Wazzup Pilipinas!

Transportation Secretary Arthur P. Tugade led the launching of the new RRCG Transport P2P Bus Service Alabang – Ortigas route in Starmall Alabang this morning.

This initiative, which adds to the existing five (5) P2P routes operating in Metro Manila, aims to provide commuters with safe, reliable, convenient, and high quality public transport services that will reduce congestion along major thoroughfares, especially those coming from the south.

According to Secretary Tugade, the P2P is one of the many solutions that can help decongest roads if patronized by the public.

“This P2P will help alleviate traffic congestion if only people will cooperate and use it. I believe that a smoother flow of traffic will help us uplift the lives of our citizens,” he said.

Currently, the DOTr is supportive of ride-sharing services that offers public access to a cost-effective and quality transportation option that will encourage private car owners to leave their vehicles at home. 

BDO Brings Whole New Meaning to Gift-Giving with Junior Savers Account

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Nothing secures a child's future better and, at the same time, teaches them the value of saving than by gifting them with a BDO Junior Savers account this Christmas.

Children age 0-12 years old can open a BDO Junior Savers account and get a free BDO Junior Savers ID Card for as low as Php100.00 in initial deposit. On the other hand, kids from 7-12 years old may opt to get a BDO ATM Debit Card instead of a BDO Junior Savers ID Card.

To help boost the child’s initial savings, parents may opt to auto-transfer their funds from their existing BDO Savings Account to the child's BDO Junior Savers Account.

To open a BDO Junior Savers account under the child's name, parents just need to go the nearest BDO branch and present copies (including the original copy for verification) of any of the following: passport; school ID signed by the principal or school head; or birth certificate issued by the local civil registry or the Philippine Statistics Authority.

For further details on the opening of a BDO Junior Savers account, interested parties may visit www.bdo.com.ph.
