Withdrawing PayPal funds thru BPI-bank account.

    So,when i was on vacation somebody broke in the house we rented and stole my bag, wallet(contains my ID's and Bank cards). Including my EON-Unionbank card. Which i used to link my paypal with, EON has no bank deduction every paypal transactions. Except a 350.00php charge annually. So,when my bank cards was stolen, i decided not to renew my EON card since i have to pay a 350php to get a new card and for an annual fee which doesn't make sense and I obviously don't want to waste my 350 pesos by getting an EON. I ended up deciding to get a replacement BPI card instead. The funny thing was that, it was a reported stolen card, but surprisingly i 'need' to pay a 100php for the card? Why BPI? As if its my free will to call that thief to steal my card so that I can ask BPI a new card? Bank in the Philippines is ridiculously funny. 

    After weighing things on which is which of my cards I should get a new card with, i ended up choosing BPI, since it is no maintaining balance to keep card active, except  a 5.00php deduction every withdrawals. After placing my withdrawal in PayPal i choose transfer to bank account, it takes 2-3 business days(meaning only monday-friday with no holidays).
(Unionbank(EON) doesn't put additional charge but, it does charge an annual fee of 350.00-which is also considered expensive to have an EON. 

   Before to do so,you have to add your bank account first to PayPal, provide your designated bank and provide the designated bank codes. Bank codes are containing of at least nine(9) numbers. 
(Make sure to choose 'bank account' withdrawal for a cheaper transfer deduction, because the withdrawal under 'bank card'paypal charges 250.00php+the bank charges which is also 150.00 from Bank of the Philippines(BPI). 
   
  After 3days of waiting my money from Paypal was successful added to my BPI account. 

*if i am ask which bank to choose between BPI and Unionbank, i probably choose BPI for multi-functional usage of cards.* 

My review between the two banks.
Unionbank =2 stars of 5.
BPI= 3 stars of 5.

So since arriving Canada 8-months ago, I have been so busy, schedule are filled plus being a mommy and wife. I don't complain, I can't complain this is the life I imagine when I was still in the Philippines. Anyway, fast forward I don't want to bore you guys. I got this new model smartphone for my birthday last month. This is Huawei P10 lite, on the other hand, this model is fairly new, came out of the market at April 2017, it's not even available in Canada yet. Long story short, I have been trying to figure out how to put my second simcard into it since this is dual simcard phone, it's just doesn't work with 2-nano sims and micro SD at the same time.  I have been trying to watch YouTube but no luck because people just posted video of him installing the simcard? I mean really??? Who

A visit to:    1. Katibawasan Falls - has an entrance fee of 30/person. A measurement of 75meters long, thin water fall but very refreshing. We visited there with dark clouds and sprinkles of rain, it was really foggy which makes the water even colder. Falls is shallow and gets deeper beyond the rope. Whole Katibawasan Falls picture.         'A fogs at Katibawasan Falls'    2. Tuasan Falls- a measurement of more or less 20meters long. A cooler water which also refreshing after a long drive of under the sun-scooter.   So cool, its surprising to have a fewer tourist around.Nothing to worry, falls is really too shallow to swim,completely safe.Its at the top of the mountain. Almost the same trail going to the famous Hibok-Hibok Mountain. I was chilling while letting the family have a refreshing waterfalls swim.     My boys before going to the water. 3. BeeHive Farm - also a restaurant to where they are famous about their 'stuffed coconut' which made of fresh coconut(buko)
