This Mother’s Day, CIMB Bank Philippines—awarded Best Digital Bank by The Asian Banker—honors the practical money-saving wisdom passed down from Filipino moms to their children. These simple but powerful lessons continue to guide many of us through life’s everyday financial decisions.
💡 Timeless Tips from Mom
Hunting for the Best Deals is a Skill
“I’ve always admired how my mom, a self-proclaimed shopaholic, could sniff out the best ‘buy one, take one’ deals and sales anywhere. She taught me that there’s no shame in bargain hunting—getting the most out of every peso means you can indulge without overspending. Now, I use that same mindset for online shopping, from cashbacks and free shipping to rewards points. These little savings add up!”
– Julie, 35
Look Around Before You Buy
“Long before ‘we have that at home’ became a meme, my mama was already preaching it. She’d always remind me to check if we already had something—or could borrow it—before spending money. Turns out, our home was full of surprise treasures, from extra appliances to rarely used clothes. It saved me time, money, and unnecessary clutter.”
– Ariel, 31
Sleep on It Before You Spend
“My mom was the queen of budgeting. Now that I’m a mom too, I understand why she always told me to think twice before buying anything non-essential. I’ve learned to wait before making a purchase, which helps me evaluate if I truly need it—or if there’s a cheaper or better option. More often than not, I skip it altogether and save the money instead.”
– Angel, 31
Invest for the Future—Start Early
“My nanay never believed in depending on her kids for retirement. She was a firm believer in financial independence and passive income. She encouraged us to build multiple income streams early on. Thanks to her advice, I’ve invested in real estate and now enjoy passive earnings that help future-proof my finances.”
– Selena, 41
