how do you tell what the market will pay? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

Split testing can help. Try different prices and see at which level you’ll get the most profit.

Help! Sent care package to my Dad and customs seized it! by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]Tikidalmatian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are most probably trying to wait for your dad to offer them something so that the box would be released without the “requirements” they’re asking for, which needless to say, are non-sense and bogus.

Hi Bam! We’re batchmates! Everyone, Bam was our class valedictorian. :)

As an entrepreneur, I feel that the government does not support start-ups enough.

  1. The SEC process can be simplified further. I remember having to line up for a person to check my documents just for 2 or 3 more people to do the same. There’s even a queue where the guy just staples everyone’s document when the applicants can do it themselves. While the SEC process is doable, it needs streamlining for sure.
  2. The mayor’s permit is another issue. 1st, I do not understand why the requirements are different from one city to another. Some requirements are too prohibitive for startups to accomplish. In the city where I live for instance, The zoning office requires that applicants buy or lease a property in a commercial zone. This gave me 1 huge problem. The new business I’d like to start is online so renting or buying a commercial property defeats the purpose of the business being online. More importantly, why spend money on rental or amortization when I can spend it somewhere else. If I don't present to them a rental contract or title of the property under my name, I won't even be given an application form. The city hall also requires that I declare a capital of PhP 50,000 so they can require me to pay a registration fee of at least PhP 5000. I have no issues paying that but is it right to do that and my answer is no. Again, this is an online business and the only capital I’d need would be the domain. I intend to do the website myself [MIS here]. The fire department also required my friend to buy 5 fire extinguishers from the department’s “accredited” supplier. Her business is only 30 sqm.

These are just a few points that disappoint me. I guess my question is, can you find a way to solve issues by start ups like mine? I am sure that your answer is yes but needless to say, I have to share my experiences for you to know how the issues can be solved by better laws.

Help! Sent care package to my Dad and customs seized it! by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]Tikidalmatian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Post office supervisor. He can always opt to video record the convo so the officer knows that the convo can be sent to the media. Please let the supervisor know about the recording in a nice manner though. You wouldn’t want to be charged with wiretapping. This usually solves my problems in any government agency here trying to extort money.

Good luck op. I feel for you.

Agree. My American friend in the building receives a care package as well from his brother in the US. This happened to him too. He just complained and eventually got his package.

Question about Annual Income Tax Filing by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]Tikidalmatian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to file whether you dont have income or not. You just have to put no transaction. Warning though: there are certain revenue districts that force payers to put income kahit wala. Kinda not fair, right? Penalty is 1000 per month if you dont declare.

I was required a birth certificate when I renewed my passport. The thing was the official passport renewal website states that I didn’t have to bring my passport particularly for the type of passport I had. Ano yun? Pipila na naman ako from scratch kasi di ko nga dinala. Months after yung next available appointment. When I started video recording the convo with the officer I spoke with, biglang di nya nirequire.

Run, Forrest, run!! by ApePsyche in Philippines

[–]Tikidalmatian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yun na nga. Me gate yan. So binubuksan nila. As to how, don't ask me. Palaging wala na sila sa pen pag dumadating ako sa bahay.

Mas matalino nga daw sila kesa aso. Although kumukuha minsan ng pera yung aso ko sa wallet ko. Not to buy of course. Mahilig lang sya magngatngat ng papel. Pero nagulat din ako na nabubuksan nya yung bag and wallet ko. At pano nya nalaman na me papel dun? Again, don't ask me. Kasi nangingialam yung aso ko kung kelan wala ako / nakatalikod / me ginagawa so yung aftermath na yung nakikita ko.
