Double Your Money Investment
Few months ago, our family in Malitbog, Southern Leyte were talking about the “Double Your Money Investment” that some of our relatives (Laplana Clan members) took.
By just looking at the scheme, “Double Your Money,” it seems that it’s another kind of money scam. We were really wondering if the banks that offer this product could really pay the depositors the interest promised on the terms and condition.
I heard that one of my relatives invested his 1M money in a certain company or bank. Now if this money will be doubled in 5 years, then he’s earning more or less 20% interest per year. That’s too high than what my current money is earning which is less than 1% interest only.
Well, this kind of product is really possible and can be legit too. Dr. Ravalo discussed it already at his column at the Inquirer dot Net.
What is probably being offered to you Geno is a double-your-money type of deposit. This takes advantage of a provision in the law that exempts 5-year deposits from the final withholding tax. With this tax break, you would only need an interest rate of 14.8 percent to double your money in five years.
What are the risks to these? The same law that exempts you from the withholding tax says that if you withdraw before the five years are up, you have to pay the tax. The risk here is whether you have enough resources elsewhere to keep you from withdrawing the money you put in the potentially 5-year deposit. If liquidity is an issue, the chances of doubling-your-money in five years are quite remote. (source)
On that column, he mentioned only two risks in taking this kind of investment which are: paying the tax when withdrawn before the 5 years contract; and “whether you have enough resources elsewhere to keep you from withdrawing the money you put in the potentially 5-year deposit.” What is not mentioned is the risk in losing your money if the bank will be closed due to bankruptcy.
Well, investing your money on the Double-Your-Money scheme is really a gamble. (But I think all businesses can be considered gambled.) There are really a risks in taking this kind of investment but who knows you’ll be lucky enough to get what you are expecting.

Schemes like that could be all right for as long as you invested only P 250,000.00. If the bank goes down at least you can claim your P 250,000.00 from the PDIC. (Philippine Depositors Insurance Corporation)
However, I prefer investing in the stock market. In the stock market you could even triple your money in 3 years time or even less than that. Provided of course that you know how to play the stock market game.
Hello po!
Thanks po sa tip.
medyo nakaduda kasi ang mga ganyang transactions. one the famous banks in bicol ay sarado na, yung G7 Bank.
Normal lang po talaga sa maliit na bank na magsara especially kung they’re offering this product at mahina naman yung pasok ng pera sa kanila.
The advice of Atty Z. Diaz above ay ang pinakamabuting gawin… Kung magdeposit man sa ganitong producto ng bank ay siguraduhing sakop pa ito ng PDIC para meron pa rin tayong makuhang pera if ever na magsara ang bank.
Actually, sa pagresearch ko, only the rural banks ang nag-offer ng ganito. Yung malalaking mga banko ay napakaliit ng interest rate nila.
well sa sobrang hirap ng buhay natin dito sa pinas siguradong inn pa rin ang ganyang mga promo or schemes.
meron akong nakitang advertisement ng Legacy Consolidated Plans. Double Your Moneyin 3 Years yung producto nila. Magdeposit ka ng halimbawa 100,000PhP magiging 200,000PhP siya in 3 years. Ang hindi ko lang alam ay kung covered pa rin ba ito ng PDIC. Baka kasi magdeposit tayo ng pera tapos biglang magsara gaya ng nangyari sa College Educational Plan noon na maraming members ang nawalan ng pera.
Zigfred Diaz is correct. You can triple your money in about three years or less. Pero you have to be careful. Particularly with the stock market conditions now in the Philippines (as well as with the whole world). Medyo bear market tayo. However if you are thinking long-term investments, best din pumasok ngayon sa market kasi baba ng value ng stocks.
Interesado din ako sa ganun. The only problem is, I don’t have enough money for that. Maybe someday kung makaipon ako ng money from blogging.
