When the longing for authentic Pinoy dishes strikes in the U.S., Isla Grand stands ready to transport your taste buds back to the Philippines.

Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day. On our first visit to Isla Grand, I was captivated by the décor, noticing many native items that gave the place a fancy yet authentic Filipino feel. They usually have a live band, but unfortunately, there was no entertainment the night we went. My family had spoken highly of Isla Grand and encouraged us to try the Filipino dishes we’ve been missing from back home. Lech...

Beware of People Stealing Money from Your Bank Account

I would like to share a story that has happen to me last night from something you can be in shock from an incident that has occurred from a person who doesn't do any online transaction from their bank account can still lose money.

I had received a text message from my bank notifying that amount of money was transferred to someone else's INSTAPAY something I don't even use letting me know it was a SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER. 

The best thing to do is always check your money online and see if there anyone suspicious deducting money from your account.

I had received an email message about transferred from someone claimed I have agreed upon to transfer the funds to someone else.

It seemed odd before years ago when I have done online banking there would be a code number you would receive from your phone number and you would have to type it in to authorize the transaction.

After checking online to see whether it was true or not I had notify my bank informing what has happened to me receiving a text message having money transferred that I never made in the first place.

It is bothersome but no matter what you need to stay online until you're able to talk to a representative to dispute the situation and close your bank account until it gets resolved.

You just realize how desperate people get to steal money from people who are innocent.

Talking to the representative at my bank she asked if I had an ATM or did any online transaction recently. I said no to both of her questions.

I was on hold during your phone call and giving all information needed for the representative to access your account later on the end of your call you will write down your reference number to do the next step.

Today in the morning I went to my bank to fill up a dispute form with your reference number given from your phone call to follow up bring a identification card showing proof who you are for your bank account and bringing your passbook to get the update on account balance.

Everything will soon be resolved after forty-five days to do the investigation it is a shock to everyone how someone was able to steal money from you without having a ATM or doing any bank transaction online.

No matter you fear inside what happen to those who have millions of money in their bank account how would they live knowing someone is enjoying your money.

I want to share my experience in case it does happen to you and you're not alone.
