The Truths About Cafe Culture & Running a Coffee Business

 How these two coffee shop owners in Baguio are scaling their stores with GCash for Business

If there’s one thing that hasn’t slowed down over the years, it’s cafe culture. In fact, it’s only grown stronger. The Philippine foodservice sector continues to grow - projected to rise by 10% in 2026 according to the USDA - and one major contributor is small businesses like coffee shops entering this space. But behind the stylish interiors, busy queues, and creative menus lies a reality many don’t talk about enough: the pressure to operate efficiently. 

For Archie Villamor and his team at Honey Bakes Café Baguio, it’s about finding ways to simplify and automate tasks that would otherwise be too time-consuming manual processes. For Cynthia Tiplady, franchise owner of Chambee Ace Café Baguio, it’s about overcoming delays, especially during peak hours. 

As a result, both business owners began using solutions from GCash for Business. From accepting payments to tracking sales, these tools set them up on the path to their easy era as business owners: fewer inefficiencies and more time to focus on what matters most. 

When manual systems can’t keep up

Many coffee shop owners focus on getting their products right, but what often gets overlooked is the operational side that keeps everything running smoothly.

“Before, we simply had a system of manually tracking cash flow and recording expenses daily. Each month, we summed up sales to determine if we had a positive net income,” Archie shares. But soon, manual tracking became harder to sustain. Now, as a merchant partner of GCash for Business, Archie and his team have access to the GCash for Business portal that lets them track and manage transactions in one place. It has no wallet limit for receiving cashless payments and no transaction fees when paying suppliers. Previously, manual processes can now be automated through this centralized dashboard, saving time for the whole staff.

Finding ways to transact more efficiently

At Chambee Ace Café, one of Cynthia’s priorities quickly became keeping transactions as smooth as possible, especially during peak hours. Setting up shop in the country’s summer capital comes with a wide mix of customers, such as big groups of tourists ordering in bulk or students and office workers in a rush. Small delays, like manually verifying online transfers, slow their operations.

“Before, we were using a mix of payment methods like bank transfers, QR codes, GCash, and cash,” she shares. Having to manage all of this, they needed a solution fast. For a long time, solutions like enterprise-grade POS terminals were largely accessible only to bigger businesses. 

Today, GCash for Business is changing that with the new GCash EasyPOS, an innovation that allows businesses to accept all payments that customers look for – such as either through scan QR or card payments – all in one device. It also prints receipts instantly, easing the process. Merchants can also manage transactions, refunds, and reconciliation directly on the terminal.

Meanwhile, at Honey Bakes, Archie and his staff have also adapted the new GCash SoundPay Plus. This all-in-one, affordable payment device enables merchants to accept QR, card, and tap-to-pay (NFC) transactions in a single device. It provides real-time voice confirmation, helping both staff and customers confirm payments instantly, helping speed up transactions during busy hours, and allows them to focus on more important aspects of their operations – introducing their offerings to their customers, answering inquiries, and making sure things are running smoothly. 

“Using GCash SoundPay Plus has sped up the long queues in our store. It has just made everything more convenient, secure, and overall easier for both our customers and our staff,” Archie says.

As more people seek memorable coffee shop experiences, businesses continue to look for ways to meet the changing needs of customers, so they can focus on their customers and grow their business.

Be among the first to adapt the new GCash EasyPOS and GCash SoundPay Plus, the newest payment solutions from GCash for Business. To get started, simply create an account on the GCash for Business Portal. Start as an official GCash merchant using just your verified GCash account of at least 12 months to qualify for a Starter Plan. Order your desired device, then wait for email confirmation and your delivery details.

PLDT Enterprise Bolsters Regional Network Through Partnership with Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp.

PLDT Enterprise continues to reinforce its regional presence across the Philippines through its long-standing partnership with Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp., supporting the cable operator’s growth and enabling reliable digital services for subscribers across Siquijor Island.

The collaboration highlights how enterprise-grade connectivity can help regional service providers overcome geographic limitations, expand operations, and deliver stable digital services in island communities.

 

A Commitment to Supporting Cable Operators Nationwide

 

PLDT Enterprise remains committed to supporting cable operators and regional connectivity providers across the country. By delivering dedicated internet and Ethernet transport solutions, PLDT Enterprise helps improve network performance, expand service coverage, support digital transformation initiatives, and enable enterprise-grade data transport.

 

“Through our continued, growing, and evolving partnership with Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp., we demonstrate how PLDT Enterprise supports regional providers with scalable connectivity solutions that enable growth and service reliability,” said Ma. Hazel Amoyan, Customer Relationship Management Head – Visayas, PLDT Enterprise. “We remain committed to helping businesses across the regions operate efficiently and deliver consistent digital services to their communities.”

 

Representatives from PLDT Enterprise and Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp. strengthen their long-standing partnership to enhance connectivity and digital access across Siquijor Island.

 

Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp. is a regional cable service provider delivering television and digital connectivity services to residents and businesses throughout Siquijor Island. The company has steadily expanded its subscriber base and infrastructure capabilities through continuous technology upgrades and strategic partnerships.

 

Addressing Geographic and Operational Challenges

 

Operating in an island province presents unique connectivity challenges. Limited infrastructure options, complex deployment environments, and increasing subscriber demand required scalable, high-capacity solutions to maintain service quality.

 

PLDT Enterprise began its partnership with Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp. in 2016 when the company subscribed to an iGate leased line. At the time, connectivity relied on Smart’s Base Transceiver Station (BTS) infrastructure to serve the island location.

 

As subscriber demand grew, the partnership evolved. With PLDT’s fiber rollout to Siquijor in 2022, the client gained access to higher-capacity connectivity and improved reliability. Today, Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp. subscribes to iGate Premium service and this year, it successfully deployed a Metro E-Line transport service connecting Siquijor to its mainland content source.

 

From Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp.’s Raul Villaver, President and CEO, shared that the collaboration has played a key role in the company’s expansion. “Our partnership with PLDT Enterprise has allowed us to upgrade our infrastructure as our subscriber base continues to grow. With improved capacity and stability, we are better equipped to deliver reliable digital television, broadband, and data services to customers across Siquijor Island.”

 

Enabling High-Capacity Content Delivery and Operational Continuity

 

The newly deployed Metro E-Line transport service enables high-capacity content delivery between Siquijor and mainland source infrastructure. This supports seamless transmission of high-bandwidth content such as HD channels, streaming services, and data-intensive applications.

 

Representatives from PLDT Enterprise and Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp. strengthen their long-standing partnership to enhance connectivity and digital access across Siquijor Island.

 

The upgraded infrastructure improves network stability and service reliability for subscribers across Siquijor Island while strengthening operational continuity through enterprise-grade infrastructure designed for carrier-level uptime.

 

With scalable infrastructure in place, Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp. has been able to continuously expand its subscriber base without network performance limitations.

 

As regional connectivity demands continue to increase, the partnership between PLDT Enterprise and Siquijor Island Cable TV Systems Corp. reflects a shared commitment to resilience, scalability, and long-term growth—strengthening digital access across island communities and reinforcing PLDT Enterprise’s presence across the Philippines.

Celebrating our idols in real life: Palawan Group and JCI Senate Philippines to reward deserving kasambahays anew with Kasambahay, Kasambuhay Awards 2026

  In time for Araw ng Kagitingan, the Kasambahay, Kasambuhay Awards 2026 returned to honor these unsung heroes, the tunay na idol sa buhay. 

When we speak of modern-day heroes, what often comes to mind are the OFWs and medical frontliners. However, ordinary Filipinos who demonstrate resilience in the face of life’s challenges can also be considered heroes. Among them are our kasambahays. More than helpers, they are pillars of strength. They “hold the fort” so we can pursue our own goals, and they dedicate their time, effort, and heart to families while being away from their own. As idols in real life who offer unwavering service and sacrifice, they also rightfully deserve to be recognized.

Aptly timed near the celebration of Araw ng Kagitingan, Palawan Group of Companies and JCI Senate Philippines reaffirm their commitment to honoring our unsung heroes with the rollout of its Kasambahay, Kasambuhay Awards 2026. Together, the partnership continues to champion and uplift the lives of our kasama sa buhay.

Now in its 11th year, the Kasambuhay, Kasambahay Awards 2026 will shine the spotlight on the inspiring stories of kasambahays: their selflessness, passion, and the real-life accounts that prove they are indeed the tunay na idol sa buhay. 

Palawan Group of Companies marked 11 years of honoring kasambahays, recognizing them as the quiet heroes and true sandigan of Filipino families, as it continues its mission of uplifting lives through service that goes beyond transactions.

“For the past 10 years, this program has been our way of honoring the quiet heroes of Filipino homes. As we commence its 11th year, we seek to continue honoring the kasambahays who serve with unwavering dedication, loyalty, and care. Sila po ang tunay na sandigan ng maraming pamilya,” shared Karlo M. Castro, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Palawan Group of Companies. 

“More importantly, here at the Palawan Group, we believe that true service goes beyond transactions. It is about uplifting lives, creating opportunities, and standing by Filipinos through every stage of their journey. This is how we remain matatag, maaasahan, at mapagkakatiwalaan,” Castro added.

JCI Senator Rosalind Ngo, expressed gratitude to Palawan Group and reaffirmed its commitment to empowering communities by honoring kasambahays as true partners in building and caring for Filipino families.

JCI Senate Philippines, represented by JCI Senator Rosalind Ngo, who also serves as the National Chairman for this year’s awards, delivered an inspiring message expressing commitment and gratitude for Palawan Group’s unending support, sharing that the initiative aligns with the JCI Senate’s mission to empower local communities and support national development through strategic partnerships, charity projects, advocacy for social causes.

“Ang kasambahay ay hindi lang tumutulong sa ating mga bahay. Sila ay katuwang sa pagbuo ng ating mga pamilya. Lalo na at ngayon ay kailangan ng mga magulang na magkaroon ng trabaho. So ang ating mga anak ay laging naiiwan sa kanila at sila ay katuwang natin sa buhay. Kaya naman, inaanyayahan namin ang lahat na tulungan ninyo kami. Hanapin natin ang mga kasambahay ang kanilang mga kwento at katapat na pagmamahal,” shared Ngo.

The search is on for our idols in real life

Rebecca Badayos, Marketing Manager for Palawan Credit and PGC Corporate Social Responsibility, introduced the mechanics for this year’s search.

Call for entries will officially begin on April 1, 2026, and continue until August 3, 2026. Interested participants may nominate themselves or be nominated by others. 

A new feature this year is that submissions will now be accepted through the PalawanPay app. First, participants must register via the app, click on the Idol in Real Life banner to sign up, and submit the form.

The committee will then screen and select 10 grand finalists out of thousands of entries, who will ultimately be hailed as the Kasamabahay, Kasambuhay Award winners  to be announced on December 7, 2026.

Over the years, both the prizes and the number of winners have increased. This year, 10 grand winners will receive ₱100,000 cash and a TESDA scholarship, not only to recognize their contributions but also to empower them to upskill, pursue their passions, and build better opportunities for themselves and their families.

Additionally, 20 kasambahays will receive ₱10,000 cash as a special award, and all deserving winners will be recognized as tunay na “Idol in Real Life”.

“To our nominees and future awardees: this celebration is for you. Ang kuwento ng inyong buhay ay karapat-dapat na ipagmalaki at kapulutan ng inspirasyon. Kayo ang aming Idol in real life!” expressed Bernard Kaibigan, Palawan Group Chief Marketing Officer.

The Founder and Chairman of the Palawan Group of Companies, Bobby L. Castro, also expressed high hopes for this year’s awards: “For many years, our partnership with JCI Senate Philippines has been built on a shared purpose: to recognize and uplift the lives of everyday Filipinos who make a meaningful difference in our communities.”

“Through the Kasambahay Kasambuhay Awards, we have created more than just a recognition program. Together, we have built a platform that gives voice to the quiet heroes of our homes and affirms their dignity, hard work, and invaluable contribution to Filipino families,” he added.

As the Kasambahay Kasambuhay Awards 2026 opens its doors once again, it continues a tradition of honoring dedication, sacrifice, and quiet heroism found within Filipino homes. Beyond recognition, the program stands as a reminder that the everyday acts of care, loyalty, and service from our kasambahays are invaluable threads that strengthen families and communities. 

This shared initiative of Palawan Group of Companies and JCI Senate Philippines transforms each story into a testament of resilience and humanity, proving that true heroes are not only those who stand in the spotlight but are also those who quietly support and uplift others from behind the scenes. By celebrating them, we also embrace the spirit of compassion, dignity, and gratitude that defines a true Filipino.

Goodday Takes Over the Season with Its ‘Summer All’ Campaign

When you look at your socials during the summer, blink, and your feed is already packed with beach sunsets, island-hopping clips, and out-of-town escapes that look straight out of a travel vlog. It’s the season of getaways, and as the posts keep coming, it’s hard not to pause and think, “Sana all!” 

But summer doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s highlight reel. While some are off chasing waves, others are finding joy right where they are—spending the season in the city, discovering simple pleasures, and creating their own kind of fun. It’s a reminder that summer can be just as meaningful and memorable, even in everyday moments.

The season can manifest itself in many different moments, big or small. This can show up in small pauses in between busy days, where you just go for a walk or go on a quick merienda break. This can also be those fun little after-office hangouts that stretch into the evening, or basking in the sunset during golden hour, just as the city starts to slow down. 

Summer is not just a season of fun and excitement; it’s also a season of relaxation and a great time to meditate, reflect, and rest in the midst of busy months and seasons. 

These small moments—unplanned, everyday, and shared—are where summer truly lives.

This season, Goodday invites Filipinos to rediscover that feeling through its “Summer All” campaign, a celebration of the idea that summer isn’t a destination. It’s a vibe you can find wherever you are.

When it comes to helping you make summer truly yours, Goodday helps you stay ready for the spontaneous and simple shared summer moments. Together with Cloud 7, its ambassadors, Goodday brings “Summer All” to life by cherishing the little moments that turn the season into something memorable. Whether you’re out exploring, unwinding after a long day, or simply enjoying a quick pause, you can own summer in your own way.

Summer is all about unwinding and feeling refreshed, and every sip should match that vibe. With its cool, fizzy burst, it’s like being transported to the beach, soaking up the sun, and letting your worries drift away.

It’s also the perfect companion for all kinds of summer moments, whether you’re cooling down after a busy day at work with your officemates, taking in the golden hour view, or relaxing after a spontaneous weekend adventure.

However you choose to enjoy it, Goodday is there to remind you of those fun, carefree summer celebrations, and that refreshing feeling of a tropical escape, anytime you need it.

With every sip of Goodday, which contains paraprobiotics for immunity support, ensures that you stay healthy during the warm seasons and enjoy your summer moments hassle-free. Whether it be a quick sip during a summer adventure or as your drink of choice after a meal, Goodday helps you stay refreshed. 

Sometimes, summer isn’t about relaxing vacations and exciting getaways; it’s knowing that summer can be experienced and celebrated even in the simplest of moments. 

Find out more about how you can celebrate Summer All with Goodday via Facebook and share the enjoyment with your buddies.

Sustainable Steals at Watsons Earth Week Sale from April 18-22

As conversations around sustainability continue to grow, many consumers are becoming more intentional in their everyday choices, from the products they use to the impact they leave behind. But for some, the shift toward greener living can still feel overwhelming, often perceived as expensive, inconvenient, or difficult to maintain.

This Earth Month, Watsons is making that transition easier. They invite customers to shop more consciously, balancing sustainability with smart spending, and turning everyday purchases into more intentional choices. By offering exclusive deals on their wide range of sustainable products and brands, they empower their customers to make better choices for themselves and the planet. With curated offers under its Sustainable Choices category, Watsons makes it easier than ever for shoppers to find options that align with their values across beauty, personal care, and wellness.

Running from April 18–22, shoppers can enjoy Buy 1 Get 1, Up to 50% Off on participating sustainable choices products from brands such as Watsons Naturals, Oxecure, Garnier, Aveeno, Nivea, Neutrogena, Glamworks, Luxe Organix, and more, available in stores and online via the Watsons app.

More than just a sale, the Earth Week Sale is designed to encourage simple yet meaningful changes in everyday routines. From refillable beauty essentials and products with reduced packaging to consciously formulated personal care items, Watsons offers accessible options for those looking to begin or continue making more mindful choices—making it easier for shoppers to switch across every step of their routine. Refilling, in particular, is one of the easiest ways to make a difference—helping reduce plastic use by up to 80% compared to regular bottles, while offering better value for money. It’s a simple switch that delivers both environmental impact and better value, making it easier to get more for less.

By making these products more visible and more affordable, Watsons helps bridge the gap between intention and action. What may seem like small swaps, such as choosing a refill pack or opting for more responsibly sourced products, can collectively lead to a more meaningful environmental impact. With promotions across these product lines, making the sustainable choice becomes not just easier but more rewarding.

“Sustainability doesn’t have to mean changing everything at once; it can start with simple switches, like choosing refill packs for the products you already love. Through our Earth Week Sale, we aim to make these options more accessible by offering better value and greater convenience, while helping reduce plastic waste. It’s about making sustainable living a practical and achievable choice for our customers,” said Danilo Chiong, Managing Director of Watsons Philippines.

The Smart Saver’s Guide to Surviving Rising Prices

At this point, checking prices before buying anything is already a must. One minute you’re grabbing your usual coffee, the next you’re doing mental math like, “Wait… has this always been this expensive?” Between rising gas prices, pricier groceries, and everything in between, it’s getting harder to pretend your budget hasn’t changed.

Now more than ever, it helps to be more intentional with how your money moves—because even small shifts can add up over time.

Here’s what that can look like:

Know your “default gastos”

Everyone has a baseline: your usual transport, food, subscriptions. The tricky part is these are also the ones that quietly go up. Taking a closer look at your weekly spend makes it easier to spot where your money is actually going, and where small adjustments can make a difference.

From there, it’s not just about cutting back, but spending smarter. Using tools that give something back like cashback or fuel discounts can help offset rising costs without needing to sacrifice as much. 

For example for fuel expenses, using your Maya Debit Card can get you 5% cashback with a minimum spend of ₱500, capped at ₱300, a small but practical way to ease rising gas costs. 

If you’re using the Landers Cashback Everywhere Credit Card, you can earn 1% cashback at Landers Caltex branches, plus up to 5% cashback at Landers Superstore, 2% on dining, and 1% on other transactions.

Even your regular purchases can stretch a little further. With the Maya Black Credit Card, your accumulated Maya Miles can unlock up to ₱1,500 worth of Pricelocq fuel vouchers in the app’s ‘Rewards’ catalogue, an easy way to turn routine spending into something more useful.

Because when it comes to rising prices, the goal isn’t just to spend less, it’s to make every peso go a little further.

If your money’s just sitting there, you’re losing a bit of it

With prices rising, idle money doesn’t stretch as far. That’s why more people are keeping their savings somewhere it can earn in the background, so even when you’re not actively saving more, your money is still doing something. With Maya, the country’s #1 Digital Bank and leading all-in-one fintech platform, you can earn up to 15% interest p.a. on your savings, just by using Maya for your everyday purchases.

Have a “just in case” fund, even a small one

Unexpected gastos hit harder now. A slightly higher grocery bill or a sudden fuel hike can throw things off. Setting aside a small buffer gives you a bit of breathing room.

For short-term needs, having access to something like Maya Easy Credit can help you stay on track without dipping into your savings. It offers a revolving credit line of up to ₱50,000, payable in up to 30 days, helping bridge temporary cash flow gaps while giving you clear visibility into your repayment.

Use extra funds strategically

When you do have extra money, even small amounts, it helps to give it a clear purpose instead of letting it sit or disappear into everyday spending. Some are setting aside funds into goal-based savings, like Maya Personal Goals, where you can create up to five savings targets for things like emergencies, travel, or future plans. Each goal earns 4% interest per annum, with rates increasing the more you save, reaching up to 8% p.a. as you build your balance.

For those who prefer a more structured approach, options like Time Deposit Plus offer a way to lock in funds for a set period—whether 3, 6, or 12 months—earning up to 6% p.a. while keeping your savings untouched. With multiple accounts available, it’s a way to stay disciplined while steadily growing your money in the background.

Most of the time, it’s small tweaks like being more aware of your spending, letting your savings earn quietly in the background, and making smarter choices with everyday expenses, that make things feel more manageable.

At a time when everything feels like it’s getting more expensive, being a “smart saver” isn’t about doing less, it’s about being more aware of your finances. And with the right tools working quietly in the background, it becomes a lot easier to stay on track without overhauling your entire life.
