UnionBank recently deployed its "Bank on Wheels" (BOW) mobile banking facility in Cebu

In a bid to aid the victims of Typhoon Odette in their journey toward recovery, Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) recently deployed its "Bank on Wheels" (BOW) mobile banking facility in Cebu, to provide customers with easy access to much needed basic financial services.

BOW is UnionBank's 5G-capable banking kiosk in a van, designed to bring the Bank's trailblazing technology and innovation directly to its customers. It is a mobile version of its first-in-industry fully digital banking branch, The ARK, allowing customers to experience the features of the said branch potentially anywhere in the country.

Cebu residents were able to use the automatic teller machine (ATM) inside the kiosk that enabled them (UnionBank cardholders) to do balance inquiry, withdrawal, funds transfer, and bills payment transactions. Non-UnionBank cardholders were able make balance inquiry and withdraw cash.

With the cash recycler machine (CRM) also inside the kiosk, the Cebuano UnionBank customers were in addition to the transactions mentioned earlier, were able to do card-less withdrawal as well as cash deposit for both carded and card-less transactions. Non-UnionBank cardholders, on the other hand, were able to do balance inquiries and cash withdrawals.

Housed in an air-conditioned and internet-connected facility, both machines replicate the fully digital banking branch experience, ensuring security and ease during transactions. The BOW moved to various typhoon-affected areas to make its features accessible to as many banking customers as possible.

“In the wake of Typhoon Odette’s devastation, many banking customers in Cebu and other affected areas were left with little to no access to basic banking services. Committed to address this urgent concern, we deployed BOW while we worked on restoring the bank’s ATM network in these areas,” said UnionBank’s SEVP, CTOO and CTO Henry Aguda.

In the aftermath of the typhoon, UnionBank's ATM availability in disaster-stricken areas was cut to only 21 percent. But through the Bank's agility and superior digital banking capabilities, availability of its ATMs was up to 64 percent after just one day. As of writing, 97 percent of the Bank's ATMs in the said areas are now operational.

“UnionBank will go the extra mile to serve the needs of our customers especially in times like these,” said Henry Aguda. “We take our corporate social responsibility and business continuity very seriously, and customers can rest assured that their banking needs will be met even in the most difficult of situations.”

Five reasons why the A95 is the glow up you need in 2022

Are you one of those people who looks to upgrade their smartphones to suit their lifestyle, but finds that there are way too many options to choose from? 

 

If you are still undecided on what to purchase for your smartphone glow-up this year, here's a list of things that you might want to consider when choosing your next device:

 

Can I document my favorite memories in high resolution?

We all love taking selfies, and capturing our everyday moments filled with food, pets, scenery and more - that’s why camera features are definitely one of the top priorities when looking to upgrade your phone. Don’t just settle for high megapixels! Look out for a phone with AI-enhanced Image Capture capabilities that will automatically turn your photos into professional-looking shots, just like the A95. Its 48MP triple rear-facing camera and 16mp selfie camera are powered by AI features to make your photos more lifelike and defined. 

Can I stream videos or play games uninterrupted?

If you use your smartphone to unwind with games or movie marathons, there’s nothing more annoying than lags or neverending notifications interrupting your stream. The OPPO A95, powered by ColorOS11.1, helps get rid of these problems with its Hyper Boost technology which ensures a more stable gaming experience, less battery consumption, and better temperature control. Plus, with Game Focus Mode and Bullet Notifications switched on to only alert for essential notifications, you can get a fully-immersive and interruption-free gaming experience.

 

Can the battery last the whole day? 

Lengthy battery life is nothing new for smartphones, so look out for high mAh levels, and even features to safeguard your battery’s longevity so that your new phone can keep up with your busy days. The OPPO A95 doesn’t just have a 5000mAh battery, but also 33W Flash Charging. This means with just a five-minute charge, you can stream Youtube videos up to 1.8 hours, chat with family and friends via call up to 5.73 hours, or doomscroll Instagram for 1.37 hours. 

 

But that’s just the start - OPPO A95 has a unique Battery Guard feature, which learns your sleep habits and personalizes how your phone charges based on these, so you don’t have to worry about overcharging your battery. Other features that help prolong battery life include temperature control, especially useful while you’re gaming or streaming; Super Power Saving Mode, so you don’t have to worry about calling a ride home while your phone’s at 5%; and Super Nighttime Standby, which keeps your A95 on standby mode for 8 hours with just 2% battery remaining. 

 

Can the smartphone run smoothly?

To keep up with your fast-paced lifestyle, you need a smartphone that can run smoothly and without any lags, even with multiple apps open. To help you multitask seamlessly, the A95 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 and a large 8GB RAM+128GB ROM. It even has a System Booster feature, to give you consistently smooth working experience on your gadget. These top-of-the-line hardware specs are exactly what to look for when upgrading your smartphone. 

 

Is it easy to use or hold the smartphone?

Although design and comfort may seem like trivial qualities when it comes to choosing a smartphone for you, these things matter when you use a smartphone all day. Even with its large battery, the slim and light OPPO A95 weighs just 175g in a 7.95mm thin body. It also comes in two stylish colors - Glowing Starry Black for those who prefer neutral tech accessories, and Glowing Rainbow Silver, which can put you in a Very Peri mood for 2022. Its back cover is also resistant to scratches, wear, fire and even your fingerprints, so it stays durable and looking clean at all times.

 

With the all-new smart performing OPPO A95, the answer to all these questions is yes! A power-packed device with a stylish design and ultra-long battery life, it’s the perfect gadget glow-up to get you started this 2022. 

 

The OPPO A95 retails at PHP15,999 and is available via the OPPO Flagship Store at Lazada and Shopee, and OPPO Brand Stores nationwide. For more information, visit the OPPO Philippines’ official website at www.oppo.com.ph, or its official Facebook page at OPPO Philippines.

 

 

The SM Store, SM Foundation launch Share your Extras for Typhoon Odette communities

Let’s make the start of the year more meaningful by donating new or gently used clothes via The SM Store and SMFoundation’s Share Your Extras. Donations pooled this year will be for the benefit of communities impacted by Typhoon Odette.

Shoppers can drop off their pre-loved clothes or purchase new ones for donation at any of The SM Store branches from January 15 to February 15 in Metro Manila, and February 1 to 28 at the rest of the branches nationwide. 

For every donated item, shoppers will receive a P100 discount coupon voucher courtesy of The SM Store. This can be redeemed at their next single-receipt purchase of a minimum of P1,000-worth of select items in-store or via Call To Deliver.

What are the DOs and DON’Ts?

·       Donate clothes in good condition. The clothes should be gently used and in good, wearable condition, without holes or damages.

·       Donate practical clothes only. Remember that your donations will go to communities who have lost access to basic needs. Please donate tops and bottoms for everyday wear that can be used comfortably by infants or adults. Avoid donating suits, gowns, uniforms, and costumes.

·       Wash the clothes first. For the safety of the people handling and receiving your donations, clean the clothes first and try to remove spots or stains. Skip donating used undergarments and bathing suits. 

·       Check the pockets. Double and triple check to make sure there are no valuables or pieces of trash, such as used tissue or candy wrappers, left in the pockets.

 

Share Your Extras is an annual initiative of The SM Store and SM Foundation aimed at helping communities in need, such as those impacted by calamities. In 2018, we provided personal hygiene items for families in Marawi, and in 2020, we donated packed relief items for the communities in Isabela impacted by Typhoon Ulysses. This year, Share Your Extras will benefit families affected by Typhoon Odette, which has displaced millions of individuals in Mimaropa, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Other The SM Store campaigns like Share Shoes, Donate A Book, and Share A Toy have received overwhelming support from customers.

For more updates and ways to donate, visit www.thesmstore.com and follow its social media pages @thesmstore on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

LRT-1 Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) intensifies its fight against COVID-19 by using best-in-class health and safety protocols

In a bid to continue providing a safe transportation system, private operator of LRT-1 Light Rail Manila Corporation (LRMC) intensifies its fight against COVID-19 by using best-in-class health and safety protocols amid rising cases in the country.

 

On January 15 and 17, LRMC will provide free random COVID-19 antigen swab tests to passengers who will give their consent or volunteer for testing. Testing sites will be located at strategic LRT-1 stations with high volume of passengers that include EDSA, Baclaran, Monumento, and Carriedo.

LRMC is targeting to have at least a total of 40 passengers to be tested from 7 am to 5 pm. The turnaround time for the whole procedure is approximately 15 to 20 minutes per passenger. The antigen swab test will be administered by medical professionals from State Lab Clinics and Diagnostic Center. Passengers who will send themselves for testing will be given consent forms prior the procedure partnered with mandatory contact tracing requirements.

 

Those passengers who will test positive will not be allowed to ride the train, and will be assisted in coordinating with their respective local government unit. LRMC will be giving incentives to those passengers who will test negative with a free beep™ card with minimum load, in line with the company’s push for contactless payments as a safer way to travel. 

 

Aside from passengers, there will also be antigen swab testing among LRMC station employees, and they will undergo a confirmatory RT-PCR test once tested positive for COVID-19 virus. All LRMC employees are required to undergo daily monitoring of health conditions, which has been effective for the company in preventing workplace transmission.

 

Starting January 17, LRMC will also enforce the Department of Transportation’s (DOTr’s) new Department Order on vaccination policy, requiring passengers to present vaccination cards when riding the train. Unvaccinated individuals with medical conditions must present a duly signed certificate from their doctor. Those obtaining essential goods and services must present duly issued barangay health pass or other proof to support such travel.

 

“At LRT-1, we don’t allow the virus for a free ride. We remain committed to keeping LRT-1 safe for our passengers and our employees. And so, we remain adaptive to the evolving situation, and continuously upgrade existing protocols. LRMC works hand-in-hand with the government in managing the impact of COVID-19, while making sure that essential services are supported,” Dr. Duday de Sales, LRMC Head of Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality Department said.

 

To date, LRMC has achieved a 99.7% vaccination rate and 20% for booster shots among LRT-1 employees. The company has been awarded the Safety Seal by the Pasay City local government highlighting the company’s compliance with COVID-19 protocols.

 

Proper ventilation is assured as trains are equipped with hospital-grade HEPA filtration and UVC system that is installed in air-conditioning units to keep indoor air fresh and clean.

 

Currently allowed to operate at 70% passenger capacity under Alert Level 3, LRMC continues to implement other health and safety protocols to strengthen public confidence in public transport such as diligent temperature checks before entering the station, “No face mask, no entry” policy, and regular disinfection. LRMC was also the first to implement the “no-talking and no answering phone calls” policy inside the trains. There are also roving train marshals and security officers to strictly enforce protocols. It has pioneered the use of digital and mobile technology via its ikotMNL mobile app for information dissemination and convenient trip planning.

 

LRT-1 operates daily following this train service schedule: Northbound train (4:30AM to 9:15PM), Southbound train (4:30AM to 9:30PM).

 

For more updates and info on the LRT-1, follow LRMC on Facebook at facebook.com/officialLRT1, Twitter at @officialLRT1, or download the ikotMNL mobile app for free on Google Play and App Store.

Xiaomi as a global company has been giving back after a year of milestones. In December 2021, Xiaomi Philippines shared the Christmas spirit to the BASECO community by donating noche buena packages and school kits, while Xiaomi Corporation donated one hundred thousand US dollars to partner organizations for the benefit of victims of Typhoon Rai.
