Did you know that you can send aguinaldo to your inaanak (or even to your special friends) this Christmas? This is made easier with PayMaya’s partnership with Facebook. While prayers and thoughts of love and affection are among the best gestures this Christmas, giving something to buy tangible gifts can definitely put a smile to their faces.
Aguinaldo has always been part of the Filipino tradition during Christmas. I remember when my ninong used to give me PhP100 when I was young. “Here’s something for you to buy your favorite Marvel cards,” he said. It’s one of those times that made my Christmas like no other.
With PayMaya’s “Promos and gifts” via Facebook Messenger, the Filipino Christmas tradition sticks around, enabled by a technology most of us are used to.
