La Union LGU and GCash team up to enable cashless payments for eco-tourism fees in San Juan, La Union

As part of its ongoing push for sustainable tourism and environmental protection, the Municipality of San Juan, La Union, has partnered with GCash, the country’s leading finance app, to launch a cashless system for collecting eco-tourism fees. This convenient and simpler payment option will help ensure cleaner beaches, improved waste management, and stronger support for the town’s growing tourist economy.

Tourists can now pay the PHP 50.00 environmental fees in San Juan, La Union via GCash

San Juan, known for its surf culture and scenic beaches, faces challenges in collecting environmental fees due to its open layout and multiple beach access points. This has often led to missed payments and limited funds for keeping the town clean and well-maintained.

Using GCash’s Scan-to-Pay (STP) feature, tourists can conveniently pay the ₱50 environmental fee by scanning QR codes available in over 200 local establishments, such as hotels, cafés, and resorts, as well as in six designated Environmental Fee Hubs across the town.

Soon, QR codes will also be placed directly at key tourist spots and entry points to encourage on-the-spot payments and improve accessibility. This seamless, cashless system is designed to integrate smoothly into the visitor experience.

“This partnership reflects our shared goal of keeping San Juan clean and sustainable,” said Mayor Arturo Valdriz. “It gives both locals and tourists a simple way to help protect our environment,” San Juan Mayor Arturo Valdriz said.

The digital system makes payments more convenient for visitors. It helps the local government track collections in real time, improving transparency and ensuring the funds go directly to environmental programs like waste management and beach cleanups. With the partnership now in place and early results positive, the municipality plans to expand the program to more locations, further supporting the town's environmental efforts.

“With GCash, every eco-fee helps preserve the beauty of San Juan’s beaches and landscapes for future generations,” San Juan Tourism head Ezikiel Lanuzo said.

By streamlining digital payment solutions, GCash, together with its partners in local government, champions communities and promotes sustainability — one scan at a time. Building on the success of this initiative, the Public Sector team of GCash is looking to scale the program by partnering with more local government units across the country, supporting their efforts to adopt easy, convenient, safe, and secure e-payment solutions.

Globe GFiber Prepaid load now available at your suking tindahan

Good news for Filipino households, GFiber Prepaid load is now available at neighborhood sari-sari stores, making high-speed and dependable prepaid fiber internet more accessible than ever to families across the country.

Loading at your suking tindahan not only levels up convenience but also gives customers wider choices on where and how to load—whether digitally or on-ground—by tapping into a trusted and readily available retail network.

GFiber Prepaid draws inspiration from the tried-and-tested infrastructure and commercial models behind Globe’s mobile prepaid success. Before this expansion, GFiber Prepaid could only be reloaded via digital wallets on the GlobeOne App, including GCash, ShopeePay, and GrabPay, or through direct GCash payments. 

“Since many of our mobile users are already familiar with using this channel to buy load, we wanted to provide that same level of convenience for GFiber Prepaid, making the experience as seamless and familiar as possible,” said Abigail Cardino, VP for Brand Management at Globe Broadband. “This move marks a significant step in our commitment to make GFiber Prepaid even more accessible to every Filipino. By leveraging the extensive network of sari-sari stores, we’re meeting our customers where they are, providing a convenient and familiar way for them to stay connected with fast and reliable internet.”

The addition of sari-sari stores gives customers more flexibility, offering both digital and face-to-face options that suit their everyday routines. It particularly answers the need of those who prefer in-person transactions or do not use e-wallets, especially in provinces and rural areas where over-the-counter loading continues to be the norm.

“We understand the vital role sari-sari stores play in our communities. Integrating GFiber Prepaid loading into this platform allows us to tap into this widespread network, effectively reaching the mass market who prefer and are accustomed to transacting in their local neighborhood stores. This is about bringing the power of GFiber to every Filipino,” said Cardino. 

The customers are not the only ones who benefit from the expansion.  Sari-sari store owners can also boost their earnings as official GFiber Prepaid reloading stations while helping drive digital inclusion.

“Beyond just providing internet access, this initiative empowers local sari-sari store owners by offering them an additional revenue stream. By becoming GFiber Prepaid loading stations, they become key enablers in bridging the digital divide within their communities,” she pointed out.

GFiber Prepaid provides load options that suit different needs: 

• Php199: up to 50 Mbps for 7 days  

• Php399: up to 50 Mbps for 15 days or up to 100 Mbps for 7 days  

• Php699: up to 50 Mbps for 30 days  

Get the speed, value, and flexibility you deserve with no lock-in period—todo max ang sulit talaga sa GFiber Prepaid! Drop by at your nearest suking tindahan now.
