Why You Need to Do Online Shopping this Christmas Season in the Philippines

Online Shopping is so underrated in the Philippines. A lot of us still prefer to go to the mall to buy what we want and need but we’re missing out when we don’t consider just shopping online. Here are the top 5 reasons why you should just focus on buying stuff from your smartphone or laptop this Holiday season versus making that trip to the mall. 1. Ang Sagwa ng Traffic mga Besh The most obvious reason is that you get to save yourself from the horrendous Christmas traffic. We all know that EDSA comes to a gruesome halt starting the Ber months because of the volume of cars that hit the road, especially the ones going to malls. You can save yourself the stress by just buying online. 2. Lots of Promos and Sales Exclusively Online There are more sales online than there are in physical stores. Lazada recently did a bunch of massive sales in November and the deals were ridiculously good, especially for electronics. Those are prices you don’t see in physical retail. They’re gearing up for another massive sale on December 12. Make sure you remember that date and make it a point to visit online stores on that day to see deals that you can take advantage of. 3. You can do COD even for International Items LAZADA, through their new investor and owner Alibaba, recently made the entire Alibaba Taobao collection available on their site. This is a fantastic range of affordable China-made products Read More …

5 Ways to Make Money Using Digital and Tech in the Philippines

A monthly salary usually isn’t enough to have a comfortable life. This is the reason why having “rackets” or “side hustles” is important. It allows you to be more productive and it generates more money for you monthly versus just relying on your job. The money you earn is also dependent on how much time and effort you put into it. That said, here are 5 side hustles you can do today in the Philippines leveraging digital and technology. 1. Be a Grab or Uber Partner If you have a car, you can apply to be a Grab or Uber driver partner. The great thing about this is that you’re your own boss. You can bring the car out during your free time or during certain windows where Uber/Grab pays more. You just have to bear with the insane Manila traffic but at least you’re getting paid for it. How to Apply as an Uber Driver in the Philippines How to Apply as a Grab Driver in the Philippines 2.Buy Bitcoin This is probably the riskiest way to make more money. Given how Bitcoin’s value is skyrocketing right now, you can make a bet on it by buying a certain amount and just wait for it to appreciate. You can sell it later on when the value has grown significantly. By the way, there’s no minimum amount to buy Bitcoin. You can just start with 500 and learn about it. Once you’re more comfortable, you can start investing more. How Read More …

Armando Bartolome Many of us go to school, finish college, and have a fairly clear idea of what profession we want to take. But such was not the case with a young lady I met from Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon. She is a full-time artist and a budding entrepreneur. I thought of sharing you her story to help inspire those who wish to become entrepreneurs and those who may be feeling hopeless at this point in their lives.

Denise Vergel de Dios Cacanando’s story is truly inspiring. She once wanted to graduate with a degree from a regular school. But her dad suggested she take a break so she could think about what course she should pursue. Her dad arranged for her to try several jobs in Manila. She worked as a waitress in a restaurant owned by a family friend. A couple of months later, she tried a clerical job in an office owned by another family friend. These experiences helped her understand herself better. What she realized was that living in the city was not for her. She also took inspiration from her bosses. She realized that she was more interested in becoming an entrepreneur instead of an employee. She decided to come back to Bukidnon and share her thoughts to her parents. Her dad Read More …

Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere passed on her crown wearing a stunning gown by Dubai-based Filipino designer Michael Cinco. Mittenaere looked stunning in what Cinco described as a “scarlet red ombre couture gown in full Swarovski crystals” as she handed over the title to Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters of South Africa during the Miss Universe 2017 coronation night in Las Vegas. In January, when Pia Wurtzbach passed on her Miss Universe crown to Mittenaere, who represented France, in the Miss Universe 2016 pageant held in Manila she wore a blue gown by Cinco. Cinco, who set up his couture label in 2003, has dressed a number of international stars including Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga and country singer Carrie Underwood, Miss World 1994 Aishwarya Rai, and Mariah Carey. This year alone, he’s dressed crystal heiress Victoria Swarovski for her big day, as well as several royals and even his own niece.
