BPI makes corporate collections easier with mobile check deposit capability

“Express Check Deposit has enhanced our operational efficiency and strengthened our cash flow management. With faster deposit of our collections, we are able to minimize borrowing costs, better manage liquidity, and optimize investment opportunities that generate additional income for the company.” ~Charmaine Ong, Senior Vice President of Corporate Purchasing and Treasury of CDO Foodsphere, Inc.

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) keeps improving its digital cash management capabilities with the Express Check Deposit feature on BPI BizLink. Through a secure and efficient digital process, this technology enables business clients to deposit checks more successfully. 

BPI BizLink is a corporate banking interface that allows businesses, SMEs, and corporations to handle cash flow, payments, and collections on a single platform. Part of BPI's rapidly growing digital banking ecosystem, the app continues to grow. Corporate client enrollment rose by 23% in 2025 compared to the year before.

As part of BPI's larger digitalization initiative, the Express Check Deposit function on BPI BizLink enables businesses to switch from manual, antiquated deposit procedures to a more streamlined digital workflow. BPI makes it easier for businesses to handle collections by eliminating the need for manual processing and in-person bank visits.

This function is an extension of the company's Mobile Check Deposit service, which allows authorized agents to deposit checks using a mobile device. Transactions are transmitted securely over BPI BizLink. This makes it possible for companies to deposit checks on their behalf through the agents of their choice using the BizLink app. Authorized agents will be given Maker or Multi-role access to the BizLink program in order to complete the task.

Once access has been activated, authorized agents can download the new BPI BizLink app and use the Express Check Deposit feature through the following easy steps:

1. Log in to BPI BizLink account. 
2. Go to Menu > Collections and tap Check Deposit. 
3. Read the instructions carefully and tap Start Deposit. 
4. Take a clear photo of the front and back of the check. 
5. Enter additional check details. 
6. Choose the account where the check will be deposited to then Submit for processing.

As an added security measure, authorized agents are restricted from viewing account balances or accessing any other BizLink features.

Additionally, this shift from manual to digital processing enables companies to use resources more effectively. Treasury personnel may concentrate more on assisting business operations by cutting down on the time and effort needed to prepare and physically deposit checks.

Businesses with extensive operations, where effective collection administration is crucial, may find this extremely helpful. As part of its efforts to enhance treasury operations for supplier payments and nationwide distribution, CDO Foodsphere, Inc. (CDO), one of the leading food manufacturers in the nation, has introduced the Express Check Deposit feature. CDO currently has production plants in Valenzuela City and Malvar, Batangas, and distributes its goods across the country.

CDO Foodsphere, Inc. is known for brands such as CDO Karne Norte, Funtastyk Young Pork Tocino, San Marino Corned Tuna, Idol Cheesedog, CDO Premium Holiday Ham, and Danes Cheese.

The platform’s real-time deposit confirmation, secure digital transmission, faster crediting timelines, and user-friendly interface also support improved monitoring and reconciliation of collections.

“The system’s reliability and detailed reporting capabilities support stronger audit tracking and governance. It allows our team to focus more on strategic financial initiatives rather than routine administrative tasks.” ~Judith Pascual, Vice President of Treasury and Corporate Governance of CDO Foodsphere, Inc.

For BPI, initiatives such as mobile check deposit reflect the Bank’s continued efforts to work closely with corporate clients as their operational needs evolve.

“BPI continues to look for ways to make banking processes simpler and more efficient for our corporate clients. As more companies adopt digital capabilities, we are also working to onboard other clients who can benefit from these solutions. Our relationship managers work closely with clients throughout the process to help ensure these are integrated smoothly into their operations.” ~Louie Cruz, Institutional Banking Head of BPI

TECNO Unveils Shot On CAMON Contest 2026 Jointly with Lonely Planet in Philippines

“Great photos are not just about equipment – they are about how deeply the photographer can immerse themselves in a destination. TECNO’s technology makes that immersion easier, helping users stay present, observe more closely and capture meaningful moments as they happen. We are excited to partner on Shot On CAMON Contest 2026 and look forward to seeing how photographers around the world bring their journeys to life.” ~Melissa Killian, Vice President of Integrated Marketing at Lonely Planet

Calling on TECNO CAMON users nationwide to capture real life moments under the theme "Seeing is Believing" — with global travel awards and filipino special  prizes up for grabs.

The third edition of TECNO's annual worldwide photography competition, the Shot On CAMON Contest 2026, will be co-hosted by Lonely Planet, a globally recognized leader in travel advice, and TECNO, an AI-driven revolutionary technology business. In order to recognize the people, places, and stories that go into each image, the alliance, which has its roots in a shared spirit of inquiry and expression, pushes the competition beyond technology. Through expert co-judging, co-branded content, and photo-essay-style writing, TECNO and Lonely Planet hope to inspire people everywhere to see more, feel more, and communicate richer visual experiences. Three Lonely Planet photographers will submit original photos taken with the CAMON 50 Series, and one Lonely Planet photographer will serve on the final-round jury panel with TECNO's imaging team.

With the theme "Seeing is Believing," this year's competition will take place from May 15 to October 11, 2026. Smartphone photographers from all over the world are invited to utilize the TECNO CAMON 50 Series to capture authentic, breathtaking, and one-of-a-kind events. The theme for a year increasingly influenced by artificial intelligence is TECNO's call to appreciate the authenticity of real life through photography, highlighting a range of skin tones, fleeting emotions, and real-world observations. The contest's AI category even starts with a real photograph to urge people to start with authentic observation and self-expression.

TECNO Philippines Welcomes Kelvinmarkulit as CAMON Photography Ambassador

In an attempt to further fuel local enthusiasm for authentic mobile photography, TECNO Philippines has designated Kelvinmarkulit, a well-known Filipino visual storyteller known for his honest depictions of everyday Filipino life, as the official CAMON Photography Ambassador for the Philippine leg of the competition. Co-creating a call-out video to entice Filipino producers to compete, serving as a regional judge to select the top entries from throughout the country, and taking part in the exclusive winner's journey are just a few of Kelvin's many duties. His partnership with TECNO is more than just a celebrity endorsement; it conveys to Filipino photography enthusiasts that real, sincere local narratives can compete globally. Kelvin's journey from documenting candid street interactions to being internationally famous inspires a new generation to trust that anyone can transform the ordinary into the unforgettable with observation, emotion, and the right tool.

Five Creative Categories That Celebrate New Ways of Seeing

The five categories of Shot On CAMON Contest 2026 are designed to inspire different ways of seeing, encouraging participants to capture real moments, emotions and perspectives from everyday life and travel.

• Faces·Unfiltered – This category celebrates authentic portraits that reflect people as they really are, capturing diverse skin tones and individuality in a quiet close-up, a candid street portrait, or a moment shared between friends.
• Night·Unveiled – This category invites participants to capture the atmosphere, mystery and emotion that emerge after dark, from neon-lit streets and reflections after rain to still moonlit scenes and late-night city life. 
• Culture·Unscripted – This category focuses on capturing the rhythm of a place as it naturally unfolds, whether through festivals, crafts, food moments or unplanned interactions between people.
• Snapshot·Unspotted (Telephoto Special) – Participants are invited to capture distant details that reveal something surprising, intimate or easily overlooked, from textures on far-off peaks to a fleeting expression within a crowd.
• AI·Unimagined (AI Gallery Special) – First capture a real-world photo with a TECNO phone, then transform it into an artistic style using TECNO’s AI Gallery. Both the original photograph and the AI-styled image must be submitted together. This category is designed to explore how AI can extend creative expression while keeping real-world photography as the starting point. 

 

“‘Seeing is Believing’ is both a creative brief for our contestants and a reminder that the most powerful images begin with real life. Through Shot On CAMON Contest 2026, we hope to inspire users around the world to observe more closely, express themselves more freely and celebrate the beauty of authentic moments through photography.” ~Jack Guo, General Manager of TECNO

Tanduay’s International Spirit Competition Wins Highlight Consistent Excellence Across Rum Portfolio

“These awards demonstrate that Tanduay’s production standards are consistent across our different rum profiles and our strict quality control. We thank the judges for recognizing our discipline in producing rums that live up to international standards, and we raise a toast to excellence in Philippine rum-making. As Tanduay continue to grow our presence internationally, we remain focused on upholding the quality standards that have defined our brand for generations. This guides us on how we craft our rums and ensures we deliver the same quality to consumers wherever they are in the world.” ~Roy Kristoffer Sumang, Tanduay International Business Development Manager

Tanduay constantly exhibits a commitment to excellence and quality in all of its products, according to stringent international standards. In the most recent International Spirits Competition, five premium rums from Enthusiast Report Magazine took the top medals.

Gold prizes were presented to Tanduay Reserve Rum 10 Years, Tanduay Asian Rum Gold, and Tanduay Reserve Rum Overproof; Tanduay Double Rum received a Double Gold. Tanduay Asian Rum Silver received a silver medal.

Enthusiast Report's International Spirits Competition, which selects winners in several categories each quarter, brings together enthusiasts with a combined 100 years of tasting expertise. The luxury and lifestyle magazine regularly features the leading brands in wines and spirits, travel and leisure, fashion, cars, events, entertainment, and cigars. For over 15 years, the original squad has participated in publications, spirit contests, and events.

What Makes Up Tanduay’s Award-Winning Rums

Tanduay Double Rum routinely wins international spirits competitions. Tanduay's expertise in blending and maturing is evident in this premium rum, which is made from a blend of rums aged 16 and 5 years and aged in ex-bourbon barrels for an additional two years. This process makes this award-winning product a fantastic drinking rum.

It smells of toasted almonds, cooked pineapple, and tropical dried fruits. Its color is dark amber. It is an excellent aged rum with flavors like caramelized pineapple and a delicate blend of cherry and vanilla. It has a refined, medium-long, woody, raisin, and tropical zest aftertaste and a medium-sized, round, fruity body.

Another example of the brand's longevity is the gold medal-winning Tanduay Reserve Rum 10 Years. Old Bourbon barrels are used to mature this rum for a minimum of ten years. Its rich scents of toasted oak, vanilla, butterscotch, caramel, and tropical dried fruits make it an excellent option for drinking straight or as a base in cocktails. It smells of caramel, vanilla, and dried fruits in harmony with the aromas of toasted oak.  It has a medium-to-full weight, a rich, creamy texture, and a smooth, slightly woodsy finish with lingering aromas of dark chocolate and raisin.

Tanduay Asian Rum Gold is another award-winning premium rum in the brand's excellent portfolio.  This rich and sophisticated rum, which has been aged in ex-bourbon barrels for up to seven years, can be drunk plain or blended. It has a lovely mix of sweetness and alcohol, a vivid golden amber color, and expressive scents of vanilla, tropical fruits, coconut, and nutmeg. Its aroma is sophisticated and refined, and its body is dry, smooth, and mellow. On the nose, you can smell mature honey, almond, caramel, toasted oak, orange peels, and vanilla.

Pot and column still black rums are meticulously mixed to create Tanduay Reserve Rum Overproof. With notes of caramel, cherry, vanilla, banana, pineapple, and pear, it smells light and fresh. It has a medium-intensity flavor that combines caramel and burnt sugar with notes of wood, vanilla, sherry, banana, and pear. It also has a smooth, comforting mouthfeel and an off-dry sweetness. It has a very intricate, medium-length finish.

Another award-winning product is Tanduay Asian Rum Silver, which is a blend of rum that has been aged in ex-bourbon barrels for up to five years. It's perfect for enjoying neat and well-balanced for blending. It has a soft straw yellow hue and is translucent and clear. With hints of toasted, coconut, and vanilla, the scent has a powerful citrus and grapefruit peel. It tastes like a well-balanced combination of cream soda and citrus fruit flavors. It has a crisp, fruity, satiny, light to medium body with a dry, sweet, and warm finish.

Built on Generations of Craftsmanship

Tanduay has consistently gained international reputation since its founding in 1854. It is a proudly Filipino-made brand that showcases the exceptional workmanship of Filipinos worldwide.

Introducing P-Pop Group Oona with Jaylou, Kari, Bella, Coleen, and Isaki

“In a scene ready for reinvention, oona. arrives—moving as one, defining a new era of P-pop.“

Let me introduce you to Jaylou, Kari, Bella, Coleen, and Isaki. Because each member has a unique story, style, and strength, the group is a dynamic blend of personality and experience.

The name "oona" means "Be One," and the double "oo" stands for their opposing voices, personalities, and styles—like yin and yang—that coexist peacefully despite their differences. Five stories, one flow.

Oona. is committed to excellence in on-stage performances as well as a blend of skill, genuineness, self-control, and development with the aim of motivating others via music influenced by their personal experiences.

This idea is introduced in their debut song, "DARAMA," which is currently available on all major music platforms.

“DARAMA” was composed and written by oona. themselves, born from the feeling of kilig—that flutter you get when something you’ve long hoped for finally becomes real. What started as a simple emotion grew into something deeper: a song about finding the right people, holding on through challenges, and turning dreams into reality. Inspired by their journey together, “DARAMA” captures that surreal moment when everything just feels natural and right.

This song is their first baby—and it carries the same feeling they all share: kilig, nadarama.
