EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The principal goal of the USAID/E-PESO Activity is to help transition the Philippine economy from cash/checks to electronic payments for broader-based economic growth and financial inclusion. The project has achieved this goal during its period of performance from March 18, 2015 to February 17, 2021. From 1% share in 2015, e-payments usage has increased to 10% based on the December 2019 report of the Better Than Cash Alliance (BTCA). USAID/E-PESO has accomplished sustainable initiatives that strongly positions the Philippines to even greater adoption of e-payments. On improving the enabling environment for e-payment usage (Component 3), USAID/E-PESO assisted the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) in formulating the National Retail Payments System (NRPS) to establish a governance and regulatory framework for a safe, reliable, efficient and interoperable retail payments system. The project also provided technical assistance to the BSP in formulating related policies on the establishment of the Payments System Management Body (PSMB) that gave birth to the Philippine Payments Management Inc., on the implementation of the settlement security accounts to eliminate settlement risks for real-time transactions and other policies related to anti-money laundering. These successful and game-changing reforms propelled the wide adoption of e-payments services under the NRPS to 34.5 million transactions valued at Php 531 billion for the month of December 2020 alone since these services were launched starting November 2017. Moreover, these reforms make it easy for innovative digital payments providers to launch new digital payments services in the market to promote competition, efficiency and better customer experience. To help boost the cybersecurity capability of the BSP, USAID/E-PESO conducted a cybersecurity policy review, capacity building and compliance monitoring and with the findings that, while current BSP regulations on cybersecurity are in compliance with the cyber resiliency framework of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the cybersecurity readiness of the financial institutions as a whole 3 | USAID/E-PESO PROJECT Final Report (January 2021) have room for improvement. Monitoring the complex compliance of the financial institutions to the cybersecurity policies led the BSP to decide to implement the Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance System or GRC regulatory technology (or reg-tech) system to the banking industry. To address demand side issues in cybersecurity, USAID/E-PESO, in partnership with BSP and PPMI, co- created a cybersecurity awareness program and launched a cybersecurity awareness campaign. USAID/E-PESO also conducted two assessment studies to inform policy formulation on further boosting usage of e-payments especially by businesses. As the business segment lags behind the government and individual segments in digital payments adoption, USAID/E-PESO conducted an assessment on the root causes behind the problem. It pointed out that revenue regulations requiring businesses to keep hardcopies of invoices and official receipts (ORs) were keeping the businesses in checks/cash. Hence, a recommendation to implement an e-invoicing and e-OR framework in the country would solve the issue and gain some other major benefits. The assessment was very well received and referenced by the BSP, BIR, PPMI and the payments industry. It also led to a follow-on assessment to see how BIR may implement the PEPPOL e-invoicing framework in the Philippines. E- invoicing and e-OR will be critical to the digital economy as it enables B2B e-commerce. On supporting the expansion of e-payment infrastructure (Component 2), USAID/E-PESO provided policy formulation support to BSP on establishing automated clearing houses (ACH) as a component of the e-payments governance structure under the NRPS. These policies helped the payments industry establish the PESONet ACH for batch electronic credit transfers and InstaPay ACH for low-value real- time credit transfers. Upon the establishment of the ACHs, the clearing switch operators (CSOs) were commissioned in accordance with the NRPS. Many banks and non-bank financial institutions participated and launched their front-end infrastructure that connected to the CSOs’ back-end infrastructure. USAID/E-PESO also supported the BSP, PPMI and the payments industry in launching the eGovPay digital bills payment system. Lastly, USAID/E-PESO worked with BSP and a representative group of financial institutions to help them establish a shared cash agent network that will multiply the number and the reach of financial access points most efficiently to onboard customers and service the cash deposit and withdrawal of more customers especially those in remote areas. On driving e-payments adoption by government (Component 1), USAID/E-PESO assisted the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), through policy formulation support and development of financial literacy modules, in transitioning the accounts where the beneficiaries receive their social grants from limited-purpose reloadable electronic gift cards or “cash cards” to fully functional transaction accounts which can be used to access financial services such as digital payments, savings, credit, investments and insurance for deeper financial inclusion. Once fully implemented by DSWD, about 4.5 million conditional cash transfer (CCT) beneficiaries would become capable of using digital payments.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

  • Pablo Picasso Perhaps a Closer Examination of What the Renowned
    1 Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION “Everything you can imagine is real”- Pablo Picasso Perhaps a closer examination of what the renowned painter actually means is that if a human being can imagine something in the scope of the natural laws of reality and physics, then it exists. This rings true for visual art.
