What is the PLDT KaAsenso Cyberya?

You might have heard of it already or have used one but for some, it's something new. For one, the name itself is self-explanatory on what it can do. PLDT KaAsenso Cyberya is a product from the PLDT group. KaAsenso means that by availing of it, you can earn from it and Cyberya literally means "coins for internet access". This is PLDT's project to get millions of Filipinos to use the internet at a low cost.

EVP, Head of PLDT HOME Business Ariel Fermin and Dept. of Education Asst. Sec. Toni Umali

PLDT is lifting the Filipino entrepreneurial spirit by letting them have their own business through these affordable businesses called "PLDT KaAsenso Cyberya". It's an internet-rental service wherein customers only pay as low as P1 to surf the internet. Each package has a computer set, cabinet, coin slot, timer, and of course, high-speed internet powered by PLDT Home DSL*.
*Wired Broadband up to 2Mbps (minimum speed of 150 kbps at 80% reliability)

Last October 05 ,2014, the teacher advocacy group of PLDT “PLDT Gabay Guro (2G) gave away 10 of these PLDT KaAsenso Cyberya units to public schools during the Gabay Guro Grand Gathering plus other big prizes like House and Lot and that is just to name a few. Read more about that grand gathering here: http://cheftonio.blogspot.com/2014/10/grand-tribute-for-teachers-by-pldt-gabay-guro.html

EVP, Head of PLDT HOME Business Ariel Fermin and Dept. of Education Asst. Sec. Toni Umali

Each PLDT KaAsenso Cyberya business investment starts as low as P7,300 (Installment terms), and a barangay permit to operate. Amortization of the said package is only P500 a month for the first 3 months. This will give the new business owner time to get to know how to run the business better. As per their computation, ROI would roughly be around 5 months but this will still depend on the actual business performance. There are 2 kinds of stations to choose from -- a "surfing unit" and a "gaming unit". Both packages can be availed in full or installment payment schemes. As a benefit, all Cyberya units come with a 24-month extended warranty aside from the after-sales support.

As I've mentioned, this is PLDT's way in lifting up the Filipino entrepreneurial spirit by providing them with an opportunity to learn and have his own business.

Robinsons Music Festival: Soundbites with Silk and Side A

I just came from the Robinsons Soundbites music festival and it was great! The timing was perfect to just listen to some tunes and slow down a bit after a week full of fast forwards. The opening act was 'Silk' and they performed a mix of new, old and opm songs for everyone. The main act is Side A but unfortunately, I had prior commitments so I had to go (so much for fully slowing down). It would have been fun to stay longer but.. the good news is, there are still upcoming soundbites if you want to join!

Cirque Du Bebe: Baby & Kids Fair Deals (March 28-30, 2014)

Being soon to be parents, both my husband and I are very keen in checking baby fairs in the metro. I must admit, we are excited for the arrival of our little one but it doesn't mean that we need to splurge in buying all his needs - hence, we scout for fairs and sale because for sure, there are heaps of great deals that parents and soon-to-be parents will surely love.

Because both of us do have work during weekdays, we only had the chance to visit the Cirque Du Bebe Saturday afternoon and honestly, our main target was the cord banking booths as I was informed by one of their agents that they will be offering a huge discount on this baby fair.

Tickets to Cirque Du Bebe - Admission is free but you will need to register

Both companies having presented to us early March, both husband and I have already had our preferences and we were really praying for guidance and confirmation on the bank we chose. You may also view our comparison of the two blood banks in our other blog: Stemcord-Cordlife Comparison.

Our prayers were answered when Stemcord offered a 20,000.00-discount on the registration fees of cord banking if you decide to bank you child's chord blood with them on the said fair. This is actually made available for the first 100-clients who will be signing up with them. Upon asking their staff, this is actually the first time that they have offered a discount that was big - not to mention you get to have additional Php 200.00 pesos GC c/o Bench and the Project Mom book when you register on the fair. This is actually better than the 12 months 0 interest promo that they are currently offering!

Circus-themed Stemcord Booth

Husband already used the other piece of GC while inside the fair, haha!

Credit card payments are also accepted so for those who wanted to defer payment until the next month's billing and earn points, this is a great opportunity! The initial registration cost of Stemcord is at 55,000 + 7% GST = Php 58,850.00 and we only paid Php 38,850.00.

Cord Blood Collection Kit Inside the Blue Box

If you are already due within the next three months, they will be giving you the blue box already and you will be needing to bring this to the hospital on your day of delivery. For those who will be giving birth in hospitals where they have offices, the contents (blood storage & needles, etc) will be with Stemcord and will be given to you on your delivery day. This is to avoid hassle on the part of the parents of having to worry on bringing additional stuffs.

In addition to this, Bench also offers 1 loot bag for a minimum purchase of Php 3,000.00 with a maximum of 3 loot bags per transaction - in our case we got 3 loot bags. This is actually offered to the first 500 only.

One of our loot bags

Loot Bag Contents - are actually very useful and I liked each one of them!

Another thing, for those purchases that you will be needing to pay at the Bench Counter, their Bench Lifestyle Card is also honored there so you get to ear points too!

You still have today to head to Cirque Du Bebe! I'm sure there are a lot of other good finds for parents and soon-to-be parents out there! The fair is located at The Playground of BENCH TOWER which is at 30th St., cor. Rizal Drive, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City. It's from 10am until 8pm.

Do share with us the good deals that you found too!

5th Philippine International Pyromusical Competition [Photos- Finland and Canada]

As much as possible, I do not want to miss a single year without going to the Pyromusical competition here in the Philippines. It's usually held in SM Mall of Asia but it was held at another venue one year. Glad that for the past years, they do it on SM Mall of Asia grounds! As I've blogged about the Pyromusical for 2014 as early as November 2013, I had a hard time choosing which country I will watch. If I can only watch it all the countries every week, I would. But because of time constraints, sometimes, I just choose which day I would go.

14 Things I've Learned from the Philam Life Wealth Management Forum

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to attend the Philam Life Wealth Management forum as invited by a PR agency. It was a privilege as I get to learn a lot of new insights, investment tips, and was motivated as well. The best part was, NO product selling was made. I was expecting the night to be full of sales pitches and product promotions. Well, the CEO himself reassured everyone in the audience that they can enjoy their meals as there will be no product pitches that night.

Same with that night, this post won't be about product or promotions. Let me share with you the valuable wealth of learning I have learned that night. Such learning have to be shared because I believe that the success of others will also tantamount to your success.

Philippine Hot Air Balloon 2014 Cancelled (Official Statement)

A weekend of everything that flies won't happen this year. It's one of the most awaited events in the Philippines and the organizers said that they need more time to keep everything safe. It's a reasonable enough reason for me. Because of this, maybe we can expect a bigger and grander (and safer of course) 2015 Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.
