GCash, the country’s no.1 mobile wallet app, together with the Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit Cordillera of the Philippine National Police-Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG), has uncovered and arrested the individual behind a Love Romance scam. Suspect Racel Guno allegedly swindled money from multiple chats using a fake Facebook profile named “Carter Gudson Gudson”. The latest victim was said to have transferred P84,927 to Guno’s account. After the transfer, the victim was blocked on Guno’s fake Facebook and Messenger accounts.

By working together closely, GCash and the RACU COR implemented the Warrant of Arrest issued by Hon. Isagani G. Calderon, presiding judge of RTC First Judicial Region, Branch 8, La Trinidad Benguet issued on February 4, 2021 that resulted in the successful arrest of Guno in her condominium in Parañaque City.

Following this incident, GCash reminds its users that they can better protect their GCash accounts by following these tips:

Check authenticity of messages from SMS, emails, and other social network sites. Online scammers have been rampant recently. Their usual scheme is using phishing links to victimize bank account holders through emails and even social networking sites. Be wary of these links especially if they come from suspicious sources. Legitimate messages only come from an official GCash site (https://www.gcash.com/), and verified Facebook and Instagram pages (https://www.facebook.com/gcashofficial, https://www.instagram.com/gcashofficial/). Always remember that GCash will never ask for your MPIN, One-Time Password (OTP), and the CVV on your credit card.

Never share your MPIN and OTP. The MPIN may be used to access your account. While scammers can get very creative in trying to get this data from you, their end goal will always be the same: getting your MPIN, OTP, or CVV — three most important data that you should only keep to yourself at all times. So this should immediately be your sign to stop the transaction and report the scammer via the GCash User Complaint Form (https://help.gcash.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034636613-GCash-User-Complaint-Form). Another option is to text 2882 from your Globe number to get the assistance you need.

Know how the Customer Protect Program works. GCash has added the Customer Protect Program to their product, which is designed to help detect and prevent fraudulent activities. Qualified users are eligible for compensation for unauthorized transactions in case of identity theft and/or loss of mobile phone. The amount of compensation depends on the validation level of users. Fully verified users may be compensated for up to Php100,000.

Cashless transactions are now an integral part of our daily living. That’s why scammers have become extremely creative in victimizing frequent users of the e-wallet app. By knowing these tips from GCash, you can be more aware of their schemes, and consequently better protect your account from fraudsters and continue to use the mobile wallet for various convenient services from buying essentials to paying for utilities.

The United Kingdom has always been one of the dream destinations for many Filipino healthcare workers—and for good reasons. Its National Health Service (NHS) is one of the best in the world, not only in discovering scientific breakthroughs or offering topnotch facilities and services but also in ensuring their staff are well compensated.

Currently, some 21,000 Filipino nurses and other healthcare professionals are enjoying their employment in the United Kingdom because of the many benefits that are provided: they receive great market-rate salaries well above their expected rate in their home country; excellent professional development and career opportunities, free healthcare, well-equipped hospitals and modern facilities.

Moreover, they have an opportunity to relocate their families to the UK, especially for Filipino healthcare workers who plan to stay in the UK long-term.

“Securing a job in the UK is one of the most rewarding choices for many Filipino healthcare professionals. With the ongoing health crisis, there’s definitely plenty of opportunities open in the NHS,” said Alejandro Coca, CEO of TrueProfile.io, a platform that provides Filipino healthcare professionals around the world with the tools they need to secure a lucrative career abroad.

For Filipino healthcare professionals who want to enjoy the NHS’s numerous benefits while being given growth opportunities in their careers, they can now do so by collecting all the basic requirements which include either a 1x1 or 2x2 ID picture, PSA-authenticated birth certificate, résumé, college diploma, transcript of records, employer contract, marriage contract (if applicable), NBI clearance, passport (valid for at least six months), as well as license and certifications.

They must also apply for a working visa to the United Kingdom once the job is offered by the employer.

All these documents must be fully verified, which they can easily do with the help of TrueProfile.io. By signing up to become a member, TrueProfile.io offers its members with a number of career solutions including access to international job opportunities, a free digital CV that can be shared with employers, regulators and recruiters and can also be showcased on social media.

Coming into the second year of the pandemic, cleanliness and safety is still the number one priority for families. Even as vaccinations are slowly rolled out, nothing beats preparedness in keeping sickness at bay. Worldwide innovators, such as LG, have been hard at work to provide tools to help in the new normal. Its newest product, the LG Styler, is designed to keep clothes fresh and clean without needing to launder it excessively.

In a recent online event, LG introduced the Styler to the local market. Hosted by LG Brand Ambassador Stephanie Zubiri, the event showcased the different uses the LG Styler has for individuals from all walks of life. LG envisions the Styler as the future of wardrobe management, especially with the Philippines’ unpredictable weather. Normal clothes are easy to wash, but some, such as outerwear like jackets, or dresses with fragile fabric, are a different story. This is where the LG Styler comes in.

With the Styler, all you need to do is put your clothes inside and it’s good as new in minutes - no fuss and definitely, no damage. You can also do this to shake off wrinkles and odors. You can take care of suits, dresses, sweaters and more with the touch of a button, so you and your clothes will always look at your best. Shake off odors, leaving your clothes fresh and clean. You don’t have to worry about special fabrics. The LG Styler prevents shrinkage and damage courtesy of its Heat-Pump Technology. Gently dry clothes that require special care without worrying about shrinkage or damage. No more dampness or accidental damage - only fresh, clean clothes as they were meant to be.

During the event, event host Stephanie, who’s a mom and a journalist, shared how she loves using Styler to sanitize her kid’s stuffed animal toys. She interviewed Victor Basa and Dra. Vicki Belo who both shared their unique perspective on how the Styler helps them at home and at work. Victor, actor and fashion blogger, appreciates great clothing and the transformative power they possess. “I have these prized menswear pieces that really make you feel good wearing, a custom suit, Italian bespoke trousers, heirloom barong, and they all deserve the proper care and longevity. The LG Styler is definitely a game changer. I often have to bring out my seldom used clothes like my barong out of the closet for my hosting gigs and so I don't need to get out for dry cleaning! It’s like having your own valet or gentleman’s gentleman at home, specifically responsible for my clothes. It also looks great in my interior because of the reflective mirror finish and sleek design.”

While Dra. Vicki Belo, founder and medical director of Belo Medical Group, the pioneer and number one medical aesthetic clinic in the country, was elated with her new home dream machine and all it’s amazing features. “I’m obsessed! Thanks to LG Philippines for bringing it here. I saw it in Milan around 3 years ago. The first thing I loved about it is the ease of use! I’m not that techie so this one I can easily operate after unboxing. I also like the fact that you can practically use it every day. We wear PPEs as doctors in Belo clinics so as soon as I remove it, pasok agad in the Styler. It feels as if I have a whole new wardrobe in my walk-in closet because I have a lot of delicate items that I wouldn’t wear as often, like the couture dresses, so now I can freshen them all up. Also, lahat na we wanna put inside the LG Styler, and not just the clothing, even the stuffed toys of Scarlett.” The one-of-a-kind appliance can effectively prolong the life of not only clothes but a whole variety of household items.

At the core of Styler is the patented LG TrueSteam™ technology, which eliminates over 99.9 percent of the germs and bacteria found in clothing and toys and is approved as asthma and allergy friendly® by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). Clothes placed on the moving hangers shake out wrinkles and unpleasant odors while the Gentle Dry cycle removes moisture quickly and thoroughly. Heat Pump Drying reduces energy consumption by recycling heat from the hot, moist air inside Styler, and Pants Crease Care creates a crisp crease-line without an iron.

In addition, style icon and fashion+travel blogger Laureen Uy with 1M followers on Instagram posted about how amazing is her new LG Styler. Representing a new way to care for her designer clothes and other accessories, the Styler boasts many practical uses and thoughtful features including a mirror-like finish that fits her snazzy space and chic personality.

Aside from being functional, it’s sleek, stylish, and blends well with any interior. Whether you’re living by yourself or with a family, the LG Styler is a key piece in anyone’s wardrobe. With it, you can refresh clothes in the comfort of your home. From unpleasant smells, harmful pollutants, dripping wet, wrinkles, seasonal clothes and even difficult to clean items - effortlessly remove them quickly and effectively at your home.

LG also remains committed in providing smart solutions for its appliances. The Styler can be controlled using your smartphone. ThinQ™ app lets you operate or monitor precious garments from anywhere, anytime. You can use Cycle Download to add newly developed care cycles.

Knowing the need to efficiently eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses in the community, LG recently donated Styler and Wearable Air Purifiers and more than 2000 hygiene kits to the local government of Pasig City through Mayor Vico Sotto. LG has always been a long and ardent supporter of the LGU where the LGEPH headquarters is located. Over the past months, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, LG also donated washing machines, refrigerators and digital signage displays to help out city frontliners and its constituents.

Seungjae Kim, LG Philippines’ Managing Director, shares his piece on how the LG Styler can benefit Filipino families and the community. “The LG Styler provides a fast and easy way of disinfecting your clothes, which is crucial in the time of COVID. It helps keep you and your family safe. It is also a perfect addition to any household, whether you’re living alone or with a family. We also believe that the CSR initiatives we have done, including the recent Styler donation will make a difference in helping out Pasig City’s civil servants.”

Martha Sazon, president and CEO of GCash, the leading mobile wallet company in the country, was named “CEO of the Year” at the prestigious IDC Future Enterprise Awards - Philippines. Sazon was recognized for leading GCash’s exponential growth and making Filipinos’ lives better through the mobile wallet app’s digital financial products and services.

Aside from Sazon winning the “CEO of the Year,” GCash was also recognized as the “Best in Future of Customers and Consumers” for championing financial solutions to improve Filipinos’ lives and achieve financial inclusion for all through its “Go Cashless with GCash” campaign.

The IDC Future Enterprise Awards recognizes outstanding organizations that have made breakthroughs in business in a digital transformation framework and had a successful implementation of digital initiatives that address new customer requirements, development of new capabilities, deployment of new critical infrastructure, and pursuit of new industry.

“I’m truly honored to receive this award from IDC, and. I share this honor with the hardworking GCash team, who have been working tirelessly to help achieve our vision of financial inclusion for all. At GCash, we work to build a future of agility and collaboration with our customers. We innovate and develop new products and services, guided by their needs and our purpose, which is making Filipinos' everyday lives better,” said Sazon.

Prior to leading GCash, Sazon was a Senior Vice President at Globe as Head of the Broadband Business where she pioneered customizable plans in postpaid, introduced tech solutions for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and created a new industry category in prepaid via the highly successful Globe Home Prepaid Wifi.

During the earliest and most uncertain stage of the pandemic in June 2020, Sazon was appointed as the president and CEO of GCash. Unfazed by the difficult circumstances of the ongoing pandemic, she saw the opportunity to serve Filipinos – 2 out of 3 have no access to bank accounts or other financial services.

“It has been challenging but also fulfilling since we have been able to help a lot of people at this time,” said Sazon.

Under Sazon’s leadership, it did not take long for GCash to grow and enable financial access to millions of Filipinos. GCash was also able to grow its subscribers from 33 million in 2020 to over 51 million by the end of October 2021, equivalent to more than 40 percent of the Filipino population having a GCash account.

“Now, we have more than doubled our user base with active users logging more than twice a day. This means a great deal to us because it shows our app is now a part of our users' daily lives,” said Sazon.

Sazon led GCash to ensure that it would be able to respond with the customers’ evolving needs in line with the company’s rapid growth. In order to meet the customers’ needs, GCash improved its overall service quality and customer experience and shifted to a cloud platform to be more cost-effective.

The leading mobile wallet company also developed services with a strong focus on customers’ needs. With GCash, customers are able to “Send Money,” “Bank Transfer,” and “Pay Bills” safely and conveniently. GCash was also able to address the other needs of customers with GInsure for insurance for as low as P39, GCredit for a pre-approved credit line to pay for bills or QR transactions, GInvest to easily invest in a market fund, and GLife to buy essentials, food, gadgets, and more.

During a time when the pandemic affected Filipino livelihood and the economy, GCash provided businesses, especially MSMEs, with a safe, contactless way to accept payment for their goods through the use of QR codes and a P2P platform. Jeepney and tricycle drivers and fishermen also use GCash to accept payment. With this, customers are also given the convenience and safety of paying for essential services and products.

Tapped by the Department of Social Welfare and Development, GCash supported the government's Social Amelioration Program in distributing P16 billion to more than 2 million Filipino families and the nation’s frontliners through the app. At least P40 million in donations for COVID-19 and typhoon relief were also distributed to various non-government organizations (NGOs) in the country via GCash.
