After nearly decade, filed with SSS for retirement benefits

Wheels of Happiness

My classmate Graciano de los Santos who worked at SSS Sta Lucia, and Joshua Noble, a kapadyak all volunteered to process my retirement benefits at SSS.  I demurred because they said, when you get the lump sum, you suddenly fall ill and enter into end of life situation.  That is a fearful scenario and there is always denying that would not happen to you.

And so finally, last Friday, we went to SSS to apply for the said end of job event, and to the bank, to open a remittance account.  May be after a month, I will get my lump sum.  What to do with this -  buy a Kespor Ti bike?  Ha6

Increasing longevity of Filipinos

Wheels of Happiness

Philippines rank 21st in longevity at an average age of 72.  I have surpassed that boundary.   Tops is Japan with average longevity of 82.   That speaks well of our health care and concern for the seniors.

We however should be cautious about this because that means heavy burden on working class to pay retirement, pension of the seniors.
