Give dad the recognition he deserves with vivo this Father's Day

GMA Network2 days ago

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - vivo, a leading global smartphone brand, is proud to announce a meaningful new initiative just in time for Father's Day. From June 13 to June 15, all participating vivo stores nationwide will host a consumer-centered celebration where they will describe their father.
This campaign reflects vivo's core belief that beyond innovation and technology, the brand has a responsibility to bring people closer and spark real, emotional connections.
With every purchase of a vivo smartphone during the campaign period, customers will receive a free, personalized Father's Day certificate and photo memento, thoughtfully designed and printed on-site, creating a moment of appreciation that goes far beyond the typical retail experience.
'Our goal is to connect with consumers emotionally, not just commercially,' said Ms. Lulu Liu, Brand Marketing Director of vivo Philippines. 'Father's Day is about honoring the heroes in our homes, and we want to make sure each dad feels seen, appreciated, and celebrated."
An Immersive In-Store Experience
Unlike conventional promotions, vivo's Father's Day campaign offers a heartfelt interaction for families. The process is simple but impactful:
Customers can purchase any vivo smartphone from June 13 to 15 at participating stores. They receive a personalized certificate, which includes a space to write a special adjective (e.g., 'strongest,' 'wisest,' 'funniest') and their dad's name. A portrait photo is taken on-site, printed instantly, and affixed to the certificate. Families can then pose with their dads, holding the certificate in a dedicated photo corner inside the store. The experience concludes with a memorable keepsake that customers can take home — a physical reminder of the celebration.
This initiative allows each participant to reflect on their father's qualities and express their gratitude in a tangible, creative way. Whether it's a biological father, grandfather, stepfather, or a father figure, every dad can be recognized in a personal, touching manner.
As a bonus, customers who post their Father's Day moment on social media with hashtags #AwardMyDadwithvivo and #vivoDadinStyle, and tag @vivo_philippines, will receive exclusive giveaways.
Give dad more than a gift this Father's Day
vivo's Father's Day campaign is a testament to vivo's dedication to creating not only best-in-class smartphones but also memorable moments for Filipino families. By transforming a routine purchase into a moment of bonding and gratitude, vivo elevates the retail experience into something deeply personal.
As Father's Day draws near, vivo encourages everyone to take part in this limited-time offer and show appreciation for the father figures who have shaped their world.

Ruffa Gutierrez says she and Herbert Bautista are ‘going through a bump' right now

Ruffa Gutierrez revealed that her relationship with Herbert Bautista is currently experiencing a 'bump' in the road. On Thursday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Ruffa said their currently not talking to each other. 'We're going through a bump right now and we're not speaking. So let's see if that bump will last or we'll speak again. I don't know,' she said. The actress sees this period as a potential opportunity for reflection, saying 'I've been busy also and he has other things that he should take care of as well when it comes to personal matters. So maybe this is also a good time because it's been five years since we first met again on the set of a project that we did. So limang taon, so magandang space 'to para makita natin kung itutuloy ba or ihihinto natin,' she said. Despite the current challenges in their relationship, Ruffa had nothing but kind words for Herbert. 'Even if we're going through a little bump right now, I will treasure our precious moments because he's the one that encouraged me also to study,' she said. 'Marami akong natututunan sa kaniya and for that, I'm very thankful.' In 2022, Ruffa completed her bachelor's degree in Communication Arts from the Philippine Women's University. In her interview, Ruffa clarified that they are not living together. 'I've never lived with a person. Hindi ako naniniwala sa live-in kaya 'yung mga relasyon ko nagtatagal kasi may space, 'di ba? Excited kayo to see each other. Kung everyday, gumigising ka, siya 'yung katabi mo, parang oh my gosh,' she said. Ruffa recalled first meeting Herbert when she was only 13 years old. 'Nakasalamin pa ako, kulot-kulot ang hair ko. Hindi ko siya pinapansin, hindi rin niya ako pinapansin. Wala, dedma. We were just co-stars. And then I remember, when I was 17, binigyan niya ako ng libro. Sabi niya, 'Ito, basahin mo 'tong libro na 'to. Maganda 'yan para 'pag tinanong ka sa Q and A sa Miss World, makakasagot ka.' So ako naman, my gosh, may pictures ba 'to?' When asked if they had talked about marriage, Ruffa answered, 'Marriage is very difficult. I don't know if I'm ready for that step yet. Herbert's also not ready.' Instead, she emphasized the importance of finding a companion. 'I think what's more important rather than discussing marriage is looking for someone that will be your best friend, soulmate, and lifetime partner.' Ruffa first revealed her relationship with Herbert in June 2024. Last month, he finally made it to Ruffa's TikTok account. This is her first known relationship after her marriaged with Turkish businessman Yilmaz Bektas ended. They have two daughters, Lorin and Venice, who are currently in Turkiye with Bektas. Meanwhile, Ruffa is set to star in 'Beauty Empire' with Barbie Forteza and Kyline Alcantara. — Carby Basina/LA, GMA Integrated News

Coming home for his graduation: An OFW mother's promise kept

For many overseas Filipino workers (OFWs), coming home is not just a flight back to the Philippines—it's an emotional journey marked by sacrifice, longing, and love. For Myla dela Cruz, an OFW in Doha, Qatar, her return meant finally fulfilling a promise to the boy who quietly grew up in her absence—her son, Hennessy. After years apart, she flew back not for a vacation, but for a moment she could not bear to miss: his high school graduation. "Ito po 'yung surprise na hindi niya inakala talaga. Hindi ko po siya binigyan ng pagkakataon na isipin niya na uuwi ako sa mismong araw ng graduation niya," Myla said in an interview with GMA Pinoy TV. (This was a surprise he truly didn't see coming. I didn't give him any hint that I would be coming home on his graduation day.) Myla grew up in a large family in Nueva Ecija. None of her seven siblings were able to finish school due to poverty. Amid her hardship, however, Myla found her motivation. "Sa amin pong magkakapatid, wala pong nakatapos. Dahil po sa dala ng kahirapan… pinalaki po kami ng mga magulang namin ng iisang hangarin sa buhay—magtulungan, magmahalan. Sabay-sabay po kami aangat," Myla said. (None of us siblings finished school because of poverty… but our parents raised us with one goal: to help and love one another. We were determined to rise together.) She carried that dream into motherhood, determined to give her own child a better story—one that included diplomas, medals, and applause. Making ends meet Before working abroad, Myla tried to make ends meet through various jobs: she worked as a waitress, a barista at a five-star hotel in Dubai, and later, as a farmhand back home. "Namasukan po ako na mamitas ng talong, ng sili, ng ampalaya… Ang kinikita ko lang po noon, 150 pesos per day," she said. (I worked as a picker of eggplants, chili, and bitter gourd… I only earned 150 pesos a day.) When she gave birth to Hennessy, she stayed with him for as long as she could. As a single mother, she knew that love alone would not secure his future. At just four years old, Myla had to say goodbye to Hennessy, and make the heartbreaking decision to work overseas again. "Sinabi ko po sa magulang ko na ako po ay aalis ulit. Gusto ko pong makilala niya ako—na ako ang ina niya," Myla said. (I told my parents I was leaving again. I wanted him to grow up knowing me—that I am his mother.) 'Mama, umuwi ka na' Life in Qatar offered added financial security, but nothing could compare to the emotional weight of being apart from her son. Myla said, "Minsan sasabihin niya, 'Mama, umuwi ka na. Sama ka na lang dito sa akin.'" (Sometimes he'd say, "Mama, come home. Just stay here with me.") Hennessy, meanwhile, was lovingly raised by his grandparents. He grew up with a heart full of gratitude—traits that made Myla both proud and heartbroken. She said, "Nata-touch ako 'pag sinasabi ng mga kapatid ko, utol, ang suwerte mo kay Bebe.'" (I get emotional when my siblings say, "You're lucky to have Bebe.") Graduation day As graduation day approached, Myla started receiving touching messages from Hennessy for helping him reach his milestone. "Mama, maraming salamat. Kahit wala akong kinagisnang ama, ikaw 'yung tumayo, Papa at Mama para sa akin," Hennessy said. (Mama, thank you. Even though I didn't grow up with a father, you stood as both Papa and Mama for me.) Those words sealed Myla's decision. She booked a ticket home. She didn't even tell her family about her decision. "Pinapangako ko sa'yo, sa senior high school mo—uuwi si Mama. Ako na ang kasama mo," Myla recalled. (I promise you, for your senior high graduation — Mama will come home. I'll be the one by your side.) On graduation day itself, she walked quietly into the school grounds, waited for the right moment, and tapped her son on the back. "Sa sobrang tuwa niya, halo 'yung emotion niya—pagkagulat at 'yung pagiging masaya na si Mama nandito," Myla said. (He was overwhelmed—it was a mix of shock and joy that Mama was here.) That day, Hennessy received awards for Outstanding Leadership, and Outstanding Science Lab Officer. This time, his mother was there to witness him receive the recognition. Reward for sacrifice For Myla, it was not just about medals or ceremonies. It was about showing up—physically, emotionally, fully—for the child who had waited patiently for her love. "Hindi ko man siya palaging kasama, pero lagi akong uuwi sa kanya. Lagi akong babalik," she said. (Even if I'm not always by his side, I will always come home to him. I will always return.) For mothers like Myla, love is not measured by distance or time apart. Instead it is through the moments when love finally arrives—unexpected, unwavering, and just in time. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
