Madiskarteng Moms, Narito na ang Back-to-School Tips na Pasok sa Budget at Gaan sa Buhay!

MANILA, Philippines – There’s a unique kind of excitement when a new school year begins—fresh notebooks, new faces, and plenty of opportunities for our kids to learn and grow. But let’s be real—back-to-school season also brings a whole lot of pressure.

Kaya naman dito talaga natin nahuhugot ang pagiging madiskarteng nanay. Budgeting becomes second nature as we try to balance all the costs. Pero kahit gaano pa tayo kahusay mag-manage, minsan mapapaisip ka talaga: “May mas madali bang paraan?” “Paano ko mapapagaan ang mga kailangan para sa anak ko—at para sa akin?”

The good news? You don’t have to figure everything out on your own. May mga paraan para gawing mas magaan ang gastos at mas simple ang buhay—so you can focus on what matters most: being there for your kids.

At the end of the day, it’s not about doing more, but doing things smarter. If you’ve ever felt the stress of this season, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Here’s how you can take some of the pressure off with these practical, budget-friendly diskarte:

1. Ubusan ng oras sa school supplies? Heto ang bilis tipid tip:

Kapag patapos na ang bakasyon, sabay-sabay ang kailangang asikasuhin—uniforms, shoes, notebooks, at kung anu-ano pa. Nakakapagod at ubos-oras lalo na kung palipat-lipat ka ng tindahan.

But moms, here’s a hack—Scan to Pay with GCash sa mga stores nationwide! Fast, cashless, and convenient. And if you're a Laking National member, you get ₱200 off for a ₱1,000 minimum purchase at National Bookstore when you pay via GCash. Instant tipid!

No time to go out? No worries! Shop online on Lazada and pay with GCash to unlock exclusive deals for all your school needs—sulit at safe pa!

Even if it’s not sweldo week, you’re covered with GCredit—GCash’s built-in credit line powered by CIMB. Kaya kahit gipit, makakabili ka pa rin ng school supplies for your kids, worry-free!

2. Napapaisip ka kung saan huhugot pang-tuition?

We all know tuition is one of the biggest school-related gastos—at sabay-sabay pa 'yan with other monthly bills. But don’t panic—GLoan is here to help.

With GLoan, you can instantly borrow up to ₱150,000—walang collateral, walang additional paperwork. Enjoy flexible terms with interest rates as low as 1.59% per month, so you can settle tuition and other expenses without the stress.
