For Filipinos, resourcefulness is second nature. When appliances start acting up, they don’t give up on them right away — they bang, DIY, or sun-dry their way around the problem. If it still works, it still works. Tapping into this cultural truth, Skyro — one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the Philippines — partnered with GIGIL Philippines to further strengthen its nationwide presence. Most recently, it introduced its first-ever brand endorser: award-winning actor Dennis Trillo. In this comedic film series, Dennis stars as himself, facing off with aging home appliances. When his washing machine breaks down, he climbs in to spin his clothes manually. When his microwave stops working, he takes his lunch outside and spins the bowl under the heat of the sun. In one hilariously absurd scene, when his phone flashes a “memory full” notification, Dennis dramatically inserts the device into his temple, as if upgrading it with his own brain’s storage.
