Women Leaders on Leadership: 5 Lessons from Moneymax Co-General Managers
- By Venus Zoleta
- March 15, 2021
Women in the Philippines have come a long way in breaking gender stereotypes and the glass ceiling across industries. From running the household to climbing the corporate ladder, women have shown that they are as capable as men and can even achieve more. In fact, the Philippines ranks first in a recent global survey on women in leadership roles, with 43% holding senior management positions. Grant Thornton International’s 2020 Women in Business report[1] notes that Filipinas hold key positions in business operations—particularly strategy, finance, and people. Even in traditionally male-dominated sectors such as manufacturing and financial services, we often see women taking the lead. Moneymax, too, has two women leading the organization.

Personal finance has become more accessible than ever but for some reason, saving money is still easier said than done. Perhaps because you’re surrounded with different types of toxic people without you knowing it? Similar to losing weight, saving money is a commitment that requires discipline and hardwork to successfully pull off. And in the process, you’ll have to avoid certain types of people the way you have to avoid certain types of food. Here’s a quick guide so you can start saving today. Table of ContentsTypes of Toxic People You Need to AvoidYour Kalabit-Penge FriendYour Judgmental RelativeYour Party Animal CoworkerYour CrushYour 2 A.M. SelfFinal Thoughts Types of Toxic People You Need to Avoid Your Kalabit-Penge Friend Think about it: the concept of having a needy friend has been ingrained in Filipino culture that it has its own term. At one point, you were friends with someone who only hangs out with you when you’re loaded. The kalabit-penge friend usually asks you for a lot, ranging from food to even money. Those harmless “Libre ka naman!” quips could end up costing you. So if you’re still friends with someone with the same MO, send him or her a big FO and GTFO as far away as possible.

The Costs of Owning a Dog: Maintenance, Vaccinations, Vet Check-ups, and More
- By Moneymax
- February 20, 2021
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: owning a dog can be stressful, too! This is especially true when it comes to dog care costs. 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 owning a dog, from costs to becoming a responsible fur parent.
