: PAYTACA ROLLS OUT CRYPTO-WALLET APP IN CEBU

Paytaca Inc., the first Financial Technology Application (FinTech App) developed in Eastern Visayas region, has successfully launched its Bitcoin Cash (B*H) wallet app in Cebu City on July 7, 2024.

โ€œStarting with this launch, we hope to grow the marketplace and our network of partner merchants in Cebu from now on,โ€ said Paytaca CEO Dr. Joemar Taganna.

He added that the use of B*H, though the Paytaca app, reduces payment processing and costs, โ€œletting us offer an online marketplace with lower prices and fees than competitors.โ€

โ€œWe bring this benefit to every city we enter, including Cebu. Our POS app also enables fast, almost zero-fee B*H payments for brick-and-mortar stores, saving merchants from the fees associated with credit cards and e-wallets,โ€ Taganna told Sunstar Philippines.

Aaron JP Almadro, Paytaca chief marketing officer, thanked the attendees and their Cebu partner merchants during the launching activity at the Robinsons Galleria Cebu.

โ€œIt was both scary and exhilarating to hold a launch at a new city, and Cebu, at that was on a whole different level. The team didn't know what to expect, but the Cebuano crowd was attentive and inquisitive,โ€ said Almadro.

โ€œIt was fun introducing Paytaca to our new found friends and we look forward to being a partner in the drive for a truly cashless, decentralized, and seamless payment system,โ€ he added.

As a mobile app that administers cashless payment transactions between a user and merchant, Paytaca is using a blockchain technology that guarantees a virtually tamper-proof recording of transaction.

Paytaca Chief Finance Officer Jomari Abellar was also amazed at how the Cebuanos "are welcoming and receptive to the idea of using cryptocurrency, particularly Bitcoin Cash, as a mode of payment for day-to-day transactions."

"We have not even officially launched yet in Cebu, but we have already onboarded several Cebu-based merchants. What amused me more was when I saw Cebuanos, young and old, installing Paytaca and trying to use it through our vending machine," he said.

After their launching in cities of Tacloban, Ormoc, and Cebu, Paytaca also aims to capture the market in Metro Manila and abroad, specially in countries in South America and Africa.

Almadro earlier said that they aim to be a payment option for utilities, banking transactions, and then large-scale businesses like commercial malls and convenience stores.

As the 2021 champion for the Philippines Start Up Challenge in the region, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST)-Eastern Visayas lauded Paytaca "for its commitment to harnessing technology to create an ecosystem that empowers businesses and individuals alike."

In 2023, Paytaca bagged the Innovation Champion and Outstanding Trailblazer Award at the 1st Leyte GULF Business Awards by the Tacloban-Leyte chapter of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) at the Oriental Hotel and Resort in Palo, Leyte. (By Ronald Reyes)

โ€œThe tournament is an inclusive, non-discriminatory event that welcomes men of all ages (except children below 12 years old) and abilities, creating a unique platform for participation, learning, and development,โ€ said Ariem Cinco, tournament organizer.

Registration is open until July 15, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. The registration fee is P700.00, and the cash bond is P300.00. Major prizes and special awards will be given to the winners.

The registration fee is non-refundable. Walk-in registration on the day of the league, July 19, is not allowed.

The Tabontabon One-Day Menโ€™s Volleyball League, a project under Cincoโ€™s โ€œCELLS: Cultivating Education for Love of Life through Sports,โ€ will serve as a platform for teams to benchmark good playing practices, exchange experiences and expertise on the hard court, develop camaraderie among teams, elevate the standard of games in the region, promote inclusivity and non-discrimination among men of varied orientations, encourage physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle, provide a platform for talent discovery, strengthen community ties, and offer a competitive yet friendly and fun environment.

To this day, Philippine studies, particularly Philippine history, have been predominantly taught in schools through the lenses of Western and Luzon-based historians. Although local writers have published local histories, these have been few and far between. Although there are also current moves to decolonize our textbooks, the particularities of our history, facts and figures, and dominant narratives have remained centered in Manila and its neighboring provinces.

For instance, apart from the arrival of Magellan in Homonhon on March 16, 1521, the First Mass in Limasawa on March 30, 1521, and Gen. Douglas Macarthurโ€™s Leyte Landing on October 20, 1945, no other historical event in Eastern Visayas can be read in basic and secondary education materials. Even the 1901 victorious Battle of Balangiga, fought by Samar freedom fighters, and the brutalities committed by the US army against the people of Eastern Visayas are excluded from the mainstream historical narrative of our country. Even more alarming is the absence of a discourse on culture and heritage in schools. Culture and arts activities are relegated to โ€intermission numbersโ€ and isolated to Buwan ng Wika programs. In effect, generations and generations of formally educated Filipinos are unaware of our local history, heroes, and heritage.

Too long have our history and heritage been viewed and taught from an outsiderโ€™s perspective. Too long have colonizers and their propagators monopolized knowledge production in our country. It is time that Filipino voices from the regions are heard.
In fulfilling our mandate to preserve, promote, protect, and advance historical knowledge and heritage consciousness, Leyte-Samar Heritage Society, Inc. will hold "Pagsubay han Aton Kabilin: A Leyte-Samar History and Heritage Forum."

This two-day forum, which translates to "tracing our heritage," aims to surface knowledge from the regions, particularly Eastern Visayas. It serves as a platform to enrich and disseminate the discourse of local history and heritage, address gaps in dominant historical and heritage knowledge, as well as enable institutional and community leaders to set their agenda and directions for development.

: Despite their regular presence during the annual Holy Week rituals, the traditional costumes of the Penitentes have also drawn criticism from non-Catholics, who compared the robe with the outfit of the US-based white supremacist group Ku Klux Klan (K*K).

โ€œMany Catholics who have less knowledge of the history of Catholic popular piety, see these Penitentes as evil and scary," said Urbina.

FILIPINO RESEARCHER PROPOSES NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION AGAINST CHILD MARRIAGE

Dr. Ma. Crisel Quibel-Inocando, a researcher and educator based in Maasin City, paid a courtesy visit to Southern Leyte Vice Governor Rosa Emilia Mercado on Monday, March 25, 2024, at the Southern Leyte Provincial Capitol to discuss plans for the establishment of
No to Child Marriage Non-Governmental Organization.

"Considering that there are still communities in the country which are practicing child marriage despite the passing of the
R.A. 11596 or otherwise known as An Act Prohibiting the Practice of Child Marriage, the No to Child Marriage NGO will act as the lawโ€™s umbrella to give aid and support to the victims, will provide shelter to the victims and give to the latter access to legal services, health services, psychosocial services, counseling, educational, livelihood and skills development," said Quibel-Inocando, who is also a certified public accountant and a third-year law student at the College of Maasin in Southern Leyte province.

"The NGO is forward-looking that if it becomes fully operational it will have a strong influence in ending the dehumanizing effect of child marriage and will eventually end the practice of child marriage across the world," she added.

Citing a 2021 study, Quibel-Inocando said that teenage pregnancies and child marriage "are among the pressing concerns the country is currently facing."

In 2020 alone, more than 102,000 teens aged 15 and above gave birth, including an additional 18,000 due to almost 10 months of community quarantine amid the pandemic, according to her.

"This compares to the estimate without community quarantine of 84,000, according to a study by the University of the Philippines Population Institute and the United Nations Population Fund," she added.

The proposed NGO is the output of Quibel-Inocando's research entitled "Child Marriage, Republic Act 11596, and the Impact on Childโ€™s Normal Development, Religion and the Countryโ€™s Economy," which she conducted from February-May 2023. I Photo by RM Reoma via Ronald Reyes/Sunstar Philippines
