Globe would like to remind the public to be aware of phishing emails and malicious campaigns taking advantage of the COVID-19 situation to steal money and personal or corporate information, as well as infect computers. Here are some cybersecurity measures to protect yourself from these scams: DO NOT open malicious email attachments or click on dubious links in messages. Check links by hovering on them before you click to determine where the actual URL leads to. Read emails and texts carefully and be on the lookout for red flags such as generic greetings, spelling, and grammatical errors. Be wary of any form of communication that asks for your personal information, account credentials, or PINs, most especially those that try to convey urgency to make you act on impulse to enter your personal information. Be sure to get news/information from trusted and official social media news sites only. Share this to your loved ones and friends! #makeITsafePH

As another decade is almost closing (just a few more days!), I can't help but think about what's to come. The what if's. How our lives would be, how me and my kids would survive, what if without me in their future? Then I thought, what if something happens to me today? Tomorrow? The next day? I don't have a fat bank account to leave behind. What will they do that instant? Will they at least get by the coming days until they figure things out for themselves? As a parent (specially a solo-parent like me) - these things should at least cross your mind, don't you think? Their security, their survival, their living without you in the picture taking care of things. As Oxford defines the word "insurance" - it states:  a practice or arrangement by which a company or government agency provides a guarantee of compensation for specified loss, damage, illness, or death. Is your family (the people you'll leave behind) ready? Are your kids secured at-least f
