NOW in its seventh year, the Kasambahay Kasambuhay Pilipinas Awards, a joint endeavor of the Junior Chamber International Senate Philippines Inc. (JCI) and Palawan Pawnshop Group (PPG), has named 10 household workers as this year's top kasambahays with a prize of P100,000 each.The winners are Regimar Cabrera, Rolly Rosero, Edwin Mugdan, Susana Berlas, Milagros Diorec, Myrna Domingo, Daisy Medina, Myrna Gerundalan, Grace Nadine Remetilla and Betty Acibo — chosen from over 2,000 entries, which was later whittled down to 500. The search started with only 339 entries when it was launched in 2016.Their stories reflect the Filipinos' love for family, dedication and loyalty. Some of them have shown so much love for their employers and their employers' children who in turn have considered them as extended members of their families. Aside from the top 10 kasambahays, those chosen for the 11th to 30th places (no minimum years of service required) each get a P10,000 prize. Also, 10 of the most liked and shared Facebook posts get P5,000 prize.PPG now has over 3,300 branches all over the country. To adapt to the increasing digital transaction needs of its customers, PPG introduced PalawanPay, an e-wallet app that lets one send and receive remittances instantly and gives users access to other financial services such as bills payment, e-cellphone load, and scan to pay.'We received almost 13,000 entries for most liked and shared Facebook Kasambahay stories. These include various stories of perseverance in the face of hardship, noble sacrifice, and victory over adversity, all with a valiant, exemplary, and triumphant kasambahay in the center of each tale,' Palawan Pawnshop Group President and CEO Bobby Castro said.A brand trusted by Filipinos for 37 years, PPG is one of the fastest-growing financial institutions in the country.
