You Can Beat Inflation By Doing These Things

Our country is now experiencing high inflation rate like its neighboring countries. The only thing is that, while other countries in the region like India, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, etc., seems to recuperate with high inflation rates, we are just started to hit the peak. 
The high inflation rate is so evident that even the families of overseas Filipino workers  (OFW) who used to catch up with their expenses using the remittances sent by the OFWs to pay their bills, mortgages etc., are now complaining of budget shortage due to high prices of food items, transportation, and basic commodities. 
Recruitment and migration expert Emmanuel Geslani even advised the OFWs to send at least 20% more remittances in order for their families to cope up as the prices soar high.
Could it really help? How do we beat the high prices brought about by the inflation?

As a move to urge Filipinos and foreign businessmen to engage in doing business in the country, President Rodrigo Duterte signed the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act into law in May 2018. This new law sets a deadline for the government to quickly act on business applications, about three to five days for simple processes and seven to 10 days for complex ones. Even before the effectivity of this new law, the government had already been doing its part to make business registration for prospective entrepreneurs easier by making some application processes online.

Even before the effectivity of this new law, the government had already been doing its part to make business registration for prospective entrepreneurs easier by making some application processes online. Ads Sponsored Links The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)’s business name registration for single proprietors is among the first processes to become digitized. The Philippine Business Registry (PBR), DTI’s business name registration system, has been made more accessible for single business owners since 2012. A prospective entrepreneur is not anymore required to visit DTI offices to secure a Certificate of Business Registration. With the PBR website, the certificate can even be printed in the comfort of their own home. Here are the steps you have to take to secure that certificate. Check the availability of a business name Before starting the registration process, it helps to check if the business name you have in mind is still available to use. At the PBR, one can easily type in the prospective business name and it will check the database if there are enterprises already using that trade name. A word of advice: don’t just try to check the business name you are aiming for once. Try to modify your search to save time later on. For example, if you are thinking of putting up a business called “Juan dela Cruz Services,” modify your search and break down every part of the business name from just “Juan dela” to “Cruz Services.” Some business names just differ in spacing or spelling. The DTI also reminds applicants to ensure that the business name isn’t similar to an existing trade name or trademark, such as “Anne Dok’s Lechon,” “Jolibee” and "Starbax Café.” On the other hand, names that are too generic, such as “The Coffee Shop” for your café, aren’t permissible, too. Business owners also can’t use the abbreviation of a government agency or international organization. Business name registration Once you’ve verified that your prospective business name is still available for use, you can proceed to the business name application. Once in the page, you will be required to choose the geographic scope of the enterprise: national, regional, city or town, and barangay. If you are keen on operating a business that will reach clients in different parts of the country—for example, an online shop—then it’s best to register your scope as nationwide. The fees will vary depending on the scope, ranging from Php200 to Php2,000. Afterward, the business owner’s personal info will be required. You will only have to submit some basic details such as tax identification number, residence address and mobile number. By this time, you’re done with the most tedious part of the online registration process. You may now choose whether to pay cash through either a local DTI office or Go Negosyo Center, or via an online payments system. The PBR only accepts two kinds of online payments: Bancnet and GCash. If you have an online account with any bank, then paying through Bancnet is advisable. Otherwise, a GCash account may be needed to complete the transaction. You also have the option whether to pick up your business certificate from a local DTI office or have it printed yourself. Once the payment is complete, a message will be sent to your e-mail on how you will retrieve the certificate based on the method you selected. Most likely, the whole process will only require 15 to 30 minutes of your time.

Imagine that you are earning just enough to pay your bills, mortgages and other household expenses and your company seldom give you a raise in your salary. Even the families of overseas Filipino workers (OFW) are finding it difficult to budget the remittances they receive due to inflation. Everything has increased its prices and you need to catch up. Ads Sponsored Links Here are some practical tips to save money on food items. Make A Shopping List And Stick to It Planning your meals for the week and carefully selecting specific ingredients to buy can save a lot out of your food budget. With the list on hand, purchase only the items you need to buy and avoid impulse buys. Eat Before You Shop When you are hungry and you walk into a building full of food, it is more likely that you are going to grab unnecessary and expensive items that appeal more to your palate than your pocket. It is highly advised that you eat first and shop. Avoid Fastfoods Ready-made meals are easy to buy but come with a cost. Instead of eating in fast food or restaurant, buy the ingredients and do it at home preparing the meal yourself. It could save you a lot and still keep the leftovers for the next meal. Do Not bring Your Kids While Shopping Every extra minute that you spend in the store increases the chances of you buying more and this includes toys and snacks meant to keep the kids behave while you try to focus on your hunt for a good bargain. Do not bring your kids with you while shopping to save time and money. Buy in Bulk Buying in bigger packaging can save you a lot. You can usually find great deals in buying a larger packaging. However, pay attention to your spending habits and consider your storage capacity. Use Store Reward Cards And Coupons Coupons provide an easy way to save money. There is no harm in clipping them and using them in purchasing foods, helping you save on your food shopping cost. Buy locally produced foods Locally grown or produced food is cheaper because you don't pay for long transportation costs. You also help local farmers and food producers meet their daily needs as well. Compare Store Prices; Grab the cheapest Have an assessment of which stores offers lower prices for particular food items and buy it from them. Some grocery stores have special prices for a specific item and they are not often applicable to other stores. Be aware of the price tags and grab it where it cost the lowest. Look Down at the lower shelf Most expensive items are usually displayed at eye-level. To find less expensive items, look down. Avoid the Checkout Temptations Beware of the displays placed at the end of each aisle. They often feature premium brands and they are placed there for a purpose. Shop for Sales Pay attention to sales on necessity items and stock up on non-perishables and freezer goods. Be mindful of the expiration date because most of the sale items are often near expiration dates. Ads Shop Infrequently Reducing the number of trips that you make to the store each week or month reduces the chances of unnecessary purchases and minimizes the amount of transportation cost spent getting there. Pay in Cash Avoid using your credit card in purchasing food. If you don't pay off the card in full each month, you pay interest on the purchase. To avoid paying the extra cost, use cash when you shop. Check Your Bill Electronic scanners make the shopping experience faster and more convenient, however, scanners aren't foolproof. Take a look at the receipt to make sure your coupons and discounts were accurate. In addition to this, try planting edible plants and vegetables and use it to save on your next food purchase. Having an organic vegetable garden in your yard lets you eat your favorite veggise for free.

Fuel Efficient Jeeps Start Transport Operations - Here's How To Get One or Apply as Driver

The Philippine government's Jeepney Modernization program has introduced a slew of energy efficient and electric jeepneys. The good news - some have started plying roads in Quezon City and other metros across the country officially! While the early routes for e-jeeps and fuel efficient jeeps were merely test routes, the LTFRB are now opening franchise for these energy efficient public transports. The BEEP - or "Bagong Jeeps" - were introduced under an initiative led by transport group "Kilusan sa Pagbabago ng Industriya ng Transportasyon" (Kapit). The bright blue BEEPs were acquired by their new owners through a loan from the Development Bank of the Philippines, which can be paid back in seven years. The deal has new BEEP owners turning over their old jeeps for these new Euro 4 compliant jeeps with emissions well below the standard. The government aims to eventually phase out smoke emitting public utility transports that are 15 years old or older, in a bid to modernize the Philippines' transport sector. There are currently about 250,000 registered jeepneys in the country. Among the aim is to introduce 10,000 electric jeepneys within the next three years. Currently, among the number of newly deployed BEEPs, it's not clear how many of them are electric. KAPIT Chairman Vigor Mendoza II said it is a good move from the government in ensuring the safety and protection of the riding public. The group said several Beeps jeepneys are already plying in Quezon City, Cagayan de Oro, Tarlac City, Baguio City and Cebu City. These BEEP Jeeps have GPS so the operator can do strict monitoring of the BEEP's speed and route. While previous designs say they will have televisions, I have yet to see one that has a TV inside. But CCTV and dashcam are installed for safety. They also have a fire extinguisher inside each unit, something you will rarely find in old jeeps. The LTFRB said modernized PUVs will soon have Internet connection too. BEEP cards, for e-payments will also be incorporated. The BEEPs are Euro 4 compliant, meaning they are environment-friendly and fuel efficient. This means the new e-jeeps follow a world standard set in 2008-2010 while many of the old jeeps we are used to have standards well before the 90's - that's about 30 years ago or more! A standard BEEP has a capacity of 25 persons, and is more spacious than the traditional jeep. So how do you get one of these cool rides? KAPIT Chairman Mendoza explains the requirements. 1. An operator has to be a member of a transport association. They will have to sign a Management Contract, allowing the transport association management of the vehicle for franchise purposes. If the operator has an old jeepney unit, he has to retire it. It is unclear if this program is allowed for new operators. 2. The official price for these new units are 1.4 Million for the non air-conditioned BEEPS and P1.6 Million for the air-conditioned BEEPs. But the operator does not need to shell out money! 3. KAPIT will actually provide the initial capital for the downpayment or guarantee in lieu of. They will also assist with the banking requirements. 4. The monthly amortization of the air-conditioned BEEP is P17,000 per month. Each unit can service up to 600 passengers per day. Are they good for Drivers? Under the transport association, the BEEPs are good for drivers too. Unlike in the old system, BEEP drivers are regular employees. They get a fixed salary of P1,100 per day and there is no profit boundary or quota required! That's for an 8-10 hour's worth of driving. They also wear uniforms, have SSS contributions. Drivers get assistance from a “passenger assistance officer” on board better known as conductors. The group also have their own mechanics for the maintenance and repair of the BEEP units. What are the Passenger Benefits? Apart from the bigger and more spacious interior, passengers of air conditioned BEEPS travel in comfort, even if stuck in traffic. They also pay similar fare compared to older jeeps, starting with P8 minimum fare. Passenger safety is also foremost as drivers undergo medical, drug and psychological tests, and attend weekly seminars with their operators.

The group said several Beeps jeepneys are already plying in Quezon City, Cagayan de Oro, Tarlac City, Baguio City and Cebu City. These BEEP Jeeps have GPS so the operator can do strict monitoring of the BEEP's speed and route. While previous designs say they will have televisions, I have yet to see one that has a TV inside. But CCTV and dashcam are installed for safety. They also have a fire extinguisher inside each unit, something you will rarely find in old jeeps. The LTFRB said modernized PUVs will soon have Internet connection too. BEEP cards, for e-payments will also be incorporated. The BEEPs are Euro 4 compliant, meaning they are environment-friendly and fuel efficient. This means the new e-jeeps follow a world standard set in 2008-2010 while many of the old jeeps we are used to have standards well before the 90's - that's about 30 years ago or more! A standard BEEP has a capacity of 25 persons, and is more spacious than the traditional jeep. So how do you get one of these cool rides? KAPIT Chairman Mendoza explains the requirements. 1. An operator has to be a member of a transport association. They will have to sign a Management Contract, allowing the transport association management of the vehicle for franchise purposes. If the operator has an old jeepney unit, he has to retire it. It is unclear if this program is allowed for new operators. 2. The official price for these new units are 1.4 Million for the non air-conditioned BEEPS and P1.6 Million for the air-conditioned BEEPs. But the operator does not need to shell out money! 3. KAPIT will actually provide the initial capital for the downpayment or guarantee in lieu of. They will also assist with the banking requirements. 4. The monthly amortization of the air-conditioned BEEP is P17,000 per month. Each unit can service up to 600 passengers per day. Are they good for Drivers? Under the transport association, the BEEPs are good for drivers too. Unlike in the old system, BEEP drivers are regular employees. They get a fixed salary of P1,100 per day and there is no profit boundary or quota required! That's for an 8-10 hour's worth of driving. They also wear uniforms, have SSS contributions. Drivers get assistance from a “passenger assistance officer” on board better known as conductors. The group also have their own mechanics for the maintenance and repair of the BEEP units. What are the Passenger Benefits? Apart from the bigger and more spacious interior, passengers of air conditioned BEEPS travel in comfort, even if stuck in traffic. They also pay similar fare compared to older jeeps, starting with P8 minimum fare. Passenger safety is also foremost as drivers undergo medical, drug and psychological tests, and attend weekly seminars with their operators.
