Digital Doc program: Send me your QR code | PR Post | MarkMyName

 The next time you look to pay your doctor, you may want to ask for his or her QR code --cashless transactions are safer for the patient and doctor alike.     

Through our Digital Doc program, we enable doctors and medical professionals to enjoy the benefits of digital payments via QR code.     

“We are thrilled to share the benefits of cashless transactions -- in enabling online health consultations and in keeping us all (doctors and patients alike) safe during these trying times,” said BPI Deputy Head of Marketing Mariana Zobel de Ayala. “In addition to keeping us safe from COVID-related health risks, the use of QR codes keep your bank accounts safer as well -- they are less prone to errors that often happen when keying in account numbers and transfer amounts.”

Patients can pay in seconds and for free -- by just scanning the QR code and inputting the payment amount. Doctors, in turn, are able to monitor their funds anytime, anywhere through BPI Online or BPI Mobile app.      

“As BPI, we hope to be a partner for our healthcare professionals -- in enabling them with what is needed to adapt to the next normal, and more importantly, to keep them safe, ” she said.

To activate a QR code for free, doctors are invited to log in to BPI Online or BPI Mobile app and select “Other Services,” followed by “QR Generator.” From there, they simply select the account for which they wish to generate a QR code for, and can even add a nickname or label for their QR code -- so that it is easily recognizable for anyone they send to. They have the option to include an amount requested for payment -- but either way, by clicking “Save to Device” they can access it easily anytime -- and send it to their patients as they wish. Beyond the benefits of convenience, BPI’s digital banking platforms offer security features to ensure protection of your data and account information.

Birthday Panalo App | PR Post | MarkMyName

This fun, entertaining app will allow users to commemorate birthdays in a more rewarding way

Leveraging the available digital tools and platforms to bridge their services to more Filipinos, mostly those that are in the far-flung areas, PCSO, in partnership with Minedomain, Inc., is set to launch 'Birthday Panalo,' a free and easy-to-use application with an entertaining game which will allow Filipinos to celebrate important dates in their lives, like anniversaries and birthdays, with exciting cash prizes.

Made for Filipinos, by Filipinos

Designed with Filipinos in mind, the Birthday Panalo app banks on the deep-rooted culture of Pinoys in putting value in commemorating special dates like birthdays and anniversaries. 

While millennials are the main audience targeted with the launch of the app, Seaver Choy, Minedomain Inc. IT officer shared that ease of use is one of the main factors their team considered in developing Birthday Panalo to make it enjoyable for users across various age groups.

"We want the millennials to love this game so we went for what millennials want most -- ease of use. We only put in the necessary elements for users to be able to do what they need to do fast and immediately," he said.

"We focused on the user experience when we were developing by having iterating designs that had constant user feedback. Birthday Panalo has gone through multiple design changes based on different user feedback across different groups," Choy added.

The core group which made and designed the Birthday Panalo app was an all-Filipino team composed of professionals from the country’s top universities including De La Salle University, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and University of the East.

"Birthday Panalo app was built with resilience and celebrations in mind. We made it fun and easy to bet but still overly secure," Choy furthered, assuring users that the personal data and information they input within the Birthday Panalo app are protected according to industry standards.

Choy noted that the Birthday Panalo app has been tested by local and international cybersecurity companies like GLI, Bolton Labs, and Mantua, among others, to ensure that the app has the needed safety measures in place to avoid leakage of user data.

"Internally, we are also certified when it comes to how we operate and how we maintain the application," Choy said.

Celebrations made even more rewarding

Within the app which carries design elements signifying Filipinos, ‘Kapanalo’ or users of the app can place a bet on a three-part number combination consisting of a month, a day, and a year. If the same combination gets to be picked during daily draws, a user can win as much as P100,000 as a cash prize.

After downloading the app, users can easily sign up using either their mobile phone or email address verified through a one-time password (OTP) sent by the app. Once done with the registration process, users can proceed participating in draws for as low PhP 10 which they can pay via mobile wallets like GCash and PayMaya. Winners of lucky date combinations which will be notified via the Birthday Panalo app may claim their prizes at the PCSO main branch in Mandaluyong City, or have it credited on their respective mobile wallets.

The Birthday Panalo app will soon be available for free download via the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Kapanalo from all over the Philippines can also look forward to playing the Birthday Panalo game in select PCSO outlets nationwide in the coming months.

Charcuterie Board (Pinoy Style Edition) | What's Cooking | MarkMyName

Since super sikat ng charcuterie bago matapos ang taon at aminin na natin, wala naman tayong gaanong access sa mga sosyal na cold cuts at iba't ibang uri ng keso. Naisip naming magimbento ng kung anu anong street food na ilalagay sa board. Nakakaganda din kasi ng display sa hapag lalo na kung may handaan. 

We did this noong media noche at salubong ng 2020 and 2021. So dahil bagong taon, uso ang bilog bilog na handa pampaswerte daw. Ano pa nga ba ang mas bibilog sa mga fishball, itlog and squidball diba? hahahaha

Medyo challenge lang yung timing dahil ang ganitong mga prito masarap kung makakain agad pagkahango sa mantika. Dahil hindi naman sabay sabay yan naluto yung iba kumunat na. nonetheless, I think ang importante din dito na iconsider ay yung pagkaka arrange nila. Dahil nga prito almost lahat, magandang paghiwa hiwalayin yoong mga halos pareho na ang kulay.

Madalas nadadaan naman talaga yan sa presentation. I think, liban sa dapat maganda yung presentation dapat complimenting din yung laman ng board and hindi ka magsasawang kumutkot at kumain.

PS Thank you to Nolisoli for featuring this board as Best budget board—fried turo-turo edition.

Every household has their own version of chicken macaroni salad. A cold salad that is commonly served in occasions. This video shows a common or basic recipe of it. The rest are embellishments to the flavors.

Basic Chicken Macaroni Recipse

• Mayonnaise 
• All purpose cream
• Minced onions. Red or white up to you.
• Pickle relish 

Literally the rest is up to your creativity. You can add peanuts, pineapple bits, and other profile of flavors. 

Fresh herbs are also nice to have like cilantro, celery, among others.

You can make big batch and keep it in the fridge and would normally last for a week or two. Good to serve with fried dishes or grilled as it balances the palate.

To build the dish you simply mix all the ingredients and taste per your liking.

How aboutbyou you what else do you add to you Chicken Macaroni salad? The creativity is endless.

Inom ka ng Inom

Alak pa alak pa.

Lasing ka nanaman.

Madaming sinasabi na pag gising ay di alam. Madalas nating sisihin ang taong lasing. Dahil tayo ay nagsasalita sa pananaw ng taong nakakakitang sya ay lasing. Tama ka! Lasing nanaman ako! Dahil yun ang nakikita mo.

Pero bago maganap ito ano ang kinalaman mo.

Ano nga ba ang tunay na alam mo sa buhay ko.

Sino ka para husgahan ako. Sino ka para sabihin ang patutunguhan ng buhay ko. Hindi ito isinulat para sabihing tama ako at ang iniisip mo ay mali. Naitala ito dahil tama ka. Oo lasing nanaman ako.

Patawad kung ito ay mali sa paniniwala at pananaw mo pero sana maniwala ka din na di wala itong kinalaman sayo.

Lasing ako. Oo. Uminom ako. Oo. Pero di ko intensyon na saktan ka, pakialaman ka o kung anumang kinatatakutan mo dahil lasing ako. Kaya’t wag kang matakot o mangamba o mangialam kung lasing ako. Dahil ang totoo wala itong kinalaman sayo.

Chicken Sotanghon Soup | What’s Cooking | MarkMyName

Simple way to relieve hangover. It’s party season again although we know that most of us are really not allowed to party, being resourceful that we are, we can always find means to celebrate apart. Virtual e-numan is really a thing now and TBH I find it hard to you know, being drunk along at home. Hehehe 😝 unlike if you go to a real or physical drinking session. I’m not sure why? Do you feel the same?

We’ll, here is a meal that will surely relieve your hang over.

Super simple and definitely budget friendly.

Using leftover chicken, some leftover veggies - those na papasok sa qualifications ng chopsuey, pwede na yan!

Noodles. Here I used Sotanghon but of course no judgement if you want to use other noodles like canton, soba or even pasta. Pasok din yan!

Ang importante dumighay ka!

Chow!

Adlai Porridge | What’s Cooking | MarkMyName

If you think healthy is boring, I agree. I always stereotype the idea of healthy with salad, less salt, low carb and all other food that we are used to eat. Specially in the Philippines where carb plays an important role in every meal. I’m sharing this blog not because I follow a particular diet at the moment but because I want to trigger your creativity on the idea of healthy meals.

Key is to have healthier alternatives which doesn’t sacrifice the flavors you crave for. For instance this adlai based arroz caldo recipe which is pretty much super close to morning lugaw favorite.

Adlai is also grains but have more benefits and we can say it’s lesser evil than the usual carb we are used to. Texture and taste are almost or close to rice and corn. Carbs and sugar is definitely lesser than some other form of grains. 

Adlai is much longer to cook than white jasmin rice so we need to watch the cooking time.

Let’s dig in to the recipe.

Ingredients:

Chicken (choice cut)

Onions

Garlic

Ginger

Fish Sauce

Salt and pepper 

Adlai

In this recipe, I don’t want to give measurements because everything will be up to your liking.

Procedure in cooking Adlai:

Wash the Adlai at least 2 twice. Just like how you clean the rice. 

In a pan, sear the chicken with a bit of oil until the skin is a little brown. 

Add ginger, onions,and garlic, the sauté to bring the aroma. 

Add the washed Adlai grains, add chicken stock.up to 4 times cup of the adlai. Add fish sauce, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until the stock thickened.

The smooth soup texture can be achieved by increasing the cooking time. When the stock is fully reduced and Adlai is still loose or not fully cooked, you can add water and just adjust the taste with fish sauce. You may also opt to add slurry to achieve the lugaw bigas with malagkit. .

Once cooked serve it with

I hope I was able to share tips on how to make boring lugaw or rice porridge a little healthy.
