In the spirit of financial inclusion and Bayanihan, leading finance app GCash has expanded its relief program 'Tulong Mo I-GCash Mo' to mobilize the support of Overseas Filipinos (OFs) amidst the disaster brought about by Typhoon Carina.
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.
The relief program allows Filipinos worldwide to send financial help to relatives and loved ones, and donations to non-government organizations (NGOs) through the GCash app.
For its part, GCash is temporarily waiving selected transaction fees for disaster recovery.
"GCash is empowering Filipinos worldwide to embody the nation’s core value of Bayanihan – the spirit of communal unity, especially in these trying times. Through GCash, Overseas Filipinos can swiftly extend a helping hand to loved ones affected by calamities such as Typhoon Carina or contribute to relief efforts. To foster this sense of solidarity, GCash, through its global partners, are waiving select transaction fees for its users, making it easier and more affordable to cash in, send aid, and support those in need,"
said Paul Albano, GCash International General Manager.
Filipinos from 14 countries with GCash Overseas accounts can directly donate to NGOs like the Red Cross, Ayala Foundation, Save the Children, and more via the app's Bills Pay section without incurring fees.
Aside from this initiative, GCash also enables OFWs to easily access convenient digital financial services and solutions anywhere in the world. In the US, GCash users can cash in for free from their US bank accounts for their first two transactions until July 31. Participating institutions include Bank of America and Wells Fargo.
In Canada, users can cash in via OTT Remit with no fees for their first two transactions when transferring to their GCash Overseas account or sending to a GCash account in the Philippines, potentially saving up to CAD 17.98.
To offer OFWs seamless remittance, GCash adds more global partners including Taptap Send, allowing residents in the Philippines to receive a bonus of up to PHP 1,000. Remitly, another global remittance partner of GCash, offers no transaction fees for transfers from the US and Australia.
OFs in other countries may cash in and remit to GCash via Payoneer, Western Union, Moneygram and other GCash accredited partners.
