How to Enjoy Secure and Convenient Shopping This Holiday Season
PayPal gives 5 practical tips for safe online shopping

Christmas is officially in the air. The parols are out, Jose Mari Chan is dominating the airwaves, and Filipinos are checking off items on their holiday shopping lists. The festive season also brings with it the stress of navigating heavy traffic and long lines at retail stores. That’s why many opt for online shopping instead.

Ecommerce continues to gain popularity in the Philippines,¹ with convenience and security being the key drivers for this trend.² And why not shop online? The bargains are there, the selection is vast, and payment is convenient.

With online shopping expected to increase in the weeks leading up to December, opportunistic cyber criminals will be looking to prey on vulnerable online shoppers. According to cybersecurity firm Kaspersky, the Philippines was the fifth-most targeted country after Algeria, Nepal, Albania and Djibouti. This was attributed to the general carelessness and lack of online security awareness among Filipino Internet users, leading to a large number of drive-by download attacks.³

But being aware of these threats can ensure that your time spent after Boxing Dayis with loved ones and not customer service representatives. PayPal, one of the world’s leading commerce enablers, offers practical tips on staying safe while shopping online this season.
1. Only shop on secure websites.Start at a trusted site. Search results can sometimes lead you astray, and sales on other sites might look enticing, but make a few checks before giving up your info to any website.
Look out for the padlock icon on sites and ensure that they start with “https” before entering your account information and password. This means that the site is secure and any financial or personal details that you provide are encrypted.

To be extra careful, a quick check to see if this website has a social media presence can uncover reviews to see if there are concerns raised by other customers.

Also, beware of misspellings or sites using a different top-level domain (.net instead of .com, for example)—those are some of the oldest tricks in the book.
1. Use a strong password.A secure, unique password for each of your online accounts is never more important than when banking and shopping online. A strong password should be: more than 8 characters long; use upper case, lower case, a number, and a special character; not a word or date associated with you; a combination of words with unusual capitalization, numbers, or a special character; and most importantly, something you can remember.
But even a perfect password isn’t perfect. Another option is to use a password manager to create virtually uncrackable passwords for you. It’ll also keep track of them and enter them, so you don’t have to think about it.
1. Opt for 2-factor authentication.Having 2-factor authentication can prevent loss of confidential information & can prevent data from being hacked. This security measure has been used to control access to sensitive data and systems, and online services are increasingly introducing 2-factor authentication to prevent their users’ data from being hacked. It also prevents fraudulent transactions when someone tries to transact using your data.
1. Use Trusted Online Payment Systems.Link your credit card to your PayPal account to not just shop securely, but to also enjoy rewards such as cashbacks and rebates as well. Aside from being able to link multiple credit cards to your account, using PayPal to complete your online purchases keeps your financial details more secure while still enabling you to enjoy the rewards associated with each card (contact your card issuer for details).
PayPal’s Buyer Protection policy also covers eligible purchases, should anything go wrong with your purchase.
1. Beware of Phishing Emails.During key shopping periods like the Christmas season, you are likely to be swamped with festive e-mailers from your favorite online stores telling you about their fabulous promotions. While it may be tempting to click through, keep a lookout for tell-tale signs that it could be a phishing email.
PayPal’s world-class cyber defence centre provides coverage 24/7, 365 days a year. Through coordinated efforts, the company has successfully shut down 500,000 fraudulant websites annually. Lookout for potential red flags, such as poor grammar or spelling, and URLs and domains that don’t match the sender before clicking through the links.

By leveraging technology to make financial services and commerce more convenient, affordable, and secure, the PayPal platform is empowering 300 million consumers and merchants in more than 200 markets to join and thrive in the global economy.

Make Cooking Fun With Modern Technology

Whether you’re a busy career-focused millennial or a parent juggling work and family, it can be tough to find time to cook. Luckily, modern technology offers many useful tools that make preparing a gourmet meal at home easier and more efficient than ever. Your phone is your gateway to becoming a skilled amateur chef, as you can use it for everything from looking up recipes to keeping track of the time when you have a dish in the oven or a pot on the stove. Follow the tips below and discover ways you can use technology to make meal prep more fun and convenient.

Find inspiration for recipes online

One of the most fun parts of cooking for yourself is the diversity of dishes you can prepare. You’re no longer limited to the prepared meals you find at the supermarket. You can experiment with cuisines from around the world, creating an Indian curry one week and an Irish beef stew the next. Use your phone or tablet to search recipes online. There are many resources available. Food Network apps offers thousands of options to choose from, for example, while the award-winning Green Kitchen app is geared specifically toward vegetarian meals. When you pull up recipes on your hand-held device, you can easily consult them as you cook.

Get ideas from local restaurants

You can also find inspiration right outside your front door. If you have a local restaurant you love to frequent, scan their menu for ideas. Some of the food and drink recipes may have a unique local flavor that you want to emulate. You can even source your ingredients locally by finding a farmers market in your area. Simply drop an email to the restaurant to ask if they would be willing to share their recipe. If it’s top secret, you can turn the task of trying to replicate it into a game.

Create a digital shopping list for advanced planning

There’s nothing fun about getting halfway through a recipe only to discover that you’re missing an essential ingredient. Trust technology to help you plan in advance. The MealBoard app lets you combine recipe management, grocery and pantry management, and meal planning in a single place. Download it to your phone, and you will be able to refer to it when you’re out at the grocery store. You can even add your own recipes to the app.

Turn to technology to make your cooking healthier

Substitutions are a great way to make your cooking healthier. The American Heart Association recommends certain swaps to decrease the amount of sugar, sodium, and fat in your favorite dishes. For example, instead of whole milk, you can use low-fat milk, while instead of butter, you can use soft margarine or liquid vegetable oil. To simplify the process of substituting ingredients, use the Substitutions app. It provides a comprehensive list of what you can substitute for commonly used ingredients.

Beware of going over your data usage

When you start relying on technology to make cooking more fun, you will likely be using your phone more frequently. But surfing for new recipes that excite you can quickly eat up your data usage, especially if you’re away from home. This will result in added charges if you aren’t careful. Make sure you don’t exceed your limit by reviewing wireless phone plans and finding the right one for your needs. For example, if Verizon is your provider, the “Play More Unlimited” plan is ideal for streaming music and videos, while the “Do More Unlimited” plan is best for productivity.

When you take advantage of the above tech tips, cooking will quickly become enjoyable. You will also reap the health benefits that come with preparing your own meals, such as being able to proactively manage your own portions. With your trusty mobile device, you will make cooking more fun—and more nutritious.

RCBC, Liga ng mga Barangay work towards financial inclusion

Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) has taken the first steps to bringing its digital financial inclusion initiative to grassroots communities as it gets the support and commitment of Liga ng mga Barangay sa Pilipinas (LNB).

The LNB led by National President Eden Pineda, presented its national executive board resolution stating that the organization is adopting DiskarTech: Kasosyo sa Asenso as a growth enabler and capacity-building measure for microenterprises in every barangay and its constituents. DiskarTech is a financial inclusion accelerator platform by RCBC that aims to stimulate economic activity to help uplift the unbanked and underserved Filipinos.

The strategic collaboration will focus on accelerating financial literacy, promoting inclusive digital economy, and empowering local communities. This supports the government digitalization efforts aligned with President Duterte’s 10-point economic agenda on investing on human capital development, and promoting technology and innovation for self-sustaining and inclusive development towards poverty alleviation.

LNB is the official organization of over 42,000 barangays throughout the country. It is committed to providing avenues and assistance to promote welfare and ensure success of the national government’s National Strategy for Financial Inclusion and National Retail Payments System.

“This financial inclusion accelerator will be pervasive throughout the country as it would address the huge gaps in financial services while reducing the number of unbanked and underserved communities,” said RCBC Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer Lito Villanueva.

By adopting DiskarTech, LNB will be taking an active role in leading workshops and programs on financial education and literacy with the assistance of the DiskarTech National Coordinating Team. They will also be engaging its member municipalities to appoint their own DiskarTech Community Leader (DCL) who will facilitate participation of residents and entrepreneurs in the program.

“DiskarTech will pave the way for the real transformation of our communities nationwide as it would provide opportunities to our constituents, giving them the chance to be part of the formal financial system through technology,” said Liga ng mga Barangay National President Eden Pineda.

In an effort to encourage economic activity, partner sari-sari stores or microenterprises will also be identified as Barangay Digital Community Centers (BDCCs) to serve as the go-to hub of every resident for their financial needs – whether it’s paying bills, depositing savings to their accounts, buying micro insurance or sending money to their loved ones.

With this, RCBC hopes to turbocharge the growth of digital financial transactions in the country from the current one percent to a minimum of twenty percent by next year. Through DiskarTech, this initiaitve hopes to bring to realization the vision of Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas of creating a cash-lite and digital economy for greater efficiency, security, interoperability, and affordability.

Joining LNB and 20 other existing partners, a number of private organizations have also signed up recently to join the DiskarTech financial inclusion ecosystem to benefit their respective constituents. These partners include Ka-Entrep Micro and Small Entrepreneurs Organization of the Philippines, Bangko Pangasinan, and Rizal Microbank, among others.

Rural bank Bangko Pangasinan and thrift bank Rizal Microbank also share how DiskarTech would empower the agriculture sector with access to basic financial needs and microfinance loans.

“DiskarTech is an open platform and the way it works is that banks like us can communicate with other banks. Similar to an open banking system, there will be no barriers and it will become interoperable to make it easier to reach and assist the underserved market,” said Gregory De Guzman, Bangko Pangasinan president and COO.

DISKARTECH AS A NATIONAL FINANCIAL INCLUSION ACCELERATOR PROGRAM. The Liga ng mga Barangay, led by its National President Eden Pineda, recently presented its National Executive Board Resolution to RCBC Chairperson Helen Yuchengco Dee. Also in photo are (from left) RCBC Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation and Inclusion Officer Lito Villanueva and RCBC President and CEO Eugene S. Acevedo, Chairman James Marty Lim, and Executive Director Jel R. Jiongco. The strategic collaboration will focus on accelerating financial literacy, promoting inclusive digital economy, and empowering local communities. This supports the government digitalization efforts aligned with President Duterte’s 10-point economic agenda on investing on human capital development, and promoting technology and innovation for self-sustaining and inclusive development towards poverty alleviation. This will cover all 42,000 barangays nationwide.

Joseph Lumain, Strategic Partnerships and Special Initiatives head at Rizal Microbank, agrees that DiskarTech will be an effective way to reach numerous individuals at the same time. “Basically, what DiskarTech is offering are the basic services of a bank through digital means. And in an era where almost everyone is tech-savvy, DiskarTech can be the perfect solution to present financial services in an understandable way, and eventually helping answer the issue of financial inclusion.”

REX Digital Learning Solutions: A Holistic Approach in the Age of Data and Personalization

We live in a data-driven world. What does that mean? Not only do we go through life with so much information readily and instantly available for us, how we see the world around us also evolves because of this immersion.

The previous era was all about computing, the power of the machine and what it does to shape and accelerate our work, our thriving economies. Now, we are heading to a new era: the age of data and personalization.

Just like the era of mass computing, the age of data transforms information into more than just a set of codes, bits and bytes of readily exchangeable and transferable abstractions. Today, data and the concurrent analytic insights that it produces drives growth in almost everything. From businesses to the global economy, to grassroots organizations and policy-making, or sometimes even the smallest decisions: which way to commute, which restaurant to eat at, what clothes to buy.

Our lives are so intertwined with the digital world that it’s hard to imagine life without it. A data-driven world moves information and removes barriers to access, points of friction between industries, physical limitations. It inspires creativity and imagination, and propels humanity to make the world a better place to live in.

In the face of these changes, how do we ensure that young learners today are not left out in the vast oceans of information? As we shift to the age of data, it is important to understand that a holistic approach toward digital learning is key to securing our children’s future.

This is where the Whole Child Approach comes in. In a rapidly changing world, we are challenged to change the conversation and shift how we think and do things. Holistic education, through the vision of the Whole Child initiative, introduces new ways of engaging the age of data and personalization. The WCA does this by creating, supporting, and sustaining digital learning environments and materials that supplement and enhance a young learner’s journey in school and beyond.

Such a process involves not just tech gadgets, digital learning modules, and learning platforms: it goes well beyond that. It involves understanding the young learner as the center of the whole process, understanding that they all have unique ways of learning, ensuring that their personal and psycho-social growth are understood and adequately addressed. It involves raising the Whole Child with a learning community that cares for them, nurtures them, and helps them grow as responsible individuals with a commitment to helping build the nation forward.

As we move forward in the 21st Century and adjust to the radical changes brought about by the 4th Industrial Revolution, it is important to remember what sits at the core of a world undergoing digital transformation: the human person. With the Whole Child Approach, academic institutions and learning communities can help young learners become safe, healthy, supported, challenged, and engaged.

Through all these innovations and disruptions made possible by the advancement of technology, REX believes that our young learners today deserve only the best, a classroom for the future that is designed to help both educators and learners communicate, collaborate, think critically and creatively, and shape the future of education today.

BDO Foundation PH teaches financial education to kids through storytelling

A boy who succeeds in getting his dream toy, an enterprising high school student who uses her creativity to earn income, and a modified version of a well-loved folk song—these are just some of the content used to teach youngsters the value of saving money and preparing for the future.

The materials, which come in the form of videos, are part of the training tools developed by BDO Foundation, the Department of Education (DepEd) and Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to promote financial education among public school students from kindergarten all the way to senior high school.

Gandang Girlie Video – “Ganda ni Girlie,” describes how a high school student’s resourcefulness and creativity help her earn income even in her youth.

“Young people are into watching videos. We thought it would be best to come up with financial literacy videos that would not just entice, but more importantly, educate them,” said BDO Foundation president Mario Deriquito.

He also said the strategy to leverage storytelling and music was meant to provide entertainment while educating children on the very important subject of personal finance.

Savings from her earnings

“The beauty of stories and songs is that they are easy to remember. Kids appreciate the materials better because they can easily imagine being the characters in the stories. This makes the materials so powerful in teaching and inspiring,” Deriquito continued.

Five financial education videos for students have been released to date. These aim to catch students’ attention and enable them to learn about the value of money at the same time.

The said tools, developed by BDO Foundation in partnership with DepEd and BSP, were deployed to public schools nationwide by virtue of DepEd Memo No. 32, series of 2019, signed by DepEd Secretary Leonor Briones.

Finishing touches for her springless notebook business

The videos include “Walk Hard for the Money,” which tells of an elementary school boy who chooses to walk to school instead of commuting despite being given allowance. Along with other money-making efforts, these eventually pay off, allowing him to buy an electric scooter, which he later rides to school.

Another video, “Bente Bente,” conveys the same message to young school children to the tune of “Tong Tong Pakitong-kitong.”

Inspired by the Filipino folk song Magtanim ay Di Biro, “Umutang ay Di Biro” also uses music to tell older students to save their allowance, limit spending and pay debts on time.

“Ganda ni Girlie,” meanwhile, describes how a high school student’s resourcefulness and creativity help her earn income even in her youth.

“Save to Have a Million: Junior Edition” discusses the right attitudes in handling money through a game show.

Other than the videos for the students, the financial literacy learning tools also include lesson plans, discussion guides, and financial education videos for teachers and non-teaching personnel.

Ice Candy business during weekends

“It is very important that the students start the habit of saving while they’re young,” Deriquito emphasized. “This is our strategy for greater financial inclusion among Filipinos in the long run.”

A survey conducted by global financial services firm Standard & Poor’s revealed that only 25% of Filipino adults are financially literate. This is lower than the global average of 33%.

“We hope that the videos encourage the students not just to live for the moment, but prepare for their future by saving and spending wisely now,” Deriquito added.

BDO Foundation will be developing more financial education materials together with DepEd and BSP in the future.

The foundation also has financial education programs for overseas Filipino workers and their families, army personnel and their families, and small farmers. Its programs will further be discussed in a web series on YouTube.

BDO Foundation is the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank.

How to Rebound from a Career Setback by Starting a Business

Facing failure is inevitable on any path to success. Although a setback can be discouraging, try not to let it zap your confidence — this is the perfect opportunity to start up a business of your own! Thanks to modern technology, it’s easier now than ever for anyone to start their own business on any budget; all it takes is hard work, persistence, and a little know-how. Here are some things to keep in mind as you get ready to launch a successful business of your own.

Build a Great Website

Any business — from ecommerce to home-based consulting — needs a website. Even if you’re not going to sell anything online, a website will help you reach new customers and encourage them to return. Ensure your website is organized and easy to navigate; a whopping 38 percent of people will leave a website if the layout is unattractive! So, hire a professional web designer or build your own site using a reputable site-building tool.

You will also need to find an affordable and reliable web hosting service to get your website online and ensure it remains up and running at all times. InMotion Hosting is a popular option, providing a variety of web solutions, including dedicated servers and support for WordPress hosting, to help new businesses get off the ground. With plans starting at just $6.39 per month, it can be an excellent option for entrepreneurs on a limited budget.

Write Engaging and Informative Content

A website is nothing without engaging content. So, try to develop a combination of text, pictures, and video content so you can cater to all of your site’s visitors. Remember, your readers have a short attention span, so put your most important message at the very top of your website; if needed, you can then go into detail further down on your page. Also, keep your sentences short and use plenty of white space to enhance readability!

Learn How to Market Online

Once your engaging and informative website is online, it’s time to start thinking about marketing. According to Forbes, digital marketing is the best budget-friendly way to target a specific group of consumers. Social media marketing, content marketing, and email marketing can even be free if you’re willing to create content on your own time. Starting a blog on your website and promoting this on social media platforms is an excellent way to draw in customers. If you want to pay for digital ads, consider hiring a marketing expert. Without the right expertise, it’s easy to spend your dollars on ad campaigns that don’t work.

Get Feedback from Your Audience

Before taking your business too far, get feedback from your customers so you can fine-tune your product and your customer service approach. Send out an email survey to your customers or ask questions on social media. Don’t just ask customers what they like about your product or service; ask them what they’re unhappy about. Additionally, find out what you could do even better by asking your customers for suggestions.

Prioritize Customer Service

As you start to acquire your first few customers, put plenty of time into customer service. Since it’s cheaper to retain customers than it is to acquire new ones, HubSpot recommends focusing your attention on your existing customers. Happy customers are more likely to buy from you again, recommend your products to others, and choose your business over your competitors.

As you start making more sales and dealing with more customers, you may want to hire a customer support team to ensure your customers are well cared-for. If you try to handle all of your customer support inquiries on your own, you’re going to spread yourself thin. Remember that many customers expect replies within one hour!

A career setback is not the end of the world; in fact, it may just be the push you need to finally go after that big idea you’ve had on the back burner all these years. So, get started planning your new business today for a brand new path to a meaningful life.

Finding A Common Ground: A Holistic Approach to Education for the 21st Century

What do we really talk about when we talk about the future of learning? We talk about today, what is happening now, and how our decisions today will affect the next generations of young learners.

There is no discussion of how the field of education has been undergoing a radical transformation without first acknowledging that the 4th Industrial Revolution is here, and that we have to face its challenges together. Its effects have shaped and defined the practices and theories that we share and develop as stakeholders of education to help raise the Whole Child: we acknowledge the importance of a holistic perspective when it comes to health, we make sure that our schools are safe and open learning environments, we rethink the ways with which we engage the new generation of learners, we strive to create a holistic learning community, and we do our best to prepare young learners for the challenges that our world faces today.

Holistic education is a way for teachers, parents, and the communities supporting young learners to help raise them by nurturing their innate gifts and talents in a balanced and conscious manner that lets them grow as responsible individuals, whole persons who understand their role in helping our nation face the challenges of the 4th Industrial Revolution.

Today, there are problems and challenges that we face which didn’t exist before: technological advances bring forth new ways of doing things, but they also bring a slew of concerns over new forms of harassment and harmful effects from too much exposure. With this in mind, help emphasize the importance of physical and mental health in 21st century education: that is to say, we connect a young learner’s sound mind with a healthy body, to help them grow and adapt with how the world has changed, fostering positive relationships in the learning community and making sure that they are in safe, secure, caring and loving environments.

Yes, we have acknowledged time and again that the world is changing, and with it, the young learners of today are, too. Their set of basic needs now includes instant and reliable access to the internet, dependable devices that sustain their digitally immersed lives. With this reliance came a shift in certain aspects of the path to holistic learning which needed adjustments and new forms of intervention that would remain relevant in today’s dynamic, collaborative, and fast-paced learning environments. This meant engaging the not just the new generation of learners by motivating and stimulating their curiosities outside of what they’re accustomed to, but also connecting with and engaging learning professionals who support the learners with a holistic approach to education.

We do this by complementing what we already know with what we can apply through patient and persistent practice: helping and supporting everyone in the process of learning from teaching professionals to students and the community around them to become equipped for the 21st century. By immersing and engaging professionals in the education sector with results-oriented and research-based learning programs, we help them understand the relevance of their work towards sustaining the Whole Child initiative.

Today’s rapidly changing world demands us to change the way we think and do things, and holistic education through the Whole Child initiative is the first step to ensuring that today’s new generation of young learners are prepared to take on their role as builders and makers of the future. With a challenging curriculum and an involved learning community behind them, we hope to help advance not just their academic excellence, but more so their personal growth that would, in turn, shape their lifelong success and development as responsible individuals and citizens of our nation.

At REX, we strive to bring quality learning solutions that step up to the challenges and demands of education in the 21st century. We help teachers, schools, parents, and learning communities prepare and nurture the young Filipino learner for a better future: one that is built on values of human connection and social justice, one that pushes forward progressively with critical thinking grounded with careful reflection.

We believe that preparing the young Filipino learner means finding a common ground, a common space to share and grow together. With the Whole Child initiative, we hope to bring a sustainable and holistic approach towards education in the 21st century.

There are many ways to think about the future, but there is only one place to prepare for it: today. Learn more about holistic approach to education for the 21^st century here: https://www.rexpublishing.com.ph/whole-child-initiative/
