Canon Philippines Launches Back-to-School Promo and Canon Academy 2026 Campus Tour

As students gear up for a new school year, Canon Philippines is launching an exciting back-to-school promo and campus tour to help them start strong. Canon wants to empower students to capture, print, and achieve with flying colors, providing dependable tools that support every step of their academic journey.

With a packed school calendar full of research papers, group reports, creative projects, and final presentations, students need gear that can easily keep up. Canon's MegaTank lineup, including select PIXMA G-series printers, offers huge print yields and brilliant quality that won't break a student's budget. This means fewer interruptions, crisp prints, and the confidence to churn out everything from a quick reviewer to a full thesis without worrying about running low on ink right before a deadline.

To make upgrading to the right printer even easier on the wallet this back-to-school season, Canon has lined up some rewarding promotional offers:

Ink Bundle Promo: From July 1 to September 30, 2026, get a FREE 1 set of GI-71s inks worth Php1,365 for every purchase of PIXMA G4770, PIXMA G3780, or PIXMA G4780.

Rewards Points Promo: From July 1 to September 30, 2026, get Rewards points worth up to Php2500 for every purchase of selected Canon PIXMA Printers. Below are the participating models and their corresponding points:

App Registration: For points to be awarded, customers must download the Canon Delightful App and register their newly purchased product.

Point Conversion: Every 1 point is equivalent to Php1.00 which can be redeemed to participating E-GC Giftaway merchants included on the Canon PH App.



Students and families can enjoy greater value this school season through Canon Philippines' Rewards Points Promo, offering up to 2,500 Canon Delightful App points on participating PIXMA G-Series printers.

With its intuitive features, efficient ink systems, and trusted imaging expertise, the brand makes it easier for the next generation of achievers to capture their ideas, print their best work, and finish the school year with flying colors.



Beyond the promos, Canon is bringing the excitement straight to the schools with Canon Academy 2026, an immersive three-month program visiting various universities and colleges nationwide. Kicking off on July 8 to 9, 2026 at the Far Eastern University (FEU) Student Plaza, the tour is designed to deeply engage students specializing in multimedia, design, and imaging, giving them a closer look at the MegaTank and PIXMA printer series alongside Canon cameras.

BPI makes Interbank Transfers Permanently Free

As part of its push for financial inclusion and in celebration of its 175th anniversary, the Bank of the Philippines Islands (BPI) announces that fund transfers to other banks and e-wallets via InstaPay and PESONet on the BPI app, online banking, VYBE, BanKo, and BizKo will be permanently free, effective July 1, 2026.

The move is also aligned with BSP Circular No. 1238, Series of 2026, which calls on BSP-supervised financial institutions to adopt reasonable and fair, market-based pricing for person-to-person electronic fund transfers.

Previously, BPI app users were charged ₱10 for InstaPay transactions and ₱50 for PESONet transfers when sending funds through the BPI app. Transfers to other banks and e-wallets remain free for all verified VYBE users.

“As we mark our 175th year, BPI remains committed to removing barriers to financial access and making banking more inclusive for all Filipinos. Making interbank transfers free is a meaningful step toward enabling our customers to move their money more freely, while strengthening adoption of secure and convenient digital banking,” said BPI President and CEO TG Limcaoco. 

“We expect this to drive more frequent use of digital transfers as customers no longer have to factor in per-transaction costs. It simplifies everyday payments and makes the BPI app an even more practical tool for managing finances,” he added. 

The free interbank fund transfer initiative is expected to benefit more than 9.5 million BPI app enrolled users, enabling more cost-efficient and accessible digital transactions.

The waived fees apply to transactions of:

• All existing BPI mobile app users, including both active and inactive customers

• Clients under BPI Preferred, BPI Gold, BPI Private Wealth, and verified VYBE users who already enjoy free interbank fund transfers as part of their existing benefits

Offer Details

• Zero fees for transfers to other banks and e-wallets

• Applicable to InstaPay (real-time transfers) and PESONet (batch processing)

• Available via BPI online banking, BPI app, BanKo, and BizKo

• Effective July 1, 2026

App Update

In a related development, BPI customers will need to use the updated version of the mobile app by June 25. The app update includes minor fixes and performance improvements to further enhance the user experience.

Customers are encouraged to ensure their app is updated to the latest version, available on the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and Huawei AppGallery.

The removal of interbank transfer fees forms part of BPI’s broader strategy to drive digital adoption and enhance accessibility to financial services. By lowering transaction costs, the bank aims to encourage greater use of digital platforms for payments, remittances, and fund transfers.

Should customers encounter issues, BPI remains ready to assist through its official channels to ensure a smooth and seamless banking experience. Clients may visit www.bpi.com.ph or contact the BPI 24/7 Contact Center at (02) 889-10000.
