Using Wise and Paypal to do Business Abroad

 

I've been using Wise for several months now. I never had these modes of payment until my clients asked me to. The same goes for Paypal and crypto; they paid me via these modes of payment for several years. I also use this to pay for different transactions, like purchasing goods and services abroad. 

Lately, I saw on freelancers and virtual assistance forums the reason why they use PayPal more often: the fee is very low. This is like the GCash of the world, sending money via mobile phone or desktop to more than 150 countries in 40+ currencies.

Wise's fee may be lower than PayPal's because PayPal is more established in the fintech industry. Wise offers transparent fees and upfront disclosure, while PayPal is less transparent. Wise uses mid-market without markups, whereas PayPal uses an exchange rate, resulting in fee variance. I find paypal beneficial as well is because I did create invoices within its internal system to bill my customers.

Since different businesses and individuals may have various forms of loyalty, I suggest you have accounts in both. For example, you could have an account with BPO or BPI bank, e-wallet GCash, or Paymaya just to please your customers.  So sign up for an online wise acct and debit card here.

Use Financial Literacy as an Advantage

I was a BDO user for more than 10 years. It all started in Makati. My BPO employer uses BDO ATM to pay our salary and commission. Then after the pandemic, I got transferred to my hometown Talisay City, Negros Occ, working as a VA for another 3+ years up to now.

It's a good thing that there are 2 brands of BDO in my hometown, so there's no need for me to go to Silay or Bacolod to withdraw cash from my salary.

I even used it to receive money from abroad for my blogging side gigs and fund my e-wallet also to pay my foreign associates in a snap of a finger.

I grew up in the market and have several family members and friends who fell into a trap via loan sharks. Although some market vendors or businesses succeed, the majority, in my own observation, are trapped in a mountain of debt.

Although it was told publicly, it is still quite difficult to explain to the majority. Imagine you borrow 5000 pesos from a lender and pay it 6000, which is 20% interest, in just one month. That's a lot! Compare to BDO in the diagram above. We are talking about at around 7% per annum interest rate, which means you can borrow from 10,000 to 1 million to grow your business.

Although I also utilized loans when I opened and operated several businesses, 20% is just too much for a month. To my fellow Talisaynons, the 2 branches of BDO are just beside and within walking distance from the public market. Feel free to inquire or visit if you want to borrow to expand, have an emergency, or grow your business.

Looking for Web Designer & SEO Specialist

                               

I started several free blogspot/wordpress blog 10 years ago as a side gig for contests and events. Eventually, they evolved into lifestyle and business pages. I have been selling SEO and Website Design since 2005 in the US and Canadian markets. I have closed hundreds of deals with contractors, doctors, lawyers, nonprofits, and all types of businesses. But I am not good at web design and SEO, how they are executed at the back end. 

I just know how it works: create and publish content and sell it via email, text, and cold call. Back then, I had lots of projects at Jaysonbiadog.com because I had a sponsors. After a year or so, the domain cost 10x more than its value to renew. Then, I had another partner for Jaysonbiadog.net, which is still active. 

A US-based client has recently asked me to look for a website designer and SEO person who works with keywords and Google algorithms, listings, and metatags. He actually pays well for this job role, so send me email jbiadog@yahoo.com. Include your cover letter, rates, resume and presentation of keywords you positioned on the 1st page of Google.

Sign up & get $50 free hotel or flight voucher

 

Before, I was skeptical about Crypto or other coin stuff. When I learned that you could not carry too much cash or jewelry in another country; it has a limit, or it may attract unwanted guests locally if you show too much bling/wealth stuff. Plus, the government will tax and hunt you, so I can see now the value of why people invest in those things rather than property, local/international bank or physical businesses. 

The good thing about this new tech nowadays is that you can book a flight and hotel via Travala using my code. Sign up for the link and get a $50 free hotel or flight voucher. Book 3,000,000+ hotels, flights, and activities with 100+ payment options, including Crypto and card, with 24/7 support. Get up to 10% back in Bitcoin and AVA rewards.

You may use it on your domestic flight or at a local hotel staycation. It's like browsing Cebu Pacific, Pal, Agoda, and Red Doors in one app. See my dashboard above. I am still busy now, but I might use it next week for either a flight or hotel staycation, I will let you know on my next post.

From Isolation to Inclusion: Beiersdorf Philippines, Watsons, and Plan International Commit to Drive an Empowered Future for Young Women

In photo from left to right Watsons Group Senior Category Manager, Zyra Tino Obias Plan International Portfolio Manager for Gender Equality and Inclusion, Twyla David Watsons Director for People Innovations Projects, Jose Arriola Beiersdorf Sales Director, Jacques Baisa Watsons SAVP for Marketing Communications, PR & Sustainability, Sharon Decapia Plan International Executive Director, Ana Maria Locsin Beiersdorf Country Manager, Nimisha Jain Plan International Program Director, Cathy Seco Beirsdorf Head of Route to Markets, Josefa Manese[/caption]Renewed partnership launches programs supporting girls’ mental health and career development

Girls hold the power to shape a brighter, more inclusive future—but far too many are held back by enduring biases and barriers that silence their voices, leave them isolated, and restrict their ability to realize their full potential. As the world celebrates the international Day of the Girl (IDG), there is a rousing call to action to create a world where girls are supported, included, and empowered to dream beyond limits.

Heeding this call, Beiersdorf Philippines, Watsons, and Plan International Pilipinas reaffirmed their partnership to intensify initiatives toward the upliftment of girls in the country.

Working side by side for two years now, the tripartite collaboration unites the members’ respective focus into a joint agenda charged to accelerate social change for young women.

From last year’s programs and discussions about girl’s rights, gender equality, equitable and quality health services and economic resilience, the partnership expands their programs to include pressing concerns on understanding the disempowering impact of social isolation among girls, promoting mental health and wellbeing, as well as creating pathways for career development.

As a brand that cares beyond skin, NIVEA of Beiersdorf, advocates for an inclusive society and aims to foster social cohesion through its global social mission, NIVEA CONNECT. Addressing the rise of social isolation among young women is critical because loneliness and lack of social connection increase their vulnerability to social injustices and hinder their overall development.

Beauty retailer Watsons, on the other hand, aims to inspire holistic well being, positivity and acts of care and kindness towards people, communities, and the planet. Part of its Sustainability goals under the People Pillar are their efforts to provide scholarships and career opportunities for the youth.

Meanwhile, Plan International Pilipinas, a development, humanitarian, child and youth-girl-centered organization working in the Philippines has been at the forefront of advancing children’s rights and equality for girls since 1961.

According to Plan International Pilipinas, girls' mental health is one of the core foundations for their success and well-being. By prioritizing self-care and seeking support, they empower themselves to thrive in both their careers and personal lives. Moreover, advocating for girls’ overall wellness is part of its agenda for girls’ rights and empowerment. It encourages them to exercise their rights, prioritize their overall health, and shape their futures.

For their IDG celebration, the three organizations mounted an event entitled “From Isolation to Inclusion: Empowering Girls, Shaping Futures,” that brought various stakeholders delivering learning modules on financial literacy, digital literacy, and career guidance to help girls from Punlaan School prepare for the future of work and navigate livelihood opportunities and professional empowerment.

Beiersdorf Philippines Country Manager Nimisha Jain in her opening remarks said, “NIVEA’s CARE BEYOND SKIN Sustainability Agenda is guiding all our actions across three critical areas: consumer, society and environment, forming a holistic approach. We want to “Care beyond Skin” by empowering women so that they can thrive.

She also shared findings from a NIVEA global study on social isolation which revealed that young people between 16-24 (38%), hybrid workers (52%), and heavy social media users (34%) feel the most isolated in society. She explained that breaking the cycle of social isolation entails building connections, fostering community, and having access to mental health resources, which are key components of NIVEA CONNECT.

“This partnership today is a perfect example of all three elements coming together. I am confident that with our willing & committed partners, we can make a meaningful impact to empowering young women and transition them from Isolation to Inclusion”

For the panel discussion, Beiersdorf Philippines Sales Director Jacques Baisa, Watsons SAVP for Marketing Communications, PR and Sustainability, Sharon Decapia, and Plan International Pilipinas Portfolio Manager for Gender Equality and Inclusion Twyla David dived deep into social isolation - how it has disadvantaged girls for centuries, interventions and solutions needed to stop the stigma, and how communities can create a support system for those in need.

The event culminated with the turnover of the Php 1 million donation from Beiersdorf Philippines for the continuation of Watsons and Punlaan School Apprenticeship Program where students are trained with a TESDA certified curriculum to gain skills needed to succeed in the health and beauty retail space. Participants are also assured of a permanent job as Pharmacy Assistants in Watsons after they successfully complete the program.

Lastly, the tripartite partnership was renewed in a MOA signing and formal declaration of support, reinforcing the institutions’ continued collaborative efforts.

Watsons SAVP Sharon Decapia pointed out, “At Watsons, we understand that our responsibilities go beyond helping people care for their health and bring out their innate beauty. For us to be able to help girls become the best version of themselves, we have to open up avenues for learning and understanding what the future will be like, and what issues can affect them.

This is what we have been doing with our partners - we are preparing them to be capable leaders of their families and communities.”

Plan International Pilipinas Executive Director Ana Maria Locsin said, “Today, we stand united with Beiersdorf and Watsons in our shared commitment to transforming the lives of Filipino girls and young women. The theme of this year’s partnership event on social isolation resonates deeply with our mission of advancing children’s rights and equality for girls in the country.”

“Gender equality and inclusion serve as powerful tools for understanding the barriers that prevent girls from accessing quality education, livelihood opportunities, and meaningful participation in decision-making. We firmly believe that when girls are empowered and included, they envision brighter futures for themselves and become catalysts for change, helping shape a world where we are all equal.”

For NIVEA, the fight against social isolation goes beyond the Philippines as it looks to set up local NIVEA CONNECT projects with partners in forty countries by 2026. All its efforts are in service of Beiersdorf’s long-term commitment to champion a more inclusive society.

Executives from Beiersdorf Philippines, Watsons and Plan International renewed their partnership and signed a declaration of support as a continuing commitment to the agenda of accelerating social change for young women.

SM Prime: Engineering a Sustainable Future

SM Prime leads the way in sustainable development, integrating sustainability into its core business strategy.

Sustainability has become a driving force across every industry. For SM Prime Holdings, Inc. (SM Prime), one of Asia’s leading integrated property developers, sustainability is elevated through a strategic framework that leverages the company’s extensive operations, significant economic impact, and cultural influence.

SM Prime’s sustainability journey began in the 1990s, guided by a focus on resilience and practicality. The company has always valued substance over style, favoring strategies grounded on real-world application rather than flashy, short-term fixes. Its strategy is built on what truly matters to the business and the community it serves, ensuring that its sustainability efforts are both effective and enduring.

In its 2023 Annual Integrated Report, SM Prime introduced its Sustainability Ambition Roadmap with a clear and powerful message: Together for a sustainable future – aligned with its vision of creating and managing innovative, sustainable, and integrated property developments that enhance the quality of life for all.

SM Prime’s sustainability strategy is built on three main goals: (1) Environmental sustainability, (2) Prosperity for all, and (3) Climate resilience.

Building on its sustainability framework of Economy, People, Planet, and Community, SM Prime identified three major goals to pursue: Environmental sustainability, Prosperity for all, and Climate resilience – all aimed to create a future marked by sustainability, resilience, and widespread prosperity by 2030, 2040, and beyond.

Under its environmental sustainability strategy are two significant programs released by the company: Net Zero by 2040 and #SMWasteFreeFuture.

Net Zero by 2040

SM Prime is committed to enhancing people’s quality of life by intensifying climate action, reducing disaster risks, investing in resilient design, protecting biodiversity, and implementing strategic corporate social responsibility programs, with its main focus on climate action toward a net-zero business. The company has been collaborating with the World-Wide Fund (WWF) for Nature-Philippines to establish science-based targets in alignment with the global commitment of a net-zero ambition by 2050.

“We understand the magnitude of the challenges we face to achieve our Net-Zero commitment. SM Prime is determined to take action and meet its climate commitments. This is one of our top agendas in sustainability,” said Jeffrey C. Lim, SM Prime President and CEO.SM City Santa Rosa's solar photovoltaic (PV) system has 5,772 panels at 3.088 MWp capacity and has an annual solar energy production of up to 4.292GWh.

#SMWasteFreeFuture

SM Prime launched its vision for an #SMWasteFreeFuture, in support of the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) International Day of Zero Waste. The program introduces a simple segregation scheme: Recyclable, Disposable, and Compostable (RDC), all aimed at reducing overall waste generation and increasing the waste diversion rate from landfills through sustainable disposal methods. The initiative was launched nationwide for SM employees and across all SM property groups and stakeholders.

SM Prime continues to support existing programs and partnerships that promote better waste management solutions. Initiatives such as SM Supermalls’ Trash-to-Cash recycling market, Plastic Waste Collection and E-Waste Collection programs, and regular coastal and estero clean-up activities effectively engage the community in rethinking their relationship with waste.

To address food waste, SM Hotels and Convention Corporation (SMHCC) has pioneered projects such as The Sustainable Diner with WWF-PH, diverting 198,640 kg of food waste through bokashi composting and 40,013 kg through biodigesters. SMHCC also launched Tela Tales, a program that recycles condemned linens.

SM Prime gathers the community for a #SMWasteFreeFuture.

SM Development Corporation (SMDC) recently partnered with Globe and Scholars of Sustenance Philippines for the Hapag Movement, aimed at targeting food waste and involuntary hunger affecting millions of Filipinos. “As a community, we strongly believe in our ability to contribute to solving today's waste issues.

We understand that this may seem like a daunting challenge to overcome. However, by joining forces, we can create a world that our future generations truly deserve – if we have the courage to take on this journey together,” said Hans “Chico” Sy, Jr., President of SM Engineering Design and Development Corporation (SMEDD) and SM sustainability champion.

Water stewardship

SM Prime is committed to water stewardship by implementing innovative water conservation and management practices, ensuring that properties developed are more responsive and adaptable to the changing needs of communities.

Through its sewage water treatment plants, wastewater is processed, preventing contaminated water from polluting local waterways and for reuse. The recycled water is utilized in malls for water closet flushing, air conditioning operations and landscape greening.

SM City Baguio’s Rainwater Filtration Facility addresses water security and ensures a safe and sufficient water supply for the operations of the mall and its tenants.

SM Prime Holdings, Inc.’s Chairman Henry T. Sy, Jr. receives SM Prime’s 30th Listing Anniversary Plaque from the Philippine Stock Exchange’s President and CEO Ramon S. Monzon.

Prosperity for all
SM Prime’s developments serve as catalysts for socio-economic progress, delivering tangible benefits to all stakeholders. Founded by Henry Sy, the company remains committed to his vision of bringing world-class developments to the Philippines. A vision perfectly exemplified through the Mall of Asia Complex which offers a blueprint for future cities that go beyond commercial success to embrace a holistic approach to urban development.

SM Prime celebrated its 30th year as a publicly listed company last July 23, signifying three decades of service and transformative growth in the Philippine real estate industry.

“True leadership is marked by a solid dedication to collective success. Our journey at SM Prime demonstrates the power of dreaming big and the incredible achievements that follow when you pursue those dreams with determination and hard work.” – JEFFREY C. LIM, SM PRIME PRESIDENT AND CEO

AXE releases 3 new Fragrances Proven to be Finer Than Perfumes

AXE has been around for more than 40 years, and since 1983, the innovative fusion of an eau de toilette and deodorant has proven to be a success for men worldwide. AXE once again shakes up the fragrance game by introducing a new collection that offers the essence of luxury for the man who wants to smell fresh, bold, and finer than fine. 

Here's the data to back it up. In a blind test against some well-known high-end fragrances, 8 in 10 men agreed they would replace their current cologne with AXE's latest innovation—the Fine Fragrance Collection.

Formulated by the best "noses" in the fragrance business right now, it's no wonder AXE's new scents got that many positive reviews and continues to get more by the day. 

Who are the "noses" in the fragrance industry? These are the only the best of the best who craft fragrances for some of the biggest luxury brands in existence today. 

Fragrance houses Givaudan and Firmenich and iconic perfumer Ann Gottlieb have both thrown their hats into the AXE ring and have created unforgettable scents using high-quality ingredients, but at price points for the everyday man to enjoy little luxuries in life without breaking the bank.

With its venture out into the world of fine fragrances, AXE stays authentic to its core—a body spray that is the perfect hybrid between a Fine Fragrance and a deodorant, evoking elegance and luxury with every spritz.

With the introduction of the Fine Fragrance Collection, not only are the scents created with high-quality ingredients, but AXE has also upped the ante when it comes to neutralizing odor. With Zinc Zap technology, it is designed to keep you feeling fresh and protected for 72 hours, guaranteed. That's three days of smelling as fine as you can be.

And when you smell as good as these fine fragrances could be, you won't mind. Choose from this range of scents, all in a league of their own, each evoking a different, confident vibe--Aqua Bergamot, Blue Lavender, and Emerald Sage.

Aqua Bergamot

Crisp and sparkling like crystal blue waters, Aqua Bergamot is as bright, light, and cool as its name. With essential oils of Bergamot, Sage, and Juniper, this is the scent if you're an island bro. Its earthy sandalwood and spicy nutmeg give this scent a remarkable "land and sea" harmony, lending modernity to this classic scent.

Blue Lavender 

Calm and collected, lavender and mint with amber notes mix to send a smooth, rich, and peaceful aroma. Think of this scent as a striking balance of sweetness and light, a bite of Italian gelato on a warm summer's day. It is a refreshing scent for the summer but with the headiness of warmth from the vanilla and tonka bean notes. 

Emerald Sage 

Love the outdoors? Emerald Sage may be the scent that harkens to nature's call. Infused with Geranium, Cedarwood, and Indonesian Patchouli, this scent is the most worldly of the three. 

Its top notes are Moroccan spearmint, French lavender, and Canadian Fir Balsam, with herbs and spices like Indian cardamom and the enduring scent of Virginian Cedarwood, among many others. All these ingredients are hailing around the globe, bottled, and created for you.

AXE continues to change the scent game with its Fine Fragrance Collection. Discover your new signature scent now.

BingoPlus continues to work towards refining the way Filipinos enjoy their time, ensuring better access to a wider range of games without compromising on the facets that make them enjoyable like the social enjoyment from playing with a group.

While BingoPlus is primarily involved in the gaming and entertainment industry, the brand has always aimed to elevate the leisure and enjoyment experience of Filipinos nationwide as a whole. This core principle aims to encompass the entirety of what “leisure and entertainment” means to the country, from local traditions to national events.

BingoPlus plays the role of an active supporter and champion of Philippine culture and entertainment. Many of the brand’s efforts include partnering with organizers across the country to make a variety of events more memorable to the Filipinos. 

This year alone saw BingoPlus travel to Cebu for Sinulog 2024, to Iloilo for the Dinagyang Festival, and to Baguio for the Panagbenga Festival.

Beyond traditional celebrations, BingoPlus also involves itself in modern forms of entertainment that are particularly important to Filipinos like pageants and awarding events. 

Notably, BingoPlus has taken on the mantle of Miss Universe Philippines 2024’s lead presenter. Its efforts range from preparing a summer photoshoot to spearheading an interactive campaign called #GandaPlus to hosting a special voting campaign for Miss BingoPlus 2024.

This year, BingoPlus has also included Village Pipol among its list of partners, joining the VP Choice Awards as the official presentor. 

The VP Choice Awards is meant to recognize the names and brands who have made exceptional contributions to the travel, lifestyle, entertainment, and technology industries. Winners of each category are chosen by the public through Facebook-based voting. 

For 2024, BingoPlus provided a second voting platform for the VP Choice Awards by creating a voting portal that was accessible through the brand’s website and online app during the voting period. It also presented two special awards during the event, which was presented by Angela Camins-Wieneke of BingoPlus Foundation.

The first award, Group Performer of the Year, was presented to Ppop boy group BGYO, while the second award, Celestial Star of the Night, was presented to actress Vivoree and actor Jeff Moses. The Celestial Star of the Night awardees each received Php 50,000 cash.

BingoPlus similarly brought home its own award, which was the VPCA for Charity and Technology Excellence. This award recognizes the societal impact of the BingoPlus Foundation, particularly in providing communities with accessible healthcare, education, security, and technological innovation.

Outside the awarding, BingoPlus made sure to entertain event goers and supporters alike by hosting an online campaign during the VP Choice Awards red carpet livestream. 

The brand encouraged viewers to like and share the event poster with answers to the poster’s questions and the hashtags #BPxVPCA and #5thVPChoiceAwardsNight. The campaign offered winners a total of Php 50,000 on GCash.

Event attendees, meanwhile, were treated to several BingoPlus freebies from the BingoPlus booth. The merchandise varied from a BingBing stuffed toy to a clear tote bag to a small pouch.

Dedicated to both its goals and the people, BingoPlus maintains its commitment to provide Filipinos with an online platform where they can leisurely access their favorite games as well as establish relationships within the household and community. 

By collaborating with Village Pipol, the brand believes it will be able to further understand the best way to provide exciting experiences to the Filipinos. The VP Choice Awards is also an opportunity for BingoPlus to gain a better grasp on what is enjoyable and entertaining for both its audience and industry peers.
