At least 4 people were killed and 14 were injured after an explosion inside a bus. The incident occurred around 2PM today inside an air-conditioned bus travelling north on the EDSA-Buendia, Makati City area. Initial unconfirmed reports points to an explosive placed in the vicinity of the middle of the bus as the cause of the explosion. However, the nature of the explosive is yet to be determined. Those injured were immediately sent to the nearby hospitals in Makati and Taguig (Ospital ng Makati and St. Luke's Medical Center).

The name of the bus line is Newman Goldliner with a plate number TXJ-710. The bus and the surrounding areas are now fully secured as the authorities continues their investigations. According to MMDA, EDSA north-bound lane will be closed indefinitely from Ayala to Buendia. Affected vehicles may take McKinley or Buendia f/o or C5 or SLEX.

SCAM: My First Scam Text This Year; 850000 Pesos from GMA Kapuso Foundation

By Admin
It's a brand new year for everyone, including local scammers. And despite all the efforts by PLDT and Globe Telecom to curb text message scammers, from time to time, they still creep out and show up in our inboxes. And as hard to believe as the messages of winning some great amounts of money is the fact that there are still people who believe them. I personally know someone and that scam text message triggered events that turn her life upside down. So my point is, we still need to be careful regarding these scam messages. The danger is real! So without further ado, here's the scam message I received a few days ago. On Sunday, January 7, 2018 at exactly 3:33PM (PH time), I received this message from a certain Atty.

4 Steps to Replace Stolen or Lost Passbook

By Admin
My passbook (inside my bag) was recently stolen inside a local grocery store, and I would like to share the steps I took to secure my account and get a new passbook.      By User:Aerous ", CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link The steps outlined here are for a BPI savings account, but generally, the procedure will be very similar to other banks in the Philippines. 1. Call the Bank to Secure Your Account The first and most crucial step you need to do immediately is to contact your bank by phone or personally report it to the branch where you opened the account. This action will ensure that funds will stay put. The bank will lock the account immediately. The big banks have 24/7 hotlines. For BPI, it's 889-100. You have to do this step ASAP after discovering the loss. 2. Go to the Branch to Ask for a Replacement of the Passbook It can mean a simple replacement of the lost passbook, but it can also mean closing the entire account and opening a new one for security purposes. 3.
