The Heart of The Deal: How To Create A Fun Yet Affordable V-Day Celebration

Can you afford to be in love?

This was the question I posed to our millennial attendees and friends from media during a Valentine forum a couple of years ago where I shared the stage with finance personalities and entrepreneurs Wilson Lee Flores, Aya Laraya, and Marie-France President George Siy.

The forum discussion focused on finding the real costs of the different stages of love, from courtship, marriage, and starting a family. Each of the invited speaker shared their wisdom on relationships and discussed how money plays a big role in making each relationship work out successfully.

7 Promising Online Careers for Would-Be-Balikbayans

Working abroad has been the go-to option for many struggling Filipino families. Indeed, many Filipinos have improved the quality of living of their families back home while they are working abroad.

While exciting new jobs are sprouting all over the country, it can not be denied that a job offer from abroad that promises a better compensation package is hard to refuse for ordinary and mostly minimum-wage earning Juan de la Cruz’s. It’s the reason why we still have over 10 million Filipinos working and residing overseas.

But working abroad is not a long-term solution. Every OFW must always find other ways to earn apart from the salaries they are receiving abroad. Because there is no such thing as a lifetime overseas employment contract.

Using a PC or laptop, a webcam, a headset, microphone, and a high-speed stable internet connection, an OFW can work online during their spare time and earn as much as or even more than what they are receiving from their foreign employers.

**Starting a business can be a struggle for every Balikbayan. If you are preparing to be a freelancer or entrepreneur in the Philippines, then you will need to get registered and file your taxes. You can do this with the help of Taxumo.
