Dreams of Making it Big
Filipinos work hard for their money. And in the US, Filipinos work doubly hard, to prove they are equal or even better than their colleagues and co-workers in a first-world country. They have rent and bills to pay in order to survive, and eventually attain the “American dream.”

Pera Ko, Pera Mo (PKPM) is a weekly financial program that gives Fil-Ams investment and wealth-management information. It is timely and relevant, especially in the current difficult economic situation in the US. PKPM aims to provide the best financial advice from a “kapamilya’s” point of view. In simple terms that the audience will find easy to understand, PKPM addresses the “common thinking” on banking and investment, and encourages viewers to go beyond the “savings account” mentality.

Pera Ko, Pera Mo features segments that would initiate viewers on the basic do’s and don’ts of money management and being able to realize their dreams of making it big.
