    Het is inderdaad een goed artikel, maar als je helemaal Apple/Androidloos door het leven wil met, zeg een UbuntuTouch smartphone, of een Nokiaatje, hoe kun je dan nog uberhaupt deelnemen aan het openbare leven?

  2. GCash To Implement In-App OTPs On June 22, 2026

    GCash, the popular mobile payments service and electronic wallet, will implement the in-app, one-time password (OTP) feature on June 22, 2026, according to a business news report by GMA News. The move is a serious attempt to prevent digital fraud.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…

    Globe-backed fintech GCash is rolling out an in-app one-time password (OTP) feature beginning June 22, 2026.

    The security upgrade replaces text-based codes with OTPs delivered directly within the mobile application. To prevent any disruption to transactions and account activities, GCash is urging users to ensure that their device’s push notifications are fully enabled.

    GCash said the move is in line with the directive of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas to phase out SMS-based OTPs by June 30, 2026.

    The measure also supports the enforcement of the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act (AFASA), which aims to strengthen cybersecurity safeguards and curb the growing incidence of digital fraud, GCash said.

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are an active user of GCash, were you ever a victim of digital fraud or online theft? Do you think GCash’s new move will keep users safe from fraudsters, hackers and scammers?

  4. So an #eWallet #digitalBank has been offering a No Annual Fees #creditcard. Months* ago I decided* to get 1 because they're a good #bank and because it's good to have a backup card.

    1st: Submit a request and they'll check if I qualify. It includes submitting a Reference 👤's name. I did not give a name.

    2nd: "Yay, Evelyn! You qualify! Now fill out an application.. give us a Reference 👤.. we will contact them..." I did NOT complete* the application, due to the Ref part.

    Today*: "Welcome!"📱

    🤪!!

  5. TIEZA’s 16-Year Legacy of Transforming the Travel Tax Into Tourism Development

    Since its establishment in 2009, the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA) has emerged as a key driver of tourism-led growth, harnessing the power of the Philippine Travel Tax to fund sustainable infrastructure, attract private investments, and uplift local communities across the country.

    Over the past 16 years, TIEZA has redefined how tourism development contributes to nation-building and how every traveler’s contribution can transform into lasting impact through projects that enhance accessibility, preserve heritage, and promote inclusive growth.

    Building the Foundations of Tourism

    Between 2021 and 2025, TIEZA implemented over 200 tourism infrastructure projects nationwide, improving access, safety, and sustainability in key and emerging destinations.

    Among its flagship accomplishments is the rollout of 34 Tourist Rest Areas (TRAs) across major travel corridors  — modern facilities designed to enhance traveler comfort through clean restrooms, tourism information centers, and spaces that promote local products.

    This initiative earned international recognition as the TRAs were named “Infrastructure Project of the Year (Tourism Category)” at the GovMedia Awards 2024 in Singapore.

    TIEZA also spearheaded the rehabilitation of heritage and flagship tourism assets, including the Banaue Hotel and Youth Hostel in Ifugao, Mount Data Hotel in the Cordilleras, and the Gat Andres Bonifacio Shrine and Eco-Tourism Park in Cavite.

    It likewise preserved historical landmarks such as the Malinta Tunnel in Corregidor and Escuela Pia in Batangas, supporting the growth of cultural and educational tourism.

    “Our role as the builder of tourism infrastructure goes beyond construction, enhancement, and rehabilitation. It’s about connection. Every facility we build connects travelers to destinations and communities to new opportunities,” said TIEZA Chief Operating Officer Mark T. Lapid. 

    Driving Investments and Sustainability

    TIEZA continues to strengthen the tourism economy by developing Tourism Enterprise Zones (TEZs)  — strategic areas that offer fiscal incentives to tourism-related enterprises.

    These incentives include Income Tax Holidays, Gross Income Tax in lieu of national taxes, and VAT and duty exemptions, which create a business-friendly environment that encourages both domestic and foreign investments.

    Flagship TEZs in San Vicente (Palawan), Panglao Bay Premiere (Bohol), Rizal Park (Manila), and Corregidor Island (Cavite) are now emerging as sustainable, world-class tourism hubs designed to balance economic growth with environmental responsibility.

    In 2024, TIEZA also signed a landmark Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with Premier Islands Management Corporation (PIMC) for the management of the Aquilino Q. Pimentel Jr. International Convention Center (APICC)  — a model of efficiency and innovation in government asset management.

    That same year, TIEZA’s partnerships generated ₱104 million in revenue, marking a 14.29% year-on-year increase from ₱91 million in 2023. These earnings are reinvested into infrastructure development and community livelihood programs, ensuring that tourism growth remains inclusive and sustainable.

    Tourism Assets That Thrive

    TIEZA’s own tourism assets have shown exceptional growth, proving the agency’s effective management approach. In 2024, the Club Intramuros Golf Course in Manila generated ₱79.3 million in gross revenue, which marked a 2.98% increase from its ₱76.9 million revenue in 2023, a steady increase since the pandemic.

    As one of the oldest golf courses in the country, it stands out as one of the most successful and enduring government assets under the management of TIEZA.

    Its status as a thriving tourism asset is deeply grounded not only in its operational strengths but also in its cultural value, accessibility, and its contribution to Manila’s tourism and economic growth.

    Other flagship assets including the Zamboanga Golf Course and Beach Park in Zamboanga City and Mount Data Hotel in Bauko, Mountain Province have consistently seen significant performance improvements in recent years driven by upgraded facilities, sustainability measures, and stronger local partnerships.

    Recognitions and Reforms in Public Service

    TIEZA’s institutional reforms have been recognized nationally and internationally. In 2024, the agency received the Civil Service Commission’s Bronze Award (Level 2 PRIME-HRM) for organizational excellence and achieved ISO 9001:2015 recertification, reinforcing its culture of transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.

    That same year, TIEZA co-presented the Philippine Tourism and Hotel Investment Summit 2024, which convened over 200 business and industry leaders to strengthen the country’s tourism investment ecosystem through infrastructure innovation and policy alignment.

    A Vision for the Next Decade

    Looking ahead to its 20th year and the implementation of the National Tourism Development Plan (NTDP) 2023–2028, TIEZA is set to expand its portfolio of sustainable tourism projects, modernize travel facilities, and deepen collaboration with the private sector.

    “Our story is one of service and sustainability,” Lapid said. “The goal is not just to welcome more tourists, but to ensure that every destination we develop empowers the Filipino communities behind them.”

    By turning the Philippine Travel Tax into a force for national development, TIEZA continues to deliver on its mission of Building Tourism Together.
