The capital-raising plan will be subject to regulatory approvals.

Things You Can Spend Your (Forgotten) Unclaimed Insurance Benefits On

 

What if you suddenly found yourself on the receiving end of a windfall? What if years ago, a relative died and no one knew about the insurance policy that was left behind for you?

When people think about life insurance, top of mind would be the most important things: provide money for loved ones upon death, defray costs in the event of a medical emergency or illness. While those are all true and cover the most important uses of life insurance, what if those were already covered and now you are the unexpected recipient of a large amount of money. Beyond the basics, this insurance claim can give you financial wiggle room for your needs and wants.

Here are five other ways you can spend your insurance claims:

1. Use it to pay estate tax

Unexpected death usually leaves behind a lot of financial loose ends, and among those, estate taxes can be the biggest expense that you need to deal with. Fortunately, a windfall can provide you with the resources you need to settle those taxes, so you can gain access to any assets left behind.

2. Invest in real estate

This is your opportunity to create passive income for yourself and your family. Buy that land, house, or condo and rent it out. With a carefully thought-out real estate purchase, it can generate multiple returns on your investment.

3. Buy collectibles

Did you know certain toys, watches, luxury bags, or even sneakers can sometimes sell for millions? Collectible investment involves buying something which (hopefully) will exponentially increase in value and be worth much more than its original sale price in the future. The item could be very popular with pricing depending on the condition, rarity, and uniqueness of the item.

4. Invest in yourself

Take that master’s degree you’ve always wanted or enroll in a certificate course that has always been at the back of your mind. Learn new skills, take up a new hobby. Whatever skill you decide to learn, investing in yourself can only result in gains for you. Whether it’s for your personal use (like taking an MBA) or something you can earn from (like baking), new knowledge will always come in handy.

5. Take out another insurance policy

Strengthen your financial resilience. The great thing about life insurance is it provides a practical safety net during times of uncertainty and with the insurance claims, you can use it to reinvest in a new insurance policy that will yield another set of benefits later on.

You can choose from a variety of products depending on your need – whether it’s for protection from life’s many risks or something which will help you grow your money long term such as investing it in bonds, you can never go wrong with an insurance policy.

Find out if you have benefits to claim

Do you think you have benefits to claim? AIA Philippines (formerly AIA Philam Life) recently announced its search for thousands of policyholders who have unclaimed benefits which range from policy maturities, reinstatements, claims, redemptions, and even refunds. Despite fervent efforts to contact its customers through registered mail, email, callouts, and their agents, there is still a huge number who have yet to be reached.

“We hope to reach customers–those who we have lost touch with amid changes in communications technology and who have bought their policies under our former brand, Philam Life,” shared AIA Philippines Chief Operating Officer Geegee Lopez. “We are doing this because we have a promise that goes beyond passively responding when our customers make a claim. The promise of helping our customers live healthier, longer, better lives includes making sure these hard-earned benefits get to the intended recipients. We’re asking for everyone’s help in finding our customers or their beneficiaries so we can give them their benefits.”

You can quickly check if you have unclaimed benefits via https://bit.ly/AIAPH_CheckYourMoney. Simply input the policy owner or beneficiary details and wait for a notification of policy verification.

BDO declares 20% Stock Dividend and hikes Authorized Capital

 

At its Board meeting held on March 26, 2022, the Board of Directors of BDO Unibank, Inc. (BDO) approved the declaration of stock dividends equivalent to 20% of the Bank’s outstanding capital stock, as well as an increase in its authorized capital stock (common shares) from 5,500,000,000 to 8,500,000,000 shares, and the amendment to the Bank’s Articles of Incorporation to reflect the increase. These will be presented and endorsed for approval to stockholders at the Bank’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting to be held virtually on April 22, 2022.

The stock dividend declaration is a testament to BDO’s commitment to continue investing in the business and provide consistent, steady returns and value to its shareholders. Shareholders will gain additional shares which they can keep for the long haul and grow in value, or in case they need liquidity, sell through the stock market at their discretion. The additional shares from the stock dividends will also be eligible for future cash dividends which the Bank regularly declares. Record and payment dates of the stock dividends shall be fixed and disclosed after approval by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, within the periods provided by law.

Meanwhile, the increase in the Bank’s authorized capital stock provides the Bank flexibility to increase its capital during periods of rapid organic growth or in the event of inorganic opportunities. This will allow BDO to continue to expand its business, strengthen its franchise, and deliver quality earnings to position the Bank for long-term sustainable growth.

The Bank’s ability to expand its business is dependent on business conditions and the Bank’s financial position.

Real Estate 101: When to Buy and When to Sell

 

Buying or selling a property is a huge decision that requires a lot of weight behind it. You should be able to sell your property when you're ready, but the market, your finances, and dozens of other items can quickly get in your way. The same goes for those who are eager to buy.

These are the top things to look for when you're considering buying or selling real estate and why they matter!

Your Finances

Are your finances stable? If they're fine, you're safe and don't have to worry about selling as quickly. If, instead, you've been struggling to cover any bills, you must take a step back and consider selling soon. Unfortunately, many homeowners buy without realizing they're digging a deep debt well for themselves. Take the time to explore yourself out of it by selling your property before it can pull you down deeper.

Upcoming Life Changes

Do you have any major life changes expected soon? Are you expecting a partner to move in with you? Are you expecting kids? If you're expecting major life changes, you must be careful about making huge decisions like selling your home. Although it's exciting and you're undoubtedly ready to cut the cord and move on with your life: selling your home is a lot of stress and time-consuming work that you'll have to put into something that may not sell immediately.

Of course, if you're moving, this can complicate things! Just remember it's possible to sell a property from out of state.

The Purpose of the Property

Is this a home that you flipped and you're itching to sell for as much profit as possible, or is this a family home you inherited that you don't want anymore? Either way, it's important to stop and consider whether it's worth rushing to market if you think you'll gain more money down the road. It might be easier to hold onto for family properties, but remember every day you wait is a slight gamble.

The Current Market Value

The market has been transforming quickly lately, with people getting different answers to the question ‘what is my home worth?' within just a day of changes. Because of this, it's a good idea to pay attention to the market trends and be aware of how this could affect your home's value in the near future.

Pay Attention to Interest Rates

Interest rates don’t fluctuate as drastically as they did in the 1980s when they hit a whopping 16%, but they do still fluctuate. So if you're considering getting a mortgage for your property when you buy it, it's vital to look at these interest rates and ask yourself if you can financially handle that or if you want to put it off for a little longer.

Think Through This Major Purchase

Although no average person buys a home on a whim, it's vital to take the time to consider everything about a property and about yourself before making that purchase. Take your time to make sure you're making the best choice for your life.

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).

Pfizer Philippines Foundation and ASSIST partner to promote breast self-examination

 

 

ASSIST and Pfizer Philippines Foundation have partnered for healthcare and educational services for underserved women in the town of Balayan, Batangas. Photo shows the ASSIST team with Councilor Carlos Ermita-Alvarez (4^th from right) during the site visit to Balayan, Batangas.

Keeping with its commitment to promote and enhance public health among local Filipino communities across the country, Pfizer Philippines Foundation, Inc. (PPFI) has partnered with Manila-based international non-governmental organization (INGO) Asia Society for Social Improvement and Sustainable Transformation (ASSIST) for a program called Likayan to raise awareness on breast self-examination (BSE) techniques for early detection of breast cancer.

As part of the partnership, PPFI and ASSIST have begun administering healthcare and educational services to underserved women in the town of Balayan, Batangas. Their efforts mainly involve the teaching of breast self-examination techniques. They are also capacitating and empowering community leaders comprised of teachers, youth leaders, midwives, and healthcare workers, as well as training a network of Community Champions to become Master Trainers and further spread awareness of BSE.

The need for the education and promotion of the practice of BSE, as well as general awareness of breast cancer, follows various findings regarding the illness in the Philippines. Data from the Global Cancer Observatory shows that breast cancer ranks #1 in the Philippines in terms of incidence, with more than 27,000 new cases in 2020.

“BSE is a very important first step in early detection and cure. With early detection, you can stop it right away, and simply do preventative or curative treatment and avoid the suffering,” said ASSIST Executive Director of Projects and Strategy Francis Macatulad.

“We are truly glad to be working with such a proactive and caring organization in ASSIST to help save Filipino lives from the threat of breast cancer. We look forward to more things we can achieve through this partnership, as this is only the beginning of a fruitful endeavor,” said PPFI Executive Director Geof Garcia.

"I want to thank PPFI and ASSIST for this amazing project that will train women and our Barangay Health Workers and help our community in Batangas to be more aware of breast cancer,” said Carlos Ermita Alvarez, Balayan councilor. “We all know that early detection is key. These types of training are not taught at the barangay level so I believe this will be a first in our community. This will definitely help women become more aware and pass the knowledge along to their friends, co-workers, and neighbors. We hope this project can train as many women and BHWs to help prevent breast cancer."

Other efforts and initiatives set out in the partnership include the use of the patient navigation program to promote and safeguard the general health of women from rural and urban poor areas, ultimately aiming to establish a wide network that will help Filipinos and engage stakeholders from the government and private sector to create a sustainable long-term impact.

ASSIST was established in 2003 to address social problems and sustainability challenges in the Asian region. It has evolved today into a self-sustaining international non-profit organization driven by a passion for purpose and progress in the region. The organization embodies the values of professional outlook and social responsibility and seeks to empower target groups and make them resilient to social, economic, and environmental challenges through adopting a process-oriented approach to capacity building.

Pfizer Philippines Foundation, Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit corporation organized to perform charitable and social welfare activities and programs geared towards improving health capacities, education, and awareness. Founded in 1997, PPFI seeks to serve Filipino communities to improve health outcomes for a stronger nation of healthier citizens.

Through collaborations with NGOs and civic welfare groups, the government and its relevant agencies, as well as through the engagement of Pfizer colleagues as volunteers, PPFI aims to innovate, implement, and sustain equity-based programs that will significantly improve Filipinos’ healthcare access.

 

The Invisible Battle: How to Watch Out and Speak Out against Verbal Abuse

 

#SpeakOut

1 out of 4 or 25% of Filipinos, aged 15-49, is revealed to have experienced some form of violence during the ongoing health crisis. This includes verbal abuse, which has become a hidden battle faced by most women regularly.

Verbal abuse can often be confusing not just for the survivors but also for the abusers because it manifests differently—gaslighting, judging, blaming, name-calling, condescension, and verbal threats, among others.

According to the  Gender Watch Against Violence and Exploitation (GWAVE), verbal abuse often contributes to psychological abuse experienced by women and can be penalized as a violation of RA 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004.

“Violence in the homes is not ‘away pamilya’ and is everybody’s concern,” says GWAVE Executive Director, Sheema Bajana-Samson. “People should be vigilant and watch out for signs of abuse through what is heard verbally and body language as well.”

GWAVE is one of many non-government organizations and independent agencies that helps rescue survivors by offering legal assistance and rehabilitation.

“We have survivors also accompany their fellow survivors in hearings, and they do home visitations to other survivors as a form of moral support towards each other.” continues Bajana-Samson. “We’re happy to share that we now have a number of survivors who are emotionally and psychologically ready to become advocates themselves.”

In celebration of International Women’s Month, and the advocacy to build a better world for women, Avon sounds the call to #SpeakOut, take a stand and be more self-aware to help others fight verbal and other forms of abuse.

Based on a global study of more than eight thousand women in eight countries, including the Philippines, found that one in five women are consistently subjected to verbal abuse by an intimate partner. Nearly two in five respondents aged 25-34 are experiencing potential signs of verbal abuse within their relationship - the highest amongst the age groups.

Avon Philippines PR and Communications Head, Marion Limlengco wants to encourage more Filipinos to join dialogues and be more aware of this silent battle that has been affecting more women than actually perceived. “Filipinas are very resilient women, but it turns out, there are some of us who are going through such invisible battles and we don’t even know it. That is why we are tapping a platform where we can freely discuss this issue with no holds barred while still centering on positivity and freedom of expression.”

Avid podcast listeners can also look forward to collaborations with popular podcasts such as

• Adulting with Joyce Pring, (March 25 via Spotify)

• Camp Confidence Radio Podcast with Ayn Bernos and Rizza Lana-Sebastian, (March 30 via Spotify and YouTube)

• The Eve's Drop Podcast feat. Delamar Arias, Monica Francesca Tobias, and Gelli Victor with special guest, Ms. Universe 2015, and Avon Intimate Apparel ambassador, Pia Wurtzbach (March 30 via Spotify)

Everyone is also invited to catch Avon’s collaboration with the live-streaming app, Kumu, where viewers can enjoy talks, performances, and fun challenges—all to foster awareness of verbal abuse and raise funds on behalf of Avon’s partner organizations that help abuse survivors. Here’s the full lineup:

• #SpeakOut Dialogues with Women (March 25 via @kumunityheroes)

• #Speakout Kumunity Challenge (March 28 to April 3)

• #SpeakOut Fundraising Livestream (March 30)

• #SpeakOut Dialogues For All (April 4 via @kumunityheroes)

People are also encouraged to support the cause through our fundraising items like the #SpeakOut Avon True Color Lipstick, Women Empowerment Umbrella, Evita Watch, and Self-love Accessory set available on avonshop.ph where part of the proceeds will be donated to partner organizations including Gender Watch Against Violence and Exploitation (GWAVE), Ing Makababaying Aksyon (IMA) Foundation, and Luna Legal Resources Center for Women and Children.“Through these fundraising efforts, we hope to spark courage and reinforce a sense of community so that no one could feel alone or neglected in their battles. It’s time we shed light on this invisible crisis and we can effectively do that only if and when we #SpeakOut.” concludes Limlengco.

It’s time to redefine a culture where everyone becomes more accountable for the words being said so that no form of abuse—verbal or otherwise—will be tolerated nor pushed against others.

Follow Avon Philippines on Facebook and Instagram for more updates on the scheduled dates of all podcasts and Kumu live streams and join the dialogues against Verbal Abuse. Shop for your favorite Avon products at www.avonshop.ph or contact your local Avon representative.

Stellar artists Dingdong Avanzado, his wife Jessa Zaragoza, and their daughter Jayda had the Alex Theater chockfull of fans from various parts of California, some coming as far as Arizona.

It was clear that the audience has been looking forward to in-person events after staying home these past two years since the pandemic began. Annabel De Leon of Rancho Cucamonga happily declared, “Finally we had the chance to get together and connect.”

Avanzado assured the crowd that their only job that night was to have fun, and fun was had as the concertgoers were treated to an array of songs that took them down memory lane.

The original Prince of Filipino Pop, Avanzado, and his wife, Zaragoza, touted as the Phenomenal Diva of the Philippines, had the audience singing along to their hearts’ content and dancing to the songs that were nostalgic, fun, and familiar.

Their daughter, Jayda, was a revelation herself proving she was an artist of substance as she sang songs from her official debut album. She also accompanied herself, playing the keyboard, and then the guitar, showing proficiency in her craft.

Developing and perfecting her artistry has always been Jayda’s mantra. She explains that for her, the highest form of compliment is when people recognize her artistry, “which is something I work hard at, and I am really proud of.”

Fely Pasamba of Los Angeles enthused that she loved the concert “because I love to dance, and we love Jessa and Dingdong and their daughter.”

Pearl Sarabia of Fontana announced that they had so much fun. “We’ve seen Dingdong before but this one is different because it’s the whole family. It’s a great show!”

And Ed Rame, also from Los Angeles, shared that “you can feel the inspiration that wrapped the entire theater that truly brought so much joy.” He added, “It's a well-conceptualized concert, executed well and performed excellently.”

It was a night of fun and many amazing revelations.

Annabel of Rancho Cucamonga also emphasized how the show was refreshing. “It’s a good reminder that God is always faithful, and they brought that message loud and clear tonight,” she adds.

Audiences have one more chance to experience the fun and learn of the many other discoveries to be brought to light when Revelation goes to Northern California on March 26 at the Fox Theatre, 2215 Broadway, Redwood City, CA 94063. Tickets start at $25. Part of the proceeds for the Fox Theater show will go to the ABS-CBN Foundation International for the continuing rehabilitation efforts for the victims of Super Typhoon Odette.

Cleene CLIO makes Clean Teeth possible for Families This World Oral Health Day 2022

 

On World Oral Health Day, Cleene CLIO invites everyone to celebrate by practicing proper oral healthcare with their families.

A product of proudly Filipino company PHILUSA Corporation, Cleene CLIO has been an ardent supporter of this global oral health initiative, especially with oral care given less priority during the pandemic when accessibility to dentists and visits to oral health facilities were challenging at the height of the lockdowns.

To emphasize the importance of good oral health practices at home, Cleene CLIO has partnered with Manila Water Foundation and Philippine Dental Association to provide oral health kits to various barangays and schools as part of this year’s World Oral Health Day activities. Over 2,000 health kits containing Cleene CLIO toothbrushes and Dental Floss Premium from Cleene CLIO and PHILUSA were distributed to 12 barangays and the chosen hygiene facility in Dinalaonan Elementary School in Pangasinan.

And as a special treat for World Oral Health Day, selected Cleene CLIO products will be sold at 20% off exclusively in Mercury Drug stores nationwide until April 15, 2022.

Cleene CLIO continues to be the partner of every Filipino family in promoting good oral hygiene by offering a wide range of affordable and quality toothbrushes.

Cleene CLIO toothbrushes are made with MicroFine Soft Bristles that help penetrate and clean hard-to-reach areas for better interdental cleaning and a gentle brushing experience. The tapered bristles penetrate between teeth and gums for a thorough cleaning, while the rounded shape of the bristles removes plaque and prevents teeth and gum damage.

There is a Cleene CLIO toothbrush for every member of the family that is affordable and has world-class quality. For those wanting extra care and protection for your teeth, Cleene CLIO offers its Refreshing Green Tea and Ultimax Charcoal under their Special care line.

Digital Payments Seen To Boost Post-covid Economic Growth And Recovery

The limitation of face-to-face interaction during the COVID-19 pandemic led most businesses and employers to find recourse in digital technologies to keep their operations running. The pandemic has been truly disruptive for industries. However, it also brought out opportunities that made options such as remote work, automation, and data-driven decision-making, among others, immediately feasible. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of technologies that could also ensure continuous growth and recovery in the new normal.

Among the most notable technologies that have seen growth during the pandemic is that of cash management services. BDO Senior Vice President and Cash Management System Head Carlo Nazareno explained that the importance of effective Cash Management Services (CMS), especially for SMEs, became undeniable during the pandemic.

“Cash management consists of the strategies and processes that allow businesses, from SMEs to the top 500 or top 50 corporations, to move cash around, to control cash flow. This includes the flow of money from customers to businesses and from businesses to their suppliers, and vice-versa,” he said.

Aligning business operations with consumer needs 

Globally, businesses have been investing in technologies to make their operations much smarter and most of the developments they introduce are to accommodate the demands created by new consumer behavior.

BDO Senior Vice President and Cash Management System Head Carlo Nazareno 

“Global trend for digital payments looks at what the customer is doing and what makes their lives easier. Now, countries are investing in making payments faster or in real-time. Real-time is the norm. No longer is the usual three-day clearing acceptable. Additionally, open finance and open banking are gaining traction, especially in technologically-advanced countries. Open finance means data is given openly to third-party providers so that they can use data for forecasting or for other means to make services quicker. As most consumers are used to accessing information real-time, open finance and real-time and faster payments allow them to access money in the same way,” Nazareno explained.

CMS allows businesses to transact easily and conveniently with their customers by also allowing for safe, secure, and real-time digital payments.  During the pandemic, businesses that can accommodate digital payments were more poised not only to sustain their operations but to also register growth.

Nazareno believes that digital and non-digital cash management systems will continue to be the norm in the coming few years. “SMEs in the Philippines, I am glad to say, have been very open for the most part to these developments in cash flow and cash management. Cash, face-to-face, and personal transactions will never disappear. However, the digital forms of these transactions will become a greater part of our new normal. We’ve had a taste of these benefits and advantages and we’re prepared to embrace them. For me, that’s a major part of the hopeful outlook for 2022,” Nazareno added.

Empowering crucial sectors for economic growth 

There are about 106,000 small enterprises in the country. Nazareno said it’s the small and medium enterprises that have the most dynamism, capital, and other resources that will help move the economy forward to recovery.

With the benefits that CMS can bring to businesses, BDO has been helping more SMEs with greater vigor during the pandemic. BDO offers reliable digital and non-digital cash management services for its clients. SMEs turned to BDO to set up online banking and online payment platforms. They also availed of automated check writing facilities, ATM payrolls, cash deposit machines (similar to an ATM but for businesses instead of individual depositors), cash deposit pick-up services (via armored vans), and other cash management services.

“Through these partnerships between SMEs and BDO, many businesses survived the pandemic and had the chance not only to stay open but to even experience modest to moderate growth during the pandemic. These past two years have been the best evidence that digital and non-digital cash management services help boost business growth,” Nazareno added.

BDO’s efforts to roll out CMS to businesses, especially to SMEs are aligned with the government's initiatives to boost economic growth and recovery in the new normal. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) launched its Digital Payments Transformation Roadmap 2020-2023 to provide policy directions as to how businesses and government can work together to convert 50% of the total volume of retail payments to digital.

Building an ecosystem 

BSP noted in its roadmap that the majority of Filipino consumers and businesses still prefer over-the-counter (OTC) transactions, citing that only one out of ten adults use their mobile phones for their financial transactions. Nazareno narrated that many of BDO’s clients went back to transacting in their branches and ATMs when the government eased its lockdown and quarantine restrictions.

Nazareno attributed these observed behaviors to the need for a more efficient digital payment ecosystem in the country. Going back to global trends on digital payments, businesses, banks, and the government have to work together to make digital financial transactions secure, faster, in real time, and more open.

“How we make information is important for us to promote a more transparent and reliable system not only for digital payments but also for inventories and supply chains. People want to know how things are moving and how things reach their intended destination securely,” Nazareno noted.

BDO ramped up with its efforts to diversify its cash management products. During the pandemic, it launched the BDO Pay, the bank’s own e-wallet, so that its users can go cashless with their financial transactions. With the app, those with BDO accounts can send money, pay bills, and request payment online. Aside from partnering with businesses to establish their own CMS, BDO expands the base of Filipinos who are comfortable using digital payments by allowing online opening of bank accounts.

“The entire ecosystem of how money moves around between where you have it and where you want it to be for you to have access to the services you want is not yet smooth. But BDO Pay makes things simpler because it automatically links your card and your bank account to an e-wallet. There’s no need to fund your e-wallet because it’s funded all the time,” Nazareno added.

As more banks roll out initiatives to make digital payments more seamless, more Filipinos may find ways to access financial products easier. In the end, Nazareno believes that it is the consumers who will benefit from these developments. As banks are being challenged to innovate and adopt newer technologies, it is the ordinary Filipino who gets to enjoy more options and more freedom on how to earn and spend their money.

Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz, may payo sa Overseas Filipinos na nais magnegosyo

Bilang isang first-time small business owner, at ngayon ay business management scholar, may ilang tips si Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz para sa gustong negosyo.

Una, araling mabuti ang negosyong papasukin. Mag research muna tungkol sa pagnenegosyo. 

“Mas okay na alam natin ‘yong pinapasok nating business. Dapat pinag-aaralan muna.” kwento ni Hidilyn.

Pangalawa, humanap ng mentor sa pagnenegosyo. Sa propesyon ni Hidilyn na weightlifting, mayroon siyang coach na gumagabay. Ganon din sa pagnenegosyo. 

Pangatlo, alamin ang mga oportunidad para sa negosyo.  Ang additional capital ay hindi kailangan manggaling lamang sa savings o sa kamag-anak at kaibigan. Maaari ring kumuha ng pondo mula sa bangko. 

Ayon kay BDO Network Bank (BDONB)  senior vice president at MSME group head Karen Cua, "Ang BDONB ay bangko para sa micro-entrepreneurs. Sa tulong ng aming Kabuhayan Loan, napopondohan namin ang pangangailan ng negosyante sa kanilang business operation at expansion.”

Pio Conti

Tulad ng ginawa ni Pio Conti ng Laguna, ginamit niya ang Kabuhayan Loan para bumili ng additional stocks ng paninda.

Yolanda Arranquez

Para kina Yolanda Arranquez at asawang OFW, malaking tulong ang Kabuhayan Loan para madagdagan ang kita. 

Malaking tulong ang BDO Network Bank Kabuhayan Loan kina Pio Conti ng Laguna at Yolanda Arranquez ng Davao  para mapalago ang kanilang negosyo at matupad ang kanilang mga pangarap.

Para sa iba pang impormasyon tungkol sa Kabuhayan Loan, bumisita sa pinakamalapit na BDO Network Bank branch, o mag-inquire sa BDO Network Bank PH official Facebook page o sa BDO Network Bank website.
