Insurance Commission May Compel Danvil to Pay More (Eye)

A call to Danvil at their Alabang office (tel. no. 828.0468/6184) on 05 May 2014 produced the same answer for the past months: the termination checks cannot be released due to a hold by the Insurance Commission.

The delay turned out to be good news. I managed to speak with Ms. Sally Bactol of the Actuarial Dept. in the Insurance Commission who explained the delay. The Danvil audit report is currently with the Management Committee (ManCom), of which the Chief Deputy Commissioner is part of, and who, in turn, will make his recommendation to the Insurance Commissioner.

The suspension of payments is due to the fact that ManCom wants to ensure that Danvil's coffers will be at a zero balance, i.e. all possible payments are given to its clients, which means there's a very good possibility that the current offer by Danvil at 50% of the policy's value may become higher, as ordered by the Insurance Commission.

When I raised my concern that my mother had already signed the termination papers, Ms. Bactol assured me that since she has not yet received any form of payment from Danvil, then my mom's policies can still be included in the changes the Insurance Commission will mandate. For that, we're willing to suffer more delays since it may mean higher compensation.

NSO via Teleserv Refunds Birth Certificate Fee (Eye)

After three days, the birth certificate of my cousin that I had ordered online still hadn't arrived. I checked its status on nsohelpline.com  and read: Waiting for Payment Confirmation from Payment Provider The payment option that I had chosen was through a bank deposit. So I called up Metrobank P. Tuazon branch at 911.5813 and they confirmed with NSO that the payment had already been received, but there was a question re my order. I was directed to call 737.1111, and, with the help of Teleserv consultant Braid Nicole, I finally learned the reason for the delay was the absence of an authorization letter and ID of my US based cousin. Since I can't get the requirements on time, I voiced my desire to cancel my order and asked if I could get a refund. Thankfully, after consulting with a superior, the answer was yes. I gave my bank details, and, according to Ms. Nicole, the P350 fee for the canceled birth certificate will be deposited within the week.

Converge ICT Switcher Promo

 We thought switching to PLDT Fiber would solve our internet speed problems. It did for a while but it came to a point that certain sites, like Canva, wouldn't load at all. It was so frustrating that we grabbed the chance to avail of the Converge ICT Switcher promo. The freebies of 3 months were a perk but we were just happy with a faster internet speed that met our needs. Thankfully, our Converge Account Officer helped us process our application. It was approved after five days. And now, we are so happy with the internet speed because we can now do our work in a timely manner. #PLDT #PLDTFiber #Converge #fastinternet #thebachelorgirl

Antipolo Jeep Plays Offensive Music (Ire)

On my way to Philhealth Rizal at Sta. Lucia, I rode an Antipolo jeep, which had one of those blaring sound systems. Barely a few minutes into the ride, the driver chose to play a song that repeatedly chanted, "P-tang ina." As the song progressed, the lyrics degenerated to lines that contained the words: k-ntutan, itlog, etc. Although he has the right to listen to music that he enjoys, I think that right overlaps with other people when it's being played in public. So when the jeep stopped to take on passengers, I slid to the front, tapped the driver on the shoulder, and told him, "Kuya, ang bastos-bastos." He immediately caught on to what I meant and changed the music.
