MAYNILA - Apektado ng ipatutupad na community quarantine sa Metro Manila ang mga manggagawang taga-probinsiya na sinabihan na daw ng kanilang employers na posible silang mawalan ng hanapbuhay.

Kuwento ng manggagawa na si Alex Geraya, pinatigil muna sila sa pagtatrabaho kaya uuwi muna siya sa Lucena.

"Papatawag na lang daw kami," ani Geraya.

Nagpasya umano siyang umuwi dahil sa dumaraming kaso ng coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) sa bansa. Mas gugustuhin na lang daw niya na umuwi sa probinsiya kapiling ang pamilya.

May ilan ding natanggal sa trabaho, gaya ng factory worker na si Alwin Ardales, dahil sa epekto ng COVID-19 sa mga kompanya.

Wala ring ipon si Ardales kaya ibinenta niya ang pinaghirapang motorsiklo para may pantustos sa isang buwan na walang kabuhayan.

Nauna nang nilinaw ng pamahalaan na papayagang maglabas-masok sa Metro Manila ang mga trabahador o negosyante basta't may katibayan ng employment at negosyo.

Ipatutupad ang community quarantine sa Metro Manila simula Marso 15, Linggo at magtatapos sa Abril 14, Martes bilang hakbang upang hindi kumalat ang COVID-19 sa bansa.

Nitong Sabado, 98 na ang naitalang positibo sa COVID-19 sa bansa, at 8 na ang namatay.

For many millennials, financial matters—especially investing—may feel overwhelming. As you start to build your career and establish yourself, the vision of a financially secure future is clear, yet seemingly unreachable. This stems from what is known as aspirational paralysis: you may have a clear idea of where you want to be, but you have not taken the necessary steps to get there. It is not that you lack the resources, but the short-term priorities often take precedence. Whether it is the allure of the latest gadgets, dining out, entertainment, or travel, these immediate gratifications often overshadow the long-term benefits of investing, leaving you caught in a cycle of spending instead of saving and growing your wealth.


The good news is that building wealth does not have to be complicated nor expensive. With the right tools and knowledge, you may take small, actionable steps to build a solid financial foundation that grows over time.

As millennials, you are at a pivotal point in your life: building your career, finding your footing, and shaping your future. Which is why now is the ideal time to start investing. Just like your career, your wealth may grow and evolve over time, and the earlier you begin, the more time you will have to build the future you want. It is important to remember that overcoming aspirational paralysis starts with taking action today—because even the smallest steps may make a significant impact on your financial future, putting you in control of the life you envision.

Here are a few reasons why you should start thinking of your financial future today:

1. Grow your wealth with a long timeframe – The sooner you start investing, the more you may benefit from compounding returns, which increase your wealth over time. Ever heard the saying, "The early bird catches the worm"? In finance and investing, the same rule applies: the early investor may gain more over time.

2. You have the ability to learn from your mistakes – Starting early gives you the time and opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them. When the time comes that you have a large income to invest, you are more likely to have developed a better understanding and appreciation of investments, giving you the confidence to invest more.

3. You do not need a lot of money to start investing – You may begin with a small amount, investing what you can while managing your immediate expenses . As you gain good control of your finances, gradually increase your investments and build good habits by regularly setting aside money to build a strong financial future.

4. Prepare for life changes – Investing early helps you build a strong financial foundation for important life events, such as buying a home or starting a family. Remember, your future self will thank you for starting early.
