This is not a rant post but I am sharing you my horrible story about the postcards that I sent to my friends/family in the Philippines.

I remembered I mailed 15 postcards last August and I was shocked that ONLY 3 received the postcards. I asked my friends if they have received it, and it's NEGATIVE.

So, I guess, this is confirmed. Postal Mail Service in the Philippines is DEAD.

Even their website (https://www.phlpost.gov.ph) doesn't have a customer support service form or contact information. And, the tracking feature is also unavailable. And btw, their Twitter account (@phlpost) is owned by a specific person, Who is SHE?

If you are sending an important documents or packages, I advise you to use commercial mailing services like Fedex or DHL which you can easily track your mail/package through their website or just call their customer support and they will able to help you to locate it.

Alright, I am now convinced NOT TO SEND anything to the Philippines using Phil Post.

 

Poor Service!

IN TAGLISH: Mababaw man or sabihin postcard lang yan, the fact that I took effort in sending it and paid the stamps eh I have the right para magreklamo. Hindi ko nga alam saan magrereklamo?

Feel free to share this horrible story on your timeline, tweets and blogs.

PS: My cousin received her Christmas Card from our cousin from USA (dated in 2012) few weeks ago, so it was a year delayed.  It's better late than never, bwahahaha!

Here are some complains I've researched online, feel free to browse them.

Cash Agad - Partnered by BDO

By daomisyel -

I learned this new BDO feature upon watching my brother's vlog about Cash Agad. He withdrew his money on a partnered branch thru a sari-sari store. On his video, He mentioned that there's a Php 30 transaction fee and it will be deducted from your atm. He outlined the process on his vlog, first you need enter your pin from the small electronic device and check your balance. Then you need to confirm the amount you're withdrawing. Once the machine confirmed your transaction, the store associate will hand over the cash amount you wanted to encash. It's a very easy transaction especially if you live far away from the ATM machines. To avoid stress and anxiety, I suggest you withdraw during daytime and check the nearest location with you first. I don't know if they have a list of partners on BDO website or if you can check it thru the app (I'm going to confirm). Since we're still living on a pandemic, it is really hard to withdraw cash. Well, I don't carry cash

Why Solar Energy Will Change the World in the Near Future

By daomisyel -

 Did you know that the Earth receives more energy from the sun in one hour than the amount of energy that all of humanity consumes in one year, which is 17.7 terawatts-hour? 1 terawatt-hour is equivalent to 1 trillion watt-hours or 1 billion kilowatt-hours. This means that the potential of solar energy in powering the whole world is very big. In fact, in terms of energy potential, solar energy dwarfs all the other types of energy sources, renewables and fossil fuels alike. The comparison of the total energy potentials for each energy sources is shown below: As we can see, the energy potential of solar is so huge that it is even more than all the other energy sources combined! Because of this, as of the current state of solar PV technology, we would only need to fill 496,805 square kilometers with solar panels to power the whole world. This is a land area that is only almost as big as Spain. The International Energy Agency is also projecting that solar energy will be our primary source
