PSA BAKIT DI NYO GAWING MALINAW YUNG BIRTH CERTIFICATE NAMIN?! BAKIT KAILANGAN PA NG LOCAL CIVIL REGISTRY?! INANG GOBYERNO TO

I was born when birth certificates were duplicated with carbon paper. Nagkataon na ang pangit ng carbon copy sa BC ko na-forward sa NSO (now PSA) para ma-scan. Ayon, I have to ask the local civil registrar to send to NSO a certified true copy (photocopy) of my certificate and a letter of explanation. Now, when I get a copy of my BC from the PSA, they produce a cleaner copy.

Filipinos in fact still use dual surnames; we mostly use them either in Spanish or in criminal records. And in Tagalog/Filipino, we call middle names the “panggitnang apelyido” or “apelyido ng ina”. Filipinos using a single surname is an American holdover, and while I think it would be good for us to revert to using two surnames it will be a very tall order to do so.

Notice my occasional use of a double-barreled last name for social media.

Nice! I have yet to do so. Halfway through the 15 books of the Wheel of Time book series.

I just read book 1 of The Wheel of Time. My mood hasn’t swung to read the next book yet. Is reading by audiobook better?

My PE instructor in school once said, "I have two daughters. Both are girls." "Bring me a red pen of any colour."

The instructor is thinking in Tagalog and translate it to English upon speaking. When we translate it back to Tagalog:

“May dalawa akong anak. Parehong babae.”

The mistranslation occurred in “anak” to “daughter”. Tagalog does not have gendered terms for offspring. That is why the second sentence in Tagalog clarifies the gender but totally redundant in English.

Me, a tropical boy, is so confused with Canadian winter.

So, there’s this friend suggestion on Facebook. Versions of Me have different reactions. The council of me decided to defer action on a later time. (https://www.frederickcalica.com/2020/12/10/so-theres-this-friend-suggestion-on-facebook-versions-of-me-have-different-reactions-the-council-of-me-decided-to-defer-action-on-a-later-time/)

This post popped up from Facebook memories. It is probably time to take action, but it is now moot. It is either that the Facebook profile was deleted, or I was pre-emptively blocked.

Lost my one government ID - the UMID. Goes to Philippine Social Security System - SSS to get replacement. Only to be told wala na UMID. MySSS na daw and I can get one by registering anew to the website. Only to be told na need ng government ID to get a MySSS ID. So... paano?

In the meantime, download the eGovPH app and create digital IDs. The digital national ID and Philhealth ID is available there. And lets’s see if those are acceptable when you apply for the physical cards.
