Concerns about the SSS-ID?

Earlier this blog posted a schedule about tentative releases of the SSS-ID
That post will suffice if your ID concern is simply that you want to know when you might be able to get it. The email provided in that post is the email of the person in charge of questions related to the SSS-ID

TIP: if you email any government office regarding your concerns make sure that you provide complete details to identify yourself and your concerns to the government office, and make sure you number your emails.  so your first email should have 1, the next one 2, etc.  i call this your control number. also, it provides a reference number to the government agency.  Up to you if you want to do the same.

so for SSS, this should include your SSS Number, complete correct name, your concern - and describe this as fully as you can (ikwento mo, kung kailangan), and what i call a reference number.

This post is to specifically assist with other ID-related concerns

1. For example, if you lost your ID and you need a new one -no problem.  Fill-up a new E-6 and make sure you have an affidavit of loss, duly notarized then go to the nearest SSS office to have your picture again. This new ID will cost you, so make sure all your data is correct.  DO look at the screen that displays all your data.


Dapat tama lahat yung laman nun. Kung hindi, pumiyok kayo at sabihin dun sa nagbabantay. 





instructions for the E-6

The E-6.

2. If something is erroneous in your ID, then you need to correct it before you apply for a new one, and i refer you to topic 1 above when you are ready to get a new one.  However, changes in any data reflected in your ID need to have documentation.

Ika nga, kailangan ng prueba kasi para katotohanan ang pag-ayos.

If the error is a data-entry error of SSS, bring your E1 copy if you have it and SSS can rectify the error.   Otherwise, you need to bring an NSO-issued birth certificate or other legal document - such as passport, or your alien card if you are an immigrant or no longer a Filipino citizen.

this is the E-1 form, in case you have forgotten.  baka nalimutan ninyo na.



Remember, if you just need to update your SSS records, you need not apply for a new SSS-ID.
For example, adding a child or children.  If you are male, adding your spouse.  If you are female, and you are changing your last name, you need to have a new ID card.

again. for ID-concerns email carungaybf@sss.gov.ph

again.  if you are hitting snags, let me know (comment on this post) and i will try to bring it to the attention of SSS management so that things can be rectified.  But only if he cannot help you.  He is trying his best, do remember.

Click on the Fill-in or Editable E-6 

click on the downable E-6 


 


SSS IDs - Info

SSS ID sked -  as seen in the SSS FB site.  email carungaybf@sss.gov .ph for queries.


SSS says the ID production process will normalize by end of the year.  Will post.

A New Place

Looking for a new place to think and ponder the wonders of the Universe?
Or an artist studio away from the madding crowd at your own home?
Or simply a place to be away from it all?

Or perhaps you have kids who now want to test their wings? be independent?
and you want a safe place for them?

well, look no more.
there are at least two past posts on the place of my friend.
We had the Arts n Friends preview there on 1 July 2012, and then the following Sunday 8 July 2012
and here's a view of their building

The address is:
9 Major Dizon Street 
Industrial Valley Complex, Marikina City

Note: Affordable furniture store is nearby! So you can just buy nearby and save on the transportation hassles

Very accessible to: Ateneo, Miriam College, Eastwood Libis, Blue RIdge,  Katipunan, River Banks, SM City Marikina,
The building is between the Katipunan LRT station and Santolan LRT station... walkable distance from either station.

From Cubao - Aurora Blvd, stay on right at Marcos Hi-way and turn right at Major Dizon Street, just before the Marikina River.
From Libis: On C-5, going towards Ateneo, turn right on Major Dizon Street from Katipunan Extension just before Aurora Blvd flyover.

Public transportation: via jeepney or FX to Antipolo/Cogeo via Marcos Hi-way from Cubao

personally i use this route - by car or cab - i go via Xavierville turn right at Aurora, do a U, then down Marcos, then turn right at the first right available - that's Major Dizon.

Starting your Day

How do you start your day?

My friend, the sage, says he opens his eyes.  Yeah, right.
I suppose that's one way of answering the question.

i like to start my day by saying Good Morning to God. 
Then i say thank you for waking me up for the day and that i hope my day be filled with Him
i also dedicate the day to Him as an offering

i ask Him to put me in His Keeping
and ask him to give me strength to fight the temptations of the day
and to keep EVIL away from me

there are many evil persons abroad
betrayers galore, and i am "near" the presence of several
people who corrupt others, or peddle evil
persons who take delight in destroying other people or putting other people down
or who delight in building themselves up at the expense of others
people of greed - not just money but power

i simply ask the Lord God to take care of these kinds of people
and place them away - as far away from me as He can
they are vexations to the spirit

But no. sometimes He places them near.  To build character, i suspect -

Post Weekend 13-15 July

The weekend was very busy.  I was off to do government-related things last Friday, 13 July 2012.
I went to Camp Aguinaldo.  Then went home, talked to the carpenters, and left for Sampaloc, Manila - to be healed.

Healing is God's Grace freely given.  My first cousin is the instrument by which God heals those who believe.  He heals through the the hand of the Black Nazarene, my cousin simply is the carrier of God's Grace.

I want to be healed.  So I went for three days of healing. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
I know I am healed.  I know I am lucky.  The "Pharisees" will bear the proof when i have my medical labs.

As for the rest of the weekend, i was able to fix my elephant collection.
Pictures to follow (i forgot to upload them)

and was able to discard things.  I have more stuff to deal with but as long as i am able to clear a few things every weekend, i am satisfied.  Life is too short not to enjoy it.  So even when i am angry at some people, i find myself looking for laughter.  i suggest anime for laughter.  i enjoy Beelzebub for that.

Laugh. Love. Eat. Drink.
I drink four liters of water, well sometimes 2.5 liters of water, 1 liter of tea (made from tanglad or lemon grass or parsley), and the other half liter, half-and-half of gatorade/coke zero or if i am lucky - half a liter of wine.

Sayans - II

I can feel  -ber coming.

and with it,  the Anniversary of the Philippine Science High School comes to mind

I have the new T-shirt.  The one with the words of the Song, or the Science Hymn.
When my batchmates and I graduated from Sayans, we sang the this one -

Cora Andres, now Cora Andres-Bisda  did the honors and played the piano for all of us


ORIGINAL ENGLISH VERSION
BY MARIO TAQUIWALO
Philippine Science High
Thou stands above with thy thoughts that lift
And fit all thy sons with wings
To lend us flight in the sowing of our gifts
Oh, Philippine Science High,
Thy wisdom arms our youth
As we reach for our dreams, as we strive for our goals
As we seach for the untarnished truth
Philippine Science High,
The PSHS in us will grow
And go as we wander o’er
The crests and troughs of the sea of life that flows
Oh Philippine Science High
Thy light our beacon be
In our path through the world, in our fight for the right
In pursuit of a glorious thee


Our Batch Song

What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It*s the only thing that there*s just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone.

Lord we don*t need another mountain,

There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time

What the world needs now is love sweet love,

it*s the only thing that theres just too little of,
what the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some but for everyone

Lord, we dont need another meadow,

there are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow,
there are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,
oh listen Lord, if you want to know

What the world needs now is love sweet love,

its the only thing that theres just too little of.
what the world needs now is love sweet love,
no not just for some, oh but just for every every everyone.

what the world (whoa whoa) needs now,

is love (is love) sweet love
what the world ( oh oh) needs now
is love (is love) sweet love
what the world (whoa whoa) needs now
is love (is love) sweet love

I was at the Philippine Science High School when there was only one campus and it was  the Diliman campus at Agham Road, Quezon City where i hope it will remain til the world ends

one does not move a Harvard or any Ivy League school for any reason, does it?
and the campus has produced many talented individuals ......
Jimmy, my classmate, calls it simply sentimental
that is partly true, but sentiment and nostalgia is powerful
and for many logical reasons, my friend Roselmo Doval-Santos can articulate for me

Sunday 8 July 2012 Arts n Friends Exhibit III

Art n Friends - Exhibit III, for the NGO Kidney Friends and other Advocacies

I got Art.  and I want more.  if the pocket can afford it.
Food.  Glorious Food.

Art to me is beauty and spirit, and a wham to the heart.
without that wham or bang to the heart, the art is not for me.

Art has to hit me where i live, for me to want it, or for it to belong to me

So. I went to the Exhibit.  Not just for the Art, of course, but for the laughter with friends.

me. Tita Cherry. Alice. Sis-n-law of  Dr Coni


I got these."The Sun will come out Tomorrow", my title for Amihan Abueva's quilling work.  Alice is holding the art work.

A bunch of cards for a variety of events that will surely come my way. 
A butterfly/flower design by Giselle.  I need her to frame it.
A poster print from an upcoming Anime artist ...to be given to my nephew Japoy Ongchangco


and these i want -
A photo titled Circle of Life, but one i prefer to call - Life Triumphant
-- i was just updated.  it has been sold to another art lover
and another piece - of the sun, and 2 companions
The Art Book  of Napoleon Abueva.
The sun, and 2 figures.... i am hoping it is still there





and this that i cannot afford at this time.
in metal, Abueva's black trinity kalabaw (my name for it)
done in smooth black - that is just wonderful to touch
2 adult na kalabaw  nestling a tiny one between them
though the metal is cold, one can feel the love.
if i cannot get this, surely the one who is able to have this will be lucky
to hold that love in his possession
the tag price ---- over half a million in phil pesos, but truly worth the price methinks


Manny, Boy (Angel Lebanan), Alice, me



 
more Abueva pieces will be blogged separately.

Weekend Thoughts of 7-8 July

The Virgin of Penafrancia departed SSS today to go to the Fort, i was told.


 There was a smallish crowd to bid her farewell, and to keep her in their hearts.

i heard some of their more voluble petitions -
to get what is due (whatever those were)
and to have peace in their hearts

may the hearts of all be at peace this weekend



i have be at the Arts n Friends Exhibit III this Sunday
and tomorrow, i shall be fixing my study and the library

ah books. one of my loves.
maybe i shall find the time to read a little Voltaire

God's Guest Book

I read a blog by  Sharon Jaynes  who writes "Girlfriends in God"

You ought to read it and feel the meaning of her words directly.

We are just guests in this existence, and what do we is - just write in God's Guestbook.
Did we enjoy our lives?  Did we fill it?  Were we happy? or sad?
I wish all of us can say that the joys were worth the tears

I have had my share of tears and joys.  
Done the right things, and still do the right things - although it is very, very hard
Done some wrong things, as I - as the boy said - ain't purrfect

I do find joy.  I hope you find joy.  Everyday
