Many people have noticed they can now buy 500 and 1000 peso loads for Globe and Smart on Aryty.com. These loads not only save you time from having to load more often but they also have 60 day expiration time.
If you have a roaming phone from the Philippines, use an OFW Globe SIM card or need to reload your Smart OFW SIM the 500 peso and 1000peso load keep your sim loaded so you don’t have to worry about the sim being deactivated from load running out. All Globe loads you buy on Aryty.com use the Globe AutoLoadMax system so you’re loaded right away. Smart is eload as well so no need to wait for your load. Why hassle buying reload cards when you can buy load using Aryty.com!
Remember all loads work for Touch Mobile and Addict Mobile. Think how happy your loved ones will be with 500 or 1000 peso load!
Last Saturday, Karla Maquiling of Pinoy Centric assisted in arranging a lunch for us at the Shangri-La Hotel to present Aryty to a number of pro bloggers in Manila. It turned out to be nothing less than the perfect venue to exchange ideas and share more about Aryty with top Filipino bloggers “in the know” about the latest trends, technology and cultural issues taking place in the Philippines.
The influential blogging crew (a.k.a. BoB) included Jayvee Fernandez, Sasha Manuel, Gail dela Cruz Villanueva, Annalyn Jusay, Markku Seguerra, Ederic Eder, Mike Villar, Aileen Apolo and J. Angelo Racoma. I was also happy to see my friend Veronica Bartolome who just happened to be in Manila and made time to join us.
While it was nice to demonstrate how easy it is to buy Globe, Smart or Sun eload and discuss some of our future plans for Aryty the part I enjoyed the most was getting feedback and suggestions from the group. What a great opportunity to avail insight from some of the brightest in blogsphere! Conversation included subjects parang G-Cash, Smart Money, online loading, sari sari’s, OFW’s, remittances, new Aryty features and plenty about Globe, Smart and Sun loading habits.

No Name Cafe Next Time?

I am on the way to the Philippines and have stopped over in Tokyo for a few days of rest and Nike Love. One of the first things I was reminded of upon arrival in Japan is the global reach of OFW’s.
It is estimated that over 200,000 Filipina OFW’s work in Japan as entertainers sending home more that a half billion dollars to their families in the Philippines. As the economy in Japan continues to improve there will probably be an increasing demand for even more labor from the Philippines. Not just entertainers but caregivers as well due to the aging population in Japan.
With so many Filipina’s sending money back from Japan I am sure they would love an easy way to buy load or send load to family in the Philippines. Maybe it’s time for Aryty accept Yen!
There was a great article 2 weeks ago in the New York Times all about the lives of Overseas Filipino Workers also known as OFW’s. The story called A Good Provider is One Who Leaves discussed the benefits and challenges faced by over 3 million Filipino workers that live abroad to send support back home to their loved one’s.
The Philippines is the 4th largest remittance market in the world making up about 14% of the country’s GDP! This story did a good job at presenting the mixed blessing of remittances while giving an interesting look into the lives of the OFW’s that send them.
There’s lot of talk lately about mobile banking and remittance services. The Philippines is one of the countries leading innovation in this area. Globe Telecom’s G-Cash and Smart’s Smart Padala are two great examples.
Millions of OFW’s around the world send money and load back home. These new mobile remittance services promise to make it cheaper and easier than ever for Filipino’s to help their loved one’s all at the speed of text. Take a look at this video about Globe’s award winning G-Cash and microfinance.
A strong peso is nice for Filipino’s who send their kids to school overseas or want to take a vacation in the states but it’s not great for those who want to send money to the Philippines or buy Philippine goods because you get fewer pesos for the dollar.
WOW! Tingnan mo ito!
We always try to keep the cost of sending load to the Philippines as low as possible for Aryty customers. Unfortunately we cannot control currency fluctuation. When the Peso goes up the price of load will increase and when the Peso goes down load prices will decline as well. And rest assured, while the dollar might be worth a little less for the time being, the gift of load is not!
There is a new site called Sparter which is an online exchange for virtual currencies and digital goods. Coincidentally Ebayrecently banned the sale of those very same items. Sparter will now fill that void.
Virtual worlds and economies are growing in popularity and the purchase of their currencies be it acorns or other is becoming big business. The cool thing about trading digital goods is the cross border earning potential to buy and sell items. In virtual economies the world is truly flat. The Gold Farmers in China are a great example. Job opportunities become local allowing people to stay with their families instead of having to head overseas to find work like todaysOFW’s. The future Pilipino bayanis might be W.O.W. players.
Sparter will drive efficiency of prices and allow sellers direct access to buyers reducing the need for brokers. This means more money in the pockets of the people who earned it! We like that so here’s a pound for the Sparter team and best of luck for success! I hope they become huge.
This weekend kicks off Chinese New Year and undoubtedly many Pilipino’s around the world will be celebrating. Chinese are one of the largest ethnic groups in the Philippines. Additionally millions of OFW’s work abroad in Chinese countries parang Hong Kong and Taiwan. Wherever you may be, we wish you all the best this upcoming Year of the Pig.Suwertihin ka sana!
