Online Apps

The pandemic brought in massive loss of jobs. For those who are not as unlucky, it also brought in a change of work setup, converting businesses into work from home. Online apps became even more useful when we can no longer function like before. 

1. GCASH - This is a Philippine mobile wallet, mobile payments, and branchless banking service. This service became very useful when paying bills and making Government service requests. It proved helpful when transferring funds to family and relatives when needed.
2. ZOOM - This is a proprietary video teleconferencing software program. The popularity of this service shoots up since the pandemic. It became useful for those office online meetings and online classes. It has overtaken SKYPE and Google Meets did not even measure up.
3. GrabFood - This is the fastest food delivery service in the Philippines. It has curated dishes, restaurants, and cuisines to help the Philippines grab their food and delivered it at the comfort of their own home. Food delivery service became everyone's best friend during the pandemic when we are no longer allowed to go out and enjoy our favorite dishes outside. The pandemic gave rise to motor rider employment.
