A panel discussion titled \u201cPAANO BA AKO MAG-START MAG-IPON? Start Saving So You Can Start Investing\u201d during the Philippine Property and Investment Exhibition (PPIE) revealed how some of the Filipino influencers in the UAE save and what are their thoughts on investing.<\/p>\n

Moderated by Vince Ang, COO of New Perspective Media, the panel included Dan Lester Dabon, a Multi-Awarded Healthcare Professional, Jay Adrian Tolentino, a Financial Coach, Mico Banua, a Food Guide & Blogger, and Em Serrano, a Food and Lifestyle Blogger.<\/p>\n

Dan Lester Dabon shared that throughout his journey as an OFW, he was always encouraged by the hardships that he went through since childhood.<\/p>\n

He shared that his investments are all products of the habit of saving and forward thinking.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to think forward lalo na sa mga risks kung ano na yung mga mangyayari,\u201d said Dabon.<\/p>\n

Dabon also encouraged viewers to invest in one\u2019s skills and knowledge which can help them earn more, save and invest more.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For Jay Tolentino, any one who is interested in saving or investing must first know what is their purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a deep questioning in yourself why you\u2019re doing this and who are you doing it for?,\u201d said Tolentino.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I meet people, I have to sit down and really ask why they want to invest in this money. Is it an investment of love or is it an economical investment? \u2018Pag hindi clear sa\u2019yo ang purpose, there are tendencies na when something new comes around with higher earning, you will withdraw your investment. It\u2019s really important for you to know your why and identify your purpose,\u201d said Tolentino.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For Food and lifestyle blogger Em Serrano shared that she realized the value during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoon ko na realize ang importance ng savings kasi ang school po ang unang nagsare, so 6 months wala kaming sweldo noon,\u201d shared Serrano.<\/p>\n

Serrano said that she is also a firm believer of the concept of value for money and moderation.<\/p>\n

\u201cPag nagba-blog ako, pag may mura, doon tayo bumili. Para yung sobra, pwede mo pang maitabi. Okay lang gumastos sa pagkain pero wag masyado sa material things. Kung may bagong labas na cellphone, mas gugustuhin ko syang i-save sa bangko para may pang-invest ako sa business,\u201d said Serrano.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Similarly, Mico Banua shared that it\u2019s all a matter of goal-setting.<\/p>\n

\u201cKnow your goal. Bakit ka mag-i-invest. Kapag hindi kasi strong yung purpose mo, walang value yung gagawin mo. Masasayang lang \u2018yung pera mo. So for me, it\u2019s important na mag goal set ka,\u201d said Banua.<\/p>\n

Banua shared that as a freelancer, he uses this to motivate himself to grow his earnings at the end of every month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always set a goal. For the first week of the month, I check my clients and may specific goal dapat. Hindi ka magiging complacent. My initial goal is dapat ma-compensate yung sahod ko, pero habang tumatagal, dapat nag-i-increase na rin yung target, gradually,\u201d said Banua.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

He encouraged the audience to compete with oneself in achieving more.<\/p>\n

The discussion ended with their key takeaway being having a clear vision of what or how much you want to save and knowing why or to whom are you saving for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
