MONEY: Philippine Stock Exchange Approved Cebu Pacific IPO

Yes, you heard it right. After they announced their desire to hold their Initial Public Offering (IPO), Cebu Pacific Air Lines has finally got PSE’s approval. The said approval was done the PSE board directors last Wednesday. The listing of Cebu Pacific into the PSE bourse is tentatively set on May 4 this year.


Cebu Pacific Air, a unit of conglomerate JG Summit Holdings Inc will be offering 125.25 Million shares at the maximum price of 95 pesos.

Cebu Pacific Air’s primary targets were international investors but will also offer shares for the local ones. Funds that will be generated by the IPO will be used in their further expansion. Currently, with a fleet of 29 aircrafts, Cebu pacific is now serving 50 domestic and 21 international destinations. The numbers are expected to increase as the market for air travel is expected to grow in the coming years.

Cebu Pacific initially planned the IPO way back in 2008 but the unexpected economic downturn during that year prompted the company to postpone their plans. With the good economic signs showing up nowadays, it seems to be the most appropriate time to do their original plan.

Resigning? SSS Will Deduct Your Loan Balance from Your Last Pay

The purpose of this article is to inform the public about this policy of the Social Security System (SSS), the government-owned insurance company for those employed in the private sector. I just learned about this a few months ago when my company announced a workforce reduction program. Among the sad discussions is about this policy of SSS regarding loans in cases of resignation or retrenchment. Section G-2 of the SSS Loan Terms and Conditions (at the back of the loan application form) explicitly says the following: "The employer shall deduct the total balance of the loan from any benefit/s due to the employee and shall remit the same in full to SSS, in case the member-borrower is separated voluntarily (e.g., retirement or resignation) or involuntarily (e.g., termination of employment or cessation of operations of the company)." In other words, y ou will be required to pay the rest of your loan (including the interest) when you change employer or employment statu

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

My dad needs a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. I did a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, it depends on many factors, such as which body part is to be scanned. There's also this technique called "MRI with contrast," wherein the patient will be injected with a chemical to make the scan clearer. For your information, this technique of adding contrast is known as  Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure, but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis.

We got it in  i-Scan Healthcare Inc.  here in Quezon City. The cost is  13000 Pesos . Please take note that the amount was just for the scan, and a separate professional will read the result. Some laboratories offer this service (i.e
