The disease causes respiratory illness (like the flu) with symptoms such as a cough, fever, and in more severe cases, difficulty breathing. This virus triggered countries including the Philippines to do Enhanced Community Quarantines or lockdowns almost everywhere.
Because of the lockdown and the guidelines in place, we are encouraged to #StayAtHome and practice social distancing which prompted businesses to close down until the situation is better. A few of these establishments are remittance and pera padala centers which have been traditionally used by Filipinos to send money to their loved ones.
This is crucial to those who regularly use these services to provide for their families in faraway places and especially during this crisis. Everyone who knows me knows that I've been trying to live a Cashless life since I've started using GCash.
GCash started as a mobile money remittance solution back in 2004 and has since been updated to offer more services and are available now to everyone with a mobile phone regardless of the service provider(Smart/Globe/Sun/TM/etc).
