PayMaya supports LGUs push for digitization with real property tax raffle promo

Digital financial services leader PayMaya continues to make government transactions more convenient and rewarding for Filipinos with its contactless and cashless payment solutions.  

PayMaya counts the country's top local government units (LGUs) among its partners, enabling these cities and municipalities with digital payment acceptance solutions. It further strengthened the rollout of its LGUs Embracing and Accelerating Digitalization (LEAD) program this year since its launch in July 2020 to help more cities and municipalities build a digital-first community.  

The initiative is in line with the overall thrust of the government to promote digitization of person-to-government (P2G) and business-to-government (B2G) payments and supports ease of doing business in the public sector.  

To encourage more Filipinos to enjoy the convenience, safety, and security of paying their government transactions online, PayMaya is running the Real Property Tax raffle promo until December 31, 2021, with its partner LGUs.  

KonsultaMD gives LGUs opportunity to bring doctors to remote brgys

When the government implemented quarantine protocols all over the country, one of the consequences that has impacted local government units (LGUs) is the travel restriction imposed on their constituents, making access to healthcare and medical facilities more challenging specially for those coming from remote barangays all over the country.

In the Liveable Cities Challenge (LCC) Liveable Cities Labs Webinar Series dubbed, “Digital Transformation in a Post GCQ World: Building Healthy Cities and Municipalities,” KonsultaMD is giving LGUs the option of extending telemedicine to their constituents who live in far-out or remote barangays. KonsultaMD  is a subscription-based telehealth service that’s available 24/7, allowing access to skilled and licensed Filipino doctors who can provide safe medical assessment and advice on basic healthcare and proper medication. It is operated by Global Telehealth, Inc., a joint venture of 917Ventures, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Globe Telecom, and Mexico’s Salud Interactiva.
