Nagbabala sa publiko ang nangungunang finance super app na GCash, kaisa ng Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), ukol sa nagkalat na pekeng social media channels na nagpapanggap na GCash. Kaugnay sa mga fake social media page o group na ito ay mga followers na magkakalat ng mga phishing links na magiging sanhi ng account takeover o pagnanakaw sa kanilang mga account.
Kadalasang gambling o gaming ang mga fraudulent accounts na ito at may mga pangalang tulad ng “GCash88 Media”, “GCash Update”, at kung anu-ano pang mga mapanlinlang na pangalan.
“We always advise the public to avoid clicking any links from unknown or suspicious senders.” (“Lagi naming pinapayuhan ang publiko na iwasang mag-click sa anumang link mula sa hindi kilala o kahina-hinalang mga nagpadala ng mensahe online,”) pahayag ni CICC executive Director Alexander K. Ramos. “Scammers used to send such links through SMS, but now they have found another platform.” (“Dati ang mga scammer ay nagpapadala ng mga link sa pamamagitan ng SMS, ngunit ngayon ay nakahanap na sila ng ibang platform,”) dagdag niya.
Nagpahayag din ng patuloy na suporta si Ramos para sa kaligtasan ng digital ecosystem sa bansa. “Our combined resources with our fellow law enforcement agencies have already traced many suspects behind these social media pages and arrested them in law enforcement operations. Let this be a stern warning to other cybercriminals out there, you will be pursued, you will be found, and you will be apprehended.” (Ang aming pinasagsamang pwersa kasama ang iba pang law enforcement agencies ang naging daan para matukoy at matunton ang mga suspek sa likod ng mga social media pages na ito. Magsilbi sana itong babala sa mga nagkalat na cybercriminals, kayo ay matutukoy at mahahanap, at kayo ay mahuhuli ng mga awtoridad,”) aniya.
Samantala, muling nagpaalala si GCash Vice President and Head of Corporate Communications Gilda Maquilan na iisa lamang ang social media page ng e-wallet. “GCash’s official pages are @gcashofficial, which is where we come out with our promos, and @wearegcash, the official corporate page of GCash, nothing else.” We believe that social media platforms are still the best means to engage our users. However, we strongly warn our users that any other profile or username is fraudulent and should be avoided.”(“Ang mga official Facebook page ng GCash ay ang @gcashofficial, kung saan kami naglalabas ng mga promo at ang @wearegcash, na siyang official corporate page ng GCash, wala nang iba pa. Naniniwala pa rin ang GCash na ang social media ay mananatiling pinaka epektibong paraan para makipag ugnayan sa aming mga users. Binabalaan po namin ang mga users na iwasan ang mga naiibang social media profiles at usernames na nagpapanggap na GCash,”) pahayag ni Maquilan.
Upang higit pang maprotektahan ang mga user laban sa mga online scam, patuloy ding nakikipagtulungan ang GCash sa mga awtoridad kabilang ang National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Philippine National Police-Anti Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG). Bilang resulta, nasa mahigit apat na milyon mga fraudulent ang naipasara nito, habang nasa 810 phishing sites at 45,000 malisyosong mga post at account sa social media naman ang na-block ng awtoridad noong 2023 sa tulong ng GCash.
“We will continue to work closely with our partners from law enforcement agencies, including the PNP, NBI, CICC, and others, in tracking down scammers behind these deceptive online channels and ensuring they are pursued by the authorities.” (“Kami ay patuloy na makikipagtulungan sa aming mga partners mula sa gobyerno kabilang ang PNP, NBI, CICC, at iba pa, sa pagsubaybay sa mga scammers sa likod ng mga mapanlinlang na online channels at pagtiyak na sila ay matutugis ng mga awtoridad,”) dagdag ni Maquilan.
Muling nagpaalala ang GCash sa mga users na huwag kailanman ibahagi ang MPIN o OTP kaninuman at iwasang mag click sa mga hindi kilalang websites, emails, at messaging apps.
Para sa tulong, maaaring makipag-ugnayan sa PNP-ACG sa kanilang hotlines sa (02) 8414-1560 at sa 0998-598-8116, o sa email na acg@pnp.gov.ph.
Para isumbong ang mga scams at iba pang ilegal na gawain, maaaring ring bisitahin ng mga users ang official GCash Help Center sa help.gcash.com, o mag message kay Gigi, at i-type ang “I want to report a scam.” Pwede ring tumawag sa GCash hotline na 2882 para sa anumang katanungan at concerns.

Linggo Ng Musikang Pilipino (LMP) marks its highly anticipated celebration this year with a series of music events that aim to foster deeper awareness and appreciation for Pinoy music.
The week-long festivity, which takes place in various music venues and stages across Metro Manila from July 5 to 31, continues its commitment to promoting established and new homegrown music acts whose work has provided inspiration to the Filipino people or contributed to the advancement of the local economy and the arts.
“What makes LMP 2024 different from the previous celebrations is that it has a more ‘back-to-basics’ vibe and ‘keeping-it-simple’ feel,” Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM) Board member and Vice President for Special Projects Christian Bautista explains. “The focus and emphasis are really on listening to and appreciating different artists sharing their music and their stories in intimate settings. Our LMP this year is not really focused on the spectacle but rather more on highlighting the artist and the song.”
This year’s LMP chronicles a decade of celebrating Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino in accordance with Proclamation No. 933, signed by late President Benigno Aquino III on December 19, 2014.
Returning on its tenth year with the goal of reintroducing its mandate to highlight Filipino singer and to showcase the richness and diversity of Filipino music, Linggo Ng Musikang Pilipino aims to be more proactive in supporting Pinoy artists and ensuring that they are given a platform to present their work and their story to a global modern audience.
Johnoy Danao performing on LMP
The commemoration of LMP is slated to take place in several areas with multiple dates and will feature more than 30 artists from OPM’s roster and network of artists.
OPM Spotlight: LMP Night, which has championed some of the biggest and brightest local artists in recent years, will host performances and shows for the rest of the month at Kubo Bar in Kalayaan, Quezon City. Some of the headliners include Johnoy Danao, Sugarcane, jikamarie, Color It Red,, Mint Magic and many more from the OPM slate.
Other remote celebrations include OPM Spotlight: Rockwell LMP Series on July 24, 25, 26, and 28 at the Power Plant Mall in Makati City, and LMP24: PhilPop Night on July 31, 2024 at Kubo Bar. The latter puts a spotlight on select winners and participants from the prestigious annual songwriting competition, including Noah Alejandre, PhilPop 2020 Grand Champion; Davey Langit, PhilPop 2015 Top 3 Finalist and PhilPop 2013 Finalist; Kulas Basilonia, PhilPop 2020 Finalist; Hazel Faith, PhilPop North Luzon Boot Camp 2019 Fellow; and dwta, PhilPop 2021 DigiCamp Fellow. Ayala Land and Make It Makati will also be having a series of acoustic shows in partnership with OPM along with other activities related to the Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino celebration from July 21 to 28.
“Expect beautiful music and heartfelt performances from the artists,” Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM) President Ogie Alcasid shares. “We hope that through this humble series of shows that we’re doing, the Filipino audience will continue to love and support Filipino artists and Filipino music even after LMP.”
OPM Officer in Charge Gab Cabangon emphasizes that the goal of this year’s LMP has never changed. “It’s always been about the celebration and promotion of Filipino artists and Filipino music. That has always been our advocacy, to which we are fully committed as an organization. I guess what we could add to that is that this LMP celebration is also OPM’s way to reintroduce itself to the general public and grow its community.”
The Linggo Ng Musikang Pilipino was established under Proclamation No. 933, signed in 2014, with the initiative to celebrate Filipino music during the last week of July every year.
Here’s the schedule this year:
The Linggo ng Musikang Pilipino a.k.a. LMP24 is presented to you by the Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Mang-aawit in partnership with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Rockwell Land, PhilPop Musicfest Foundation, Inc., Ayala Land, Make It Makati, Ayala Malls, and Ayala Museum.

The young recording star teams up with acclaimed producer Brian Lotho on the stripped-down cover of an ‘80s classic
Filipino singer-songwriter syd hartha continues to captivate music listeners from various generations with the release of her new single “Panalangin,” a cover of Apo Hiking Society’s early ‘80s hit.
syd reinterprets the source material with a stripped-down arrangement and a delicate touch, adding her own stamp while retaining the essence of what makes the song a timeless classic.
Despite the fact that it is a cover, “Panalangin” is one of the most popular songs in Syd’s gig repertoire. “It personally reminds me of very special memories I want to cherish forever.”
The folk-pop recording artist adds, “I’ve always considered Panalangin to be one of the sweetest and most timeless OPM songs. The original version is very upbeat and pop, and I decided I wanted to add a feminine touch to it—something that sounds more mellow and softer, as if it came from a female perspective.”
syd’s version of “Panalangin” was arranged and produced by Brian Lotho of Sonic State Audio. They have professionally built a great foundation of trust and collaboration through the years, working together as constant collaborators for five years.
As for the tila tala act’s approach to remaking a song into her own, syd admits that her goal has always been to strike a balance between her singing and playing style, which is very acoustic guitar-led, while staying true to the original’s melodic qualities.
“Apo Hiking Society songs, specifically When I Met You and Panalangin have always been part of my ‘songs-I-wish-were-written-for-me’ playlist. When I was starting to learn the guitar, I listened to a lot of OPM, and those two songs really stuck with me. I always admired how they’re so beautifully written. It’s an honor to be able to officially cover a song like Panalangin.”
syd hartha’s “Panalangin” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
