Atty. Gino Jacinto leads digital transformation in Philippine law, advocating for electronic signatures and AML screening to boost efficiency and compliance.

In the Philippine legal and financial sectors, Atty. Gino Carmine S. Jacinto stands out as a leading figure driving digital transformation. As the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of UNAWA, a pioneering legal tech company, he has been instrumental in integrating electronic signatures and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening into business operations, enhancing efficiency and compliance.

Early Career and Legal Expertise

Atty. Jacinto’s legal career spans over 15 years, during which he has amassed extensive experience in corporate law, compliance, and digital transformation. His tenure gave him a deep understanding of businesses’ complexities in regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. This background has been pivotal in shaping his approach to developing digital solutions that address these challenges.

Founding UNAWA: Bridging Law and Technology

UNAWA aims to empower Filipino businesses by providing user-friendly legal tech tools that streamline operations and ensure compliance. Under Atty. Jacinto’s leadership as COO, and with the recent recognition as co-founder, UNAWA has developed innovative solutions such as SignSecure and UCheck, which have become integral in promoting the adoption of electronic signatures and AML screening in the Philippines.

Advocacy for Electronic Signatures in the Philippines

Atty. Jacinto has been a vocal advocate for adopting electronic signatures in the Philippines. He emphasizes that electronic signatures are not only legally binding under the E-Commerce Act (Republic Act No. 8792) but also offer numerous benefits, including:

Enhanced Efficiency: Streamlining document signing processes, reducing turnaround times.

Cost Reduction: Minimizing expenses related to paper, printing, and logistics.

Improved Security: Utilizing advanced authentication methods to ensure the integrity of signed documents.

Through platforms like SignSecure, which incorporates facial recognition technology, Atty. Jacinto has demonstrated how electronic signatures can be both secure and user-friendly. This innovation has benefited small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) seeking to digitize their operations.

Championing AML Screening for Financial Integrity

In addition to electronic signatures, Atty. Jacinto has been instrumental in promoting robust AML screening processes. Understanding the critical importance of preventing financial crimes, he led the development of UCheck, a comprehensive solution that enables businesses to:

Conduct Thorough Background Checks: Access global sanctions lists and Politically Exposed Person (PEP) databases.

Ensure Regulatory Compliance: Stay updated with evolving AML regulations.

Mitigate Financial Risks: Identify and prevent potential financial crimes before they occur.

By integrating AML screening into daily operations, businesses can protect themselves from legal repercussions and contribute to the overall integrity of the financial system.

Recent Engagements and Contributions

Atty. Jacinto’s commitment to digital transformation is evident through his participation in various industry events. Notably, on November 11, 2024, he spoke at “ELEVATE: Empowering Young Entrepreneurs with Tech-Driven Solutions,” a key session during Philippine Startup Week 2024. Held at the Rotary Club in Makati City, this event gave young entrepreneurs actionable insights into leveraging technology for business success.

Following this, on November 12-13, 2024, Atty. Jacinto represented UNAWA at the 71st Annual National Convention and General Membership Assembly of the Rural Bankers Association of the Philippines (RBAP) at The Manila Hotel. During this convention, UNAWA announced a strategic partnership with EcoGlobal to integrate digital solutions into rural banking operations, including electronic signatures and AML screening. This collaboration aims to:

Enhance Financial Inclusion: Providing rural banks with better tools to serve their communities.

Streamline Compliance: Simplifying regulatory processes through digital means.

Promote Operational Efficiency: Reducing manual errors and improving transaction experiences.

These engagements underscore Atty. Jacinto’s dedication to fostering a digitally inclusive financial ecosystem in the Philippines.

Vision for the Future

Looking ahead, Atty. Jacinto envisions a Philippine business environment where digital solutions are seamlessly integrated into legal and financial operations. He believes that widespread adoption of electronic signatures and AML screening will:

Empower Businesses: Enabling them to operate more efficiently and competitively.

Enhance Compliance: Ensuring adherence to local and international regulations.

Foster Innovation: Encouraging the development of new technologies and solutions.

Through his leadership at UNAWA, Atty. Jacinto continues to drive initiatives that align with this vision, aiming to build a thriving digital Philippines.

Conclusion

Atty. Gino Jacinto’s unwavering commitment to digital transformation marks his contributions to the Philippine legal and financial sectors. By championing the adoption of electronic signatures and AML screening, he has paved the way for businesses to operate more efficiently and securely. His efforts enhance compliance and promote a culture of innovation and inclusivity, positioning the Philippines as a leader in digital integration within the region.

Boost asset performance, cut downtime, and stay ahead of competitors with PetroSync Reliability & Maintenance training for business leaders. In today’s competitive industrial landscape, asset performance is no longer a technical concern—it is a business imperative. If your competitors can maintain higher equipment availability, reduce downtime, and respond faster to failures, they gain an advantage that directly affects market share, profitability, and customer trust. As a business leader, you may already sense this pressure. The uncomfortable question is not whether reliability matters, but whether your organization is moving fast enough. When Your Competitors Fix Assets Faster Than You Can Imagine two companies operating similar assets in the same market. One experiences frequent unplanned shutdowns, while the other maintains steady production with minimal disruption. The difference is rarely luck—it is capability. Organizations that invest in reliability and maintenance competencies empower their teams to detect issues earlier, prioritize the right tasks, and execute maintenance with precision. Studies consistently show that mature reliability programs can improve maintenance productivity by 15–25%, simply by reducing reactive work and improving planning accuracy. While your team struggles with fire-fighting mode, competitors with structured reliability frameworks move faster, recover quicker, and deliver more consistent output. Over time, that performance gap becomes impossible to ignore. The Hidden Cost of “Business as Usual” in Reliability and Maintenance Many companies underestimate the cost of maintaining the status quo. On the surface, operations may appear stable—but beneath it lies inefficiency. Unoptimized maintenance strategies often lead to: Excessive overtime and labor waste Spare parts overstocking or critical shortages Repeated failures that erode asset life According to industry benchmarks, poor maintenance practices can consume up to 30% of total operating costs. Meanwhile, organizations that adopt reliability-centered approaches typically achieve 10–20% operational efficiency improvements, freeing capital for growth rather than repairs. If competitors are already operating leaner and smarter, continuing “business as usual” is not neutral—it is a risk. How Smart Reliability Leaders Turn Technology Into a Competitive Weapon Forward-thinking leaders understand that reliability excellence is no longer driven by people alone—it is amplified by technology. AI-powered maintenance tools, including intelligent chatbots, are increasingly used to support frontline teams. These systems help technicians access procedures, historical failure data, and troubleshooting guidance instantly. The result is faster decision-making, fewer errors, and reduced dependency on limited expert resources. Organizations implementing AI-assisted maintenance solutions report: Faster issue resolution and improved team productivity Reduced training time for new technicians Operational cost savings of up to 20–30% by minimizing downtime and unnecessary interventions However, technology only delivers value when paired with strong reliability fundamentals. This is where professional capability development becomes critical. Programs such as CMRP Training and CRE Training equip professionals with the strategic and analytical skills needed to turn tools and data into real performance gains. Staying Relevant in an Era Where Asset Performance Defines Market Winners The reality is simple: markets reward organizations that can sustain asset performance under pressure. Those that fail to evolve risk falling behind—not because they lack assets, but because they lack reliability leadership. Reliability-centered methodologies help businesses shift from reactive maintenance to structured decision-making. Programs like ARCM Training enable teams to align maintenance activities with business risk, ensuring resources are focused where they matter most. Meanwhile, RCA Training helps organizations break the cycle of recurring failures that quietly drain profitability. For business leaders, investing in reliability and maintenance capability is not just about equipment—it is about protecting competitiveness. When your competitors can deliver faster, cheaper, and more reliably, the cost of inaction becomes far greater than the cost of transformation.
