The Play’s the Thing: How Fun Can Make Your Child a Better Student

If you have been following my blog for sometime, you may notice that I have been advocating homeschooling as one of the best methods in planting knowledge in children.

My wife serves as our child’s “school adviser” and lead teacher and I, the “other subjects” teacher in homeschooling our daughter. I prefer it that way. 😀

My wife teaches our child the main subjects such English and Filipino Languages (Reading and Writing), Mathematics, Science, etc. while I am in charge in teaching about Values/Religion, Music, Physical Education, and other “extra-curricular” subjects. But we both work together in teaching our child about setting goals.

But what struck me recently is this infographic sent to me by a friend from the US. We don’t have to be boring and authoritarian in our teaching ways. Fun and play should always be part of the lesson plan. Continue reading The Play’s the Thing: How Fun Can Make Your Child a Better Student

Angat Pilipinas’ FLY to Schools Missions Launched

Our non-profit organization Angat Pilipinas Coalition for Financial Literacy will be kicking off its FLY To Schools Missions with an educational visit to Malinta National High School (Valenzuela City) on June 26, 2015.

The FLY (Financial Literacy for the Youth) to Schools Missions program aims to encourage students in public schools to set life and financial goals, and provide them with the basics of money management.

We believe that through this program they can increase their financial literacy and aspire more to achieve success in life.

If you want your community school to be visited by the AngatPH FLY Team, please communicate with us by sending an email to info@angatph.com. You may also visit our website www.angatph.com and fill out the contact form. Continue reading Angat Pilipinas’ FLY to Schools Missions Launched

Money Mistakes That OFW’s Make (My ANC OnTheMoney Guesting)

While we were on a few days of summer getaway in Bohol back in April 2015, I received a call from ANC OnTheMoney. It was about the new schedule for my guesting on the TV show. As you know, I have been postponing the guestings that they have been asking me for the last two years for a few good reasons.

First, I’m out of the country most of the time. Secondly, vacations are sweet and short for an OFW like me. My fellow OFW’s know that spending time with loved ones during their vacation is the ultimate happiness and the most priceless period on the whole year. And visiting loved ones and family members was what I usually did in the past two annual vacations.

This time around, my friend Heinz Bulos of Moneysense/Learning Curve, who partners with ANC OnTheMoney in providing guests for their show, emailed me about accepting the invitation to guest. So yes, I said yes. 😀 Thank you Heinz! 🙂 Continue reading Money Mistakes That OFW’s Make (My ANC OnTheMoney Guesting)
