us five

-
we all met for the first time in 1996 as freshmen of u.p. cebu college's psychology program. miss debi, marini, ivy, and joan were of the same circle, while i keep my own company here and there. we were friends all through our four years of college nevertheless. i was adopted into the fold when miss debi and i found ourselves jobless. she fresh from a stint in manila, while i did a 2-year hiatus from the world after graduation in 2000. soon after, miss debi informed me of a "researcher" job, where we briefly worked together for a little over two years. it was during these times that our bond started to grow and become where we are now: with distinctly separate lives, but with a bond that is as strong as ever. hopefully, the kind that will last 'til we pass on. haha, i seem to be in a "reminiscing mood" these days. so, please indulge me with pictures of us five (and eventually, with their partners) over the years.

Pay PAG-IBIG Housing Loan Via Metrobankdirect

-

A few days back, I went to PAG-IBIG Ayala Cebu Branch to submit the receipt of my realty tax payment for the years 2017 and 2018. While one can actually send the scanned receipt online, I opted to submit mine in person. Good thing I did so because then I learned about the following announcement: Apparently, effective July 2018, all housing loan borrowers are advised to pay their housing loans through different payment channels (as indicated in the announcement). Rather than wait for the July 1 start date, I thought I'd give paying via Metrobankdirect--Metrobank's online channel--a try. Actually, the reason I opened a Metrobank account was primarily for this purpose. However, I didn't use the account as I initially intended because paying over the counter gives my mother a chance to drop by Ayala Center. She normally does not go to the mall, but paying my HDMF housing loan gives her a reason to do so. But with this new policy, I guess I have no other choice but to comply...

Updated: February 24, 2018 Did you know that you can actually view your Account Information online? For someone who rely heavily on the Internet for anything and everything, this bit of information came to me late. I honestly don't know when this government portal came to exist. Well, I do know that PAG-IBIG has a website, just not this feature. So if you have a PAG-IBIG housing loan, you can check your account balance and payment history for the last 12 months by visiting the PAG-IBIG website . How to Access the Site Simply input your housing loan account number , your first and last names , and the captcha to signify that you are not a robot, shown above. That's it! Once in, you can check your account information such as loan value, term, interest rate, take out date, outstanding balance, and monthly amortization. It also has a Billing Statement Email Facility feature where you can opt to receive your monthly billing statement through email. There, you are ...

Pay SSS Contributions via UnionBank Online

 COVID-19 definitely did a number to many of us. Several companies had to lay off key personnel to cut costs. So yeah, some of us lost jobs because of it. As employed personnel, our employers took care of payments to governmental obligations such as SSS, PAG-IBIG, and PhilHealth. We need not worry about when to pay our contributions or where to pay and such as everything were automatically deducted from our salaries come payroll time. Now being no longer part of the formally employed sector, we either have the option to temporarily discontinue paying for those three. After all, we don't the income. In the short-term, there is no significant blow if you choose not to pay for contributions for the time being. However, in the long-term, it might prove disadvantageous to you. Not paying might affect your benefits if something happens to you (for example, perhaps lowered monetary claim in case of sickness). If you have savings or find yourself having a part-time job, conside...
