Receiving two ‘Highly Commended’ awards for Best Hotel Development and Best Hotel Interior Design at the 2016 Philippines Property Awards held at the Fairmont Hotel, Makati City, it will boost Iloilo’s bid as the country’s top destination for Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE).

Iloilo City now has gained momentum for its bid as a top international MICE destination in the Phlippines, as two new hotels in the city have already been recognized as among the best hotel developments in the country.

“Having two award-winning hotels in Iloilo Business Park is a testament of how Megaworld has alleviated the standards of hotel lifestyle in Iloilo City. This is a first-class city that deserves first-class hotels,” says Jericho P. Go, senior vice president, Megaworld.

Megaworld has spent more than P2-billion to build both hotels. Richmonde Hotel Iloilo was formally inaugurated by President Benigno S. Aquino III in September last year while Marriott Courtyard Hotel is scheduled to open early next year.

“Iloilo City is now ready to host huge local and international conventions and events because these two award-winning hotels sandwiching the Iloilo Convention Center will be able to provide the amenities and services that visitors and guests deserve. We see Iloilo City as the rising MICE destination in the country,” adds Go.
The Iloilo Convention Center is premiere international convention and MICE venue in the Philippines, with the Marriott Courtyard Hotel just a few steps away.

GCash cautions against gambling apps used for phishing

A recent investigation by the National Privacy Commission (NPC) and the leading mobile wallet GCash, has led to the discovery of certain gambling sites and apps which were used for account takeovers in the recent surge of phishing scams. Additionally, some influencers may have unknowingly promoted these gaming apps without being aware of their fraudulent nature. GCash is now cautioning its users to be extremely careful when accessing online gambling sites and apps, and to avoid them altogether if possible. In this latest scheme, perpetrators created gambling apps while falsely claiming to be accredited by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR). These apps deceive users with a verification process, redirecting them to a fake GCash website or payment page to top up betting credits. From there, fraudsters were able to access sensitive information such as credit card details, passwords, GCash numbers, MPINs, OTPs, and other personal data that can be exploited to gain unau
