The holiday season in the Philippines may be filled with grand decorations every year, but it is more so defined by the people that we share it with.
For millions of Filipinos, Christmas is the ultimate season for reunions. It’s a tyme to be together, a time to reconnect with family, catch up with old friends, and gather around the dinner table with officemates. However, for many families, the celebration may also feel incomplete because someone they love is miles away from home.
Understanding that the true heart of Christmas lies in togetherness, GoTyme Bank hosted an intimate Salo Salo Launch Event at Jabroni’s in BGC. The event officially kicked off GoTyme Bank’s campaign, bringing together popular influencers and their loved ones for a warm, casual gathering centered on heartfelt stories about family, friendship, longing, and the excitement of holiday reunions.

Over delicious food and easy conversation, guests at Jabroni’s opened up about the people they miss the most and those they wish could fly home for the holidays. The casual gathering highlighted a tender reality shared by so many Filipinos: while distance can test bonds, the hope of coming home makes Christmas magical.

To make the anticipation even sweeter, GoTyme Bank introduced the Sama-Sama Box, paying homage to the balikbayan box which represents the hard work of filipinos abroad, sent directly to influencers’ homes to celebrate the loved ones they are waiting for.
