2GO, one of the country’s largest sea travel transportation solutions providers and a part of SM Investments Corporation, reaffirms its commitment to boost the sea travel experience through its latest accreditation by the Department of Tourism and its continued participation in industry organized travel expos. 

2GO gets stamp of approval by DOT as a Tourism Water Transport Operator in the Philippines. 

The Department of Tourism (DOT) recently accredited 2GO as a Tourism Water Transport Operator and Tourism Water Vessel for all its eight passenger cargo ships. The accreditation highlights that 2GO has met industry benchmarks through DOT's rigorous process to provide travelers with a reliable and convenient sea travel experience.

 

2GO is the only passenger cargo shipping line operating to and from Manila to Visayas and Mindanao. As a company that prides itself on setting new standards, this accreditation will further solidify 2GO’s position as an industry leader and a preferred choice for leisure sea travel.

Throughout both events, 2GO unveiled its unique travel portfolio to industry peers and travel enthusiasts present. As an experiential sea travel provider with a wide range of options across varying budgets, 2GO is a prime travel product that more agents and tour operators can push to the diversifying market. 

 

Blessie Cruz, 2GO Senior Assistant Vice President and Head of Group Marketing said, “Apart from 2GO’s ‘Sail, Sulit, Saya’, we were also able to highlight sea travel as an alternative to exploring the country. Sea travel is more than a mode of transport but an experience. 2GO vessels are fully equipped with amenities travelers can enjoy creating lasting memories on their adventure.”

 

As advocates for the sea travel experience, 2GO launches its Sea Sale for as low as ₱88 from August 8 to 12, 2023.

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.

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...
