  • Filipinos squeezed as rising prices quietly drain savings

    Filipinos squeezed as rising prices quietly drain savings

    Your money is losing value faster than you think. Here’s how some Filipinos are fighting back

    Your grocery bill creeping up is not your imagination. The main takeaway is simple: inflation is now outpacing most savings, but some higher-yield options are starting to close that gap.

    The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has raised its 2026 average inflation forecast to 5.1%, driven by global pressures and elevated oil prices. Even with occasional fuel rollbacks, the ripple effect continues to push up the cost of food, transport, and basic services.

    That creates a quiet problem. If your savings are sitting in a low-interest account, they are effectively shrinking in real value. What PHP 10,000 can buy today may be noticeably less a year from now.

    This is where products like Salmon Bank Time Deposits are gaining attention. The bank offers interest rates ranging from 6% to 8% per annum, starting with as little as PHP 5,000. At the higher end, deposits of PHP 1 million and above can earn up to 8% p.a.

    Even after the 20% withholding tax on interest earnings, these rates can still keep pace with the BSP’s 5.1% inflation projection. In practical terms, that means your savings are less likely to lose purchasing power over time.

    Security is another concern as people look for safer ways to park their money. Deposits in Salmon Bank are insured by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) for up to PHP 1 million per depositor, and the bank operates under BSP regulation. The institution, formerly the Rural Bank of Sta. Rosa Laguna, has been around since 1963.

    Behind the bank is Salmon Group Ltd., backed by investors including the International Finance Corporation.

    As prices keep rising, the real question is no longer whether you are saving, but whether your savings can keep up.

  • Why fuel taxes aren’t going away even as prices hurt

    Why fuel taxes aren’t going away even as prices hurt

    Every time fuel prices go up, you feel it instantly at the pump, in delivery fees, and even in food prices. Now the government is making it clear that relief is not coming from scrapping the Value-Added Tax on petroleum products.

    President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said Monday the VAT on fuel will stay because it is quietly funding cash aid and subsidies that millions rely on.

    Here is the tradeoff. As global oil prices rise, the government collects more VAT from every liter of imported fuel. That creates what Marcos called a “windfall” in revenue. Remove the tax, and that extra money disappears overnight.

    The catch is who actually benefits. Scrapping VAT on petroleum products would mainly ease costs within the petroleum market, not necessarily deliver broad relief across the economy. Meanwhile, the government would lose a major funding source for programs that support sectors beyond transport.

    That matters because public pressure has been growing from groups asking why assistance often focuses on transport workers. Marcos pushed back, saying the goal is to support the “entire society,” not just one sector.

    In simple terms, the government is choosing between cheaper fuel today or sustained subsidies that help cover everything from daily expenses to broader economic recovery.

    Marcos said current calculations still favor keeping VAT in place, arguing the benefits of nationwide subsidies and cash assistance outweigh the impact of higher fuel taxes.

    Still, he left the door open. The administration is reviewing all options and could reconsider lowering VAT on certain products if the balance shifts.

    For now, though, every spike in global oil prices means more tax collected and more funds for aid, but also continued pressure on your daily expenses.

  • Canva’s double buy sparks AI design race

    Canva’s double buy sparks AI design race

    Canva announced the acquisition of MangoAI and Cavalry to strengthen its artificial intelligence capabilities and expand its professional creative software portfolio.

    The global visual communication platform said the deals support its long-term product roadmap by integrating advanced AI technology and professional design tools into its unified ecosystem.

    The purchases mark Canva’s fourth and fifth acquisitions in the past two years following the earlier additions of Affinity in 2024, Leonardo in 2024, and MagicBrief in 2025 as the company pushes to build a comprehensive suite of visual communication solutions.

    The company said adding Cavalry and MangoAI will accelerate the development of technology and expertise aimed at expanding creative possibilities for teams, creators, and designers.

    Canva reported that more than 265 million people now use the platform worldwide, including teams from more than 95 percent of Fortune 500 companies.

    Its artificial intelligence tools have been used over 24 billion times while the platform added more than 50 million new users in 2025 as visual communication becomes more central to workplace collaboration.

    The company also said it closed 2025 with more than $4 billion in annualized revenue, representing a 36 percent increase from the previous year, alongside more than 31 million paid seats and its ninth consecutive year of positive free cash flow.

    Canva co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Cliff Obrecht said the company continues to focus on making creative tools widely accessible while expanding options for professional designers.

    He said Affinity has already surpassed five million downloads within months of its launch, signaling strong demand for professional-grade design tools within the Canva ecosystem.

    Obrecht said the addition of Cavalry will help integrate motion design with vector and layout capabilities to give designers a more complete creative environment.

    Cavalry, a United Kingdom-based 2D animation platform widely used by motion designers, will enhance Canva’s professional creative suite.

    The platform was designed by animators to streamline the production of motion graphics and animation through faster and more flexible workflows.

    Canva said the technology will complement Affinity’s photo, vector, and layout editing tools to create a fully interoperable design ecosystem for creative professionals.

    Cavalry co-founder Chris Hardcastle said the partnership creates an opportunity to expand motion design capabilities while making animation tools more accessible to a wider community of creators.

    The animation platform is already used by companies including Amazon, Meta, Google, and Netflix for professional creative production.

    Cavalry founders Chris Hardcastle, Ian Waters, and Adam Jenns will join Canva as part of the acquisition to help guide the development of the company’s professional design offerings.

    The deal represents Canva’s seventh acquisition of a Europe-based company following earlier purchases of Affinity in 2024, Flourish in 2022, Kaleido in 2021, Smartmockups in 2021, Pexels in 2019, and Pixabay in 2019.

    Separately, Canva also acquired MangoAI, a United States startup focused on artificial intelligence systems designed to optimize video advertising performance.

    The company said MangoAI’s technology will help strengthen its AI-driven marketing and creative tools as demand grows for automated and data-informed content production.

    MangoAI developed proprietary algorithms and reinforcement learning systems that analyze advertising platform signals to automatically refine video content for stronger performance.

    Canva said the technology can improve advertising results while reducing the time and costs associated with testing and optimizing marketing content.

    The acquisition builds on the AI-driven marketing capabilities introduced through the earlier purchase of MagicBrief and will enhance CanvaGrow, the company’s marketing intelligence platform.

    MangoAI co-founder Nirmal Govind will join Canva as its first Chief Algorithms Officer, a newly created position that reflects the company’s growing investment in artificial intelligence research and product development.

    Govind previously served as Vice President of Data Science and Engineering at Netflix and brings more than two decades of experience developing large-scale machine learning and AI systems.

    He will lead personalization and algorithm development across Canva while working closely with the company’s AI Lab on future visual AI technologies.

    MangoAI co-founder Vinith Misra, a former machine learning scientist and leader at Roblox and Netflix, will also join Canva as reinforcement learning lead within the company’s research laboratory.

  • TransUnion Philippines and Mastercard collaborate to expand access to responsible credit

    TransUnion Philippines and Mastercard collaborate to expand access to responsible credit

    Following a successful pilot program, TransUnion Philippines, an information and insights company, and Mastercard (NYSE: MA), a global technology company in the payments industry, are working together to give financial institutions a broader and more timely view of consumers’ financial behavior.

    By combining TransUnion’s comprehensive credit, identity and alternative data insights with Mastercard’s aggregated transaction intelligence, the collaboration supports stronger decision-making, more meaningful customer engagement for lenders, and sustainable growth across the Philippines’ lending ecosystem.

    TransUnion, the Philippines’ first private comprehensive credit reference agency, helps institutions better understand consumers’ likelihood and ability to maintain credit commitments, even those who may not have held a credit product before.

    Mastercard’s behavioral signals, which are based on aggregated indicators of spending activity, further complement and supplement these insights, enhancing lenders’ understanding of consumers’ financial capacity and risk.

    For lenders, the collaboration will strengthen how institutions identify and engage credit-ready consumers.

    New-to-credit (with no credit history) and thin-file (with minimal credit history) consumers can be difficult to assess using traditional information alone, as there may be insufficient data to support confident decision-making.

    The enriched insights generated will allow lenders to reduce friction in the application review process and better tailor and align product offerings with consumers’ demonstrated financial patterns.

    The combined view helps financial institutions distinguish between applicants with similar profiles, understand emerging opportunities within existing portfolios, and engage customers appropriately based on wider financial activity.

    For consumers, the outcome is a decision process that is more accurate, timely and reflective of their financial behavior, resulting in credit experiences that feel more personalized, accessible and suited to their personal circumstances.

    Ultimately, this will contribute to greater financial inclusion, enabling Filipinos to access more economic opportunities.

    In addition to the expanded data coverage, Mastercard, through its consulting services, has collaborated with TransUnion to enhance data propositions for financial institutions, portfolio margin optimization, and strengthened collections strategies.

    “This collaboration builds on TransUnion’s existing strengths in alternative data and analytics,” said Peter Faulhaber, president and CEO at TransUnion Philippines.

    “By enriching our existing insights with Mastercard’s behavioral data, we’re helping institutions make more confident decisions while ensuring more Filipinos, especially those with limited credit histories, can be offered fair and relevant access to the financial system.”

    “Mastercard is committed to strengthening the foundations of a more inclusive financial ecosystem,” said Jason Crasto, country manager for Mastercard in the Philippines.

    “Our collaboration with TransUnion brings together complementary data assets that help financial institutions see a fuller picture of everyday economic participation.

    This combined intelligence enables lenders to design responsibly, grow sustainably and extend credit opportunities to people who have historically been underserved.”

  • 1xBet welcomes Aurora Gaming PH win

    1xBet welcomes Aurora Gaming PH win

    The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) World Championship recently ended in Jakarta. Despite the support of local fans, the Indonesian team Alter Ego lost the grand final to the Philippine representative Aurora Gaming PH, which secured its first world championship title.

    In this 1xBet review, you will learn everything you need to know about the recently concluded tournament.

    Interesting facts

    The M7 World Championship ran from January 3 to 25. It was the seventh MLBB world championship and the second to be held in Jakarta.

    Notably, the Philippines has only hosted the world championship once before, jointly with Malaysia: the M5 World Championship in 2023.

    Historically, our esports players have dominated world championships. Six out of seven M World Championships have been won by teams from the Philippines, with only the debut M1 title going to EVOS Legends from Indonesia.

    The reigning M6 World Championship holders, Fnatic ONIC PH, couldn’t defend their title, finishing fourth in MPL Philippines Season 16 and failing to qualify for the tournament.

    The Philippines also boasts the most significant representation at the M7 World Championship. Every fourth player in the tournament (36 out of 153) represented our country, and of the 22 squads in the main stage, esports players from the Philippines competed in 9!

    Group stage

    The Indonesian team Alter Ego was the first to advance to the playoffs with a perfect 3-0 record. This squad qualified for the World Championship for the first time in five years, finishing second in the MPL Indonesia Season 16 regional league. The second participant in the final stage, with the same 3-0 match score, was the Malaysian team Selangor Red Giants.

    The following three squads lost only one game each and made it to the playoffs with a 3-1 result: Aurora Gaming Turkey, Aurora Gaming PH, and Team Liquid PH.

    Remarkably, two teams, the Turkish and Filipino ones from the Serbian organization Aurora Gaming, showed almost identical outcomes. Notably, Aurora’s official partner is the global betting company 1xBet.

    In the decisive stage of the group stage, Team Spirit proved stronger than CFU Gaming (2-0), Yangon Galacticos beat CG Esports (2-0), and ONIC struggled but managed to defeat Team Falcons (2-1).

    Playoffs

    In the very first playoff match, fate brought both teams from the Philippines together. In a fierce duel, Aurora Gaming PH prevailed over the season leaders, Team Liquid PH (2-1). It’s noteworthy that after the defeat, our squad refused to give up and won two more games in the lower bracket against ONIC and Aurora Gaming Turkey with the same 3-1 score.

    Only the future finalists, Alter Ego, were able to stop Team Liquid PH in a fierce clash that ended 3-2. Team Liquid PH were considered the main favorites for the tournament, but finished only fourth.

    After winning the opening match, Aurora Gaming PH confidently overcame Alter Ego (3-1) and then took revenge on Selangor Red Giants for beating their sister team, Aurora Gaming Turkey, in the upper bracket final (3-2).

    The grand final turned out to be a repeat of the upper bracket semifinal, with Aurora Gaming PH and Alter Ego facing off. Both teams had suffered only one defeat throughout the tournament, and their strength and form were roughly equal, so analysts expected a serious struggle in all seven games.

    Nevertheless, the intrigue was evident only in the first two games, where the scales remained balanced until the very end. At the decisive moments, Aurora Gaming PH players demonstrated superior performance, confidently bringing the score to 2-0.

    At this point, Alter Ego seemed to break down mentally and gave up the next two games with little resistance. Each match lasted just over 10 minutes, and Aurora Gaming PH claimed the grand final with a clean 4-0 victory! The title of Finals MVP was deservedly awarded to the team’s roamer, Dylan “Light” Catipon.

    Aurora Gaming PH’s victory has once again confirmed the Philippines’ dominance in MLBB esports – our representatives now have 6 out of 7 world championship titles to their name!

    1xBet Philippines legit brand, sincerely congratulates its partner, Aurora Gaming PH, on their resounding triumph at the M7 World Championship, the main tournament of the year!
