I went to Pag-ibig branch to check if I can withdraw all contributions under my name. I never benefited from Pag-ibig anyway. I got my first house from my employer bank which had better terms, and I am not the type who wants to be locked in 5 years for MP2. The good news is I am likely eligible as I have contributed for more than 20 years. The bad news is that Pag-ibig has no consolidated record of my contributions. WTF! What kind of database is that? They even passed on the record keeping task to me by asking for a print out of my SSS employment record so they can cross-check. Ako pa at SSS ang mag-consolidate! God, ang gusto ko lang naman ay functioning government.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has provided P20,000 in initial assistance to 22-year-old Jeny, a “sampaguita” vendor who was mistakenly identified as a minor after wearing an outfit that resembled a grade school uniform during a viral incident with a mall security guard.
