Getting Xavy’s passport (Part 2)

So we lost the slip for claiming his passport and I eventually forgot. Until one of my friends saw his name posted. Said something like we need to claim it before to send it back to Manila for cancellation. So the next day I went to their office. I brought some identification and informed their guard that I’m only there to claim the passport but lost the slip. I was there at 10 AM but they don’t release passports until

Getting a Solo Parent ID

Mabibilang lang siguro the number of people who really want to become solo parents right from the start. Majority of the millions of solo parents (there’s about 14 million solo parents in the country, according National Institutes of Health data) probably became solo parents because of  the various circumstances in their lives, and not by choice. Being a solo parent is a huge task – my favorite line most days is “fuck my life”. There’s just no end to it. When

How-To: Get a replacement of a lost/damaged TIN card

So technically I never got my TIN card in the first place, was too lazy to go to the BIR office and ask about how to get one. On my previous post on How-To: Change BIR RDO address, I mentioned that I got my TIN online and that my RDO was in Marikina. When that got completed, I went back and submitted the requirements on how to change my S status to S1 (which I’ll probably make another post someday)

How-To: Change BIR RDO address

Back in 2004, BIR launched the online TIN application. Curious me, I applied for one without realizing all these RDO (Revenue District Office) stuff will cause me headaches in the future.

Go to the your local BIR Revenue District Office (click here to get the address). If you have

How-To: Get a replacement for a lost SSS ID card

The night before I went into labor last 2012, I lost my wallet which contained all of my cards (ID, ATM and thankfully no cash). Probably because of the pain I was experiencing that time, I totally forgot where I placed it. Fast-forward 2 years and about 3 months after, I still did not get a replacement SSS ID. I’m just like everyone out there who hates working on these kind’a stuff. Up to the day that I really had no

I am sure not a lot of solo parents are aware that there is such thing as RA 8972 also known as the “Solo Parent’s Welfare Act of 2000”. Oh well, there is.

Nikki Jimeno on Smart Parenting, Republic Act 8972, or the “Solo Parents’ Welfare Act of 2000”, was enacted to provide a comprehensive program of
