At last, the Philippine Stock Exchange offered to the public on December 2, 2013 the country’s first listed ETF or Exchange Traded Fund with the First Metro Philippine Equity Exchange Traded Fund, Inc. (FMETF).

The OFW UsapangPiso Dubai team led by Cherry Murillo and Normie Pascua, conducted its 2nd Cashflow Game event for the year (and the 3rd major event for the group in 2013) last Friday, November 22, 2013 at the Sweet Pepper Restaurant in Karama.
