This Guy Saved Over Php80k with His Own Version of the Php100-Challenge
In this difficult world where the prices of commodities are continually rising but salaries and wages increase rather slowly, a lot of people are struggling to feed their families, let alone save money for the rainy days.
But financial experts continue to encourage people to save money for emergency needs so they won’t have to take high-interest loans during emergency situations.
How can you save money when you don’t even have a lot to spend for your needs?

Well, it’s just a matter of self-discipline, one guy claimed. Jesse Palerit, head of security at an agency in Quezon City, claimed that age is no hindrance for people to start saving.
At 37 years old, Jesse was able to save a total of Php84,515 in less than a year, thanks to self-discipline as well as trying his best to find extra income outside his main job.
To save money, Jesse created his own version of the Php100 challenge. Instead of saving money with the increments of Php100, he saved every Php100 bill he got his hands on. He also included all the Php10 and Php5 coins he received as change.

This way, he was able to save faster. But saving wasn’t easy, he admitted.
“Yung P100 kasi ang nakikita kong maraming bills at madaling ipunin. Yun din yung sa tingin ko ay kaya ko.
Pag may P100 na buo ako, di ko talaga ginagastos. Talagang pinasok ko lahat. May time pa nga na kahit gutom ako tinitiis ko muna basta di ko ibibili ang P100.”
Aside from living frugally, he also earned extra money from an online ticketing business as well as a prepaid load business.
“Wala namang pinipiling edad ang pag-iipon. Ang importante may disiplina tayo sa sarili kong paano gumastos.
Dapat yung bibilhin mo ay yung kailangan lang talaga. Gaya nang cellphone, di mo naman kailangan yung mamahalin or dobleng gadget. Di mo rin kailangan kumain sa mga mamahaling restaurant araw-araw. Basta disiplina lang po talaga.”
It’s actually Jesse’s first time to do a money challenge and he was so pleased with the results that he aims to break his own record next year.

As for the money he saved with this year’s challenge? Well, he’s planning on investing the money into his existing businesses. He will also open a money-lending business and put the rest of his savings in the bank.
The more he’s going to earn, the more he’s going to save – we’re quite sure it would be easier for him to break his record.

Teacher Goes Viral after Replying to Student Before Going to Her Wedding
We all know that most teachers are dedicated to their jobs and are often spending a lot of overtime work to finish lessons, grades, and various reports. But one teacher recently went viral after replying to a student before going to her wedding! Now, that’s truly dedication…
Teacher Replies to Student Before Her Wedding
It is said that teaching is a noble job because their work does not stop when they go out of the classroom.
More often than not, they still spend lots of hours after school is done because there are still a lot of lessons to prepares, papers and projects to check, assignments and seatworks to be corrected, grades to be made, reports to be submitted, and so much more. Even during weekends, teachers still have a lot of things to do.

Recently, a teacher showed that their work really isn’t done even outside their duties inside the school. Irish Jeanne Bautista wowed netizens after she replied to a student’s message even if she was busy preparing for her wedding.
The student was asking about something related to a submission of a paper; though it was not indicated whether the paper was an assignment, test paper, or project. Apparently, the teacher was able to check this student’s paper but the others were reportedly not there. However, the student was puzzled because the paper was submitted along with the others.

Though she was already busy at the time with wedding preparations, the teacher took time to reply to the student. She was not able to resolve the girl’s query, but the teacher made sure that the student did not feel that she was being ignored.
“Wait lang, Larah… Ikakasal lang si Ma’am. Replyan kita later,” the teacher replied, with matching emojis.
What are Emojis?
Emojis are digital icons or images that convey an emotion, idea, profession, logo, animals, expressions, buildings and places, etc.

Vendor Goes Viral for Bringing Pet Dog on Bike While Selling Peanuts
A vendor recently went viral for bringing his beloved pet dog on a bike while he is selling peanuts.
The dog might be having a difficult time in that makeshift basket and the man is also having a hard time pushing the broken bike, yet they seem to enjoy their life together – and the vendor wants to continue bringing his dog along while roams around the city to sell his peanuts.
Peanut Vendor Brings Pet Dog on Bike
A lot of animal lovers treat their pets as part of the family, not just as dogs or cats in the house. That’s why an elderly vendor in Cebu City brings his pet dog along, even if that meant that the animal is tied on a leash and goes with him on a makeshift basket he placed on his bike.

Netizen Franklin Ramos Mariscal shared photos of the peanut vendor and his dog, narrating how he met them by chance while he was walking along the South Bus Terminal on his way home. At first, Franklin thought that the man was strolling along with his dog, but he would later meet them again after he crossed the street.

According to the peanut vendor, his pet is a puppy Golden Retriever. He brings the dog along because he enjoys the dog’s company and is clearly an animal lover, Franklin observed. However, pushing that broken bike with the heavy dog made his back ache, the old man added.

Taking pity on the old man, Franklin decided to share his story so that netizens could also help him by buying from him when they happen to see him.
But the story would soon go viral, with netizens from faraway places also offering help. So, Franklin decided to accept donations for the old man so they can send him some groceries. Some netizens also suggested getting the old man a bike with sidecar so the dog will be more comfortable while the old man will be safer riding the bike.

Sidecar for Bikes and Motorcycles
Most bicycles and motorcycles are sold as they are, with just two wheels, but people in places like the Philippines have made modifications to add a sidecar and a third wheel to make these vehicles more serviceable. The sidecar allows the user to bring more goods on the vehicle or even have more passengers.

Online Shop Gives Free Blackpink Album to Courier Rider’s Daughter
An online shop selling K-pop merch has gone viral after giving a free Blackpink album to a courier rider’s daughter! The sweet gesture earned praise from netizens who were amazed that they would give the expensive item for free — and the courier rider did not even ask for it.
Generous Online Shop Gives Free K-Pop Merch
With the Korean wave still up in many countries across Asia and even as far as the US and some parts of Europe, a lot of online shops are chasing in on their popularity with K-pop merch also being top sellers. But it is also a reality that not all K-pop fans have the money to buy all the merch they wish to collect, especially because such could be expensive.

But the generous owner of a K-pop merch shop wowed netizens after sharing a free album to one of their courier riders.
ABest Express rider Ralph Paul De Leon messaged 7for7Shoppe to ask whether they have Blackpink’s “THE ALBUM”, something that his daughter wanted to have as present for her 15th birthday. After learning that this will actually be Yawina’s first Blackpink merch.

Aly, one of the shop owners, explained that though they sell K-POP merch at the shop she co-owns with friends Gab and Ianna, the item Yawina wants is being sold at another shop she co-owns with another group of friends, Jona and Mitche of BananaMilk PH.
Instead of selling the album to their hardworking ‘suki’ courier rider, Aly decided to gift it to his daughter instead.

“…I think na albums are expensive talaga. It’s not for all kumbaga. So sa ‘kin parang instead of selling it, why not just give it instead. Kasi po birthday din naman ng one (GOT7) member nung day na ‘yun (Tito Jaebeom 😂), so celebration na rin po sana,” explained Aly.
“We are fans too kaya alam namin the happiness it could give to someone. And cute kasi talaga ng dad, ang supportive.”
Aside from giving “The ALBUM”, 7for7Shoppe also sent Yawina a poster and some unofficial Blackpink photo cards.

The happy dad later shared a photo of Yawina happily showing off the merch she received from the shop.

What is Merch?
“Merch” is actually short for “merchandise”. It is a common term used today for collectible items that are often associated with popular figures such as YouTubers, artists, vloggers, or various personalities.
