The Covid- 19 is a very dangerous virus. It’s a new virus spreads within and outside China which belongs to a family of viruses whose infection can cause pneumonia, respiratory failure and death. They’re transmitted by coughing or sneezing, touching an infected surface and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.
Amid the coronavirus outbreak, many of us are going through the quarantine period along with family members or loved ones to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus disease. Even we are under the “enhance community quarantine, we still have to pay all our bills. Sad to say, we need to pay for it. It’s good to know that most of the utility companies have decided to extend the due date for bills. Since most of the bayad centers are closed, it’s giving us a hard time to pay our bills.
Have you ever try GCash? You don’t need to go to a payment center or wait in long lines anymore. Pay your bills wherever you are with GCash. Instead of paying my Meralco bills at a payment center where I have to go ride a jeep to, I just paid it via my GCash App and stayed at home. It’s quick and easy. Good thing, when I pay bills using GCash, I’m able to have social distance and lesser physical engagement with other people where I may catch the virus.
Here’s the steps to pay Meralco and other utility bills using GCash mobile app:
- Download and Install GCash mobile app for FREE via App store or Google Playstore
- On the main dashboard, tap the Pay Bills icon to start the process.
- Under Biller Categories, select the Electric Utilities icon.
- Under Electric Utilities, browse and tap the Meralco name.
- Under Pay For, select the Total Current Amount option. Then, enter or scan the 26-digit Meralco Reference Number (this is located in the bottom center of your Meralco bill). And write down the amount to be paid and your email address. Click the NEXT button to continue.
- Review your transaction, then click the CONFIRM button to process the payment.
- Once the payment is successful, the payment reference number with the details of the transaction will be enumerated. Click the DONE button to go back to the main dashboard.
- You will receive an SMS on your registered mobile number once the bill payment is successful.
- You will also receive the Payment Receipt in the email address you have provided while processing the payment.
If you don’t have GCash account, this is the right time to download the app and enjoy the convenience in paying your utility bills. PayMaya is available on App Store or Google Playstore .
