GCash Corporate Communication and Public Affairs team clinched the 2025 Bronze Stevie for Communications Department of the Year, reflecting the team’s strategic storytelling and impact-driven narratives.
Through strategic storytelling, impact-driven narratives, and tech news that empowers communities, the GCash Corporate Communications & Public Affairs Team earned multiple distinctions at the 21st Philippine Quill Awards 2025. The team received honors in Women in Tech under Communication Management and in Community Relations and Diversity and Inclusion, both for GTalks.
In addition, the Corporate Communications and Public Affairs Team was named a Bronze Stevie® winner for Communications Department of the Year at the International Business Awards (IBA) 2025. These accolades underscore how GCash Corporate Communications continues to balance business growth with purposeful and sustained focus on driving inclusion, trust, and meaningful impact.
Championing women in technology
At the Quill Awards, GCash was cited for its GTalks: Empowering the Next Generation of Women in Tech. The session, part of the broader GTalks series, opened dialogue on bridging the gender divide in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), where women remain underrepresented worldwide.
Through programs like GTalks, GCash has made space for more women to participate in technology-driven careers by promoting inclusive hiring, offering flexible work arrangements, and investing in ongoing learning. Its partnerships with groups such as Connected Women and For The Women also help ensure women are equipped to lead and succeed in digital roles. These efforts reflect commitments of GCash such as the signing of the UN Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs) in 2024. Currently, half of the company’s leadership team is led by women.
“Recognition from the Quill Awards affirms that financial technology can play a role far bigger than transactions. With platforms like GTalks, we are creating opportunities for women, the youth, and underserved communities to take part in shaping the digital economy. At GCash, progress is defined by inclusion, because growth that leaves people behind is not real progress at all,” said Gilda Maquilan, VP and head of corporate communications at GCash.
Communications excellence on the global stage
On the international front, the company’s corporate communications team was honored at the 2025 Stevie® Awards where it received the Bronze Stevie for Communications Department of the Year. The recognition reflects the team’s role in building confidence in digital finance, guiding public conversations on fintech, and amplifying the broader purpose-driven initiatives of GCash.
Over the past two years, the team has supported major milestones, from helping position GCash as the first Philippine company in the World Economic Forum Unicorn Community, they have also been instrumental in promoting programs such as GForest, which has supported the planting of over 4 million trees, and the GCash Eco Run, which encouraged 12,000 Filipinos nationwide to take part in climate action.
By earning distinction both locally and abroad, GCash demonstrates how a Philippine fintech brand can stand as a leader in both innovation and advocacy, championing financial access while also using its platform to push for equality, sustainability, and nation-building.
