Years back, the term Financial Literacy was not even known here in the Philippines. We were doing things old-fashioned(keeping savings under the mattress) and afraid of wealthy people thinking they are doing something illegal.
The Philippines has enjoyed such time that we it is even called “a bright spot in Asia” and has been upgraded to investment grade credit rating several times. The Philippine stock market has again entered a new era when it breached the 8,000 level mark a few weeks ago for a sustained length of time and has now been playing at 7800 – 8050. With all these it is the best time ever to go and invest in the Philippines.
But the question is how prepared are you to put money to Philippine investments? Still lots of Pinoys are afraid to invest due to scams. They will look legit and promised returns that you can’t resist. If you have no enough knowledge you will surely fall for these scams and thus the more we should educate ourselves regarding the available investment vehicles in the Philippines. Education about investment is the key for you to avoid getting scammed. But even more having the right knowledge and tools will guide you to earn from such investments thus it is wise to invest in your financial literacy.
Lots of professionals are now here to help you to understand the investment choices and saved you from falling to scams. Make sure these are licensed professionals.
