Gabay Guro, the flagship advocacy program for teachers of the PLDT-Smart Foundation, partners with PayMaya for its super app for teachers.
Teachers can soon easily sign up for a PayMaya account through the Gabay Guro app. They can then use it for various digital financial transactions. Transactions such as paying for online and in-store purchases, sending money, paying bills, buying load, and paying government fees, among others. This will also complement the existing features of the app such as provide them access to research materials, community-wide articles, rewards, as well as online lessons to help improve their teaching skills in the new normal.
“Providing teachers a PayMaya account within the Gabay Guro app will help enrich the resources available to them, especially as they adapt to our new normal which is increasingly digital. Combined with various learning and other resources available within the app, we are confident that this new platform can help improve their day-to-day teaching lives,”
said Gabay Guro Chairperson Chaye Cabal-Revilla.
On top of these features, the app will also offer other capabilities. The ability to receive badges that can be converted into MVP Rewards are examples of such capabilities. As well as availing of promos and training sessions from Gabay Guro partners and mentors, and access to livelihood programs. Soon, they can also receive cash assistance, incentives, and loans designed for educators and even get additional livelihood opportunities in the e-commerce space.
“Having a digital financial account will help complement the wealth of resources for teachers that will be available in the app. As we all transition to digital, it’s important that we empower our teachers with the right tools and resources so that they are able carry out their work well, for the sake of all Filipino youth everywhere”
said PayMaya Founder and CEO Orlando Vea.
Digital Financial Services for Education
Enabling teachers with digital financial accounts and capabilities is just one of the ways PayMaya has empowered the education sector. To date, it has enabled over 50 educational institutions all over the country with cashless payments acceptance. It allowed schools to conveniently accept tuition payments from parents at the comfort of their homes. This mode of payment also helps keep school personnel safe.

PayMaya has also rolled out cashless payment ecosystems starting with the PayMaya-powered student ID card. Students can easily link the PayMaya-powered student ID card to their PayMaya account. It can then be used for payment transactions even outside the campus at Bancnet-powered payment terminals and ATMs nationwide. The University of the Philippines-Diliman, LPU-Batangas, La Salle Green Hills, and STI, among many others, have already implemented these systems.
