Yassi Pressman has updated her fans on her weight gain program. Her video dancing to Beyonce’s hit “Grown Woman” was captioned: “Currently 127lbs & I've always been 118-120 ever. But whatever. Here's a reminder that it's okay. Don't be hard on yourself when you're not always at your best, just Love yourself, stay on track and get back. (When you're ready)

With this post, Yassi reminded her fans not be too hard on themselves, always love themselves and spread body positivity. Filipino beauty queen Katarina Rodriguez reacted to her post and replied: “Caption is everything.”

Miss Universe Philippines has announced its partnership with SendWave Money Transfer App in the Philippines. Beyond the glitz, glamour, and showstopping performances lies the heart of the competition: advocacy. This is why Sendwave, a fee-free money transfer app with close connections to the communities it serves, is thrilled to be a sponsor of Miss Universe Philippines.

Sendwave, which recently expanded its service in the Philippines, chose to support the service-driven mission of this global pageant by helping Miss Universe Philippines Bea Gomez on her journey to the crown.

“Filipinos are passionate about beauty pageants and love to show support for their contestants — no matter where they are in the world,” said Gazini Ganados, Miss Universe Philippines 2019 and Sendwave brand ambassador. “I’m proud to represent a company that truly cares about the community it serves.”

Sendwave is a money transfer app with a mission to make sending funds to loved ones as easy and affordable as sending a text. Unlike its competitors, Sendwave prides itself on remaining fee-free in the Philippines, as well as most of the markets it operates in.

They saw a need in the Filipino community for a fee-free service with high exchange rates, and they worked quickly to provide that.

“The pandemic revealed a need to shift toward more digital options for sending money,” said Will Fogel, CEO of Sendwave. “We wanted to help address that for the Filipino community and provide them with a more affordable way to send funds to the people they care about.”

Using the app is simple and intuitive. Users can download Sendwave from the App Store or Google Play (look for the friendly little penguin). After entering their information at sign up, they can select the country they wish to send funds to.

From there, users can add a new recipient, select the payout method, and enter the required information for the recipient. After entering the amount they wish to transfer, all they have to do is click the send button, confirm their transaction, and voila! The money is on its way.

Recipients can choose to receive the money through GCash, a bank account (Sendwave can send to over 30 major banks including PNB, BDO, and Metrobank), or opt for a cash pickup at M Lhuillier, Cebuana Lhuillier, Palawan Pawnshop, LBC Express, and more. The recipient will then receive a text notifying them about the cash pickup or Gcash transfer within minutes. For bank transfers, they can check their bank app to verify that the funds have reached the account, typically between one and five hours after it’s been sent.
