Expands digital financial solutions and financial literacy
The Void is not synonymous with stagnation; rather, it's a fertile ground for exploration and discovery. By understanding and embracing the Void, creatives can liberate themselves from the constraints of expectation and perfectionism. This liberation becomes a catalyst for fresh ideas, enabling a departure from the ordinary and a journey into uncharted territories of innovation.
Navigating the Void requires a willingness to confront uncertainty and silence the noise of external influences. It's a practice in mindfulness and self-discovery—a journey into the depths of one's own thoughts and emotions. In this solitude, creatives often find the raw materials for groundbreaking concepts, discovering connections and patterns that were previously obscured.
The process of engaging with the Void is not about avoiding challenges but transforming them into opportunities. It encourages a shift in perspective, viewing obstacles not as roadblocks but as stepping stones to innovation. By understanding 'the Void' as a realm of potential, creatives unlock the door to their most authentic and impactful work, revealing the beauty that emerges when the creative spirit is allowed to roam freely. In essence, the Void becomes not an abyss to be feared, but a sanctuary where creativity thrives, and our most brilliant ideas come to life.
In its mission to boost financial inclusion in the Philippines and uplift the grassroots economy, GCash, the country’s largest cashless ecosystem, has launched the DigiCities Program in 27 cities nationwide.
The launch aims to empower Local Government Units (LGUs) to establish digitally inclusive cities with widespread adoption of seamless, secure, and accessible digital payments through GCash.
The program will have an initial run in key LGUs for five months from June to October 2024. It aims to equip local governments and businesses with the essential tools they need in their digital shift – benefitting their constituents and consumers. It aims to help local communities transition into a digital-ready ecosystem – from payment acceptance in public offices to empowering micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by helping them upscale their business potential as they embrace the digital economy.
Through the expansion of its digital financial solutions and services to more cities in the country, GCash also fortifies its commitment to fostering a reliable digital ecosystem across the country and help foster an inclusive economic growth and efficiency.
“Through continuous and strategic partnerships with the public sector, more and more Filipinos can now have access to safe, secure, and convenient digital financial products and services, in the process empowering communities across the nation while helping GCash achieve its goal of “Finance for All”. We are looking forward to more game-changing collaborations with them as we help the country transform into a more digital-first, and future-ready nation,” G-XChange, Inc. president and CEO Ren-Ren Reyes said.
The program was kicked off in Cebu for Visayas and Mindanao as well as in Metro Manila for NCR and Luzon. Following the twin launches, GCash now aims to reach more cities nationwide, from Manila, Quezon City, Makati, Pasig, Parañaque, Muntinlupa, and Caloocan, as well as other LGUs across Luzon such as Baguio, Antipolo, Bacoor, Imus, Lipa, and Santa Rosa. The program will also be piloted in Cebu City, Mandaue City, Lapu Lapu City, Iloilo, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Cabanatuan, San Fernando (Pampanga), Dasmarinas, Tagbilaran, Bacolod, Victorias, Kidapawan, and General Santos.
As the biggest digital ecosystem in the country, GCash, together with its partners continues to promote widespread adoption of digital payments and diverse financial transactions enabled seamlessly through the app, making its purpose of financial inclusion a reality to various communities and the public sector at large.
The GCash app is available for free on Google Play and the App Store. For more information, please visit www.new.gcash.com
