Many may be joining the job market fresh from school. Many may have unfortunately been the victims of job cuts and are now looking for new work. In either …
Feeling Worse and Christmas Spending
If you feel that you’re worse off this year, don’t be hard on yourself — you’re not alone. More Filipinos feel that they are worse off now than last year, and, worse (pun intended), a higher percentage thinks most Filipinos are “losers” now compared to a year ago. This is part of the study result …
Will you try your Luck in Gambling?
Just recently, a huge pay-out came the way of a 22-year-old college dropout from Denmark, Peter Eastgate. He vanquished opponents in the World Series of Poker, winning US$9.15 million. The second-placer, Ivan Demidov, got US5.8 million. Not too bad, huh?

Negosyo: Sagot sa Kahirapan?
We’ve previously noted this tagline – “negosyo, ang sagot sa kahirapan.” Business is the answer to poverty (or maybe there’s another translation).
