If you are an SSS member, you will also be glad to see this feature which I have just seen in SSS website. To go to , you just login to the website , under E-Services, click Simulated Retirement Calculator As for my understanding, simulated means that this will be a member’s potential retirement benefits once he or she turns 60 years old. It answers the questions: Magkano ang makukuha ko pagtanda ko mula sa mga na-contribute ko na sa SSS. For both employed and voluntary members, this feature is encouraging because I know na “pag...

I have my own fair share of online selling as I started my career as a work at home mom through selling on E-bay. I can say that those were exciting days and though I earn small, I felt empowered given that I can augment my husband’s income by selling used stuff or products that I made myself. These days, through the onset of efficient mobile apps and affordable delivery services, establishing an online business can be a walk in the park. LBC, the Philippines’ leading logistics company, recently added two services which made e-commerce...
I must admit that our government agencies might still be turtle-like when it comes to digital progress, but at least now, I am really seeing progress. I’ve blogged about the efficient service of SSS recently, the SSS online system and the SSS Loan Restructuring Program, and I’m just happy to share that I found out that PhilHealth has a working website already. I’ve seen their website long before but it was not functional and they still don’t have an online member inquiry. I believe it’s very important that...
I had a salary loan decades ago when I was still employed in a telecoms company and up till now, I haven’t paid it fully. Somehow, no matter how I tried to pay it, excuses got it in the way. I also applied for a Loan Restructuring Program years ago and I only had P500 to pay monthly. I had P12,000 debt that time and I was given 2 years to pay. Unfortunately, I did not take it seriously and was only able to pay half of it and then stopped paying. After neglecting my dues for more than two years, as I was checking if my SSS voluntary...
Who wouldn’t love an app which will give you back some cash after you shop for your personal needs, something that we routinely do every week? Snapcart, a mobile app currently downloadable only through Android phones, lets shoppers do that. That is to earn something back by scanning receipts through the app. Mayeth Condicion, Chief Data Officer (CDO) and Co-founder, and Reynazran Royono, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Founder of Snapcart Why does Snapcart pay the shoppers? In short words, Snapcart uses the data from the receipts...
The event I attended tagged as Cebuana Lhuillier’s #NationalPilipinoProtektadoDay held at the posh Fairmont Hotel in Makati made me realize how important having even the least insurance for your family’s protection as much as possible. No one can be a hundred percent certain of their financial status all the time. Even if you think you have saved enough, sometimes situations can just be too unexpected and many people had been left with nothing. Cebuana Lhuillier’s #NationalPilipinoProtektadoDay launch at Fairmont Hotel Buffet...
This is not a rant. It’s just that I want to be enlightened why in the usual fast food restaurants that we go to, when I want to order a regular iced tea with my meal, they’d say that it will be automatically upsized and I have to pay more. I know you noticed it but since we usually go to these places, ordering “fast food”, we usually just shrug our shoulders and ignore it when the cashier tells us, “Ma’m, your pineapple juice/iced tea will automatically be large.” But shouldn’t we have the...
