The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) introduced a new beep-enabled multifunctional ID card at a ceremony held at its National Headquarters in Manila. This card serves as both an official ID and a cashless payment tool, seamlessly integrating with the widely used beep ecosystem.
“As PCG personnel start using their new beep-enabled ID cards, they can anticipate a more seamless and rewarding experience, both in their professional duties and everyday transactions,” said Jonathan Juan Moreno, president and CEO, AF Payments Inc. “This strategic collaboration not only highlights the potential of technology to enhance public service but also stands as a testament to our commitment to modernization and convenience.”
The beep-enabled ID offers convenient cashless transactions on LRT1, LRT2, MRT3, P2P buses, and at convenience stores like Lawson and Uncle John’s. It also provides access to exclusive promotions and beep rewards points.
“This project signals a forward-looking vision, integrating technology seamlessly into the daily lives of our personnel who dedicate themselves to safeguarding our nation,” said Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista. “Let this partnership symbolize our commitment to those who serve on the front lines. Let it serve as a reminder that the Philippine Coast Guard is a forward-thinking institution.”
AF Payments Inc. is encouraging other government agencies to adopt beep technology to enhance processes and employee convenience, aligning with the country’s digital transformation goals.
