BPI Trade Still Offline Tomorrow - May 19, 2014

Update: BPI Trade is back online Monday afternoon.

BPI Trade, the online stock trading service of BPI Capital notified their clients Sunday night that they will still be offline until Monday, May 19, 2014. This will be the second trading day that the service will be unavailable. During the weekend, the website is accessible but the stock positions as well as other information are not available.

To at least minimise the inconvenience, BPI Trade offers alternative ways to post orders.

1. Call them through these numbers: 816-9189, 816-9192 and 845-5617 (Manila)

2. For those who can't call, you can also post orders via email, bpitrade@bpi.com.ph
BPI Trade says that they will take manual orders as early as 7:30 AM tomorrow.




Offline for Four Days, BPI Trade Gets Brunt From Customers

BPI Trade's announcement Sunday sparked more anger from clients. The announcement mentioned that the website will be under "further maintenance". Some reasoned that 4 days of maintenance is not acceptable. Others speculated that BPI Trade is just covering up with "maintenance" a bigger problem such as a faulty system update. Others even demands that BPI Trade allow transfer of funds to other brokers, free of charge.

Every minute counts to stock traders. Stock prices can rise and fall significantly within a short period of time. Glitches like this can spell up to millions of pesos of loss. No wonder why BPI Trade, despite heavily apologising in their Twitter account and Facebook Page still received the brunt of angry customers.

BPI Trade Makeover

BPI Trade had a major makeover last year when it released a new version of their stock trading platform. Now, they closely resemble First Metro Sec, which like them, uses Technistock trading platform. They also improved in Research capabilities.


BPI is among the three most popular online trading platform in the country. The other two are Citisec Online (COL) and First Metro Securities.

4 Steps to Replace Stolen or Lost Passbook

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.

Resigning? SSS Will Deduct Your Loan Balance from Your Last Pay

The purpose of this article is to inform the public about this policy of the Social Security System (SSS), the government-owned insurance company for those employed in the private sector. I just learned about this a few months ago when my company announced a workforce reduction program. Among the sad discussions is about this policy of SSS regarding loans in cases of resignation or retrenchment. Section G-2 of the SSS Loan Terms and Conditions (at the back of the loan application form) explicitly says the following: "The employer shall deduct the total balance of the loan from any benefit/s due to the employee and shall remit the same in full to SSS, in case the member-borrower is separated voluntarily (e.g., retirement or resignation) or involuntarily (e.g., termination of employment or cessation of operations of the company)." In other words, y ou will be required to pay the rest of your loan (including the interest) when you change employer or employment statu

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

My dad needs a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. I did a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, it depends on many factors, such as which body part is to be scanned. There's also this technique called "MRI with contrast," wherein the patient will be injected with a chemical to make the scan clearer. For your information, this technique of adding contrast is known as  Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure, but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis. MRI Machine KasugaHuang , CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link So, in my father's case, we had a  Prostate MRI,  and I assume it was without contrast since he was never injected with the "contrast" chemicals. We got it in  i-Scan Healthcare Inc.  here in Quezon City. The cost is  13000 Pesos . Please take note that the amount was just for the scan, and a separate professional will read the result. Some laboratories offer this service (i.e
