MANILA -- Filipinos living abroad may now send their gifts to their loved ones back home through a more secure way sans balikbayan boxes.

ABS-CBN Global recently launched Checkout+, a web-based, mobile friendly and hassle-free way of sending electronic gift cards (EGC) to beneficiaries of Pinoys overseas.

Powered by ABS-CBN The Filipino Channel (TFC) and Giftaway, an e-company in the Philippines, Checkout+ is an opportunity to further offer a better service to kapamilyas abroad.

“It offers a variety of products and services from Philippine-based establishments which overseas Filipinos can choose from as gifts or presents to their loved ones in the homeland,” said ABS-CBN Global Ltd. business development manager Mike Tolentino.

It takes only three easy steps to use Checkout+.

1. The overseas Filipino purchases an EGC on the Checkout+ website (https://checkoutplus.mytfc.com/) using a credit card or PayPal.

2. The recipient in the Philippines receives a notification of the EGC via SMS or text message and email. The notification contains a personalized message, a unique code, the corresponding value of the gift and the merchant’s name.

3. The recipient in the Philippines claims the EGC in any authorized branch of the merchant by showing the code to the cashier or customer service.

"The beauty of Checkout+ is its simple, instant, and convenient to both the giver and receiver especially with the ever-increasing consumer connectivity through the ubiquitous mobile gadgets,” said Tolentino.

Checkout+ covers a wide range of products and services from participating merchants in the Philippines from apparel, footwear, sporting goods, fashion accessories, specialty stores, home, electronics, bookstore, cosmetics, kitchen, fragrance, kids, spa, fitness studio, salon and barbershop, dermatology, activities, tours, accommodations, automotive, education, food, to dining.

“And far from the previous image of gift cards as a thoughtless, impersonal gift, the giver is not only able to send a personalized message; he or she actually can out a lot of thought in choosing the EGC from a list of quality and vetted brands or merchants. In the end, it’s a win for everybody,” said Tolentino.
