Carmina began exploring inside the application try to figure out how people earn money. Do you earn money from Poppo? I would like to be honest those who don't mind cash flow being slow paced. Yes, you can earn money from Poppo only if you're active. What does it mean being active? Active is when you do your daily task which is sitting down at a party which each hour is 800 points.

Pasalubong (gifts) to bring to the Philippines and bring back abroad
















Now, that you have decided to visit the Philippines for vacation or any other purpose. I will give you an advise what pasalubong (gifts) to give back home and what to buy for your family returning back abroad.

If, you have relatives who are having a difficult time raising a family or financially. The best gift to give is not just money, but hand me downs. Filipino people love clothes from designer brands, leather goods and shoes. They love anything knowing it came from another country.


You can always give your old phones that is no longer under your phone contract. Don't just throw it away. Filipino people can use it here as long you can put the Sim card. As long it doesn't come from the carrier Verizon. It will be useful. 

They can just unlock the phone and use the Sim card from the Philippines.


If, your old phone are damage and has been soak in water. No problem it can be repaired for a lesser price from your country.


Filipino also love chocolate coming from the United States. Our chocolate doesn't taste the same. Most people buy it during the holidays when they are on sale from Valentine, Easter, Halloween and Christmas. As long they are not expired they are still eatable.


If, you travel a lot and receive those shampoo, condition, body lotion, body soap, comb, toothbrush from the hotel. Bring them along it is great use to give it away.
