and experiences that actually feel worth it.
There are also benefits beyond points. Complimentary quarterly airport lounge access at select local and international airports means cardholders can enjoy a more comfortable travel experience before takeoff.
For those who prefer cashback, the Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card helps everyday spending work a little harder too, with 5% cashback at Landers, 2% on dining, and 1% on most purchases.
And if you’re regularly on the road, using your Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card at Landers-Caltex stations guarantees a minimum discount of up to ₱7.00 per liter on fuel, helping make every fuel stop a little easier on the wallet.
Because whether it’s miles, cashback, travel perks, or fuel savings, moneymaxxing isn’t always about spending less, it’s about getting more value from the spending that’s already happening.
Use flexibility when it makes sense
One thing people don’t talk about enough when it comes to credit cards? Timing. Sometimes financial stress isn’t caused by overspending. Sometimes it’s simply because several expenses decide to show up at the same time: a trip gets booked, a bill comes in, something at home needs replacing. Life has a funny way of clustering expenses together.
That’s why flexibility has quietly become one of the most underrated financial tools.
With Maya’s Mini Payments feature, cardholders can split eligible posted purchases into 3, 6, 9, or 12 monthly payments, all with a fixed add on rate of 1% interest per month , making it easier to spread out larger expenses when it makes sense for your budget.
Pay on time, your future self will thank you
Moneymaxxing isn’t just about rewards, cashback, or perks. Some of the biggest benefits happen behind the scenes.
Paying your credit card bill on time helps you avoid unnecessary charges and supports healthy credit habits over time.
And since everything lives within the Maya app, it’s easier to keep track of spending, rewards, payments, and credit all in one place.
At its core, moneymaxxing your credit card isn’t about spending more money. It’s about getting more value from the spending that’s already happening, whether that’s through rewards, cashback, flexibility, or simply building better financial habits along the way.

Donny Pangilinan with Sun Life Philippines Chief Client Experience and Marketing Officer Carla Gonzalez-Chong
MANILA, PH (July 2026) – When it comes to learning about personal finance, perhaps Donny Pangilinan is not the first person you think of. As an actor, producer, and business owner, he doesn’t talk about spreadsheets or deliver lectures on financial concepts. However, he’s championing a refreshingly human approach to the money conversation—one that puts life, purpose, and peace of mind at the center.
As the face of Sun Life Philippines’ ongoing Live Bright Now campaign, Donny is proving that you don’t have to choose between enjoying your best life today and building security for tomorrow. His message is simple yet powerful: it’s about intention, not sacrifice.
A Real Journey, Not a Perfect One
Donny’s story resonates because of his candidness about his financial journey. He openly shares that stepping outside his comfort zone—whether in his career, personal growth, or finances—wasn’t easy. But it taught him something crucial: confidence comes from action, not perfection.
“I wish I had started earlier,” he admits, reflecting on conversations with mentors about investments and insurance.
That vulnerability is the point. It’s a reminder that living bright now is not about reckless spending or putting life on hold. It’s about building the confidence that lets you enjoy the moment while securing your future. Donny is keen to share the lessons he’s learned the hard way, and invites Filipinos to learn alongside him.
Start With Your “Why”
Before any financial plan can take root, you need clarity on purpose. “There isn’t one ‘right track,'” Donny says. “Everyone has different tracks and timelines. What matters is knowing what you’re working towards and taking steps that align with what matters most to you.
The first step is simple: write down what success looks like to you in the next five years. Whether it’s traveling to a dream destination, purchasing a home, or starting a business. Your definition matters because it becomes the compass that guides every financial decision you make. Make it more concrete by attaching a target amount to each goal, so you have clarity on what you’re working towards.
Build Confidence Through Action
“Confidence is important because if you have confidence, you’re able to take calculated risks,” Donny explains. “You have more of the ability to decide on things that could create opportunities for you.”
To build confidence when it comes to your finances, Donny suggests starting with an amount you are comfortable setting aside,then build the habit of saving consistently over time. Small, regular steps can help build both confidence and long-term financial resilience, especially as you begin to explore more sophisticated financial solutions, like investment funds and insurance plans.
“It also took me a while to step out of my comfort zone, but with intentional effort, I eventually learned to make thoughtful, calculated financial decisions,” Donny says.
Create A System That Work for Your Life
Having a financial system would also help. Donny created his own by setting a monthly budget, automatically allocating part of his income to savings and investments, building an emergency fund, and reviewing his financial goals regularly. Having these habits in place makes managing money less stressful because he knows where every peso goes. It also helps him stay focused on long-term priorities instead of giving in to impulse buys.
Having a clear financial structure leads to intentional decisions and enables him to enjoy life more. As Donny reminds us, “We shouldn’t make money the center of everything. That’s not the end goal. Instead, we should use it as a tool to build the life we want to live.”
Break the Silence Around Money
As with any pursuit in life, you are likely to encounter obstacles in the journey to your financial goals. The key is to level up your financial literacy and seek expert guidance to make informed decisions.
“Most of all, don’t compare yourselves with others,” Donny advises. “Everyone has their own journey. It’s important to know that you’re not behind. You’re exactly where you need to be to make your next move.”
Instead of comparing, connect. Talk to mentors, trusted friends, and professionals who can guide you. A conversation with a Sun Life financial advisor can be a valuable first step, helping you explore your goals, understand your options, and create a plan that’s tailored to your needs and priorities.
Live Bright Now Starting Today
As rising living costs continue to strain household budgets and many Filipinos are finding it increasingly difficult to balance present-day needs with long-term financial goals1, it’s easy to feel caught between living for today and preparing for tomorrow. Yet, it’s possible to make room for both.
Plan the experiences that matter to you but also put systems in place that support your future, from savings to investments to insurance, leveling up as you build financial confidence.
Start small and start today. Your brighter tomorrow won’t happen all at once. It begins with the small decisions you make today, and the commitment to keep taking the next step.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is steadily becoming part of everyday smartphone experiences, helping users complete common tasks without constantly jumping between different applications. Whether it’s researching for a paper, brainstorming content ideas, editing photos before posting them online, squeezing in a few rounds of your favorite mobile game, or simply catching up on messages, AI is quietly removing extra steps from the process.
The OPPO A6s 5G, alongside its reliable hardware and long-lasting battery, brings together a collection of AI-powered tools designed to simplify everyday tasks with many of these features already built into the phone through ColorOS 16, making the entire experience more seamless.
Your Next Draft Starts with a Simple Prompt
For students juggling assignments or content creators planning their next post, getting started is often the hardest part. Instead of opening several browser tabs or relying on third-party apps, users can access an intelligent assistant directly from their OPPO A6s 5G.
The device comes with Google Gemini integrated into the experience, allowing users to brainstorm ideas, summarize information, draft messages, rewrite text, or generate content without switching to another device. A quick email draft while commuting, captions for social media, meeting notes, or travel planning can all begin from one place, saving both time and effort.
Perfect Your Photos the Smart Way
Editing photos has become part of everyday smartphone use. A picture might look great except for someone walking into the frame, poor lighting, or a slightly blurry subject. The OPPO A6s 5G includes several AI Camera features that work directly within the gallery, no other apps needed.
With AI Eraser 2.0, unwanted photobombers, distracting objects, or background clutter can be removed in just a few taps, while AI Unblur sharpens images affected by motion or camera shake to rescue memorable moments that might otherwise be discarded. AI Clarity Enhancer restores detail to older photos, zoomed-in shots, and distant subjects for a cleaner, more refined look, and AI Perfect Shot intelligently improves group photos by analyzing other images stored on the device to correct facial expressions or lighting, helping users capture everyone’s best look without having to retake the shot.
Bring Your Ideas to Life in Just a Few Taps
Capturing a good photo is only half the process. Presenting it well matters just as much. The OPPO A6s 5G includes AI Studio and AI Recompose to help users improve their content without requiring advanced photography skills.
AI Recompose analyzes each photo and suggests better framing based on classic photography composition, making landscapes, portraits, and travel photos look more balanced with minimal effort. It’s a helpful tool for anyone who wants cleaner social media posts but isn’t familiar with manual cropping techniques. AI Studio, meanwhile, opens more creative possibilities by allowing users to transform their photos into fresh styles directly from the phone. Users can experiment with creative edits inside the built-in ecosystem, keeping the entire workflow simple and convenient.
Smart AI Meets #OPPOLangSakalam Performance in the OPPO A6s 5G
As AI becomes a bigger part of everyday smartphone use, the OPPO A6s 5G lives up to #OPPOLangSakalam by combining built-in AI tools, 60-Month Fluency for a reliable all-around performance, and a 7000mAh long-lasting battery to help users tackle everything from school work and content creation to photo editing and entertainment.
Let the OPPO A6s 5G show how everyday tasks are simpler, faster, and easier to accomplish from one device. For more information, visit OPPO Philippines’ official website at www.oppo.com.ph/ or OPPO Philippines’ official social media pages on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok.
Shakira isn’t just the undisputed queen of summer with “Dai Dai.” The Colombian superstar also remains the most-streamed Latin artist in the world today, thanks to her latest track alongside African icon Burna Boy. The single is the most-streamed song on Spotify globally and tops the Billboard Global Chart for the week of June 30, a milestone that further cements Shakira’s standing as one of the most influential voices in global music.
Released on May 14, “Dai Dai” is the official anthem of the FIFA World Cup 2026™, supporting the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. The track is a powerful fusion of Latin and pop rhythms with the magnetism of Nigerian afrobeat.
The song speaks to perseverance, celebrates the world’s most beloved sport, and honors the unity that passion inspires, while paying tribute to some of the greatest figures in the jogo bonito, including Pelé, Diego Armando Maradona, Paolo Maldini, Romário, Cristiano Ronaldo, El Pibe Valderrama, Andrés Iniesta, David Beckham, Kaká, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, and Mohamed Salah.
Even before reaching #1 on Spotify’s Top Global Songs chart, “Dai Dai” had already made history. Its official music video [watch here] has surpassed 296 million views, while the song itself has topped 500 million global streams on digital platforms.
Shakira also recently surpassed 99 million monthly Spotify listeners, setting a new record for any Latin female artist in the platform’s history. “Dai Dai” currently sits on the charts in more than 56 countries.
Shakira is currently on the second U.S. leg of her hit tour, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, performing in a special World Cup edition. The U.S. run kicked off shortly after her highly anticipated return to Brazil, where she headlined a historic free concert on Copacabana Beach that drew more than 2 million fans.
Before heading to Spain for the European residency of Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran, Shakira will co-headline the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Halftime Show on Sunday, July 19, alongside Madonna and BTS.
For the first time in FIFA World Cup™ history, the final will feature a halftime show bringing together world-class artists for a singular moment at the intersection of sport, culture, and purpose — in support of the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
In Spain, Shakira will make history by introducing, on a major scale, a new model of international residency. The tour will take place at Shakira Stadium, a venue designed by Bjarke Ingels Group and located within Iberdrola Music, with a capacity for more than 50,000 fans per night. The venue will offer full visibility from every angle, state-of-the-art acoustics, and enhanced fan experiences.
Since its launch in February 2025, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has broken records worldwide, becoming, in the same year, the highest-grossing tour across all genres. In January 2026, it also earned the Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing tour in history for a Spanish-language artist, further cementing Shakira’s place as one of the most influential live performers of her generation.
