How to Enroll Your BPI Trade Account to BPIExpressOnline

I said in a previous post how a book authored by Bo Sanchez convinced me to invest in the Philippine Stock Exchange. The name of that book is “My Maid Invests in the Stock Market…”

I discovered that I am not the only one who is interested in the stock exchange. Many of my officemates are already playing in the stock exchange. Some of them chose the risky trading in exchange for short term income. The other group of Philippine Stock Exchange players wants minimum investment risk. The latter group of investors thinks more about the long term benefit. I joined the “minimum risk” group because the money that I will earn from my investments will go to my retirement fund.

Fortunately, the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has a website that is for exclusive use of those who play in the Philippine Stock Exchange. This website or portal is the BPI Trade. The good thing with BPI Trade is that it can be connected to a BPIExpressOnline account. This makes funding my BPI Trade account easy.

Connecting or enrolling your BPI Trade account to your BPIExpressOnline account is easy. Here are the steps:

1. Log-in to your BPI Trade account. Go to your “Portfolio” and copy your “Settlement Account” number.

Videos of Lolong the Giant Buwaya

Lolong is the largest crocodile as declared by National Geographic and Guinness Book of World Record. Because of this, the giant buwaya or crocodile caught a lot of attention from international and local media. Newspapers and news website have articles for Lolong.

With all the “fame” that Lolong got it is not surprising that a lot of people caught him on camera. Here is one video from ABS-CBN:
.

This video shows Lolong bound from head to tail as he is transferred to his litter. The ropes ensured that Lolong will not eat up his captors.

Here is another video which shows Lolong being put into a sedation:
.

The sedation was done inside Lolong’s cage in Bunawan Nature Park.

Another video shows what happened during the visit of Guiness Book of World Record Team to Bunawan. The team measured Lolong so as to confirm his length. Here is the video:
.

Another video came from GMA Channel’s 24 Hours (Bente Kwatro Oras) news program:
.

Lolong is really large! People are torn if this crocodile should resume its captivity or be released to Agusan Marsh, which is the natural home of crocodiles in the town of Bunawan. What do you think? Is it right to release Lolong?

A Tool for Easier Film Production Management


Many moviegoers do not understand how movies are made. Some of them only think of what they saw during the two hours or more of the show. What they do not understand is the lot of process that movies go through before they are delivered to the theatres and movie houses. What is shown in movie houses is just a very small portion of movie making, which can last for many months.

Excellent movies are not made in a fortnight. It took months of conceptualization, planning and the actual filming. Then comes the tedious part of post-production, which is much longer than the actual shooting of the film. Making movies is complicated that’s why many movie producers turn to film production app to ease their worries.

Film production app is a tool being used for the management of film production. There are many kinds of film production apps but the most modern or most high-tech are the cloud based film production management tools or apps. Cloud-based film production app helps film producers in hiring movie crews, cast talents and search for suitable shoot locations. It also helps scheduling film production and organizing the different teams working on the film. In short, cloud-based film production app is a multi-purpose tool that makes the life of movie producer easier.

Visit this film making blog to know more about the cloud-based film production app. All kinds of movie producers will get a lot of information from that blog.

If you are an independent film producer or a producer from a multi-million dollar studio, I suggest that you check the cloud-based film production app. Maybe this tool is what you need to improve your movie making process.
