Business Suggestion: Become a Bayad Center Partner in Your Neighborhood

They say for a business to become successful, one must be able to address the current need/s of your target market. Personally, I believe that aside from addressing the need, it should also be aligned with your own interest and passion. 

As a child, I love playing the part of an office girl. My typical play corner had lots of journals, notepads, pen, calculator and play money. I love processing orders, issuing receipts and doing lots of paperworks. Thus, when I grew a bit older, it has been my dream to have my own business/payment/airline booking center. 

As a homemaker, paying for household electricity, water, cable, and telephone bills is one of my common problems. The worsening traffic, higher fares, and longer queues from one payment office to another, all contribute to the hassle and stress of every paying consumers has to withstand every month. Not to mention since I work from home, I do not have the luxury of time to go out and pay our bills anytime and on different due dates.  

So, the idea of being a one-stop shop for all bills payment and e-loading needs is just perfect and I am so thrilled to discover that Bayad Center just made our lives a lot easier.

Understanding every bill payor's tiring journey, they introduced the Bayad Center Retail Machine. This will enable any small neighborhood establishment to transform into a multi-payment channel. Talk about accessibility and convenience.

Bayad Center Retail Machine carries Meralco's seal of service and integrity to the equation, enabling you to solve all your bills payment woes. You can be assured of #TatakSigurado.

Applying for the Retail Machine franchise is just as easy. With a minimal investment of P60,000, Small and Medium businesses such as your ever reliable sari-sari stores, neighborhood carwash centers, and even PUV terminals into more than just a loading center. This gives you a much higher earning potential if that's what you're looking for. The Retail Machine franchise carries with it the use of the Bayad Center brand and system, which is already a household name for bills payment in the Philippines.

Aside from bills payment, the Retail Machine also offers e-loading service, and soon, airline ticketing and remittance services.

IMPORTANT UPDATE TO ALL BPI DEPOSITORS (August 2016)

I love BPI. Express ATM banking, online and mobile banking are all really convenient for someone like me who does not go out much often. Their express assist (more details here) has been remarkable in cutting my wait time when I go to the branch for my banking needs. However, I only have 2 days left before I lose access to all of these. 

As mentioned in their website, If you are unable to update your account information on or before August 31, 2016, your transactions can only be serviced over-the-counter of our branches.  You will not be able to access your account via any of BPI’s 24/7 electronic channels (i.e. ATM , Online and Mobile) until you have submitted your CIS and ID.  

I guess we all do not have a choice but to comply on this and make sure to act quickly since payday is coming in a few days too. For more details, click here. 

UPDATE: If you check your BPI mobile app under the social feeds, you will see a recent update that states clients are requested to update their information on or before September 30, 2016 instead of the original announcement that says August 31. 


Also, if you have updated your client information this year, then you may disregard the advisory. 

Change The Way You See Love

Whenever we hear "LOVE", the first thing that comes into mind is our feelings towards our partners, family and even friends. 

It is such a short word that is so deep and powerful. Love entails sacrifice, selflessness, and hardwork that brings all of us joy, happiness and self-fulfillment. 

If we talk about our love for our family and friends, I believe that there is no need for further explanation. It's inate to all of us. However, I have always believe that we can still change and expand the way we see love. A love that goes beyond our families, friends and inner circle. A love for a stranger, a love for our fellow men and women, a love for humanity. 

Working in the development sector as a Project Officer allowed me to change the way I see love. Love is about caring for others and helping someone who is in need. Love is about volunteerism and fighting for a cause. Love is all about making a difference in this world It is about giving without expecting anything in return. 

So, Yes! We should all change the way we see love just like how Huawei P9 can "Change the Way You See Mobile Photography”. Huawei P9’s camera is co-engineered with Leica. It has dual lenses that produces high quality photos. It allows users to take amazing monochrome, slo-mo, colored, light painting photos among others. Definitely, expanding our potential in photography. 

With an amazing camera phone, I was able to capture love through volunteerism in support to the program for Persons with Down Syndrome.

How about you? How do you see love? #HuaweiP9, #OO #ChangeTheWayYouSeeLove

No one could ever imagine that you can get a hotel room for less than one hundred pesos. The big secret - just book in advance. When I say in advance, that's like 12 months ahead.

We also believe that if our trip won't push through -- it is not much of a heartbreak because it is just so cheap. :)
