Will be checking back in regularly to read your musings. It is very important to give proper attribution within the article as well as in the footnotes. You know, as a writer, a lot of people copy my articles and I mean lifting everything from the title to the last period. I have grown tired of teaching that real writers are not afraid to attribute anything to other fellow writers. But while I have stopped calling other bloggers' attention to that, proper attribution has remained as one of my personal yardsticks for good writing. Regards. Thanks for the mention, Fitz.

My 2nd time to check you website. Filipino families should start saving and increase their savings at any rate. I believe that we, Filipinos, need to spend time studying our finances carefully. Yeah! DepEd should include subjects such as finance in elementary and highschool. So as with CHED for college students. Something that should be given attention to is investment instrument/s most Filipinos are using. More power to you Fitz! Nice post! My 2nd time to check you website.

Change is always possible if we start within ourselves. @issa Thanks for the compliment. I think DECS should seriously consider including Personal Finance as a subject in school. A friend of mine who worked there already proposed the idea years back, it was not really given consideration (too bad). In any case, I believe that it's also important for parents to teach their kids about money as early as possible. @guardian angel

Most Filipinos do not know how to handle money properly. Unfortunately, some of us sacrifice themselves and leave their families here just to earn good money. While the government is trying to help the masses to save by removing their taxes, it is not sufficient enough because what we really need is financial education. Fiipinos are good earners, talented and world class workers but only a few of us are good businessmen. We are always searching for a superhero who can help us but we do not realize we are that superhero inside ourselves. Thanks. Very true, Fitz. Most Filipinos do not know how to handle money properly.
