Double your money with AMA Bank

Just recently, I posted the time deposit rates for AMA Bank’s Premium Savings Account. Searching its website, I saw that it is also offering a double-your-money (DYM) program for depositors.

 

But do check with AMA Bank first before placing your money. Remember that, first and foremost, it is your responsibility to ensure that your money is safe and sound.

I saw this published in the July 28, 2009 issue of Philippine Star. This is the time deposit table for AMA Bank’s (AMA Rural Bank of Mandaluyong, Inc.) Prime Savings Account (PSA).

Pay your PhilHealth premiums via text

I read in today’s Philippine Star that PhilHealth members can now pay their premiums via text.

According to the photo, individual-paying members of PhilHealth will soon enjoy the convenience of paying their monthly premium contributions via text messaging. This new facility is a joint project of PhilHealth and E-Soluzione, Inc.

We hope to get more information about this. We’ll keep you posted

eBay Ph’s Scam Patrol

Although eBay is still the best auction site in the Philippines, eBay is still in its infancy stage here and more safeguards must be implemented to protect its members. Every time I visit eBay’s discussion board, I’m disheartened to find threads, where eBay members ask for help or ranting about being scammed.

A few months back, I posted an entry about the 13 red flags of a fraudulent eBay transaction. Courtesy of eBay members jenny_lake and silverstrad, they listed down possible red flags that eBay members should know.

Now, there’s a new thread in eBay’s discussion board, courtesy of vigilant eBay members and spearheaded by hananim012. You will find a discussion of auction postings that are potentially fraudulent.

I encourage everyone to regularly visit the Scam Patrol thread to ensure that you are entering into a legitimate transaction. And if you see fraudulent listings in eBay, please do your part and share it with the rest of the eBay Ph community. Every voice counts.

Side Topic: Register and Vote

Less than a year to go and it will be the 2010 elections. You may have complaints about the current administration and so 2010 is a great time to exercise your right and let your voice be heard.

Are you a registered voter? If you’re not sure if your name is still included in the list of voters of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), you can check their website and see for yourself. Just click the Precinct Finder link, type in your name and see if you’re still an active voter. I tried it myself and saw that I’m still active.
