SSS Flexi-Fund vs. Pag-ibig MP2 — Which Is a Better Investment?
Both these SSS Flexi-Fund and Modified Pag-ibig 2 (MP2) are savings programs offered by government agencies.
Both offer interest rates higher than those offered by banks for savings accounts and time deposits.
Both programs are guaranteed by the Philippine government.
Both are tax-free. Total savings plus their dividend or interest earnings are tax-free.
Here are the differences between the 2 programs:
SSS Educational Loan — Up to 20K Per Sem
Updated April 14, 2013 — SSS has increased the loan amount and has improved the rules!
Last February, my friend received from the postman her SSS educational loan check worth 15,000 pesos. She submitted her loan application on February 1, 2013 at an SSS branch. The next day, she saw on her online SSS account that her loan check was already generated. 12 days later, on February 13, she got from the postman her registered mail that contained her SSS loan check.
You can apply for this newly launched SSS Educational Loan program too.

Homesonic in Starmall Gives More Fun to Visitor
Read how a visitor scheduled to fly back to her home abroad got mired into the pit of Homesonic in Starmall:
Homesonic – Starmall Edsa – 725-7335 – Scam
I am adding my complaint about their unethical tactics to the hundreds, possibly thousands of similar stories already on file on the internet and the Department of Trade & Industry.
It is amazing to me that with so many complaints every day (and not one satisfied customer!), this outfit is still in business — apparently pulling the same crooked stunts several times every day, preying on vulnerable widows, grandmothers, pregnant women, and elderly people.
My Story is the same as everybody else’s.

I was on my way to pick up my laundry on the afternoon of 8 Dec 2012 when a lady approached me outside the Homesonic Store in Starmall and said “We are having an anniversary giveaway so come in and get a free gift.” I said “No, I don’t need anything” The girl pulled me into the store, then pushed me down in a massage chair inside the store.
