Megaworld unveils new corporate HQ in Uptown Bonifacio

Property giant Megaworld has a new home in the bustling Uptown Bonifacio, the 30-storey Alliance Global Tower.
Located along 36th Street corner 11th Avenue in the company’s 15.4-hectare Uptown Bonifacio township in the northern district of Fort Bonifacio, the Alliance Global Tower is a 30-storey glass-clad ‘green office development’ that has a direct connection to the award-winning Uptown Mall.

“On our 28th year as a company, we have transferred to our brand-new corporate headquarters. This is a product of the more than two decades of hardwork, dedication and excellence of the 5,000+ employees of the Megaworld Group,” says Lourdes Gutierrez-Alfonso, chief operating officer, Megaworld.

Covering 53,248 square meters of office spaces, the Alliance Global Tower is home to Megaworld and its subsidiary brands Global-Estate Resorts, Inc. (GERI), Empire East Land Holdings, Inc. and other affiliate companies.

The building’s façade is made of double-glazed glass curtain wall, allowing natural light to penetrate the building but with less thermal heat and good sound insulation.

The building uses an integrated Destination Operator Panel (DOP) and keycard access system for its elevators, allowing smooth in-and-out traffic of elevator passengers and for efficient security monitoring.

Megaworld’s office floors boast of wide working spaces spanning across 2,100 square meters per floor. The office floors have a total of almost 100 meeting and conference rooms as well as training and testing rooms. Each floor features the ‘open office layout’, allowing corporate transparency among its employees.

Each floor also features employee lounges: the Wellness Lounges are equipped with treadmills and workout facilities while the Creativity Lounges have facilities for reading and quick meet-ups. Each lounge also has a pantry with tables and chairs, as well as coffee facilities. Aside from the regular toilets for employees and guests, each floor also has its own toilet for persons with disabilities (PWDs).
At the 26th floor, the Alliance Global Tower features ‘The Great Hall,’ an expansive dining hall and event facility exclusive for Megaworld employees. The building also has its own Mother’s Station, medical clinic, shower room and a helipad.

The building also features a 300-square meter ‘Skygarden’ at the 18th level, which connects directly 
to the executive offices and the Chairman’s Boardroom that can accommodate around 54 people. Another 445-square meter skygarden is located at the roofdeck.

The Alliance Global Tower is a LEED-certified office tower that features integrated façade mechanical design for highly-efficient energy consumption, water-efficient landscapes, bike racks and shower facilities and use of non-to-low toxic green cleaning products and pest control strategies.
Last May, the building won the ‘Best Office Development’ award at the 2017 Philippine Property Awards.

A few days ago, the Alliance Global Tower also received the ‘Outstanding Sustainable Development for Office’ award from the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI Philippines) during the 2017 Property and Real Estate Excellence Awards.

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
