Golden Haven Memorial Lots Are Now the Most Lucrative, Hassle-Free Investments for OFWs

Tweet

In the wake of a turbulent year that upended jobs and threw people’s income opportunities in disarray, more Filipinos are now taking a hard look at investment options that could provide a safety net for the uncertain times. And one sector that is especially seen as potential investors is that of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).

Golden Haven Memorial Lots provide robust value appreciation over time.

OFWs all over the world are aptly regarded as “mga bagong bayani” for helping keep the Philippine economy afloat through the remittances they send home. Their immense contribution to our national coffers can’t be understated. The Philippine Statistics Association discloses that in 2020 alone, these Filipinos sent an average of $2.8 billion despite the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, recent surveys reveal that OFWs are utilizing their remittances for investments as preparation for their retirement.

These modern-day heroes are simply reaping the rewards of their hard work, one of which is having substantial cash to funnel into stable investment options such as treasury bonds, mutual funds, time deposits, stocks, and properties. However, OFWs who continue to toil abroad prefer passive income that requires little or no effort to grow. 

Seen as secure, no-fuss assets that prove lucrative even for first-time investors, memorial lots in the Philippines provide robust value appreciation, especially when offered by the most trusted real estate developers. Thus, there’s no better place to look than Golden Haven, a well-established name in the deathcare industry. 

Building their reputation off beautiful, inviting spaces that inspire loving tributes to the dearly departed, Golden Haven is now present in more than 30 major cities all over the Philippines, with more locations in the pipeline. As such, OFWs can choose to invest in memorial lots in or close to their hometowns.

In fact, almost 20 percent of Golden Haven’s buyers are OFWs who now earn an average of 20 percent annually in terms of value appreciation. Golden Haven memorial lots currently range from Php 53,800 for a single lawn lot to Php 10M for mausoleums. These prices are only expected to rise with time as Golden Haven has shown consistent value appreciation through the years. 

The process of investing in memorial properties has also been made easier for immigrants anywhere in the world as Golden Haven now offers online services through their website. Reservations and payments may be done with a simple click from their computer or mobile device.

Red Rosales, COO of Golden Haven, is upbeat that with economic factors such as lower bank rates being more conducive to investing, OFWs can safely allocate their hard-earned money to the purchase of Golden Haven memorial properties. “We extend great care and consideration to all our clients to ensure that they get absolute benefits from investing in Golden Haven,” he says. “It’s that same love and care that have made Golden Haven an enduring name in the deathcare industry.”

Golden Haven built their reputation off beautiful, inviting spaces that inspireloving tributes to the dearly departed.

New Year, New Space: How to Declutter Your Home After the Holidays

Tweet

The new year just rolled in and the rush of the holiday season is slowly wearing off for most people. The first few weeks are usually quiet since this is the perfect time to transition to a new beginning. If there’s one more thing to love about the new year, it’s the idea that it presents itself as a chance to finally clear out the clutter and get a fresh start. 

With all the holiday preparations that went on and all the Christmas decorations that were taken out of storage, the whole house can still be disorganized right now. In the spirit of new beginnings, it’s time to start the year with a few tips to keep in mind for an effectively decluttered home:

1. Declutter each space in the house

Focus on cleaning out one room at a time to ensure that nothing gets randomly relocated again. Let go of items that no longer serve its purpose, such as clothes that don’t fit anymore, or tupperwares that do not have matching lids. The key to successful decluttering is to make sure that everything has a home and its own designated spot. 

When it comes to cleaning and decluttering specific areas, it’s best to work from the inside out. Start with the bedrooms upstairs or in the innermost part of the house then eventually to the garage or storage area which is usually located at the entrance. Going around each space should not be much of a trouble anymore thanks to the lightweight and ergonomic design of the Samsung Jet Cyclone Stick Vacuum that can clean various types of floors easily. With its Digital Inverter Motor, it can generate a suction power of up to 150W—ensuring every nook and corner of the house dust free and spotless. Cleaning also won’t be as straining for the body since the length of the pipe is adjustable. The vacuum has a long-lasting battery that can last for up to 40-minute use but it’s also easily removable, and can be charged directly with the Z Station Charging Stand.

The Jet Cyclone Stick Vacuum is also very powerful on carpets and hard floors. With its Turbo Action Brush, fine dust particles can be gone in no time. The brush rotates around 3,750 times a minute, and its 180 degree swivel head makes changing cleaning direction easier and more convenient than ever. It even has other types of brushes that are perfect for different kinds of surfaces. 

2. Sort it all out

Some items that are no longer needed in the house can still be in good enough condition to sell to a friend or donate to a local charity. To easily determine this, set up boxes that each have a Donate, Sell, and Throw label and carefully assess each item before tossing it in.

Samsung Combo Washer Dryer’s Cloud Cycle

The clothes, bedsheets, and towels that will be sold or donated should be cleaned first to ensure safety and cleanliness. The Samsung Combo Washer Dryer has an AirWash Technology that deodorizes and sanitizes different kinds of clothes, so they always smell fresh. With just super-hot air, unpleasant odors, bacteria and allergens are removed without boiling or using chemicals. And when the SmartThings App is in use, the Cloud Cycle feature can even recommend better washing performance for specific items or situations through the Laundry Recipe. And should there be any forgotten clothes, the Add Wash™ feature allows extra clothes to be easily popped in and added in the ongoing wash cycle. 

3. Fully commit to a clean home

The new year is also the best time to form new routines to stay organized for the rest of the year. Decluttering the house after all the holiday chaos is the first step to a truly fresh beginning and the next is maintaining it. 

A new routine could be going on scheduled trips to the grocery and only purchasing the items on the list or allotting one day at the end of each week to complete all household chores, such as organizing the desk and sweeping the floors. Or set a date every six months to clean the closet and check on the items that are unused and unworn to free up space.

With the Samsung AirDresser, clothes can also be cleaned while other tasks are being completed for an effective chore day. Using its JetSteam feature that gets rid of bacteria, viruses, or allergens, clothes, and even plush toys, will be sanitized in no time. This is done by infusing high-temperature steam into the fabric. The AirDresser also has a Deodorizing Filter that freshens clothes by breaking down the particles of odors caused by sweat, tobacco, and food.

At the end of the day, the home will be clean, sanitized, and clutter-free.

Following these simple tips will result in a newly cleaned and organized home, which is a great way to welcome the new year.

NutriAsia and Papa team up with DepEd to teach students about proper nutrition

Tweet

Proper diet and nutrition are crucial in young children’s formative years. These foster proper development for children, leading to good health, intelligence, and behavior, thus giving them better chances in succeeding later in life.

In light of this, NutriAsia and Papa forged a partnership with both Marylindbert International and the Department of Education (DepEd) for school year 2020-2021, the Pinggang Pinoy Pina-Sweet Sarap Comprehensive School Program. It is a special module that teaches the importance of having the right diet and nutrition. Powered by Papa Banana Catsup and Papa Spaghetti Pack, the program aims to educate Grade 1 and 2 Filipino students about how keeping a good diet with the right nutrition leads to proper and healthy development.

Department of Education Usec. Diosdado M. San Antonio and Former DepEd Regional Director and K to 12 Curriculum Consultant Dr. Paraluman Giron paved the way for the partnership with Papa Catsup.

“With the Pinggang Pinoy Pina-Sweet Sarap Comprehensive School Program, we have a whole plan ready for teaching young Filipinos how to keep a proper diet and take in the nutrients they need,” said NutriAsia President and COO Angie Flaminiano. “We hope to be a part of their good growth and development and, in turn, the Philippines’ growth as well.” The Pinggang Pinoy program will be launched in 30 participating schools across the country, namely in Regions I, X, XI, and the Cordillera Administrative Region.

School children from Regions I, X, XI, and the Cordillera Administrative Region received DepEd workbooks and Papa products for a truly unique learning  experience.

The class module is the first in the three-stage Pinggang Pinoy program. The second stage will involve cooking demonstrations and activities that will show students and parents how to prepare healthy snacks using Papa products. The final stage will involve a cooking contest that will challenge students, teachers and parents to create unique recipes using Papa Banana Catsup and Papa Spaghetti Pack.

Papa’s advocacy of helping educate Filipinos in the classroom and beyond has also led them to produce edutainment Facebook videos for NutriAsia’s HomeSchool Program. These videos can be viewed at https://nutriasia.com/homeschool/
