Wazzup Pilipinas!

Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade, once again, reiterated to all officials and employees of the department to not accept gifts of any kind from any other individual or organization such as vendors, suppliers, customers, employees, potential employees, and potential vendors or suppliers, to avoid conflict of interest, and to uphold the department’s high standard of ethics in public service.

“Bawal mag-solicit o tumanggap ng regalo. Kusa niyong layuan ang lahat ng klaseng regalo kahit pa ito ay kusang ibinigay sa inyo (ngayong Pasko),” Tugade said at the department’s flag raising ceremony on Monday, November 7.

He further warned that he will be “unforgiving” to all officials or employees who will receive or solicit gifts. This is one way to demonstrate the department’s commitment to treating all people and organizations, with whom it come into contact or conduct business with, impartially.

“I have a way of knowing it. Bawal tumanggap ng regalo sa opisina, sa parking lot, o sa bahay ninyo (mula sa mga government contractors),” the secretary further said.

In line with President Rodrigo Duterte’s anti-corruption directive among government offices, this policy is also in conformity with the following laws enacted to guide the conduct of public officials and employees: Republic Act (RA) No. 3019 (Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act), Presidential Decree (PD) No. 46, s. 1972 (Making it Punishable to Receive, and for Private Persons to Give Gifts on Any Occasion, Including Christmas), and RA No. 6713 (Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees).

That Maine “Kiss” is a Winner, Gets BDO the Asian Banker’s Best Social Media Initiative Award


Wazzup Pilipinas!

BDO Unibank has won the Best Social Media Initiative award in the recently concluded Asian Banker Country Awards for its “Project Kiss” campaign that featured one of its celebrity endorsers -- phenomenal star Maine Mendoza.

The campaign, anchored on the message "Abot ang Pangarap ‘pag BDO ang Kausap", was a social media megahit, with the video reaching more than 5.6 million Facebook users since its launch in March this year.

“BDO effectively took advantage of the social media to advertise and market its products. One of the bank’s most engaging initiatives was the Project Kiss campaign to promote its savings account, which has reached more than 5.6 million people in Facebook,” The Asian Banker said. “The bank also implemented a social media e-learning program to provide its employees with adequate knowledge on existing social media policies and effective ways to properly engage and handle customers.”

The Bank also received the Best Deposit Initiative in the Philippines and Best Mobile Payment Initiative citations during the Country Awards, which was held in conjunction with the Philippine International Banking Convention.

“BDO’s Peso Savings Account significantly contributed to the Bank’s retail deposit growth of 23% in the first half of 2016. Extending banking hours and offering weekend banking have helped to boost the bank’s deposits,” The Asian Banker added. “BDO opened new branches in malls to reach more customers.”
