No Comments on Philam Life Released Over 51,000 Education Benefit Payouts

With increasing tuition fees and extended years of basic education, having an education plan has become even more relevant nowadays. Many parents who have made a decision decades ago to invest in a good education plan for their children, are now reaping the fruits of their hard-earned savings, thanks to Philam Life.

In May of 2016, 50,000 scholars received their education payout for the 1st semester of SY 2016-2017. This second semester, Philam Life released over 51,000 education benefit payouts to policy owners. Most of the benefit payouts were made through CTA (credit to account) as part of the company’s “ease of doing business” drive to ensure policyholders receive their benefit payments in a fast and convenient manner.

OPPO F1s: Travel Selfie Tips

No Comments on OPPO F1s: Travel Selfie Tips

Whether it’s a day hike up Pico de Loro or a few days touring Angkor Wat in Cambodia, travel is always the perfect time for selfies. But any selfie won’t do if you want to capture the grandeur of the great outdoors from atop a mountain, or those ancient ruins choked by overgrown banyan trees—with you included in the shot, of course.

Travel selfies are as much about the place as they are about you. Otherwise, you don’t get to show proof of how awesome your vacation trip was, save for a souvenir shirt or some nasty sunburn. So rather than filling the entire shot with just your face, be sure to highlight the destination in your selfie.

With that said, here are a few other tips on capturing travel selfies that will be the envy of your IG followers:

Show some action

So you got a selfie with your face beside the Eiffel Tower. Cool, but not much in the way of excitement. Try doing something to make you look like you’re having a great time, like spreading your arms wide to welcome yourself in Paris, or even eating ice cream.

No Comments on Solane Promotes Filipino Values #DapatLang

We still use LPG at home and you can’t imagine how paranoid I am when it comes to using that. You know, maid forgets to turn off the stove as well as the gas tank, hubby turns off the stove but not the tank, me forgetting the same sometimes. It’s of utmost importance to check it after they use it. As for me, I go back several times a day to check and again a few times at night and sometimes wee hours. Lol, yeah I’m super paranoid!

Haier Philippines: Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine

No Comments on Haier Philippines: Fully Automatic Top Load Washing Machine

Aside from being tedious, laundry work takes precious time away from the things that matter most — family.

This is true, even with a washing machine. Many modern homes still use a two-tub semi-automatic washing machine with a washer separate from the spin dryer. While the dryer adds efficiency, the process of waiting for the wash to end then transferring wet and heavy clothes to the dryer can interrupt chores as well as quality time. The process doubles with more clothes to wash.

This is what larger capacities, a single tub for washing and drying, and fully automatic operation aim to address. Fully automatic top load washing machines offer such advantages to lessen strain and add comfort to doing laundry. All you have to do is toss your laundry in and pick your wash and dry settings. You then get to have more time to do other household work, as well as have fun with your loved ones.

No Comments on Boho in a Solo Art Exhibit

Ginny Guanco’s figures for her painting exhibit at the Galerie Y in SM Megamall are what can be described as a Bohemian’s rhapsody. The art show, which features all-female subjects, opens on September 15. Of the 32 colorful paintings of women, 26 of these are clad in classic boho chic designs in a bow to the artist’s roots as a full-bloomed flower child in the 70s.

No Comments on Philam Funds: Investment Upside of a Strong US Dollar

For someone like me who works online and earns in US Dollars, the steady rise of USD exchange rate to Philippine Peso is a great news! Whereas in the local market, investors are now looking at US Dollar-denominated investments to help offset local volatility and achieve good returns.

Coinciding with market uncertainty associated with an election year, the Philippine Peso itself has been underperforming since mid-April. At present, the domestic currency is hovering around the P47:USD1 level, making its 1.9 percent depreciation the third – highest in Asia after the Chinese Yuan’s 2.3 percent and Malaysian Ringgit’s 4 percent.
