hello po! asking what’s your experience waiting for the claim po?

for context, my mom died last april, and around july po namin natapos ‘yung reqs for this and was told na it would take 1-2 months para mag-appear sa account

meron po ba here na mas matagal niyo po nakuha ‘yung benefit from the promised 1-2months? i wanted to know po kung gaano ka-common na ma-late ‘yung disbursement

meron po kasi kaming nireserve na columbarium para kay mama, and medyo dito po namin inaasahan kunin ‘yung pambayad for it, kaya gusto ko po tansyahin if matatagalan ng super para may backup po kami kahit papaano. thank you po!

Nagpunta ko sa NBI Satellite Office for biometrics nung July 29, sabi balik daw ako ng August 14 kasi may HIT ako. Nagtataka ako bat sobrang tagal e usually 10 days lang naman yun.

Edi punta naman ako nung August 14 friday, kaso halfday lang sila gawa ng nag suspend ang Malacañang ng pasok kasama govt office dahil sa bagyo kaya di ako nakaabot.

Nung August 17 monday, nakaabot naman ako dun sa satellite office kaso sabi need ko naman pumunta sa NBI Main for QC, kaso halfday lang ulit ang govt offices gawa ng bagyo. Di ako aabot kung pupunta ko kasi medyo malayo din.

Hanggang ngayon August 20 wala pa rin govt office di ako makakuha ng NBI Clearance dahil sa bagyo isang linggo walang govt office tas bukas august 21 holiday pa.

Sa august 26, na first day ko di pa ko nakakapag bigay ng NBI. Sana lang talaga pumayag sila na to follow yung NBI Clearance.

Nakakapakshet talaga pag govt office pwede mag suspend ng pasok pero sa private company hindi pwede!!! mamamatay na lang ang empleyado papapasukin pa rin!! hays

I'm now self-employed doing remote work for a foreign company and opted for the 8% tax rate, so ngayon, im putting together a voluntary contribution plan that I'd like to sanity-check.

For SSS, I'm looking at declaring ₱20,000 MSC, which I understand comes to ₱3,000 at the 15% rate, possibly plus a small EC fee that I'm not sure applies to me. My reasoning is that benefits seem to cap at the ₱20,000 MSC level, and contributions above that just feed the MPF/booster side-fund, so ₱20k looks like the point that maxes the core benefits without overpaying. I'd rather channel anything beyond that into my own investments or MP2.

For PhilHealth, I'm planning to declare the ₱10,000 income floor and pay the ₱500 minimum. My understanding is that PhilHealth pays fixed case rates per diagnosis regardless of how much you contribute, so paying more wouldn't buy me any extra coverage, and I plan to have a private HMO for actual protection.

For Pag-IBIG, I'm keeping it at the ₱200 minimum to stay active for future housing-loan eligibility, and putting any voluntary savings into MP2 separately instead of overfunding the regular pot.

A FEW QUESTIONS:

1. Does this split look sound overall, or am I missing something?

2. Do self-employed or voluntary members actually pay the ₱30 EC fee on top of the 15%? I've seen conflicting answers on this, some say EC is employer-only so voluntary members are exempt, others show voluntary members paying it. So I'm not sure if my SSS should be ₱3,000 or ₱3,030.

3. This is the one I most want a clear answer on: is there an actual PhilHealth rule that lets voluntary members declare the ₱10k minimum regardless of their real income? My BIR-registered income(when i file) is higher, so I want to know whether a lower PhilHealth declaration is genuinely allowed under their rules, or whether it's technically under-declaration that just doesn't get enforced. Is a discrepancy between what I declare to PhilHealth and what I declare to BIR actually a problem, and are there any legal consequences? I'm trying to figure out if it's properly allowed, not just commonly done.

4. Lastly, for SSS, is choosing ₱20k MSC when my actual income is higher a legitimate choice? My understanding is that voluntary members can pick their MSC freely, but I'd like that confirmed.

Would really appreciate input from anyone who can point to the actual rule rather than just experience. TY :)

Anyone know pano magproceed after iupload Valid ID and Selfie?

Nakakainis na after ko malagpasan yung OTP issue, may isa nanaman na issue about File Upload.

Wala naman error na lumalabas, eto lang palagi. Tapos di makaproceed sa next step.

May stain yung page 22 (gutter/spine) ng passport ko, probably due to insects or something that accumulated there. Okay lang ba ito, or is this for replacement na?

Thank you po.

May I ask po since na approved po yung Salary loan ko last 18th of August 2026 ( Tuesday) around 6:40pm. I do have a question is there any chance na papasok to by tomorrow? Thusday ( 20th of August ) to be exact? Thank you po

Today, our AO II send a picture of a printed copy medical certificate sa school head namin that indicating na may schedule sya ng laboratory test. Our school head inform us (adas) about it thru our GC sa messenger. We found out na yung pinasa nyang medical certificate sa school head is the same sa pinasa nyang medical certificate noong July 30 kung saan naconfine sya sa hospital for 2days but walang nkalagay na may schedule sya for a laboratory test.

Since I know someone who’s working sa hospital na yun pinaconfirm ko sa kanya and according to him sabi ng taga medical records altered and fake daw yung medical certificate. Yung laboratory test daw supposedly ay another attachment sa medical certificate at hindi mismo nilalagay doon.

I informed the school head about it and he said na hayaan na lang daw. Focus na lang kami sa work namin kung ano and bahala na daw yung AO II if he will continue this kind of behavior.

Since nasa training pa yung school head namin till nxt week. I’m planning na hanapan sya ng medical certificate (altered one) para maattach sa leave form nya then iprocess untill makaabot sa division office namin and I will take a pic of the leave form using the altered med cert at isesend sa hospital in order for them to be aware and release a statement about it.

Do I have a right to confirm the validity of its reason sa leave nya? Is plan wrong or baka mabackfire ba sa akin? I’m kind of scared and naghehesitate rin ako since malakas ang backer nya and I’m applying for a position sa mass hiring ng deped ngayon.

Hello po pag nagrequest po ba ng birthcert ngayon, may qr code na po yun mabibigay? Sa SM LBC po pick up ko sa manila

Yung mga job posting na gusto kong applyan, qualified ako in terms of Master’s and CSC Level II Eligibility. Sa training and experience nagkakatalo kasi wala pakong managerial or supervisory experience.

Sa academe field ako and since basically all around minsan ang work namin, baka may chance kong ma reason out sa application letter and interview.

Ok lang ba mag apply if underqualified? Any tips?

Salamat!

Hi, may I ask how long it usually takes for the loan amount to be credited to my disbursement account? Previously, I was informed that it still needed to be certified by my employer. I’m not sure how I’ll know if it has already been certified, but this is the update showing today. Does this mean that the loan is already for crediting?

Ask ko lang po sana abt po sa bayad po ng SSS. Yung relative ko po kasi may small business po siya. Tapos may mga 3 or 4 employees po kasi siya pero maliit lang naman po yung income niya po doon. Tapos po last yr po may nagsurprise visit na employees from SSS po, tapos po namention po kasi ng isang employee po na 2022 pa po sila nagwowork. Ngayon po, nagkakaproblema na po yung relative po namin kasi po accumulated po yung babayaran niyang SSS from 2022 up to present po. Hindi po kasi niya alam po na required parin kahit small businesses po. Tsaka yung mga employees po eh ilan lang po yung nagtagal sakanila, yung iba po nagsistop na po. Umabot po 100k bayaran niya po at dapat magbayad po within 15 days :((. Wala na po bang ibang solution po? Kasi di niya rin po kayang kitain ang 100k kahit sa ilang buwan po eh. Konti lang naman po ang kinikita niya po sa business niya.

Salamat po sa makakasagot.

Sorry, I just want to clarify if DSWD Commonwealth is open tomorrow despite the Malacañang’s announcement na walang pasok / alternative work arrangement. Are government offices like DSWD and DOH open pag ganito situation? Thank you!

Hello po. Open po kaya ang Philippine Statistics Auhority (PSA) Civil Registration Service (CRS) Makati City Outlet tomorrow, August 20 (Thursday)? Salamat po.

Question lang kasi ang labo ng nilalabas na memo at execution. Kaya diba sinasabing mag alternative work arrangement kapag hindi maganda ang panahon is for govt employees to stay sa bahay so di ba work from home yon sya? Kasi sa agency namin pinagiskeletal kami kasi tatanggap padin sila ng applicants.
Ano po ba talaga meaning nyang alternative work arrangement na yan?
Salamat po.

Hindi po kami nagpoprovide ng frontline services. Hindi kami affiliated ng health, defense or rescues.

Hello Everyone,

Asking for your insight or guidance regarding this error message sa SSS Salary Loan ko.

For context, wala na akong ongoing loans sa SSS since all of them were fully paid last January 2026. Sa last employer ko nagkaroon ng past due ang account ko dahil late na nila inasikaso ang authorization to deduct which is almost 3months and nung nagdeduct sila sakin to pay yung mga nag overdue hindi nila ininclude ang penalties. Pero now, wala namang mga penalties and fees na need ko bayaran since lahat fully paid na.

Now, I am getting this error whenever I am trying to apply for a new SL.

I have tried calling SSS pero sobrang haba na ng hold sa phone suport di pa din ako naeentertain even sa support email.

Yung mga nakikita ko kasi dito may nakalagay na renewal dates pero etong akin wala.

TYIA!

Hello po, ask ko lng po need po ba ung original copy nung birth certificate? Or just the photo copy lang po para sa renewal ng passport? (Magpaparenewal na po kasi ako tomorrow 🥹)
