How Much is the Cost of Owning a Dog in the Philippines?
- By Moneymax
- January 21, 2022
For some of us, the ideal best friend is a furry, hyperactive, and four-legged creature. If you want someone to keep you company or someone who loves warm cuddles, an adorable dog will surely fit the bill. Owning a dog has undeniable benefits. According to the reputable mental health publication HelpGuide, playing with a dog can elevate the levels of serotonin and dopamine.[1] In other words, dogs help you relieve stress. However, one truth remains: having a dog can be stressful, too! This is especially true when it comes to the cost of owning a dog. Taking care of younger pets, in particular, is not only physically taxing but also financially demanding. If you’re single and taking care of a dog, you’ll be somewhat forced to try your hand at child-rearing even if you don’t have a kid! With that, you need to be emotionally and financially prepared before you take home a pooch. Otherwise, you’ll end up neglecting your pet, which of course is not a great thing to do. Below is a comprehensive guide that will give you all you need to know about the cost of owning a dog, including dog price of each breed, vaccination cost, and vet check-up cost in the Philippines.

Ask Moneymax: What are My Rights Under Consumer Act of the Philippines?
- By Atty. Aileen Amor - Bautista
- January 13, 2022
As the Omicron variant of COVID-19 surges and the quarantine restrictions have become stricter again, more and more Filipinos resort to electronic transactions. Online purchases in the Philippines have rapidly increased since the pandemic. However, this has also resulted in a myriad of woes from consumers regarding defective items, poor quality, or issues about sellers who mislead customers just to increase sales. In a country where malls are a place to shop, dine, unwind, and pray (most malls have chapels and masses on Sundays), it was a leap to embrace online shopping. Some government agencies even had to establish their satellite branches in malls to make their services more accessible to the public. Before the pandemic, one could hardly imagine Metro Manila without its sprawling shopping centers flocked by crowds. Now that many transactions are done online, consumer complaints also run aplenty. Frequent concerns include, Can defective items be returned? Are warranties applicable? What are the rights of consumers? Is the “No Return, No Exchange” policy legal? We will address these consumer rights-related questions in this article. Table of ContentsKnow Your Rights: Understanding the Consumer Act of the Philippines1.

Important Road Signs in the Philippines and What They Mean

- December 14, 2021
In 2019, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) reported an all-time high of 121,771 road accidents. This represented a year-on-year spike of 4.16%. The figures also meant that there were 334 reported accidents per day on average, with one resulting in fatality. Overall, the MMDA tallied 372 incidents with fatalities that year.[1] The year 2020, on the other hand, has seen significantly lower statistics. There’s been a 46.6% drop in recorded incidents, which can be attributed to lockdowns. Nevertheless, the fact that there are still accidents shows that there are irresponsible drivers (and even pedestrians) on the road. While we can’t determine the exact number of people who didn’t follow the road signs and traffic rules, we know that there are still a lot. As a motorist, you know too well that the lives of the people on the road and the sidewalks all depend on you.
