I finally got my SOA (Statement of Account) and made the payment yesterday. It took so long for the files to upload, even the payment took so long. I asked the teller how much he can process for a day and he said about 30 only. Can you imagine that? This is because their system is so slow. I even suggested that since taxpayers double yearly they should have anticipated it and had an upgrade in their system. Still sucks big time…I am asked again to come back to claim my business permit on the 17th. I think it would be wise if I go back a week after it’s due to be released. I have a strong hunch that it won’t come out as scheduled.

It’s the time of the year once again. I’m talking about renewals of business permits, payment of real property taxes (with 20% discount), securing Barangay Clearance, SSS Clearance, BIR payments, etc. I was able to start taking care of all these only yesterday since I was in a more important duty prior to this. Again I was able to do a sidetrip to the mall since Manila City Hall is just across SM Manila. I was able to get some good deals (I mostly purchase branded items when on sale) like 50% off for a Nike running shoes which I will use for my aerobic thingy. I got a shirt from Esprit too also for the fitness thingy. I was able to get a shirt from Bench using only my loyalty card, yay! Now that’s what you call business with pleasure!
