Even in June, the 2024 summer season is still going strong, with the heat just right for the perfect beach weather. As the waves crash and the sun blazes, there’s no better time to soak up the vibes of summer, and Security Bank is riding the crest of this sunny season with their innovative Wave Mastercard. At the center of their campaign is a stunning 3D billboard that captures the essence of summer, with dynamic and immersive visuals that offer a fresh perspective on financial freedom — just as if you’re coasting through life’s many waves with a cool breeze.
Located at the heart of Bonifacio Global City’s 5th Avenue in Taguig City, this 3D billboard is more than just an advertisement — it’s an immersive experience that invites passersby to feel the rush of the waves and the thrill of new adventures. Security Bank’s Wave Mastercard promises a sea of benefits, such as waived annual fees forever and 1% cashback on your online purchases, making it the perfect companion for your summer escapades and adventures. Made of 100% recycled PVC with a dynamic wave design, it also provides a low interest rate of 2.5%. As you watch the mesmerizing visuals of the lifelike waves, you can almost hear the call of the ocean and the promise of endless summer fun.
To complement this one-of-a-kind visual spectacle, Billboard Philippines has curated a playlist of eight summer tunes that will enhance your viewing experience and keep the good vibes rolling. Whether you’re gazing at the billboard while stuck in traffic or taking a stroll through the city, these tracks serve as the perfect soundtrack to your summer — all designed to make you feel like you’re riding the waves yourself.
“Pantropiko” – BINI
BINI, also known as the nation’s girl group, have been riding the waves of success with their hit single “Pantropiko,” which may very well be the Philippines’ most played song of the season.
With its lush production and sonic backdrop that immediately transports listeners to a tropicalsetting, there’s no doubt that this impeccably crafted pop song garners so much airplay when its listeners are basking in the warmth of the summer sun. Whether you’re surfing through the roaring waves in Siargao or partying around a bonfire in Boracay, “Pantropiko” makes for welcome company to anyone coasting through the season with their Wave Mastercard.
“River” – Miley Cyrus
As one of the best (and underrated) tracks from Miley Cyrus’ Grammy-nominated album Endless Summer Vacation, “River” is a summer bop that deserves more flowers. Its sophisticated synth-pop production and Cyrus’ sensual lyricism fit right at home with crowded beach clubs in El Nido and can perfectly pair with a well-concocted cocktail or two. With how the glitz and glamor of its sound evoke the cool breeze of a perfect summer night, there’s no surprise as to why this track is a welcome addition to anyone’s tropical soundtrack.
“Espresso” – Sabrina Carpenter
Nothing else is keeping us up day and night like Sabrina Carpenter’s hit single “Espresso,” which has rightfully claimed its title as 2024’s official song of the summer.
Beyond its recognition as a chart-topping smash hit worldwide, “Espresso” is an earworm that is warm, catchy, and easy to lose yourself to. Carpenter’s no-nonsense attitude about basking in the vibes of the season is on full display, with a carefree and undeniably cool confidence that many of us would like to emulate. The song’s breezy, upbeat, and flirtatious nature transports us right back to the beach with every listen — making it the perfect tune to accompany our sunny memories, just as Security Bank’s billboard does.
“Illusion” – Dua Lipa
Like the visual spectacle that is Security Bank’s 3D billboard, Dua Lipa’s “Illusion” is a dizzying treat that effortlessly evokes summer at its core. The psychedelic pop anthem may perfectly accompany the bustling nature of Ibiza’s club scene, but its mesmerizing grooves are effective nough to bring the beach to just about anyone. Whether you’re living it up in the VIP section of Balesin’s Beach Club or coasting through La Union with your barkada, you can definitely count on Dua Lipa to provide a banging soundtrack to your summer
“Water” – Tyla
Tyla’s breakthrough, Grammy-winning single “Water” is a summer bop that fuses the genres of R&B and pop with afrobeat elements. Its rich mixture of sounds showcases a texture that flows as smoothly as its titular subject does, together with a sensual nature that’s irresistible to let goof. With every beat and melody, the song makes us move our bodies as we go with the flow, just as how the Wave Mastercard can take us places with its many useful benefits.
“Cruel Summer” – Taylor Swift
A melancholic synth-pop tune, Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” is arguably an essential addition to any summer-themed soundtrack. It’s the go-to anthem for anyone aiming to relive their summer memories, evoking a sense of nostalgia that is as strong as the replay value of the track. As we hear Swift pour her heart out in the song’s unforgettable segue from its chorus to its bridge, it elicits a familiar and uncanny emotion that we’re living out a memory, along with the warmth or gloom attached to it.
“Alcohol-Free” – TWICE
Unlike the group’s signature K-pop style, “Alcohol-Free” marks a sonic departure for TWICE, as it infuses a bossa nova sound with hip-hop elements to deliver an absolutely intoxicating summer bop.
Its clever wordplay and witty lyricism are catchy, fun, and above all, refreshing, making it the perfect track to listen to as you bask in the summer sun. The track is warm and spritely given its unbridled energy, which is made even better as you hear the beloved K-pop group’s members make cheeky references to several cocktails. With some of these aforementioned drinks being perfect to consume under the heat of the sun, it’s also the perfect opportunity to use the Wave Mastercard by the beach bar to alleviate such sensations.
“Wave” – Wave To Earth
Coasting through life’s many waves and emotions is an experience that we live out on the daily, and Wave To Earth’s “Wave” perfectly encapsulates that unmistakable feeling. It’s a cool, ambient tune that allows us to enjoy the season with a cinematic outlook, as if we’re living life to the fullest like the main character of a coming-of-age movie. The song’s crescendo in its closing 30 seconds matches the turning point in which the hero makes a major realization.
