Preparing for your future is more than working hard and saving money, getting insurance plays a vital part in it. A lot of Filipinos are still not aware of the importance of getting insurance and even if some are already aware of it, most of them are hesitant about where to start for their insurance. If the knowledge and benefits of insurance are easily accessible to every Filipinos, it would enlighten a lot of us in the importance of insurance and preparing for our future. Cebuana Lhuillier, the country’s largest micro-financial services provider, has introduced a new insurance brokerage company, Cebuana Lhuillier Insurance Brokers, Inc. (CLIB), that aims to help provide Filipinos with better access to more inclusive and affordable insurance products and services.  2018 data from the Insurance Commission reveals that almost 40 million or only 37% of the country’s 105 million total population are covered by insurance.

Water is one of our body's basic need to survive, it is essential for our daily living, not only for our food and drinks but also for sanitation. For these reasons why we need a clean and stable water supply. With the severe water shortage that struck Metro Manila last year, many have been worried and wondered what happened to the water concessionaires that are supposed to be maintaining the water supply in Metro Manila. To explain things further, Maynilad Water Services, Inc. won the bidding by the government to supply water for the West Zone of the Greater Manila Area, while Manila Water is the one supplying for the East Zone. In line with this, I had the opportunity to know where and how the water that is flowing in our faucets is sourced and processed before we can utilize it. To start our trip, we went directly to the source, Angat Dam. The Angat Dam is a multipurpose dam located in Norzagaray, Bulacan. Managed by Angat Hydropower Corporation (AHC), it is used

As early as now, teach your kids about the importance of oral health and how proper brushing of teeth can prevent cavities and tooth decay. Plaque and sweets are a great tandem for tooth decay, and kids love sweets. By lessening them in eating candies and other sweets together with brushing their teeth can reduce the risk of having tooth decay. As parents, we need to set as an example for our kids, especially in taking care of their teeth to allow them to smile confidently, and this will also help them be conscious about their oral health. That is why I always make sure that my daughter also develops this habit, and I support her by giving her a toothpaste that can help her fight cavities. I honestly had a hard time making my daughter brush her teeth, one of her complaints is the flavor of the toothpaste, as mint does not suit her taste. That is the reason why I switched to Hapee Kiddie Toothpaste. Aside from preventing cavity, it allows kids to enjoy brushing their teeth

We happened to drop by Vista Mall Global South inC-5, Las Piñas and we just discovered this new korean-Japanese restaurant that serves unlimited yakiniku with 19 side dishes and 13 grilling meats for a fair price of 549 PHP, approx $10. Since the place seemed to be open just recently it was not crowded yet, you can pretty much appreciate the ambiance of the restaurant. The staff prepared our table and gave us a brief description of what they serve, which is pretty great, he also introduced us to their ordering system which you did not need to raise your hand to ask for another set of pork or beef strips and you'll just need few taps on their on the table touch screen ordering system ( seems too flashy name) since I don't know what it's called, but it was great since you did not need to call their attention for additional drinks, meat, dessert, you can even ask to change the charcoal with just fee taps. They served 4 variants of their meat at first

            After the holiday season, one of the things that may have hit your wallet hard is your electricity bill., the aftermath of those parties and holiday lights that made the celebration memorable and fun. You can only wish that you can get a discount on your electricity bill. You don't need to wish for it since there is great news for us consumers! For the second month in a row, the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) announced a decrease in power rates for February. The overall rate for a typical household consuming 200kWh decreased by P0.59 to P8.86 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), its lowest level in two years, from last month’s P9.45 per kWh. Such a household will see a decrease of around P118 for their total electricity bill this month.

The back-to-back rate decreases to start the year total to P1.00 per kWh and goe
