Maya accelerates 'digi-palengke' thrust in Mindanao BSP-DILG’s Paleng-QR Ph launched in Davao City today

November 27, 2022



Maya, the country's only all-in-one money app, is transforming Davao City's biggest Bankerohan Public Market with the launch of the Paleng-QR PH initiative in Mindanao today.
Spearheading the "digi-palengke" program is Davao City Government with the support of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). Also supporting the launch are PLDT and Smart Communications.

BSP Governor Felipe Medalla and Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte led the ceremonies held today at the city's Bankerohan Public Market.

"By promoting the interoperable QR PH national standard codes, Paleng-QR PH creates a simple but more powerful digital finance experience at the local community level. At Maya, we fully support Davao City's vision to build a stronger digital ecosystem," said Orlando Vea, Maya CEO and Founder and Maya Bank Co-Founder.
“Basta QR PH, pwede kami sa Maya,” Vea added.

The Paleng-QR Ph program aims to digitalize transactions starting with public markets and local transportation. The program enables vendors and tricycle drivers to accept digital payments from customers regardless of their e-wallet or bank accounts via QR Ph, the national standard for QR payment. Maya's QR codes are QR Ph-compliant, and its app can scan any QR Ph-powered transaction.

Creating digi-palengkes is part of Maya’s own LGUs Embracing and Accelerating Digitalization (L.E.A.D). Through this program, Maya equips local governments like Davao City with business-in-a-box payment acceptance solutions and disbursement tools to enable faster public service delivery.

Maya is the first digital financial services platform to adopt QR Ph. More than 52 million users can enjoy a seamless experience using Maya's consumer platforms that can send and accept P2P payments from other QR Ph-participating financial institutions.
Meanwhile, non-Maya users can pay at over 800,000 QR Ph-enabled Maya merchants, which are present in 96% of the total cities and municipalities.

The BSP's OR Ph initiative is part of the overall financial services transformation roadmap of the Philippines. It aims to raise Filipinos' trust in digital financial services, as consumers and enterprises will get used to sending and receiving cashless payments for everyday transactions.

Maya's full support to QR PH is in line with the BSP's thrust to increase the share of Filipino adults with a financial account from 56% in 2021 to 70% in 2023 and grow the volume of digital payments from 20% in 2021 to 50% by next year.

"Digital payment is the entry point of Filipinos to the financial system. As they build their financial footprint, consumers and MSMEs can access more progressive digital banking services offered by Maya," said Vea.

Maya has made it easier for consumers to spend, save, get credit, and invest in crypto just by using its top-rated all-in-one money app. Its merchant partners, meanwhile, can open a business deposit account and access revolving credit lines leveraging their payment transactions.

The hosts highlighted the RVS-Q245NS, an even bigger Instaview model, the RVT-B149BS and the RVT-B145PZ, two similar, high-performance top freezers with a sleek and modern silhouette that fits any lifestyle, and the RVT-B119DG, which is the perfect ref for smaller spaces.

They also showed how the different LG smart appliances can be monitored through the Home Dashboard on LG TVs.


LG’s Managing Director Mr. Sungjae Kim was in a festive mood during the event, saying “We at LG know how much Filipinos love Christmas time and how it’s the season to reward the family or one’s self with much needed tech upgrades…With LG, it’s never too early to get your Christmas wishlist.”

7 LESSONS ON PERSONAL FINANCE AND MANIFESTING DREAMS FROM CES DRILON AND FWD EXPERTS

November 25, 2022






Financial lessons carry more weight when they are from people who learned them the hard way—through struggle, years of hard work and persistence. During FWD Life Insurance’s Manifesters Roundtable FB livestream, hosted by Edric Mendoza, multimedia journalist and entrepreneur Ces Oreña-Drilon shared inspiring nuggets of wisdom that’ll help you build and manifest your dreams. With her were FWD leaders in various fields: Chief Agency Officer Jun Marasigan, Head of Investment Operations Michelle Lumabi, Senior Regional Sales Director Alvin Jade Rivano, Senior Area Sales Head Edison Brian Rivera, Area Sales Head Evalyn Oasan, and financial advisors Lester Reyes, Catherine Joy Go-Mendoza, and Joel Salazar.

Since she became an entrepreneur, Ces has been inspiring people to manifest their dreams, which they may have put on the backburner because of so many excuses. But what people don’t realize is they can already start and slowly build their dreams.  


Ces Drilon, Edric Mendoza, and FWD Life Insurance experts shared nuggets of wisdom about investing and manifesting dreams. 



We all know that working hard is one of the most important ingredients to manifesting one’s dreams, but there is so much more to the journey: personal reasons that range from family to being inspired by one’s parents (or children), and having the right mindset. Another vital ingredient that people don’t always consider is financial security. When you know you’re financially protected, you have the courage to live your dreams. 

Here are our top 7 takeaways from the virtual roundtable discussion livestreamed on FWDPH Facebook Page: 

 1. Let the “why” and “who” of your dreams drive you, not just the “what.”
It’s not just about the “how” of success but also the “why.” Why do you work so hard? Most people work hard not just for themselves, but for their family to have a comfortable life, to finance their children’s education, to help take care of their aging parents, to be able to afford a bigger house, to enjoy life and not just let it pass you by. When you feel like giving up on these dreams, remind yourself why and for whom all your goals are. 

 2. You don’t have to dream alone. Share your goals with loved ones.  
“It’s very important to share your plans with your family,” Jun Marasigan said. “Next, you need to consult experts who know how you can achieve your goals. With my first insurance plan when I wasn’t in the industry yet, I consulted an expert on how I can financially prepare for the future because of what happened to my father, who passed away when I was young.” 

Jun revealed that he comes from humble beginnings as his parents were from fishing and farming families. His dad died when Jun was only 22. “My father was the sole breadwinner of eight children; my mom was a housewife. I was so amazed that my father was insured. A family man with eight children was still able to think of protecting his life and his wife. To me, that’s love and responsibility. I was so inspired by that.”

Letting your family dream with you is one way to keep those very dreams alive. “Sometimes people give up when they feel they don’t have someone supporting them,” Lester Reyes added. “It’s important that aside from believing you can do it, others believe in you too. If your dream is to build a financially secure future, consult a trusted financial professional because we’ve already done this, we’ve studied this and can make recommendations on investing.”

 3. Learn from your mentors. 
Even for Ces Drilon, who’s achieved so much in her broadcasting career, nothing came easy. As a fledgling reporter, she had to work hard to learn how to talk from the field, but she also had people that mentored her by example. “You follow people who have succeeded before you. For me, it was pioneers Tina Monzon-Palma and Cheche Lazaro.” 

She added, “Success doesn’t come overnight. You have to work at it. Tiyaga. People think reporting is so glamorous, but a lot of time it’s spent waiting, researching.”  

It’s no different in her second career as an entrepreneur. She continues to study how successful people who came before her managed to grow their business and their wealth. You may not have the same resources as your business idols, but you can try to emulate their habits and philosophy about money. 

Don’t worry about how little you know about the ins and outs of financial planning right now. Treat your financial advisor as your mentor. Experts such as FWD’s financial advisors can help guide you on how you can manifest your dreams faster and more securely. They’re here for dreamers like you who have the burning desire to achieve goals but aren’t sure how to do it. 

 4. Be patient. 
Manifesting one’s dreams takes time, which requires patience. If you have the opportunity to focus on your dreams now, do it and count yourself lucky because not everyone can. 

Ces is an example of that. For many years, she dreamt of spending more time on a farm but just couldn’t when she was still working for a TV station. During the pandemic, she grabbed the opportunity to not only enjoy farming and growing plants, but to actually turn it into a business. Ces invested her savings in her natural products brand Provenciana, enrolled in classes, and upgraded her skills. “This is really the road to success: you have to be patient.”

And as experienced by Ces, manifesting dreams also require that you’re able to protect and grow what you’ve started. 

 5. Let the experts help you.  
According to Michelle Lumabi, “maling akala” prevents most Filipinos from investing. “One of the most common misconceptions is that they need to shell out a big amount of money before they can start. There are platforms where you can start for as low as Php5,000. There are financial institutions like insurance or asset management houses that have easy payment terms.” 

Michelle cited FWD Manifest as a unique investment-linked insurance plan for its four bonuses: the startup bonus, the premium extension bonus, the investment protection bonus, and the guaranteed milestone increase. Each bonus is credited to your main account so there is more capital to grow. 

Michelle Lumabi shares, investment decisions must be made based on personal goals and not on what’s happening in the market.  


6. Develop a positive mindset.
Anything we don’t know is scary—but it’s also an opportunity for growth and success. “Mindset is everything. Don’t be scared,” Jun said. “I started working at 20 and investing at 23. Every time I earned my salary, I spent 70%, saved 20% and gave 10% to charity. That’s been my practice ever since. When I had something more, I made a more sophisticated way of investing. There really is no substitute for discipline and hard work.” 

A positive mindset can help you raise your self-expectations and that can be a powerful tool. “Failure for me was not an option,” said Ces, whose children are now her business partners. “We share goals and we’re quite disciplined. I’m very happy to be ordered around by my sons and proud that they have so much wisdom.”

 7. Focus on one goal at a time. 
Dreaming is one thing, focusing to work on those dreams is quite another. Be single-minded in your pursuit to make your dreams a reality.  “Pursuing too many goals simultaneously may contribute to one’s failure,” said Alvin Jade Rivano. “Focus on one goal, dedicate yourself to it. Some experts even say be obsessed with it.” 

Manifesters’ Roundtable was a kuwentuhan that inspired viewers and made them believe that they too can manifest their dreams. Talk to an FWD Life Insurance financial advisor about FWD Manifest and how to make investing and protecting your future less worries.

James Reid and Jeff Oh welcomed Destiny Rogers, August Wahh and SOS to the Careless Music family

November 25, 2022


Careless Music CEO Jeffrey Oh and Chairman and President James Reid 




The Careless Music 2022 Presscon took place on the 21st of November (MNL) over zoom spanning 4 different locations across the world– Manila, LA, Japan, and Hawaii. Chairman and President James Reid, along with CEO Jeffrey Oh announced the signing of three new artists to the Careless roster–
Destiny Rogers, August Wahh, and SOS.



DESTINY ROGERS


Born and bred in California, Destiny Rogers is no stranger to themusic scene. Learning how to play the guitar at a young age and
being encouraged by her parents to sing at church, Destiny pursued her passion in music which led to her signing into The Stereotypes’ label, RCA Records, in 2018. Destiny moved to LA thefollowing year to focus on music. Her debut single ‘Tomboy’ currently has over 100 million streams on Spotify. She released an
EP with the same title and has been continuously coming out with new music since. More recently, she featured on James Reid’s album "lovescene:" on the track and music video for "lie to me." Destiny visited Manila  last September to shoot the music video, as well as experience the local music scene in Manila.

Destiny Rogers is signing to Careless as her Asian talent managament. She is scheduled to release a single through Careless in partnership with Beach Wave Sound this December 2nd (LA)/ December 3rd (MNL), to be accompanied by a music video as well.
Destiny has over 1.2 million followers, and 100 million collective streams on Spotify.


AUGUST WAHH


Hailing from General Santos City, Sabrina Haw, better known as August Wahh, has been revolutionizing the local R&B and neo-soul
scene for years. Before all this, she would hang out by a convenience store with friends during breaks. She mentions that “one time I was there and these kids from my class had a guitar and were jamming. I ended up singing a song and jamming with them. Next thing you know I'm being recruited to be a part of a neo-soul band.”

August moved to Manila to pursue an education in music and to focus on her solo career. She found herself collaborating with other producers like SOS’ very own CRWN. She released her first
EP entitled ‘Labyrinth’ in 2019, and in March of 2020, she was one of the 36 artists featured on Spotify’s Radar programme whose
 reviously notable artists include LAUV, Joji, and Rina Sawayama. Now that August is officially part of Careless, she says that new music is a non-negotiable. She hopes to bridge gaps within the music community and to be able to do more local and international tours. August has over 26,000 monthly Spotify listeners and 2,000,000+
streams collectively.


SOS


Previously recognized as She’s Only Sixteen, Filipino indie rock band SOS signs with Careless Music. The group is composed of four members: Roberto Seña– the band’s frontman, Anjo Silvoza– bass, Andrew Panopio– lead guitar, and King Puentespina (CRWN)– drummer. With over a decade of experience under their belts, the group continues to grow artistically while individually pursuing full￾time careers.

SOS also shared their secret to staying together for over 12 years: “We’re all best friends, we’re a team… we saw each other get to where we are now. SOS has a strong foundation when it comes to those things. It’s crucial to making music and we’re always grateful to still be sharing these stories for everyone to hear.” In 2020, SOS released an EP entitled ‘The Other Side’ which landed on NME’s list of best Asian albums that year. To them, being with
Careless is a great opportunity to “collaborate and share ideas with different artists and a label that can elevate our music outside our community.” SOS is also the first band to be signed with Careless. SOS currently has over 3,000,000 streams collectively, and 98,000 monthly Spotify listeners.
