Here’s how to make your online Christmas shopping safer

This year’s holiday season is definitely not like the ones that came before. Due to the current situation brought about by COVID-19, many things have changed.

One big change is the way we have to do our Christmas shopping. For now, gone are the days of spending time in the malls to check off gifts from our Christmas lists. It’s now easier and physically safer to do our gift-shopping online through the various popular e-commerce sites.

But while shopping in person has its risks, that doesn’t mean online shopping is not without its own as well. The dangers of online bank fraud are still all too real. Shoppers should stay alert, especially over the holidays, when bonuses make it more tempting for fraudsters to hit unsuspecting people.

To keep your accounts safe this Christmas, EastWest’s Chief Information Security & Data Protection Officer, Joey A. Regala, has five tips you should follow:

Nob Hill’s modern minimalism at Tagaytay Highlands

 

No other trend has proved to be a lasting legacy than the beauty of minimalism. As most remain holed up in their homes, unable to relish the indulgences we used to take for granted, we realize all the more that the key to survival (and happiness, even) in these trying times is realizing what is most essential. 

The minimalist movement has been highly influential in corporate architecture and product design since 2010. Minimalist architecture favors neutral palettes of brown, beige, white, and gray; clean straight lines; well-defined rectangular shapes; long and wide eaves; and design that lets natural light in. This has also been dubbed the millennial aesthetic: simple and orderly, yet classy. 

AIA PHILAM LIFE: Protectiing Filipinos In Just 20 Minutes

In today’s busy, fast-paced and ever-changing world, we tend to pack our schedule to fit  everything we need to do in a day. Everything has to be done rapidly, giving birth to quickie versions of everything like 5-minute workouts and 30-minute meals.

Fortunately, AIA Philam Life, the country's premiere life insurance company, has adapted to this lifestyle and now has a platform that can provide customers a way to protect themselves and their families under the same time it takes to buy coffee and finish it before it gets cold—all within the comforts of their own home.
