How Puregold's success led to Filipinos’ “panalo" stories in the past 25 years

Over the last 25 years, Puregold has constantly affirmed its presence in the retail industry, crediting its endurance to the patronage and trust of everyday customers that walk through their storefront doors, as well as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that extend Puregold’s reach to different communities.
As it celebrates its 25th anniversary, Puregold wants to put the focus on the Panalo Stories of every Puregold patron.

Still, the retailer believes that even as it thrives in the unstinting support of its patrons, its legacy is one that involves enabling Filipinos to succeed.

It is this core value in the heart of Puregold that has inspired infinite “panalo” stories. The supermarket chain’s operations have paved the way to thousands of job opportunities, and have continuously served sari-sari store owners and SMEs that need a reliable, cost-effective, and high-quality goods supplier.
Vincent Co, President of Puregold Priceclub Inc., believes that Puregold’s biggest accomplishment has been giving back to the community and helping local businesses blossom.

That Puregold helps Filipinos achieve their everyday wins is something the company takes a lot of pride in, says Vincent Co, President of Puregold Price Club, Inc. “You have to celebrate the wins,” Vincent asserts, “and for us, there is no greater win than giving back to our customers who have helped us get to where we have been these last 25 years.”

Vincent hopes that with over 440 branches nationwide, and more than 700,000 sari-sari store members behind them, Puregold will continue to generate more panalo stories for the Filipino people.
Puregold is the retailer of choice for many small and medium enterprises, all of whom have built their own individual Panalo Stories.

“As we look back on the last 25 years, and look forward to the next 25 years, we want Puregold to be a permanent symbol of support for the Philippines,” Vincent states. “We will strive to keep expanding and continue helping local communities and SMEs.”

A
fter a highly successful premiere on the Puregold Channel, romantic-comedy series ‘Ang Babae Sa Likod ng Face Mask’ continues to excite in its upcoming second episode as interesting developments unravel in the life of its lead characters.

The premiere garnered thousands of views online as romcom fans flocked to see the budding romance between Herlene Budol’s Malta and Joseph Marco’s Sieg. In the premiere we got to know Malta, a young woman who is labelled “hipon.” Malta works at a local café to help pay the mounting household bills and support her mother, a struggling vlogger named Madam Baby, played by Mickey Ferriols.

While working at the café, Malta runs into Sieg, a handsome young man who is smarting from a recent breakup. Enchanted by Malta’s beautiful eyes, Sieg is immediately smitten.

Viewers excitedly gushed about the new series, noting the strong chemistry between the duo. Marife Dayro wrote, “Grabeee, lakas maka-good vibes at kilig much sa tambalang Herlene Budol at Joseph Marco!”

Other fans chimed in, complimenting the perfect pairing of Herlene and Joseph. “Ganda NG chemistry nila bagy n bagy cla ❤ luv it!” Mark Anthony Agustin commented,

The wonderful performance of Herlene—and those of the rest of the cast—stood out. “Grabe ang galing galing na ni Hipon when it comes sa acting, at ang ganda ganda na din niya,” an obviously thrilled Jamaica Surtido noted. Meanwhile, viewer Chiarina Mosquito praised the entire cast by writing, “Yayy!! I super love Herlene and all the cast. Bravo ang gagaling nila. Nakakatanggal ng stress, nakakatuwa panoorin.”

However, one sentiment clearly stood out as viewers expressed their support for ‘Ang Babae Sa Likod ng Face Mask’. As Michelle Bernardo put it in YouTube, “Cant wait for the next episode!!!”
Malta works to pay the bills at home as her mother focuses on vlogging.

Madam Baby owns and operates her own sari-sari store.
 
Where Episode 1 showed how Malta and Sieg hit it off from the start, the upcoming episode will bare the emotional conflicts that could get in the way of their happiness. Will Malta and Sieg have a chance on friendship? Or relationship? Will they meet again?
Malta eagerly anticipates Sieg potentially returning to the café.

Sieg finds himself searching for Malta online.

Madam Baby’s struggle to pay the bills continues in episode 2.

Will Sieg find out what Malta is hiding?

More details about Sieg’s past will come to the surface in episode 2.

Puregold, GCash launch cash-in, payment via barcode

Industry leaders Puregold, Globe and GCash have worked together to launch another innovative mobile-based service that will enhance their customers’ experience nationwide—the Cash-In via Barcode and Payment via Barcode.

The two services will be available in 368 Puregold branches all over the country, marking another milestone in the partnership between the three companies who have pioneered digital innovations in retail, telecommunications and financial technology in the Philippines. 



“Our goal here is simple: make life easier, more convenient and more secure for our users through fintech. We cannot think of a better way to do this than with Puregold, whose supermarkets serve millions of Filipinos by providing what they need for their homes and businesses,” said JM Aujero, Chief Commercial Officer for Payments at Mynt, the company behind GCash.

To use cash-in via barcode, Puregold shoppers can go to the cashier, choose cash in, open their GCash app, and enter the amount they wish to load into their mobile wallet. The cashier scans their phones showing the Puregold barcode and collects the payment. Both customer and cashier receive confirmation of their transaction via text.

GCash, the Philippines’ leading mobile wallet, expects a huge proportion of its 20-million user base will benefit from the Cash-In via Barcode and Payment via Barcode every month, as Puregold is one of the country’s biggest supermarket chains. It was also the first national supermarket chain to accept mobile payments via GCash.

“Puregold and GCash have been long-time partners in providing useful innovations to Filipinos. By tapping Puregold checkout counters as cash-in points, we encourage more people to discover and enjoy the convenience of going cashless,” Fred Levy, Mynt’s Chief Commercial Officer for Transfers, said. 

GCash and Puregold already introduced the GCash Scan to Pay (STP) via Barcode, a barcode scanning payment scheme integrated into Puregold’s point of sale (POS) in July. It continues to facilitate transactions and improve both merchant and customer experience.

Aside from cash-in and payment via barcode, GCash users can also pay bills and cash out at Puregold branches. The supermarket chain is also the top merchant partner for which GCredit, the trust score based, fully mobile credit line of GCash, is used.

Puregold is 1st national supermarket chain to accept mobile payments via GCash scan to pay

Mobile payments pioneer GCash has partnered with Puregold, one of the country's biggest supermarket chains, to implement quick response or QR payments acceptance starting at Puregold Qi Central in Quezon City. 

This marks Puregold’s shift towards embracing modern and convenient payment methods and makes Puregold the first national supermarket chain to accept GCash QR.

The GCash QR scan to pay feature is now accepted in 233 Puregold stores in Metro Manila and nationwide. With over 300 stores nationwide, the supermarket chain has been an inspiration for close to two decades in serving all classes of Filipinos with its vast array of products, ranging from consumables, apparel, and even household equipment.

“Puregold has been in partnership with the GCash team for the past five years and we always believe in the capabilities of their people. We also know that GCash Scan to Pay is the next big thing to hit the Philippine retail market. By being a first-mover, we stand to gain competitive advantage in the market,” said Ferdinand Vincent P. Co, President of Puregold Price Club, Inc.

Co added that since they have customers who already use the GCash cash-in services in Puregold stores, GCash Scan to Pay will be very beneficial to them.  “We wanted to offer the full GCash service to our customers as a way of educating them about secure, cashless shopping. We have already tested GCash Scan to Pay in our affiliate company, My Baby Planet, and we are able to see how easy and convenient it is to use.”

“GCash is working hard to change the landscape of how Filipinos usually pay for their purchases to eliminate the pain points of payments such as the hassle of bringing money, waiting for change, or getting into misunderstandings over payments. We want everyone to experience the convenience of using GCash for their everyday needs -- from buying load, paying bills, sending money, and now with supermarkets like Puregold, you can just scan to pay using your phone,” said Anthony Thomas, President and CEO of Mynt which operates GCash.

To use the scan to pay feature of the GCash App, customers only need to download or update the GCash App in their iPhone or Android smartphone, register for an account and load their GCash wallet in any of the 12,000 GCash partner outlets nationwide, including Globe Stores and all Puregold branches. Once done, they only need to point the phone’s camera at the GCash QR code at the Puregold cashier counter, and input the amount to be paid. Goodbye coins, hello easier grocery shopping!

Celebrating its 20th year, Puregold shoppers who will use GCash Scan to Pay will be eligible to join the weekly 100% cashback promo and the grand raffle promo, wherein GCash will raffle off an iPhone X, a motorcycle, an entertainment system, an appliance package, sari-sari store package and more cell phones. On top of that, GCash users of Puregold will also be eligible for the 10 percent rebate promo when they scan to pay with GCash at Puregold until March 31, 2018.

GCash, which is operated by Mynt, a fintech company owned by Globe Telecom, Ant Financial and Ayala Corp., has been aggressively campaigning to its partners for cashless payment systems using the GCash App scan to pay feature.

"As Christmas draws nearer, more and more of our kababayans who work and live abroad come home to be with their loved ones. There is nothing like spending Christmas with family in the Philippines, going to Simbang Gabi, enjoying traditional Filipino goodies, and gathering for the Noche Buena feast. We at Globe, and our partners, wanted to share this joy and appreciation to our hardworking OFWs as well as to welcome tourists with our signature Filipino hospitality," said Jurist Gamban, Vice-President for Strategic Marketing for Globe International Business Group.
