I'm Jonathan Mendoza, a licensed financial wealth planner of FWD Philippines based in Metro Manila.
I help parents like you lay the financial foundation that keeps your family's future standing strong through life's financial disasters.
Back in 2016, when I received my first salary as a junior software engineer, I was excited to start investing.
But before I did, I decided to spend one month tracking where my money was actually going.
What I discovered surprised me.
My basic needs alone were consuming more than 70% of my take-home pay.
There wasn't much left to save—let alone invest.
That's when I realized something important:
The problem wasn't that I needed better investments.
The problem was that I hadn't yet built a strong financial foundation.
And no amount of investing could solve that.
So I began building my financial foundation that same year.
Whenever I had extra funds available, I invested them in software engineering books and online courses to increase my income and strengthen my long-term earning potential.
After several years of diligently following this 5-step framework, I finally reached the point where I could begin investing for long-term wealth accumulation.
In April 2025, I joined FWD Philippines and became a licensed Financial Wealth Planner so I could help Filipino parents build the same strong financial foundation for their own families.
Today, my mission is simple:
To help parents create a financial foundation strong enough to support their dreams, protect the people they love, and withstand life's unexpected challenges.
