Only over a month after soft-launching the country’s first and only licensed Online Traditional Bingo (OTB) services under BingoPlus’ Remote Gaming Platform, it now has eight individuals winning more than a million each in jackpot prizes in quick succession.

 

Starting February 3, nearly16 million pesos in cash has been collectively won from playing BingoPlus online traditional bingo. The innovative game transforms the way traditional bingo is played by combining the fun and familiarity of traditional bingo with the excitement and convenience of technology and online access. The new game format was created by AB Leisure Exponent Inc.,  a subsidiary of Leisure and Resorts World Corporation (LRWC), to provide more playing opportunities to customers during the pandemic and is in line with its digital expansion plans.

 

The first winner took home P3,171,259 on February 3, followed by another winner (P1,364,302) on February 4. Since then, six more winners received P2,274,498 on February 7, P2,131,704 on February 11, P3,096,612 on February 16, P1,073,315 on February 17, P1,293, 739 on February 20 and P1,497, 924 on February 22 for a total of P15,903,353. This does not yet include winnings from non-jackpot games.

The first four jackpot winners were already awarded their prizes at the Bingo Bonanza Store at SM Megamall. The other winners are scheduled for another awarding ceremony.

 

One of the players who received over 2 million pesos said he will invest some of his prize money in a business and help his family pay their bills. He also plans to donate money to the church being built in their area and help some relatives. “I’m inviting everyone to play this game. I was able to prove this is really a legit game,” he said.

 

LRWC President Andy Tsui said, “The pandemic ushered in a new normal, where technology is at the forefront of almost everything we do. BingoPlus will continue to bring entertainment and provide value to the Philippine audience. We aim to be recognized as one of the most reputable brands in the country through our collaborations and partnerships with different organizations.”

 

“Our goal is to be the best one-stop online entertainment platform in the country,” added Jasper Vicencio, president of ABLE, the country’s bingo gaming pioneer and first licensed OTB operator of BingoPlus. “BingoPlus will provide a wide variety of online games besides traditional bingo: slot machines, card games, and many more to come. 2022 is going to be a thrilling and busy year with an amazing jackpot pool.”

 

To play Online Traditional Bingo, no special equipment is needed besides a smartphone and internet access. There is no membership fee, the game can be accessed from anywhere in the Philippines, but players have to be at least 21 years old to play, Vicencio added.

Finding cheaper electricity supply in Australia

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

Australia is known for its expensive electricity rate history compared to other parts of the world. The rise in energy prices is due to some factors. The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) shows through research that the energy prices in Australia have been affected due to two main factors.

The first factor is a lack of investment in things (this could be infrastructure), and the second is the increase in the prices of gas because of higher demand for gas in export markets. An additional factor is a regulation imposed by the government that is not in support of the competition. Nonetheless, a lot of state governments in the last decade have been deregulating the energy industry, allowing discounts on electricity and creating competition.

To know the cheaper electricity supply in Australia, it's crucial that a comparison should be made between different energy prices, rates, and tariffs. This is what several energy comparison sites, such as Econnex Comparison, do. So, how exactly can you find a cheaper electricity supply in Australia?

 

How do I Find the Cheapest Electricity Supplier in Australia?

Everyone should understand that technically there is no cheap electricity supplier, especially in Australia. How cheap the electricity deal is will depend on the levels of your consumption, the type of tariff you would prefer (variable or fixed), your type of meter (smart meter, prepayment, or standard), and if you would want your electricity to be renewable. 

Below are how you can find a suitable energy deal for you:

·       Visiting energy comparison sites, such as Econnex Comparison, will help you compare electricity prices from time to time to ensure you're on the best energy deal.

·       Ensure you get an annual statement or recent bill to compare energy prices, which should be tailored to your energy usage.

·       Do you use both electricity and gas in your home? Then ensure you compare the prices of the electricity with dual fuel deals. It's possible to discover that a dual fuel tariff is cheaper for you.

Notes

You may be on the standard variable tariff of your supplier (typically the most expensive plan) if you have not switched in a while. You can find the cheapest electricity tariffs when switching to a fixed deal.

In addition, switching away from your supplier to have a better deal may not be necessary. All you may need to do is to run a comparison to get the cheapest electricity tariff on offer from your energy provider (energy comparison sites, such as Econnex will be an ideal route)

 

Does Cheap Electricity Mean Poor Customer Service?

The simple answer is no. When you switch to a cheaper electricity tariff, it doesn't necessarily imply that the customer service you get will be compromised.

There are energy comparison sites that can help you compare electricity prices and show you the customer satisfaction rating of every available supplier in Australia.

With these rating that is based on actual customer reviews, you can freely choose the top electricity in accordance with customer service and price.

In addition, you can go through energy awards in Australia to know if it's appropriate to switch to a provider with a cheaper electricity tariff for you or  a provider with great customer reviews ( sometimes they mean the same thing)

 

Wrapping Up

Some people switch to a new energy provider to get a cheaper electricity supply, while others intend to get great customer service or sign up for a green energy plan.

Since the power to choose your own energy supplier is in your hands, you may want to try all your best to find a cheaper electricity supply in Australia. The provided details in this article should help you find the cheaper electricity supplier in Australia.

The Department of Education (DepEd) would like to clarify to the public its relationship with the Parent Teachers Association (PTA) as a school-based organization in ensuring the delivery of education-related services to all of our stakeholders.

 

As clearly stated in DepEd Order No. 54 series of 2009, “...As an organization operating in the school, the PTA shall adhere to all existing policies and implementing guidelines issued or hereinafter may be issued by the Department of Education. The PTA shall serve as a support group and as a significant partner of the school whose relationship shall be defined by cooperative and open dialogue with stakeholders to promote the welfare of the students.”

 

DepEd Order No. 54, series of 2009 also states that “all PTA activities within the school premises or which involve the school, its personnel or students shall be with prior consultation and approval of the School Head”.

The said order further stipulates certain prohibited activities for the PTA, including “engagement in any partisan political activity within school premises”.

 

We continue to recognize and value the partnership of the community, our parents, our teachers, and our school administration in ensuring the delivery of quality basic education for all of our learners.
