Your Dinner Plans This Love Month, Now With 20% Cashback When You Pay With Your Maya Credit Card

February usually means more dinner plans than usual. Some are dates. Some are catch-ups. Some are just excuses to go somewhere good. And if a solid night out for you means great food, good company, and a bill that doesn’t kill the vibe, this one’s for you.

This Love Month, Maya, the #1 digital bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform in the Philippines, is adding a little extra value to your nights out. Credit cardholders can enjoy 20% cashback on a minimum single receipt of ₱3,500 at participating restaurants, capped at ₱1,000, when you pay with your Maya Credit Card.

Whether it’s an intimate table for two, shared plates with friends, or finally checking out that restaurant you’ve been saving for months, the idea is simple: enjoy the night and get something back.

It works across the kinds of places people usually gravitate toward this season. Think dining at Antonio’s, Gallery by Chele, Toyo Eatery, or Hapag; intimate, chef-driven spots like Helm, Celera, or Den by Nikkei; and classic go-tos for a dressed-up night out such as Blackbird, Wolfgang’s Steakhouse, Smith & Wollensky, Mamou Prime, or CRU Steakhouse.

And because good nights don’t always end when the plates are cleared, Maya is extending the same 20% cashback to Manila’s bar scene. This month, cardholders can enjoy cashback on a minimum single receipt of ₱2,500 at participating bars, capped at ₱600.

The bar list includes some of the city’s most familiar late-night fixtures, such as Blind Pig, After Hours, El Gato, Three Dots, and The Opal Bar—places where one drink is rarely the last.

On top of the cashback, cardholders continue to earn their usual rewards. Maya Black Credit Card users receive up to 10x Maya Miles, while Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card holders earn 2% cashback points on eligible transactions.

PH-owned fintech firm BCRemit expands global footprint to 23 countries, outlines roadmap to scale local innovation beyond Filipino market

Building on its success in the retail remittance sector, BCRemit, a Filipino-led global digital remittance company, has expanded its services to 23 countries and announced plans to scale its operations to provide tailored cross-border payment solutions beyond the overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).

The company plans to launch a suite of cross-border payment services tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), Business Process Outsourcings (BPOs), and freelancers, marking a significant expansion beyond its core Filipino roots. This evolution targets a broader global audience, aiming to provide services for other major migrant markets, including those from India, Mexico, and China.

"Our mission has always been to show that Filipino-led innovation can offer transformative solutions to the world. By expanding our services beyond our core community, we aim to serve as a global financial partner built on Filipino values ready to serve the world’s most dynamic economies,” said Oliver Calma, Founder and CEO of BCRemit.

BCRemit will start 2026 with the launch of a new QR-payment collection feature in partnership with Coins.ph. This feature will streamline outbound remittances from the Philippines, further strengthening BCRemit’s established integrations with major e-wallet platforms. This innovation is set to complement the surging remittance economy, which reached $2.91 billion in November 2025 alone.

Looking ahead, BCRemit also envisions evolving as an all-in-one financial platform, diversifying its product offerings to introduce loans, e-wallets, stablecoin, and investments.

Currently, BCRemit has processed over 1 million transactions since its launch, amounting to over $600 million in transaction value, underscoring the platform’s robust capability to seamlessly facilitate high-volume cross-border settlements.

BCRemit is leveraging its strategic partnership with Circle Internet Financial to harness technology in overcoming the challenges of traditional remittances. By utilizing blockchain technology and USDC stablecoins, the platform has successfully reduced transaction costs to approximately 1%, a stark contrast to the global average remittance cost of 6.4%. This infrastructure allows for near-instant settlements, bypassing the 3-5 day delays typical of traditional banking channels and ensuring that funds reach their destination at their highest possible value.

BCRemit CEO and founder - Oliver Calma

BCRemit was established in 2015 by Oliver Calma and his son, Gio, inspired by their own family's history. Drawing from Oliver’s years as an overseas worker and the family's reliance on his sent funds, they built the platform to solve the real-world delays they faced firsthand and ensure other families wouldn't face the same hurdles. Their mission is rooted in the belief that overseas workers deserve to 'send money back home faster,' a principle that remains the heartbeat of the company’s 2026 expansion.

"We saw firsthand the impact of financial delays on our own family growing up, and that drives our commitment to innovation today," said Gio Calma, Co-Founder and Director of BCRemit. "We understand that for our customers, remittances aren’t just transactions, they’re a lifeline. As we expand, we remain focused on creating a trusted financial gateway that serves every Filipino from around the world."

Operating under the regulatory oversight of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), Banco de España, and Bank of Canada, BCRemit remains committed to maintaining the highest standards of compliance to serving over 10.8 million overseas Filipinos across the world with seamless, secure financial services made by Filipinos, for Filipinos.

Bitget Champions Women Shaping Education-First Web3 Growth in the Philippines

 Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), highlighted the growing impact of women-led Web3 education and advocacy in the Philippines through its flagship women-in-blockchain initiative, Blockchain4Her. The initiative supports women who are advancing blockchain literacy, community access, and responsible participation across emerging digital economies.

Blockchain4Her is designed to elevate and empower women in blockchain through education-first programs, grassroots partnerships, and community-led advocacy. By focusing on access, knowledge, and long-term inclusion, the initiative aims to close the gender gap in Web3 and create pathways for women to participate as builders, educators, and decision-makers.

In the Philippines, a market shaped by strong grassroots adoption and a rapidly expanding digital economy, Blockchain4Her has supported women working at the intersection of education, community-building, and responsible innovation. Advocates, including Bea Llana, Arshelene “Tita Arsh” Lingao, and MaryWave (Wave3), have emerged as leading voices helping women and young people approach Web3 with clarity, structure, and purpose.

Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget, sharing about Blockchain4Her in a Bitget event

“We started Blockchain4Her to create a safe space and build confidence for women to imagine a future in Web3,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget and initiator of Blockchain4Her. “Seeing women in the Philippines take ownership of education and community-building shows what inclusion looks like when it begins at the grassroots level.”

Across their work, the advocates share a common focus on education over speculation and long-term understanding over short-term participation. Llana, a Southeast Asia–based ecosystem builder and co-founder of Buhayin, has worked to translate blockchain and emerging technologies into practical opportunities for local communities, particularly through education and connectivity initiatives in underserved island regions.

“There wasn’t one defining moment,” Llana said. “But working closely with communities showed how thoughtfully applied blockchain technology can support access and participation. That’s when curiosity became intention.”

Education has also been central to the work of Arshelene “Tita Arsh” Lingao, founder of Cryptita Plays, who has focused on improving Web3 literacy among Filipino youth and underserved communities. Alongside Bitget's other CSR initiative, Blockchain4Youth, she developed the Young Learners’ Encyclopedia, an accessible resource designed to introduce blockchain concepts in a clear and age-appropriate way.

“Too many young people enter crypto without honest guidance,” Lingao said. “Education helps them see Web3 as a space for learning and creativity, not hype.”

MaryWave, also known as Wave3, has addressed similar gaps in the trading space by building education-driven communities centered on market structure, discipline, and risk awareness. As co-founder of Wave3, she has focused on creating environments where women and beginners can learn without pressure or misinformation.

“What was missing was structure and honest education,” MaryWave said. “When people understand the market, confidence replaces fear.”

Through Blockchain4Her, Bitget continues to support women-led initiatives that emphasize responsible learning, long-term empowerment, and inclusive participation in Web3. In markets like the Philippines, where community-driven education plays a critical role, the initiative aims to ensure that women are equipped with knowledge beyond hype, as they explore opportunities in web3. This approach aligns with Bitget’s global education initiatives with UNICEF, which aim to expand access to digital skills and blockchain education for young people and underserved communities worldwide.
