The Void is not synonymous with stagnation; rather, it's a fertile ground for exploration and discovery. By understanding and embracing the Void, creatives can liberate themselves from the constraints of expectation and perfectionism. This liberation becomes a catalyst for fresh ideas, enabling a departure from the ordinary and a journey into uncharted territories of innovation.
Navigating the Void requires a willingness to confront uncertainty and silence the noise of external influences. It's a practice in mindfulness and self-discovery—a journey into the depths of one's own thoughts and emotions. In this solitude, creatives often find the raw materials for groundbreaking concepts, discovering connections and patterns that were previously obscured.
The process of engaging with the Void is not about avoiding challenges but transforming them into opportunities. It encourages a shift in perspective, viewing obstacles not as roadblocks but as stepping stones to innovation. By understanding 'the Void' as a realm of potential, creatives unlock the door to their most authentic and impactful work, revealing the beauty that emerges when the creative spirit is allowed to roam freely. In essence, the Void becomes not an abyss to be feared, but a sanctuary where creativity thrives, and our most brilliant ideas come to life.
The two financial behemoths are collaborating to reach the highest number of Filipinos who cannot access fair lending terms due to traditional financial credit scoring methods.
RCBC will introduce Pasado Loans, a 24/7 loan product that requires zero collateral. It will also use the digital Pasado Loan Engine to measure the creditworthiness and profiles of potential applicants. In addition to the portal, Filipinos can also apply through partner merchants or digital channels found in digital marketing engagements.
GCash will enable people to apply for Pasado Loans through the GCash app, making the application more seamless and highly convenient for Filipinos who are always on the go yet face hurdles in applying for formal loans and credit in banks and other financial institutions. Prospective loan applicants may borrow from Php 30,000 to Php 500,000. They must submit their credentials through the Pasado Loan portal or partner merchants to apply for a loan. The Pasado Decision Engine will evaluate these applications, delivering results within seconds. The applicant will receive the disbursed amount through their RCBC Diskartech account upon approval. Loan payments can also be facilitated through an auto-debit arrangement in RCBC Diskartech.
As it continues to be the undisputed leading finance app in the country, GCash champions financial inclusion by offering an unparalleled suite of services, including payments, savings, and loans. With its user-centric approach and commitment to enhancing financial well-being, GCash is helping pave the way for greater financial empowerment for every Filipino wherever they are.
“GCash is committed to transforming the financial landscape in the Philippines. By partnering with RCBC, we’re not just making loans accessible; we’re opening doors to opportunities for countless Filipinos. Together, we’re shaping a more inclusive future for all,”
said Tony Isidro, CEO of Fuse Lending, the official lending arm of GCash.
RCBC Executive Vice President and Chief Innovations and Inclusion Officer Lito Villanueva lauded the partnership as a great example of how collaborations can empower more Filipinos. He added that Pasado Loan is set to change lives positively and open many doors to Filipinos.
“Our partnership with GCash is a great example of bayanihan in the fintech sector. By fusing our powers, we reach a larger group of Filipinos and serve them by helping them reach their goals and materialize their aspirations,”
Villanueva said.
“Pasado Loans is set to transform lives. Our partnership with GCash will accelerate that positive change by opening financial options to more Filipinos.”
