Send a child to school with TravelBook.ph and World Vision

Sadly, it has been a common scenario—seeing children along sidewalks with no shelter while others cross the streets to knock on car windows and beg for money. 

It will probably take forever to eradicate poverty in the Philippines, but we cannot deny that small acts of kindness can go a long way. You can do your part by participating in creative initiatives from corporate partnership programs that you can access anytime and anywhere with your computer or smartphone and will not cost you a lot.

Hotel and tour booking mobile application and website TravelBook.ph, through its partnership with World Vision Philippines, has been helping send kids to school through their “Donation for Education” project. When booking a room in their favorite hotel for their vacation, customers can donate as little as PHP 1.00, which will go to the child sponsorship and culture of reading program of World Vision Philippines. 

TravelBook.ph has also supported World Vision Philippines through efforts in designing Disaster Risk Mitigation Program for public schools in Isabela in 2017 and Lakbay Pag-asa in North Cotabato this 2018.

TravelBook.ph believes that “The most valuable means to nurture a child is to create a community that is both safe and resilient. When a child is provided with life’s basic necessities, has access to education, and is empowered for a holistic development, everyone takes a step forward to an improved society.” 

Small acts of kindness, when put together, create a huge and lasting impact, and with the numerous opportunities—both online and offline—to contribute, maybe eradicating poverty completely can be a reality.

Leading mobile money provider shakes industry by offering first-in-nation innovation 

Remittances (a way of sending money) are a staple of Filipino culture, especially with lots of families depending on the money of their loved ones for sustenance. No matter where you are in the country, you’ll see remittance centers that offer these services from Metro Manila to anywhere in the Philippines, usually with a fee based on a percentage of the total amount to be sent. GCash realized that for these people, every peso counts, and that’s why they made sending and withdrawing money through the GCash ecosystem free. 

In a nation-first, the country’s leading mobile wallet provider GCash shakes up the local money remittance scene by innovating a free end-to-end remittance experience for their customers. 

GCash users can send money to other users anywhere in the Philippines for free via the GCash App, via the @gcashofficial Messenger official account, or by dialing *143# on their Globe or TM– from Luzon to Mindanao. In turn, the receiver can use their GCash Mastercard to withdraw at over 20,000 BancNet- or Mastercard-supported ATMs nationwide for FREE*, or cash-out PHP 20,000 per transaction on over 10,000 GCash Partner Outlets as well. ATM withdrawal fees from other financial service providers cost as high as PHP 20.00, while traditional remittance centers charge as high as PHP 500.00 for send money transactions around PHP 40,000. 

“Pinadalhan ako ng pera ng anak ko pambili ng gamot, dahil sa GCash walang bayad magpadala. No hidden charges, di nabawasan ang pera ko," said Bong Yusingco, a worker located in Quezon City. He was previously receiving his son’s remittances from a brick-and-mortar remittance center, but is now using GCash exclusively. 

Justine Concepcion, a private employee in Taguig City, is also utilizing the GCash App for other uses aside from money withdrawals, and said, “Any payment has been easy since I used GCash. I can pay my bills and enjoy my shopping without bringing my wallet! It is very convenient to use the GCash App and I save time! Not only that, I can withdraw money using my GCash Mastercard without getting charged.” 

“Sending and withdrawing money through the GCash platform is in line with Mynt’s drive for financial inclusion and enabling the unbanked. Through this, Filipinos can enjoy the services for free anywhere in the country, and ultimately show love to people who matter to them the most,” said Mynt’s President and CEO Anthony Thomas. Mynt is the operating company of GCash. 

Getting a GCash account is easy. Just download the GCash App for free from the App Store or from Google Play and sign up for an account. Alternatively, you can look for @gcashofficial on Messenger and sign up. 

Customers can get a GCash Mastercard by ordering online at www.gcash.com/mc-store/orders to be delivered to their location, or by going to participating Globe Stores with GCash Caravans, for as low as PHP 150. 

To fund their GCash account, a user can visit over 16,000 GCash Partner Outlets nationwide, like 7-Eleven, SM Business Centers, Robinsons Business Centers, Puregold branches, and Villarica Pawnshop branches, and tell the cashier to cash-in to their GCash account. Cashing-in to a GCash account is free.

The King of Primetime Coco Martin stars in a new action thriller – this time, in the newest television commercial (TVC) of Mang Inasal, the leading Pinoy restaurant that serves the 2-in-1 sa Laki, Nuot-sa-Ihaw Sarap Chicken Inasal. 

The 15-seconder TVC features Martin in his element doing his usual heart-stopping stunts, while braving blazing fire and cinders. 

And all of these are set in a Mang Inasal store’s kitchen, where the real action really happens - flames and flavors combine to create the ultimate nuot sa ihaw sarap of the country’s most-loved chicken inasal. 

Mang Inasal Marketing Head Aileen Natividad said the latest Mang Inasal TVC reflects the exciting experience of customers whenever they savor Mang Inasal Chicken Inasal’s “exploding flavors.” 

“Our new TVC showcases our Chicken Inasal’s explosion of flavors, because we grill it in such a way that our special marinade not just coats but permeates the entire chicken. So whenever you have a bite of our Chicken Inasal, you will get thrilled with its perfectly grilled taste,” she said. 

Mang Inasal’s Chicken Inasal is prepared using a unique recipe, where choice cuts of guaranteed high-quality chicken are soaked in a special marinade made out of local secret spices, carefully skewered and grilled the Mang Inasal way. 

Further endearing Mang Inasal to Pinoys are the restaurant’s homey, grillery ambiance and pioneering unlimited serving of rice for all its Paborito meals. It also allows diners to savor the No.1 chicken inasal with special condiments, like chicken oil, which makes Mang Inasal meals even more flavorful.
