Although I do not aspire for the little man to be a rich man in his time {okay, probably just a little!}, I do want for him to be entrepreneurial and money-wise. This is why I am all for teaching him to be adept at handling money even at an early age. He may think we’re merely playing counting numbers as I encourage him to aim those coins onto his coin bank, but I am actually instilling in him the value of money and saving up. If he can carry on the habit to his teenage and adult life, I will such a happy mum!
Exposing the little one to activities that promote financial literacy and inspire entrepreneurial attitude in children is also a good way to introduce the concept of money and proper handling of it to kids and Junior Preneur is a perfect venue for this. When we attended their bazaar last year, we were treated to fun activities and the little man find it such a treat visiting booths that were managed and manned by children. We had such a nice experience, in fact, that we’re looking forward to the next Junior Preneur event which is slated on 13 April this year, still at the People’s Village in Tiendesitas, Pasig City.

FILA, the brand that features innovation while still taking its cues from a rich and storied past, pull out all the stops as they salute 2013 with the highly-anticipated Brazilian Carnival-themed FILA Polo Cup!
The FILA Polo Cup 2013 took place on 10 February at plush Forbes Park’s The Manila Polo Club. The annual event kicks off with the Low Goal game at 2pm, followed by the High Goal game at 4pm. Festivities, with more glitz that ever before, took place after at 6pm. Brazilian-born actor and FILA endorser Fabio Ide, aced the hosting duties, as Guarana, the Escola de Samba de Manila Dancers, the Maracuja Dancers, and Talentadong Pinoy Hall-of-Famer Astroboy, entertained everyone who attends the colorful event.

Many of Manila’s finest graced the momentous occasion, including fellow FILA endorsers endorsers Georgina Wilson, Borgy Manotoc, Tim Yap, and FILA’s first couple, president and CEO of FILA Philippines Cris Albert and husband and company chairman, Butch Albert, who also happens to be celebrating his birthday this month of hearts.
the fierce, Astroboy!
The Brazilian Carnival concept came full circle with the enthralling performances by Guarana, the country’s leading proponents of traditional and authentic Bossa Nova and Samba. The Escola de Samba de Manila, founded by the same brilliant minds behind Guarana, has taken unto itself the task of bringing Brazilian Carnival to the event with their bright, festive colors and infectious, pulsating rhythms, the closest we can get to experience an authentic Mardi Gras festival without leaving the country!
Manila’s premiere hoop artist and Talentadong Pinoy Grand Champion, Astroboy, did not disappoint with his fiery display of fierceness. This 2011-2012 Talentadong Pinoy Hall of Famer is largely self-taught, learning the art of the hula-hoop in Paris, and honing his talent as part of the New York-based troupe The Gyronauts.
You’d ask, why Brazilian Carnival? Simply because nothing beats the Brazilian method when it comes to emotion, color, atmosphere, and sheer over-the-top joyous celebration. This is a perfect welcome for FILA’s bigger direction in 2013. FILA, the oldest and wisest of the brands, has stayed true to boldness, color, and design, throughout its history. Fans and enthusiasts alike can look forward to more of this in the new year, but elevated to a whole new level.
