BELA PADILLA: Personally Distributed Food to Our Kababayans

Bela Padilla is beautiful inside and out.  She raised Php3.3 Million in just two days to help aid our displaced street vendors , front liners and military.

Bela Padilla followed Community quarantine and isolated herself but got heartbroken when she read on social media the state of some of our fellow Filipinos because of the lockdown due to COVID-19 virus that affected the whole wide world including the Philippines.

She risked exposure to Corona virus by personally distributing the food packs they prepared. But you can see the happiness that radiates in her eyes. Genuine and kind I would again ask you this question: Bela, what it is that you cannot do?

Krista Elyse Hidalgo Carino Sullivan, better known by her stage name Bela Padilla, is a Filipino actress, film producer, screenwriter, occasional host, and model.

Mabuhay ka Bela!

Boracay Bliss: A Sun Villa Beachfront Resort Getaway

Hey everyone! We love Boracay! Boracay, Philippines beaches were pristine, tans were golden, and worries seemed to melt away like ice cream on a hot day. Buckle up, because we're visiting our incredible Boracay getaway from February 26 to 28, 2020!

Our home base for this mini-adventure was the Sun Villa Beachfront Resort located at Station 1 in Boracay.  

Let our travelonshoestring team tell you, this place was paradise found. Stepping out of our room, the sound of crashing waves and the salty breeze instantly put us in vacation mode. The beach was just a few steps away, perfect for morning walks with the soft sand between my toes and the calming sound of the ocean.

The budget hotel is located in the very ideal location of Station one and very near D'mall of station two.

It is just a stone throw away from the white sand beach of Boracay. We spent our days soaking up the sun, swimming in the crystal-clear waters, and trying out all the fun water activities Boracay has to offer.

Of course, no Boracay trip is complete without indulging in the local cuisine. We feasted on fresh seafood dishes, tried our hand at the local dishes, and sipped on refreshing mango shake while watching the sunset paint the sky in a million colors.

This Boracay trip was an unforgettable experience. Sun Villa Beachfront Resort provided the perfect setting for relaxation and adventure.

P.S. Boracay'sbmagic is still there. Always be a responsible tourist and help preserve the beauty of this island paradise!

PAPA PIOLO PASCUAL'S MONEY TIPS

"Lack of money, being broke, and constant worry over how to pay the bills does indeed put significant stress on both relationships and happiness. Lack of money can easily end both".

Overseas Filipinos can learn a thing or two or even more from our kabayan Papa P or Piolo Pascual. Everyone knows that he is very smart when it comes to money matters.

BDO Remit brand ambassador Piolo Pascual is very proud of his life as an Overseas Filipino (OF). While it was very challenging, he said his life abroad was full of valuable lessons, which helped him achieve financial freedom.

People may not know that Piolo temporarily left showbiz at age 19 to join his mom and other siblings in California, USA. There, he juggled two jobs, working as a hospital staff during the day and as a security guard in downtown Los Angeles at night. He was working almost 16 hours a day, only to make ends meet.

“It was hard at first because I was blocked out of the life that I had here. I was already an actor back then living a different lifestyle. When I migrated to the US, I had to start from scratch. I had to work right away or else I wouldn’t have any food on the table,” he said of his early struggles.

“My sister and I were just renting a place. My mom, who lives in the same community, would drop by once in a while to give us food. But even so, we still had to fend for ourselves. I had two jobs because my salary was not enough to pay for my insurance, my car, my rental, my food, and allowance,” Piolo added. 

Two years after moving to the states, he decided to go back home. He wanted to give acting another try. While his years as an OF didn’t last long, he credits much of his success to the valuable lessons he learned while living and working abroad. 

“I wouldn’t be what I am today if it weren’t for the hardships I went thru as an OF. I learned to work very hard to be able to pay for things but at the same time, I learned not to spend beyond my means. It really takes discipline to be practical and not buy things that you really do not need,” he said. 

Piolo did not only work hard to earn his keep, he worked doubly hard to protect it. He shared he remains a very practical person, who would rather spend on things that would bring in returns, than on material possessions.

More importantly, he learned that part of protecting your hard-earned money is choosing the right remittance partner, one that not only promises convenience but security as well. 

“My mom was already in the US when we were growing up. At that time, it was so hard for us to get money from her for our schooling. We would then go to an agency, which would charge us with all sorts of fees. BDO really changed the landscape of remittance. They made it easy for Filipinos overseas to send money to their loved ones,” he said. 

As a former OF, Piolo said he knows how much our kababayans abroad sacrifice just to be able to provide for their families back home and so he cautions OFs against sending money to just any remittance agency especially those they just happen to see online.  

“You are entrusting your hard-earned money to others. Always go for someone who is trustworthy, who has a track record, and who has been there for a long time. The last thing that you want to happen is for your money not to reach your loved ones. That’s why I always choose BDO. With BDO, you are confident that your money will be safely remitted to your loved ones back home,” he said.

ZION TRADING : E-commerce Nuggets of Gold

E-commerce has evolved into one of the biggest and most coveted industries ever known. The art of procuring things – that comes from an unknown source that was never accounted for – is now over and it has changed into the art of buying from home, using your very own smartphone to purchase goods worth millions.

If you want to earn money and save for your future. Then you must do an online business. 

E-Commerce is the "in thing" nowadays. Almost every establishments in the Philippines has their own e-commerce website. It is primarily because almost everyone are into gadgets and has access to internet since the government approved the free public wifi in every municipality. Yes, even those far-flung baranggays are now online. Less carbon footprint ❤️. Iwas traffic pa! 

Doing traditional business has many disadvantages thats why businesses are going online to thrive.  Online business is really something you should consider. The vast world of e-commerce has a lot of potential in the field of food, clothing, services, anything you can sell legally. 

People who are successful in business especially in e-commerce need a certain kind of drive. But for people who have been selling online for years and are jaded or for people who are just starting out, the key word is claiming or reclaiming your MOJO. For those of you who do not know what mojo is, according to the Urban Dictionary, it means "personal confidence and charisma". Mojo also means magic or charm and that is what success in eCommerce takes, but in order to exude confidence and charisma and give your products a magical allure and charm, you need motivation! That is why each and everyone of us should meet the team behind Zion Trading! Why? Because they're very passionate about empowering people.

Ms. Fostine Margaux Tapiador, founder of the new Christian-owned E-commerce company, Zion Trading, saw an opportunity to spread the good news and share the blessing and wonders of Electronic Commerce or Online business to people. It is a multi-Billion dollar earning opportunity business that paved the way from its pioneers such as EBAY, AMAZON.COM of the American spheres, ALIBABA of China and also some famous online e-commerce sites here in the Philippines such as Shopee, Lazada, Zalora and many more.

About ZION TRADING & E-COMMERCE BUSINESS SOLUTION 

Zion is derived from the scriptures which represents the City of Jerusalem among the Jews with a promise of restoration from loss and devastation of their lives and country. It also connotes the mountain of God among the Judeo-Christian Faith of a better state enjoying God’s abundance, protection and assurance of salvation. This was the inspiration of the founder and young CEO-President Ms. Fostine Margaux Tapiador fondly known as Charmie to her closest to start her own company.

Registered officially as a Corporation last September 2019, ZION TRADING & E-COMMERCE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS was created from the success of its founder Charmi, who also wanted to share the breakthrough business by mentoring-coaching and training who would sign up and subscribe to the platform.

Richard Gabriel Bonifacio, the COO-GM of Zion, said that E Commerce is the “Great Equalizer” to do business nowadays. After discovering and trying the revolutionary business where he earned six-figure income, he quit his job, continued to do E-Commerce at his pace and convenience which gave him the liberty to spend more quality time with his family.

Last but definitely not the least, known in the circle of MLM-Network Marketing Industry and being a consistent leader-achiever, “Jojo” Toress, the Chief Marketing and Sales Officer of. Zion has a change of heart. From a “green card holder”, he almost settled in the US. But after being persuaded by Charmi to join her in setting up Zion, he decided to stay for good and they joined forcer in empowering many people through this revolutionary business. Jojo resolved to himself that this is the right business and company for him and surrendering his green card are all worth the risk, as he sees bigger vision with Zion.

ZION TRADING & E-COMMERCE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS’ grand launch is set on January 25, 2020.
