About

Audrey Giron covers money and career for filipinos.sg — remittance rates, GCash and BDO scams, HDB rental, EP and S Pass salary floors, SPLE board exams, and the cost-of-living calculus that drives every padala decision.

She reads MAS, BSP and DMW notices so the community gets practical, sourced guidance before scam patterns spread on Facebook and TikTok.

Audrey joined filipinos.sg in 2024 and is based in the West.
