Maya, the #1 Digital Bank in the Philippines, has unveiled its cutting-edge ID card at the Ateneo de Manila University, redefining campus experiences and revolutionizing security and cashless transactions for students, faculty, and staff alike.

Featuring a sleek design and an embedded RFID chip, this Maya-powered ID card provides seamless access to vital university points, ensuring convenience and security not only on campus but also beyond. But here's the kicker—it's not just about identification. Maya's collaboration with Ateneo goes beyond mere convenience—it's about revolutionizing the entire campus experience by linking this innovative ID card to the Maya app. Together with Maya’s end-to-end cashless ecosystem, it simplifies identification, empowers students, faculty, and staff to make secure payments across the campus, and drives adoption of financial services.

With Maya leading the charge, the groundbreaking partnerships established with UP-Diliman in 2019, UP-Cebu last year, and this year’s collaboration with Ateneo are reshaping the educational landscape through cutting-edge technology. Say hello to secure, efficient, and modern campus environments, welcoming a new era of university experiences across the Philippines.

Tip #1: Don’t forget to get GInsure Travel Insurance for your luggages

When it comes to affordable travel insurance, Cocoy and Justine ensure they’re financially protected before being on the go by getting GInsure Travel Insurance. Within the GInsure dashboard of the GCash app, you can find different insurance products to suit your needs, including GInsure Travel Insurance for as low as Php 350.

Filipinos can benefit from having protection against unexpected travel expenses resulting from trip delays and cancellations, loss and damage to baggage, accidents, and illnesses. Coverage does not include skilled laborers traveling for employment, high-risk occupations, or one-way trips.

“As a frequent traveler, it’s better to be safe than sorry, especially if you have delayed flights or any issues that are travel-related!” shares Justine.

Tip #2: Simplify your planning by using GCash to Pay Online

GCash helps you plan out your trips through its various partners offering special deals at great prices. If you’re shopping for all your summer style needs, you can enjoy special offers on TikTok Shop when you pay with GCash.

Meanwhile, you can find exciting deals for various summer experiences and activities via Klook. You can also use GCash online to pay when you Buy Load for Globe and TM to ensure you stay connected wherever you go.

Cocoy shares, “In my experience, I just tell my friends or travel companions, GCash ko nalang, ha! That means that you’ll just transfer your payments to that person! This just shows how cashless transactions are the way to go. No need to make sure that you have the exact change for the payment, or if you have enough cash to pay!”

The trip highlighted how users can go cashless in one of the country’s most popular summer destinations as they used GCash to Scan to Pay – from dining at trendy restaurants to exploring various attractions and even while going from one destination to another.

Justine explains, “[GCash is so] convenient. Let’s be real, 2024 na, not a lot of people are carrying cash with them, but 10/10 times they have their phone! I’m glad to know La Union is adapting to this. Pati yung tricycle drivers naka GCash, which is convenient!”

Meanwhile, if your summer travels are taking you out of the country, GCash gives you the option to pay cashless with the GCash Card.

Cocoy adds, “The all new GCash Card is my newest travel must-have! I first tried using it when I went to Hong Kong recently, and I was able to withdraw cash, pay for things, and enjoy a low FOREX rate pa!”

International insurtech firm discovermarket announces its launch in the Philippines, starting with its partnership with Globe Telecom Inc. - the leading full-service telecommunications company in the Philippines, to launch its embedded Personal Cyber Insurance product.

Based in Switzerland with its regional headquarters for South-East Asia in Singapore, discovermarket provides embedded insurance solutions to over 200 million customers across diverse industries - including hospitality, agriculture, and telecommunications.

While the Philippines has seen exponential growth in mobile and internet users and its digital economy, therein lies the rise of cybercrimes with an increase of such cases reported in the first quarter of 2024 alone, with 4,469 cases compared to 3,668 cases in the same period last year1.

In light of the situation, Globe has been taking active measures to clampdown and bolster their cyber security capabilities by investing in such solutions2. With this partnership with discovermarket, the company is now able to provide unique insurance products for customers of their core connectivity products, by leveraging discovermarket's innovative embedded insurance solution.

The new cyber retail product covers Globe’s Platinum customers from online identity theft, online shopping fraud and internet payment transactions fraud up to PHP 100,000 (S$2,370/US$1,740). The coverage also provides claims assistance service in the event of a cyber incident. The product will be made available for new and recontracting Globe Platinum subscribers who hold Plan 3799, Plan 4999, and Plan 7999.

“Having this partnership with Globe has been a great privilege for us,” said Patrick Bühler, CEO and Founder of discovermarket. “By providing a hassle-free and digital-first experience, we are able to help Globe provide innovative insurance products as a safeguard for their users. As the digital presence of Filipino consumers continues to grow, it is crucial that there are comprehensive measures for everyone to be sufficiently protected from malicious cyber-attacks.”

“We appreciate this partnership we have with discovermarket as we are now able to deliver effective protection solutions through a digital operating model that adds value for our subscribers,” commented Mark Pasaylo, Head and Director - The Platinum Brand, Globe. “The new embedded CyberInsurance products demonstrate Globe’s commitment to ensure the safety of our subscribers’ online presence, giving them peace of mind when they go about their various activities on their smart devices.”

discovermarket’s core goal is to provide insurance products to the underserved segments of the community. This is achieved through its low transaction costs to tap into these market segments, offering embedded insurance products that are affordable, thereby improving accessibility to insurance. discovermarket’s marketplace-as-a-service platform also functions as a one-stop marketplace for ecosystem partners seeking digital insurance solutions. Partners can simply select from a variety of brokers, insurers, and prevention providers to create diverse insurance propositions and customise their embedded insurance journeys.

Following the partnership with Globe, discovermarket aims to expand its reach in the Philippines. With cyber products as a key priority, it plans to expand Cyber Insurance offerings for not just consumers, but businesses as well. In addition, discovermarket is also actively looking for opportunities to offer solutions that fosters financial inclusion by working with the relevant ecosystem partners.

(L-R) Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC) Senior Vice President Makoto Tanabe, APC Chief Sustainability Officer Ernie Carlos, ACEN Senior Account Manager Elisah Cabato, APC President Koichi Ozaki, APF Bulacan Factory Director Juanito Ramos Jr. and APF Bulacan Factory Manager Kei Tanigawa.

Ajinomoto Philippines Corporation (APC) continues to be one of the industry forerunners when it comes to advocating for mitigating plastic waste and reducing its carbon footprint. Over the years, the Ajinomoto Group has been launching and introducing initiatives dedicated for environmental causes, and APC has been following suit with this movement that hopefully, will prepare the future generations for a greener and more sustainable future.

Just this year, APC launched the SariCycle™ Program with the Quezon City Local Government and Basic Environmental Systems and Technologies (BEST) Incorporated. This program allows for an incentivized model of community initiative that mitigates single-use plastic waste and encourages everyone in the community to take part as custodians of the environment. Since its launch in January 2024, the SariCycle™ Program was able to on-board 359 sari-sari stores in Quezon City and was already able to collect more than 1,000 kilograms of single-use plastics within just 3 months of operation. The program provides incentives to supplement the livelihoods of its store partners, dubbed “SariCyclers”, in the form of Ajinomoto product bundles and Environmental Points (EPs) which can be spent as cash in participating merchants.

Following this was the official signing of the Memorandum of Agreement between APC and ACEN RES. Back in 2022, a 1MW-peak capacity Solar Rooftop installation on the APF Bulacan Factory comprised of more 2,000 solar panels was energized, effectively reducing its annual carbon footprint from electricity consumption by 18%.Today, APF Bulacan is running on 100% renewable energy. Since January of 2024, the APF Bulacan Factory has saved around Php 2,000,000 in electrical expenses and has reduced their monthly carbon footprint by ~95% by transitioning to full renewable energy. To commemorate the turnout of these efforts, APC and ACEN conducted a Badge Turnover Ceremony. APC was one of the first companies to receive the new generation of ACEN Renewable Energy Badge – awarded to partner facilities who are supplied with 100% renewable energy.

The AjiPanda Diner at Ajinomoto Philippines Flavor Food, Inc. or APF Bulacan Factory.

Aside from being a beacon of sustainability, the APF Bulacan Factory also boasts of its newly opened canteen that serves healthy and good food! At the official opening of the “AjiPanda Diner”, a factory tour was also conducted for some of Ajinomoto Philippines’ invited guests from the media. The group were first given a brief history of Ajinomoto, an orientation on the factory dresscode, safety precautions and the proper conduct during the tour before heading to each station at the factory. The tour was concluded with a lunch buffet highlighting Filipino dishes we all grew up loving like Chicken Tinola, Pork Adobo and Chopsuey, all thoughtfully cooked using Ajinomoto products.

Ajinomoto Philippines’ media guests are all suit up at the Production Area during their factory tour at APF Bulacan.

Aside from the cozy and relaxing ambiance at the AjiPanda Diner, all employees at the Bulacan Factory also enjoy free vegetable dishes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as part of APC Group’s Workplace Nutrition Program. True to its name “AjiPanda Diner” the canteen shares the wholesome Ajinomoto experience through culinary service, not just for its employees, but also for factory visitors. Within the complex, employees and visitors can feast their eyes on an array of sumptuous dishes cooked with Ajinomoto products to ensure that every meal is served with quality and the best flavors!

ONE TEAM. All smiles under the scorching heat at the façade of APF Bulacan’s newly opened AjiPanda Diner.

Looking back at these milestones, APC is honored to share that their commitment to achieving their goals for sustainability based on their 2030 Roadmap remains as resolute as they have always been. Projects launched over the years by APC continue to adapt and evolve according to the needs of the Filipino community but remain to serve its ultimate purpose of taking care of the environment where everyone can truly Eat Well, and Live Well, through the Ajinomoto way of life.
