An Investment Coop?

by: Francisco J. Colayco

Last September 7, our very own Kapatiran sa Kasaganaan Multi-Purpose Coop (KSK Coop) celebrated its 10th year anniversary! From a handful of passionate members, it has grown so much throughout the years. It already has 2000+ members ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

KSK Coop is a very unique cooperative. It provides alternative investing opportunities to income-earning Filipinos who want to protect and grow their hard-earned wealth. It mainly invests in profitable businesses and the members would benefit from the returns of those businesses.

For a brief overview of what KSK Coop is, allow me to share with you this clip from our season ender episode of Nang Magising si Juan.

“Nang Magising si Juan” Season Ender

The first season of Nang Magising si Juan ended last Aug. 10.  Look out for announcements on the second season by late August or early September.  Ariel went to Hong Kong with the CFE Team to attend an orientation of members of KsKCoop.  He had such a great time with them and Ariel realized how much sacrifices the OFWs in Hong Kong have been enduring through the years.

 

Ariel got a little emotional at end of the KSK Coop Orientation Seminar — with the following realization:’Na-realize ko, kung ito ngang mga kababayan natin — naghihirap at nagtitiyaga dito sa ibang bansa, malayo sa kanilang mga pamilya — ay kayang ayusin at harapin ang kanilang mga problemang pinansiyal, ako pa kaya na nasa sarili kong bansa at may maayos na trabaho. Nagising ako…

BEWARE OF THE LATEST SCAM

by: Art Ladaga

A few hours ago, a man named Peter Jay Abrico who pretended to be linked to a certain government institution, solicited money from them, promising to return their money TWO TIMES ITS WORTH a few days after. In some cases, Abrico also gave extra items like a television and a pajero! Investors became suspicious when most of them complained that they were not able to get their money back afterwards. Eventually, Abrico was captured in Makati.

Scams like this are very rampant. There are still those who fall prey to these false opportunities for a chance to “get rich quick.” Sadly, the only ones who get rich quick in these cases are the scammers. On the other hand, the victims are left deeply traumatized for giving away a huge amount of money. It will take a long time until they are able to get back up again.

At these times, the words of Mr. Francisco Colayco strongly reverberates: the quickest way to get rich is to GET RICH SLOW! If one does not accept this fact, then one will continue to fall prey to the hundreds of false “opportunities” around And the only way to distinguish an authentic wealth vehicle from a false one is summarized in two words: FINANCIAL LITERACY! Only with the right and timely information can you guard and grow your wealth properly, and not become a victim of financial scams.
