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.

No Comments on Goldilocks 50th Anniversary Cakes Found!!!

The Goldilocks 50th Anniversary Cakes in billboards nationwide had gone missing a few months ago and much buzz were created by the company to attract attention including print and Social Media. And now, the search is over! The missing Goldilocks cakes have been found!

Early last June, Goldilocks billboards in key areas of the metropolis simultaneously displayed a giant 50th Anniversary celebration cake. The signature cake was truly attention-grabbing, featuring a delightfully decorated mocha cake with a number 50 candle topping it off.

Roughly a week later, however, countless people were perplexed when these cakes literally went missing, leaving a gaping cake-shaped hole hole right in the middle of the billboards. Discussions and theories flew left and right on social media, with news reports in mainstream print and television following suit. People wanted to know… where was the Goldilocks 50th Anniversary Cake?
