Debt Resolution ...From Mind to Action...

Are You Clueless How To Face Up with Your Financial Issues? Begin with Your Mindset.



Our mindset conversion, which was the first step in our resurrection from debt, wouldn’t have much impact if we didn’t proceed to the next step: the execution part. You need to act because the “aha” moment doesn’t last long and means nothing unless you put your learning into action.

How do you plan and execute? Imagine building your dream house on weak foundations. What do you think will happen if an earthquake shakes it up? Could your house withstand the tremors? Will it stay erect? The answer is definitely a resounding no. The same goes with executing a financial strategy. It must be founded on solid rock, covering the possibilities or the “ifs” of life. The first “if” is: What if I die too soon? The second “if” is: What if I live too long?

There are three financial planning concepts that Fely and I used in crafting a strong and stable plan that can withstand unforeseen events of life. These are concepts we learned from the International Marketing Group .

Build a Solid Financial Foundation. This concept helped us to prioritize our investment allocations.

Apply the X-Curve Concept. This is a planning tool that helps you cover the possibilities in life.

Pay Yourself First. This is the most important concept Fely and I learned that allowed us to have cash flow to fund our solid financial foundation and plan.

We would like to share with you more on a one on one basis.

Asset vs Liabilities

Many Are Confused About Assets vs Liabilities. 




A major lesson Fely and I learned was about proper appreciation of what real assets are. “Assets are things or property that put money into our pocket.” This definition was taken from Robert Kiyosaki’s bestseller, Rich Dad Poor Dad and it totally changed how we decide to buy anything. Based on this key learning, Fely and I first assess if what we buy will put money into our pocket. If it won’t, then we ask the second question: Do we really really need it or can we live without it? Do we want it for a purpose or out of pride?

Ordinary People With Extra Ordinary Stories!

Can An Ordinary Person Become Great Inspiration?


Three people in IMG injected us with great INSPIRATION! Two ordinary women that started out in this business as ordinary housewives, and our WSB Head Coach, Xuan Nguyen.

Fely and I first met Shirley San Miguel in one of the IMG Training Conventions we attended in our early years in the business. Ma’am Shirley, as we fondly call her, shared her experiences in her mission in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. She told of the plight of Filipino domestic helpers (DH) in Hong Kong who work all their lives abroad but continue to struggle financially when they return to the Philippines. She’s an ordinary housewife who took on the challenge to help change the lives of DHs in that part of the world.

Another lady who continues to inspire us in this mission is Cathy Borja. She started in this business like Ma’am Shirley — ordinary housewife turned full-time missionary. And you will be amazed at how successful she is in her mission. She has built her business across the globe. And yes, she earns very well!

Xuan Nguyen, a Vietnamese refugee in the US, is the person responsible for bringing the IMG business and mission to the Philippines. Fely and I have met him up close and personal. He first set foot in the Philippines as a refugee during the Vietnam War. Fely and I have never met anyone as wise, kind-hearted and mission-driven as he is. He expanded our vision of the business and made us see the potential for big income. But more importantly, he made clear that the main reason for us to do this mission is to change people’s lives — starting with our own families.

You can Rise from Debts!

Are You Buried In DEBTS? There is Hope.




Fely and I are engineers and we had great jobs earning for us six figure income! But we ended up still with seven figure Credit Card Debts ! We are Financially Stupid and we are on denial that we had debt problems.


In 2007 We attended the Financial Coaching of Bro Bo and admitted to ourselves we needed help. After less than 4 years we were able to eliminate our 7 figure 7 credit card debts!

We detailed our journey out of debt on our book. I am sure it will help those in similar situation.

Thankful for the publication of our first book "Risen From Debt" (Initial Title) DEBT DESTROYERS (Final Title).
Our Book was Published right on my 60th Birthday  September 5, 2016. We had our Book Launch in Feast Bay Area, and Feast Makati!

Simplified and Correct Investing with 20PHP Top Up!!!

A Lot Of People Don't Know That You Can Top Up Investments as Low as 20PHP! 

Do you want to Simplify Investing?
Do you want to do it Complete, Integrated and Solid?




Fely and I lost a lot of opportunity due to our lack of know-how in investing in the tune of more than 100M Php! Our parents did not know proper and integrated approach to investing any better. Our orientation is to study hard, get good employment income and retire from the company we will work in and enjoy the retirement money afterwards. 

Investing was not given any serious focus. We never sought help, nor study seriously. We were so comfortable earning money from employment. We invested in real estate, and stocks but it was all uneducated moves, unguided and therefore improper. We only know how to make money by working hard for it. We did not know how to make money work for us.

Fear of the unknown is one of our reasons why we did not get into investing seriously. I felt that getting into investment is dangerous and a lot of people lose their money. 

We tried to invest on what turned out to be a scam and we lost our money. Investing requires literacy. IMG gave that to us. We owe our investing know-how to IMG and Rex Mendoza. The link to them is Bro Bo Sanchez through his Truly Rich Coaching Seminar. Investing became so clear and simple.

First thing we were able to define clearly in investing is our PURPOSE for investing. What is the investment for, how much should we accumulate, and what is the target date.

In the past we simply invest for no particular reason. When we learned right investing, we now invest for a purpose or a particular financial goal.

Foremost of these purpose for investing are what we term as HIDEE.

If you want to know more contact me NOW at 0920-902-1217 or email me at richbenj.santiago@gmail.com

And the latest thing we offer is that you can TOP UP your INVESTMENTS in MUTUAL FUNDS (SOLDIVO FUNDS) with just 20PHP?

How Do We Avoid the Debt Trap?




Do you Want to Avoid Debt Trap



Being in the debt hole and rising above it was really a harrowing experience for many of us. Getting back into it would be foolish. So how did Fely and I make sure we don't fall on the same trap ever again?

Two things that we believe got us into debts: we lacked financial literacy as well as discipline. These are the top two reasons why we fell on the debt trap. So the solution is very obvious. We increased our financial literacy and we developed our discipline.

This we did by attending seminars and reading books and by being with people with the same mind set and goals. Literacy is easy to acquire, discipline is the harder part. Discipline is where the consistent application of the concepts learned are tested. We learned that for us to avoid debt traps, not only do we have to manage and consolidate debts, but also need to build up our emergency funds. So we created our emergency funds. We put aside about 50K in the bank. The guideline we had was to put into emergency funds at least 3-6 Months of our monthly salary or a minimum of about 50K Php. This will ensure that in case of emergencies, our first line of defense will be these emergency funds and not our credit cards.


It is very true that in our life, there comes many emergencies, and for most that do not have funds they fall into the debt trap like what we experienced.

So we saved initially about 50k Php and placed this in our checking and savings account. Eventually, we had also accumulated emergency funds in Mutual Funds and our Long-Term Healthcare.

We also leveraged our Credit Cards limits as source of emergency funds. How is that? We use our credit cards but we made sure that we pay it in advance so as to avoid the interest charges. We made sure that, the credit cards companies do not collect from us the annual fees. Because of the promos associated with the wise use of credit cards, we even enjoyed freebies like free food from fast food chains, and we accumulate promo points which we then exchange for free gadgets and home appliances. What placed us in deep debt hole, we learned to use to our advantage. With discipline, and planning we were able to turn an instrument of debt to our advantage.

We plan what we buy and we make a conscious effort to analyse our major purchases whether it is in our priority list. And if it is, how can we have the best value for our money. We always check and analyse our monthly expenses to make sure we control it to our plan.

We also made sure that what we invest on are real assets that put money into our pocket. The non performing assets that created holes in our finances and drained us were all plugged. We have liquidated some of the dead assets and converted them to cash which we invested.

We continually attended a series of training in IMG which further honed our financial literacy in money and debt management. In one particular session, we learned that credit cards annual fees can be waived. From then on, we always request for waiver of our credit cards annual payments. Attending seminars not only increased our financial IQ, it also developed our discipline. Since we are with the company of people who have the desire to save and invest, increase their cash flow, as well as get out of debts, then, we became like them. “Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are". This is indeed very real.

For us, the most important step we took in our journey to financial freedom, and to rise from our debts is what we learned on the Six Steps To Financial Freedom. The very first step is to increase our cash flow which we shared in Chapter 5. The most important and most difficult step really to get out of debt is learning and doing how to increase our cash flow. We hope you go back to Chapter 5 and learn and act on it.

To further make sure Fely and I do not go back into the debt trap, we made it our mission to share our experience to other people. This simply forces us to walk our talk for we cannot preach what we do not do. We shared to our family and friends what we did and are doing to be financially free. We went from places to places all over the Philippines and all over Asia to propagate financial education to those who wants to listen to our sharing. The more we share, the more we resolve to do what we preach. And what is amazing is that, the more we do our mission, the more people we help get out of debt, learn proper investing the more we earn. We make people win in their financial struggle and we make ourselves win too! The more we share, the more it prevents us getting back to our own debt trap.

We change our financial life and we change other people's lives too. This became our business. A Win-Win Business in the field of Financial Services through IMG System.

Malvin and Matin is just one of the couple friends we have in this mission. They were also retirees from Intel. They put up a computer shop and got their house expanded. They added another room for their children. They do earn from their computer shop in its early stages, but their competition started to rise. Thus, to compete they reduce their hourly rates on their computer rentals to be at par thus reducing their income. Eventually, they had problems with cash flow because of the shortfall in their business earnings and their increased and unmanaged expenses. Moreover, they did what most early retirees do. Spend their money rather invest. Thus, they incurred credit card debts that grew more than double due to penalty charges.

We met them in a marriage encounter weekend where we were assigned as shepherd couples. We encourage them to attend our financial coaching and helped them start up their IMG business. In less than two years, they were able to get their finances in order and had their debts paid, and they were able to increase their cash flow. Now they earn more than 3x their previous earnings and had steadily improved their cash flow enabling them to invest on their long term healthcare needs, invests too in mutual funds and into direct stocks. More than that, they are now part of our mission team in the Truly Rich Makers IMG Team reaching out to many people in different places in the Philippines and in Asia.

If you will need coaching like what we did to Malvin and Matin, please feel free to contact fely.santiago@gmail.com or richbenj.santiago@gmail.com. We will be more than happy to help you increase your cash flow and rise from debts! You do need a coach to win in your business. And you need a business; your own business to increase your cash flow.
