North Park Noodle House Refuses Senior Citizen Authorization Letter (Ire)

I wrote this on the FB page of North Park Noodle House:

Hello. I went to the North Park Noodle House at SM Hypermarket Cubao this morning, 04 Nov 2014, and I was informed that if the senior citizen is not present, an authorization letter from OSCA is required, and the one that I had brought with my father's signature will not be recognized.

The manager at opening time (I picked up the congee for my bedridden father at 8:47am, OR# 0097448) applied the 20% but warned me that all future transactions from any North Park Noodle House would require the aforementioned OSCA authorization.

However, when I inquired at the OSCA in Pasig City Hall, I was told that they are NOT ALLOWED to issue authorization letters. Moreover, the Senior Citizen Office says that by virtue of RA 994, the 20% is guaranteed by law, and asking for an OSCA authorization creates the impression that management wishes to avoid following the law. 

I hope your present policy will be reexamined. Thank you very much for your kind attention.

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.

Hi Top Supermarket Stores Yakult Bottles Out of Chiller (Ire)

I informed Yakult Philippines via their FB page that I passed by Hi Top Supermarket on Aurora Blvd. in Quezon City and found several Yakult products, numbering more than a hundred, on top of a  regular shelf near the ice cream section. When I questioned the shelf filler supervisor, he informed me impatiently that that's where they put all the Yakult that cannot fit in the chiller, as if it was a regular practice. I reminded him that Yakult is sensitive to temperature, and all the lactobacilli in the bottles on the shelf were probably dead. Receiving no assurance that the damaged Yakult products would not be sold to the public, I repeated my observation to a Customer Care representative and someone (who looked like he was) from management. However, my story was met both times with a blank stare, and I'm afraid of the sudden flurry of movement by staff from the ice cream section to the overflowing Yakult chiller.

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
