Cignal TV partners with DepED to host 2 channels to support students and families through distance learning

With the public school classes commencing last Monday, October 5, 2020, the country’s elementary and high school students are in for a new digital experience in contrast to the traditional face-to-face instruction that generations of Filipinos have undergone before. Responding to this national need for an effective distance learning platform for the nearly 25M enrollees this SY 2020-2021, Cignal TV, the leading Pay TV provider in the Philippines with its nationwide coverage and availability serving 2.6 million subscribers, has recently inked a partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) to open up two channels dedicated to DepEd TV’s content across both Cignal TV and SatLite, it’s mass-market pay-TV brand.

 

According to DepEd Undersecretary for Administration Alain Del B. Pascua, “Recent restrictions in face-to-face classes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic compelled DepEd to adopt alternative learning delivery modalities for School Year (SY) 2020-2021. As cited in its Basic Education Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP), DepEd has identified four modalities for distance learning including television-based instruction and radio-based instruction.”

 

DepEd TV via Cignal TV CH.149 and SatLite CH.189 launched simultaneously with the start of classes. It is available to all prepaid and postpaid Cignal subscribers, as well as SatLite subscribers. The channel is available to DTH subscribers even if they do not have load in their accounts, ensuring every subscriber has access to the channel. DepEd TV will also be streamed for free on Cignal’s OTT streaming service called Cignal Play and is available for Android and iOS users upon registry via cignalplay.com.

 

Cignal TV’s President and CEO Robert P. Galang says, “The need to support students and families through distance learning is an integral step in helping both our students and their parents through these challenging times. We want television to provide convenience to students at home, a chance for parents to be involved, and educators to be eased. Partnering with the Department of Education is aligned with Cignal TV’s mission to provide a broad and meaningful experience for households; merging entertainment and education in order to empower Filipinos”.

 

Education Secretary Leonor Briones said TV and radio-based instruction are important in distance learning, especially for students who do not have access to the internet. "Napakahalaga ng TV at radio sa buong bansa kasi 'di naman lahat may access sa [internet] connectivity," she said during the signing of a memorandum of agreement between the DepEd and its partner channels and radio stations.

 

DepEd TV broadcasts will be from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM from Monday to Saturday for the next two (2) years. This is a small step that Cignal TV is taking to ensure that it gives back to the community through its platforms and nationwide reach.

PayMaya Philippines through "Sulong Negosyo" has made it faster, easier, and safer for MSMEs to reboot their business

This is good news to all online sellers or MSMEs as Paymaya give their all out support to all entrepreneurs through "Sulong Negosyo". 

As the Philippines charts its path toward economic recovery, digital financial services leader PayMaya is providing full support to micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) across the country to accelerate their transition to e-Commerce with the help of digital and cashless technology.

Through a campaign entitled "Sulong Negosyo" launched on October 7, PayMaya announced product, programs, and partnership support worth up to P60 million to help jumpstart the recovery and growth of MSMEs in the country aided by cashless and contactless payments.

"MSMEs form a critical sector in our country’s recovery from the current crisis. With all businesses compelled to to go digital, MSMEs should not be left behind. 'Sulong Negosyo' is our rallying action to enable MSMEs with cashless technologies said Orlando B. Vea, Founder and CEO of PayMaya.

 

Based on recent figures from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), an estimated 90,000 businesses remain closed and over 200,000 workers have permanently lost their jobs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of which belong to the MSME sector. 

 

However, the entrepreneurial spirit is strong among Filipinos. In the recent 2020 Global Entrepreneurship Survey conducted by Go Daddy, 1 in 3 Filipinos started a micro business during the pandemic, becoming home-based entrepreneurs, offering products and services online through social media or chat apps. This new wave of literal home-grown MSMEs is harnessing the power of digital for recovery. 

 

With cashless fast becoming the default choice for payment among consumers, providing our MSMEs with the ability to accept all types of cashless payments, whether online or in their physical stores, will hasten their cash flow and also promote public health safety. 

 

Cashless products to digitally fuel MSMEs

 

"Even as the economy reopens, online, cashless, and contactless transactions are here to stay as customers choose convenience and safety. The next phase of commerce will be digitally-fueled, so equipping MSMEs with the right tools and payment options in order to succeed in this new era is one of our main priorities at PayMaya," said Raymund Villanueva, Business Head for QR Ecosystems at PayMaya.

 

In this regard, PayMaya is providing various cashless payment tools for MSMEs such as:

• PayMaya QR codes that can easily be shared via social media or chat apps, or displayed for face-to-face transactions, allowing sellers to receive instant payments from PayMaya users. 
• PayMaya Payment Links help MSMEs that do not have established e-Commerce stores by allowing them to generate links which they can send to their customers for payment. Once clicked, customers will be led to their own PayMaya payment page where they can pay using their PayMaya account or Visa, Mastercard, and JCB credit or debit cards.
• PayMaya Checkout Plugins are for MSMEs operating online stores powered by Shopify, Magento, or WooCommerce that allows for quick and easier integration of the PayMaya Checkout payment gateway without the need for advanced coding knowledge or experience.

MSMEs interested in these solutions can easily sign up and upload their requirements by using the new PayMaya Business Manager at http://pymy.co/BeAMerchant or by downloading the PayMaya Negosyo app from the Google Play Store.

Rewarding entrepreneurship

 

To help encourage more MSMEs to go digital and cashless, PayMaya has also launched its "PayMaya Negosyante Rewards" program, providing benefits to members such as:

• Exclusive rewards to merchants whenever they accept cashless payments through various PayMaya products and solutions
• Free advertisements and marketing tools to help promote their products and services online through PayMaya's various digital properties and within the PayMaya app
• Free livelihood trainings and online courses with industry experts to help them gain business and digital skills to prepare them for the New Normal
  
  

Aside from this, MSMEs can also augment their income by operating as a Smart Padala/PayMaya Negosyo agent in their physical stores, where they can process remittances, accept bills payments, and sell mobile prepaid load, among others.

Those interested to join the PayMaya Negosyante Rewards program can visit pymy.co/Negosyante to sign up today.

 

Advocating digital entrepreneurship 

 

During the Sulong Negosyo campaign launch, PayMaya also announced it has tied up with entrepreneurial advocacy group Go Negosyo for various income opportunities and mentorship programs in the next several months.

 

"MSMEs are the backbone of our economy, so a concerted effort among government, the private sector, and civil society will definitely help boost their recovery in the months ahead. We thank PayMaya for this partnership that will definitely help provide a lot of opportunities to learn and earn for many small businesses across the country," added Presidential Adviser for Entrepreneurship Joey Concepcion, who is also the founder of Go Negosyo.

 

MSMEs participating in Go Negosyo programs across the country can enjoy access to PayMaya products, with assistance on onboarding, incentives, and training resources.  

 

PayMaya is the only end-to-end digital payments ecosystem enabler in the Philippines with platforms and services that cut across consumers, merchants, and government. Aside from providing payments acceptance for the largest e-Commerce, food, retail and gas merchants in the Philippines, PayMaya enables national and social services agencies as well as local government units with digital payments and disbursement services.

 

Through its app and wallet, PayMaya provides millions of Filipinos with the fastest way to own a financial account with over 57,000 Add Money touchpoints nationwide, more than double the total number of traditional bank branches in the Philippines combined.

 

Its Smart Padala by PayMaya network of over 30,000 partner touchpoints nationwide serves as last mile digital financial hubs in communities, providing the unbanked and underserved with access to services.

BDO Unibank, Inc. was named Best Bank in the Philippines by Alpha Southeast Asia

The financial publication Alpha Southeast Asia recently honors BDO Unibank, Inc by awarding the Best Bank in the Philippines and the Best Cash Management Bank in the PH. 

It also recognized the bank’s subsidiaries led by BDO Private Bank, which has won the Best Wealth Management Bank in the Philippines for the 13th straight year. Investment banking arm BDO Capital and Investment, for its part, was awarded the Best Equity House in the Philippines.

 

Alpha Southeast Asia evaluated the deals and transaction volumes of financial institutions based in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam from June 2019 to May 2020. After a “thorough and intensive” process, it arrived at this year’s list of awardees.

“These are truly important awards for BDO, especially during this time. They belong to the bank’s 38,000-strong workforce. Because of their commitment and resourcefulness to serve Filipinos amid the new normal, we are now operating at 100%—a true testament to the ‘We Find Ways’ philosophy of BDO,” said Nestor V. Tan, president and chief executive officer of BDO.

 

 

Best Bank & Cash Management Bank

 

BDO is a nine-time Best Bank in the Philippines Awardee in the Financial Institution Awards. This year, Alpha Southeast Asia noted the bank’s resiliency against a very challenging backdrop: 

 

“Despite a global economic slowdown, the resilience of the local economy has helped banks like BDO surpass previous highs including significant improvement on profitability, net income, bank’s cost-to-income ratio, asset quality as well as total shareholder returns.”

 

The financial publication also underscored BDO’s strategy in ensuring cash accessibility to its clients for the fifth time with the Best Cash Management Bank in the Philippines Award. It lauded the bank’s consultative approach and innovative solutions to meet its clientele’s constantly changing requirements.

 

Alpha Southeast Asia also highlighted BDO’s contribution to moving corporate payroll from manual cash distribution to automatic account crediting for maximum ease and efficiency.

 

 

Best Wealth Management Bank & Equity House 

 

“BDO Private Bank is a unique institution unlike any other in the Philippines, and elsewhere. In a country where the biggest exports are its own people… it has carved out a niche to service an emerging segment of wealthy individuals,” said Alpha Southeast Asia.

 

It attributed BDO Private Bank’s 13-year reign as the Best Wealth Management Bank in the Philippines to its open architecture model, which provides clients with the freedom to design their investment strategy and achieve the best returns.

 

While many global private banks experienced cutbacks combined with an all-time low confidence level among high net worth individuals, the finance magazine noted that BDO Private Bank saw improvement in its balance sheet, “which is perhaps the greatest proof why its business model inarguably works best.”

 

During the awards period, BDO Capital partnered with several small, medium, and very large firms from diverse industries and helped conclude their deals. For exemplifying its expertise throughout each successful transaction, Alpha Southeast Asia honored the BDO subsidiary with the Best Equity House in the Philippines Award for the 5th time, calling it “one of the most powerful equity market distribution platforms in the Philippines today.”

 

The financial publication predicts that with the country returning to the radar of foreign investors and the improving performance of the Philippine Stock Exchange, BDO Capital is poised to sustain the upward movement of its market share.
