Personal items bought abroad are tax free up to a certain amount only.

[machine.pistol]

Up to 500 pesos, duty free. If worth more than 500 pesos, the excess is dutiable.

^^ baka USD 500 ang ibig mong sabihin. Hehe

500 pesos is correct. it started at 50 pesos nga daw.
the regulation is ancient, and the taxman is suggesting it be brought up to date, to a more realistic amount.

If you absolutely have to walk alone, walk on well-lighted, well-traveled walkways and plan your route ahead of time. Avoid places where attackers might hide (spaces between parked cars, overgrown shrubs, and dark passageways) and areas where you might get cornered. Remember that it is best to walk facing traffic.

you have problems with scalawags in uniform:

PNP CITF (Counter-Intelligence Task Force) hotlines are 0998 970 2286 for Smart subscribers and 0995 795 2569 for Globe subscribers.

I once read that 1 way to safe guard your credit card or ATM is to black out the security number or check digit at the back. But you should remember and write it somewhere hidden.

I wonder of that's true.

^It should work. But, banks have security feature nowadays to avoid online transactions theft. For instance, BPI has OTP, or one time password, where you will input digits sent to your email or phone before transactions go through.

So regardless whether you have the codes of the cc or not, you should be safe.

As much as possible, avoid withdrawing in malls/stores/or non-bank ATMs. I can enumerate news where hackers have successfully placed skimming devices and these are all non-branch areas.

Better withdraw in bank's branches.

Maroon na ba ang BPI.?. I haven't encountered that yet with them... Only email that you logged in, and confirmation of your completed transaction....but no validation whatsoever before you could transact... What specific transaction/s bro?

With BDO and Citibank, yes, they have that feature. Text on your phone.. and email confirmation of the transaction...

BPI has this OTP. I bought ticket online this week and before it gets paid, I have to go through to this security feature by inputting the codes provided by BPI.

1. What is the BPI One-Time Password (OTP)?
The BPI One-Time Password (OTP) is an added security feature that requires you to enter a unique 6-digit password for your online transactions. The OTP will help us authenticate your identity when you purchase online, thus minimizing the risk of potential fraud. It will be sent to your registered e-mail address or mobile number via SMS.

Thanks bros.,- big help! Yup "online purchases".

I was (inaccurately) thinking "online transactions",- as what you normally do when you access your bpiexpressonline account for your savings, investment, loans and credit cards. Here, unlike Citi or BDO,- you're not given an OTP through your handphone to be able to gain access to these accounts.

Good post. Napapanahon.

[unmarked]

For Active Shooter situations, 3 things in order of priority/importance:

1. 'Run' as in evacuate
2. Hide
3. Fight for your life, if 1 & 2 fail.

An active shooter situation usually lasts for minutes only, hence your first response will be extremely critical to your survival.

this life saving safety tips are indeed very helpful.
in fact these tips are being taught during offshore basic fire fighting course sa O&G industry.

kaso kahit meron kang fire fighting training kung naunahan ka ng panic at sumunod sa movement flow ng karamihan ay magiging useless ito.

that's why presence of mind with proper training is still the best shield in case of fire.
yung sa RWM chaos kasi ay dalawa ang naging threat na sabay, the lone gunman and fire created by him kaya naging kumplikado.

if they had realized at that point that the greater danger was the fire, i guess there should not be any casualty with this tragic incident.
