So why Western Union do this ? according to Western Union President and CEO, Hikmet Erserk – “When we were thinking how best to celebrate our landmark 160th anniversary and the role we play in connecting people across the globe, Your World made perfect sense. We’re incredibly proud that people across the globe have been inviting us to be part of their lives for 160 years. Today, we’re online, on mobile, on the phone, around the corner in 470,0001 locations and around the clock. That gives us a privileged and unique perspective on the world. We wanted to find a way to give consumers their own bird’s eye view of their personal network in the world. As well as being a fun way to celebrate the power of human connectivity, Your World is going to create some fascinating insights, and perhaps encourage more of us to reach out to our fellow global citizens.”
Patricia Riingen, Western Union Senior Vice President for Pacific & Indochina said that “Western Union is giving Filipinos the opportunity to make a name for themselves in the global community, Filipinos have come a long way, venturing out into strange lands, building their personal networks and immersing themselves in new cultures whilst maintaining strong ties with their family and friends back home. With the Philippines recently being hailed as ‘the social networking capital of the world’, having nine out of ten online Filipinos on Facebook, it also stands a strong chance of being one of the most geographically connected nations globally”
