GCash Stories returns with a powerful new release featuring Turing Quinto, as the face of GCash’s “Werk With Pride” advocacy for Pride Month. Directed by Antoinette Jadaone, the film celebrates pride by putting a spotlight on GCash's commitment to inclusivity and financial empowerment while telling the story of strength and persistence of Filipino drag performer, Turing.

Turing gained fame as a contestant on the debut season of Drag Race Philippines. The short film delves into Turing's aspirations and determination to succeed in life while showing the challenges faced by breadwinners striving to make ends meet.

Just like anyone else chasing a brighter future, Turing works with pride, thanks to GCash. She reassures her mother, “Ako nang bahala sa pag tambling, Ma," despite the struggles their family faces.

Overcoming tears, she performs in her living room, cheered on by her family and supported by GCash, enabling her to receive tips from fans all around the country.

“Sobrang proud ako sa film na ‘to, kasi it really showed how GCash was there during some of my most challenging times,” shares Turing. “Especially nung lockdown kasi virtual shows lang ang nagagawa naming drag performers kasi sarado lahat ng bars and clubs, ang laking tulong ng GCash para makatanggap kami ng tips in real time, and I got to continue doing what I love the most.”

The premiere of Turing's GStories film took place at the GTalks: Werk With Pride event on June 22. GCash created GTalks as a space for meaningful discussions on topics that impact the everyday lives of Filipinos, such as providing access to financial services, diversity and inclusion, and climate action.

 

 

Sharing their own success stories with GCash, the Werk With Pride event also featured a panel discussion with LGBTQIA+ business owners and entrepreneurs Gabby Cantero, Butterboy co-founder Hilder Demeterio, and Nariese Giangan of Food for the Gays. They were also joined by LGBT Chamber of Commerce Representative Atty. Quino Reyes.

The local government of Quezon City (QC) and advocacy group Philippine Business for Education (PBEd) recently entered a partnership to boost the employ ability of young Filipinos in QC through the JobsNext program.

JobsNext, an initiative of PBEd in partnership with Citi Foundation, and supported by the Quezon City government with an investment of P6-million, will provide various training programs to equip Quezon City residents aged 18 to 25 years old with the necessary skills for jobs in the future.

PBEd launched partnership with the Quezon City Government to ensure that the Quezon City youth are prepared for jobs of the future IN PHOTO (L-R): Philippine Business For Education (PBEd) Program Manager for Workforce Development Ms. Florence De Castro; Quezon City Youth Representative Ms. Denie Leanne Fruto; Quezon City LGU Assistant PESO Manager Mr. Alex Macabulos; Quezon City University Vice President For Academic Affairs Dr. Bradford Antonio Martinez; QC LGU Assistant City Administrator for General Affairs Atty. Rene Grapilon; 2nd Legislative District of Quezon City Councilor Hon. Julienne Alyson Rae Medalla; PBEd Executive Director Ms. Justine Raagas; and Citi Philippines Head of Corporate Affairs Ms. Rodora “Dorski” Granada

The training programs will be provided by its development partners from Microsoft, ASEAN Foundation, Adaptive Technology for Rehabilitation, Integration and Empowerment of Visually Impaired (ATRIEV), and Amazon to address the demands of emerging industries, including information and communications technology, data analytics, software development, cybersecurity, and web services.

To further enhance the employability of trainees, training programs from Accenture’s Skills to Succeed Academy will be provided to nurture their soft skills such as growth mindset, critical thinking, problem-solving, and adaptability, which are essential qualities for success in the workplace.

“We see a high demand for tech skills now more than ever,” Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte shared. “The JobsNext program will not only give hope to our youth but also empower them. We must ensure that they have access to necessary tools, skills, and knowledge needed to thrive in the workforce.”

The local government of Quezon City emphasized its commitment to invest in the development of the Quezon City youth and the future of its workforce through upskilling programs

Rene Grapilon; 2nd Legislative District of Quezon City Councilor Hon. Julienne Alyson Rae Medalla; PBEd Executive Director Ms. Justine Raagas; and Citi Philippines Head of Corporate Affairs Ms. Rodora “Dorski” Granada with JobsNext trainees

“Quezon City is committed to investing in the development of our youth and we are committed to providing them with the competencies and skills required to address the changing demands of the future,” Belmonte added.

According to a 2022 joint report from the Asian Development Bank and LinkedIn titled “Digital Jobs and Digital Skills: A Shifting Landscape in Asia and the Pacific,” 64 percent of employers in the country said that demand for tech talent significantly increased in the past five years.

The same report showed that 6 of the 10 employees hired were required to have basic digital skills such as proficiency with collaboration tools or basic internet skills as companies implement automated workflows to increase the efficiency of their operations. In this kind of evolving work environment, it is critical for youth to enhance their digital credentials.

“Demand for digital skills continues to grow as technological advancements shape business models and transform workplaces. Our goal in PBEd is to equip Filipino youth with skills that will help them adapt and succeed in future jobs. This would not be possible without the support of the various local government units,” PBEd’s Executive Director Justine Raagas said during the partnership launch at the Quezon City Hall.

Through PBEd’s partnership with Quezon City, the LGU can improve the employability of the youth. The LGU’s Public Employment Service Office (PESO) will recruit potential JobsNext trainees and refer them to programs that match their preferred skills. To support the trainees, Quezon City will provide scholarship grants through its Youth Development Office.

JobsNext is already active in six LGUs and it has laid out steps to ensure its sustainability beyond its pilot run, including the capacity-building of six PESOs to enable them to better guide trainees from recruitment to deployment to accredited programs and institutions. JobsNext has also established six Local Future Skills Councils with its partner LGUs to oversee the overall implementation of the program in their respective areas.

These measures will allow the adopting LGUs, such as Quezon City, to take ownership and responsibility of the JobsNext program, and build on from its initial launch. Furthermore, JobsNext can build networks between future training completers and employers to address the growing demand for talent in technology.

“Our efforts have been focused on improving economic and employment opportunities for young Filipinos through our Pathways to Progress initiative. We believe in the talent and potential of the Filipino youth, and we want to empower them through this program and other similar initiatives to facilitate a better future for them,” Citi Philippines CEO Paul Favila said.

In the Philippines, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) comprise 99.58% of all businesses in the country and employ 64.67% of the entire workforce and are the driving force of the economy. These businesses, which include small community stores or sari-sari stores, water refilling stations, laundry stations, and many others, not only contribute to the country's GDP but also provide essential services to the local communities.

Such is the outsized importance of MSMEs that the United Nations (UN) designated every June 27 as International MSME Day to raise awareness on their immense contributions to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These enterprises play a pivotal role in driving local and national economies while also supporting the livelihoods of the working poor, women, youth, and vulnerable groups.

It’s no surprise that many Filipinos want to open their own small businesses. A recent survey by Philippine research firm OCTA Research showed that 81% of adult Filipinos want to be entrepreneurs. This desire to start their own businesses reflects the recognition of the opportunities and potential that MSMEs offer, not only in terms of economic growth but also in empowering individuals and communities.

If you’re one of the Filipinos who want to try their hand at starting their own businesses, here are some tips that can help you get started.

Starting an MSME in the Philippines

The first step of every aspiring entrepreneur is deciding what kind of business to open and where to open it if you plan on having a physical storefront. It’s essential to conduct thorough research whether there’s a market for your product or service, enough foot traffic and if the location is appropriate for it.

Aspiring entrepreneurs can also explore a hybrid phygital (a portmanteau of physical and digital) setup including offering online payments or e-commerce options to widen reach and market.

Second, once you’ve decided on the business and where to open it, get your necessary documentation and permits. In the Philippines, businesses are required to register with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), if they’re a sole proprietorship, or with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) if it’s a partnership or a corporation.

Businesses also need to get a Mayor's permit or municipal license from the city or municipality where the establishment is located. They also need to register with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) to ensure proper taxation. If they plan on employing other people to help run the business, registrations with other government agencies such as the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and Social Security System (SSS) are also required.

This may seem like a lot of steps but these registrations and permits ensure that you’re able and willing to run your business properly and legally by following applicable laws and regulations. For a full list of registration and permit requirements, DTI has compiled a list here.

Beyond securing the location and required permits, an important step when it comes to running a business is to protect your business from any unwanted incidents including injuries, burglaries, and accidents. Consider getting small business insurance like NegosyoCare. Created by regional insurtech Igloo in partnership with Malayan Insurance and GCash, NegosyoCare is an insurance product specifically designed to protect MSMEs.

“MSMEs are the backbone of the economy, but they often run on tight budgets and have limited access to financing. This puts them at risk when unexpected events come knocking and disrupt their operations. That's why having small business insurance, like NegosyoCare, is so important. It offers affordable and accessible coverage, giving these businesses the protection they need without breaking the bank,” said Mario Berta, Igloo Philippines Country Manager.

Available via GCash’s GInsure marketplace, NegosyoCare premiums begin at P160 for one-month coverage and up to P525 for one-year coverage. It provides coverage for accidental deaths, total permanent disability due to accident, and disablement or dismemberment due to accident for up to P50,000. Benefits also include medical reimbursement for accidents for up to P5,000, fire cash assistance for P10,000, and coverage for burglary and housebreaking for P10,000.

These tips only scratch the surface of what it takes to run a business in the Philippines, but by taking these steps, aspiring entrepreneurs can set themselves up for success and remember: protect your small business with NegosyoCare, available at the GCash GInsure Marketplace.
