Peace of mind at home: Why the landline still matters for Filipino Families

<div style="text-align: left;">In
today’s digital world, staying connected has never been easier. Families
communicate via mobile phones, messaging apps, and video calls, but when
everyday routines shift or unexpected situations arise, many families realize
that peace of mind comes from having more than one way to stay connected.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://thevoicenewsweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/PLDT-Home-Landline-Peace-of-Mind.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="751" data-original-width="720" height="640" loading="lazy" src="https://thevoicenewsweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/PLDT-Home-Landline-Peace-of-Mind.jpg" width="614" /></a></div> </div>

Whether
it is a child arriving home before their parents, a grandparent who prefers a
traditional phone, or an urgent situation that requires immediate assistance, a
dedicated home landline remains one of the simplest and most dependable ways
for everyone in the household to reach out.<o:p></o:p>

A
shared number everyone can use<o:p></o:p>

Unlike
mobile phones, which belong to individuals, a landline belongs to the home. It
gives every member of the household access to a single reliable home number,
which makes it easier for children, parents, grandparents, and other family
members to make or receive important calls whenever needed. <o:p></o:p>

For
families with young children who do not yet have smartphones, a landline offers
a simple way to reach parents or guardians. For senior family members who may
find mobile apps unfamiliar, it provides a familiar, accessible way to stay
connected with relatives, neighbors, healthcare providers, and essential
services.<o:p></o:p>

A home
landline can also serve as a convenient point of contact for schools, delivery
services, utility providers, and home-based businesses.<o:p></o:p>

Prepared
for the unexpected<o:p></o:p>

Preparedness
begins long before an emergency occurs. During emergencies, having multiple
ways to communicate gives families an added layer of reassurance. A home
landline offers another way to reach loved ones, contact service providers, or
call the national emergency hotline, 911, when immediate assistance is needed.<o:p></o:p>

For
many families, that additional communication channel provides comfort. It means
someone at home has a way to call for help, check in, or stay reachable when
every second counts.<o:p></o:p>

Connectivity that supports everyday life<o:p></o:p>

Today’s Filipino homes are more than
places to live. They are workplaces, classrooms, small businesses, and spaces
where families gather, care for one another, and build their daily routines.<o:p></o:p>

As households become increasingly
connected, families need multiple ways to stay in touch, whether through
internet access, mobile phones, messaging apps, or a home landline.<o:p></o:p>

PLDT Home continues to support these
evolving needs with its Fiber plans, which bundle a landline with high-speed
internet. More than a traditional phone service, the landline complements
digital connectivity by providing a dedicated voice line for personal, family,
business, and emergency communication.<o:p></o:p>

Because the landline is included with
every PLDT Home Fiber plan, families can enjoy the convenience of a home
landline without paying for a separate subscription.<o:p></o:p>

A
Small Feature That Brings Lasting Peace of Mind<o:p></o:p>

But
one thing has not changed: every family benefits from a reliable way to reach
home and call for help when it matters most.<o:p></o:p>

Sometimes,
peace of mind comes from knowing there is always a phone within reach that
everyone in the household can use.<o:p></o:p>

For
Filipino families seeking a more complete home connectivity experience, PLDT
Home Fiber combines fast, reliable internet with a bundled landline, offering
digital convenience and the reassurance of one dependable number the whole
family can count on.<o:p></o:p>

Apply
now for a PLDT Home Fiber plan to enjoy fast, reliable internet with a
dedicated landline for your home.<o:p></o:p>

Moneymaxxing Your Credit Card Without Maxing It Out

<div style="text-align: left;"> 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.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.maya.ph/hubfs/deals%20page%202023/Maya_DealsPageBanner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" loading="lazy" src="https://www.maya.ph/hubfs/deals%20page%202023/Maya_DealsPageBanner.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> </div>

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.<o:p></o:p>

Credit cards, when used strategically, can play an
important role in that equation.<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

<h2 style="layout-grid-mode: char; margin: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">Put planned spending on your card<o:p></o:p></h2>

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.<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

Treat your credit limit as a tool<o:p></o:p>

A credit limit isn't extra income, it's a financial tool.
<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

Because
moneymaxxing isn't about seeing how much credit you can access. It's about
using it strategically.<o:p></o:p>

<h2 style="layout-grid-mode: char; margin: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">Choose rewards you'll actually use<o:p></o:p></h2>

The best rewards are the
ones you'll actually use.<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

<h2 style="layout-grid-mode: char; margin: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">Use flexibility when it makes sense<o:p></o:p></h2>

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.<o:p></o:p>

That's
why flexibility has quietly become one of the most underrated financial tools.<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

<h2 style="layout-grid-mode: char; margin: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify;">Pay on time, your future self will thank you<o:p></o:p></h2>

Moneymaxxing
isn't just about rewards, cashback, or perks. Some of the biggest benefits
happen behind the scenes.<o:p></o:p>

Paying
your credit card bill on time helps you avoid unnecessary charges and supports
healthy credit habits over time.<o:p></o:p>

And
since everything lives within the Maya app, it's easier to keep track of
spending, rewards, payments, and credit all in one place.<o:p></o:p>

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.<o:p></o:p>

PLDT Home Celebrates Mompreneurs Transforming Communities at 4th Gawad Madiskarte

PLDT Home recently concluded its 4th Gawad Madiskarte Awards, celebrating the resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit of Filipino mompreneurs who continue to make meaningful contributions to their communities. Since its launch in 2020, the initiative has grown into a powerful platform that recognizes mothers who successfully balance family life while building impactful businesses.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv3PaWTQq598QEWArGywOBlHZjYKyy8RE4P4UiRHGa_AMBB_LP6wVhyphenhyphen1EQf2Ncy6IztEnwPGaOG8K0trOTOGI1Flbgv5JKV61wBu_4_hf7rMbPVfymdkoqj8gNE_gA8zmA7EcFC9aSaBF_sLv-MW6Otne3fZ53yn6_kmkw92je2chU2wQviYKEuZnNpvY/s720/Main_4th%20Gawad%20Madiskarte.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="490" data-original-width="720" height="436" loading="lazy" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv3PaWTQq598QEWArGywOBlHZjYKyy8RE4P4UiRHGa_AMBB_LP6wVhyphenhyphen1EQf2Ncy6IztEnwPGaOG8K0trOTOGI1Flbgv5JKV61wBu_4_hf7rMbPVfymdkoqj8gNE_gA8zmA7EcFC9aSaBF_sLv-MW6Otne3fZ53yn6_kmkw92je2chU2wQviYKEuZnNpvY/w640-h436-rw/Main_4th%20Gawad%20Madiskarte.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> Now marking its fifth year, the growing community, together with partners from UN Women and the Philippine Commission on Women, launched its empowering campaign “Panahon Mo Na,” a rallying call for mothers who have quietly built businesses while caring for their families. The message is simple yet powerful: it is time for mompreneurs to take pride in what they have built and confidently embrace their identity as entrepreneurs. This spirit is reflected in the growing Madiskarte Moms PH (MMPH) community, which now has over 227,000 members supporting one another through shared experiences, mentorship, and digital empowerment.PLDT Home emphasized the role of connectivity in enabling these women to succeed, noting that beyond business growth, it also supports the everyday resilience of mothers navigating both family and enterprise. “At PLDT, we believe that reliable connectivity is a powerful enabler of growth. When mompreneurs are equipped with the right digital tools and supported by a strong community, they are able to expand their businesses, create opportunities, and uplift others,” said Menardo “Butch” Jimenez Jr., PLDT Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology officer.Honoring Heart and Hustle: The PLDT Home 4th Gawad Madiskarte WinnersThis year’s awards recognized outstanding mompreneurs across several categories, showcasing the diversity of industries and impact within the community.The Diskarteng Fiber Biz award was given to Rambie Go of Rambie’s Collection, whose handcrafted accessories made from upcycled materials promote sustainability while creating livelihood opportunities for fellow mothers. “I am happy and grateful for this award as this recognizes the growing interest in sustainable fashion and inspires fellow moms to start small,” said Go.For the Diskarteng Angat (Start-Up) category,Sheena Marie A. Mallari of Jakesheen’s Homemade Spreads was recognized for crafting a variety of rich and creamy yema spread flavors. “Every challenge you face is part of your journey. Stay positive, stay consistent, and keep going,” said Mallari.The Diskarteng Angat (Scale-Up) award was presented to Melanie A. Medrano of Gramworth Enterprises Inc., whose healthy, easy-to-prepare instant cacao drink products support local farmers through ethical trade practices. “I want to say mabuhay to every Filipina. I believe that each of us has the diskarte, faith, and the support of our community to succeed,” said Medrano.Lanie Abanes Geronimo of Ecobum Cloth Diapers won the Diskarteng Eco-Friendly (Start-Up) award for her locally made cloth diapers designed to help prevent skin irritation among infants. She started the business after the heartbreaking loss of her baby, turning her grief into a purpose-driven venture. “I’d like to congratulate all the mothers present. Each one of us has a story worth celebrating,” Geronimo said. Elsie Camille Espiritu of Kamagong Woodworkz received the Diskarteng May-Puso (Scale-Up) award for her mom-led business, which creates handcrafted woodworks for homes and enterprises. “I was at a low point during the pandemic, but the Madiskarte Moms PH community inspired me to start earning and build a business born from my husband’s and my shared passions,” Espiritu shared.With over 200 nominations received, the awards highlighted the diversity and innovation within the mompreneur community. Winners received cash prizes and specially designed trophies by Filipino visual artist Eric Masangkay, while finalists were also recognized for their achievements, reinforcing the program’s inclusive and supportive approach.The distinguished panel of judges included Menardo “Butch” Jimenez Jr., Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer, PLDT Inc.; Ces Oreña-Drilon, broadcast journalist and news anchor; Bernadette “Bidibidi” De Los Santos, Executive Director of the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries (PCAF) and owner of Bidibidi Enterprise; Prep Palacios, Country Manager of Google Philippines; Anna Meloto-Wilk, President and Co-Founder of Human Nature; Melissa Yeung-Yap, CEO of Greenstone Pharmaceutical; and Angela Chen-Delantar, Chairperson and Co-Founder of Eskwelabs. Their expertise and experience provided valuable insight in evaluating the finalists’ entrepreneurial journeys and the impact of their businesses.More than an awards ceremony, Gawad Madiskarte underscores the importance of empowering women through digital access and community support. By spotlighting these stories, PLDT Home continues to inspire more mothers to pursue entrepreneurship, proving that success is not only measured by profit, but also by purpose, perseverance, and the ability to uplift others.As the program continues to grow, it stands as a testament to how heart and hustle can drive meaningful change, both within households and across communities.Reinforcing this commitment, partners emphasized the importance of creating more inclusive opportunities for women entrepreneurs, noting that initiatives like Gawad Madiskarte help advance gender equality by enabling women to thrive both economically and socially.Jimenez added, “What makes a Madiskarte Mom remarkable is not how she succeeds when things are easy, but how she moves forward when they are not.”Mothers and aspiring entrepreneurs are encouraged to join the Madiskarte Moms PH community and be part of a growing network that empowers women to thrive in business. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Designed specifically for sensitive spaces like nurseries and bedrooms, the Dehumidifier Lite features a Whisper-quiet Sleep Mode that operates at just 33.82 dB(A). This ensures that while the device works to keep the air dry and comfortable, the family’s rest remains undisturbed.The Power of Xiaomi’s AIoT SynergyAs part of Xiaomi’s robust AIoT ecosystem, these devices work in harmony to create a balanced, healthy, and sanitary living space. By automating air management, Xiaomi allows parents and caregivers to focus on what matters most—the well-being of their loved ones. A healthy home truly starts with the air you breathe, and Xiaomi’s new AIoT solutions keep that space clean, dry, and perfectly balanced.The Mijia Smart Air Purifier 6 and Xiaomi Smart Dehumidifier Lite are now both available for P9,999 on Xiaomi’s official Shopee stores and authorized outlets nationwide.To learn more about these devices, visit http://mi.com/ph.

It’s about getting more out of your money, letting it grow, earn, and give something back while you go about your day.<o:p></o:p> And with everything in one place, Maya, the country’s #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform, makes that shift feel easier to actually keep up with.<o:p></o:p> <h3 align="justify" style="layout-grid-mode: char; margin-top: 0.0000pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">Start by putting your money to work<o:p></o:p></h3>If your money isn’t growing, it’s slowly losing value, especially now.<o:p></o:p> That’s why one of the easiest shifts is simply moving your money somewhere it actually does something. With Maya Savings, you can earn up to 15% interest per annum, credited daily, which means growth isn’t something abstract. You see it happen in real time.<o:p></o:p> And that matters more than it sounds. Because once you start seeing your money grow, even in small amounts, you’re more likely to keep going.

Moneymaxxing in this economy: Here’s How Maya Helps You Do It

Lately, more Filipinos are getting intentional about their money. Not by cutting everything out—but by making what they already do count f...

Maya Shares Smarter Ways for Filipinos to Stay Ahead of Monthly Bills

As fuel prices rise and utility costs continue to put pressure on
household budgets, many Filipinos are feeling the squeeze of everyday expenses
more sharply, not just because things cost more, but because everything seems
to come in at once.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR1TjsCB2D3umA5ZRlLOwgr-Jr0OXvA63ojgtZPmNiQUx4MNFqa1mdGfSoTRNd1snQaux11H2Uxw77JEtCp1goW9gj3AVy-cainRVniZW6MetlVCSuQx6aIE66bo8uXTCzJ4IXhaYWmOGVgABaCwAHl4b_eZ-G4FXxlhD_fTCaPYO3klLYAY846OOUztE/s2240/PR_Staying-Ahead-of-Your-Bills-_BlogBanner-S2%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1260" data-original-width="2240" height="360" loading="lazy" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR1TjsCB2D3umA5ZRlLOwgr-Jr0OXvA63ojgtZPmNiQUx4MNFqa1mdGfSoTRNd1snQaux11H2Uxw77JEtCp1goW9gj3AVy-cainRVniZW6MetlVCSuQx6aIE66bo8uXTCzJ4IXhaYWmOGVgABaCwAHl4b_eZ-G4FXxlhD_fTCaPYO3klLYAY846OOUztE/w640-h360-rw/PR_Staying-Ahead-of-Your-Bills-_BlogBanner-S2%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

Bills don’t always arrive with a warning. A subscription renews, a
utility rate adjusts, a weekend plan comes together — and before long, next
month’s salary already feels allocated.<o:p></o:p>

In moments like this, staying ahead of bills isn’t about cutting
out every small comfort or putting your life on hold. It’s about having a
system in place, something that helps keep things steady, even as costs shift
around you.<o:p></o:p>

As the #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform in
the Philippines, Maya is
helping Filipinos move from simply keeping up with their expenses to feeling
more on top of them. Here are a few ways people are starting to make that feel
more manageable.<o:p></o:p>

1. Build a Buffer and Make It Grow<o:p></o:p>

Bills
are predictable. Emergencies aren’t. <o:p></o:p>The
reason people fall behind isn’t always overspending, it’s when an unexpected
expense collides with fixed monthly obligations: a repair, a medical bill, a sudden
change in plans. Without a buffer, bill money becomes emergency money. And
that’s where stress starts.

With
Maya Personal Goals, users can create up to five separate savings buckets, whether
for upcoming bills, emergencies, or future plans. Each goal earns 4% interest
per annum immediately, and every ₱20,000 added increases the rate, reaching up
to 8% p.a. on deposits of up to ₱100,000.<o:p></o:p>

That
means savings grow while staying organized, reducing the need to rely on credit
when something unexpected happens.<o:p></o:p>

For
those who prefer added discipline, Time Deposit Plus allows funds to be locked
in for 3, 6, or 12 months, earning up to 6% p.a. on deposits of up to ₱1
million per account. With up to five accounts, that’s as much as ₱5 million
earning interest.<o:p></o:p>

2. Don’t Romanticize the Swipe, Make It Work for You<o:p></o:p>

Bills
don’t usually hurt in the moment, they hurt next month. And spending can feel
effortless especially when travel, dining, and “I deserve this” purchases are
everywhere. But the real pressure shows up when those swipes roll into minimum
payments that eat into future income.<o:p></o:p>

Staying
ahead of bills in 2026 isn’t about avoiding credit. It’s about preventing
today’s spending from becoming next month’s stress.<o:p></o:p>

Before
tapping your card, it helps to pause: Can this be paid in full when the bill
arrives? Is this already part of the budget?<o:p></o:p>

Used intentionally, the Maya Black Credit Card can make everyday spending feel a
little lighter over time. Cardholders earn Maya Miles on all transactions,
which can be used to offset future essentials, dining, travel, and other
lifestyle costs, turning routine purchases into something you can actually
benefit from later.<o:p></o:p>

For more everyday expenses, the Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card offers cashback across common spend
categories, including 1% at Landers Caltex branches, up to 5%
at Landers Superstore, 2% on dining, and 1% on other transactions, helping soften the impact of costs
that tend to show up month after month.<o:p></o:p>

Credit
should reward what’s budgeted and not create bills that compete with rent.<o:p></o:p>

3. When You Need to Borrow, Choose Predictability<o:p></o:p>

Sometimes, even with planning, expenses exceed what’s available. <o:p></o:p>For short-term gaps, Maya Easy Credit provides a revolving credit
line of up to ₱30,000, designed to be repaid within up to 30 days. This gives
you flexibility to bridge temporary shortfalls while keeping usage and
repayment clearly visible inside the app, helping prevent small gaps from
turning into uncontrolled balances.

For larger, planned expenses, Maya Personal Loan offers up to
₱250,000 with fixed repayment terms. Knowing exactly how much is due and when
reduces uncertainty, and helps avoid balances from slowly piling up month after
month.<o:p></o:p>

4. Make Interest Work in Your Favor<o:p></o:p>

Interest
can either build your savings or build your stress.<o:p></o:p>

Keeping
funds in a Maya Savings account can earn up to 15% per annum, credited daily,
helping money grow steadily instead of sitting idle. Over time, that growth
strengthens your buffer, making it easier to absorb rising costs without
relying on credit.<o:p></o:p>

At
the same time, paying credit balances on time prevents finance charges from
compounding and adding unnecessary weight to future statements. The goal isn’t
just paying what’s due. It’s preventing small balances from becoming long-term
burdens.<o:p></o:p>

Dining
out. Weekend trips. Occasional upgrades. These don’t have to disappear to stay
ahead of bills. But building buffers that grow, using credit strategically, and
borrowing with predictability matters. Because staying ahead isn’t about
restriction, it’s about making sure next month still feels manageable, even before
it even begins.<o:p></o:p>
