How To Pay Your SSS Contribution

I'm a voluntary member which means I am formerly an employee with an SSS contribution deducted from my monthly salary. I now choose to continue paying my SSS contribution without an employer. You can choose your income bracket here. I pay quarterly so multiply the amount by 3 months and you know how much you should pay at the end of the quarter. To pay your SSS contribution which is what this post is about, you need the PRN or payment reference number generated for you by the SSS.

I registered via sms to 2600. Send TXT to 2600 like this: SSS REG [SSS number] [birthdate mm/dd/yyyy]. Then wait for the confirmation and your PIN.

I requested for my PRN by sending TXT to 2600 like this: SSS PRN [SSS number] [PIN] [birthdate mm/dd/yyy]. Use the PRN to pay for your SSS contribution. Replying to you through your phone the system messages should contain your PRN and the amount you have to pay.

Let me make an example here by using my BAYAD CENTER app. Assuming you have available balance, click on PAY BILLS. Find the biller: SSS Contribution - PRN. In each field enter the PRN, Amount and Cellphone number. Click on NEXT. This will proceed to pay your SSS contribution. Each process sends you an sms and an email.

Note there's an SSS app in Android. But when I click the Generate PRN/SOA nothing happens. Useless.

Mailvelope, Encryption for Webmail

Encryption is the topic of week. I wrote about it in a related post here. While encryption is a very good idea, doing it and doing it every day as part of your work flow is another thing. My view is that if you're already using an email client then it is easier, simpler and more convenient to adopt encryption. That is not the case if you're using a webmail service. If you are using the browser to check, compose and send your email, what are your options? The answer is: it's complicated. Looking for a way to do encryption with Google Chrome and Gmail, I found this. I also read that Google just released code for email encryption as open source. But it's a long way to being used by end users. The extension for Google Chrome works fine if the recipient also uses Google Chrome. But I went ahead and check this on Evolution.

Webapps in Unity

So it has been 4 months since Ubuntu 14.04 came out. This is LTS and supported for 6 years by Canonical. The first mobile device with Ubuntu pre-installed is promised to come out later this year, 2014. It's time to check out how the apps perform so far. It is a good idea. I use Gmail and Twitter and Facebook. Why not a webapp in a desktop? So I start the Twitter and Gmail webapp. So far it has crashed my computer 6 times. Not a very good sign. On the other hand it does work but not as stable as opening them in Firefox. -- Use my PGP key if you want to encrypt your replies/messages to me. You are invited to also send me your PGP keys so we can communicate in private.

Donald Trump Is The 45th President of the United States

and he is preparing to move with his transition team into the Oval Office. His election is a shock to many political observers and the world in general. Donald Trump, the president-elect, ran against Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State and for many the most qualified candidate for the presidency in many years. This has led to many post election analysis of how this upset happened. The numbers of votes for each candidate and the comparisons with previous presidential elections point to the fact that the white vote for Mr. Trump is solid all throughout but the minority and black votes did not come for Mrs. Clinton. This is what happened in crucial States like Michigan and Florida. The Republicans kept Congress and the Senate. It is quite notable that Russia and in particular, Vladimir Putin, is happy that they are going to talk to Mr. Trump rather than Mrs. Clinton. It is also a ...
