Over the week, may mga natanggap po akong mga email sa pamamagitan po ng ating blogsite using the email address "makabayangpilipino143@yahoo.com", and let me publish them here to keep you abreast of these developments.
I have tried to "hide" their personal details to keep their privacy, unless they will advise me to the contrary. Their emails are as follows:
From DONVERCAS, an electrical/instrumentation instructor and Oil & Gas Operation/maintenance Consultant:
“I was deeply touched with the makabayan ideas of yours and I hope this will happen soonest the better to have OFWBank that all over the world OFW will contribute mabuhay ka makabayangpilipino.
To be exact 30 years na akong OFW and I had a lot of ideas want to share with as well for the benefit of mankind. Regards and thank you.”
From DARYL of qdvc.com:
“sali ako dyan when do we start”
From Michelle Stone of pho_art:
“Hi there!!! Just want to register to receive “newsletters” if possible…Thanks a lot & God bless!!!”
From Andy P. of a known bank in New Zealand:
“Manigong Bagong Taon sa iyo, sa iyong pamilya at sa wider community na iyong kinapapalooban!
I’ll focus on clarifying your requirements. Basically, the site would be some sort of a forum/blog website with a touch of a social-media network engine (ala facebook). Some of the system/applications that would be built unto the site resembles that of a “virtual bank” where members would make deposit and withdrawal so as to mimic the updates on their actual savings or pledged capitals. All updates by its members are gathered real-time by the system and then publish the updates on a graphical form (something like a stakeholder report or financial statement). I could see the big picture and we could come up with that kind of web application. Though, there may be some technical limitations if hosted on a free site domain such as blogspot or twitter. A work-around is to host the other applications in some other domain sites and integrate it via URL on the main forum site and blog site. I’ve now started to integrate a forum unto a blog site in one of the free domains and hopefully be able to present it to you in the coming weeks.
As for my suggestions on the site building, we could also incorporate an auto-email subscription facility such that all members will be sent an email on regular updates, monthly report and forum topics. This will somehow encourage the members to get involved in the process and promote the site to their friends and relatives. The forum application could facilitate posting from its members either via online or via email since replying via email would be an easier way to voice their opinion. In addition, we could promote the site further by adding facilities for integration unto the wider social media networks such as facebook, twitter, linkedin, Friendster, etc… I think most of the OFWs would have an account on at least one of these social media channels. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
As for the blog site, since you are teaching financial literacy, I would also suggest if
we could post topics about financial literacy. This would help a lot of the OFWs and their families how to be good stewards of the blessings that they receive. We could post practical tips on how to save money and reduce expenses in our daily life. Those saving tips would somehow fast track their way to greater savings. It’s good that you had already started posting some of the business ideas that the proposed “OFW Bank” could explore. Financial literacy is a very sensitive topic and is not even included in the current Philippine educational system. Maybe this topic would help our OFW kababayans to start thinking how they are currently managing their money in general and eventually realize that they should start doing something now and change for the better.

I have a number of idea on the business plan but I will have to reserve it for future discussions. Ika nga eh, focus muna ako on the task-at-hand which is to build the website and the related applications and functionality on it.
Ako po ay nalulugod na malaman na kayo ay isang kapanalig sa pananampalataya. Kami po ng aking maybahay ay Kristiyano ding katulad nyo. Maganda ang simulain ng iyong ministeryo dyan sa atin at hangad ko ang tagumpay ng iyong mga activities at nawa ay patuloy na maging kalugod-lugod yaon sa harapan ng ating Panginoon. To God be the Glory! God Bless”
NOTE:
Mr. Andy P. has volunteered to help us in this effort by selflessly sharing us his expertise in banking and programming. Let’s keep him in our prayers.
Mr. Andy P., patuloy po kayong pagpalain ng Panginoon diyan sa inyong paghahanapbuhay sa New Zealand, at marami pong salamat sa inyong tulong at creative ideas, napupunan niyo po ang aking mga kakulangan at limitasyon.
All for the greater glory of God and the upliftment of the lives of our People! -- pilipino
From Chriz of Abu Dhabi, RE: http://www.aquaculture-israel.com/index.html...
“When I go home this February, my plan is to start up the business I told you I will first start with a simple one, when it thrives, I’l make sure it will prosper, just I’ve said while working here in the middle East, eto ang nagbukas sa atin na we can and we should do it, kahit di ka humingi ng tulong sa gobyerno if at first you could go underground do it first, please see attached pictures of my business plan. I’ll be starting with lobster production as food. See the idea here is first purchase breeders, one breeder can lay eggs from 100 up to 1000, from this brood stock you can produce more and eventually can generate lots of opportunities to venture,
1. Breeding
2. Food Production ( Fishball production – lobster as the main ingredient )
3. Carinderia which you can use the lobster as a special menu
4. Create employment
5. Technology transfer to other Filipino OFW’s who would want to join this business venture ( If you have friends who buys my idea please let me know because by February I’ll be getting first around 3 breeders which will be stocked for breeding in an aquarium, ones it lays eggs I’ll go on fish pond production, I’ll also start a vermiculture venture (earthworms) which I will be using as food for the lobsters.
If we could form a group the better para mas malaki ung mahihiram natin, Nasa akin na lahat ng modules which I will be needing for this undertaking, just let me know if you happen to know some of your friends who may want to join us, lets create a special facebook account where we could chat and share ideas. Wala naman mawawala if we have the guts and determination to succeed and eventually go back to our beloved country to achieve our goals and that is to uplift oneself and help others.
Maraming salamat and advance happy new year kabayang Nicholas. There will be lots of opportunities with this project, it could invade exportation basta tama yung mga taong magtutulungan to push thru with this project. Happy New Year!!!”
NOTE:
For those of you who are interested to keep in touch with Chriz about his business ideas, feel free to contact him thru his email (c.rimando@epiuae.ae) -- pilipino
