PayMaya has raised more than PHP 7.8 million in donations through its digital payment channels a week after launching the #OneAgainstCOVID19 initiative.
PayMaya, along with other companies and non-profit organizations such as the Philippine Red Cross, UNICEF, Caritas Manila, OXFAM Pilipinas, and the UP PGH Foundation to name a few, have worked together to reach the amount.
With the enhanced quarantine, those who want to help in the fight against the virus can do so with the PayMaya app. Even those overseas can donate and contribute to the #OneAgainstCOVID19 efforts through the their end-to-end platforms.
“The response we have gotten just a week after launch has been tremendous, which only highlights not just the magnanimity but also the creativity of Filipinos in responding to this crisis, aided by technology. We will continue to support consumers, businesses, communities, government agencies, and humanitarian organizations in this united effort during this pandemic by providing the most convenient and inclusive means of sending monetary support,” said Orlando Vea, Founder and CEO of PayMaya.
