In today's society, we tend to do a lot of online work/leisure to make the most of our time. And facebook is one of the things that takes a large chunk of our time. Sometimes, we need to be logged on almost all day just to keep ourselves updated, and even also do games.

They are real human finance experts with different backgrounds but with great financial finesse. You can also create a appointment with a branch near you to assist you will  further services.

Try it yourself now, and this time , you don't have to log out of facebook to make you online banking questions!

REEL DEAL: The Watch - Jonah Hill SPOTLIGHT

Jumpstreet's Jonah Hill in Another Outrageous Comedy - THE WATCH

After debuting in the comedy “I Heart Huckabees,” Jonah Hill has steadily posited himself as a solid hilarious support in the string of his movies that followed.  Appearing afterwards in acclaimed hits like “The 40-Year Old Virgin,” “Knocked Up,” “Superbad,” “Forgettting Sarah Marshall,” “Get Him to the Greek,” “Moneyball” and the most recent “21 Jump Street” with Channing Tatum which is Hill’s highest grossing film after “Superbad.”

His latest movie “The Watch” which is about to open in cinemas this September 5 (in Phils. cinemas) allowed him to work with Ben Stiller, one of moviedom’s great comic talents.  In “The Watch,”  four suburban guys formed a patrol which they tagged as ‘Neighborhood Watch’ after a mysterious incident left a security guard lifeless in the town’s superstore Costco.  Headed by the civic minded Evan (Ben Stiller), he recruits fun-loving family guy Bob (Vince Vaughn), tough-talking ‘wild card’ Franklin (Jonah Hill) and the recent divorcé Jamarcus (Richard Ayoade).

MUSIC LYF: Tonight Alive

What Are You So Scared Of? It’s an unlikely tale. Rising from the fevered hotbed of Sydney, Australia’s underground hardcore scene, boy meets girl. Or rather, two boys meet girl to make kick-ass rock music. Try to keep up – the story goes something like this…

Guitarist Whakaio Taahi and his compadre bass player, Cameron Adler, needed a frontman for a rock project. Scrap that. Frontwoman. Enter ingénue-with-attitude, Jenna McDougall – as soon as the sixteen-year-old songstress’ soaring contralto and sweet strains took the mic to their songs, something clicked. Already onboard, rhythm axeman Jake Hardy and new recruit, drummer Matt Best – a childhood buddy of Whakaio’s. One jam later, the writing was on the wall. Tonight Alive were up and running, pedal to the metal.

REEL DEAL: I Do Bidoo Bidoo Presscon

Unitel Pictures and Studio 5 brings this year the most festive movie musical of the year with “I DO BI DOO BIDOO” featuring the hits of the APO Hiking Society, written and directed by hitmaker Chris Martinez. Starring a star studded cast  of Ogie Alcasid, Gary Valenciano, Eugene Domingo, Zsazsa Padilla, Sam Concepcion, Tippy Dos Santos, Neil Coleta, Kiray Celis, Gerald Pesigan, and Sweet Plantado.

With a great array of the hits of the Apo Hiking Society, integrated into a great love story with a great cast makes it a movie to watch out for. 

The movie centers on the 'pamamanhikan' in the life of the young bride and groom to be – an event that every Filipino family has to or will inevitably experience. A rich girl from the province, Tracy Fuentebella, and a poor boy from Manila, Rock Polotan, arranged a meeting of their two families – the Polotans and the Fuentebellas - before getting married, resulting in a disaster of “movie musical” proportions!
