Your saving habits mean that much to your loved ones abroad

Tweet

Did you know that managing your budget wisely is one of the smartest and most thoughtful ways to show love and appreciation for a family member who works overseas?

Daily work routine can be draining for an overseas Filipino but seeing the family enjoy every possible comfort is sometimes enough source of relief amidst all the exhaustion. When overseas Filipinos see that their families spend a bit too much, they tend to feel the lack of appreciation for all their hard work. 

When you save portions of the received money and spend it thoughtfully, you prove to be  trustworthy and reliable. Your money saving habits are a sign  that your loved one’s hard work is valued and you’re not leaving them alone in sacrificing to provide for a better life for your family.

If you want to start showing more love for the family member who works abroad, here are a few things that you can consider:

Allocate portion of the money you receive to your savings...immediately

The old formula of saving only lets you set aside what's left of what you spend on living. But when you save at least 10% of what you receive and spend the rest afterwards, you can be sure to have more savings after some time. This habit also lets you have more control on the amount you spend for your daily needs.

Save for something

When you have something in mind as to where your savings can go, you have more motivation to hit your savings target earlier than you’ve initially planned. It would be a sweet gesture to save for something that your family member from abroad would want to buy in the future. Imagine how happy they will be when they realize that the dream is waiting back home.

  

Track your expenses

You may not be fond of keeping receipts but it is about time to start organizing them. Taking note of your personal and household expenses lets you find out how you overspend or underspend on certain items. Tracking your expenses helps determine where you can cut to save more or allocate funds to other items.

Keep your money safe

People forget that keeping their money safe is just as important as spending wisely. Nobody wants to see the fruit of their hard work go down the drain so it matters to know how you can secure your financial transactions. 

Thanks to money transfer services like MoneyGram, those who work in far-flung places can be sure that their money will reach its intended recipients. With more than 350,000 locations in 200 countries and territories, MoneyGram also facilitates easier remittances for Filipino families all over the world.

In the Philippines, MoneyGram has partnered with agents like SM, BDO, Metrobank, Cebuana Lhuillier, M. Lhuillier, Allied Bank, and Smart Money, so that recipients can pick up their money at the most convenient location.

By employing these starter tips on managing finances, the family of an overseas Filipino is sure to keep their finances secure and their loved one proud of their practices towards achieving financial freedom.

Manila Philippines (January 8, 2018) – It has been 18 years since, Canada’s Much Music’s Fan Favourite Band of the Year, and hosts of the 2000 Juno Awards, released any new music. But that’s all about to change!

On January 10th, 2018 The Moffatts, will release the first single from their new 6 song EP of the same name “Secrets”.

The EP was recorded and produced by The Moffatts, and the brothers were writers on all songs. The EP will be distributed by BEC TERO MUSIC; a SONY MUSIC affiliate out of Bangkok Thailand. 

The Moffatts consist of four brothers: Bob Moffatt – Drums, Programming, and Vocals; Clint Moffatt – Bass, Acoustic Guitar, and Vocals; Dave Moffatt – Keyboards, and Vocals; and Scott Moffatt – Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Programming, and Vocals. 

Back in the late 90’s The Moffatts were EMI Music’s #1 International Priority, and toured the world extensively, where they sold in excess of 7 million albums, and were presented with Gold and Platinum records in 32 countries – which included going 10X’s platinum in The Philippines. Their last album, Submodalities featured the #1 hit - Bang Bang Boom, which at the time was the fastest #1 single in Canadian music history. 

The Moffatts signed their first record deal in 1994, and at the time they became the youngest band to ever sign a major label, recording contract.

Although The Moffatts were not performing as a band from 2000 to 2018, it doesn’t mean that they had hung up their instruments.

The Moffatts will begin touring in late April of 2018.

Globe blocks nearly 2,500 illegal sites with #PlayItRight

Tweet

Globe Telecom stepped up its drive versus illegal content by blocking a total of 2,471 domains or sites in 2017 that hosted lewd content and child pornography as part of its #PlayItRight advocacy campaign.

The company has taken a stronger stance to combat child pornography by blocking websites and related content as stipulated in the implementing rules and regulations of Republic Act 9775 or the Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009. 

  “As a purpose-led organization, we have a responsibility to ensure that our products and services will not be used for illegal activities. Globe Telecom is strongly committed to help address child pornography in the country,” said Yoly Crisanto, SVP for Corporate Communications. She emphasized that the company will actively look out for illegal sites that contain vulgar content involving children.

Having partnered with global and local content creators and distributors for its content business, Globe has also taken an active role in promoting legitimate sources of online content. In 2017, the company launched the #PlayItRight advocacy to help the entertainment industry curb piracy and protect intellectual property rights. 

  “Our advocacy #PlayItRight goes beyond anti-piracy, it also aims to protect customers against malware and other cyber security threats that normally accompany illegal content or torrenting sites,” Crisanto revealed. 

“With today’s highly accessible and affordable data and content packages, downloading content from legitimate sources has become so easy and convenient,” she said. “As more mobile and home broadband customers get used to streaming videos on their devices, it is imperative for us to provide our customers with safe and quality content, at the same time, protect the sources of original content including the licensed content of its global partners,” she added.

She said that the #PlayItRight campaign sends a strong message to the public to consume digital content the right way. “We want everyone to consciously behave positively online and stop illegal torrents or other illegitimate online sources. Let’s create new habits that would encourage people to create original content more and give them what’s rightfully due them,” she said.

In 2014, Globe introduced Spotify that changed the way Filipinos download music, helping curb illegal download of mp3 music from illegitimate sources.
