Filipino Teachers Offered Alternative Income Source Through RCBC’s DiskarTech App

Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) has partnered with PLDT, a major telco player from the Philippines, to improve the welfare of the country’s educators by offering them an alternative income source during the COVID-19 pandemic.

RCBC, through its DiskarTech app, will be offering this alternative digital livelihood option as a part of PLDT – Smart Foundation’s (PSF) Gabay Guro programme.

The DiskarTech app will enable teachers to earn additional income by offering instant digital financial services in their neighborhoods by performing financial transactions on behalf of customers.

The partnership is mutually beneficial as PSF will in turn promote the use of DiskarTech during the activities of Gabay Guro, which includes financial education, digital literacy talks and seminars.
