How To Get A Digitized Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) ID?

In Philippines, the government and other private sectors are getting strict in their implementations. Sometimes, there are transactions we made between their offices that we need to present our valid identification card. When we also open or create a bank account, valid ID is also a requirement. When we go to remittance centers to receive money or any consignment from our love ones in other areas, they asked again for a valid identification card.




But what if the person is not employed and doesn’t even have driver’s license, passport or any other type of valid IDs, of course, it is a big problem to them.


The good thing is that the government started to issue the Tax Payer Identification Number (TIN) Card to be used in any government transactions in the country including private transactions. For those who have already Tin no. but has no Tin No. Card could avail of this. Just take note that having more than one Tin No. is not allowed because you can be charged criminally.




This initiative is under the Executive Order 98 where a person could apply in their Revenue District Office which has jurisdiction over their location. The said identification card has no expiration date and free for the public.

Requirements:

The following are needed when you apply for a digitized TIN ID.
  • Copy of your NSO Birth Certificate
  • Valid ID (Driver’s License, SSS, Passport, COMELEC ID)

Steps on How to Apply:

  • Go to nearest BIR office with the jurisdiction of the place where you work/reside.
  • Ask for a TIN Application form. You will need BIR Form 1904 for EO 98.
  • Fill out the form and submit to the counter along with your proof of identification.
  • Receive your Tax Identification Number.
  • Request for a BIR ID which you are entitled to under E0 98.
The processing of TIN No. Card could take only less than hour, but for busy BIR offices, you may have to come back in another day to claim your ID.

OFW Tips: Mga Dapat Gawin Pagkatapos ng Contract sa Abroad

For our Filipino Overseas Workers abroad, hardworking for more than a year has an ending process. Everyone deserves to have a complete rest from tiredness of working and exhausting problems in life. We need to work for us to survive but we also need to stop from working when we know it’s over.



Well, OFWs may stop from their labors if they retire or their contract would end. But if that might happen, what happens next to their future and their family?


Here are some tips you can follow if you want to stay in the Philippines for good when it happens. Always be in mind that a comfortable life is not that easy if we won’t be clever.


1. Pay all your existing debts.

It is normal for OFWs and their family to be engaged in a big amount of debt, especially for those newbie ones. They may apply for loans in order to pay their placement fee before going abroad but as much as possible, before or after going back to the Philippines, payback them all to avoid a big interest in the end.

2. Save money.

After paying all the debts you had, it is now also the time to save money. Saving is so much important because you don’t know the future might be so if possible put in the bank at least 20% of your salary and do not use it unless it is really an emergency.



3. Live within your means.

Try to control your splendor or any extravagance. You should have to limit spending too much. We know that Filipino are sometimes fun of collections and buying everything they want but you can’t be one of them if you just only know how to resist.

4. Start a business as soon as possible.

Even while you are still working outside the country, you can do it so. Think of a business to put up and let your family manage it in your absent until you decide to stay in the Philippines.

Be a manager of your decisions. Bring effort to do what are necessary to help your lifestyle be better after working for many years. Think more than twice and wise.

How To Renew Your Philippine Passport While Abroad?

Can I renew my Philippine Passport while I am in abroad? How long does it take to renew it? What are then the requirements? These are just some of the queries that a traveler may know about the actions to be taken. If you are one of them, focus your eyes on reading.

According to the new law signed by our dear president, the Philippine passport will now be valid for 10 years from its previous 5 years of validity. The Republic Act # 10928 that amends the Sec. 10 of RA no. 8239 or the Philippine Passport Act of 1966, states that those regular passports issued under this act shall be valid for a span of 10 years. However,  those passports which were also issued under the old law will only be valid for 5 years.



In addition, those carriers of passports below 18 years of age will be only issued valid for only 5 years and passport validity of less than 10 years may be issued whenever in the National economic interest or political stability of the country such restriction is necessary.



How about now those Filipino travelers who are in abroad especially OFWs who are about to expire their passports? Do they need to return in our country just to renew their passports? The answer is NO.

Once a Philippine Passport will expire and the holder is outside the country, they have a 1 year renewal period to process their passports. The best part then is that, even in their working place (outside the Philippines), they can now renew it.  What they just to submit are the documents to prove their identification and legality. It includes the following:

  •  the latest passport you had
  • accomplished passport application form from the country you are in, be sure that it is printed in blue or black ink only. 
  • any proof that the applicant can provide that would say he/she has not applied for foreign citizenship, e. g.  resident alien card (green card) 
  • self-addressed return envelope, with appropriate stamps for express or priority mail with tracking nos.  Via US postal service; or with prepaid mailing envelope from private courier of choice if passports is to be mailed back. 
  • passport  fee of $60.00 (non-refundable), payable in cash,  or money order,  bank draft,  certified check or cashier's check made payable to "Embassy of the Philippines" (or "Philippines Consulate General; " if application is made at one of the Philippine Consulates General in the U. S). Personal checks and credit cards are not accepted."
  • at least one (1) photocopy of each of the data page/s of the passport; (pages 1-3 for the brown passport or page 1 for the green passport)
  • photocopy of any valid identification card where the middle name is fully spelled out: (State ID,  driver's license,  birth certificate, marriage certificate, or baptismal certificate (if applicant's passport is the brown one) 




Note that these following documents are required in the U.S. A renewal of Philippine Passports only.  Firstly, you may ask the country your residing by this time if you need to prepare them.  There might be documents which were added or lessened so be sure to check.

The process of renewing the said passport is by visiting the Phil.  Embassy in your host country and submit the documents to the consulate general. He will be the one in charge in notifying the Department of Foreign Affairs in Manila about it and it will take approximately 8 weeks for your passport to be process completely.



If your option is to personally claim your passport, you can't include the 4th requirements  from the list above.  However, if you're not around in the deadline time to claim your passport, you can assign somebody to get it in the Philippine Embassy. He/she must only present the authorisation letter signed by you,  your old passport, your valid ID photo,  and valid ID of the claimee as well.

New Multi-Purpose NBI Clearance Can NOW Use in Any Transaction!

The new featured National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Clearance has been released and is now “multi-purpose” since we can use it for any transaction here in the Philippines if required, as well as in abroad.



The said clearance is amounting to Php115 per copy and was started to release in public by the NBI office last October 2. This clearance can be utilized in a job application, gun licensing, acquiring a visa and for travel abroad.


According to Atty. Dante Gierran, the current NBI Director of the Philippines, this action was taken to address the mandate of our Pres. Duterte in simplifying the transactions in the government. As we all know, in our every transaction to NBI before in applying for clearance, we are only allow to put one purpose in every clearance and it’s really irritating because we can’t longer use it to extra transaction in other agencies but now through this response, it will lessen the hassle in our part as client. We can save more money, effort, and time in only one transaction in the said bureau.



The multi-purpose clearance has a validity of one year and you can renew it once you reach its expiration date. One thing more, if the person was hit or has the same name in the records of the National Bureau of Investigation who has a criminal record, the processing of his clearance is now easier and convenient since he only needs to appear once in the NBI office to clarify the issue without any charges.  According to Att. Yap in an interview, the first thing to do if you encounter a problem like this is you need to know the case. During the interview, it will be determined if indeed it was you. If there is a doubt, you will need to secure then a clearance from the court to prove that it was not you.

Single Parent: How To File a Child Support in the Philippines?

Filipino women are known for their being modest because of the practices and cultures of our country that mold and defined them. As years passed by, modernization has evolved that changed lives of people. Those cultures and tradition then that we inherited to our pedigrees were forgotten. Issues about pre-marital sex that leads to the early pregnancy of women are very rampant in the society. The worst, their partners neglected them and let them suffer in the end.



On his generation, getting involved in separation that ended in being a single parent especially for women is no longer new or surprising to everybody. Single mothers who are the common victims are the ones that experience the hardship to take good care of their children in order to give them a brighter future. But being a mother as well as a father is not an easy role. For this days, the status of being jobless has nearly similarities with the status of having a job because of our poor economy. However, for you to maintain an adequate financial support to your children, you can make a move to demand child’s support from your ex-spouse or ex-partner. 


As stated in the Family Code of the Philippines, “When one of the spouses neglects his/her duties to the conjugal union or commit acts which tend to danger, dishonor or injury to the other or to the family, the aggrieved party may apply to the court for relief.” The act also included the economic abuse in which you may file for your child support and whoever breaks this law will be penalized accordingly.



All you need to do before taking any steps is to prepare for everything. Of course, once you file in court regarding your concern, you need to prepare fund for court fees. Not all who ask for support can pay the fees, however, if you really don’t have the money, the government will provide one of your counsel that belongs to the Public Attorney’s Office, Department of Justice or the Department of Social Welfare and Development, depending on the case. The protection order is issued by the court and in some cases, this is the privilege given to the aggrieved party to protect them.



The Regional Trial Court who has also the function to be the family court will hear and decide the case. The mother’s child will be the one who will file for his child’s support and as stated in the law, 7 years of age should be under the custody of their mother.

Once the court will grant the demand for the support of the child from his father, it is then the responsibility of the latter to abide by rules of law. Support is applied for legitimate and even illegitimate children by fathers depending on their capacity to provide. According to the law, “support comprises everything indispensable for sustenance, dwelling, clothing, medical attendance, education, and transportation, in keeping with the financial capacity of the family.” So as a parent, you should not be obliged or forced to support your children but you should be full-time to give them the support, love, and care they need.



Even separation is the gap between the mother and father, this would not be the hindrance for each of the parents to provide the attention and support needed by their children.

This is the Sign to Quit your Job

Working every day is tiresome. Sometimes, it would lead a person to think too much. They end up with the ideas that they want to leave their workplace, to stop from working or even to look for another job. There are many reasons that cause them to think like this.



Even I act this way sometimes.
But do you feel when it will be the right time to quit your job?

Resigning or quitting a job is never been easy. Nowadays, looking for a job is quite very tough to everybody. Philippines who has 7.3 percent as the highest unemployment rate among its ASEAN nationals only proves the difficulty of unemployment in our country. Of course, I know you don’t want to be one of them.


According to career experts, before quitting a job you should have to consider new opportunities of job lined up. But if you experience the following signs in your workplace, then it’s the right time for you to seek a new position in other companies.



If you feel that your daily life is miserable, prepare your plan to start looking for another journey. If you are unhappy with your job and feels tardiness in the morning before entering your work, it is really the defined time. According to Susan Health field, the guide to Human Resources for About.com, ‘’Hating your job can lead to a stress that affects the family relationship, your health, and your entire outlook”.  Forcing yourself to do the things you don’t want will eventually kill you.

It will really take time for you to adjust to your new job but after a year of working and you notice that your job, the same through with your boss and co-employees does not actually fit you, it might be your time to leave. It’s not about gathering friends but looking for a mentor whom will able to help you grow and productive.



Our health is very much important. Job stress can contribute to sickness. “Chronic job strain can put both your physical and emotional health at risk,” according to Paul J. Rosch, MD, the president of the American Institute of Stress, so to avoid from getting this kind of problem, choose to be happy, quit from all the roots of your unhappiness.

Another reason is the salary. If you wish to get six figures of salary in a month that your company can’t give you where you believe you are excelling and doing your part but still they are giving you low pay then depart. Look for another company that will value you more.

It’s all about discretion.  If you feel stagnant and not productive in your work because you feel boredom at all times, if you feel that your boss is abusive, terrible and demanding, if your skills are no longer in used because you are over qualified for your position, if your company has no future because for the succeeding years, they may be bankrupt and if a greener pasture knocks on your door then take it. Do not waste your time, grab it while the iron is hot. Do actions which you believe it will lead you to happier, simple but contented lifestyle.
