DITO Mobile Offers Postpaid FLEXPlans
Saturday, July 20, 2024
Looks like DITO Mobile is aggressively taking on mobile networks as they offer new prepaid offers through their new FLEXPlans, but made more affordable with different options.
SIM Only or with a Phone
FLEXPlan 388 for example is a SIM Only plan so if you have an existing phone, you can just get the sim. This would make you save because you don't have to shell out money for the monthly payment of a handset. Although with DITO, you can get the handsets in affordable terms too. Either or, you get Unlimited 5G data connection or set data packages from authorized stores nationwide.
You can also opt for premium handsets if you prefer one, to each his own. Here's a preview on my IG reel.
Now if you're looking for DITO offers, you know where to go. Follow DITOPHOfficial on social channels.
SMART Signature Sim Only Plans with Netflix Now Available
Thursday, February 04, 2021
Still making it easier for you is Smart. Now they have new SIM only Smart Signature plans which also comes with its own Netflix subscription, now that's amazing! In huge festivities a few days ago, they were as excited as I am in taking postpaid plans more affordable and feature packed so more Filipinos can get connected.
You see, without the phone packages, customers can now get those valuable Smart numbers without worrying about the phone payment and settle with good phones you own now. I also enjoy the convenience of paying at a later date. What's new you say? It comes with Netflix too, so those original shows which you can only see on the app is now within reach. If you're a fan of Crash Landing On You, Money Heist, Stranger Things, The Umbrella Academy, Extraction, Bridgerton, Kingdom, The Crown or just about any hit show/movie there is in the US, Philippines or elsewhere in the world, you can access it now through streaming because of this. I've seen a plan as low as Php 999 a month but there's definitely more of it on www.smart.com.ph/signature.
With the Filipinos consuming a lot of data with streaming services, this is indeed welcome news. If it's already included in the plan, you can easily budget your data and never have to go out of your homes anymore just to buy a card or use apps for it. I've dreaded that part in the past, and now, consumers have more choices so it would fit their lifestyle. You can also use the GIGA Life app so you can monitor your usage and never see shocking bills for things you don't even use. You can get it by booking online or face to face appointment. Now that's convenient!
Go get those Netflix plans, it'll be fun to binge watch more with Smart Signature!

It's true! and it's coming to Smart stores pretty soon. LANY already has been using it in different instances and swear by its performance, there's no reason not to have it even now.
The new Vivo V20 Pro is 5G capable. It is the thinnest smartphone of its class in the market. It is also lightweight, very fancy looking, but don't be fooled because this also is a beast with a 44 MP front selfie camera and utilizes Eye Auto Focus technology (to prevent those blurred moments). It also has a 64MP rear camera that can take those landscape photos, product shots with ease. This makes you just stand out from the rest of the pack, you can #BeTheFocus.

You can get it by paying an initial cash-out of Php 3,710 and add Php 200 on top of your monthly bill, or if you prefer, you can pay for it with Php 8,300 outright, so it's really flexible terms. For Smart Postpaid subscribers, you may renew your plan and get this for Php 179 on top of your monthly bill.

Married Guy Matteo Guidicelli Swears By Newlywed Starter Pack of Sun Life
Friday, November 20, 2020
![]() |
| Matteo was so fine during our Zoom meeting, telling us about his Sun Life journey now that he's married to Sarah Geronimo. |
Matteo just got married, and yes, he's got plans for that. He's getting it from Sun Life too and calls it the Newly Wed Bundle. We talked about it over a Zoom meeting this evening and it was nice to see the man again after a few months of not seeing each other (feeling close lol).
Did things change?
Matte says "Yes, as I'm budgeting for two people already and you are thinking about beds, your household staff and I enjoy it every single day. I enjoy every moment with my wife. Trust is very important and I think you and your partner should never hide anything, so you become better people together. When I go to work today, it is for my family and my future. My wife is my priority, it is important to have that mindset when you're starting, to be transparent and to start saving right away. To have an investment portfolio with Sun Life, you can discuss that perfectly for your needs."
What do they splurge on?
"We did buy a huge TV, I'll have that on my Youtube video this week. We've been also good plantitos and plantitas. We splurge on plants these days."
How do they spend?
A good balance is important. To make your wife happy is also important, but of course common sense, not OA, a balance with each other. We tell each other if we need it or not. We always put each other in reality.
Kilig
Every single day of being boyfriend and girlfriend, to realize and breathe see that we are husband and wife, working together, it puts a smile on my face seeing that.
Being in Sun Life
Working with them for 5 or 6 years, they educated me that the earlier possible time to invest, the better. If I invested a couple of years ago, it would have been very big. Save a lot, invest, your money will grow.
Len Arboleda of Sun Life says "Matt really practices it. It really a lifetime partnership with Sun Life and we have seen that through the years where he's been with us."
Budgeting
I think it's very important for us to always talk about our finances. Investing wise, we have to make sure we do it with good companies, not to scammers, to do it with a legit company and telling your advisor what you want to achieve.
9 Months with Sarah
It's a blessing, to find someone like her, I am very thankful. Sarah is very talented in baking too, if ever it begins like a business, please buy one ha!
Having Kids
Pray for it next week. We don't know yet, we're not rushing but in God's time it will happen. Diko pa alam how much, the more the merrier!
With Sun Life you feel secure, it's very important. You can start with 5,000 pesos and it will earn in the next few years. When you have kids, you have a fund for them, so we do invest in the right things.
Business
The restaurant is okay. I had two branches so it is challenging. I had to find ways to make it well, we're not doing great but we are surviving because there are people going to our restaurants still.
Do it with passion, do it with love, focus on the things we love doing. We want money to grow, invest, be smart on how you do things and do it with passion. There are great companies out there but I chose Sun Life. My Dad showed me things by example so he didn't have to sit me down and plan things.
Church Wedding
Baka, when the time is right. I hope a vaccine arrives so we can do it. I really hope so.
Bashers
These rescuers and government workers, they are just there for the service of the Filipino people. To receive criticism despite doing their jobs, I don't feel bad, I feel good for what they do, I feel bad with the people who don't understand what it feels to be there. They deserve so much credits.
Newly Wed Bundle (What does the newly wed bundle have? What do you like about it?)
The starter pack is for individuals, each one should be covered. You have to have a separate one for yourself and your wife.
You seem to always have a plan, how do you keep yourself be random, like not everything is planned/ becominng spontaneous.
"I think that is very important with me and Sarah. Yes I have a plan for everything but I do make an effort to do things that are random, thanks for reminding me to do that."
This is not a perfect world. What mistakes have you had in the past and what have you learned from them?
Yes I have had mistakes, nothing in particular but I always make it a point to not do it again in case I get to encounter problems like them again. I learn from them, I think that is important.
Having passion and starting a ton of businesses is hard but when it works, you'll reap a lot of benefits. Work with trusted partners, work with the honest ones and enjoy it. Matteo is a good example of it and he's been doing it with Sun Life for a couple of years, maybe it's time you talk to them via bit.ly/advisormatch or their website sunlife.com.ph or the official Sun Life Philippines Facebook page. Oh by the way, Matteo is also going to be on an I Feel U Christmas Special on December 6, and Masked Singer Pilipinas every Saturday on TV5. See him there!

Four Basic Bakery Business Plans
Monday, April 25, 2016
When it comes to starting a successful bakery, the plan is everything. The first part of the plan must include deciding the type of bakery to open. In order to do this an individual must look at what their financial goals are with the bakery, what type of items they bake, and how much money they have at their disposal to start their bakery.
Armed with this information, a person will have to decide if they want to start one of the following four types of bakeries:
The first type is a bakery that operates primarily online. The benefit of this is that there is no storefront for the bakery. There is no rental of a bakery space. Starting on online with just a few pictures of the items you have baked on a website is a great way to start and run a bakery from home.
The second bakery option is a customer service bakery. Customers can come up to a bakery window, order what they want, and go about their day. However, this bakery does not have seats for the customers to sit in.
The third option is a specialty service. A specialty service is where you decide that you are only going to make a certain type of baked good, but you make it better than anyone else. These types of businesses can be run from home, or a person may opt to rent the space for their specialty bakery.
The final option is a sit down bakery. This is more complicated and it requires renting or buying baking equipment, including large ovens, bakery trays equipped with bakery casters, tables, chairs, and a whole host of other appliances that are needed to provide drinks and other services to your customers.
Being able to bake delicious food is a gift that not everyone has. This gift can be turned into a awesome business that can have a positive impact on a person’s life. All that it requires is a little fortitude and a good plan.
