My metrobank was hacked and my reserve claim was denied!

I could not believe my eyes! My request for dispute has been denied!
To make the long story short, about a month ago, my metrobank account was hacked, I have been a victim of a phising scam yes but one that was brought about by a text coming from Metrobank's official SMS number. This was the same number that texts me for updates and posted about my transactions and OTPs! I would have no reason not to trust it because the sms came from their official system. Assuming this, I calmly requested for reversal and waited patiently for the decision, only to find out that they denied my claim! How can they be so cruel and heartless! But alas they are, they really are. All I can do now is to warn as many people as I can about what happened to me because Metrobank is a callous heartless bank who would not care if your money got stolen from their bank. No to Metrobank!
If I were you, leave this bank now. Pull out your money and put it somewhere safe.
Beware of of Metrobank!

Retirement in the Philippines: Going against the grain

I started to think about retirement at age 36. I don't know why but it was then that I realized that despite my good prospects for promotion in the near future and my steady stream of income from the investments that we were making, I just knew then that I needed to start my journey to financial stability and security. My son and my youngest was less than a year old then. I computed in my mind that when he reached college at 18 years old, I would be around 55 years old by then. I was unsure what I'd be by then. Would I still be healthy enough to work? Would we have enough savings to make sure that he has money for a decent college to go to? Would he be intelligent enough to make it to UP to enjoy free tuition? It was unsettling. I felt I had to do something. And so I realized that I wasn't even talking about retirement. I was just thinking about Sam's college really. So it was then that I made my big leap to get a VUL. I did not know much about it then bu

What makes a good Financial Advisor?

If you're my age, you've more likely come across an Insurance Agent or Financial Advisor from among the popular insurance companies in the Philippines. Most of them claim to be able to advise you on investment portfolios that you may want to buy or avail for yourself. They would often ask you first about your investment capacity or the amount that you are willing to invest whether monthly or one-time and then move into presenting you a proposal based on that alone. Based on my experience on investments, the best kind of advisors are those that are concerned with the end goal rather than what you'd like to give up from your disposable income. Normally, when you ask people about how much they would like to invest, they would normally just let you know how much extra extra money they have or what they usually have left after a payroll cutoff. If you let people do that, chances are you'd end up getting lose changes as investment funds. There lies the disconnect usual

Investing in real estate in the time of COVID

Investing in real estate (condo and house and lot) in the time of COVID As a real estate researcher, I've read and navigated through a lot of information and data to analyze and provide insights to our company leaders about industry trends. Off work, many of my friends also ask me for advise when it comes to decisions about real estate. To buy or not to buy this property, to sell or not to sell at this price, to rent out long or short term, house and lot or condo , and other related queries about what to do with their money and property. I almost always suggest to keep it simple and logical. If it does not add up and you have an inch of a doubt about it, then don't do it. However, there are also signals that should not be ignored. This is especially true in periods when demand presets supply. The worst case scenario for a buyer/investor is to see a property be sold out just when you've decided to buy it and then see it appreciate exponentiall
