Celebrating the Culture of San Mateo at Amiya Raya’s Kanayunan Festival

It was a sunny Saturday morning that greeted guests as they gathered at Kala Commons in Amiya Raya in San Mateo, Rizal for “Paintings & Panoramas’ The First Kanayunan and Art Festival. The event was a celebration of the arts, culture, and the people of San Mateo, set against the picturesque 270-degree unobstructed view of the Metro Manila skyline.

Not even the threat of Typhoon Betty could stop guests from gathering and enjoying the different activities and sampling the offerings at the different booths at the festival. Local entrepreneurs showcased their wares, many of which are homegrown businesses from around the area. Native kakanin and treats were being served up, made by artisanal food sellers from the area, for everyone to sample. Just the perfect midmorning snack before the main festivities began. As guests were going around, they were also treated to a special performance by the San Miguel 152 Band. It was a great way to discover all that San Mateo, Rizal had to offer not only to residents but to those looking to settle in the area.

One of the special activities at the Kanayunan Festival was a mural presentation by the young artists who are under the care and tutelage of the Angat San Mateo Community. Aside from sharing their story via a short video, they also did live painting sessions on-site during the day.

The program for the ‘Paintings & Panoramas” opened with welcome remarks from Community Creators, Incorporated President, and CEO Charina Garcia. She thanked everyone for heading out for a day with family, spent outdoors and close to nature. Hon. Bartolome “Omie” Rivera Jr, Mayor of San Mateo Rizal also shared an inspirational message, speaking of the beauty of his municipality, being that sweet spot between city living and the great outdoors right beside mega Quezon City and the City of Marikina. The head of the Municipal Tourism Office of San Mateo, Pia Dela Rosa-Manadero, shared with everyone all the fun and exciting family-forward activities that have become popular in the area.

“Paintings & Panoramas”, the first Amiya Raya Kanayunan and Art Festival, was made possible with the support of Community Creators Incorporated, in cooperation with the Local Government of San Mateo Rizal and the Municipal Tourism Office.

The Kanayunan and Art Festival is one of the traditional family get-together activities from Amiya Raya for residents and locals from around San Mateo. It is the idyllic locale for those craving for a day surrounded by nature and the mountains in cool balmy weather. One of the more popular family activities hosted by Amiya Raya at their clubhouse in Club Vihara is Cinema Under The Stars, where everyone can gather and enjoy an evening watching a movie while lounging in the grass and bonding with loved ones and neighbors. Last Easter, residents got to come out to join “The Great Eggscapades,” where children got to join the Easter Egg Hunt, bunny painting contests, and other fun games.

Amira Raya is a master planned residential development that is just a quick 15-minute drive out of the city. The developments boast of a 270-degree unobstructed view of the Metro Manila skyline from 160 to 240 meters above sea level. It is fused with its natural landscape, offering its homeowners a dream sanctuary, amidst cool weather and a pollution-free environment. At the end of a long day, there is nothing better than coming home to a place where you can relax and breathe in fresh air.

RCBC Moneybela Barangayan Banking Fuels PH’s Financial Inclusion Campaign

Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation’s (RCBC) MoneyBela Barangayan Banking boosted bank onboarding in rural areas by 210%, reached a total of 13,116 barangays or approximately 31% of the 42,000 total barangays nationwide, enabled millions of unbanked and underserved Filipinos to open their first basic deposit accounts, and grew gross transaction volume by 103%. This remarkable feat was accomplished in a record time of only six months since the flagship program was launched in November 2022.

The RCBC MoneyBela Barangayan Banking is a one-of-a-kind campaign and the first in the Philippines that hybridizes physical-digital or phygital banking services serving geographically distant and disadvantaged and conflict areas of the country. It fuses the best features of digital banking and human connection by bringing RCBC’s award-winning and world-renowned digital solutions to marginalized and rural communities, including RCBC DiskarTech and RCBC ATMGo.

The Moneybela campaign also engaged micro, small, and medium enterprises (mSMEs) through the RCBC NegosyanTech program which empowered sari-sari store owners, family-owned establishments, and grassroots businesses to earn additional income and capital by facilitating digital transactions such as cash deposits and withdrawals, bank transfers, bills payments, e-loading, and availing of teleconsultation plans and microinsurance.

As a core component of Moneybela Barangayan Banking, RCBC ATMGo is the country’s first bank-agnostic, last mile, and grassroots-oriented mobile-point-of-service ATM service, to Filipinos in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas such as Busuanga, Coron, and Cullon in Palawan province, and in armed conflict-prone areas such as Lake Sebu in South Cotabato, and all provinces under the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. The residents can withdraw government benefits without having to travel far and spend on costly transportation. RCBC ATM Go also provided additional income to small entrepreneurs who became RCBC’s ATM Go partner merchants and helped RCBC serve Filipinos in remote areas.

RCBC is the only private universal bank in the country with the most extensive reach through its RCBC ATM Go network covering all 82 provinces nationwide with over 1,400 terminals deployed at the end of 2022 and is poised to grow to 10,000 units or a projected year-on-year growth of 614%. RCBC ATMGo now has over 1,200 partner merchants. More than 65 percent of ATM Go’s financial transactions are social grants and cash withdrawals by household beneficiaries of the national government in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.

 RCBC conceptualized the Moneybela Barangayan Campaign as a response to the call of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to expand financial inclusion and literacy efforts, as well as the concerns of yet-to-be-banked Filipinos that they are not digitally literate and they need assistance in bank onboarding. RCBC had special launches of this initiative during the Kadayawan Festival in Davao City and Masskara Festival in Bacolod City in 2022, and early this year, in the Dinagyang Festival of Iloilo City and in the Pinya Festival of Calauan, Laguna recently.

Making financial inclusion happen, one barangay at a time. Moneybela Barangayan Banking in action at Cabanatuan City.

Lito Villanueva, RCBC Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer, shared that the campaign successfully targeted unbanked Filipinos who were reluctant to embrace digital finance because of a lack of knowledge and underserved Filipinos who lived in areas wherein few or no banks and ATMs are operating to cater to their daily needs.

“By combining the power of revolutionary digital solutions and the impact of meaningful human relationships, RCBC has successfully created a compelling case study of engaging Filipinos in remote, marginalized, distant, and conflict areas and providing them with financial and digital literacy, and access to a wide array of empowering products and services,” said Villanueva.

“The massive growth of our digital products and services can be attributed to our philosophy that Innovations should come with Empathy, and to the diligence and ingenuity of each RCBC employee whose dedication to finding and creating breakthroughs in finance is forever inspiring,” added Villanueva.

RCBC MoneyBela, being the first of its kind, has earned commendations from none other than the Philippines’ finance leaders, BSP Governor and Monetary Board Chairman Felipe Medalla and Department of Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno, during its official launch at the RCBC Plaza last year.

“I am really so happy that if there’s any bank that embodies the goal of bringing BSP closer to the people, it is RCBC. You [RCBC] deserve all the honors you are getting for combining old ideas like cash-lite banking,” Gov. Medalla said.

“Beyond bringing more Filipinos into the fold, your latest project [RCBC MoneyBela] shows that the future of banking requires human-centric and empathy-driven design. I am very pleased to see RCBC make significant headway in this area,” Sec. Diokno said.

RCBC is one of the country’s fastest-growing banks, and the most awarded for its banking innovations.  It is now the Philippines’ 5th largest privately-owned universal bank that breached the P1-Trillion asset mark by the end of June 2022 despite the COVID-19 pandemic. RCBC’s continuing digital and business transformation further enhanced its value and reach. With this, RCBC has become the most awarded bank in the Philippines. Among its global and local recognitions include a three-peat award as the Philippines’ Best Bank for Digital by Asiamoney, back-to-back wins for Best Financial Inclusion App by The Asian Banker’s Financial Technology Innovations Awards, and the YouTube challenger award for its viral and out-of-the-box digital ad campaigns generating combined views of over 17 million. Just recently, RCBC was also hailed as the Grand Champion for Digital Payments and Financial Inclusion by the Bankers Institute of the Philippines.

Bank of Botswana Seeks Inspiration from RCBC’s Digital Success

The Bank of Botswana (BoB) plans to create its own version of Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation’s (RCBC) award-winning digital solution – RCBC ATMGo, in their home country. The bank agnostic, grassroots-based, and mobile powered RCBC ATMGo is among the three digital solutions showcased by RCBC Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer Lito Villanueva to BoB Deputy Governor Dr. Tshokologo Alex Kganetsano to help jumpstart the African bank’s digital transformation.

“We are beyond elated for RCBC to be chosen as a benchmark for the Bank of Botswana. By becoming a standard for other countries, RCBC fulfills its mission of redefining inclusive banking through cutting-edge innovations in both the local and international scenes,” Villanueva said.

RCBC ATMGo is the Philippines’ first  community-based,  bank-agnostic, last mile ATM service that uses mobile point-of-scale devices to make bank withdrawals, balance inquiry, bills payments, bank transfers, phone credits loading, and cardless withdrawals available and accessible to people in geographically isolated and displaced areas. It has been the Philippine government’s trusted digital payment disbursement partner even before and at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which continues until present for the withdrawals of social welfare benefits for Conditional Cash Transfer household recipients under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) of the national government. Close to 70% of its transactions are cash withdrawals of Pantawid CCT household beneficiaries done in rural areas.

RCBC is the only private universal bank in the country with the most extensive reach through its RCBC ATM Go network covering all 82 provinces nationwide with over 1,400 terminals deployed at the end of 2022 and is poised to grow to 10,000 units or a projected year-on-year growth of 614%. “This is a testament that investing in the rural and remote areas for convenient bank access can be a risky step but can ripple change industry-wide and globally,” Villanueva added. RCBC ATMGo now has over 1,200 partner-merchants.

RCBC hosted the Bank of Botswana delegation in its RCBC CollHub or Collaboration Hub in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Joining the BoB delegation were Ms. Sheila Sealesta, Advisor of Banking Currency and Settlement Department; Mr. Julius Ghanie, Director of Information and Communications Technology Department; Mr. Moeti Modimana, Head of Property Management Procurement and Projects; Ms. Ruth Baltshepi, Coordinator of Digitalization and Innovation Hub; and Mr. Vincent Golebetswe, Banking Manager.

RCBC has been awarded the Philippines’ Best Bank for Digital for three consecutive years given that “when it comes to digital solutions, RCBC remains the bank to beat,” according to Asiamoney.  RCBC rose from eighth in 2018 to fifth in rank by the end of 2022 amongst the Philippines’ largest privately-owned universal banks in terms of assets. With close to 80 regional and global accolades in three years, RCBC was also the first Philippine bank to receive the YouTube Challenger award for its trailblazing and viral digital ad campaign which generated over 14 million views in a few weeks. It was also recognized by the local banking industry as the Grand Champion for Digital Payment and Financial Inclusion by the Bankers Association of the Philippines (BAIPHIL).

CCP Cultural Exchange Conducts Apprenticeship Program for its Kaisa Sa Sining Network

The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), through its Cultural Exchange Department (CED), conducts the 2023 Apprenticeship Program for its Kaisa sa Sining (KSS) regional arts centers on-going until June 17, 2023.

 With ongoing rehabilitation of the Main Building, the CCP CED partnered with De La Salle University (DLSU), with the MSU-IIT IPAG Inc. of Iligan City as implementing partner, for this year’s Apprenticeship Program. The two-week capacity building is held at the DLSU Pardo Hall and the Teresa Yuchengco Theater.  

 This year, there are a total of 40 apprentices from 22 provinces and cities nationwide (13 from Luzon, 10 from Visayas and 17 from Mindanao). In the past years, the program accepted 20 apprentices per year and offered training and immersion on arts and production management, film and new media, visual arts, production design, library and archives, video production, and cultural exchange. 

For 2023, the CCP decided to accept more participants to train and focus on technical theater operations and stage management, which are the priority needs of the majority of the KSS partner organizations.

 The apprentices will receive mentoring on technical theater, with accompanying lectures, interactions, demonstrations, case studies, and practical applications from trainer-facilitators Arnelio Manzano, Joey Nombres, Ed Murillo, Roman Cruz and Orlan Absin.

The hands-on training modules are designed to enhance the competence level and skills of regional cultural workers in technical theater, stage management, and arts management.

 Now in its 6th year, the two-week capacity building training-workshop is one of the support programs that the CCP CED provides for its KSS network, which has 64 members nationwide to date, composed of local government units, educational institutions, and community-based organizations.

Ed Sheeran releases his new single ‘Eyes Closed’

Ed Sheeran has released his new single ‘Eyes Closed’ alongside the official video (watch here).

Ed originally wrote ‘Eyes Closed’ a few years back. Starting as a break-up song, the lyrics took on a whole new meaning after Ed suffered a heartbreaking loss, which led him to revisit and reimagine the original version of the track for ‘-ʼ. One of the most pop-leaning sonics on his highly anticipated new record, ‘Eyes Closed’ captures the essence of love and loss, which is also reflected in the official video. Directed by Mia Barnes, we see Ed on a night out being followed by a blue monster – serving as a metaphor for grief, Ed is unable to shake it, wherever he goes, reminding him of the void that’s left in his life.

Speaking of the new song and the video, Ed says, “This song is about losing someone, feeling like every time you go out and you expect to just bump into them, and everything just reminds you of them and the things you did together. You sorta have to take yourself out of reality sometimes to numb the pain of loss, but certain things just bring you right back into it.

When I was thinking of concepts for the Eyes Closed music video, I wanted to make a video inspired by movies like Harvey, where the main character has an imaginary friend who’s a giant rabbit that no one can see. There’s also a book I read to my daughters where sadness is encapsulated by an imaginary creature. Often sadness is something that follows you around, engulfing the rooms you’re in, and you can feel and see it, but no one else around you can. So I decided to create my own big blue monster for the video. He gets bigger and bigger as the video goes on, til he takes up whole rooms, and is all I can see, just like sadness.”

Announced earlier this week, his all-new, four-part documentary “Ed Sheeran: The Sum of It All” will air on Disney+ from 3 May 2023. Blending never-before-seen personal archives, interviews, and performances, the intimate documentary explores how his personal experiences have shaped him to become the artist he is today.

Feel Refreshed With Beko Air Conditioners

Say hello to the season of heat — this is the season where we all tend to cool down ourselves, so this is the time we seek ways to keep ourselves cool even with the summer heat.

You can enjoy the heat season without breaking the bank since the global appliance brand Beko offers a wide range of energy-efficient air conditioners to let you escape the summer heat and beat high electricity bills.

Feel refreshed with the Beko BSEOG Split Air Conditioner series! The Beko BSEOG Inverter Premium Series includes features such as the Double Gold Guard. It is an evaporator and condenser coil coated with hydrophilic gold and can improve heating efficiency by accelerating defrosting. This evaporator and condenser can withstand the salty, air, rain, and other corrosive elements and it effectively prevents bacteria build up.

Worry no more about cleaning as it has a Go Clean feature, a frost cleaning system where the evaporator coils blow hot air to defrost the ice and dry it thoroughly.

You might also be moving around your home to do some chores. Just like the Beko BSEOG 120 and BSEOG 121, it’s a great thing that these air conditioners have a Zone Follow feature where you can get more precise and effective temperature control. The remote controller sensor will sense the temperature around the user to ensure an even temperature for user comfort.

Beko air conditioners have 4D Air Outlet technologies that lets you now feel comfortable every inch of your room that lets you focus on your tasks.

Got plans to stay outside? Welcome yourself home with comfort since you can open your Beko air conditioner even when you’re away with HomeWhiz! With this feature, you can control your Beko BSEOG air conditioner from your smartphone by connecting to the internet, even outside. HomeWhiz allows you to keep the ideal conditions for you to feel comfortable until you’re back home.

Worried about the dirt that’s in the air? Worry no more since the BSEOG series also contains a MicroClean filter that captures tiny airborne dust particles that may pollute the air.

With the self-cleaning feature, the air conditioner could provide clean air to the user, preventing bacteria from breeding in the unit. Even when you turn the unit off, it will keep running to ensure the coil surfaces are totally dry, protecting them from getting rusty, before stopping automatically.

So, what are you waiting for? Cool your home and feel comfortable with Beko’s air conditioners this summer!
