February 12, 2024 by Ray L. Leave a Comment

Want to know the AFPSLAI Capital Contribution Account (CCA) dividend release schedule for 2024? You can check it out here! By the way, I had a much better experience on this year’s withdrawal attempt thanks to the AFPSLAI ATM Card. Instead of the usual four or five hour wait time from the numbered queue, I was done in less than 10 minutes. While I still needed to commute to the branch, AFPSLAI did announce that they will someday connect it to Bancnet which will let us withdraw from almost any ATM in the Philippines. If you want to get your own card, you can read our guide on how to get an AFPSLAI ATM card on this link.

Alam mo ba na mayroon nang ATM card ang AFPSLAI? Kung nais mong magkaroon noon, narito ang ang isang maikling guide para makakuha ka rin noon!

Kung ikaw ay nakapag-ipon at nag-invest ng pera sa AFPSLAI (ang Armed Forces and Police Savings and Loans Association, Inc.), malamang alam mo na ang tungkol sa kanilang mga passbook. Alam mo na rin kung paano over-the-counter ang pag-withdraw ng pera, pati na rin ang iba pang mga transaksyon tulad noon. Dahil manual o mano-mano ang mga proseso, madalas mas-mabagal ang mga transaksyon kumpara sa mga ordinaryong banko.

Noong ika-11 ng Abril, 2023, inilabas ng AFPSLAI ang kanilang ATM card para pwede nang makapag-withdraw ng pera gamit ang kanilang lokal na automated teller machines (ATMs). Kumpara sa passbook, ang sistemang iyon ay higit na nagpapabilis at nagpapadali sa pag-withdraw at pag-check ng iyong balanse. Isa pang mabuting balita, plano nilang i-link ang sistema nila sa Bancnet para pwede mo nang magamit ang iyong AFPSLAI ATM card sa halos kahit anong ATM ng sa ating bansa.

Kung ang AFPSLAI branch na pinupuntahan mo ay may kakayahang mag-print ng mga cards na iyon at mayroon na din silang ATM sa kanilang gusali, edi bakit hindi ka na rin kumuha nito? Magiging mas madali ang pag-withdraw ng pera. Kung nais mong kumuha ng AFPSLAI ATM card (na iyo ring AFPSLAI ID), narito ang ilang mga bagay na kailangan mong malaman.

Did you know that AFPSLAI now has an ATM card? If you want one too, then here’s a short guide on how to get your own!

If you’ve saved and invested your money in AFPSLAI (the Armed Forces and Police Savings and Loans Association, Inc.), then you probably already know about their passbooks and how withdrawals and most of their other transactions are over the counter. Because a lot of things are done manually, transactions are usually slower than most banks.

Last April 11, 2023, AFPSLAI finally launched their ATM card which will let you withdraw money from your accounts using their local automated teller machines (ATMs). Compared to the passbook, that system makes withdrawals and balance inquiries so much faster and more convenient. What’s even better is that they plan to link their system to Bancnet which will allow you to use your AFPSLAI ATM card on just about any ATM in the Philippines.

If the AFPSLAI branch that you go to can print those cards and if they also have an ATM in the building, then why not get one for yourself? It will make withdrawals so much easier. If you want to get your AFPSLAI ATM card (which is also your AFPSLAI ID), then here’s what you need to know.

Paano Baguhin ang Pagtrato sa Iyo: Ang Galatea at Pygmalion Effect

July 20, 2023 by Ray L. Leave a Comment

Alam natin na ang pagkilos at pagreact ng ibang tao ay sumasang-ayon sa kung paano natin sila tratuhin, ngunit iilan lang sa atin ang nakakaunawa na ang pagiisip natin tungkol sa ibang tao ay nakaaapekto rin sa pagtrato nila sa atin. Kahit gumagana minsan ang pambobola at pagbibigay ng mga regalo (suhol), madalas pwedeng pumalya ang ganoong kaplastikan dahil nakukutoban ito ng iba. Kung nais nating gumanda ang pagtrato sa atin ng ibang tao, narito ang isang napakahalagang aral tungkol sa sikolohiya o psychology na kailangan nating matutunan.

Noong unang panahon sa Greece…

…sa isla ng Cyprus, doon namumuhay ang kanilang hari na nagngangalang Pygmalion. Bukod sa pagiging hari, siya rin ay isang dalubhasang eskultor. Isang araw, naisipan niyang mageskulto ng isang istatuwa mula sa garing o ivory. Itong istatuwang ito ay simbolo mula sa kaniyang imahe ng perpektong babae. Noong natapos niya ang kanyang obra maestra, sobrang ganda ng istatuwang kaniyang ginawa na nahulog ang kaniyang damdamin. Araw araw niya itong inalagaan na parang ito ay tunay na babae.

Isang araw, sa fiesta ni Aphrodite na diyosa ng pag-ibig, palihim na hiniling ni Haring Pygmalion na magkaroon siya ng asawang katulad ng kaniyang nilikhang istatuwa. Pag uwi niya sa kaniyang palasyo, hinalikan niya ang istatuwa at naramdaman niyang mainit-init ang labi nito. Noong hinalikan niya ito uli, naramdaman niyang ito ay malambot, tulad ng labi ng isang tao. Binuhay pala ni diyosang Aphrodite ang istatuwa, at ito ay naging perpektong babae. Ikinasal sila ni Pygmalion at bumuo sila ng pamilya. Ang babaeng istatuwa ay kilala ngayon sa pangalang Galatea.

Ang alamat na iyon ay ginamit na inspirasyon ng mga modernong sikolohista para pangalanan ang dalawang konsepto tungkol sa sa mga self-fulfilling prophecies: Ang Pygmalion Effect, at ang Galatea Effect. Eto ang kanilang depinisyon ayon sa Oxford:

(Dagdag kaalaman: Ang mga self-fulfilling prophecies ay ang ating mga hula tungkol sa kinabukasan na, namamalayan man natin o hindi, tayo mismo ang nagpapatupad.)

Change How People Treat You: The Galatea and Pygmalion Effect

July 7, 2023 by Ray L. Leave a Comment

Most of us know that people act and react differently depending on how we treat them, but few of us actually understand that how we think about others will ALSO subconsciously affect how they treat us. While manipulation with flattery and gifts (bribes) can sometimes work, that kind of fakery can backfire as people can sense it. If we want to improve how other people treat us, then here’s a valuable psychology lesson that we have to learn.

Once upon a time, in ancient Greece…

…on the island of Cyprus, there lived its king named Pygmalion, who was an extremely talented sculptor. One day, he decided to sculpt an ivory statue of a woman representing his ideal of womanhood. Upon completing his masterpiece, the statue that King Pygmalion made was so beautiful that he himself fell in love with it. He cared for it daily, as if it was a real woman.

One day, on the festival of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, King Pygmalion secretly made a wish—to have a wife, just like his ivory girl. As he went home, he kissed his statue and felt that its lips were warm. As he kissed it again, the statue was now soft like human flesh. The Goddess Aphrodite had given it life, and it had become his perfect woman. They soon got married and started a family. That woman later became known as Galatea.

Modern psychologists have used this legend as an inspiration for naming two psychological concepts on self-fulfilling prophecies: The Pygmalion Effect, and the Galatea Effect. Here’s how they’re defined according to Oxford:
