WorldRemit, a leading digital cross-border payments business, is launching a promotion to help customers celebrate the holiday season and build a dream business for a loved one in the Philippines.
From November 1st until December 31st, 2020 customers can enter the promotion by sending money to the Philippines using their valid WorldRemit account, and registering at www.worldremit.com/pangkabuhayan to get a chance to win 1 of 10 Grainsmart franchise business packages worth PHP 200,000 for a recipient of their choice back home.
“We at WorldRemit recognise the challenges that Overseas Filipino Workers and their families face especially at this very difficult time. On top of ensuring that remittances are safely received through our services, we want to help these families rebuild and become more financially independent by creating opportunities to generate sustainable income. With this promotion we are not only supporting the recipients but also the Filipino farmers who similarly need support,” said Earl Melivo, Country Director for the Philippines at WorldRemit.
Each Grainsmart franchise business package includes:
- 60 sacks (25 kg each) of rice
- A digital weighing scale
- A tablet that’s fully set up for a bills payment centre account
- Business signage, marketing collateral, and other business paraphernalia
- An online training and mentorship program – to provide guidance for setting up the business for success
Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected people’s livelihoods. The onslaught of Super Typhoon Goni and Typhoon Vamco has magnified this in the Philippines, displacing thousands, devastating homes and destroying businesses.
Winners will be announced on the WorldRemit Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/WorldRemit/).

Carta Launches Carta Law with Acquisition of Avantia13.5.2026 14:01:00 EEST | Press release
Carta, the agentic enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform for private capital, today announced it has acquired Avantia, a leading AI-powered legal and compliance law firm for asset managers. The acquisition launches Carta Law—the largest AI-native, integrated legal and compliance solution for private markets—unifying legal and compliance workflows with fund operations on a single platform. Private capital firms have long operated with fragmented infrastructure, with fund administration, compliance, and legal services spread across separate vendors. Deal teams wait days for NDAs. Limited partner onboarding to new funds is delayed by KYC backlogs. General counsels lose visibility into legal spend or institutional precedent. As deal velocity increases and regulatory complexity grows, this fragmentation becomes a competitive disadvantage and operational barrier for funds. With the acquisition of Avantia and the introduction of Carta Law, the industry will have a single-platform soluti

Uptime Announces Annual Outage Analysis Report 202613.5.2026 13:02:00 EEST | Press release
Uptime Institute today announced the release of its 8th Annual Outage trends report, an ongoing series from Uptime Institute Intelligence analyzing IT service resiliency. Outage prevention continues to be a central focus for data center operators as demand growth, AI-driven workloads and power constraints reshape risk profiles. As design and operations improve, operators must still navigate greater system complexity, grid instability, deeper interdependencies and evolving external threats. The 8th Annual Outage Analysis 2026 report analyzes recent data on the causes, frequency and consequences of IT and data center outages. For the fifth consecutive year, Uptime Intelligence Research suggests that outage frequency on a per-site basis is declining. However, the pace of improvement has slowed compared to previous years and approximately 1 in 10 note their last outage had serious or severe impacts. In publicly reported outages, external infrastructure failures are becoming more prominent.
