Blog - Home Based Pinoy

Central index for blog content: a short intro, featured cards, and a path back to the full feed. Colors below are chosen so text stays readable on both dark and light panels.

What you will find here

This page keeps a hand-picked set of blog posts from Home Based Pinoy, plus a path to the full list. The cards below use dark text on a light panel so the excerpts stay easy to read next to the older Mesmerize layout that still runs inside the article body.

Use the home page for the latest order of posts, open Digital Banking Basics (2026) for a current money workflow piece, or jump to How-To Guides when you need step-by-step instructions.

New copy in the grey boxes uses the same body color and link blue as the main Neve theme, so you should not see low-contrast grey on grey against the panel background.

Editorial snapshot for 2026

Remote work in the Philippines now sits next to stricter KYC rules, more digital banking options, and busier inboxes. The writing here stays practical: time blocks for parents at home, honest notes on hardware that is good enough, and lessons from long streaks of working without an office. You should still pair any money post with the official policy pages of your bank and tax office, but the blog side of the site is meant to reduce confusion before you open those tabs.

When you are done with the three highlights, the button at the bottom still sends you to the main blog stream on the home page, where dates and categories match what search engines expect from a kept-up archive.
