Atty. Gino Jacinto<\/a>, COO of UNAWA, delivered a presentation titled
\n“From Ink to Click: The Electronic Signature Advantage for Small
\nBusinesses.” He emphasized the importance of digitization and e-signatures,
\nhighlighting how the E-Commerce Act (Republic Act No. 8792) governs electronic
\nsignatures in the Philippines. This Act recognizes the legal validity and
\nadmissibility of electronic documents and signatures, ensuring they have the
\nsame legal standing as their physical counterparts.<\/p>\n

The E-Commerce Act, enacted in 2000, provides the legal basis for electronic
\ntransactions, promoting technology in business and ensuring the legal
\nenvironment adapts to the evolving digital landscape. Atty. Jacinto explained
\nthat electronic documentation streamlines business processes reduces
\nadministrative time, and offers enhanced security through UNAWA’s SignSecure<\/a> platform, the only
\ne-signature solution in the country with a proprietary facial recognition
\nbiometric system, ensuring security at each step.<\/p>\n

\"UNAWA<\/p>\n

The innovative features of SignSecure resonated strongly with PCCI members,
\nwho appreciated the platform’s ability to verify the identity of signatories at
\nevery step, ensuring enhanced security and compliance. Atty. Jacinto emphasized
\nthat electronic signatures help MSMEs streamline their processes, maintain
\naccurate records, simplify compliance, and reduce costs, allowing businesses to
\nreinvest savings in other areas.<\/p>\n

UNAWA stands at the forefront of legal tech innovation in the Philippines,
\ncontinuously supporting SMEs in their digital transformation journey. The
\n“Capacity Development for SMEs” event marked a significant step
\ntowards empowering businesses through technology, fostering a more robust and
\ninclusive digital economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
