How can I use paypal to send to a GCash account?

I've been advised by an AI tool that Paypal can send to a GCash account.  When choosing Send, it says choose 'Send to someone you trust', but that option is not available.  So how do I do it?

I do not believe that PayPal will send to GCash. Maybe because not all GCash accounts are verified accounts. For GCash, and mobile wallets in other countries, I use Remitly.

I have since got more information...

Currently, you can only send personal payment to another PayPal user, and if that PayPal user has their account linked to Gcash, then they could have the money transferred to their Gcash account from their PayPal account.

Linking directly on the app or web will only be possible if they have a Gcash debit card and they will need to add that card on their PayPal account. The best and easiest option would be for them to log into their Gcash account and from there, there will be an option to link their PayPal account directly.

But here is some information that I found on the web:

To link a PayPal account to GCash, you can do the following:

• Log into the GCash app
• Select Profile or My Account
• Select My Linked Accounts
• Choose PayPal
• Enter the PayPal email address associated with the account
• Log in to PayPal through the prompted page
• Click Authorize

Both accounts must be owned by the same person, and the GCash account must be verified.

When an amount is received into Paypal, the transfer to GCash needs to be made manually.  There is no automatic transfer.
