Millennials like to do things in their own way. Unlike the generations before them, these passionate young adults do not follow a specific formula for their lifestyles. They are spontaneous, excited, and always going against the flow in search for experiences that will make their lives worth living.

But if there’s one thing that millennials have in common with other generations, it is that they are also financially conscious. And in this modern age, millennials can enjoy the convenience of saving money and shopping for their needs and wants using a trusty debit card. Here are a few reasons why debit cards are preferred by many young Filipinos:

Easier way to save cash

With a debit card, you can simply go to the bank and deposit cash to your account. This way, you are assured that your money is safe and secure; it even earns interest so you can grow your savings. Debit cards also teaches you to spend wisely because, unlike credit cards, you can only use what you have in your account. So the more you deposit and save money in your card, the more you can go on shopping sprees and planning for your next out-of-town-trips.

Convenient and safer transactions

Debit cards also provide an alternative way to carry money anywhere you go. Instead of bringing large amounts of cash in your wallet, you can just bring your debit card and swipe it for instant purchases. You can even use it for online shopping with your favorite brands and stores. Just make sure to secure your debit account with a PIN code so your savings stay safe.

Rewards for your spending

And what better way to enjoy your debit cards than by getting perks for every purchase. Some card providers offer exciting rewards and promos on shopping, dining, traveling, and grocery transactions with your debit card.

The CEB GetGo Debit Card, the first and only debit card that earns GetGo points for free flights, earns 1GetGo point for every PHP 88 spent. With CEB GetGo Debit Card, you also receive alerts and have the first dibs on Cebu Pacific’s exclusive seat sale offers and upcoming promos. Cardholders can also get discounts when purchasing flights via GetGo and experience cashless Visa transactions on trips locally and abroad.

Starting this month, new cardholders are up for even more exciting rewards with its Take 5 promo! Every Visa transaction made on the first month of the newly-approved CEB GetGo Debit Card will earn 5% rebate for the cardholder. It’s like you spend some, you get some -- and even more!

Interested individuals can apply online via http://bit.ly/CEBGetGoDebit and pick up their cards at any UnionBank branch. Upon receiving the card, they can enjoy purchases that can reward them with a maximum rebate of P500 for more savings. Rebates will be instantly credited to members’ GetGo savings account within the first week of the next calendar month.

Can we live now without internet? In this digital age, people depend most of the time through social medias. Living without internet, that's almost like living in the Dark Ages. As much as we have to admit it, we eat, breath, and live our lives on the internet and the only time we go offline is when we need to get some sleep. Yah, I admit it.

Even in expressing our feelings, specially our loved to someone is as easy as 123.  We even manage most of our relationships online, and for a lot of people, those "likes" and "comments have become a gauge of their friendships.

With that, I have so many realization after watching "Ang Babaeng Allergic Sa Wifi". Cignal Entertainment, the new original content division of Cignal, in partnership with the Idea First Company and OctoberTrain Films, presents a fresh look at love in the digital age with "Ang Babaeng Allergic sa Wifi"

When a teenage girl develops an allergy to Wi-Fi, she is forced to live in a remote province, pushing her to reevaluate her relationships and the boy she believes is her one true love.

The movie stars Sue Ramirez, Markus Peterson, Jameson Blake and its directed by Award winning Director Jun Robles Lana.

"What interested me most about the idea, when I came across a 2009 news report about a British mn who was allergic to Wi-Fi, is the opportunity to explore the underlying sadness and emptiness of modern relationships," shares Director Jun Robles Lana.

"Nowadays, with the advances of technology, no matter where we go, it's so easy to get in touch with our loved ones. But a lot of our correspondence has also been reduced to emojis and likes and superficial interactions online. What happens if the technology that's supposed to connect you to the whole world suddenly isolates you literally and take away your freedom and the life you once lived and knew.

The movie really hit the millennial, I myself is also a millennial. After watching the movie, since it's about the love life of teenagers, I miss one thing, I miss the old ways of courting the girls, and especially when both of you are officially in a relationship. The love letters, the stuff toys, the visits, the date without gadgets, the HHWW (Holding Hands While Walking) those are the things I misses the most. The hardship of the guy to visit the girls in their houses just to court or see him personally, those are the things that makes kilig to both who are in love with each other. Well, when millennials have finally watch it they will surely agree with me.

Let's talk about the acting of the stars of "Ang Babaeng Allergic Sa Wi-Fi".

First, Sue Ramirez, you nailed it girl! The role is so perfect for you, and acting wise you give justice to the character. You Make Norma a strong girl to face everything just for love. Keep it up.

Markus Paterson, Good Job boy! Though it was your first acting opportunity, still we didn't see that your a newbie in this movie. Your acting is superb. You make Leo faced the hardship of showing your love to your loved ones, forgive and to give way.

Jameson Blake, why you're so handsome and talented? Yah, the first time I personally interviewed you, I know that you will give your best to whatever role that will be given to you, and this is it! You make Aries character be longed by so many girls. A boyfriend or loved one like you to have in their lives.

Margaux (Norma's friend)Girl you're noticeable here in the movie because you make Margaux hate because of what you did to Norma. The role is also perfect for you.

Angellie Saño (Bff of Aries) Great acting girl, it's so natural and really made us believe in your character and who wouldn't miss those punchlines. You make the BFF of Aries love and wants to have a best friend like you forever.

A favorite among OPPO fans, VOOC Flash Charge applies a low voltage fast charging mechanism to deliver lightning-quick charging.

OPPO wanted to infuse these feelings into the design of the product to provide consumers with vitality rooted in nature.

During the Department of Science and Technology's (DOST) launch of the Imake.WeMake competition in 2016, many young Filipinos showcased their creativity and skills in developing inventions that can help address some of the country's societal problems. The competition proved effective in encouraging young Filipinos across the country to use their aptitude in science and technology in devising creative solutions in food safety, health, education, and security and disaster mitigation. This year, DOST partnered with local ICT giant, Acer Philippines, to host the derby's sophomore run using its Internet-of-Things toolkit, Acer CloudProfessor.

“Equipped with the CloudProfessor, young Filipinos can now easily apply programming in their innovative solutions. Coding can be a challenge for young innovators that all it takes is one wrong character for your code not to run. Acer CloudProfessor helps students with the wide selection of built-in codes that can easily be adapted in their creation,” said Acer Philippines Managing Director Manuel Wong.

The Acer CloudProfessor toolkit combines hardware, software, and the Cloud to make coding easy to learn and apply for students ready to bring their inventions to life. Using any mobile device, users can easily start coding by JavaScript, LiveCode, or Google’s Blockly anywhere even without a desktop through the CloudProfessor app. The straightforward interface and the toolkit’s user friendliness adds to the ease of use making coding simple to understand and effortless to execute. Each pack contains the CloudProfessor unit with eight application packages for the students to try out with the provided sample code, so they can experiment with hardware and mix and match the applications based on their preference.

“We devised CloudProfessor to be the tool that can make coding easy and fun,” said Wong. “Eventually, this will enable more and more Filipino students to become adept in coding, which is a necessary skill to thrive and excel in a tech savvy work environment.”

DOST Science Education Institute Director Dr. Josette Biyo said DOST and Acer Philippines are looking forward to new the ideas that Filipino students will come up with this year given the impressive array of inventions presented last year. “With encouragement and support, we’ve seen how students can provide fresh insights in coming up with ingenious solutions to decade-old challenges.”

In last year’s competition, student participants from high schools in Makati, Bataan, and Leyte emerged as the top teams, having developed a power generator to reduce energy consumption in school, a traffic surveillance system to detect vehicles' distance from pedestrian lanes, and water level sensors to detect rising flood waters.

A team from Pitogo High School- Makati, developed “Project IRIS” or an Intercepting Relayed Imaging System which is an automatic surveillance system that can detect cars that step inside the pedestrian lane. Bataan’s representatives from Limay National High School developed “Project Maxima: Hydropower Generator”, which can provide their school with an extra clean source of energy. Lastly, inspired by learnings from super-typhoon Yolanda, Philippine Science High School-Eastern Visayas Campus made a Water Rise Alert System equipped with a water level sensor, a radio frequency transmission unit, alarms, a raindrop detector, lights for danger signaling, and solar panels for recharging.

“With last year’s remarkable entries, the bar is definitely set higher now with the inclusion of Acer’s CloudProfessor. Since coding will be supported by the all-in-one toolkit, we are expecting more impactful inventions to grab our attention.” Biyo added.

Teams of 3 students can submit their prototype proposals of inventions or solutions in food safety, education, health, security and disaster mitigation using the CloudProfessor as the main platform. Qualifying teams will be given technical training and workshop on CloudProfessor to help in developing their prototypes. After training, the teams will present their final output and three of the most outstanding works will receive prizes and awards.

Imake.WeMake was initiated to unleash the creativity of young Filipinos and to discover their potentials in using technology. This year, DOST’s partnership with the tech giant Acer Philippines further empowers the students to take their education beyond the walls of their classrooms and participate in a competition that can produce advanced tools to solve real-life challenges.
