- KasKasan Buddies and Maya have been partners for years. But on June 5, 2026, the collaboration became more strategic and intentional.
- KasKasan Buddies Co-founder and CEO Joel Cabugos, Chief Marketing Officer Joram Joseph Bonus, Business Development Executive Carl Munsayac, and Maya's Head of Customer Voice and Community Management, Denise Gamo-Halaguena, together with Community Management Lead Emmanuel Culiuan, met to discuss what comes next.
- Years of working together build serious trust, and this meeting was about turning that history into direct action. The KKB and Maya teams aligned on one shared priority, which is making Maya products — specifically the Maya Black and the Maya Landers Cashback Credit Card — work better for the people who use them every day.

KasKasan Buddies Co-founder and CEO Joel Cabugos, Chief Marketing Officer Joram Joseph Bonus, Business Development Executive Carl Munsayac, and Maya's Head of Customer Voice and Community Management, Denise Gamo-Halaguena, together with Community Management Lead Emmanuel Culiuan, met to discuss what comes next.
Years of working together build serious trust, and this meeting was about turning that history into direct action. The KKB and Maya teams aligned on one shared priority, which is making Maya products — specifically the Maya Black and the Maya Landers Cashback Credit Card — work better for the people who use them every day.
The core of the discussion was scaling a frictionless feedback loop between Maya and the 2 million-strong KKB community. As some of the most vocal and financially active consumers in the Philippines, KKBuddies know exactly what works and what needs fixing. This collaboration ensures that real-time community experiences always have a clearer, faster path to the people in Maya who can act on them.
More than a smoother cardholder experience, the goal is to also make it a delightful one - where improvements are felt, and the community is actively part of building the product.
This means when Maya has updates, new features, or product improvements in the pipeline, KKB will be among the first to know. This helps the community get direct, verified, and timely information straight from the source with no guesswork.
KasKasan Buddies has always stood for one thing: making personal finance work for every Filipino, not just the ones who already know how. Deepening this collaboration with Maya is another step in that direction, and with more to come.
