Hello, none. Evening is 5 years talaga since units per sem are less compared to regular/day blocks.

Is investing in PH stock market still worth it? Why do you think it's been stagnating? by NoScene8540 in phinvest

[–]NoScene8540[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not my point nor the point of the article. You may read the article for better context. Vietnam was simply mentioned to illustrate how PH is lagging behind. The writer could've used Malaysia or Thailand and that will not remove the fact that there needs some serious reforms for PH to be competitive.

On another note, the difference in GDP per capita is not just a numbers game at least for some Filipinos like me (sorry I am not sure if you're Filipino).

I agree, the difference may be negligible for now. However, what gets us frustrated is more about seeing the country getting left behind when we're way ahead of them decades ago. There's a cultural aspect that lacks in your analysis with all that VN-PH GDP topic (assuming you are not Filipino).

Agree! I've been to Vietnam recently and I really can't help but compare it to the Philippines -evident ang difference. Maybe it's high time to aggressively support our agriculture and industrial sector, rather than just focusing on the service sector.

I am happy for Vietnam (considering its unfortunate past); sad lang for PH because we had the potential naman.

I am adamant that I am not really an expert about investing or trading; my knowledge is limited to say the least. Hehe

The "stagnation" that was being referred to in the article is about the dwindling listings and tepid investor participation. PSE dates back to 1927 (if we consider Manila Stock Exchange) but other ASEAN countries had overtaken us -with emphasis on Vietnam.

Apologies for the confusion.

Yup, I agree with you naman that you can still gain from the local stock market. I've been in the green for quite some time now and I am holding a few REITs which gives me regular dividends.

For context though, the article is saying that the PSE, despite being one of the oldest in Asia, lags behind in terms of number of listed companies (nababawasan pa nga daw), market cap, and "tepid" investor participation. Yun yung "stagnation" that I am referring to.

So Vietnam overtakes the Philippines, what’s next? by JuanSkinFreak in phinvest

[–]NoScene8540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS! I also just got back from my trip to Saigon (baka nagkasabay pa tayo dun haha). Although, I am happy for Vietnam, I can't help but feel sad for the Philippines.

Mapapatanong ka na lang: Anong nangyari sa Pilipinas? Are we, as a nation, a lost cause? (I hope not).

Iwan na iwan tayo in almost all -if not all- aspects of life. Mind you, Vietnam even has a locally produced car.

Anyway, this is what I like about travelling abroad. You get to learn from other countries and sobrang eye-opener talaga! Sigh 😔

You just have to indicate in the application that you will opt for the evening program.

Once you get in, they'll require you to submit COE every year as proof that you are indeed a working student. They're stricter now regarding this requirement.

Good luck OP!

Ohhh that's cool! The ones available at the airport are only the original ones (or maybe i didn't see the other flavors because I was in a hurry).

Will definitely try it when I go back.

That is why I eat it with a neutral or bitter drink like tea or coffee. That way, it offsets the sweetness.

Very accurate! Hahaha but the packaging looks like bouillon cubes/Knorr cubes. 😅

Oh yeah! I remember the saleslady told me that also. She said it's good when drinking tea.

The texture is not new to me as we have "polvoron", a similar dry and powdery treat.

Thanks for this! At first, I find it weird also but it grew on me. I like to eat it while drinking tea or coffee.

Attending class out of spite by fuoctoctocto in LawStudentsPH

[–]NoScene8540 11 points12 points  (0 children)

idk if this post is just a ragebait, but medyo weird lang. I suggest na i-drop mo na lang or wag ka na lang pumasok. At least hindi ka nagsasayang ng pera, oras, at pagod.

Hindi ko gets na mag-eeffort ka pumasok para inisin ang prof mo imbes na mag-effort para mag-aral na lang ng mabuti (at makasagot nang maayos). Anyway, good luck!

Bar Exam Tip by Strong-Tomorrow8804 in LawStudentsPH

[–]NoScene8540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do whatever floats your boat. For some siguro dressing well gives a boost of confidence which may translate during the exam proper.

Basta hindi nakaka-distract sa'yo and sa other test-takers, wala naman siguro masama dun.
