Pag-Ibig provides e-payment for Pinoys abroad
Posted by engkanta on February 22nd, 2008
Several visitors to this site who are based outside of the Philippines have asked me about how to go about contributing to the Pag-ibig Fund.
The e-payment system will hopefully make it easier for you to pay your monthly contributions.
Some overseas Pinoys have also inquired if it is possible to apply for Pag-Ibig Overseas Program (POP) membership online. There’s currently no such thing.
However, overseas Pinoys may file their application with any of the following offices:
* Pag-Ibig Overseas Program (POP) Office
* POP Overseas Offices
* Accredited Overseas Marketing Representatives
* Metro Manila and Provincial Offices

Oath taking of new real estate brokers
Posted by engkanta on July 29th, 2007
Last night, we took our oaths as new real estate brokers, vowing to follow the code of ethics of the real estate profession and to place the interests of our clients over our own.
By we, I meant of course me and the 54 others in my review class who passed the licensure examination held in May this year.
Our oath taking was officiated by Zaide Bation, chief of the Trade and Regulatory Division of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in Cebu province. It was held at the Cebu Midtown Hotel in Cebu City.

Realtor Serafin Blanco, a former Mandaue City administrator, in his welcome remarks told of the “opportunities up for grabs” in the real estate profession, citing last year’s 26 percent growth in the real estate sector that roughly translated to exposure of 70 billion pesos.
