e-bayad Tour in Quezon City

                A couple of days ago, my officemates and I went to Quezon City to check out their e-Bayad Tour project because we are bound to do the same for our upcoming business tax payment season. It was my suggestion to check out what other local government units are doing for this kind of event, so that we could adapt their strong points and perhaps avoid potential mistakes. Anyhow, when we talk about nation building, no local government entity should hold the monopoly of good practices. Good practices are meant to be emulated and shared.

                 The highlight of the activity is the passport stamping activity which enabled its participants to be aware of electronic payment options which are now available for them, such as but not limited to the use of mobile money, credit card and debit card payments during point-of-sale or online transactions.

The local government of Quezon City’s e-Bayad project was participated by GCash, Citibank, Landbank, and of course USAID.

                Valenzuela City be testing GCash acceptance among our taxpayers on April 19 and 20 in a pilot marketing activity. We are targeting July for our full blast e-Bayad Tour version.

I am quite lucky to belong in a workplace where employees are paid by simply doing what they love to do. In my case, a communication graduate, the thrill of meeting new people, exploring places, sharing ideas, manning events, and everything that falls in between – I consider these as the most gratifying episodes of my career life.
