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.
GCash users now have more investment options with PSE-listed firms
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the public launch of AB Capital Securities, Inc.’s (ABCSI) initiative of making its online trading services accessible in the GCash App.
GCash customers have already been able to grow their wealth through GFunds by allowing them to invest in various funds managed by experts for a minimum investment of as low as P50. With the launch of GStocks PH, there are more investment opportunities for GCash users as they can now choose which companies listed on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) to invest in.
Earlier this year, the SEC approved the sandbox run of the service offered in the GCash app under the GStocks PH feature. The dry run helped ABCSI ensure that its online retail trading services can provide the best possible experience to GCash users.
“The SEC supports new innovations in financial technology and how this can enable more Filipinos to have access to legitimate investment opportunities. While making sure the regulatory environment remains conducive to such innovations, the Commission will also continue to champion consumer and investor protection through timely regulations,” SEC Commissioner Kelvin Lester K. Lee said.
For GCash CEO and President, Martha Sazon, “GCash will continue to partner with like-minded organizations like AB Capital so that we can empower Filipinos from all walks of life and give them the opportunity to grow their wealth. We thank the SEC and the PSE for enabling this partnership.”
Meanwhile, AB Capital Group’s Executive Chairman Antonio Jose Periquet, Jr. said that the strategic partnership with GCash and the PSE is a big boost to the country's financial inclusion agenda. The Philippines currently has a little over 1% of Filipinos investing in the stock market.
“Now that AB Capital Securities Inc.’s online trading platform is available on GCash, millions more can invest in some of the biggest, most profitable, and well-managed listed companies on the PSE – giving them greater potential to earn more from their hard-earned money,” Periquet noted.
With GStocks PH, more investors in the Philippines can enjoy an easy registration process to begin investing in 280+ local companies listed on the PSE, all in the GCash app. Users can also fund their trading accounts using their GCash wallets for free, no bank account is needed. ABCSI continues to remind the public that any form of investment entails risk but these can be managed by thoroughly researching on which stocks to invest in and keeping a diverse portfolio.
