Hidilyn Diaz, bumilib sa kayang gawin ng Cash Agad

NAPANSIN ni 2020 Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz na hindi madaling makapag-bangko sa mga probinsya dahil sa layo ng mga bahay mula sa bayan kung saan naroon ang mga bangko. 

 

Halimbawa na lamang ang mga beneficiary o kamag-anak ng mga overseas Filipinos na kailangan pang bumyahe ng ilang oras para lang makapunta sa pinamakalapit na ATM at i-withdraw ang mga padalang remittance. 

 

Kaya laking gulat ni Hidilyn nang makakita sya ng mga Cash Agad point-of-sale (POS) terminal na naka-istasyon sa iba't-ibang micro and small business establishment sa kanyang hometown sa Zamboanga.

 

“Friendly-neighborhood ATM”

 

Ang Cash Agad ay serbisyo na inilunsad ng BDO Unibank noong 2014 kung saan ang mga ATM cardholder ay maaaring makapag-withdraw ng cash gamit ang mga Cash Agad POS terminal sa pinakamalapit na partner stores sa kanilang lugar. 

 

"May Cash Agad sila, kaya nasabi ko noon meron palang ganyan? Kasi nga, galing ako sa iba't-ibang lugar at nakita ko na walang ATM sa mga lugar na yun. Paano na lang yung may pamilya sa abroad, paano nila (overseas Filipino) ipapadala yung pera nila (sa pamilya sa probinsya)? Kapag may Cash Agad partner store na malapit sa inyo, maiwiwithdraw mo ang perang padala sa bank account mo. Ang galing,” ani Hidilyn.

Nagkalat na ang mga Cash Agad partner stores ng BDO na may micro, small o medium-sized na negosyo sa malalayong lugar. Kabilang sa mga ito ang mga sari-sari store, botika, bakery, pawnshop, hardware store, water refilling station at iba pang karaniwang negosyo sa mga probinsya.

 

"Pag may Cash Agad sa lugar nyo, hindi mo na kailangang magbyahe nang malayo para lang makapag-withdraw kasi syempre sa probinsya malalayo ang lugar. Magco-commute ka pa para makapunta sa pinakamalapit na bangko sa city. Nakagastos ka na, ubos pa ang kalahating araw mo," dagdag pa ni Hidilyn.

 

Sa Cash Agad, ang isang cardholder ay makaka-withdraw ng hanggang PHP10,000. Ang maximum withdrawal amount kada araw ay depende sa limit ng issuing bank.

 

May benepisyo rin ang Cash Agad sa mga partner-agent dahil dagdag kita ito sa kanila mula sa convenience fee kada withdrawal. Bukod dito, sa bawat punta ng cardholder para mag-withdraw, malaki rin ang posibilidad na bumili pa ang customer at maging suki ng kanilang tindahan. Wala ring franchise fee para maging Cash Agad partner-agent sa kasalukuyan.

 

Para sa mga kabayang interesadong maging Cash Agad partner-agent para magka-extra income, magpunta lang sa Cash Agad website (www.bdo.com.ph/cash-agad-application), o tumawag sa hotline (02-8840-7575; domestic toll-free number 1-800-10-840-7575) o mag-email sa Cash Agad Sales Team email address (cashagad@bdo.com.ph).

 

UnionBank GlobalLinker partners with Lazada

Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank), the country's leading digital bank for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), has again teamed up with one of the major e-commerce platforms Lazada, enabling online sellers to have more options when it comes to bringing their products closer to customers.

With the memorandum of agreement (MOA) signed last 10 March 2022, UnionBank through its digital MSME online platform UnionBank GlobalLinker (UBGL), will create a special site for all Lazada sellers and the latter will do the same for UBGL sellers. All existing Lazada sellers prior to the partnership will be automatically included.

According to UBGL and Lazada, the joint initiative aims to encourage more sign ups in both of their respective marketplaces. It will help entrepreneurs expand their online presence much easier, as enlisting with either platform automatically opens up another virtual storefront for them, resulting to more opportunities in doing business with customers.

Signing up offers numerous benefits to sellers. First, they will have access to a dedicated Lazada Onboarding Team. This crew can provide guidance on a number of ideas ranging from selling to strategies; help those who have questions or concerns; and notify sellers about the latest initiatives within the Lazada platform.

In addition, sellers can utilize the following campaign features for free: Members Exclusive Campaign (Home Page Banner, Landing Page, and Lazada Live), New Seller Campaign Access, and Mega Campaign Access. The first 150 signups also enjoy service marketplace packages amounting to more than               PHP 1 million in support. These include Product Photography, Product Upload, and Store Builder Design, among others.

Lazada will likewise be promoting the UnionBank GlobalLinker platform to its own Lazada Seller Community, so that they too, can reap the benefits of the UBGL Platform.

“Right now, we are, without a doubt, in the golden age of e-commerce in the country. We want more enterprising Filipinos to thrive in this period of exponential growth for online shopping, which is why our enhanced partnership with Lazada is very timely,” said Jaypee Soliman, UnionBank Vice President and Head of SME and Micropreneurs Segment. “This is all part of our efforts to support the country’s MSME sector, bolster our “Tech-Up Pilipinas” advocacy, and promote inclusive prosperity for Filipinos.”

"With more MSMEs going online, the partnership with UnionBank is definitely a great step forward in enabling Filipino businesses to grow and scale their e-Commerce presence. As we go into our 10th year of empowering MSMEs to go digital, we share an equal mission with UnionBank to continue to uplift Filipino entrepreneurs and further fuel the local digital economy,” says Carlos Barrera, Lazada Philippines Chief Operating Officer. 

Lazada has been a reliable partner of UnionBank in backing the country's MSME sector and making online shopping easier for customers since 2020. During the peak of the health crisis, the two companies provided an emergency credit lifeline to Lazada sellers who were heavily affected by the pandemic. In August of the same year, they launched the 

The Metrobank Foundation, Inc. (MBFI) took home its 3rd Grand Anvil at the 57th Anvil Awards

The Metrobank Foundation, Inc. (MBFI) took home its 3^rd Grand Anvil at the 57^th Anvil Awards, specifically for its program that provided supplemental aid to 10 community pantries in Metro Manila. 

 

Organized by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP), the Grand Anvil is given to a public relations program which stands out among the Gold Anvil winners. Considered as the Oscars of the public relations industry in the Philippines, the Anvil symbolizes excellence in public relations and is awarded by distinguished multi-sectoral jury to outstanding public relations programs and tools. The Gabi ng Parangal was held virtually on February 24, 2022. 

 

With the disrupted food supply chains and inadequate livelihood opportunities due to restrictions, the most vulnerable struggled to find means to nourish their families and put food on the table. What emerged from this need was the Filipinos’ display of ingenuity and compassion. Soon enough, community pantries started to open in various cities, bringing together people to provide food aid. 

Together with GT Foundation, Inc. (GTFI), the project was able to bring people together to a shared cause, show solidarity and provide hope and inspiration to Filipinos whose lives and livelihoods were severely affected the pandemic. 

 

Leveraging on its thrust of fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships, assisted community pantries provided food assistance to 13, 926 indigent families during a four-week period, from May 22-June 12 in Manila, Quezon City, Makati City, Mandaluyong City, Marikina City, and Taguig City. By working with the Society of Jesuit-run Tanging Yaman Foundation, Inc., other affected sectors like local farmers and displaced jeepney drivers were also assisted. Working with the Tanging Yaman Foundation enabled MBFI to source vegetables and dried fish directly from the source—various farmers from Northern Luzon and fishermen from Visayas, following a “farm-to-community pantry” framework.

 

In his acceptance message, MBFI president Aniceto Sobrepeña said, “This Grand Anvil, is dedicated to the national movement to curb hunger. We share this victory with our partners in the government and private sector, as well as each frontliner and Filipino, who strive to look after communities. May we all lean on hope and be the hope that our country needs as we carve a better future for all.”

 

Sustaining its commitment to provide food for the marginalized, the joint efforts of MBFI and GTFI has benefitted more than 31, 926 families all over the country. These projects include feeding programs and distribution of food bags to communities most affected by the pandemic, as well as those who were victims of natural calamities and disasters. 

 

 

Another recipient of the Gold Anvil is the “2021 Metrobank Foundation Outstanding Filipinos.” Also nominated for the Grand Anvil, this public relations program is considered as the most prestigious career-service award in the Philippines, recognizing exemplary teachers, soldiers, and police officers. Since its inception, it has recognized 685 Outstanding Filipinos who went above and beyond their call of duty as public servants. The program was deferred last 2020 due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. By transitioning to a fully virtual program in 2021, MBFI demonstrates its sustained commitment to honoring these public servants for their unwavering commitment to good governance especially during a national crisis.

 

These accolades made way for MBFI’s nomination to the most coveted “Company of the Year,” a recognition given to an organization which garnered the greatest number of accumulated points based on the trophies it received. 

On the other hand, GTFI, the family foundation of the Ty family, received a Silver Anvil for the 2021 Bags of Blessing (BOB). A gift-giving program initiated by the late Metrobank Group Chairman Dr. George Ty Siao Kian, BOB is celebrated every Chinese New Year and unites employees of the Metrobank Group of Companies, and institutional partners to participate in the legacy to sustain a culture of “paying it forward.” Last year, BOB has distributed 18,000 bags of food items worth Php 1,000 to 18,000 indigent families in 33 sites nationwide. 

 

MBFI has been winning the Anvil awards since 1985. To date, it has won 95 Anvil awards for its various public relations programs and tools, gaining the record as the first corporate foundation to win a back-to-back Grand Anvil (Metrobank Foundation Search for Outstanding Teachers in 2010 and National Teachers’ Month Campaign in 2011) and 2 Platinum Anvils (“Launching Dreams:” The Metrobank Foundation, Inc. 35^th anniversary Celebration in 2015 and “Empowering Filipinos, Building the Nation” 2014 Metrobank Foundation Annual Report in 2016) in the history of the award-giving body. 

 

MBFI has also earned three Hall of Fame Awards for its programs the Metrobank Art & Design Excellence (MADE) (2016), the Metrobank Math Challenge (2018), and the National Teachers’ Month (2020). It was also hailed as Company of the Year during the 51^st Anvil Awards in 2016. 

 

What’s the best BNPL partner for side hustlers?

For the longest time, side hustles have always been an integral part of the Filipino working culture. Most commonly known to Filipinos as ‘raket’, these are sideline jobs undertaken for extra income. You see them everywhere – from your neighbor offering personal care products, a co-worker selling goodies and snacks at the office, or your former classmate with an online selling business.

 

These so-called side hustlers include AR Peralta, a 28-year-old School Director who, aside from his main job, has a side hustle. Sharing his diskarte story in this latest episode of Kwentong HC, he narrated how he manages his finances and spends his hard-earned money wisely. 

 

“Suma-sideline din ako paminsan-minsan. Before pandemic, as a make-up artist and events host. At ngayong pandemic, online seller.” (I do side hustles from time to time. Before the pandemic, as a make-up artist and events host. And now, during the pandemic, as on online seller). 

Many of them are usually faced with the challenge of financially supporting the household. Helping them manage and stretch out their budget are buy now, pay later (BNPL) companies like Home Credit. For many years, Home Credit has been equipping many Pinoys with alternative and convenient payment options to avail home appliances, electronic gadgets and such. 

 

“I earn decent naman pero hindi na tayo bumabata. Dapat smart ang pag-spend. Mahirap bumili ng bagay kapag isang bagsakan.” (I earn decent. But I realized, I’m not getting any younger so I should be smarter with the way I spend [my money]. It’s hard to purchase an item if you have to pay for it one-time, big-time).

“I love to sing. Hilig din kasi ng family ko kumanta. Kaya naisipan ko mag-Home Credit. Sa unang pundar ko, I availed Magic Sing.” (Me and family really like singing. That’s why with my very first investment, I thought of availing a Magic Sing with Home Credit). 

Home Credit offers easy and affordable monthly installments for consumers like AR who wants to avail and invest on big-ticket items, fit for their budget and monthly income. 

“Good choice talaga yung nag-avail ako with Home Credit. Big help with how I budget my finances. As a matter of fact, after nung Magic Sing, nag-avail pa ako ng 2 pang cellphones for me and my sister.” (I really made a good choice availing from Home Credit. It’s such a big help with how I budget my finances. As a matter of fact, after the Magic Sing, I also bought 2 more cellphones for me and my sister). 

For working individuals like him who are busy juggling their main job and side hustle with little time to go to the malls, Marketplace, found in the My Home Credit App, is an instant help to browse products and easily shop anytime, anywhere. You can even compare prices, specs and deals for any commodity, all within the reach of your fingertips. 

 

“I trust my purchases with them. Sobrang convenient na sa pagba-budget, nakakapundar pa ako one step at a time. Salamat sa Home Credit. Nakakapundar ako while saving for my future.” (I trust my purchases with them [Home Credit]. I can invest for the items that I want and it’s convenient to pay considering my budget. So, thanks Home Credit for helping me plan for the future). 

If you’re like AR who’s looking for items perfectly fit for your budget, visit any of Home Credit’s 10,000+ partner retail stores nationwide or download the My Home Credit App and invest on your first home appliance, electronic gadget, furniture, and more.

Taking the right medication to treat your flu can also fast-track your way to recovery

 

Flu is definitely bad news, especially when you have to worry about the ongoing pandemic along with it. There is always the possibility that the symptoms you are feeling could be signs of COVID-19. 

 

This only means one thing: When you are experiencing flu symptoms, you need to address them right away with the right steps and the right medication, so you can get back on track.

 

The flu is a contagious infection caused by the influenza virus. It is usually accompanied by a cough or cold, and its symptoms could last from two to three days to about a week. These symptoms include clogged nose, sneezing, runny nose, headaches and body aches, fever. Having the flu can leave you feeling tired and restless the whole day, if not for several days. When you have the flu, it’s likely that you will need bed to alleviate its symptoms. 

 

Leaving your flu untreated could lead to more severe symptoms and a longer recovery time from the illness.  

 

To recover from the flu immediately, you will need to stay home and rest until your symptoms are better. This also prevents you from spreading it; it is important to stay away from children and the elderly as they are more susceptible to the flu’s more severe symptoms.

 

Constant hydration is also the key to recovering from the flu. You will also need to eat healthy foods during your bout with the illness, even if you have no appetite for it because of your condition.

 

Taking the right medication to treat your flu can also fast-track your way to recovery—like Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU), a multi-benefit solution to flu symptoms.

Unlike other medications that deal with only one or two symptoms brought about by the flu, Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU) can address several flu-related ailments at once. It helps relieve clogged noses, sneezing, and runny nose and treats headaches, body aches, and fever. It is also formulated to relieve symptoms of other related ailments such as sinusitis and allergic rhinitis. This makes the product a valuable multi-purpose medication for every Filipino household.

 

Phenylephrine HCl Chlorphenamine Maleate Paracetamol (BIOFLU) can also be taken to relieve side effects brought about by the COVID-19 vaccines and booster shots. Common side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine include fever, cough, tiredness, headache, body aches and pains—symptoms that the medicine is meant to treat.

 

At PHP7.50 SRP per tablet, it is also one of the most affordable multi-purpose flu solutions in the market today. 

 

It’s always good to keep medications at home so you can easily bounce back from the symptoms of flu and return to your healthy, lively, productive self.
