BDO Kabayan Facebook Page Earns Top Honor at Philippine Quill Awards for Supporting Overseas Filipinos

BDO Unibank’s BDO Kabayan Facebook Page has been recognized at the prestigious 21st Philippine Quill Awards, winning in the Social Media Strategy category for its outstanding communication efforts aimed at overseas Filipinos (OFs) and their families.

This milestone reflects BDO’s strong commitment to its Alagang Kabayan promise, providing care, support, and trustworthy financial guidance to Filipinos working abroad.

“We created the BDO Kabayan Facebook Page to be more than just a social media account,” said Genie T. Gloria, BDO Senior Vice President and Head of Remittance. “It’s a reliable companion for our kabayans overseas, a place where they can easily access helpful financial tips, get updates on services and promos, and feel a little bit closer to home.”

Empowering OFs with Trusted Financial Information

With a growing number of scams targeting OFs, BDO ensures its content helps kabayans make informed decisions about their finances. The BDO Kabayan Page regularly shares verified, easy-to-understand updates, protecting users from misinformation and fraud.

The bank’s flagship offering for OFs, the BDO Kabayan Savings Account, is designed specifically to meet the unique needs of overseas Filipinos and their families. It allows users to easily track remittances, manage savings, and get 24/7 assistance through dedicated customer support.

Digital Tools That Make a Difference

BDO also encourages the use of BDO Pay, a mobile app that lets users monitor their account balances, view remittance history, and send money or pay bills in the Philippines at no extra charge.

“By linking BDO Pay to their Kabayan Savings Account, our OFs can manage their money better and even save on remittance fees,” Gloria added. “All it takes is one remittance, and they’re ready to send money or pay billers anytime.”

A Recognition Dedicated to Overseas Filipinos

With a vibrant community of over 500,000 followers, the BDO Kabayan Facebook Page continues to grow as a trusted digital hub for OFs. Beyond just updates, the platform empowers Filipinos to move from remittance to real savings, helping build a more secure future for themselves and their loved ones back home.

“This award belongs to our kabayans and their families,” Gloria shared. “Thank you for your continued trust, it drives us to keep improving our service every single day.”
