SSS Media Advisory: Delay in the crediting of benefits and pensions The Social Security System (SSS) informs its members, pensioners and the general public that there will be a delay in crediting of benefit proceeds and pension for those processed from August 25, 2022 onwards because of the ongoing restoration of the connectivity between its participating disbursement banks and the SSS’ servers. This is due to a fire that broke out at the UPS Room located at the ground floor of the SSS Building in Quezon City last August 28, 2022. The SSS is asking for patience and understanding for this current situation while all concerted and immediate efforts are being made to restore the crediting back to normal operations. Meanwhile, the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP), which serves as the disbursement facility that credits the monthly pensions to the pensioners' accounts, has successfully processed the crediting of the first batch of pensions for September 2022. However, due to the technical issue encountered upon processing of the second batch of pensions, DBP will process its crediting on September 16, 2022 and pensions are expected to be credited to the pensioners’ accounts on September 16, 2022 at 4:00 p.m. onwards. Online filing through the My.SSS portal is now in full operation effective September 1, 2022. Members can already submit their benefit claims applications using the said portal.

Wazzup Pilipinas founder featured on Montalban News & Public Affairs

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

I am proud to announce that the Influencers tour of Montalban that I organized to help boost tourism for Montalban will soon be happening on September 22 to 23 starting with an overnight stay at a camp site (doing several activities onsite), then the actual tour around Montalban seeing the attractions like the Wawa grounds, Rodriguez Ancestral home, etc. and trying out a few dining places on the second day.

This will be a series, inviting a group of influencers (content creators, Instagrammers, TikTokers, YouTubers, etc.) on a regular basis...like maybe once a month or every quarter, depending on availability of all involved and those interested to visit and play a greater role for our Montalban tourism campaign. 

The tour will also be featured as among the initial episodes of a new livestreaming mobile app (similar to Netflix but with pure Philippine content) that will be launched in Japan this October, then eventually in the Philippines.

Being a resident of Montalban, it is with great pride that I will be contributing in my own little way something to help our municipality progress by aiming to make it among the preferred destinations of both local and foreign tourists. 

A more agressive tourism campaign brings in more people to visit and potential investors to consider setting up their new business endeavors here, and thus would eventually create jobs and other possibilities for the benefit of the people of Montalban.

More power to the people of Montalban and thank you to the assistance of the Montalban tourism office, the office of the Mayor, the establishments who were eager to join, the influencers all excited with the tour, and everyone else who were all eager to participate in one way or another in this first run!

"ISANG INFLUENCER, MAY PROGRAMANG BINUKSAN UPANG PALAKASIN ANG TURISMO SA MONTALBAN

Inanunsyo ng advocate at influencer na si Ross del Rosario ng Wazzup Pilipinas sa kaniyang Facebook post ang inorganisa niyang “Influencers tour of Montalban” na mangyayari sa darating na September 22-23, 2022.

Layunin umano ni del Rosario na makatulong sa pagpapalakas ng kampanya sa turismo sa bayan ng Montalban. Ang naturang influencer ay residente ng Brgy. San Isidro at naitampok na sa iba't ibang palabas sa telebisyon.

Itatampok at mapapanood din umano ang kanilang gagawing “tour” bilang parte ng initial episodes nila sa bagong livestreaming mobile app na ilulunsad sa Japan ngayong Oktubre, at maipapalabas din sa Pilipinas.

Proud na proud naman si del Rosario na ipakilala sa buong Pilipinas at buong mundo ang ganda ng Montalban sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang plataporma.

Nagbigay din ng paanyaya ang founder ng Wazzup Pilipinas sa mga nais maitampok na kainan at mga tourist attraction sa kanilang proyekto. Maaaring magmessage sa kanilang official facebook page para sa iba pang impormasyon." - Montalban News & Public Affairs

In its 21st edition, Pelicula Spanish Film Festival to screen regionally, including screenings in Malaysia and Australia

Wazzup Pilipinas!?




One of the highlights of this year’s Pelicula Spanish Film Festival besides its return to the theaters in the Philippines is its expansion regionally with online screenings happening in Malaysia and Australia.

Owing to the success of the festival since its first run in 2002 by Instituto Cervantes de Manila, PELíCULA has been an annual attraction in Philippine theatres. Since then, countless films have been screened in theaters in the Philippines and have grown a steady following among Filipino film fans.

With this success, Instituto Cervantes Manila now expands its program to other neighboring countries including Malaysia and Australia.

Beyond the promotion of Spanish cinema, the festival is committed to and strives to be a catalyst in the promotion of regional understanding through cultural means where we can all feast on masterpieces of Spanish cinema.

 

With the Covid-19 crisis, which forced countries to tightly close borders and caused tragic effects on our social and cultural life, the festival can be a good opportunity and a good platform to ease the impacts of the pandemic as we slowly return to normalcy. Furthermore, films always have the potential to bring people together and ease our cultural differences, and linguistic divides, and allow us to experience our shared humanity.


Pelicula: Spanish Film Festival

Now in its 21st edition, the PELÍCULA Spanish Film Festival is one of the most successful film festivals of Instituto Cervantes globally showcasing a variety of acclaimed Spanish films while fostering better communication between cultures through the art of filmmaking, cinema, and cultural exchange. Its goal is to connect both Spanish and Filipino cultures and audiences through this choice selection of award-winning films. This year, the festival will run from October 5 to 16.

PELíCULA 2022 is an initiative of Instituto Cervantes in Manila, Sydney, and Kuala Lumpur, the Embassies of Spain in the Philippines and Australia, and the AECID, in collaboration with the Film Development Council of the Philippines, ICAA, the Embassy of Colombia in the Philippines, the Embassy of Panama in the Philippines, the UP Film Institute, the University of the Philippines and Intramuros Administration, Acciona, Vibal Foundation, Philippine Transmarine Carriers, and Rustan’s.

All the movies are in Spanish (or their original language) with English subtitles. For updates on the Festival, please visit the website of the Festival (https://pelikula.org) or the Facebook page of Instituto Cervantes de Manila: www.facebook.com/InstitutoCervantesManila.
