Summer’s here, and Heart Evangelista is showing the public how to make the most of it. As the new face of GCash’s summer campaign, the global fashion and lifestyle icon shares her dream getaways, favorite travel tips, and go-to payment hacks for a fun, stress-free season.
“Summers are always so special to me. Ever since I was a kid, it’s the season I look forward to the most because summer basically meant traveling and making new memories,” she shares.
After conquering Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks, Heart shares that her dream summer spot is close to home—Japan. “I love it this season,” she says, recalling special trips with her husband, kids, and sisters.
Her ideal Tokyo day? Sushi in Omotesando, coffee at a cozy café, hours of vintage designer shopping, a Don Quijote spree, and ending with convenience store snacks. “Just thinking about it gets me excited!” she says.
As a frequent traveler, Heart has her pre-trip routine down to a science. She plans outfits and budgets in advance, even setting aside travel funds on her GCash account. “I’m better at budgeting now,” she shares, using her GCash Card for better spending control and convenience.
In GCash’s new film, Heart takes viewers on a dreamy summer journey—shopping in Japan one moment, sipping a mango shake in Boracay the next—all with her GCash Card in hand.
Heart shares a travel story that proved just how convenient GCash is. While shopping at an airport abroad, she found a lipstick her friend had been searching for. Even though it was late in Manila, her friend sent money through GCash instantly, and Heart paid using her GCash Card—with a great exchange rate, too.
She adds that her team also relies on the GCash Card for everything while traveling—rides, food, shopping, and more. Heart encourages users to explore GCash’s full features, like ATM withdrawals and smooth card payments abroad. “The GCash Card is my go-to—it’s low-cost, hassle-free, and totally life-changing,” she says.
GCash’s GlobalPay feature makes spending abroad even easier by letting users pay via QR at select stores—and even enjoy perks like 10-percent off in Japan until April 30, 2025.
Heart also swears by GInsure, calling travel insurance a must. With GInsure, one can quickly buy coverage for things like cancellations, lost baggage, delays, and emergencies—starting at just P350, with up to P2.5 million in coverage.
Her final advice for a memorable summer? Be present. “You saved up and planned for this—enjoy it. Take photos, eat well, shop a little, and treat yourself with GCash!”
Like Heart, anyone can enjoy their dream summer with GCash. Whether you’re off on an adventure, enjoying a staycation, or shopping for summer must-haves, GCash has you covered—from cashless payments and travel perks to insurance and flexible payment options like GGives.
