A month or two ago, I was informed that my Unified Multi-Purpose
Identification Card (UMID) is already available for pick up. I just have to
bring a photocopy of my two (2) valid IDs and go to GSIS Pasig branch. Uhm, I
was like.. bakit sa Pasig? Out of
way. Anyways, I planned to go to their office a couple of times but none of those
planned was pushed through. Until last week, one of our HR staff called me and
told me to prepare a photocopy of my IDs because someone from GSIS Pasig will
be arriving to give our UMID cards. Wow, that was unexpected. Our group won’t
have to travel going to their office. So to make the story short, the GSIS
staff handled us our UMID cards. Indeed very convenient for us. I was very
happy that they even went to our office for that. Two thumbs up! Thank you.
Another good thing was, my UMID card account was issued by
Landbank. Well, the old ones were from Union Bank, then they were given an
option to have their accounts transferred to Landbank which was pretty
inconvenient. I went to the nearest Landbank ATM machine to change my UMID card
PIN. After two days, I went to the nearby GSIS Wireless Automated Processing
System or GWAPS to check the status of my card. By the ways, if you are from
Bicutan, Taguig, you can find the GWAPS facility inside the Department of
Education Building near Upper Bicutan Elementary School/Taguig Hall of
Justice/Taguig City University. You should ask the guard on duty that you are
looking for the GSIS kiosk and you will be asked to sign their logbook. You
will then be directed to go inside a room where the kiosk is located. Ah well,
it was awkward that the kiosk is located inside an office, which was just a
step or two away from the first table occupied by one of the room’s staff. The
staff was actually there while I was busy checking my data in the kiosk. I updated my contact number. It was
uncomfortable because he can clearly see what I was doing especially that I was
planning to renew my consolidated loan that time hahaha. Anyways, eh ano naman, hindi naman kami magkakilala. I was
more concerned with the security of the transaction I was being made that time.
You can view your data and loan history in the kiost. My first consoloan was 3
years ago and decided to renewed it. They will deducting my balance to my new
loan.
The following day, I went to our Accountant’s secretary to
inform his boss that I just renewed my consoloan but I was informed that he has
already approved it. Wow, that was really fast. Good job Sir Johnny hehe. So by
this time, I am just waiting for GSIS to process my loan. Let us see if how
long they will be processing my loan renewal. I will just be updating this post
later.
