Globe reaches out to flood victims in Pampanga and Pangasinan through Libreng Tawag

Leading telecommunications company Globe Telecom sets up Libreng Tawag stations in Pampanga and Pangasinan which were severely affected by the “habagat” to assist residents who needed to assure their family and friends of their safety or to request for aid if necessary.

Libreng Tawag is now available from August 16-18, 8 am to 5 pm, at the 3rd floor of the Calasiao Municipal Hall in Pangasinan, and the San Matias Elementary School and San Vicente Municipal Gym in Sto. Tomas, Pampanga.  The said areas are being used as temporary evacuation sites for about 900 families.

Pangasinan and Pampanga are two of the areas in Luzon submerged in floodwaters as a result of heavy rains caused by the southwest monsoon over the weekend.

Through its Bangon Pinoy program, Globe provides help to Filipinos affected by disasters by providing communications facilities and relief operations.

BPI Family Bank FREE 1-Year Comprehensive Insurance with Acts of Nature Coverage

Extending for another time to our valued clients

BPI Family Auto Loan is calling on car buyers to take advantage of the FREE 1-year comprehensive insurance with Acts of Nature Coverage before it ends on December 21, 2012. 

This promo was initially implemented from February 1 to June 1 this year, but was extended several times to cover most of 2012 because of the clamour from BPI’s clients who have earlier planned to buy their new cars this year. The promo aims to make car ownership EASY for BPI clients as the initial cash payment for buying a car (Down payment + LTO registration + chattel mortgage + comprehensive insurance) is drastically reduced with the free comprehensive insurance. The cost of a comprehensive insurance usually amounts to three percent of the market value of the car which means a savings of about PHP 30,000.00 for a car worth PHP 1, 000, 000.00.
