Do you have debt? - credit card loans, ShopeePay loans, home loan, home credit, other forms of utang...
Asking kasi I believe the best way to start saving then eventually invest is to pay off all debts first.
Kung wala ka nang/namang utang, make sure nakapagtabi ka na ng emergency fund (amount depends sa lifestyle and needs mo). Kapag okay na ang emergency fund, make sure you have a system for paying and tracking monthly expenses (rent/hulog sa bahay, bills, insurance, etc.). Kung lahat na yan in order, that's when I would start looking to invest and build a diversified portfolio.
IMO, mahirap unahin ang investments kung hindi ka ready for emergency situations (biglaang unemployment, unforeseen illness, accident) kasi you need liquid funds and/or comprehensive insurance for those.
