How to apply for the new MySSS Card

The days of the UMID card may soon be over as the Social Security System (SSS) launched the new MySSS card. MySSS Card is a big upgrade to the UMID. Why? Well, apart from being an official SSS ID, it also works as a debit card, thanks to the built-in EMV chip. You can use the MySSS Card directly at a partner bank’s ATM to instantly withdraw SSS benefits, loans, and other proceeds. No need to do a separate enrollment process under the Disbursement Account Enrollment Module (DAEM). SSS teamed up with RCBC DiskarTech for the initial rollout of the service. UnionBank, China Bank, and AUB are expected to join soon. However, SSS noted that government agencies and private institutions are not mandated to accept the new MySSS card as an official ID. Your old UMID or any issued SSS cards are still valid, so you might want to keep them. You’re eligible for the new MySSS card if you’re a: member, prior registrant, pensioner, individual claimant, and representative payee who will p...

Travereel launches AI assistant to take the stress out of vacation planning

Travereel-2

A Filipino-owned travel platform is rolling out a new artificial intelligence tool that it hopes will cure what it calls “planning paralysis” for travelers overwhelmed by too many online options.

Travereel, which describes itself as the country’s first video-centric travel social network and booking app, has officially launched Vicky. The company is calling the feature an “AI Travel AI-gent,” designed to help users discover destinations, build itineraries, and book trips all in one place.

The app combines a short-form video feed similar to other social platforms with a new AI Itinerary Builder. The idea is to let users move from watching a travel vlog to having a customized, multi-day schedule in just a few seconds. Vicky works by analyzing user preferences, budget limits, and trending spots within the Travereel community to generate daily plans. These can include hidden gems and local favorites, with the option to book featured hotels and activities directly through the itinerary.

The Travereel app is also adding features aimed at group travel. A new built-in group chat lets friends vote on destinations and finalize plans together. An integrated split billing feature helps groups divide costs for things like hotels, activities, and even pasalubong transparently, so the focus stays on the trip itself.

For content creators, the platform continues its affiliate marketing program. Users who book a stay or activity through a creator’s video, or through a Vicky itinerary inspired by that video, generate a commission for the creator.

Travereel

The Travereel app is available for download on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store. First-time users will receive a Php250 voucher for their initial booking.
