I blogged about this good investment find in 2008. It is about the Time Deposit offered by LBC bank. I did my research and was convinced to put some investment in this bank. Then, I forget about it.
However, Q4 of 2011, I learned about the closing of LBC bank. Oh no!!! What have I done?! It was my first time and I didn't know what to do. I was also busy with other stuffs and forgot about it. I just decided to file my claim early this year as part of my new year's plan.
I realized, it was not that bad after all. My money still earned an interest of 16% for the 3 years it was with them. Thanks to PDIC, I still have a chance of recovering our Investment.
Lessons Learned:
1. Do your own due diligence in investing your hard earned money.
I did mine but I think it was not enough. ;)
2. Stay away with Mañana Habit.
When a bank closes, file your claim as soon as possible to be included in the 1st release of claims. I was a month delayed in claiming. Depositors in my area was already able to claim their investment by the time I was only filing for mine.
3. Fail Quickly and Try Again.
My failure didn't stopped me. It just made me wiser. Actually, I am already excited to get my claim and invest it in the stock market. As per Bo Sanchez's advise to the Truly Rich Club Members, "The Philippines Will be One of the Best Performing Stock Markets in the World". And I wanna be part of it. :)
Let's Keep Investing!!!

Hi there, may I know how much is your deposit with LBC? Have myown deposit that exceeds 500K until now I have not received any letter yet from PDIC on the scheduled release of the insurance claim of 500K..
And would you know the process on how to claim the deposits in excess of the insurable 500K?
Thank you so much.
