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.
To help keep Filipinos safe in the new normal, GCash, the Philippines’ no. 1 financial app, and Robinsons Retail, one of the country’s largest omnichannel retailers, now offer safer and faster cashless transactions through barcode scanning.
The payment method is available at all Robinsons Department Stores, Robinsons Supermarkets, Robinson Easymart, Shopwise, The Marketplace, No Brand, and Southstar Drug as well as select Uncle John’s stores (formerly Ministop).
Paying via barcode scanning helps customers not worry about bringing the exact change or inputting the incorrect amount when making cashless transactions. It also enables merchants to manage their cash flow better and minimize errors when accepting payments.
To pay via barcode scanning, the customer just needs to generate a unique barcode from the GCash app. The Robinsons Retail store simply scans it so the shopper can pay for all the items – from groceries to medicine to Korean snacks – safely and quickly.
Thanks to the latest GCash app revamp, creating your personal barcode is a smoother process than ever. On the GCash app, simply tap the QR button on the homescreen to generate QR, pay using the QR code and present it to the cashier for scanning. It’s that simple!
“Shopping in malls is a big part of Filipino culture. It’s also how we get our essentials and more. And that shouldn’t lead to health problems or health scares. At GCash, we strive to make Filipinos’ everyday lives better, and with this exciting partnership with Robinsons Retail, we look forward to doing just that by offering safe and convenient transactions for Pinoys,” said Martha Sazon, GCash president and CEO.
Under this partnership, GCash aims to roll out the barcode scanning feature in more Robinsons Retail stores across the country.
“At Robinsons Retail, we do our best to make shopping a delightful experience for everyone. That means making it safe, easy, and hassle-free for shoppers whether they’re buying groceries for the week at a Robinsons Supermarket or a quick snack at an Uncle John’s. With GCash, paying for purchases at the check-out counter is easier and safer with just a few taps and a quick scan,” said Stanley Co, Managing Director of Robinsons Retail’s Supermarket Segment.
GCash’s scan-to-pay partnership with Robinsons Retail began in 2017 via in-store QR, which are still offered by all Robinsons Retail brands. Cash-in is also offered by Robinsons Department Store, Robinsons Supermarket, Robinsons Easymart, The Marketplace, Shopwise, and No Brand, Uncle John’s, and Southstar Drug. Cash-out is available at Robinsons Business Center.
For more convenient shopping on a budget, Robinsons Retail also accepts GCredit and GGives, which are both available on the GCash app. GCredit offers a credit line for up to P30,000 with zero annual fees. All you need is 1 valid ID and be at least 21 years old. GGives is an installment payment option for up to 24 months for purchases of up to P125,000 with an interest as low as 0% depending on your GScore.
