New7Wonders of Nature Provisional Winners Announced, Puerto Princesa Underground River Included!

New7Wonders of the World (2001-2007) was an initiative started in 2001 by the Swiss corporation New7Wonders Foundation to choose Wonders of the World from a selection of 200 existing monuments. A popularity poll was led by Canadian-Swiss Bernard Weber and organized by the New7Wonders Foundation based in Zurich, Switzerland, with winners announced on July 7, 2007 in Lisbon. The New7Wonders Foundation is regulated by the Swiss Federal Foundation Authority as all nationwide-active foundations in Switzerland are.

SSS & Philpost Tie Up for Unified ID System

Monday, July 18, 2011, my office mate and I went to SSS, Puerto Princesa to apply for SSS Unified ID. First, we secured an application form. After filling out this form, we went out to get a number from the security guard and waited for calling our numbers. As my number was called, I submitted the form and they asked for my two valid IDs - I presented my BIR TIN and PhilHealth IDs. After a while, gave me the Acknowledgment Slip. I was advised to get new number for picture ID processing. When my number was called I went to a small booth where they took a photo of mine. According to them, they will send me my ID through Postal Office not less than six (6) months onwards. However, it took a year before they have delivered me my UMID. Anyway, I like the design of it.
