The #GCashStories digital series features modern day stories of progress, showing how Filipinos have improved their way of life with GCash.
Premiering with the story of Cocoy Rubio, GCash tugs on our heart strings showing how with perseverance, and grit, there is no hurdle we cannot overcome. The story of unemployment was no surprise during the pandemic, most Filipinos were forced to stay home and rely on technology to prevent unforeseen contact with Covid-19. Some got laid off from their regular jobs due to the pandemic restrictions, compelling people to look for alternatives to get by.
Cocoy’s GCash story shows us how he began his journey after being laid off as a bartender to pivoting to become an entrepreneur with his very own The Bike Coffee business in Cagayan De Oro. The film highlights how Cocoy was able to jump start his business with more confidence, using GCash in paying for his supplies and even applying for capital via GLoan.
