Two long-standing members of Innovative Technology Limited’s China office celebrate key milestones with the banknote validation and biometrics solutions provider this month.
Sean Wang, Business Development Manager (BDM) based in Shenzhen, celebrates 20 years with the company and is a strategic part of the international sales team.
Commenting on his long-standing achievement, Sean said: “Since joining Innovative Technology Limited’s China branch, I have seen the company become an established, innovation-led global technology business and a major cash system provider for the China and Taiwan markets. I had the honour of being part of the set-up of the China manufacturing team in the early 2000s and I am proud of our growth supporting an increasing number of East Asia countries over the years.
“I’ve been so lucky to work in various roles, visiting different countries and customers to introduce Innovative Technology Limited (ITL) products into many Asian countries. I enjoy embracing new challenges and my next target is to bring the NV4000 multi-bill recycler and SMART Coin System (SCS) bulk coin validator, hopper and recycler to a high-level market position in East Asia over the next five years.”
Another member of ITL China also celebrates a significant milestone this month. Tony Wang, ITL Support Engineer has been working for ITL’s China branch for a decade and is a key member of the technical team.
Commenting on his impressive milestone, Tony, said: “The past ten years working for ITL have been very rewarding for me, seeing the company go from strength to strength. When I first joined ITL, I was responsible for all technical support and after-sales services in China. As the team grew this allowed me to focus more on the integration and development of new projects and provide high-level technical support for our expanding product range.
“I am very proud to work with an excellent team around the world serving our loyal customers. I enjoy seeing a project through from beginning to end, which has developed my skill-set and personal abilities. Helping customers in various fields including self-service, retail, vending and entertainment, integrate our products to progress their business and improve performance is very fulfilling. We are continually upgrading and developing the ITL product range to meet the needs of our customers and I look forward to being a part of this successful organisation for many years to come.”
Commenting on China’s double celebrations, Marcus Tiedt, Sales and Marketing Director for ITL, said: “Both Sean and Tony are valued members of the team, who have progressed and taken on more responsibility during their time at ITL. They have excellent technical knowledge, give first-class service to customers and partners and are highly valued by all our international sales and support teams. Congratulations to them both on these impressive milestones.”

PAGCOR BRAVES FLOODS TO HELP DISASTER-HIT COMMUNITIES

At the height of the downpour and massive flooding in Metro Manila and nearby provinces Wednesday, volunteer teams from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) started bringing relief packs to affected communities.
Classes and government work were suspended on Wednesday and Thursday due to the widespread flooding, but PAGCOR volunteers went into action nevertheless.
“Even at the height of the flooding, and even before the President ordered government agencies to provide assistance to affected communities, PAGCOR employees already went to action to help those in need,” PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said.
The PAGCOR chief said that since July 24, the agency has delivered more than 21,000 food and non-food relief packs for thousands of affected families.
“After the heavy rains subsided and it was safe to do so, we started bringing immediate aid to flooded communities in Caloocan City on Wednesday, followed by relief operations in Valenzuela, Malabon and Malolos, Bulacan the next day,” he said.
Mr. Tengco added that PAGCOR was scheduled to distribute relief goods to the cities of Marikina and Navotas on Friday as well as to affected towns in Bulacan like Calumpit and Bulakan which were all submerged in floodwater.
“It has been second nature to PAGCOR to immediately respond to the needs of affected communities in times of disasters,” he said.
“We understand that while it is part of our mandate to contribute to nation-building, it is also our moral obligation to help ease the plight of Filipinos in times when they need help the most,” the PAGCOR chief added.
He said PAGCOR’s relief operations are ongoing, with more employees volunteering to help repack relief goods Saturday and Sunday in the agency’s warehouse in Imus, Cavite to support distribution efforts in the coming days in Bataan, Batangas and Cavite.

Philippine President Marcos Announces Ban on POGOs

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has banned the establishment of any new Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), also known as Internet Gaming Licensees (IGLs), with immediate effect. Existing POGO operators will have until the end of the year to wind down their operations.
The verdict, not entirely unexpected, was delivered during his State of the Nation Address in Manila on Monday following widespread pressure from a Senate investigation into illegal POGO-linked activities.
“Effective today, all POGOs are banned. I hereby instruct [gaming regulator] PAGCOR to wind down and cease the operations of POGOs by the end of the year,” Marcos said in his SONA.
The decision to shut down POGOs follows a series of recent raids on illegal POGO compounds in Pampanga and Tarlac amid allegations they had been engaging in human trafficking and scam activities.
A full ban, proposed by multiple senators, had also gained the support of the Department of Finance (DOF) and the National Economic and Development Authority.
