BDO makes Tuesdays extra special for Overseas Filipinos and their families
“Yay, Tuesday na!”
Every first Tuesday of the month, the daughter of a former Overseas Filipino Roselle Padua would eagerly announce this to her family, already planning her day. For the teenager, the seemingly ordinary day has become special.
Thanks to BDO’s Kabayan First Tuesday promo, she enjoys a 10% discount at SM Supermalls---whether for shopping, watching movies, or bowling with her friends. This exclusive discount is available to Overseas Filipinos and their loved ones every first Tuesday of the month at SM Store, SM Appliance, SM Cinema, SM Bowling, Watsons, and Miniso until December 2, 2025. All they must do is present their Kabayan ATM card or passbook, BDO Pay digital card, or remittance payment slip at the counter.
Moments made better with BDO
For Roselle, a BDO Kabayan Savings account holder, the promo has become more than a discount---it’s a way to connect with her family. “Kabayan account ang pinapagamit ko sa anak ko, at doon ko nilalagay ang allowance niya. Timing talaga na Tuesday siya pumupunta sa mall kasama ng mga classmates niya,” Roselle shares.
One reason she decided to sign up her entire family for BDO Kabayan Savings is that it has no maintaining balance, while the minimum initial deposit is only P100. For that amount, Kabayans get access to formal savings, safe remittances, and ease of availing loans and investments---unparalleled convenience and security that comes from the country’s trusted bank.
Kabayan First Tuesday is part of BDO’s Alagang Kabayan brand of service, where BDO goes the extra mile to make Overseas Pinoys and their families feel cared for even beyond remittances.
“We understand that being away from family is one of the biggest sacrifices of our Overseas Filipinos. That’s why we strive to make Kabayan Tuesday an opportunity for them to share joy with their loved ones, even from miles away. Whether they’re sending remittances or enjoying exclusive rewards, we want them to feel the warmth of home because iba talaga ang Alagang Kabayans,” says Genie T. Gloria, BDO Senior Vice President and Head of Remittance.
“We are honored to join BDO in giving Overseas Filipinos a rewarding experience beyond remittance,” says SM Supermalls Executive Vice President for Marketing Jonjon San Agustin. “Through Kabayan First Tuesday, we hope they feel the happiness only home can bring, whether they’re enjoying a movie with family, shopping for gifts, or simply creating memories at SM.”
With initiatives like Kabayan First Tuesday, Overseas Filipinos and their families have fulfilling moments to look forward to, making every sacrifice and hard work worth it.
