When I was still young, I used to hear the expression: “Live within your means.” I think nowadays, we need to correct this expression by changing “within” to “below.” These days, if we work for somebody or for a corporation, we need to set aside some savings which we can use for a “rainy day.”

There is never enough savings, that is why we sometimes find a second job. And this is the reason why we want to improve our lives financially, by getting off the “rat race” and achieving financial freedom.

Sometimes, we have the uncontrollable habit of buying things we don’t actually need, especially when items are “on sale.” We stock up on things that are “on sale” thinking that we are saving. At first thought, it seems we are, but on second thought, we are actually losing. Foodstuffs get spoiled. Clothes go out of fashion. Appliances’ warranties expire even before they are used. Sometimes, they become defective due to prolonged storage. And new models are introduced which makes what you have on hand, obsolete or phased out. This might probably be the reason why they are “on sale.” Read the rest of this entry

Why Attend the Mega Balik-bayan Expo and Business Congress?

The Balikbayan and OFW’s contribute to the country’s growth remittance. Money sent by OFW’s back to the Philippines is a major factor in the country’s economy, amounting to more than US$10 billion in 2005. This makes the country the fourth largest recipient of foreign remittances behind India, China, and Mexico. the amount represents 13.5% of the Philippines’ GDP, the largest in proportion to the domestic economy among the four countries mentioned.

Overseas Filipinos sent back $14.4 billion in remittances to the Philippines in 2007, up from the $13 billion in 2006.

The Philippines has estimated an inflow of $15.9 billion worth of remittances in 2008.

This economic back draft created Mega Balikbayan Expo and OFW Business Congress (MBEX) in order to make Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) into Overseas Filipino Investors (OFI), a term coined by President Gloria-Arroyo, which means that besides remittance OFW must now be developed to know how to invest in property, business and other investment vehicles the earnings in order to make their sacrifice working abroad impact positively on their personal live and the country as a whole.

Since majority of the Balikbayans and OFWs return to the country during December, MBEX will provide them the opportunity to learn and select properties, business and investment tools available in the market using the most effective person-to-person tool conference and exhibition.

Each year, CNN gives $100,000 to the winner (from a field of ten finalists— winnowed from 9,000 nominees from all over the world) of its “Hero of the Year” award. This year, a 28-year-old Filipino, Efren Peñaflorida, made it to the top ten. (A panel of 12 well-known personalities from various fields picked the finalists. Colin Powell was among the judges this year).

Efren Penaflorida Pushing Cart

If Efren wins this year’s award (based on how many votes he gets, which will depend on us), he will be able to expand his mobile school program for the children of the slums in the Philippines.

What this young man is doing to improve the lives of the kids in the slums is truly inspiring.

Here’s the link to Efren’s story and his Dynamic Teen Company (the organization he founded). You can vote for Efren by clicking on the link found in the article. http://edition. cnn.com/2009/ LIVING/wayoflife /03/05/heroes. efren.penaflorida/index.html
