GCash’s cybertheft incident: ₱37-M worth of transfers foiled

Have you checked if your GCash funds are still intact? 

On May 9, 2023, the widely-used e-wallet of Globe Telecom Inc., GCash, sent its users into a frenzy of rage after reports of cybertheft were posted online by a number of individuals. The application ended up going under maintenance for investigation rendering unusable, much to a lot of people’s dismay.

Small withdrawals were made collectively and sent to two recipient bank accounts. Initial estimates placed the total amount of questionable transactions, which came from its users, at ₱37 million, about a few thousands taken per transaction.

After users experienced illicit withdrawals from their personal accounts, GCash reassured its more than 81 million users that the service is still safe to use.

Although it has garnered loyal users over the years because of its accessibility and practicality, people continue to express worries about the platform’s security. Some users have growing doubts about the effectiveness of GCash’s security protocols, especially in light of the growing sophistication of online criminals.

Despite the fact that GCash has introduced a number of security features, like two-factor authentication and encryption, it is still important for users to be vigilant and take the appropriate measures to safeguard their accounts.

Bon Odori brings Japan to Cebu once again after three years

Okaerinasai, Bon Odori!

Bon Odori is finally back to being held in Cebu after three years. The beloved Japanese Summer Festival took place on May 6 and 7, 2023, at the Puregold open lot in the North Reclamation Area.

The cultural links between Japan and the Philippines are often celebrated throughout the country, and Bon Odori is one occasion that acknowledges the contribution of cultural exchange to this connection. This celebration, which occurs every year in different regions of Japan, has also spread to the Philippines, especially to the city of Cebu. 

The Cebu Japanese Association is in charge of organizing the Bon Odori events in Cebu. The Japanese community on the island is using this event to introduce the local population to their culture. It gives Filipinos the chance to gain better knowledge of Japanese culture and customs. The event had a three-year long hiatus due to some of the members in the community having to go back to Japan during the pandemic.

Fortunately for us, it is finally back with a triumphant return! Several entertainment facets included Japanese vocalist SHOGO (175R) along with the appearance of Japanese YouTuber Fumiya, and more. Contests were prominent as well for karaoke, cosplay, and beauty. Among other activities, there was a fireworks display with the Bon Odori dance as one of the main attractions of the event. Everything was accompanied by traditional Japanese cuisine, beverages, and games.

A wonderful instance of how cultural interaction can improve international relations is the Bon Odori festival in Cebu. The event offers a venue for Filipinos and Japanese to come together, celebrate their common heritage, and develop new bonds. It is a testimony that despite differences in culture, people can unite through celebration, music, and dance. 

For everyone interested in Japanese culture, Bon Odori is a must-attend event. It is also a wonderful chance to recognize the close ties between the Philippines and Japan.

The Brain Behind The Book

 “How to Kickstart Your Online Freelancing Career” is written by Kris Marie Dano. She is a freelancer turned marketing agency (Digital Savvy) owner and now an author. 

Before establishing her own agency, Kris started as a freelance writer. From there, she upscaled her skills and did video editing, SEO, graphic designing, and explore other niches. 

Starting was not easy for Kris as well, but she hustled to help take care of her late father with his medical bills while building her business. She also experienced many ups and downs, especially during the onslaught of Typhoon Odette. 

Kris shared how typhoon Odette affected her online business. She lost clients because of the signal loss. But she built her business again, and it all worked out from there. 

With her experiences and struggles, she wanted to make something to give back to the community, and alas, she thought of launching her own freelancing guidebook. When asked why she chose to do a book and not an online course, Kris said she wanted to make something people could get back to at any time. 

“I chose to write a book cos it’s easier, it’s something people can get back to, and they can bring it everywhere. It’s easier for those who do not have internet as well because they can access the book any time.”

Kris poured her heart and soul while making and writing the book. She consulted different people to help her brainstorm ideas and thus create a masterpiece that can help online freelancers kickstart their online freelancing journey. 

If you are ready to start your online freelancing career, then Kris Marie Dano’s Book is definitely the help that you need. So what are you waiting for? Purchase it now, learn the basics, earn, unleash the fire in you, and BECOME YOUR OWN BOSS.
