Share

Everyone dreams of becoming rich—rich enough to be able to pay for bills, acquire property, send a family member to school, get proper medical care when health fails, or travel at least once a year. This is the great Filipino dream.
Luckily, Filipinos today have more access to online blogs that can be their source of information and inspiration to be financially literate.
These blogs offer valuable tips about money, investment, and related financial topics that Filipinos can apply in their everyday life and help them prepare for their future.
Here are some personal finance blogs where you can pick up a lesson or two on how to free yourself from money woes:
1. BoSanchez.ph
Bo Sanchez is a published author of best-selling books such as “My Maid Invests in the Stock Market…And Why You Should, Too!” and “8 Secrets of the Truly Rich.” He’s also a micro-entrepreneur on a mission to convert (no pun intended) ordinary Filipinos to become financially literate.
As a fan of the passive income stream, Bro. Bo uses his blog to educate people about money habits and how to be “Truly Rich”—the battle cry of a club he mentors to help its members develop the proper mindset and recognize opportunities in their journey to financial independence.
2. Pesos and Sense
The Pesos and Sense author Aya Laraya describes himself as an investment advocate. He’s an expert when it comes to the stock market, mutual funds, insurance, and other areas of personal finance—having decades of professional experience in these fields.
The blog seems to be on a hiatus, but if you look at it, it’s very user-friendly with an archive of Laraya’s blog posts and full episodes of his then “Pesos and Sense” TV show, so you can learn so much just by being on his blog.
He even speaks and writes in Taglish, so it’s very easy to understand what he’s teaching.
3. Ready to be Rich
Fitz Villafuerte’s own life story—from being a corporate slave to a full-fledged investor-entrepreneur, motivated him to put his blog up.
On his blog, he shares lessons about credit card management, freelance work, business and investment, impulse buying, and personal savings. He regularly updates it with new content, announcements, guest posts, and a gamut of tips and lessons worth knowing and sharing.
4. Randell Tiongson
Randell Tiongson is a wealth coach, an author, and a registered financial planner (he is no less than the director of the Registered Financial Planner Institute Philippines).
Tiongson’s advocacy is financial education for the OFWs. To date, he has given lectures in more than a dozen foreign countries, where a lot of Filipinos are based.
Tiongson covers various subject areas like personal finance, money management, investing, and economics, among others, and is a popular reference for research among Filipino individuals and corporations.
Through the blog, you can also join “Money Talks with Randell,” which is hailed as the first personal finance public chat group launched via the Viber app.
5. Mommy Lace
Calling all mommies out there, this one’s for you! Mommy Lace blog is not your usual site for parenting, health, and beauty, or family relationship topics, as it also caters to personal finance issues confronting Filipina mothers and homemakers.
As such, it contains posts related to home budgeting, financial planning, money management, finance manager apps, and life insurance.
6. Smart Pinoy Investor
Romer “Omeng” Tawid, the man behind this site, is a blogger, seminar organizer, and resource speaker who’s slowly making waves in promoting smart financial management among his thousands of followers on social.
Through his blog, Omeng shares personal finance tips, stock picks, investment recommendations, and free webinars for those new to the world of investing.
Omeng’s blog is replete with resources, including downloadable quick start guides and ebooks, and a Q&A board for posting comments and questions on published posts.
7. Frugal Honey
Jill Sabitsana is another self-made winner in pursuing financial independence. Her past struggle with credit card debt is open to the public and is the big reason she decided to change her lifestyle.
She posts helpful resources about budgeting, debt management, financial literacy, investing, and retirement.
Each post is very personal to the blogger, but it’s not without a nugget of wisdom from other financial advisers in the land.
8. Burn Gutierrez
As a former OFW, Burn Gutierrez first invested in mutual funds and life insurance and is now sharing the knowledge he has gained about online business, investing, and earning passively on his self-titled blog.
In his desire to educate his fellow Filipinos about personal finance, Gutierrez has founded the Angat Pilipinas Coalition for Financial Literacy, which has been recently tapped by GRAB Philippines to conduct a series of personal finance workshops for its top drivers and their housewives.
Apart from Angat Pilipinas, Gutierrez also co-founded PhilCrowd, a crowdfunding company that encourages Filipinos to partner with local businesses and startups.
9. The Wise Living
Blogger, Lianne Martha Laroya, authored “OMG! Where Did Your Sweldo Go? (9 Secret Sweldo Tips To Be A 20-Something Millionaire)” and “Young Pinoy Millionaire” to give her readers free e-book resources on money management.
Laroya is a licensed financial advisor affiliated with an insurance company, so her blog talks about the perks of having a life insurance. She also writes about lifestyle and self-development in her blog, which she relates well to personal finance.
10. Think Pesos
