Bringing banking services closer to the community: Women MSMEs turn livelihood programs into ‘Automated Tao Machines’

Tweet

A group of resilient mothers from a remote mining community in Surigao del Norte turned their livelihood programs into a channel that brings banking services closer to the community. Through BDO Unibank's agency banking channel, Cash Agad, they proved that women can inspire and lead change even in the most remote areas.

The Siana Golden Mothers Association comprises mothers from Barangay Siana, Mainit, Surigao del Norte who are beneficiaries of the government’s Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). In addition to relying on their 4Ps benefits, Siana Golden Mothers was determined to find livelihood opportunities for its members to become successful business owners.

The birth of an initiative

In 2018, when a nearby mining company offered support to livelihood programs, Minda Ajoc,a devoted mother who worked for years assisting barangay nurses in caring for young children in Barangay Siana, joined hands with fellow mothers to form Siana Golden Mothers. They guided the group through early livelihood ventures such as swine production.

This is when they also decided to become partner agents of Cash Agad, a service offered by BDO to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), organizations and local establishments in rural and hard-to-reach communities where bank branches and ATM access are limited to non-existent. The partner agents will then become the “ATM” or Automated Tao Machines in their community and allow cash withdrawal services, balance inquiry, cash-in and bills payment and other basic banking transactions through the point-of-sale devices at their stores.

These women saw an opportunity for their association to be a Cash Agad agent, bringing financial services closer while creating a sustainable income source and providing remittance and photocopying services to the community.

Lifeline for Barangay Siana

“Malaking tulong sa amin ang Cash Agad, lalo na’t malayo kami sa city. Madami itong natulungan at nabigyan ng access sa kanilang pera. Nakakatulong ito na mai-angat namin ang aming komunidad,” Minda said. (Cash Agad has been an enormous help, especially since we live far from the city. It has helped a lot of people get access to their funds. This has enable us to uplift our community).

In line with its commitment to fostering financial inclusion, BDO finds it encouraging that Cash Agad is creating a sense of financial empowerment for women in Mindanao.

"Our partnership with the Siana Golden Mother’s Association reflects BDO’s commitment to supporting grassroots communities, especially women, who play a vital role in driving local progress,” said Jaime Nasol, Senior Vice President of the Consumer Banking Group at BDO Unibank. “Through programs like Cash Agad, we aim to bring financial services closer to remote areas, enabling individuals and associations to build sustainable livelihoods and create meaningful change within their communities.”

As the Siana Golden Mothers Association continues to grow, BDO and Cash Agad, with its more than 12,000 partner agents, are exploring further ways to support similar initiatives, helping more communities to access essential financial services, and promoting a future of financial stability for all.

Hope and Light: DigiPlus, BingoPlus Foundation Delivers Resilience in Action in South Luzon

Tweet

DigiPlus Interactive, through its social development arm, BingoPlus Foundation, continued efforts in promoting resilience in vulnerable communities by bringing its KabuhayanPLUS program in South Luzon regions. Anchoring on disaster response and sustainable livelihood, the Foundation delivered solar solutions in Mangyan Indigenous People (IP) communities in Mindoro and financial assistance to typhoon victims in Bicol Region as part of post-disaster recovery initiatives.

DigiPlus and BingoPlus Foundation delivers solar solutions in remote communities and recovery assistance to disaster-stricken families, as part of its KabuhayanPLUS resilience program.

Lighting Up IP Communities of Mindoro

Bright lights and bright smiles spread across the Mangyan Indigenous People (IP) community as BingoPlus Foundation trekked the mountains of Manalansay, Oriental Mindoro to provide solar lights and solar generators in response to Samahan ng Magbubukid ng Manaul or SaMa Manaul’s request for assistance to solve their electricity problems.

From the challenge of completing housework and studies in the dark, Mangyan households now benefit from solar powered lights from BingoPlus Foundation.

According to IP residents of Manaul, the lack of electricity has impacted their ability to maximize hours to produce their handicraft and other forms of livelihood. Children must also study despite the dark, reading by the furnace or with only a flashlight. Communications is also dependent on the ability to travel to the town proper to charge mobile phones.

“Even if I want to finish my work, I can’t because I can only work until there is light. As a mother, it really pains me to see my kids not being able to accomplish their requirements in school because it’s too dark to work at night,” said Liza Gayot, who’s been a long-time resident of Manaul. “I’m thankful for BingoPlus Foundation because you are the light of our life and home,” said Gayot. “After 20 years, we finally have lights in our own homes,” she added.

BingoPlus Foundation delivers its promise of supporting the Mangyan IP community’s decades-long challenge with electricity in the mountains of Mindoro.

Bringing Hope to Typhoon Victims in Bicol Region

Meanwhile, BingoPlus Foundation concluded its commitment to provide financial assistance to bereaved families of Super Typhoon Kristine, as part of a Php37 Million pledge initiated since November 2024. From January to February 2025, the Foundation collaborated with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office V in Bicol Region to provide financial aid to 74 affected families from Camarines Sur, Albay, Sorsogon, Catanduanes and Masbate.

DSWD Assistant Secretary Paul Ledesma and DSWD Regional Director Norman Laurio join BingoPlus Foundation Executive Director Angela Camins-Wieneke in a turnover ceremony in Pili, Camarines Sur.

The DSWD also donated family food packs, drinking water, hygiene supplies and first aid kits. The turnover ceremony held in Pili, Camarines Sur was joined by DSWD Assistant Secretary for Regional Operations Paul Ledesma and DSWD Bicol Regional Director Norman Laurio.

Janette Ojeda, a mother who lost her eldest son because of Typhoon Kristine, received her financial aid as she tries to continue living her life despite the tragedy she went through.

“Our hearts go out to all the families affected by Typhoon Kristine,” said Angela Camins-Wieneke, Executive Director of BingoPlus Foundation. “While the typhoon has since passed, the loss of loved ones – many of whom were breadwinners – is an additional burden to bear in the journey to recovery.” According to beneficiaries, the financial assistance of Php250,000 will be used not only for house repairs, but also to sustain the education of orphaned children and daily household needs of families left behind.

Tweet

Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series  is set to make a return to the Philippines to once again bring the world’s best cliff divers to the breathtaking shores of El Nido, Palawan, happening on April 11 to 13. This marks the Philippines’ second time to host the opening stop of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, the first one being held in 2019.

Set against the towering limestone cliffs and crystal-clear waters of Palawan, the 2025 season opener of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series promises high-flying action with fearless performances from top global diving athletes with the unparalleled natural beauty of El Nido as the backdrop.

Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series Pushes Limits

The competition is bringing together 24 of the world’s elite divers who are challenged to push the boundaries of human potential. The 12 divers joining the men’s category include Great Britain’s Aidan Heslop, Italy’s Andrea Barnaba, Spain’s Carlos Gimeno, Romania’s Constantin Popovici, USA’s James Lichtenstein, Ukraine’s Oleksiy Prygorov, as well as Mexico’s Sergio Guzman and Yolotl Martinez. On the other hand, the 12 divers for the women’s category include Italy’s Elisa Cosetti, Netherlands’ Ginni van Katwijk, USA’s Kaylea Arnett and Meili Carpenter, Canada’s Molly Carlson and Simone Leathead, Ukraine’s Nelli Chukanivska, and Australia’s Rhiannan Iffland.

Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series sets itself apart from the Olympic dive by challenging participants to dive from a height of 27 meters, for male divers, and 21 meters, for female divers. Meanwhile, Olympic divers jump from a stationary platform at a height of about 10 meters above water. They will hit speeds of about 85km/h before slicing into the waters below. These breathtaking descents demand exceptional precision, courage, and mental fortitude as athletes transform vertical drops into awe-inspiring displays of human capability.

El Nido’s dramatic cliffs provide the perfect stage for the extreme sporting event, while also presenting a formidable challenge. The combination of natural rock formations, shifting weather conditions, and open water creates an unpredictable environment that tests the skill and adaptability of each diver.
