Phaw and I
I received a comment some days back asking why I always used the 3rd person view when publishing posts in my blog. This got me thinking and from now on I will be interchanging between the 3rd and 1st person view, Phaw and I.

How to Withdraw Money from Paypal in the Philippines
Phaw was looking for a bank that he can transact with and open a savings account and took Unionbank as an option. This became an option because he already had an account with Unionbank, thru the EON visa card. He used this card before to be able to send and receive payments for one of his first online business ventures(the .WS domain networking business…).
He searched the internet to further research on Unionbank accounts and to his pleasant surprise, Unionbank cardholders can now withdraw funds from their Paypal account thru their Unionbank account! This is good news for Phaw since there are affiliate programs out there that send payments thru Paypal. However, this is neither good or bad news for those who earn thru Adsense since Google doesn’t send payments thru Paypal 
(this might have something to do with Google having their own system call the GoogleCheckout…).
But this is certainly good news for those affiliate marketers in the Philippines who receive their payments thru Paypal! This would also motivate those Filipino affiliate marketers who hesitate to promote programs that only pay thru Paypal. The benefits that Phaw sees for affiliate marketers in the Philippines are:
- Receiving payment for affiliate program transactions would be faster
- E-commerce(thru affiliate marketing) participation might develop further thus giving Filipinos another source of income
Well, in a nutshell, this is how the Paypal-Unionbank would work for affiliate marketers:
- Open a Unionbank account(either EON or E-wallet accounts…)
- Enroll the Unionbank account to online banking
- Open a Paypal account (for those without Paypal yet of course)
- Add the Unionbank account to the list of banks Paypal can transact with
- Withdraw money from Paypal via Unionbank
To know the detail by detail step of this, you can check the Unionbank website itself: Unionbank-Paypal.

Gmail for Free!
Phaw still has 99 gmail accounts to give away for free! If you want your own cooool Gmail account, just post your email address in the comments section and I will invite you for a free Gmail account!!
With all its cool and oh so helpful features, why is Gmail free? The same reason Yahoo mail is free(or at least a portion of it…). Both parties want want and need a potential customer base stemming from those free email accounts. It would go something like this, Google gives free email then email subscriber uses email, then the user sees other cool Google products(which are not free), then user thinks that since I am using gmail for free and the other Google products are cool and useful, why not try and use it? And that is money in the pocket for Google.
But Phaw believes that Google is really deserving money for all their effort. In fact, Phaw is a fan of Google products! Google has come up with many products which are not only cool but unique and useful. There is Google Suggest which helps googlers find relative search terms while typing and also the Google Docs which you can access even in the Antartic region(that was overated hehe…) just to name a few. The point is Google products are useful to our everyday life.
Phaw doesn’t know why he is promoting Google but Phaw guesses that it is because he likes Google products 
. To wrap-up, if anyone needs a free Gmail account, just send me a message or post your needs thru the comments section.
Ciao!
