Get a chance to become a millionaire with PayMaya’s PayMayaguinaldo promo
There’s a game show I used to watch called “Who wants to be a millionaire?” and it got me thinking what if I actually won 1 million pesos? What would I do with it? What should I buy? Should I invest it? There’s a couple of answers in my mind and I want to share it with you!
First, let me just say that taking care of your finances is very important, even if it’s a small amount you should know how to use it properly. Now, I have been thinking about this ever since and there’s a couple of things I wanted to buy but the first thing I will do is to invest it and start a business, most likely a franchise! Since I’m a foodie and it’s a constant I will franchise 2 businesses, fries and milk tea. Then if there are some left I will keep some in the bank and some share with my mom. I’m the type of person who would rather invest in something and let it grow in time rather than be a one-time-big-time millionaire and spend it all in a day (but wouldn’t it be nice to spend it and buy beautiful things).
I know it’s a little far-fetched but there is actually a chance for you to take home P1,000,000 when you use PayMaya for your purchases! Yes, you heard me right! Thanks to their PayMayaguinaldo promo, Paymaya users can get a chance to win as much as 1 million pesos in their Grand Raffle Draw this coming January 19, 2021. They have already given 285,000 pesos worth of prizes this December and I can’t wait for the grand draw. So how can users earn raffle entries? Here’s how:
#ScanToPay via PayMaya QR at any PayMaya partner merchant with a
minimum of P100 purchase. My favorite place to use my PayMaya app is when I buy groceries at Fishermall and Mercury Drug, also when I buy food from Amber, Jollibee, Chatime, Army Navy, and a lot more! You can check them here
Pay with your PayMayaregistered mobile number when you buy items online with
a minimum of P100 purchase.
Purchase prepaid load and other treats at the PayMaya in-app shop with a
minimum of P100 purchase.
Users get one raffle entry per P100 purchase, the more you spend, the more raffle
entries you get to earn. So if you’re planning to do a bit of New Year’s shopping with all the upcoming sales, this is the best time to use your PayMaya account.
And if you don’t have a Paymaya account yet, you can register at this link: https://official.paymaya.com/CAK1/425eb133
It’s very easy and convenient to use the Paymaya app when purchasing especially in these times where physical contact should be minimal. I especially enjoy it when I scan to pay when buying groceries plus it gives me more raffle entries for the Grand Draw too! So don’t forget to ask for the QR code when you purchase or buy food to gain raffle entries.
How about you? What will you do if you won 1 million pesos today? Share it in the comments section!

As the whole country adapts to changes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, many enterprising Filipinos are turning their entrepreneurship drive into full-fledged businesses, utilizing the power of social media and cashless payments technologies.
To help accelerate the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) all around the country, digital financial services leader PayMaya launched its
A play on the words "business" and diskarte–which describes
"Filipinos are innately ma-diskarte and we've seen this enterprising spirit rise above the challenges we've all faced in the past months due to COVID-19. On top of this, our entrepreneurs are already tech-savvy and familiar with digital platforms," said Raymund Villanueva, Head of PayMaya QR Ecosystems. "Now that they've established their homegrown businesses, PayMaya Negosyo's 'Bizkarte' program will help them accelerate their business in this new economy."
To sign up for the Bizkarte program, entrepreneurs and MSMEs only need to download and register for an account through the PayMaya Negosyo app (http://pymy.co/PayMayaNegosyo

Upon signing up, Bizkarte program members will instantly have access to the Bizkarte Negosyante Kit, which will contain social media templates and how-tos that they can use to help promote cashless payments for orders through their Facebook or Instagram pages, via email, or through chat apps.
They will also get the chance to promote their products and services to millions of PayMaya users across the country on PayMaya-owned channels including the PayMaya app, website, and social media accounts. Their customers who pay using PayMaya, meanwhile, can enjoy exclusive perks of up to 100% Balik Bayad when they #ScanToPay via PayMaya QR.

"We hope that through this program, we can help turn casual online sellers into full-fledged negosyantes who can rely on their home-based businesses for income even after the crisis over," Villanueva said.

Apart from these, PayMaya Negosyo offers entrepreneurs more ways to earn money by selling mobile prepaid load and other digital goods available in the app. Soon, they will also be able to accept bill payments and remittances (with proper documentary requirements) through PayMaya Negosyo.
MANILA, Philippines, July 20, 2020 — Locally stranded individuals (LSIs), currently staying at the Philippine Ports Authority, recently received assistance from the PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) and TV5 Alagang Kapatid Foundation, Inc. (AKFI) who paid them a visit and advised them on health protocols while distributing snack packs and raincoats.
“We hope to provide some comfort and nourishment to over 200 LSIs patiently waiting at the port area for a ship that could transport them to their respective homes in places such as Basilan, Jolo, Sulu, Cagayan De Oro, Butuan City, Iloilo, Bacolod, and Cebu,” said PSF President Ma. Esther O. Santos.
“Though they are sad and distressed at having to wait for days and weeks in less than ideal conditions, well-meaning people who call on them to see how they’re doing, and the prospect of getting home eventually, lift their spirits,” Santos added.
During their visit, the personnel of PSF and AKFI shared basic information with the LSIs on standard health protocols - like wearing of facial masks, social distancing, and good hygiene - to be observed given the Covid-19 pandemic in our midst. We also listened to their heart-rending stories, said AKFI Executive Director Menchie Silvestre.
LSIs include local workers, students, and other individuals stranded in Manila and nearby areas - most of them enduring the devastating economic effects of the quarantine restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic - who have expressed their intention to go back to their original residence.
"There was a couple who got fired from their jobs and were evicted from their rented room in Laguna. They had no other recourse but to avail of the government’s Balik-Probinsya program, buying two tickets home with the little money they had. There was also a working student who almost choked in tears, thinking of the uncertainty of her situation.” Silvestre explained.
Under the government’s Hatid Tulong program, LSIs will be brought back to their home provinces after coordinating with the relevant local government units and LSI’s having completed health requirements.
AKFI is the social development arm of TV5. A non-stock and non-profit organization established in 2011, it is committed to promote and support humanitarian causes.
Meanwhile, PSF is a non-profit organization that fully serves as the social outreach arm of PLDT, Inc. and its wireless subsidiary Smart Communications, Inc. Headed by PLDT and Smart Chairman Manuel V Pangilinan, the PSF created programs focused on education, livelihood and social enterprise, disaster response and recovery, youth arts, and sports development.
PSF and AKFI’s visit to the LSIs is the first of their various outreach activities slated to mark the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Week this month.
