On July 2, 2024, Cebu Pacific (CEB) announced a groundbreaking agreement with Airbus to acquire up to 152 A321neo aircraft, a deal valued at US$24 billion (PHP 1.4 trillion) at list prices. This represents the largest aircraft order in the history of Philippine aviation.

Following this monumental agreement, CEB is set to further expand its network across key hubs in Manila, Clark, and Cebu.

Dating in the digital age has become easier with so many apps and services to choose from. By the end of 2023, it was reported that 441 million people were using dating apps actively, generating around $8.7 billion in revenues globally through matchmaking services.

The appeal of dating apps is that you’re not limited by geography. You can meet people online in your city or in another country; you get to see how they look like from their profiles; find out their interests; and if you begin chatting, you can judge if you’re compatible enough to go on a first date.

Many Filipinos have fallen victim to romance scams, among other fakery proliferating online. Now there’s a Facebook page that crowdsources information and experiences so that you can be more aware about scams. Called Online Alerto, it’s a Facebook community page dedicated to the dissemination of invaluable insights, resources, and strategies related to digital literacy, cybersecurity, and responsible online behavior.

Acting as a collaborative platform, it facilitates members in validating their online purchases and transactions while fostering an environment where personal experiences are exchanged to help enhance online safety and awareness among all members. Online Alerto is absolutely free—all you need to do is join the community page to raise your own awareness about cybercrime.

While identity theft and hacking are the leading cybercrimes globally, love scams are rapidly on the rise. In Southeast Asia, these crimes have two victims: those deceived by the scam and those that are trafficked into doing the scams.

Online Alerto has pooled resources on the internet for warnings and tips on avoiding love scams.

Avoid these red flags

• The person expresses strong emotions and love for you very quickly, often within days or weeks of initial contact.
• They quickly ask you to leave a dating service or social media site to communicate directly on WhatsApp or SMS, where they can manipulate you more easily.
• If an individual attempts to isolate you from friends and family or requests inappropriate photos or financial information, they could later blackmail you or extort money from you.
• When you make plans to meet in person, they always come up with an excuse why they can’t.
• They ask for money for various reasons such as travel expenses, medical emergencies, or business opportunities. This is often the biggest and most obvious red flag.
• They tell you stories to elicit sympathy, such as being widowed, having a sick child, or facing some urgent crisis.
• They ask you many personal questions, but they avoid sharing their personal details or give information that cannot be verified such as a home address or workplace.
