Children gain an understanding of the value of money, the consequences of impulsive spending, and the rewards of saving. These practical skills empower them to make responsible financial decisions as they grow older, laying the groundwork for a financially secure future.</p></div>
Games that teach kids about money provide a positive and enjoyable approach to financial literacy. These games enable them to learn and practice crucial money management skills in a safe and engaging environment. From basic financial concepts to critical thinking, goal setting, and practical budgeting, these games empower children with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of personal finance. Encouraging children to explore these educational online games can pave the way for a financially responsible and prosperous future.Kagay-anon Onlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05808482837791846068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405915540564889395.post-51617101648145373672022-12-22T20:35:00.004+08:002022-12-22T20:35:41.295+08:00Check out what’s in Moira’s shopping list this Christmas!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxKhS9MtmAl48faCUpTerXblFDV6GRk2fSs5x6k8z6WDmKpYX5tScVDLcZZTKrGIZRHo2ObqJPpe7YAuKKypDoAjnuMfuoUpUDqlWws7AQzeLWuQLbzdcmORGz7dHy2rYboimysj4SSZN3AftNaOhkd1Z1gvf3DMssEuMQpeL5wQ7WZROueayzMeZe8Q/s1148/image001%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="574" data-original-width="1148" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxKhS9MtmAl48faCUpTerXblFDV6GRk2fSs5x6k8z6WDmKpYX5tScVDLcZZTKrGIZRHo2ObqJPpe7YAuKKypDoAjnuMfuoUpUDqlWws7AQzeLWuQLbzdcmORGz7dHy2rYboimysj4SSZN3AftNaOhkd1Z1gvf3DMssEuMQpeL5wQ7WZROueayzMeZe8Q/w640-h320/image001%20(1).jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Manila, Philippines — Finding the perfect holiday gifts for loved ones can be challenging for some people.

It is as if it is already part of everyone’s daily commodity, even for the kids. As we know it, there are numerous factors that cause stress which vary from each individual. That is why it is important to really identify our own stressors so that we can lessen them if we cannot totally avoid them. Consequently, it is also best if we can find ways to somehow relieve our stress.
For me, I would often relieve my stress by playing online games.

This <a href="https://plays.org/games/">game</a> relieves my stress and helps me improve my typing skills.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Tetra Block</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVGRkyO03nvv6B26phZD6DMCQqtiNbivfROF9slCy_wEEcigdI6GAIUDUrtpHnqcwrXwmRdeyCY5YP3KprUmkjvZ8mK0JRtdO8w_tbeNLTzt_RQXwrbq05v8u2x_DsBWOCROHyvxosuEH3MD4xiCJzF5kWQc_kH0DLCZwjKtzbE4FpXD88SglvW13Lfg/s1275/299055961_3242279712694981_5390908191175435220_n.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="975" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVGRkyO03nvv6B26phZD6DMCQqtiNbivfROF9slCy_wEEcigdI6GAIUDUrtpHnqcwrXwmRdeyCY5YP3KprUmkjvZ8mK0JRtdO8w_tbeNLTzt_RQXwrbq05v8u2x_DsBWOCROHyvxosuEH3MD4xiCJzF5kWQc_kH0DLCZwjKtzbE4FpXD88SglvW13Lfg/w490-h640/299055961_3242279712694981_5390908191175435220_n.png" width="490" /></a></div><p>Another classic in this list is <b>Tetra Blocks</b>. This is inspired by the video game Tetris. Arranging each block somewhat helps me calm down my nerves. This is also nice as I do not need to be wary because I do not have an enemy. I just need to be careful though because one wrong move can lead to a game over.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Classic Solitaire</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh922P7Scpv93rH5oFnvFlXPYMopo8-Aa1aWM4K6mN5RVWBLe_uGo2j7kg6wwEDzQYMV51I8b2uZsNHFF2RxTwjlaiT_-qGEN5fuSK_1B-jF7OXC1a4aaku41CxmKn8Qp5-vBL6kMWskM0IwvbQ2O5Qfk6pIdb9aOvfRQEaVpM-FSJPuOQEJjavIn7UkQ/s975/286474206_3295314877456821_5713066941736633687_n.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="649" data-original-width="975" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh922P7Scpv93rH5oFnvFlXPYMopo8-Aa1aWM4K6mN5RVWBLe_uGo2j7kg6wwEDzQYMV51I8b2uZsNHFF2RxTwjlaiT_-qGEN5fuSK_1B-jF7OXC1a4aaku41CxmKn8Qp5-vBL6kMWskM0IwvbQ2O5Qfk6pIdb9aOvfRQEaVpM-FSJPuOQEJjavIn7UkQ/w640-h426/286474206_3295314877456821_5713066941736633687_n.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><b>Classic Solitaire</b> will definitely be a go-to online game for me to relax and relieve some stress. I usually start by having 3 cards per draw, but as the game progresses and I do not have more moves with the current deck, I would switch to 1 card per draw. Well, some would call it cheating, but I say it’s my strategy (lol).</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Frogtastic</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFEsodSYEn7_ds7TJ2g2_dyLhvXreOt-8xDv0KK3pTVAwP62LXnjsSS3HUauTdPBKvM1jTmlBNi-P8FI-cqUWkzEOYIWqTsqR9wJk7Sp0IXmfEbwnM2iRQUGxKd_sHycXAUGUvCcalj7KoicmDTwFy2Y2zvAFIfbN_V8EO22xY45o5mMHV2-M78ItF7g/s975/298589504_3286810218231882_2161935155387358492_n.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="544" data-original-width="975" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFEsodSYEn7_ds7TJ2g2_dyLhvXreOt-8xDv0KK3pTVAwP62LXnjsSS3HUauTdPBKvM1jTmlBNi-P8FI-cqUWkzEOYIWqTsqR9wJk7Sp0IXmfEbwnM2iRQUGxKd_sHycXAUGUvCcalj7KoicmDTwFy2Y2zvAFIfbN_V8EO22xY45o5mMHV2-M78ItF7g/w640-h358/298589504_3286810218231882_2161935155387358492_n.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>A tile-matching puzzle game inspired by the video game – Zuma. <b>Frogtastic </b>helps me also keep my mind off stress especially when I get to complete each level. Although this is a no-brainer game, you need to find where to shoot the balls as quickly as possible, or else the snake-like ball chain will arrive at the finish line. Then it’s a game-over.</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Daily Word Search</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0qW3nbPh8D7wOQiO41GkQN-y9V5wF2gI8Yy2Ua_ZnEcgtkMULuKIIpjULMq_uTzQkTwWQnWLt2C7yOdDUH3rqhv7lhBu66k4AZ2LALyNOS80ML99IslukDJK1xZ1GIp_lLdOEbXdnYWLTMDZ_5wDXpMcteQIIeXJgQbLl-2DhdrsW5kJtXxxbsH4KIg/s975/298571017_1448085735699058_6315866558499075563_n.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="575" data-original-width="975" height="378" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0qW3nbPh8D7wOQiO41GkQN-y9V5wF2gI8Yy2Ua_ZnEcgtkMULuKIIpjULMq_uTzQkTwWQnWLt2C7yOdDUH3rqhv7lhBu66k4AZ2LALyNOS80ML99IslukDJK1xZ1GIp_lLdOEbXdnYWLTMDZ_5wDXpMcteQIIeXJgQbLl-2DhdrsW5kJtXxxbsH4KIg/w640-h378/298571017_1448085735699058_6315866558499075563_n.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div>What I love about this <b>Daily Word Search</b> is that aside from you can choose your board from 12x12, 14x14, or 16x16, its background music. It’s like Zen music with the sound of water and birds. Aside from having a sort of eye exercise, you’ll get to relax also through the help of the background music. Truly a stress-relieving game.</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Word Guess</h2><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNCKr2F4x8-iYYLEpazONE5LF-Fo87dQvmBAYSLPvp9hUfbqF5VEJRxNA7eat6oi9Yfc3aOCrz1pllZwXiDxHnujWDcldSa8ZjJk2qc3pYh-OtjYuj1afGMK4POzAOU9ByXn-qXFUwGCD2046-WZ0igld3FQWFZ354T3UdidiFuLEzZvq_XRjn86rZAg/s975/301143811_475306241129803_5405248670899891284_n.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="569" data-original-width="975" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNCKr2F4x8-iYYLEpazONE5LF-Fo87dQvmBAYSLPvp9hUfbqF5VEJRxNA7eat6oi9Yfc3aOCrz1pllZwXiDxHnujWDcldSa8ZjJk2qc3pYh-OtjYuj1afGMK4POzAOU9ByXn-qXFUwGCD2046-WZ0igld3FQWFZ354T3UdidiFuLEzZvq_XRjn86rZAg/w640-h374/301143811_475306241129803_5405248670899891284_n.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div>
A wordle-inspired game. <b>Word Guess<u> </u></b>gives you six tries to guess the word that varies from four-letter word to six-letter word. Black letters indicate that the word does not have the letter, orange means the letter is in the word but at the wrong placement, while green signifies that the letter is in the correct place. So you need to be careful in guessing the word while keeping in mind the letters you’ve used because you only have six chances. <div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">On a final note, each of us reacts and responds to stress differently as we have different coping mechanisms. Some do some stress-eating, others shout their lungs out, while some just keep things to themselves. No matter what it is, we need to find a healthy way to relieve our stress before it starts taking a toll on us and eating us from the inside. Of course, if you really need it, do not be afraid to consult professionals to help you out.

However, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has already declared that the Philippines is now in the rainy season. Thus, swimming on the beach or hiking might become extra challenging for students, groups of friends, and/or families who are planning their school break. <div><br /></div><div>Also, there is still the pandemic going on, although the confirmed cases have started to drop for most cities that are now implementing lighter restrictions. However, we do not want another surge to happen.

However, for some buying a house is something that they can have for a sense of stability and pride. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, before you decide whether to rent or buy, you need to consider your budget. Write down your <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-07-05/personal-wealth-ten-simple-money-rules-for-investing-success">financial and saving goals</a> and see if you have enough money for your housing goals. Make sure that you don’t spend all your money on housing alone, but you still have enough to spend for other family needs and save for retirement.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Here are some things to keep in mind as you weigh the benefit of renting against the benefits of owning and see which is a better fit for you.</span></span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Renting a House</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the benefits of renting a house is there are no maintenance costs. Although you may not be able to personalize the house design, your landlord is generally the one who is in charge of repairs. Here in the Philippines, the maintenance costs are shouldered by the landlord and are deducted from the monthly rent. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Moreover, if you are renting a house, down payments are less compared to buying. Most landlords would require a one-month advance pay and a one-month security deposit. These deposits are returned to you when you moved out, provided that you haven’t made major damages to the property you are renting.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you plan to move from one place to another or change jobs in the future, renting is a better option for you as it is easier for you to relocate. However, this would also mean that you can be evicted any time when the landlord decides to sell or use the property. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lastly, if you are renting you will be able to plan your finances wisely as you will only have to pay for a fixed monthly rent. Although your rent might increase the following year, you still have the opportunity to budget your money wisely. </span></p><br /><h2 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Buying a House</span></h2><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Buying a house can be the best investment you can make in your entire lifetime. Although the process of owning one can be challenging, the many benefits you can have can be worthwhile. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When you buy a house, you are building equity for your home and potentially see your home appreciate its value. This means you can increase your personal wealth and use the resources for your other needs.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Moreover, buying a house gives you living security. Compared to renting, you may eventually be evicted by the landlord at any given time, while owning one gives you security because you own the house. Also, you have the freedom to make decisions about the look and design of your living space.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Owning a house comes with a lot of expenses, like mortgage payments and rates, taxes, and many others. However, you can still have control over these expenses by <a href="https://www.mortgagecalculator.uk/">estimating payments</a> of your mortgages as well as other expenses. You may also opt to get a fixed <a href="https://www.mortgagecalculator.uk/overpayment/">home loan</a> so you can manage your finances wisely.</span></p><div><br /></div><h2 style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What’s Best for You?</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The decision is totally up to you.

Ping Lacson:
The most qualified, the most competent, the most experienced candidate.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"></td></tr></tbody></table>Senator Panfilo “Ping” has once again proven he is truly the corruption-buster “Mr. Clean” he is touted to be. In recent articles, the presidential candidate known for his strong anti-corruption stance was recently vindicated for previous crimes he was unjustly accused of during the Arroyo administration. No less than former President Sen. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, in her recently launched memoir entitled “Deus Ex Machina,” admitted that the accusations against Sen Lacson were fake.<div><br /></div><div> “The information that was made public could not be substantiated,” GMA wrote in her memoir. </div><div><br /></div><div> Years later, Marquez recanted accusations against Sen Lacson and apologized. Corpus also issued a publicly televised apology to Lacson for falsely accusing the senator. </div><div><br /></div><div> True to form, the magnanimous Lacson did not hurl vindictive comments against his accusers. Instead, he tweeted a forgiving message to his former detractor. “Late is always better than never. To ex-PGMA’s credit, she has the decency and courage to admit that she publicly and unjustly accused me of various crimes based of false information. Whatever, I have already forgiven her a long time ago.” </div><div><br /></div><div> Even in the thick of the present presidential election, Lacson maintains his nonbelligerent stance, preferring not to say anything about the other candidates wanting to be President of the Philippines because he is also running for the position. </div><div><br /></div><div> In his recent interview session with Boy Abunda for the television personality’s series 2022 Presidential One-on-One Interviews, Lacson, one of five presidential candidates who were invited to the show, chose to talk instead about what made him best suited for the highest position in the Philippines. </div><div><br /></div><div> “I am the most qualified, the most competent, the most experienced (candidate),” he told Abunda matter-of-factly without mentioning any of his rivals. </div><div><br /></div><div> The candidate said it was time for voters to be discerning, to realize that politics was not entertainment and they should not be influenced by dole-outs. </div><div><br /></div><div> In his campaign sorties, a singing and dancing Lacson would certainly not be on the program. “I won’t sacrifice authenticity,” he said, and would not do anything that had nothing to do with the country’s problems. </div><div><br /></div><div> “The number one problem is the government, so the solution is the government- good, honest governance,” he said. </div><div><br /></div><div> Lacson stressed, “Tough problems need tough solutions from the country’s top leaders.” His goal, if elected president, was to leave the country better off than when he started and see a greater respect for government officials. </div><div><br /></div><div> Although he acknowledged that the qualifications for presidential candidates were so much simpler than those required of job applicants, the senator also pointed out that college degrees do not guarantee outstanding public service. </div><div><br /></div><div> “Maraming may PhD na mas magaling magnakaw kaysa magsilbi sa bayan (there are many people with doctoral degrees who are very skilled in stealing public funds than in serving the country),” he said. </div><div><br /></div><div> He would not oppose though some changes in the qualifications, although it would require a constitutional amendment. The job was demanding, he pointed out, and it called for skills in handling crises like the still ongoing corona virus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. </div><div><br /></div><div> Lacson said he would lead by example if he were elected president. He recalled that he was able to minimize graft and corruption in the Philippine National Police when he was its chief by consistently showing he could not be bribed. It was his leadership by example, he said, that drastically reduced, if not totally eliminated, corruption in the police establishment. </div><div><br /></div><div>As a senator, he did not collect the pork barrel, or extra funds allocated to legislators ostensibly to finance pet projects. He was able to save the country millions of pesos by carefully and thoroughly reviewing every proposed annual budget of the government, he said. </div><div><br /></div><div>Lacson would push for digitization and automation in government as president so there would be no human intervention. He said, “Human intervention always resulted in corruption.”
Lacson supported the resumption of mining in the country, “a major industry” of the Philippines, but it should be sustainable and responsible. “It must be data-driven and science-based.” </div><div><br /></div><div>However, he also expressed concern that corruption would create the same problems as before. “Corruption lets violators get away (with their crimes). Palakasan (pull or influence) allowed people with the right connections to do as they please.” </div><div><br /></div><div>Lacson’s vice presidential candidate is Senate President Vicente “Tito” C. Sotto III. </div><div><br /></div><div>For more info on Ping Lacson, follow <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PingLacsonOfficial">https://www.facebook.com/PingLacsonOfficial</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjL-UgxELOOL6aRnD-THpDlTBviJraEwfKz-J0ZjzqQCadcjOIsfjr58r1pRb0I9d8T3cQFUOBWxZdaVgVWa6LGiMpBE7I2mzHVnv8jEJcYPK53oNIZgE2-tFt00NXmUISNone60u-PP5q2VQbropHlwZg0W6fs6NcyFSYy4bJ0A-KI2Bcv05TrsExBA=s1920" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhjL-UgxELOOL6aRnD-THpDlTBviJraEwfKz-J0ZjzqQCadcjOIsfjr58r1pRb0I9d8T3cQFUOBWxZdaVgVWa6LGiMpBE7I2mzHVnv8jEJcYPK53oNIZgE2-tFt00NXmUISNone60u-PP5q2VQbropHlwZg0W6fs6NcyFSYy4bJ0A-KI2Bcv05TrsExBA=w640-h360" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><p align="center" class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-PH" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;">Sen Lacson being interviewed

Teodoro Locsin, Jr. During this address he thanked the co-presenters, the Chinese diplomatic core and the distinguished guests and speakers. He also set the stage of our current COVID-19 situation stating over 4 Million deaths and 186 Million infections and counting globally. “This webinar highlights knowledge sharing as one of if not the most essential form of cooperation in managing COVID-19. The slogan is: No one is safe unless everyone is safe.” he said. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first speaker, Mayor Benjamin Magalong discussed the case study of Baguio City and how it navigated through the pandemic. He discussed how proactive contact tracing efforts and control efforts enabled them to control spreads, something he likened to a Hammer & Dance situation. More importantly, he discussed the importance of the PDITR strategy, which is Prevent, Detect, Isolate, Treat, and Reintegrate strategy. This strategy simple cuts off transmission chain. He added how vital cooperation was to the efficacy of all preventive and control efforts, not only to Baguio City. The implementation of a top-down, side-to-side, and bottom-up approach basically ensures that the paramount objective of having a proper communication and information dissemination to the entire community, involving all sectors of society, is met. Towards the end of his presentation, he touched on the city’s Recovery and Resiliency Plan as well as their goal of becoming a Smart City by 2022. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Secretary Vince Dizon reported on the National Vaccination Program. He thanked the Chinese foreign service representatives for their continuous supplies of Chinese vaccines which to date is still the country’s most largest supplier of COVID-19 Vaccines at 11 million procured doses plus 1 million donated. He had also thanked Philippine Archipelago International Trading Corporation President, Olivia Limpe-Aw, as EUA Holder of Sputnik V Vaccines, for the continuous supply of the vaccine. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Jia Zhenhua then moved on to discussing the utilization of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the prevention and treatment of respiratory infectious disease in China. During his talk, he broke down COVID-19 based on Collateral Disease Theory and discussed how this is treated through the approach of Traditional Chinese medicine. One treatment of note that was mentioned was Lianhua Qingwen capsule, already widely used and distributed in major drugstores in the Philippines. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Academician Zhang Boli, one of the most prominent figures in China’s fight against COVID-19 begins his presentation explaining why COVID, to him, is considered the “Plague of the Century.” He expounded by showing data driven effects and evolution of the virus. After his brief introduction on the effects and symptoms of Covid in China, he stressed how preventive measures were executed. He discussed the importance of early intervention to reduce severe conversion rate and the integration of Chinese and Western medicine with comprehensive rehabilitation treatment such as breathing training, physical therapy, Taichi etc. , psycho-therapy to prevent after effects of the Covid-19 infection such as physical injury (damage to immune function, heart, lung and kidney) and psychological trauma such as insomnia, anxiety and depression. He had also introduced Xuanfei Baidu Decoction, another traditional Chinese medicine widely used in China’s fight against COVID-19. He had earlier stressed the importance of medication. “Quarantine without medicine is only half the success,” he said through an interpreter. Academician Zhang Boli shared how they shared this knowledge with the world through donations of traditional Chinese medicine, Lianhua Qingwen to different countries. Exchange of knowledge (like this webinar) were also done in other countries. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vaccination is very important but even when vaccinated we should not forget the usual daily personal and household prevention measures and emotion management – keep positive, avoid anxiety and have a healthy lifestyle. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Philippine Archipelago International Trading Corporation President, Olivia Limpe-Aw, started to close the webinar by thanking the speakers as well as the Department of Foreign Affairs’ Foreign Service Institute who spearheaded this webinar. She summarized the webinar and drew the conclusion that there are definitely similarities in terms of experiences, government policies and values of both countries. In fact, significant learnings gathered from all panelists cover early intervention, quarantine with medication is key, integration of Chinese and western medicine with rehabilitation treatment all help to increase curative rate and reduce mortality rate. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Learning that there are two other TCM to treat COVID-19 aside from Lianhua Qingwen is something new to us so it has expanded our knowledge on TCM and that there are other options that we hope will be available in the Philippines in the next few months since it looks like COVID-19 isn't going to be over that easily, so we will have to deal with it -manage, mitigate so we can all move on and bring back normalcy to our lives. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This webinar was attended by Ambassadors, local government officials, health officers, hospital administrators, health workers and the media</div>Kagay-anon Onlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05808482837791846068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405915540564889395.post-58473319772762117512021-07-05T18:21:00.007+08:002021-07-05T18:27:35.813+08:00Likayi ang mga Loan Payment Scammers<p>Kinahanglan ka ba mubayad sa imong loan or aduna ka bay transaction na buhaton sa imong bangko?

Webinar<p style="text-align: justify;">“There is no health without mental health.”
This was underscored by Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA) member, Dr. Bernardino A. Vicente, at the fourth TAYO Naman! (Tulong, Alaga, Yakap at Oras para sa mga Tagapagtaguyod ng Edukasyon) session titled “Understanding and Managing Common Mental Disorders and other Psychological Concerns.” This webinar series is organized by Globe and the Department of Education (DepEd). </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cTRsb6aHw80/YOGvhCI6b0I/AAAAAAAAImA/G4Pi8pN0cqsfRrFBJJEriWX49tyyjuZLgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1350/U54_GFT%2BTayo%2BNaman%2BEpisode%2B4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="766" data-original-width="1350" height="364" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cTRsb6aHw80/YOGvhCI6b0I/AAAAAAAAImA/G4Pi8pN0cqsfRrFBJJEriWX49tyyjuZLgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h364/U54_GFT%2BTayo%2BNaman%2BEpisode%2B4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">While people are busy taking care of their physical health to avoid contracting the virus, Dr. Vicente said that many Filipinos suffer from mental health problems, resulting in about a 25.7 percent surge in the country’s suicide incidence in 2020. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">“Mental disorders are not uncommon. It’s like 'yung physical illness natin. COVID-19 does not only cause physical health concerns but also psychological disorders. The pandemic is really stressful to almost everyone and is actually the reason why there is an increase in depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders, including suicide,” he said. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Thus, he reiterated the World Health Organization (WHO)'s statement that mental health and physical health are two inseparable things that one must care about for their own well-being. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Vicente likewise explained that positive mental health promotes a longer life, slows the aging process, and helps provide a better prognosis when illness strikes. Thus, productive activities, fulfilling relationships with other people, the ability to adapt to change, and cope with adversities are vital in keeping a healthy mind. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Stress from the current situation is also a challenge for educators, students, and their parents who have to cope with online learning and new ways of doing things. Time management, physical activities, relaxation training, continued social support and communication, and proper diet and nutrition are some recommended methods to help ease stress. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Having a list of activities or memories that make one happy, and seven to eight hours of sleep are also handy in managing stress and achieving good mental health. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">“In stress management, you cannot manage something that you do not know. So 90 percent of stress management relies on becoming aware of what stresses you. Generally, it may come from you, from your family, or from work. It is not the number of stressors you have, it is the way you carry them,” he added. </p><p style="text-align: justify;"> Another key to prevent or solve mental disorders, aside from medical intervention and a healthy lifestyle, is to understand its concept. Dr. Vicente said to watch out for abnormal psychological and behavioral manifestations with associations of distress and dysfunction, that are recurrent or carried over a sustained period.
Dr. Vicente also underscored that, aside from medical intervention and a healthy lifestyle, an important key to prevent or manage mental disorders is to understand their nature and symptoms. He emphasized the need to watch out for red flags of psychological and behavioral manifestations associated with distress and dysfunction that are recurrent or carried over a sustained period to be able to diagnose if a person has a mental disorder. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The session also included panelists from DepEd Zamboanga del Norte Division, which was the week’s host.

People lost their jobs, some needed to close shop after years of existence, others are barely surviving. Needless to say, numerous people found themselves working double to make up for income losses. Challenging as it may be, there is a silver lining as the situation proves how resiliency will get one by. This story is evident in the world more so in the Philippines. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not only are Filipinos known to be a friendly race; Filipinos are also popularly known to be hardworking. For some reason, the more physical the job, the more effort has to be exerted. Often do we hear the term “Push lang ng push!” Push to keep going, push to finish the task, push not to quit. Pushing the body strength reflects a strong and determined attitude translating that Filipinos will go through great lengths in order to provide for themselves and their families. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With the pandemic, the roster of heroes has evolved from the National Heroes that we know, to the OFWs, and now the Delivery Riders, Service Crew, Medical Front liners, who all spend long hours to cater to the needs of many. And do they deserve the recognition! Real life Lodi! But wait! We can also here them say, “Tao lang po! Kapuy!” </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">No doubt that the challenges faced in the past year have already caused some concerns on one’s health and bodies especially for this type of workers. Imagine traversing the roads all day to get packages from one point to another, standing countless hours to check patients here and there, pushing the body never ends. Body aches and pains are inevitable though often ignored. Inasmuch as the motivation to go on is there, these manifestations of long working hours also take a toll on the bodies to a point that ignoring it no longer becomes an option. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Fortunately, a product that can be brought to work, what can be called a “work buddy”, is available. Naproxen Sodium (Sarimax), from the same makers of Vice Ganda’s endorsement Paracetamol + Propyphenazone + Caffeine (Saridon Triple Action), is ready for the hardworking Filipinos. There is no stopping the hustle because Naproxen Sodium (Sarimax) provides upto 12 hours pain relief from body pain and arthritis vs. plain Ibuprofen and Paracetamol. This will allow long hours of non-stop work required to provide for the family. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Naproxen Sodium (Sarimax) associate marketing manager Toby Manlapat shares, “The effects of the pandemic are making us work doubly harder so becomes even more important to relieve our bodies from aches and pains to go through the daily grind and allow us to be in a good condition to deliver our tasks and provide for the family. Push!” </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Naproxen Sodium (Sarimax) is manufactured by the global pharmaceutical company Bayer. Available in leading drugstores in Luzon (Dagupan and Pampanga), Visayas (Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod), and Mindanao (Davao, Cagayan De Oro, General Santos, Zamboanga).

With 1 in 3 Filipinos currently using the app after growing its user base from just more than 20 million in January 2020 to over 40 million to date, GCash is going beyond just providing seamless and secure transactions through cashless payments. This does not stop the leading mobile wallet to just be still and not look forward to the future. The organization has anchored its thrust towards building robust financial services offerings, extending the app capabilities to fit the lifestyle of its users, empower businesses and entrepreneurs across different enterprise sizes, and anchor the app’s ecosystem, partnerships, and capabilities to be a change agent and to commit to doing its part of nation-building.
<br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With new financial and lifestyle services, GCash now allows its users to shop, save, invest, get insurance coverage, and more -- all within the GCash app. That not only means having a more frictionless user experience and convenience for all, but more importantly, it means that many Filipinos will now have access to services that could help unlock a better everyday, and eventually, a brighter financial future.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--Vk3BngEiL4/YJx9bqXidZI/AAAAAAAAGPQ/5J8BvyBBKDk3vJLN7MRNWorAERr-7wcjwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1920/Martha%2BSazon%2B-%2BPresident%2Band%2BCEO.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="360" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/--Vk3BngEiL4/YJx9bqXidZI/AAAAAAAAGPQ/5J8BvyBBKDk3vJLN7MRNWorAERr-7wcjwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h360/Martha%2BSazon%2B-%2BPresident%2Band%2BCEO.png" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> “We want to make a real difference in the lives of every Filipino and break the existing boundaries to enable financial freedom. We envision a Philippines where people have equal access to financial opportunities and lifestyle choices, where everyone, whether rich or poor, has a chance to unlock and achieve their dreams,” shared Martha Sazon, President and Chief Executive Officer of GCash.
<br /></div><div><br /></div><div> <b>Unlock Your Financial Potential</b>
<br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> GCash continues to stand by its commitment of making finance accessible to all with its 2021 suite of affordable products and services built to kickstart success for everyone.
<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Consumers can now unlock their life goals at any stage with GInvest, the new easy investment feature found in the GCash app that lets you invest for as low as P50 in professionally-managed local and global funds.
<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Amidst the pandemic, those who are looking for affordable coverage can turn to GInsure, where they can get insurance for medical emergencies such as Dengue, COVID-19, and accidents for as low as P300. With this, consumers can also get financial assistance via Cash For Medical Costs and the recently launched Cash For Income Loss due to any cause - all accessible through GInsure within the GCash app.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> For easy money management, GSave is the fully digital, secure, and hassle-free savings account that was built in partnership with CIMB Bank, wherein the only requirement to start is an ID and a smartphone. It’s fully accessible once the account is created; and has no maintaining balance, no fees, and no initial deposit.
<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> As a better alternative to high interest loans and borrowing money for emergencies, GCredit serves as a fully-verified user’s personal credit line within the App, with the ability to provide those with high GScores up to P30,000 credit line and up to 3% prorated interest rate; the earlier the due is paid, the lower the interest rate.

<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> <b>Unlock a new lifestyle with GLife</b>
<br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">With the aim to provide more than just convenience, GLife is an e-commerce feature within the GCash app that now allows users to shop and avail themselves of exclusive deals from a wide array of merchants including GOMO, Gong Cha, Kraver’s, McDonald’s, Puregold and PureGO, Lazada, Recess, Boozy, Bo’s Coffee, Mama Lou’s, GawinPH, KFC, Datablitz, Cherry Shop, Gameone, Goama Games, and more.

<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> <b>Unlock The Entrepreneur in You with GCash QR on Demand</b>
<br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> As part of its mission to help mobilize the economy and support all types of entrepreneurs, GCash introduces GCash QR on Demand: a new and better way to securely send and receive money without having to worry about “wrong sends” due to incorrect numbers, or giving away personal information such as their mobile numbers. Users can easily generate their own Personal QR and use this in place of giving their GCash number, for safe and hassle-free payments whether for personal use or for small businesses.
<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> For fellow Filipinos abroad, GCash intends to aid and empower OFWs to take control of their finances by making the same products and services accessible to them. Every OFW with a verified account can now cash-in to his/her own GCash wallet via international remittance partners, and remit those funds instantly in the app. Through GCash’s upcoming GPadala service, OFWs can also send money to a non-GCash user for cash pick up anywhere in the country.

This includes pursuing efforts beyond business results such as helping make financial literacy and education accessible for all.

It aims to lessen the harm brought by improper disposal of materials, particularly of electronic waste (e-waste). </p><p>More than 100 bins under the Globe E-waste Zero program are now placed in different collection points nationwide such as Globe Stores and malls, which the public can easily access. These bins can accommodate mobile phones, IT accessories such as mouse, earphones, and speakers; Internet and WiFi modems and routers; cable wires, batteries, circuit boards, CDs /DVDs and other small electronic devices. Bigger items such as computer sets, IT servers and electronic network equipment (antennas, transmitters, etc.), and home appliances (washing machine, oven, refrigerator, etc.) may be requested for pick up. </p><p>“Globe recognizes the importance of taking this extra step in ensuring e-wastes are disposed of properly and can't be harmful to the environment. We would like to enjoin our customers to help dispose of e-waste properly,” said Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and SVP for Corporate Communications. </p><p><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-irFCY50HkpU/YE-JKLydspI/AAAAAAAADSQ/-C0K3JCmo7k7_Uh-NHGcicOLgznUeNmLgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1010/120_Ewaste%2BCaloocan%2BCity.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="740" data-original-width="1010" height="468" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-irFCY50HkpU/YE-JKLydspI/AAAAAAAADSQ/-C0K3JCmo7k7_Uh-NHGcicOLgznUeNmLgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h468/120_Ewaste%2BCaloocan%2BCity.png" width="640" /></a></p><p> E-waste is made up of different materials that are toxic and hazardous, making the process of recycling risky for those who are not trained properly and who do not have the necessary facilities to do it. According to the UN Environment Programme, it is estimated that more than 50 million metric tons of e-waste is produced globally per year and its continued importation and increased local generation is a cause for concern. </p><p>Roughly 80% of these e-waste ends up in landfills, pollute the environment and make informal communities susceptible to the hazards of e-waste.
According to a recent study made by UNIDO and EcoWaste Coalition, only 28 out of the 135 registered Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) facilities in the Philippines process e-waste. While the informal sector benefits from these discarded items, their methods of dismantling and recycling e-wastes are unconventional and against approved government standards. </p><p> In response to this, Globe’s e-waste program not only promotes proper disposal but also educates people about the potential harm of e-waste to the environment and the overall benefits of e-waste recycling. Proper e-waste recycling conserves natural resources. Instead of extracting raw materials, valuable materials from old electronics can be turned into new glass, plastic chairs, filament for 3D printing, and reuse the extracted alloys. E-waste recycling avoids unnecessary dumps in landfills. It provides proper handling and management of toxic chemical substances and helps avoid possible leakage especially towards water streams. It also prevents possible health hazards to informal communities living near dumpsites and whose main source of income is the manual processing of these disposed devices. </p><p> In 2020 alone, the program managed to collect and responsibly dispose of over 250,000 kg of e-waste, bringing the total collection to more than 1.4 million kg since 2014. These e-wastes are delivered to Globe’s partner Treatment, Storage, and Disposal (TSD) facilities, namely Total Environment Solutions - Asset Material Management Philippines (TES-AMM) in Pasig City, and Maritrans Recycler, Inc. in Cebu. E-wastes are segregated to recover plastic materials, electronic components, and precious metals but the final recycling process is done in TES-AMM’s facility in Singapore. </p><p>“We are thankful to have partners and contributors, composed of more than 66 corporations, private organizations, NGOs, local government partners and schools nationwide that share Globe’s commitment of building a better and safer world for future generations. We encourage more individuals and organizations to join us in this advocacy. Let us all work together in keeping our planet safe from the harm posed by improper e-waste disposal,” Crisanto added. </p><p> Visit any of the participating Globe stores nationwide or request for free door-to-door pickup of bulky e-waste items. For the list of drop off areas and and bulk hauling requests, check out E-waste Zero on Globe’s sustainability website https://www.globe.com.ph/about-us/sustainability/environment.html </p><p>Globe remains committed to the 10 UN Global Compact principles and contributes to 10 of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals such as UN SDG No. 12 - Sustainable Consumption and Production, which is about achieving economic growth and sustainable development by urgently reducing ecological footprint. It is also about decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation, increasing resource efficiency and promoting sustainable lifestyles by changing the way we produce and consume goods and resources. </p><p>To know more about Globe’s sustainability initiatives, visit h<a href="ttps://www.globe.com.ph/about-us/sustainability.html">ttps://www.globe.com.ph/about-us/sustainability.html</a></p>Kagay-anon Onlinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05808482837791846068noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405915540564889395.post-34098742022042142382021-01-05T09:06:00.000+08:002021-01-05T09:06:31.508+08:00Smart empowers schools in Region 10, providing solutions for online learning<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a9YMrBes8oU/X_O7EULSsCI/AAAAAAAABj4/PC8QtHp09VEOlAh1-8HbEONA1gHUvD6ZACLcBGAsYHQ/s994/Smart%2Bempowers%2Bschools%2Bin%2BRegion%2B10%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="994" data-original-width="956" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-a9YMrBes8oU/X_O7EULSsCI/AAAAAAAABj4/PC8QtHp09VEOlAh1-8HbEONA1gHUvD6ZACLcBGAsYHQ/w385-h400/Smart%2Bempowers%2Bschools%2Bin%2BRegion%2B10%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="385" /></a></div><br /><div>Coping with the demands of education in the new normal has been rough for some educators due to the lack of equipment for the production of modules and connectivity tools for online classes. </div><div><br /></div><div>Smart Communications, Inc.
