- By Ricky Publico
- September 16, 2020
When will they release my new LTO license plate? Can I change my vehicle plate? Can I drive without one? What to do when my license plate is damaged or lost? These concerns may not be as urgent as an overheating engine or a flat tire, but your plaka matters, too. Serving as a vehicle’s identification, the license plate is required by law when driving on public roads in the Philippines. Here are some of the latest LTO license plate updates every car owner should know. Your LTO License Plate from 2016 is Ready for Release Still awaiting your new LTO license plate for what seems like forever? What a bummer. While other countries have started implementing high-tech license plates, here we are—wondering for several years when our physical plates will be issued. But the long wait seems to be over (for some). For four-wheel vehicles registered from January to June 2016, their license plates will be ready for release[1]. LTO started releasing new plates and replacement plates last year and they are now available for claiming. As for vehicles bought and registered before 2016, the excruciating wait is far from over, as the license plates for these units are still being questioned before the courts, according to LTO. How to Verify Your License Plate Availability One way to check your LTO license plate availability is to text LTOVEHICLE<space>plate number of your car and send to 2600. You can also head to the Motor Vehicle 7-Character Plate Backlog Inquiry page[2] and enter your MV file number or also known as Motor…

Financial Gaps Filipinos are Starting to Discover in 2020
By now, everyone has accepted the pandemic as part of everyday life. Some of you may have adjusted already, while others are still struggling. While public health is a great concern, financial gaps are also one thing COVID-19 exposed during this entire ordeal. And as part of your self-reflection, it’s only fair to look back and see what financial gaps you need to improve on to survive the new normal. Here are some of them to help you get started. Lack of Savings Even before the pandemic, Filipinos aren’t known as the biggest savers. Just ask the 2019 Manulife Investor Sentiment Index (MISI) that found Filipinos keep only 3.6 months’ worth of income for retirement[1]. After all, who has a clear foresight of how they want to spend their golden years? Then the pandemic came and made everyone realize the importance of saving. Having no retirement plan is one of the financial gaps that is understandable to some extent. But COVID-19 woke everyone up to the reality that the future really is uncertain. That’s why everyone should start thinking about investing for their future selves. Maybe start with starting an emergency fund or a time deposit? If no one has told you yet: Start saving now! Not Investing Enough Investments, what are thou? It seems that a lot of Filipinos are already aware of the importance of having investments. But before the pandemic, people couldn’t be bothered with it. Yes, that included me, a naive millennial terrified of computing numbers. But not investing enough is indeed a glaring financial gap…

- By Ricky Publico
- August 26, 2020
Budgeting for yourself is usually a piece of cake. When you know your exact wants and needs, sometimes you don’t even need a budget to end up fine until the next payday. Family budgeting, on the other hand, is entirely a different ball game—mainly because you have other people to worry about. It’s not just you who’s going to starve once you fail to make ends meet. It can be difficult because it forces you and everyone in your household to give your finances a hard look. What needs to go and what needs to stay? Let these tips help you out.

- By Ricky Publico
- August 25, 2020
A few years ago, many people regarded social media as an optional commodity. Today, it has become a solid fixture in everyone’s lives that we can arguably call it a necessity. Social media has affected your life in more ways than one, from personal to financial. And the latter is what’s fascinating about social media. How can my personal feed or the way I interact with people online affect my finances, you ask? The good news is that it affects you in positive ways. The bad news is that it also does the opposite. Let’s take a look. Better: Social media is a great platform for businesses If you’re a business owner, social media has become one of your most essential tools for success. It’s great that there are platforms out there where you can easily advertise your products without spending thousands on advertising. From local businesses to million dollar companies, social media allows everyone to co-exist on a level playing field. In fact, Facebook recognized their potential in this area and introduced Facebook Marketplace in 2016. Since then, it’s now one of the leading online selling platforms in the Philippines. So if you want your business to grow, everyone has to see it on social media or it doesn’t exist. You can also try boost options offered by most platforms to boost your exposure. Worse: Social media is an endless advertising board “If something’s free, you’re the product.” Nothing embodies this quote more than social media.

5 Money Lessons I Learned During the New Normal
- By Ricky Publico
- August 11, 2020
From the way we work to the way we interact with one another, the new normal brought a lot of changes in our lives. COVID-19 affected everyone, whether infected or not. Everyone was forced to give a hard look at how they live their lives, finances and all. And as someone who has been stuck at home for over five months, I saw first-hand how my perspective on money changed each day. Here are the money lessons I’ve learned so far during this seemingly endless quarantine period. New Normal Money Lessons I Learned Why Saving Money Matters If I had a nickel for every money-saving tip I’ve learned over the years, I would probably live comfortably by now. It’s hard to motivate myself to save when my paycheck arrives, telling me that I’m now slightly richer than my yesterday self. But during this pandemic, I’ve grown to appreciate the art of saving money and why everyone should develop this skill. For one thing, the amount of money I saved gives me assurance that I won’t go broke anytime soon, even if there’s an emergency.

Build Financial Freedom: How to Start an Emergency Fund
- By Ricky Publico
- August 7, 2020
By now, you already know the importance of setting aside money for your savings. But what about an emergency fund? Aside from saving for the far future, it’s also advisable to save money for emergencies in the near future. You might end up with a medical emergency or you might end up losing your job. It’s always best to prepare your wallet for the worst. Admittedly, it’s going to leave yet another dent to your wallet, but you’ll be getting financial security in exchange. If you didn’t know about this type of savings fund, you’re not alone. More importantly, it’s not too late to build one. Get started with your own rainy day fund with these helpful tips. What is an Emergency Fund? An emergency fund is a readily available source of cash for unforeseen expenses or situations. Separate from your savings and investments, it allows you to prepare financially for events like unemployment, medical emergencies, home, and car repair, etc. That’s why it’s also called a rainy day fund because you never know when it will rain—just like you never know when a financial crisis will come. How Much Emergency Fund Do You Need? The general rule of thumb for building an emergency fund in the Philippines is to save an amount equivalent to your salary for three to six months[1]. That should cover medical fees, car repairs, daily expenses brought by unemployment, and other emergency situations. And before you ask, buying new clothes or gadgets doesn’t count as an emergency. Why Do You Need an Emergency Fund? For…

Getting to Know the Credit Information Corporation in the Philippines
- By Ricky Publico
- July 30, 2020
Were you ever tempted not to pay a loan or a credit card bill? You probably thought you can get away with it and you can just apply for another loan after a few years. If that’s the case, this Credit Information Corporation (CIC) primer will convince you otherwise. In a nutshell, that’s the primary function of a credit registry: to monitor loan transactions by every individual and financial institution with credit facilities. In the Philippines, the CIC does exactly that and more. Let’s get to know the Credit Information Corporation a little better. What is a credit registry? The World Bank[1] defines the function of a credit registry as the following: “Credit registries are generally developed to support the state’s role as a supervisor of financial institutions. Where credit registries exist, loans above a certain amount must, by law, be registered in the national credit registry. In some cases, credit registries have relatively high thresholds for loans that are included in their databases. Credit registries tend to monitor loans made by regulated financial institutions.” Basically, a credit registry makes sure all loan transactions are accounted for. Banks and loan providers can’t just loan large amounts of money to anyone. Likewise, an individual can’t just avoid paying credit card balances and apply for another loan instead. From the date of application down to the amount of loan transactions, credit registries will keep track of every detail of everyone’s credit records—loans, credit cards, installment plans, and even utility bills. They will then use the data to provide you a better look…

Online Barter: Is It Illegal and Is It Safe to Trade Goods?
- By Ricky Publico
- July 24, 2020
“Out with the old and in with the new,” as the saying goes. But recently, something from the days of old has started to emerge and inspire a trend like no other. If you know your news, you should be familiar about the latest issue on online barter and whether or not it’s illegal. And if you know your history, you should be somewhat familiar with what online barter is. Is it illegal? Is it a safe trading practice? Will it cost you money? Let’s answer all these questions as we take an in-depth look at this modernized form of trading goods. What is Online Barter? Online barter means exactly what you think it is. It involves the exchange of goods, usually of equal value with no money involved—all done through social media. The trend was started by Atty. Jocelle Batapa-Sigue in May 2020 as a way for Bacolod citizens to acquire essentials during the enhanced community quarantine[1]. She founded the Bacolod Barter Community on Facebook[2] that inspired everyone’s bayanihan spirit. Since then, other communities began forming online barter platforms for all types of essentials. Online barter communities function like a real community with the goal of helping each other out more than scoring essentials for cheap. As of writing, the Bacolod Barter Community has over 200,000 members on Facebook. Other communities nationwide have also started their own barter system by creating their respective Facebook groups. The mechanics of online barter are pretty simple. No cash is allowed and buying or selling is discouraged. Members of the community must post…
