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.
State-run Rizal Medical Center (RMC) in Pasig City has partnered with the country’s leading finance app and cashless ecosystem, GCash, to roll out digital payments for hospital bills, aiming to enhance service efficiency and improve the patient experience, making it a first-of-its-kind for any hospital in the Philippines.
Through the integration of the Scan-to-Pay feature of GCash, RMC patients and their families may now settle fees via mobile phones, reducing reliance on physical cash, cutting waiting time at cashier counters, and promoting safer, contactless transactions. Additionally, eligible users can access GCredit, the built-in credit line of GCash, which provides a flexible payment option during medical emergencies, eliminating the need for traditional promissory notes. Credit eligibility is based on a user’s GScore, a proprietary trust rating generated through app activity.
“This is part of our broader effort to enhance public health service delivery through technology,”
said RMC Medical Center Chief Dr. Maria Rica Lumague.
“We recognize that waiting in line just to pay can be burdensome, especially for patients in distress or discomfort. Digital payments allow us to eliminate that bottleneck.”
RMC, one of the Department of Health’s leading tertiary hospitals in Metro Manila, said the partnership aligns with national objectives to digitalize government services and improve healthcare accessibility.
“GCash remains committed to financial inclusion across sectors, including healthcare,”
said GCash VP and Head for Public Sector Cleo Celeste Santos.
“We see this collaboration with Rizal Medical Center as a crucial step in bringing reliable services to those who need them most, especially during medical emergencies.”
The hospital anticipates improvements in operational efficiency, faster transaction processing, and greater user satisfaction through digital adoption. The initiative also supports the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ goal of increasing the share of digital payments to 50% by 2026.
GCash, with millions of registered users, has steadily expanded its presence across key public sector institutions, in line with its vision of building a more financially inclusive Philippines.
