Young Man Saves P2.3 Million Within a Year
IPON CHALLENGE – A young man goes viral and elicited reactions online after flexing their P2.3 million savings within a year.
Starting the new year with a bang, a family decided to open six carefully-filled boxes, each containing P1,000 bills. This huge amount of money, totaling P2.3 million, was the result of their year-long ipon challenge.
The family’s system was simple but effective. Everyone in the family contributed to their savings, putting the extra money they earned from their business into a piggy bank or alkansya. With each family member pitching in, they managed to set aside as much as P20,000 each day.

When the new year arrived, their collective savings amounted to a staggering P2.3 million. According to John Paul, who shared their story, the money they saved came from the businesses passed down to them by their grandparents.
“Everyday, P10, 000 – P20, 000 ang hinuhulog naming. Hindi lang din ako, kasama na rin yung Mama ko, kapag may extra income or may business, siguraduhin natin na mapag-ipon talaga kahit kaunti-unti lang, tapos yun. Sa loob ng isang taon makikita mon a yung ipon mo,” John Paul said.
The family proves the importance of working together to grow their business. Through their combined efforts, they expanded their business, ensuring a steady increase in their income. John Paul requested not to give specific details about their business to protect their identity.

“Talagang may business na before. Na-ano lang naming, nahawakan lang naming nang maayos,” he added.
