WeChat Closes the Miles Between OFWs and their Families; Offers New Ways of Connecting Loved Ones Online

The new way to stay connected!

FREE Messaging, FREE Video calls and more

WeChat, an innovative mobile social communication app with 300 million registered users accounts worldwide, today announced that it has succeeded in becoming one the most downloaded mobile social app in the top global destinations for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), according to the latest statistics from market intelligence and mobile applications analytics provider AppAnnie. Likely due to the intense need of Filipinos to stay in touch with their families in the Philippines, WeChat was among the top  downloads in eight of the top 10 markets with the highest populations of Filipino overseas workers, including Malaysia, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar

The Philippines has branded overseas workers as the new heroes of the country or ‘Bagong Bayani’. According to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, over 10 million overseas Filipino workers -- equivalent to a quarter of the country’s labor force -- pumped in over $21 million in 2012. OFW remittances represent 8.5% of GDP, compensate for trade deficits and help the country accumulate over $80 billion in currency reserves. In a recent report from The Economist, the significant financial contributions of OFWs have been the sole reason for the country’s investment-grade credit rating upgrade recently made by Fitch – a first in the country’s history.

Mother's day treats to enjoy today! Happy Mother's Day from Manila Life

It's Mother's day! Oh my it's time to panic, somehow forget the date, rush out to buy trinkets – all to honor the most important woman in our lives. It’s not your anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or her birthday. It’s Mother’s Day. To make it easy, here are tips and suggestions on what these very special women deserve.

 

All women love shoes – especially moms. From sky-high heels to flattering flats, there’s a pair to match every mother’s fantasy. If it’s comfort and style they are after, go for a pair of Crocs Beach Line Boat Shoes. They are so light, they float – just like mom’s home-made desserts. Want something more convenient? Get her a pair of rollable shoes like Butterfly Twists, which are sturdy enough to accompany her from day to night.

They say the way to a mom’s heart is through her stomach. Oh, was it originally through a man’s heart? Well, it works with moms too. Show your love and spoil her a more than a dozen times over with Dunkin’ Donuts’ Premium selection. With 18 donuts to choose from, there’s more than enough to share with her – and all the moms in your life too. Care to treat her out for a day of comfort eating? Then Ma Maison is the perfect restaurant for her. The name means “My Home” in French – and what better location to show your love than the in the place where she reigns – at home.

Want the ultimate gift that will ensure your status as her favorite child? Then throw out her old TV – the one where she watches her favorite soaps – and replace it with one from the new Sony BRAVIA lineup. Watching her favorite cooking shows, reality competitions, and telenovelas has never been more real with the TRILUMINOS™ technology showing colors in their full glory.

Still stuck for an idea? Then just drink to the woman that made you into the person you are today. The perfect drink? Tanduay Ice Light. Pomelo for you and Peach for her, cheers to all mothers, and a very happy mother’s day!  Other Mother's day treats you might want to spend with your Mom!
