Saving up for motherhood

 

MOTHERHOOD is perhaps one of the most difficult yet fulfilling part of a woman’s life because of the huge responsibility it entails, especially in raising a child to be the best person that he can be.

Hence, it would be wise to prepare for this vocation the moment she learns of that new life living inside her. The usual preparations should begin during pregnancy– from pre-natal checkups along with getting enough nutrition for the baby’s development, to choosing the best facility for childbirth, getting post-natal care, and saving up for the expenses that come with the addition of a new family member.

SINGAPORE—Social media has become an even bigger part of consumers’ lives in today’s hyper-connected world. Users are finding more ways to play, interact, work and even monetize content through social media. Asia Pacific, presently the world’s largest mobile region[1], accounts for over half of the globe’s social media users[2]. The social media explosion has not only changed the lives of hyper-connected consumers, it has also caused a rippling effect throughout its ecosystem—businesses, network infrastructure, communication providers and more.

THE past month has seen a build-up in anti-China rabble-rousing in the local media, led by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, on China’s South China Sea/West Philippine Sea (SCS/WPS) constructions. It peaked as US and Western media joined in concert, following a headline on US ambassador Philip Goldberg’s condolence for the Special Action Force (SAF) 44 amid the latest Mamasapano hearings in Congress that highlighted US involvement.

Anti-China propaganda belaboring that country’s SCS/WPS constructions were already drummed up a year ago, and we probably won’t see the end of it for many years to come.
