Celebrate Friendship with ‘Clash of Clans – Tropical Clash’ and Your Favorite SEA CoC Players

Clash of Clans, a leading freemium mobile strategy game, continues to receive a warm welcome both from new players and returning Clashers after its huge update for Town Hall 14.

To celebrate the fantastic update, CoC gathered 12 top CoC influencers from four Southeast Asian (SEA) countires — Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines — and held a KOL Showmatch for ‘Clash of Clans Tropical Clash.’ The influencers were separated into two teams for the competition and came up with mighty names ‘Battle Builder’ (MY, TH Team) and ‘Jungle Clasher’ (ID, PH Team) for a series of friendly Clan Wars.

The country representatives for the show match were pro-players, beauties and gaming influencers, namely MasterRamen, Ombong Haha and HarrisGameboy from Malaysia; Iwan Clasher, Kelvin Afiando and Benny Moza from Indonesia; Cherizawa, L3bron and Kayla Heredia from the Philippines; and Black gamer, ZadistiX and VRZO from Thailand.

The leaders for each country were as follows:

  • Iwan Clasher – One of the top Clash of Clans educational content creators in Indonesia
  • Cherizawa – An avid gamer and Clash of Clans hardcore player from the Philippines
  • Harris GameBoy – A Clash of Clans enthusiast and hardcore streamer from Malaysia
  • ZadistiX – One of the top Clash of Clans players in Thailand who creates a lot of educational CoC content

There were three Tropical Clash sessions:

  1. Epic Jungle Challenge – Who is the fastest?

There were many activities to do such as the in-game activity Epic Jungle Challenge where each player had to destroy a base within five minutes. Successful attacks granted the challenger lots of gold and elixirs to help chiefs strengthen their base further.

2. Challenge My Base – Can you beat me?

For this warm-up game before the Clan Wars, both teams used various attack strategies to challenge a base designed for all players. The team with the most stars obtained was declared the winner.

3. Friendly Clan War

Last but not least, the must-do activity for Clashers was the ‘Friendly Clan War’ where players practice their skills and see how far they can go with their friends. All players did well during this round.

Some of the highlights during the Friendly Clan War are:

  • Kelvin Gaming used a giant and archer combination, made an outstanding performance attacking another team and got two stars.
  • Despite lacking skills, VRZO amazingly performed a 3-star attack on his opponents.
  • The base of Iwan Clasher, the strongest player of Team Jungle Clasher, suffered from a 3-star attack by Harris GameBoy, causing hype among the members of Team Battle Builder.
  • Team Battle Builder led the game until Bennymoza from Team Jungle Clasher delivered a successful 3-star attack his opponent’s base, tying the score.

The players got to know each other better and had a good time sharing their own CoC strategies that they have practiced for many years, proving that friendship can develop beyond geographical and linguistic boundaries with the help of a friendly game.

It’s time to return to your beloved village! Download Clash of Clans now and experience the new gameplay with the Town Hall 14 upgrade!

One Year in Quarantine: Musings and Learnings

Sitting at my workstation waiting for the coffee to finish brewing while starting my laptop for work, I think about how much life has changed though it seemed the same. We’d go about our day as before — meet deadlines at work, look after our family, walk or run or do a few minutes of yoga or Zumba some days of the week, catch up with friends and other loved ones — and yet, all these we do now on a different plane.

One Year Since Lockdown: Where are We?

A new year usually meant a new beginning, a time of refreshing in which we leave behind the year that had gone before and look forward to the days ahead. Whenever a new year would roll around, I would take out my planner and list down all the things I want to do that year – travel, attend concerts, figure out what I want to be. For the past few years of my life, it had always been this way.

This year was different.

Airbnb Launches New Tool to Estimate Potential Income for Prospective Filipino Hosts

Travel is coming back and Filipinos can earn extra income through hosting with the help of the What’s My Place Worth tool, an interactive new resource rolled out by Airbnb. The tool helps prospective hosts calculate their potential monthly income through inputs for geography, type of listing and space, and factors in prior Airbnb booking data in the area.

As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact local communities and businesses in the Philippines, the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) recently reported that some 4 million Filipinos remain unemployed.  For many, sharing their homes on Airbnb has provided a COVID social safety net, helping them to stay economically afloat in these unprecedented times. In Baguio City, for example, the P11,491* in estimated monthly income through hosting on Airbnb represents important supplemental revenue for prospective Hosts.

For those considering hosting, now is the time. A recent Meaningful Travel Trends survey commissioned by Airbnb indicated that Filipinos are ready to reconnect with their families as soon as travel restrictions ease, and there is pent-up demand for travel as people yearn to get out of the house after months of pandemic-caused isolation.

In fact, latest YouGov data indicates that travel with immediate and extended family will be the #1 reason for domestic travel among Filipinos this year. Filipinos are also seeking safe and affordable travel options, with quick getaways and nature retreats likely to gain traction.

The What’s My Place Worth tool is one of many resources Airbnb has for prospective Hosts, all of which can be explored at Airbnb.com/host. Please review all local laws and general health and safety guidelines prior to listing your space on Airbnb.  

*The earning estimate for Baguio City hosts stated here is for an entire home listing with a guest capacity of six. It is based on booking data from the past 12 months for that area and calculated by multiplying a nightly price by the total nights of occupancy.
