Third, thousands of Filipinos have lost their jobs due to shutdowns. many Filipinos are unemployed and are at home with little or no source of income. Since the lockdown, NEDA estimated that 196,000* Filipinos experienced income decline. They need your help for them to earn income online.

And lastly, millions of Filipinos have limited their movement and stayed home.

The Oplan Big Bro Philosophy

Digital Marketing is the New Normal Advertising Strategy

The campaign uses the “Hitting-2-Birds-with-1-Stone” strategy. It will provide quality services to the Big Bros according to their needs while at the same time provide CSR platform for them to help MSME and Rippler Small Bros.

MSMEs MUST Go Digital

We will create the appropriate digital marketing initiatives for each MSME Small Bro beneficiary. It aims to help them sell their products and services online and if possible accept payments online as well.

Community Empowerment

We compensate our online community with money, items or vouchers. This is through sharing all their campaigns online using their social media accounts. So, a simple Juan dela Cruz can earn those cool rewards via word of mouth advertising using their social media accounts.

Specifically, cash incentives will be coming from the participating Big Bros paving way for the channeling of resources to millions of Juan dela Cruz, instead of using it for paying big agencies like FB and celebrities. Additionally, items and vouchers, on the other hand, will be coming from the recipient MSME Small Bros.
