Here’s an infographic we shared with our partner, Lenddo, about the realities of playing a Lotto Game and the ACTUAL COST SOME FILIPINOS THROWING AWAY if they still continue to do it.

My wife, Mary Ann, was asked the following question:
Dear Mrs. Colayco
Is there any other government institution where I can borrow money for tuition fee/s of my dependent/s?
I am still paying for both my SSS and Pag-Ibig loans.
I don’t have a credit card. Please help me.
Thank you.
Thank you.
—Amy
Here’s her response:
Right now, the SSS and Pag-ibig loans that you borrowed are still outstanding. You have to keep paying those loans because SSS and Pag-ibig are very good sources of credit and you want to keep your credit reputation good.
It is good that you do not have a credit card because you will just end up having a credit card debt that has the highest interest rate among the formal debts available. Do not be tempted to get any credit card that is being offered to you. You may have temporary cash available because of the card but that is only for one month or even less. Then, you will have a lot of tears over many years of credit card problem.

Most people are afraid of numbers. Whenever they see one, they cannot help but be dumbfounded.
On the contrary, NUMBERS CAN BE FUN! In fact, YOU CAN EVEN PLAY WITH THEM.
Let Colayco Foundation’s Armand Bengco and Art Ladaga SHOW YOU HOW!

SON: “Daddy, may I ask you a question?”DAD: “Are you asleep, son?”
SON: “No daddy, I’m awake”.
DAD: “I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $50 you asked for.”
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: “Oh, thank you daddy!”
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
DAD: “Why do you want more money if you already have some?”
SON: “Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do.
“Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It’s just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love? If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.
Some things are more important.
