The Misadventures of Penoi

My housemates asked me "what is blogging???" I told them blogging is writing everything you want... writing about life, recipes, cars, music, sexcapades etc. And it is true, there is money in blogging if you work for it. You must dedicate some of the time in link building, page optimization and most of all, the working on the blog's content. I also show them some successfull blogs and how they can build their blog network around it. Thru blogging, you gain friends and at the same time enemies if you allow it. Happy blogging to all.

Bad news for the Filipino bloggers. Starting January, Google Adsense will no longer support referrals from the Philippines. Hopefully it will not be a start of banning the Philippines in Adsense.

I was happy when Google added Western Union Quick Cash to deliver earnings and speed up Adsense payments. This morning i went to a Western Union Center here in Batangas to get my earnings. I have Social Security System(SSS) id and Tax Identification Number(TIN) card but they said that my TIN card is not a valid government issued ID card.  Ok,  let me enumerate some of Western Union's so called valid government issued card.

Philippine Regulation Commission(PRC) card - not all people take PRC board exams

Government Service Insurance System(GSIS) card - hey not all people are government employees

Land Transportation Office (LTO) Driver's License - not all people know how to drive

Passport - is passport an identification card??? not all people wants to go abroad

I still believe and campaigning that our TIN card to be considered as a valid government issued ID because it is one of the many proofs that you pay your taxes(?).
