Philippines – GCash, the country’s leading finance super app, has signed an agreement with the National Privacy Commission (NPC) to enhance data privacy awareness and provide data privacy-related educational resources across the Philippines in support of the Commission’s mandates. In line with its mission to provide secure and accessible financial solutions, GCash aims to inform and educate its users on data privacy by utilizing the app’s features to effectively reach more Filipinos.

 

According to Ren-Ren Reyes, president and CEO of G-Xchange, Inc., “This MOA with NPC underscores our commitment to upholding the highest standards of data privacy and security, strengthening the trust and confidence of our users.”

“We look forward to implementing robust measures in increasing awareness on data privacy by providing the tools and knowledge that Filipinos need to make informed decisions in safeguarding their personal information. Through public-private collaborations, we aim to foster a secure digital environment for all,” said NPC commissioner Atty. John Henry Naga during the signing of the memorandum of agreement (MOA).

 

The MOA aims to elevate data privacy education and promote compliance with the Data Privacy Act (DPA). As part of the agreement, GCash will incorporate NPC-provided privacy awareness and educational materials into the app's Privacy Choices feature, allowing its users to learn about the DPA.

 

To further support the mandates of the NPC, the NPC’s Registration Portal (https://privacy.gov.ph/pips-and-pics/register/) will be integrated and linked to the GCash app. This will be a game-changing compliance feature, enabling seamless registration for entities processing personal data.

 

The agreement between the NPC and GCash reinforces GCash’s vision of creating a secure digital landscape and promoting financial inclusion. By equipping users with privacy tools and educational resources, the collaboration aims to empower individuals to navigate the digital economy securely and confidently.

 

Beyond its collaboration with the NPC, GCash is also working with key government agencies such as the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG), the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), and the Department of Information and Communications Technology’s Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (DICT-CICC) to fight online fraud and scams.

 

These collaborations further strengthen GCash's commitment to creating a secure digital landscape for its users.

YOUR NEXT TV UPGRADE? SONY’S STUNNING NEW DISPLAY WITH RGB LED MAGIC

 


Wider color gamut and higher brightness enables richer color reproduction and subtle shading across its entire brightness range

Philippines - Sony announced today it has developed a new display system incorporating an independent drive RGB LED with a high-density LED backlight that can individually control three primary colours – R (red), G (green), and B (blue) [RGB], and suitable for large screens. This panel allows each RGB colour to emit light independently, resulting in high colour purity and the ability to reproduce images with a vibrant, wide colour gamut.
 Additionally, the display system is equipped with Sony's proprietary advanced backlight control technology, designed to maximize the panel's characteristics. This backlight control technology enables faithful reproduction of delicate hues and subtle gradations of light across every corner of the display, even on large screens. In cinematic works such as films, the ability to convey narrative expression relies significantly on the subtleties of color and black representation, as well as the gradation of light. This system enhances these elements to provide image quality that faithfully reflects the creator's intent and is suitable for both film production and home viewing as well. 

Sony has supported creators' activities for years through professional monitors used for color grading in video production and BRAVIA utilized as reference monitors. The display system has been developed leveraging unique experience and technical expertise gained from this. This system is to begin mass production in 2025, aiming to expand its integration into consumer televisions and displays for content creation.
