Happening on September 19 from 5:00 to 6:00 PM on the official @gcashofficial TikTok, the show encourages users to give back while being entertained.

Viewers are also encouraged to pitch in, no matter the amount—because every peso counts in GBayanihan.

  • Health: UNICEF, Save the Children Philippines, Let’s Save the Brain Foundation
  • Shelter: Cribs Foundation Inc., Virlanie Foundation
  • Community Development: CFC ANCOP, ABS-CBN Foundation, World Vision

The platform also enables real-time giving during emergencies, ensuring Filipinos can act quickly when urgent needs arise.

As GCash puts it, giving back has never been easier—whether it’s funding classrooms, supporting healthcare, or providing shelter, it’s all possible in just a few taps.

How to Use GBayanihan

Here’s how you can start donating through your GCash app:
  1. On the dashboard, tap View All
  2. Under Pay, look for and tap GBayanihan
  3. Choose your preferred organization
  4. Enter the amount and tap Confirm

Instant confirmation means you’ll see your donation go through right away—and you can repeat the process anytime to support multiple causes.

With Game to Give, GCash is showing that giving back doesn’t have to be complicated—it can be fun, interactive, and accessible. By combining the popularity of livestream entertainment with the ease of digital donations, GBayanihan is making generosity part of everyday life.

From Court to Community: TopBreed Renews Partnership with UP Fighting Maroons


Sports and community often go hand in hand—and in the Philippines, few partnerships capture that spirit better than the one between TopBreed, a leading pet care brand under Universal Robina Corporation (URC), and the UP Men’s Basketball Team (UPMBT). Now on its eighth year, this collaboration goes beyond basketball, extending to the broader UP community and even to the furry friends that bring joy to campus life.

A Partnership Built on Shared Values

The UP Fighting Maroons are known for their commitment to honor, excellence, service, and resilience—values that TopBreed proudly identifies with. This long-standing relationship is more than sponsorship; it’s a shared belief in discipline, teamwork, and community spirit.

Vincent Go, Managing Director of URC Agro-Industrial Group, expressed pride in the renewed partnership: “With a new season ahead and momentum from last year’s strong finish, we proudly stand with them as they strive for excellence. We’re honored to continue walking this path with them, making history together, and inspiring the next generation.”

Excellence in Every Field—Sports and Pet Care

TopBreed’s pursuit of excellence isn’t limited to the court. Through years of research and development, the brand has elevated its pet care line to world-class standards, earning recognition with five consecutive World Branding Awards.

This commitment to quality mirrors the Fighting Maroons’ own grit and determination—proving that whether it’s nurturing athletes or caring for pets, the values of discipline and resilience always shine through.

Beyond Basketball: Caring for the UP Community

What makes this year’s partnership even more special is its expansion into community welfare. TopBreed is set to provide essential services for emotional support animals on campus, including:
  • Anti-rabies vaccinations
  • Deworming programs
  • Access to TopBreed’s pet care products, such as TopBreed Dog Meal, ShamPooch, and Top B+ Vitamins

This initiative highlights how the collaboration goes beyond basketball, supporting both the UP community and the animals that bring comfort to many students.

A Winning Team On and Off the Court

As pets continue to play a central role in Filipino families, TopBreed remains committed to providing the best care possible. At the same time, the UP Fighting Maroons inspire fans through their grit and heart—serving not only as athletes but also as role models for the youth.

Together, TopBreed and UPMBT prove that when sports, values, and community come together, the result is a partnership that truly uplifts.

This renewed collaboration is more than just a sponsorship—it’s a movement that celebrates resilience, care, and the Filipino spirit. With TopBreed and the UP Fighting Maroons standing side by side, the message is clear: greatness happens both on the court and in the community.

Whether you’re cheering for the Maroons or caring for your fur babies, remember that true excellence is built on consistency, care, and heart.

Smart Spending Tips for Filipinos Who Travel This Ber Season


When the Ber months roll in, you know what that means—holiday reunions, Christmas parties, and of course, much-anticipated trips both here and abroad. For Filipinos, December isn’t just the season of giving—it’s also the busiest travel month of the year. In fact, a Visa Green Shoots Radar Survey reveals that more Filipinos travel in December compared to the Asia-Pacific average.

But while the holiday rush is filled with excitement, it also comes with its share of stress—especially when it comes to managing money while traveling. The good news? Visa is sharing smart, practical tips to help Filipinos make the most of their holiday budget without compromising on the fun.

Credit Cards: Your Best Travel Buddy

Nearly half (49%) of Filipino travelers prefer using credit cards when abroad, and for good reason. With Visa, not only do you get wide acceptance in shops, hotels, and airports, but you also enjoy added security, rewards, and promos.

Instead of carrying thick wads of cash, use your card for major expenses like flights, accommodations, or shopping. It saves time, minimizes risk, and even gives you perks like purchase protection and flexible payment options. Think of it as your reliable travel companion—keeping your money safe while stretching your budget further.

No Loose Change? Just Scan and Go

Gone are the days of fumbling for coins in crowded markets. More than 59% of Filipinos now know they can use QR code payments abroad with Visa-enabled e-wallets and banking apps. Whether you’re sipping coffee in Seoul, buying anime collectibles in Tokyo, or picking up pasalubong in Hong Kong, a quick scan lets you pay securely and conveniently.

Globally, QR payments are becoming the norm—so if you want a smooth and modern travel experience, going cashless is the way to go.

Plan Your Budget, Track Every Peso

The survey also highlighted where Filipinos love to travel: Japan (37%), Singapore (20%), South Korea (19%), and Hong Kong (19%) top the list. Each destination has its own spending style—from shopping districts in Tokyo to skincare splurges in Seoul.

To avoid overspending, it helps to set a budget per destination. Use your Visa card for essentials like transport passes, meals, and hotel stays, then review your spending records through your bank app. This way, you’ll always know how much you’ve spent—and how much you still have left for spontaneous finds.

Focus on Moments, Not Money Worries

More than sightseeing, the Ber months are about connections—43% of Filipinos travel overseas to visit loved ones, while others do it for relaxation (29%) or theme park adventures (28%, the highest in Asia-Pacific!).

With Visa’s secure payment solutions, you can stop worrying about cash logistics and focus on what really matters: the joy of reunions, the thrill of adventures, and the memories you’ll bring home.

As Visa Philippines Country Manager Jeffrey Navarro puts it, Filipinos are becoming more intentional about travel—not just where they go, but also how they pay. With Visa’s support, you can travel with confidence, knowing every transaction is secure and seamless.

The Ber months remind us that travel is more than a transaction—it’s about experiences, connections, and celebrations. By swiping smart, scanning with ease, and tracking your spending, you can make your holidays both enjoyable and worry-free.

Before your next trip, set your travel budget, activate your card for overseas use, and explore QR options. That way, you can focus less on money and more on making memories.
