Muntinlupa broadens financial assistance access for scholars with GCash Visa Card

“The City Government of Muntinlupa remains committed to making education and social assistance programs more accessible to our constituents. Through this collaboration, we are helping ensure that government support is delivered in a manner that is convenient, secure, and responsive to our constituents’ needs.” ~City Mayor Ruffy Biazon
Officials from the City Government of Muntinlupa and GCash formalize their expanded partnership through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing, reinforcing their shared commitment to making financial assistance more accessible and convenient for scholars and beneficiaries.


The City Government of Muntinlupa and GCash have strengthened their partnership through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) aimed at making financial assistance more accessible, convenient, and flexible for scholars and other government beneficiaries.

The expanded partnership builds on the city’s existing collaboration with GCash and introduces additional ways for beneficiaries to receive and use financial assistance. Alongside digital disbursement services, eligible scholars can now access support through GCash Cards, providing another option for managing their funds.

The initiative expands the city’s Financial Disbursement System (FDS) partnership from selected scholarship programs to a wider student population. Through the broader implementation, more scholars across Muntinlupa can benefit from a more streamlined process for receiving government financial assistance through digital payouts.

As part of the expanded program, the City Government of Muntinlupa has begun providing physical GCash Cards to college beneficiaries. The first batch of cards was distributed to 180 Colegio de Muntinlupa scholars in August 2026, giving students an additional way to access their financial assistance.

The GCash Card complements the GCash app by allowing beneficiaries to access their funds through physical card transactions. Students can use the card to withdraw cash or make payments through participating card terminals, giving them greater flexibility even when they prefer not to transact directly through the mobile application.

The expanded Muntinlupa–GCash partnership forms part of the city's continuing efforts to modernize public service delivery and improve the distribution of government assistance through digital solutions.

By offering multiple disbursement options, the initiative aims to make the distribution of financial assistance more convenient and efficient while giving scholars and other beneficiaries greater flexibility in accessing and managing the support provided to them.

The partnership highlights how digital financial services can support government programs by providing beneficiaries with more accessible options for receiving and using financial assistance.

For many scholars and beneficiaries, having multiple options for accessing financial assistance can make receiving and managing government support more convenient. Through the GCash mobile app or physical GCash Card, beneficiaries have greater flexibility to access their funds according to their individual needs, preferences, and circumstances.

By providing both digital and card-based access, the initiative helps make government financial assistance more accessible and convenient, while giving scholars and other beneficiaries additional options for managing their support.

Meanwhile, GCash Head of B2B Sales, Cleo Celeste Santos, expressed gratitude for the continued trust of the City Government of Muntinlupa, noting that the partnership reflects a shared commitment to making financial assistance more accessible for scholars and beneficiaries.

“At GCash, we are honored to support the city's efforts to empower scholars and beneficiaries through digital financial solutions that provide greater convenience, flexibility, and inclusion.” ~Cleo Celeste Santos, GCash Head of B2B Sales

As the City Government of Muntinlupa continues to support education and community development, its expanded partnership with GCash demonstrates how digital financial services and physical payment cards can help improve the delivery of government assistance. By offering more accessible and convenient ways to receive financial support, the initiative provides scholars and beneficiaries with greater flexibility while supporting the city’s efforts to make public services more responsive to the needs of its communities.
