Catholic devotees observe the traditional Visita Iglesia on Good Friday, 03 April 2026, making their way through Baguio City's historic parishes, some 250 kms. north of Manila. The centuries-old practice, observed during Holy Week, requires the faithful to visit seven or fourteen churches to pray before the Blessed Sacrament and meditate on Christ's Passion. The city's churches and other heritage parishes, opened their doors to the steady stream of worshippers seeking spiritual reflection on the day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

"Nag-start kami ng negosyo noong July 2023, at napakarami na nitong naitulong sa akin—sa bills, sa rents, at sa travels with family. Dati, sapat-sapat lang; minsan kinukulang pa. Ngayon, nakaka-afford na rin kami mag-travel. Aside from cashless payments, nagse-serve din kami as cash-in, cash-out, pay bills, at load—sobrang laki ng tulong, parang kilala na rin kami dito sa palengke as isang GCash outlet. At sa mga natatakot pa ring gumamit ng cashless, ang advice ko—nasa advanced na generation na tayo ngayon, mas okay ang cashless payments para hindi tayo mapeke."

Marie transformed her Baguio market stall into a cashless hub through GCash, elevating her family's quality of life. Where she once struggled to make ends meet, the steady income now allows her to comfortably cover rent, pay bills, and finally take her loved ones on well-deserved vacations. Today, her store is a recognized financial lifeline at the heart of the palengke, proving that embracing digital payments can unlock a secure and thriving future.

“Halos lahat may GCash na po, at mas dumami pa ang pumupunta dahil ito ang pinakamadaling way dito sa amin—very convenient. Tumatanggap din kami ng cash-in at cash-out, depende sa customer, pero madami rin at meron kaming kita. Mas nag-improve yung sales kasi halos cashless na po lahat. So para sa mga negosyo na mag-start pa lang, i-try lang nila kasi effective siya—mas mag-improve yung business.”

For Jen, the growth of her small sari-sari store into a mini-mart was as much of a business milestone as it was a vital win for her community. By operating as a GCash Pera Outlet, the store has transformed into an accessible financial hub where locals can safely pay bills, send money, and cash out daily wages without the need to travel far.
