Toyota shares meals with frontliners
Toyota Motor Philippines Foundation (TMPF) provided 900 meal packs to frontliners of the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
The meal packs were distributed among drivers, security and support personnel as part of Toyota’s support for DOTr’s Free Ride Service program in Metro Manila which provides transport services for the country’s medical frontliners.
Earlier, Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. (TMP), in partnership with Toyota Mobility Foundation, made available ten shuttles to the Philippine General Hospital (PGH), which uses the ‘Just-in-Time’ booking app to set the pick-up time and at locations close to home for workers for enhanced security.
This was done in response to DOTR’s request to make mobility more accessible especially to health workers.
This is on top of the 49 TMP vehicle lend-outs in select hospitals, LGUs and other volunteer groups in Metro Manila and Laguna.

QC residents receive financial aid from local gov’t through PayMaya
Residents of Quezon City are now receiving financial assistance directly to their PayMaya accounts as part of the local government’s “Kalingang QC” social amelioration program which aims to help individuals and families in need to cope with the COVID-19 crisis.
Qualified citizen beneficiaries who registered through the QC E-Services portal were able to receive their P2,000 in financial aid straight to their PayMaya accounts in a safe and timely manner, in keeping with current health and safety measures to prevent the further spread of the virus causing the COVID-19 disease.
Beneficiaries under the Kalingang QC program include senior citizens; drivers of tricycles, pedicabs, jeepneys, taxis, AUVs, and TNVS; Persons with Disabilities (PWDs); solo parents; nursing mothers; owners of market stalls that were closed down; and street vendors, among others.
By using digital means to distribute the aid via PayMaya, the Quezon City government has made it safe and convenient for citizen beneficiaries to receive the funds at the comfort of their homes.
They can use the funds that they received to buy groceries online, purchase airtime load and data packages, send money to their relatives anywhere in the country, transfer to any of the more than 40 InstaPay bank partners or withdraw from any Bancnet ATM using a PayMaya physical card.
Cashing out the funds the beneficiaries have received in their PayMaya accounts is also more convenient as the beneficiaries can simply go to any one of the over 30,000 Smart Padala agents near them.
On top of Quezon City, PayMaya has been the platform of choice to disburse financial aid to citizen beneficiaries of Manila, Mandaluyong, Caloocan, and Pasig City, among others.
It has also partnered with the Social Security System (SSS) for its Small Business Wage Subsidy (SBWS) program as well as the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for disbursements under its Assistance to Individuals in Conflict Situations (AICS) program.
