It’s the most wonderful time of the year, indeed – and one that employed Filipino workers always look forward to. The season to receive and enjoy their 13th Month Pay. The 13th Month Pay is the payment of an additional month’s salary during the financial year. It is a monetary benefit to employees as mandated […]
I have dedicated the holiday break to wasting my time and enjoying myself without worrying about future plans, backlogs, and things I need to do – but part of my system is pushing me to stay productive so I decided to organize my life for the coming year. I started with organizing my room. I […]
What do you do the moment you receive your bonus (be it an incentive or 13th, or 14th month pay)? When I was still receiving bonuses, everything went to my savings account. It is a joy for me to see the figures in my savings account increased little by little. It is the same system that […]
Two emails came in my personal inbox yesterday from familiar names. People I haven’t connected with for months. The names I only knew from the workplace. One is from an assignee/executive from the previous company I worked for (actually, he is not my former assignee, but the manager of the assignee I was chasing because of […]
I was doing (yet again) another major room clean-up, when I saw these envelopes and pre-approved credit cards. The ironies of life – there are people I know who are earning more than I am but are always turned down by credit card companies while the regular worker like me get these pre-approved credit cards […]
I want to start this blog with “once upon a time” but this is not a fairy tale, but it does have a happy ending. Anyway, the story started last month. We received an email from our HR Organizational Team warning us of the ATM Skimming Modus Operandi. The email contained safety tips and an […]
Are you the type who separates your online income from your regular work pay? I do. I want to separate my savings, extra income, dollars and bonuses. Ideally, I want them in separate bank accounts. So anyway, last June 4th, I requested and withdraw some funds from Paypal to my BDO savings account because I […]
I am updating this post to show the updated web version of the online banking site – updated on April 19, 2023 4/25/2019 I received a note last week from our HR team advising us that BDO would be doing system upgrade this Holy Week – which means, we wouldn’t be able to transact […]
I received a text message from Globe last night announcing that GCASH Card is now available! Yes, GCASH users may now withdraw their GCASH fund from 9,000 Automated Teller Machines nationwide (I wonder when they would tie up with Paypal?). The most exciting part is that users may have the option to design their own […]
Yesterday afternoon, I was surprised by the loud knocking outside, and there was an impatient mailman looking for Ruth (my surname here). Right. She’s right infront of you. Not quite convinced, he requested for my ID. Now, this should be serious. I saw the envelope with BDO logo. Alright, I know that it is not […]
