DMCI Homes, Globe Team Up to Bring Digital Lifestyle to Condo Communities

Wazzup Pilipinas!

DMCI Homes, the country's first Quadruple A developer, has partnered with major telecommunications firm Globe Telecom to bring the benefits of digital lifestyle to its condominium communities.

Under the memorandum of agreement signed at the DMCI Homes Corporate Center in Makati City last July 11, DMCI Homes unit owners will now be eligible to avail Globe At Home Trial Plan 1899 Internet subscription package for free for the first two months upon move-in in selected DMCI Homes properties. These include The Birchwood, Mirea Residences, Asteria Residences, Sheridan Towers, Lumiere Residences, Viera Residences and Ivory Wood.

The plan comes with a 50Mbps speed with 600GB data allocation. Originally set as a 24-month plan, DMCI Homes’ homeowners and residents have an option to continue upon the expiry of the trial period. The package is also bundled with a free landline telephone set with NDD enabled facility for Globe and Touch Mobile.

Additionally, Globe Telecom also waived installation and modem for the convenience of unit owners availing the package.

“When you move into a home there are so many things that you worry about like where are you going to buy furniture, who’s going to do the interior design, you’re going to be unpacking so many things. The last thing you want to worry about is Internet because these days it’s something that people need,” Globe’s GTM and Business Development Director for Broadband Michelle Fernandez-Castillo said.

“It’s almost as staple as electricity or water. So when you move in, of course you don’t want to move into a home without electricity or without Internet. With this partnership, we can make sure that everything is convenient from the get go. You will have a seamless move-in experience and you will really enjoy your new home,” she continued.

Recognizing Globe Telecom as a quality brand and an advocate of digital lifestyle in the country, DMCI Homes Property Management Corporation (DPMC) operations manager Frederick Rapiñan expressed confidence that the agreement will help DMCI Homes attain its goal to be the best provider of residential communities designed to create quality lifestyle among residents.

"This project is a welcome development for our properties especially for the newly opened properties last year 2017. It will help our unit owners have more options for their Internet access. So this is a very good project for our unit owners," he said.

The partnership also plans to provide more convenience to DMCI Homes unit owners in the future through various mobile and cashless transactions.

Castillo said aside from providing fast Internet access, the company will be helping DMCI Homes communities enjoy the convenience of a digital lifestyle.

"There are a lot of things we are cooking up together with DMCI Homes, aside from being able to deliver fast Internet to all of their condominiums, we’ll also going to be helping them have cashless transactions in their condo communities since Globe is purveyor of a digital lifestyle," Castillo said.

"So we’re not just about home Internet but also total connectivity and we hope that this partnership with DMCI Homes will start to change the lives of so many Filipinos, making their lives more convenient and ultimately they will really enjoy the benefits of connectivity while living in a world-class location," she added.

DOTr-LTO, BTr, LBP Ink Deal for Nationwide Online Payment of LTO Transactions

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Department of Transportation-Land Transportation Office (DOTr-LTO) today signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Bureau of Treasury (BTr) and the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) that expands the use of LBP’s online payment facility for LTO transactions in all its Regional Offices nationwide.

 

During the MOA Signing, LTO Assistant Secretary Edgar C. Galvante said, “With this MOA Signing, LTO clients all over the country will soon be able to transact business and/or pay their monetary obligations with the LTO using any of the web-based payment options being offered by LBP.”

 

“The online payment system eliminates several steps in the payment process. This and the lack of human intervention make payments faster, easier, more convenient, and less prone to error. More importantly, the system decreases the opportunity for corruption,” the LTO Chief added.

 

Asec. Galvante explained that, “Initially, the online payment portal will cater to new registration transactions, expanding the service of LBP to cover not only the NCR but all LTO Regional Offices. Later on, the facility will cater to all LTO transactions.”

 

For his part, DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade said that this initiative is in line with the Duterte Administration’s thrust to streamline business processes in government.

 

“President Duterte’s directive was very clear— corruption must be stopped, and business processes must be streamlined so that we can provide comfort and convenience to the public. I am happy that LTO, the Bureau of Treasury, and Landbank are with us in making that happen,” Sec. Tugade said.

 

“Itong si Gen. Galvante at ang LTO, tahimik magtrabaho ngunit nag-dedeliver ng magandang resulta. Naresolba na natin at problema sa lisensya, at nagsimula na tayong mag-distribute ng plaka. Ngayon naman, ang payment sa LTO transactions sa lahat n rehiyon, magiging online na. Napakagandang development ho ito,” Tugade added.

 

It may be recalled that the LTO-National Capital Region(NCR) launched last June the use of LBP’s E-Payment Portal (EPP). LTO-NCR clients are now able to pay for new registration transactions using this facility. This was made possible through a MOA between the three (3) agencies which was signed last December 1, 2017.

 

Galvante said that the LTO-NCR has been gathering positive feedbacks from clients with regard to the ePP.

 

The success of the use of the LBP E-Payment Portal at the LTO-NCR, has made LTO more determined to pursue and expand online-based payment transactions.
