Get the biggest savings from your trusted brands

One can never go wrong with value-for-money purchases

Manila, Philippines – Everyone loves a “sulit” purchase. Whether you’re on a budget or on a splurging mode, getting the ‘most bang for your buck’ is a simple yet profoundly rewarding feeling.

When it comes to spending, less doesn’t always mean more. Oftentimes, investing early on or upgrading strategically can be more cost-efficient especially for necessary items and essential services at home. 

Here are five ways you actually save more in the long run by strategically spending now.

1.      Bigger is better. For regular-use items like detergent soap, shampoo, dishwashing liquid, coffee or milk, buy the bigger or family-sized packages. This eliminates the need for you to buy more often. Items which come in refillable containers also give you more savings because you’ll only have to buy refill packs which are cheaper. The same principle applies to buying in bulk aka wholesale especially for food items you consume daily like rice or eggs. 
Bigger is better




2.      Pay in full. Whenever you can, it’s always best to settle your bills in full. This especially applies to credit cards and tuition fees. Paying in full means you avoid interest charges which can significantly compound debt. In most schools, a discount is given to parents who opt to pay in full at the start of the school year. Aside from the savings, not having to worry about succeeding payments is always a priceless feeling.

Reduce clutter

3.     
Get an extra

Get an extra. Having an extra of everything is not just convenient, it’s also practical. For instance, buying two pairs of reasonably priced office shoes so you can alternately use them is a smarter choice than buying one expensive pair which will wear out faster if used daily.


4.      Buy in bundles. Aside from saving you money, bundles save you shopping time. It also helps you avoid the temptation of choosing a more expensive brand. There are bundles for food items, toiletries, clothing and even digital services.PLDT’s Best Buy Bundle is a bundle that brings together the digital lifestyle basics of Filipino families—home broadband, mobile connectivity and home entertainment.

The Best Buy Bundle enables subscribers to mix and match unlimited PLDT Home Fibr, Smart mobile, and Cignal pay TV plans. Aside from the unified bill, subscribers enjoy huge savings of up to 15% off when they bundle three services and 10% off if they choose a pair. The savings are actually quite substantial if you do the math—up to P11,300 in a year. The best part about PLDT’s Best Buy Bundle is that you can actually upgrade your broadband, mobile and pay TV plans and end up saving more.

Making the most of your hard-earned money is always a challenge but it doesn’t mean it can’t be done. The first crucial step is changing the way you think about spending. Remember: Spending less now does not always mean you actually save more. By thinking ahead and looking at the bigger picture, you can make smarter and more practical purchase decisions without compromising quality and comfort.

Can Nanotechnology Reduce Cell Phone Radiation?

A company based out of Manila says yes, and claim they have the study to prove it.



Nanofixit has developed a shield, based on Nanotechnology, which will reduce cell phone radiation by more than 90%. The reduction rates were discovered in a certified SAR Lab at the Holon Institute of Technology in Israel. The study clearly showed a decrease in the dangerous rays being emitted from the screen, where Nanofixit had been applied.



The knowledge and findings of the risk of cell phone radiation are finding more support among the scientific and professional community involved with the matter. Recently the state of California issued a warning and guidelines to its citizens on how to reduce exposure1. The warning is especially targeted towards children as cell phone and tablet use become more and more common amongst young children. According to Dr. Devra Davis2, young children are especially exposed to danger because of their thinner skulls. Cell phone radiation can thus easily penetrate the skull and affect the brain.

EU and US organizations warning about cell phone radiation

The European Environment Agency (EEA), an agency under the European Union, has also raised concerns about the potential risk factors of a prolonged exposure to cell phone radiation. The director of the EEA is calling for precautionary actions to avoid a “plausible and potentially serious threat to health”, such as previously seen with smoking, asbestos and leaded gasoline.

The FCC, a regulating independent agency in the US, has set a SAR level limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg), which most cell phone manufacturer use as a guideline. But this “safe level” is assuming that you hold your cell phone at least an inch away from your head, which very few people do. FCC also notes.



Many people mistakenly assume that using a cell phone with a lower reported SAR value necessarily decreases a user’s exposure to RF emissions, or is somehow “safer” than using a cell phone with a high SAR value, according to FCC.

A major US Government study performed on rats found a link between cell phone radiation and cancer risk

In a peer-reviewedstudy, by the National Toxicology Program performed on rats, “low incidences” of two types of tumors were found. The rats were exposed to the type of radio frequencies (RF) that are commonly emitted by cellphones.

“Where people were saying there’s no risk, I think this ends that kind of statement,” said Ron Melnick, who ran the NTP project until retiring in 2009 and recently reviewed the study’s results.


SAR test confirms more than 90% reduction in cell phone radiation

Nanofixit has tested its products at the Holon Institute of Technology in Israel, one of the leading international institutes for testing radiation generated by cellphones. The test was done on some of the most popular cell phone brands in the market; iPhone 6S and Samsung Galaxy S6 showing reduction rates of more than 90% for the iPhone and 89% for the Samsung Galaxy S6.

“These results are truly unique for any screen protector in the market”, says CEO of Nanofixit, John Moe. “It is very difficult to reduce radiation without affecting the performance of the cell phone. But we have done just that!” continues Mr. Moe.
