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.  

End the Year Bright with the New Olay BodyScience Lotion

The past two years have affected lives in many unimaginable ways. As another year of living the pandemic ends, it is important to look back on the things you might have missed out on, especially with self-care. Have you checked your skin lately? It might be showing signs whether you’re ready for the New Year, or if the pandemic has taken a toll on you.

You have probably sanitized your skin — excessively, at some point, to protect yourself and your loved ones from the threats of germs and bacteria. Too much sanitizing can strip your skin of its natural oils and can lead to dryness and dullness. With Olay you can end the year bright and face the new year with a glow.

After a successful body wash launch in 2020, Olay Bodyscience comes back with the release of its much-anticipated lotion with the advanced skin technology of Olay — and it’s finally here in the Philippines.

Lacson to reduce poverty through education

Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson plans to solve the country’s serious poverty problem by providing more people the opportunity to get an education.

In his latest video, the presidential aspirant, who has battled government corruption throughout his career in public service, points out that many young people are forced to drop out of school because of the need to help their families and because being in school is  proving to be a heavy financial burden. Thus, they remain mired in poverty because without a good education their prospects are limited so they often have to settle for jobs that do not pay much.
