Advisory for excess Pag-Ibig contribution

Employees contribute PhP100 to Pag-Ibig monthly. This is mandatory. But if you wish to add more to your Pag-Ibig contribution, you may do so. I have an additional PhP100 monthly contribution. I don’t know if this is true but somebody must have told me that the additional contribution would allow me to get a bigger housing loan when I decide to get one. And the additional contribution is also tax-exempt. But things are changing.

Ericsson Money: New International Remittance Service

  By admin | July 18, 2011 - 7:49 am | money tips Leave a comment

We all know Ericsson as a provider of technology and services to telecom operators. It has recently launched an international remittance service that would cater to overseas Filipino workers (OFW) in Europe and allow them to send money to their loved ones in the Philippines.

This remittance service is in collaboration with Globe’s GCash and SMART’s SmartMoney e-wallet schemes. OFWs based in Europe can now send and receive money to their families in the Philippines. Alerts would be sent via the mobile phone and recipients can withdraw it from their designated ATMs.

The service takes the place of Western Union, a popular service for OFWs. The problem with Western Union is that it has expensive remittance fees and recipients in the Philippines often face the problem of Western Union going offline.

Another remittance service would provide convenience for many OFWs. They have more choices to choose from and they can choose the service that provides them the best value.

The Dark Lord and I have been married for five years now. This October, we will mark our sixth anniversary. As a tradition, we have our annual out-of-the-country vacation. And because Singapore is his favorite destination, we are again heading to SG for a four-day stay.

This early, I’ve already been searching online for best Singapore deals. So far, I have managed to book our tickets to Universal Studios Singapore at 20% discount. We also availed of Cebu Pacific airfare for just PhP7500 for two.

A big-ticket item in our list is accommodations. We’ve never been fussy about accommodations but there are non-negotiable items like security, cleanliness and accessibility.

Despite the popularity of blogs in the Philippines, one niche that hasn’t really gained that much fame is the personal finance-related blogs. I think this is mainly because the banking and finance industry hasn’t really caught on. I’ve been invited to blog meets related to banking but they all felt like a traditional press conference for mainstream media. Continue reading →
