Hola na primer bloque de aparyamentos, El Futura Vinta es un nuevo manera de vivir. Filinvest Land is bringing Zamboanga Peninsula’s first condominium development with Futura Vinta. The occasion was celebrated with a colorful and grand launch event reminiscent of the Hermosa Festival – a nod to the vinta, the project’s namesake.

Futura Vinta is one of Filinvest Land’s landmark projects in Mindanao. This mid-rise residential enclave from the developer’s smart value Futura by Filinvest brand sits on over 5,000 square meters of land along the highly accessible Vitaliano Agan Avenue. Futura Vinta will be home to two condominium buildings complemented by generous amenities and lush open spaces. Filinvest Land is investing over Php 1.3 billion into the first phase of the development. 

“Futura Vinta is a testament to Filinvest Land’s vision of building more Filipino dreams across the archipelago. This development will give Pueblo Zamboangeño the unique opportunity to enjoy a green lifestyle amid a master-planned condo community. We also hope to support the region’s continued economic growth through our investment,” said Filinvest Land President Tristan Las Marias.

“We are proud to say that the first condo development in the Zamboanga Peninsula will be here in the heart of Zamboanga City. Futura Vinta is now part of our region’s history. We thank Filinvest Land for being a steadfast partner for progress of Zamboanga. Filinvest Land has our full trust and confidence,” said Zamboanga City Mayor John Dalipe.

Hidilyn Diaz, excited sa tulong ng BDO Cash Agad sa Mampang, Zamboanga

 

MAMPANG, ZAMBOANGA CITY—Malaki ang paniniwala ni Olympic at Southeast Asian Games weightlifting gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz na nakakatulong ang pagiging BDO Cash Agad partner-agent ng kanyang gym sa mga kababayan niya sa Barangay Mampang at kalapit-lugar sa Zamboanga City.

 

Ang gym ay nagsisilbing training facility para sa mga nangangarap na maging champion weightlifter tulad ni Hidilyn, at sa iba pang health and sports enthusiasts. Kahapon, pormal nang inilunsad ang Hidilyn Diaz Gym bilang Cash Agad partner-agent sa nasabing lugar.

 

"Alam ko na makakadagdag ng kita para sa pamilya ko (na syang nag o-operate ng gym) ang pagkakaroon ng Cash Agad point-of-sale (POS) terminal sa gym," ani Hidilyn. "Pero mas malaking ginhawa ang maidudulot nito sa mga kababayan ko sa Mampang lalo na sa pag-withdraw nila ng cash."

 

Gamit ang ATM cards mula sa BDO Unibank, BDO Kabayan Savings, at BDO Network Bank, at iba pang local banks, maaaring nang mag-withdraw sinuman ng cash sa gym ni Hidilyn Diaz at iba pang mga small to medium businesses tulad ng sari-sari stores. Dahil may over 10,000 Cash Agad agents na nationwide, hindi na kailangan pang bumiyahe ng mga customers nang malayo at gumastos sa pamasahe papunta sa bangko o ATM sa siyudad.

 

"Dito sa Mampang, kailangan pa nilang bumiyahe ng mga 10 kilometers para lamang makapag-withdraw sa bayan. Pero ngayon dahil may POS na sa gym namin dito, kaunting lakad na lang sila. At dahil magkakakilala naman kami dito sa Mampang, anytime pwede silang magpunta para mag withdraw lalo na kung para sa emergencies," dagdag pa ni Hidilyn. “Para sa mga beneficiaries ng mga overseas Filipinos, madali na nilang mai-wiwithdraw ang kanilang remittance dahil may Cash Agad na dito.”

 

Para sa mga family members nya na nagma-manage ng gym, dagdag kita din ang dulot ng Cash Agad mula sa convenience fee sa bawat withdrawal transaction ng customer. Bukod sa withdrawal, pwede ring mag balance inquiry sa Cash Agad POS. 

 

Payo din ng weightlifting champion na magandang ehemplo ang gym nya na may Cash Agad para sa mga iba pang may negosyo.

 

"Sa mga may negosyo, lalo na yung mga nasa far-flung areas, I encourage them na mag apply na rin na maging Cash Agad partner-agent dahil dagdag kita ito sa kanila. Makakatulong din ang Cash Agad na madagdagan ang mga suki sa business nila dahil kadalasan pag nagwiwithdraw ang customer sa Cash Agad at nakita nila yung mga paninda mo, bibili na rin ang mga yun. Malamang mag kwento pa sila sa mga kakilala nila na 'dun ka na bumili, makakapag withdraw ka pa dahil may Cash Agad'," giit ni Hidilyn.

 

Nagsagawa rin ng Agents Day ang BDO Remit, BDO Network Bank at BDO Cash Agad kung saan ang mga branch employees mula sa iba't-ibang lugar sa Zamboanga City ay nagsagawa ng financial inclusion activities para sa mga taga-Mampang, kabilang na dito ang pag facilitate ng account opening, loan application, at pag tugon sa mga inquiries sa Cash Agad.

 

Philippines gears up to become a cashless society

 

A cashless society is one where cash is not the primary mode for financial transactions. Instead, transactions are settled electronically using credit or debit cards, mobile or online payment apps and even QR codes. 

 

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, cashless payments proved useful when mobility was greatly limited due to health and security reasons. Online banking and digital payments saw growth in usage as both became options to branch banking for many Filipinos.

 

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) considers cashless payments not only as an alternative mode to perform banking transactions, but also to promote financial inclusion. It serves as a gateway especially for unbanked and underbanked Filipinos, to other financial products such as savings, loans, and insurance aside from those offered through traditional channels.

 

Making Filipinos financially and digitally savvy

 

“To make cashless payments an active tool to promote financial inclusion, it needs to be easy to use and accessible for everyone. With our online banking and cashless payment platforms, BDO provides alternatives for those who wish to do their financial transactions digitally,” said BDO consumer banking group digital banking head Roy Villareal.

 

BDO primed its digital banking channels and launched its BDO Online and BDO Pay mobile apps not just to address the sudden demand for contactless financial transactions during the pandemic, but to make bank services more accessible and convenient in the new normal. BDO Online and BDO Pay allow BDO clients to pay their bills, transfer money, and monitor their bank account through their computers or mobile phones.

 

“BDO wants to integrate financial wellness into the growing digital lifestyle of Filipinos. Mobile connection in the country is more than 100% of the country’s total population. Aside from widening our network of branches and ATMs across the country, BDO provides digital banking solutions that are accessible to Filipinos via their smartphones,” said Villareal.

 

“BDO’s mobile apps allow our clients to have the financial information they need right at their fingertips.  More than the convenience, what these digital solutions offer is control over one’s finances,” he added.

 

With its new mobile apps, BDO aims to help the BSP promote cashless payments and advance financial inclusion in the country.    #####
