Join the Aguinaldo Challenge: Earn Parols and Win Holiday Prizes

November 18, 2025

For Filipinos around the world, Christmas is more than a holiday. It's the season of giving. A time when families share blessings, when godchildren line up for Aguinaldo, and when distance feels just a little smaller.

This year, we're bringing a new way to celebrate that spirit.

Introducing the UniFi Aguinaldo Challenge, a celebration where you can earn Parols (our festive reward points) simply by using UniFi. Every Parol you collect is a chance to win cash prizes up to ₱100,000 (~$1,700 USD).

It's our way of giving back to the community that inspires us.


🎄 What Are Parols?

Parols are your entries to win prizes in the Aguinaldo Challenge. You earn them automatically as you use UniFi. No forms, no codes, no extra steps.

The more you use UniFi, the more Parols you collect. And the more Parols you collect, the more chances you have to win.


✨ How to Earn Parols

You can earn Parols in lots of different ways, whether you're sending money home, supporting family, or simply using your UniFi card on everyday purchases.

One-Time Parols (Earn Once)

  • Open a UniFi account: 1 Parol
  • Fund your account (minimum $20 or ₱1,000): 1 Parol

Earn Parols Again and Again

These actions earn Parols every single time you do them:

  • Send a remittance (minimum $20 or ₱1,000): 1 Parol per transfer
  • Use your UniFi debit card (minimum $20 or ₱1,000): 1 Parol per purchase
  • Send money to another UniFi user (minimum $20 or ₱1,000): 1 Parol per transfer
  • Refer a friend (they must complete account setup): 1 Parol per referral
  • Send a Digital Aguinaldo: 1 Parol for every $10 you send

    Example: Send $45 total → 4 Parols

All Parols earned between January 1, 2025 and January 1, 2026 count toward the challenge.


🎁 Why We Built the Aguinaldo Challenge

Filipinos abroad send money home all year: to support parents, help with school fees, celebrate milestones, and make sure family always has what they need.

But Christmas is different. It's emotional and nostalgic. It's tradition. We wanted to build something that captures the joy of giving, even from a distance.

The Aguinaldo Challenge brings a little fun and magic into supporting family. Every transfer, every purchase, every envelope becomes a lantern you light (a Parol) carrying your love home.
