MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – As a fitting celebration of the Philippines’ Independence Day, the government tody inaugurated its free wi-fi service for Filipinos, starting with the entire stretch of EDSA, Metro Manila’s main thoroughfare.
The always reliable GMA News is also reporting that when completed, the project — a campaign promise by President Rodrigo Duterte — will extend all the way to Cuba!
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The computer glitch this week at the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) that left thousands with either negative or blown up accounts will definitely have an adverse effect on the bank’s operations and customer base.
The internal system error caused the bank’s ATM machines and online banking to go offline for days.
In an effort to lessen the negative impact of the glitch on its banking business, the BPI board of directors today announced that it has launched a new banking service that it expects to be glitch-free and safe from systems errors or even hacking.
The new service is called “BPIoffline.”
MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Thousands of Metro Manila commuters missed their trains this morning because of the glitch that hit the computer systems of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) yesterday.
Many employees reported late for work while students missed their classes.
The mess began at around 7:45 a.m. when commuters started lining up to get to the MRT stations. Many noticed that the queues were unusually long. But they persisted.
It was not until about 9:00 a.m that the commuters realized that they have been lining up in the wrong queue. The long lines were actually leading to nearby branches of BPI. Bank customers were lining up to get to the ATMs and their bank to withdraw cash or to find out whether their accounts were affected by the nationwide internal system error at BPI.
Moral of the story: don’t just follow the crowd. Investigate!
