Watch The Video and be The Judge: OFW Remitter VS Money Transfer Teller in Hong Kong



Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) work abroad for the sake of their family. After a tiring month, all the OFWs await is the salary which will stay on their hands for maybe a couple of hours and they are all gone. They will immediately bring it to the remittance center to send to their family. The OFWs first priority when they landed abroad is to find out where they can be able to send money. That is why remittance centers aywhere in the world are the places mostly populated by OFWs during the days where salaries are expected to  be released. Most remittance center tellers practice "service with a smile." However, in very rare instances, there are some tellers who are ill-mannered and lacking good customer service. Just like what happened to a remittance center in Hong Kong.  Sponsored Links In a viral video, A Filipina OFW  would be seen having a heated argument with a remittance center teller who is also a Filipina. They can be seen on video cursing and exchanging insults. According to the uploader, a  Filipina OFW rushed to the remittance center to send money for her family back home. Later that she realized that the money intended to be sent to Palawan Express has been sent to Cebuana Lhuillier. The remitter voiced her complain to the teller. As the argument heated, bad remarks has been thrown to both of them, easily became a word-war. A scene that is so disappointing to see especially on a situation that they are both Filipinos. Netizens are dismayed on the behavior of the teller to think that they are,  being both Filipinos in a foreign territory has to look after each other and extend help if needed. The teller even told the OFW that she will make her deported.  Advertisement Read More:       ©2017 THOUGHTSKOTO

A viral photo of a police officer who appears to be pissing in public that is making rounds on social media being said to be misinterpreted by the netizen. The photographer who snapped the photo finally broke his silence to reveal the whole truth behind the viral photo.

A viral photo of a police officer who appears to be pissing in public that is making rounds on social media being said to be misinterpreted by the netizen. The photographer who snapped the photo finally broke his silence to reveal the whole truth behind the viral photo.  On the ABS-CBN News interview, National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Director Oscar Albayalde showed a photo of the alleged "pissing cop" and said that they will subject it for investigation and if proven, the police personnel will face the consequences of his action. Southern Police District (SPD) Director Tomas Apolinario said that the cop was more likely appearing to be just washing his hands. He added that it is so vulgar to a police personnel to be pissing on the street where everybody can see him.  Luis Liwanag, the photographer who actually snapped the viral photo, it was taken last December 2016 in Baclaran on a lunch time.  The cop was washing his hands and was keeping his both feet apart to keep his shoes from being wet. The photographer was surprised to see the photo circulates on the social media with a different context and interpretation. And just recently, a group from Cebu has posted the photo they claim to be their original shot and that they captured  the exact moment where the cop was taking a piss publicly.

All you need to do is to follow these steps:  -Inquire at the state college or university where you want to study.  -Bring Identification forms. If your family is a 4Ps subsidiary, prepare and bring your 4Ps identification card. For families who are not a member of 4Ps, bring your family's proof of income.  -Bring the registration form from your state college or university where you want to study.   Nicholas Tenazas, Deputy executive Director of CHED-UniFAST said that in the program, the state colleges and universities will not collect any tuition fee from the students. The Government will shoulder their tuition fees.  CHED-UniFAST or the Unified Student Financial Assistance For Tertiary Education otherwise known as the Republic Act 10687  which aims to provide quality education to the Filipinos.  What are the qualifications for availing of the modalities of UniFAST?  The applicant for any of the modalities under the UniFAST must meet the following minimum qualifications:  (a) must be a Filipino citizen, but the Board may grant exemptions to foreign students based on reciprocal programs that provide similar benefits to Filipino students, such as student exchange programs, international reciprocal Scholarships, and other mutually beneficial programs;   (b) must be a high school graduate or its equivalent from duly authorized institutions;   (c) must possess good moral character with no criminal record, but this requirement shall be waived for programs which target children in conflict with the law and those who are undergoing or have undergone rehabilitation;   (d) must be admitted to the higher education institution (HEI) or TVI included in the Registry of Programs and Institutions of the applicant’s choice, provided that the applicant shall be allowed to begin processing the application within a reasonable time frame set by the Board to give the applicant sufficient time to enroll;   (e) in the case of technical-vocational education and training or TVET programs, must have passed the TESDA screening/assessment procedure, trade test, or skills competency evaluation; and   (f) in the case of scholarship, the applicant must obtain at least the score required by the Board for the Qualifying Examination System for Scoring Students and must possess such other qualifications as may be prescribed by the Board.  The applicant has to declare also if he or she is already a beneficiary of any other student financial assistance, including government StuFAP.

Do You Need Money For Tuition Fee For The Next School Year? You Need To Watch This Do you need money for your tuition fee to be able to study this coming school year? The Philippine government might be able to help you. All you need to do is to follow these steps:  -Inquire at the state college or university where you want to study.  -Bring Identification forms. If your family is a 4Ps subsidiary, prepare and bring your 4Ps identification card. For families who are not a member of 4Ps, bring your family's proof of income.  -Bring the registration form from your state college or university where you want to study.   Nicholas Tenazas, Deputy executive Director of CHED-UniFAST said that in the program, the state colleges and universities will not collect any tuition fee from the students. The Government will shoulder their tuition fees.  CHED-UniFAST or the Unified Student Financial Assistance For Tertiary Education otherwise known as the Republic Act 10687  which aims to provide quality education to the Filipinos.  What are the qualifications for availing of the modalities of UniFAST?  The applicant for any of the modalities under the UniFAST must meet the following minimum qualifications:  (a) must be a Filipino citizen, but the Board may grant exemptions to foreign students based on reciprocal programs that provide similar benefits to Filipino students, such as student exchange programs, international reciprocal Scholarships, and other mutually beneficial programs;   (b) must be a high school graduate or its equivalent from duly authorized institutions;   (c) must possess good moral character with no criminal record, but this requirement shall be waived for programs which target children in conflict with the law and those who are undergoing or have undergone rehabilitation;   (d) must be admitted to the higher education institution (HEI) or TVI included in the Registry of Programs and Institutions of the applicant’s choice, provided that the applicant shall be allowed to begin processing the application within a reasonable time frame set by the Board to give the applicant sufficient time to enroll;   (e) in the case of technical-vocational education and training or TVET programs, must have passed the TESDA screening/assessment procedure, trade test, or skills competency evaluation; and   (f) in the case of scholarship, the applicant must obtain at least the score required by the Board for the Qualifying Examination System for Scoring Students and must possess such other qualifications as may be prescribed by the Board.  The applicant has to declare also if he or she is already a beneficiary of any other student financial assistance, including government StuFAP. However, if at the time of application of the scholarship, grant-in-aid, student loan, or other modalities of StuFAP under this Act, the amount of such other existing grant does not cover the full cost of tertiary education at the HEI or TVI where the applicant has enrolled in, the applicant may still avail of the StuFAPs under this Act for the remaining portion.

A viral photo of a police officer who appears to be pissing in public that is making rounds on social media being said to be misinterpreted by the netizen. The photographer who snapped the photo finally broke his silence to reveal the whole truth behind the viral photo.

Southern Police District (SPD) Director Tomas Apolinario said that the cop was more likely appearing to be just washing his hands. He added that it is so vulgar to a police personnel to be pissing on the street where everybody can see him.  Luis Liwanag, the photographer who actually snapped the viral photo, it was taken last December 2016 in Baclaran on a lunch time.  The cop was washing his hands and was keeping his both feet apart to keep his shoes from being wet. The photographer was surprised to see the photo circulates on the social media with a different context and interpretation.

Do You Need Money For Tuition Fee For The Next School Year? You Need To Watch This Do you need money for your tuition fee to be able to study this coming school year? The Philippine government might be able to help you. All you need to do is to follow these steps:  -Inquire at the state college or university where you want to study.  -Bring Identification forms. If your family is a 4Ps subsidiary, prepare and bring your 4Ps identification card. For families who are not a member of 4Ps, bring your family's proof of income.  -Bring the registration form from your state college or university where you want to study.   Nicholas Tenazas, Deputy executive Director of CHED-UniFAST said that in the program, the state colleges and universities will not collect any tuition fee from the students. The Government will shoulder their tuition fees.  CHED-UniFAST or the Unified Student Financial Assistance For Tertiary Education otherwise known as the Republic Act 10687  which aims to provide quality education to the Filipinos.  What are the qualifications for availing of the modalities of UniFAST?  The applicant for any of the modalities under the UniFAST must meet the following minimum qualifications:  (a) must be a Filipino citizen, but the Board may grant exemptions to foreign students based on reciprocal programs that provide similar benefits to Filipino students, such as student exchange programs, international reciprocal Scholarships, and other mutually beneficial programs;   (b) must be a high school graduate or its equivalent from duly authorized institutions;   (c) must possess good moral character with no criminal record, but this requirement shall be waived for programs which target children in conflict with the law and those who are undergoing or have undergone rehabilitation;   (d) must be admitted to the higher education institution (HEI) or TVI included in the Registry of Programs and Institutions of the applicant’s choice, provided that the applicant shall be allowed to begin processing the application within a reasonable time frame set by the Board to give the applicant sufficient time to enroll;   (e) in the case of technical-vocational education and training or TVET programs, must have passed the TESDA screening/assessment procedure, trade test, or skills competency evaluation; and   (f) in the case of scholarship, the applicant must obtain at least the score required by the Board for the Qualifying Examination System for Scoring Students and must possess such other qualifications as may be prescribed by the Board.
