Image
Uniting families, alumni, and partners to build the future of Philippine junior golf Recognizing that the future of Philippine golf is built by more than athletes alone, the Junior Golf Foundation of the Philippines (JGFP) proudly announces the launch of The JGFP Community—a national movement that brings together families, alumni, corporate partners, and supporters behind one shared mission: creating more opportunities for the next generation of Filipino golfers.

GBonds enables Filipinos to access bond investments with yields up to 7%

Image
GCash makes fixed income, dividend-paying government bonds with zero default risk more accessible in-app to help Filipinos keep up with inflation As inflation continues to impact household budgets and market volatility persists, more Filipinos are seeking investment options that can help preserve and grow their hard-earned money.

These barriers have historically limited participation, particularly among small savers looking for secure investment opportunities. Through GBonds, a feature available within the GCash app, powered by Philippine Digital...

How disaster-proofing businesses can help mompreneurs thrive

Image
A typical day for a mompreneur involves balancing family responsibilities, customer orders, and business growth. In the Philippines, where typhoons, floods, and other calamities can disrupt daily life without warning, business as usual can change in an instant. For home-based entrepreneurs, these are more than natural events. They can damage supplies, delay deliveries, cut off communication with customers, and disrupt an important source of household income. Building a disaster-resilient business does not require a complicated corporate plan. It starts with understanding the risks of operating from home and preparing simple ways to protect essential resources, continue essential operations, and recover more quickly when disruptions occur. Here are some of the most common challenges mompreneurs may face during a crisis, along with practical steps they can take: 1. The inventory trap: Spoiled or damaged supplies Power outages can spoil ingredients, while flooding can damage raw materials...
