Markets go digital: More LGUs join Paleng-QR Ph Plus
Manila Bulletin
|July 03 2025
A trip to the market used to involve cash. How much cash to bring. How much change you would receive—Barya barya ba? Maraming coins? Marumi? Basa?
-
But these days, more markets are going digital, which is great for shoppers and for vendors too. They are not just going digital—paying e-wallet to e-wallet—but going QR Ph, with even more benefits. For example, without QR codes, you could type a wrong account number to pay. With QR codes, the account number is automatic.
For market regulars like Cheeryline Gay from Victorias City, Negros Occidental, QR payments make everyday transactions safer and simpler.
“Mas convenient siya dahil hindi ko na kailangang magdala ng pera. Mas safe din siya gamitin dahil hindi ko na kailangang i-type yung account number ng tindera dahil ii-scan ko na lang yung code. Eksaktong bayad din ang matatanggap nila,” she shared.
