Sino sa inyo ang gustong mabago ang financial life this 2015? Ang tanong, bakit kaya may mga tao na hindi pa rin naniniwala na pwede nila maabot ang Financial Freedom na pinapangarap nila? Alam niyo ba? Hindi yan dahil sa ayaw nila na guminhawa ang kanilang buhay. Minsan sa sobrang kahirapan na dinadanas, nawawalan na sila ng pag-asa na makalabas pa sa kanilang katayuan sa buhay. At ang madalas nitong sanhi ay ang pagkakaroon ng UTANG o DEBT. Ikaw ba yung tipo na nawalang na ng pag-asa dahil sobrang laki ng iyong utang? Ikaw ba yung tipo na kahit mabayaran mo na ang utang mo, ay bumabalik ka pa din sa pagkakautang? Ikaw ba yung tipo na hindi mo na alam ang gagawain mo sa sobrang konti na lang ang natitira sa sahod mo dahil malaking parte ng sweldo mo ay napupunta lang sa pagbabayad ng interest
SM Lanang Premier and SM Lifestyle Entertainment, Inc. employees engage kids in some morning exercises.

SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE Admit that you are in financial need. Huwag kang magpanggap. Magpakatotoo ka! LIVE IN SIMPLICITY NOT DUPLICITY Dapat matutong makuntento sa buhay. Huwag magasam ng mga bagay kung hindi pa tama ang timing. I hope this short video blog is able to enlighten you. Alam ko kayang-kaya nyo makawala sa utang, lalo na kung ginagamit nyo na ang Debt repayment plan na kasama na sa CHINK POSITIVE MONEY KIT!

Legal Advantage of Rationalization Plan By Angelita M. Maribojoc, EPS
Executive Order 366 paved the way towards the creation of new organizational set up in the Department of Education known as the Rationalization Plan. This brought forth new
position and deleting other positions. Divisions are now categorized into very large, large, medium and small categories. B efore the advent of Rationalization Plan, ser-
Within Reach By Elbert R. Francisco
“Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” The 21st century education is reshaped according to the needs of the clienteles. It is strengthened to adapt to the trends in the world market. This form of educational advancement is anchored on empowering every sovereign citizen with the necessary skills for global competitiveness. It also focuses on the holistic development of every individual regardless of his race and economic status. Today, education marks an end to naiveté. It has opened its gate to every “Juan” to enjoy the different possibilities life could offer. An educated man actually closes doors of ignorance and embraces the windows of challenges that lie ahead. When an individual becomes knowledgeable in all aspects of human existence, the more he aspires for changes; a change in his beliefs, a change on his perspectives, and a change over his actions. Education, as we all know, is a powerful tool that elevates a person’s spirit towards the attainment of equality and justice. It is a weapon that would transform the underprivileged
and the less fortunate people to financially stable entities. The knowledge one has gathered from countless of learning and the wisdom he has conceptualized throughout the years are manifestations of the positive effect of education to human race. However, many young Filipinos nowadays do not fully value the importance of education in their lives. They already have lost their identity. These people have been fighting the battle unarmed with virtues—faith, fortitude, optimism, patience, perseverance and etc. They are blinded with the superficial desire to earn money for many things they do not exactly need. These immature youngsters have been locked in the cavern of uncertainty. Perchance, the reasons for not prioritizing education differ from one person to another. Apparently, these are not limited to common problems such as financial incapacitation, conflicts between parents, far distance of school from home and early marriage. Personal attributes such as carefreeness, laziness and passiveness also have impact in the deteriorating love of learners for education. Subsequently, education
vices for legal officers are limited only to the central and regional offices. However, by this time, for very large, large and medium divisions, an item for lawyer position was opened. This delighted much the divisions particularly those
with lots of pending complaints and other related legal concerns. Indeed, a guardian in legal matters is essential in day to day operations of division offices. Not all are well exposed to grievance machineries on DepEd
is labeled best when it has served its purpose. Through the efforts of the government in realigning the needs of the constituents with the standards set beforehand, illiteracy, failure and monetary scarcity are just few of the meaningless words that bear no connotations at all. It is because the individual skills and talents are certainly enhanced so as to produce skilled and competent citizen. When the K to 12 Basic Education Program reaches its full swing of implementation, surely no more Filipino is left behind. According to John Dewey, an American psychologist, philosopher, educator, social
critic, and political activist, “Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.” With this, schoolteachers should see to it that everything goes well, and they should empower every Filipino with the 21st century skills, for education is not just the ladder to attaining success but the victory itself in depth. Teachers, as molders of the young minds, should carry out the programs and thrusts of the government for the betterment of the whole populace. Since the fate has already been entrusted to the working hands of the unsung heroes, thus the road to the world of jobs is within reach.
Rules and Procaedures, in handling complaints, in knowing the legal implications in some decisions among others. That’s why, an attorney is very important to DepEd division offices. To the largest department in the country, it is a great advantage having a counsel to assist the superintendent in settling disputes or clarifying issues. In some cases, legal problems consumed much time from the other regular functions of the agency heads because they are to gather facts and make written justifications on complaints that are sometimes forwarded to the CSC, Text Action Center, NBI or to the legal section
at the Central Office. This can cause stress and inefficiency by some schools division superintendents. Thus, with the presence now of a legal counsel in permanent regular status, we can expect a thorough legal service. However, lawyer positions in DepEd is not that lucrative. Salary cap is not that attractive for it is only a fraction to those practicing lawyers and even to those lawyers employed by other agencies. In this scenario, it is a probability that DepEd will just be the springboard for neophyte lawyers while waiting for the right time towards greener pastures. This maybe true or not but this is a better leverage than resorting to retainership mode of legal services.
