ShopeePay, Shopee’s integrated mobile wallet, now offers users an easier way to pay for their DragonLoans, Home Credit, SkyPay, and Cashalo loans. Shopee aims to provide more convenient and rewarding payment options to its customers through the app, saving them the effort of paying for loans through over-the-counter bank deposits and automated machines.

As more people adopt digital payments for better convenience, it’s expected that a majority of Filipinos will rely on online payment platforms. A survey conducted in December 2020 by global analytics software firm FICO, revealed that 56 percent of Filipino consumers prefer to use digital channels to engage with their bank during financial hardship, while 12 percent used internet banking.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “With more people shifting to contactless payments, it’s essential to adapt to evolving needs and preferences. We recently launched our Scan & Donate initiative to support various charities. Now, we are proud to partner with DragonLoans, Home Credit, SkyPay, and Cashalo to enable users to pay for their loans in the comfort of their own homes. Shopee will continue to anticipate user needs and aim to make payments as seamless as possible, both online and offline.”

How to pay Loans Bills with ShopeePay (Cashback):

On the Shopee homepage, click “Load & Bills”

Tap the Loans icon and select Biller ( DragonLoans, Home Credit, SkyPay, Cashalo)

Enter account details and claim a 25% cashback voucher. Click “Continue”.

One of the trickier aspects of parenting is preparing meals, and now that the whole family spends more time at home, the task has become even more challenging for moms. Finding the time to come up with recipes that are both balanced and yummy can pose quite the dilemma for busy moms—plus, kids can be finicky.

Need inspo for coming up with easy, nutritious, and kid-approved meals? Check out mommy bloggers Michelle Estranero, Lhyzie Bongon, and Kaye Figuracion’s helpful tips, go-to recipes, and product recos available on Shopee, just in time for Nutrition Month. Instead of ordering takeout for dinner tonight, try whipping up these easy recipes with your kids so you can get them to enjoy balanced, home cooked food!

Michelle Estranero of Rockstarmomma

Michelle Estranero, the woman behind lifestyle blog Rockstarmomma, is also a working mother of two. As a parent who juggles creating content, working, housekeeping, and taking care of her toddler and teenager, Michelle relies on two key tips to make healthy cooking easier. “First, stock up on nutrition-packed foods that will stay fresh for a week or longer. Then limit purchases of tempting foods like chips, cookies, sodas, and ice cream. They are high in empty calories and run up your grocery bill,” she shares.

Michelle’s no-fail recipe is no-bake baked mac and cheese. Busy moms will find this quick and easy to make. Throw in a few healthy modifications, such as substituting hotdogs with chicken sausage, using organic whole wheat elbow macaroni, or going for lactose-free cheese, and you’re good to go.

Here are Michelle’s product recommendations for this recipe:

Luminarc Vitro Blooming Casserole 3-in-1 Folding Chopping Board Kitchen Knife Set

Lhyzie Bongon of Life With Lhyzie

Every day, single mom Lhyzie Bongon of Life with Lhyzie prepares meals for her seven-year-old daughter and their extended family. Since she cooks for such a huge household, one of Lhyzie’s priorities is to ensure that every dietary requirement is accommodated, especially during the pandemic. “Food intake depends on how you live and how it affects your current health status. My fellow moms can create a foundation for a healthy lifestyle by choosing organic vegetables and fruits and avoiding processed foods and artificial ingredients.”

Lhyzie’s signature healthy recipe is her chicken and sotanghon soup. It comes packed with protein thanks to the chicken breast, contains plenty of vegetables, and soothes the soul on rainy days.

Here are Lhyzie’s product recommendations for this recipe:

Relish Vermicelli Premium Sotanghon Knorr Chicken Broth Cube Masflex Induction Casserole

Kaye Figuracion of K Figuracion

Aside from parenting an eleven-year-old and a two-year-old, Kaye Figuracion has her hands full with homemaking, running the family business, and creating content for her blog, K Figuracion. With such a packed daily schedule, Kaye admits that meal prep can be tough. To elevate her dishes, she looks for inspiration. “I watch Youtube tutorials so I have a variety of meals to serve. I just tweak recipes based on our children’s preferences. I also joined an online mom group that shares healthy cooking ideas, techniques, and ingredients to make veggie dishes more delectable for kids.”

Kaye’s Pan-Fried Cheesy Salmon is popular among her kids for its rich, flavorful taste. Even better, it contains plenty of Omega-3 fatty acids and protein! For a healthier option, you can lessen the cheese, depending on your children’s preferences and nutritional needs.

Here are Kaye’s product recommendations for this recipe:

Happy Call Non-stick Frying Pan Microwave Oven DeliGood Norwegian Salmon Fillet

Online shopping tips for moms

Like plenty of Filipino moms, Michelle, Lhyzie, and Kaye shop online for groceries, depending on Shopee’s convenience, safety, variety, and rewards. To maximize the experience, Michelle advises other moms, “Join the Shopee Mom’s Club to enjoy free shipping vouchers monthly and exclusive brand vouchers for everyday essentials. You can also connect and learn from other moms via the Shopee Moms Viber Community.”

Meanwhile, Lhyzie weighs each product carefully in the balance before making a decision. “Keep an eye on all product offerings. Visit Shopee Mall for more deals, and make sure to compare brands, prices, and functions. Don’t forget to check the reviews and comments!”

For Kaye, it’s important to maximize the app’s features. “I usually go straight to the sale, flash deals, or cashback tabs to find the best deals of the day. I also follow my favorite stores and turn on notifications to get first dibs on promos and new arrivals.”

Shopee, the leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, takes its engagement initiatives to the next level with fun and interactive live streaming activities in time for the Shopee 6.6-7.7 Mid-Year Sale. Until June 6, shoppers, online sellers, and streamers can participate in various 6.6 activities on Shopee Live such as Bida sa Pagalingan, Seller Stream & Win, and Suki Marathon, where they can win cash prizes, vouchers, and ShopeePay credits.

Martin Yu, Director at Shopee Philippines, said, “As Filipinos’ buying habits shift, our brand partners and online sellers need to find innovative ways to keep shoppers constantly engaged and interested. Many of them turn to Shopee Live to maintain customer loyalty and satisfaction by showcasing their products and answering customer inquiries in real-time. Shopee is doubling up on our efforts to enhance the online shopping experience for users with three exciting live streaming activities this 6.6-7.7 Mid-Year Sale.”

Starting today until June 6, viewers, sellers, and live streamers can win amazing prizes, coin bonuses, vouchers, and ShopeePay credits during the three Shopee Live activities. Viewers can win up to ₱96,000 in Bida sa Pagalingan and ₱15,000 ShopeePay credits in Suki Marathon.

Two Shopee Live streamers share the benefits of live streaming and how these new activities helped them create an exciting atmosphere to sell their products.

Rina Alinsunurin Salcedo, a 28-year old Shopee seller, shared how Shopee Live has benefited her business. She started live streaming in 2019 and discovered how effective it was in helping her gain sales and interact with her viewers more. “Through Shopee Live, we could demonstrate and explain our products effectively to our customers and answer their inquiries in real-time. It’s also through Shopee Live where we can talk about the product and assess which ones we would recommend to our viewers, making it an interactive online shopping for both parties. With our sales from Shopee Live, we were able to occupy a 3-story building office. We are very motivated to stream every day with these new Shopee Live initiatives for 6.6, and so far, it has boosted our sales. I’m excited to know what new initiatives Shopee has in store for us.”

Meanwhile, Shopee livestreamer, Zedrick Lugada Arnuco, said that initiatives like the 6.6 Suki Marathon is an opportunity for him to push sales and reach his quota. “As Shopee continues to come up with fun activities, it has allowed me to grow as a content creator, challenging myself to push beyond my limits.” His experience as a live stream viewer also provided insights into what exactly his viewers are looking for during a stream.

“During competitions like the 6.6 Suki Marathon, I am very appreciative of viewers’ eagerness to help me to boost sales and engagement. I usually receive messages from them saying how much they’ve enjoyed my live stream, and they also motivate me to join more competitions. These 6.6 live stream activities provide a win-win situation, where viewers can stand to win prizes and streamers can also use the chance to achieve more engagements.”

Users can look forward to free shipping with ₱0 minimum spend and 20% cash back at the Shopee 6.6-7.7 Mid Year Sale. In addition, users can also enjoy more free shipping vouchers, big discounts, ₱1 deals, discounted data and load, and daily 15% cashback when they check out or pay bills using ShopeePay.*
