In the real world, availing loans is sometimes inevitable. Financial problems often come unannounced and if you do not have enough savings, you most probably end up getting a loan from a friend, a loan company or a bank. Many overseas Filipino workers (OFW), for example, avail loans specifically designed for people working abroad and seafarers. https://www.jbsolis.com/2019/02/move-to-these-places-and-get-paid-if.html Ads In the society we live in, applying for a loan correlates to debt. In reality, loans actually help people build and establish a credit history to which banking and finance companies refer. In applying for a loan, whether from a loan company or from a bank, having a good credit history helps you to be approved quickly. However, there are many types of loans designed for specific needs. Terms and conditions in each type are also different. In this article, we will break down for you the types of loans and help you decide which ones do you need. OFW loan – OFW loans work similarly as personal loans but are specifically offered to overseas Filipino workers with valid contracts. A co-borrower or immediate relative based in the Philippines is required. It usually has flexible payment terms to accommodate the specific needs of OFWs and their families. Personal loan – Personal loans are usually unsecured loans, which means it’s based purely on an individual’s credit score and does not require any collateral, unlike secured loans. The interest rates may range from 1.2 percent to 8 percent, depending on the financial institution. Payment terms are typically shorter, from six to 60 months. Car loan – Car loans are for people who don’t have enough cash to shoulder the full purchase of a vehicle. It has flexible payment terms of three to five years. To apply for a car loan, simply submit valid IDs and proof of income to get pre-approved. It may be required to have the down payment for the car to get approved. Business loan – Business loans can be used for a new business or the expansion of an existing one. Examples are line credit, equipment loan, and conventional business loan. Terms depend on the nature of the business and the agreement between the borrower and the lender. Home loan – Housing loan interest rates are decided between the borrower and the financial institution, with payment terms ranging from five to 30 years. The lender maintains property rights as collateral, and an appraisal fee typically applies. Credit cards or cash advances – Cash advances are short-term loans with higher interest rates and are typically paid for the following month. Some credit card companies offer longer terms, from three to 12 months. The amount a person can borrow depends on their credit limit.

The Promise of Universal Health Care in the Philippines
President Duterte has certified the Universal Health Coverage measure as urgent. This promises to usher in better health and free hospital coverage for Filipinos. The Philippines currently has a hybrid healthcare system called Philhealth, where the government entity under the National Health Insurance Program gives out medical insurance for medical coverage. The current system does not cover all Filipinos. Coverage depends on several factors including economic status. A proposed law in the Senate aims to enhance and rename the National Health Insurance Program, established by Republic Act 7875 or the National Health Insurance Act of 2013, into the National Health Security Program, as a mechanism for citizens to gain financial access to health services. This will reorganize the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) into the Philippine Health Security Corporation, which will serve as the national purchaser of health services. The House of Representatives already passed House Bill 5784, also known as the “Universal Health Coverage Act.” Three versions in the Senate have also been passed: Senate Bills 1458, 1673, and 1714. If all goes well, we could very well see the first steps toward Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by next year, with several key components up and running by the end of the Duterte administration. So what is the promise of UHC for Filipinos? The new proposal aims to fill in the many health care gaps in the current system. A large portion of the population remains uncovered in PhilHealth. UHC proposes the automatic inclusion of every Filipino into the National Health Security Program. Many medical services are not available or covered in the current insurance packages. Under UHC, all medical services are considered covered by default, unless specified otherwise. Only selected procedures will not be included. Additionally, the level of coverage provided in the current system is not always sufficient to cover the medical expense of some major health care cases. UHC reorients the health system toward primary care and service delivery networks. Every Filipino will be assigned a primary care provider, who serves as the first point of contact in the health system and addresses general health needs. It also proposes to vastly expand the financing of health services. Once enacted into law, the UHC will guarantee the right to health by providing primary care to all Filipinos including free medicine for all.

Visa-free entry for Filipinos will continue until July 31, 2019. a statement by the Taiwan Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) indicated that the visa-free policy will be reviewed for a possible further extension beyond the one-year extension.

Manila and Taipei have no formal diplomatic ties owing to the One-China Policy. Taiwan has no embassy in Manila and is instead represented by TECO, which acts as its de-facto embassy in the country. Taiwan is a self-ruling democratic island which separated from mainland China in 1949. The following requirements are required to avail of the free-entry visa to Taiwan: 1. A regular passport with a remaining six (6) months validity from the date of entry. 2. A return ticket or a ticket for the traveler's next destination and a visa for that destination if it is required. 3. No criminal record in Taiwan. 4. A proof of accommodation, such as hotel booking or host/sponsor’s contact information /or arrangements of tour, travel, visit, events and meeting. Those who intend to stay in Taiwan for more than 14 days or for the purpose of study, work, missionary, employment and other gainful activities are still required to obtain appropriate visas before entering Taiwan. The number of two-way visitors hit a record high in 2017 wherein Filipino travelers going to Taiwan reached 290,784 while Taiwanese visitors to the Philippines reached 236,777. Among the many place to visit in Taiwan include the the National Palace Museum, the best-known Shilin Night Market to Tainan Flowers Night Market, the gargantuan Chung Tai Chan Monastery in Puli Town, the Taipei101, and the many national parks, forest or state reserves. Taiwan also have a nationwide free Wi-Fi internet that rolled out in 2011, allowing residents to log on to the island's network, ITaiwan, at thousands of hotspots.
