“We recognize the role that mobile technology plays in the lives of our loyal shoppers, which is why we have partnered with PayMaya to enable QR payments within the stores of our affiliate brands,” says Johnson Go, Robinsons Department Store General Manager.

The partnership is part of the PLDT Group’s initiatives for financial inclusion, stressed Manuel V. Pangilinan, Chairman at PLDT, Smart, Voyager and PayMaya Philippines.
