Will Philippines Airlines exist in 2020 by pej1111
Take this post for what it is, speculative. But I am considering if I (travelers) should be trusting Philippine Airlines in long term bookings? I guess the question is will PAL go bankrupt? I ready today that they are losing 300,000PHP a ...

I wish the Philippines would be a little bit more clear about their travel lockdowns so visitors who are looking forward to going there won't be so confused about what they need to do.Don't book with them just at the moment. If they cancel ... Read More

Any one that is holding on and waiting for PAL to give you a refund, i think that you can kiss that good bye. Also be careful booking future flights as they may cancel them and then not have to pay your money back. As you can see from the link ... Read More
Paluwagan Investment Scheme by Cherryann01
Can anybody please explain to me how Paluwagan works. My Filipino girlfriend is in a group who set up an account and for the life of me I can not understand it. She says that each member contributes an agreed amount each month and that money will be ...
Is that 10% interest that is paid monthly or yearly? Sounds like it may be a bit of a pyramid "investment", depending how it is set up. I have attached some links below, also inputted some information about other lending and investment ... Read More
