And quite glad too that at the very least we have someone, who is not from the government, taking care of this effort. So here’s the deal. Ever since I went freelance, I had stopped paying my SSS contribution. It was one of the things I wanted to pay independently, and going through this transition is in theory very easy to do. But the government officials who I talked to behind the desk made payment so hard to do! Talk about making things difficult. I mean, I’m already giving you my money and you’re making it hard for me to do so (click here for radio drama)! [...] [...] I was amazed that a service like this existed.

I have a funny TIN story of my own. Turns out for the past 5 years I'd been using the TIN number of my first company, and I had no fucking idea. And neither did any of the companies who hired me! Idiots. I think I read this somewhere before, it was fucking hilarious.

It took an entire day convincing the BIR to give me one! Me: Aapply po ako for TIN number. Lady: Kailangan mo ng kompanya. Me: Hindi po ako regular employee, freelancer ako. Lady: Hindi mo kailangan ng TIN number. Me: Kailangan ko daw po. Lady: Kailangan mo ng kompanya. Due to my insistence, and ping-ponging between several floors. They finally gave me one. At the same time that a company applied me for one. End result? I have 2 TIN numbers!!! I don't know how that happened. I had to apply for my own TIN number!
