ACHIEVE PROJECT: Chapter 1 This was my first time ACHIEVE PROJECT: Chapter 1 This was my first time to make a bid for a Pag-IBIG acquired property and reading the various stories of success and failure in trying to acquire such properties, I did not know what to expect. For one, the property is located in a well-known village so I anticipated some competition. I also did not want to make an offer that is beyond my budget and the value of the properties there as I was able to determine. So when it came to putting my bid offer, I ultimately went with a bit of symbolism as my bid price actually reflected my date of birth (in yyyymmd0 format) for a bit of luck. Though making selections based on my birth date had not been effective a lot, especially in lottery so I was both hoping for the best and bracing for the worst. I submitted my offer on July 5 and my offer is to be opened and reviewed a week later. More than a week later, on July 14, I received a text message informing me that my offer was accepted. It was an unexpected but welcome news for someone like who was doing the acquired asset thing for the first time. I was then asked to go to the Pag-IBIG office the following week to pay the reservation fee and claim the Notice of Award. For the purchase of the lot, I chose to do it via long-term installment so I had to submit some documents which I completed that week as well. I then underwent a credit investigation by Pag-IBIG which involved not emailing my clients but also visiting me at home (no joke). Fortunately, my request had been approved and I am set to finalize the transaction tomorrow! I thank the Father for this milestone! Now the real work begins. And I think I’ll need some help.

    TRO on Torre de Manila (In Time for Rizal’s Birthday)

    June 19, 2015

    Today happens to be the birthday of the Philippines’ National Hero, Jose Rizal. It feels so apt to talk about the development that happened  a few days ago which seemed to be intentionally done as a birthday gift of sorts to Rizal. I’m talking about the temporary restraining order issued by the Supreme Court against our favorite developer DMCI to stop the construction activity going on at the “national photobomber,” the 46-storey Terror, este Torre de Manila.
