Granted, many overseas Filipinos still prefer to ask their friends and family to remit money, or through traditional ways like banks and companies like Western Union. However programs such as SMART "Padala" (loosely translated as "bring my money") and Globe Telecom's G-Cash are gaining in popularity, as many Filipinos are starting to realize the benefits of using cell phones for money remittance. Ads featuring popular matinee idols like local action star Robin Padilla often tout these money remittance services, in order for these to gain widespread acceptance.
