  AXA Philippines has collaborated with Wealth Arki for a five-part YouTube webisode series on global investing .   The pandemic has resulted in volatile market conditions, and it's during these times when diversification of investments is especially important. Investing globally is one of the best ways to diversify because it spreads out one's investment to other markets, thus lowering risks while also capitalizing on growth in other countries. So why are many Filipinos still reluctant to invest globally? It's possible that some still find the idea abstract, or may not be familiar with available options, while others may just want to stick with what feels comfortable. However, if we don't overcome these barriers, we lose the opportunity to take advantage of the growth that global investing offers. In its bid to equip more Filipinos with the knowledge and the confidence to venture into global investing, AXA Philippines, one of the country's leading insurance pr

COVID-19 is a serious illness the whole world is currently battling, but this should not hinder us from taking care of other health problems. This includes malnutrition, which has been a concern among children, even before the pandemic. Malnutrition is one of the biggest impediments to human development. Children who are stunted, wasting, or obese may have some trouble performing at school, may experience low self-esteem, and later on, suffer long-term effects as an adult. According to a report from the Food and Nutrition Research Institute, 26% or 1 out of 4 school children are underweight, which is a condition where children are found to weigh below the standard weight for the child’s age. A survey last year also showed that 62% or 6 out of 10 of households experienced moderate to severe food insecurity -- the state in which people are at risk or actually suffering from inadequate consumption to meet nutritional requirements. Students from Pasig engaged in one of the pre-pand

Sabi ko sa sarili ko, okay si RJ,” Colet said. “And I was right. Through the years, he stayed talaga with us. Today, I have 10 policies with Sun life – for me, my husband, and for my three children.” RJ’s advice proved crucial when the couple came across an opportunity for them to venture into build-and-sell. As interested as they were in pursuing the business, they had no idea how they could fund it without sacrificing their financial priorities. Fortunately, they had in RJ an advisor who was not only on top of their financial plans, but also makes an effort to constantly check in on them. When he learned about Colet and Gelo’s plans, he presented the idea of using the earnings from their inve
