Get 30% off on Pediasure, Similac, Ensure, and Glucerna bundles from Abbott this Shopee's 7.7 Mid-Year Sale

Taking care of one's family is not a walk in the park. With the ongoing threat of the pandemic and the continuous price increase of gas and commodities, one must learn to be "madiskarte." This is why I try to budget and save as much as I could since nowadays, every peso counts.

However, I don't scrimp when it comes to my family's healthcare. I make sure that I still give them the best including especially our milk. There is no point in buying the cheapest option as it will defeat the purpose of why we even take them. Instead, we have to be "madiskarte" and just maximize the sales and online promos offered in Shopee in that way, we can still afford to give them the best without hurting our wallets.

July appears to be exciting and full of hope. With a lot of events happening in the next few weeks and the new administration starting office today, I feel hopeful as I pray for the best for our country. 

The beginning of a new month made me think and reflect on what I can do as an ordinary Filipino to help and contribute to nation-building...

One is of course fulfilling our obligation as a taxpayer thus, the release of this new book, Decoding Property Transfers and Taxes today, July 1st is very timely and relevant. 


This book is authored by Atty. Nelson Gargoles, CPA, a Former BIR Revenue Officer for 15 years and Former Tax Senior Manager-Punongbayan and Araullo. Currently, he is the President of Gargoles Law Office and Gargoles Training and Consultancy Services, OPC as well as the tax and legal consultant on a retainership basis for Quezon City and Paranaque City Government and various private companies. 

This book, Decoding Property Transfers and Taxes is a Comprehensive Guide to Real Property and Shares of Stock Transfers, Estate Planning, and Estate Tax Amnesty. It is highly recommended for property owners and consultants, tax practitioners, and future property owners and investors. 

The topics covered in this book are as follows: 
  • Exclusive Property or Absolute Community of Property/Conjugal Partnership of Gains
  • Importance of Estate Planning

In fact, this is actually the second book by Atty. Gargoles. In 2020, he also wrote the bestselling book, Decoding BIR Tax Enforcement, Assessment and Collection which is so helpful for business owners, accountants, and tax practitioners. Here are some of the reader testimonials of his first book.
