ups uninterruptile power supply for freelance writersA UPS or an uninterruptible power supply is helpful for home-based freelance writers in the Philippines where brownouts are part of life.

I bought this one on the picture from CD-R King, where some of the cheapest electronic supplies are sold,  and it has been helpful.  It gives me up to 15 minutes of time to save my files or send a rush email before the PC finally gives out.

This UPS also has a voltage regulator, so it’s two-in-one. The white power strip beside it is also helpful and saves bits of electricity. PCs still use electricity even if they’re off but unplugged from the electric outlet. With the power strip, you don’t have to unplug anything everytime you stop working on your PC.

Since Philippine Prudential Life Insurance Company is associated with Danvil Plans, we’re going to write some information about this company.  A lot of info here were taken from the website of the Insurance Commission.

Philippine Prudential is an insurance company; it is not a pre-need firm.

It is different from pre-need firm Prudential Life Plans Inc. whose license was revoked by the SEC in 2009. These two firms are not affiliated with each other.

Philippine Prudential is one of 35 life insurance firms  whose licenses have been renewed by the Insurance Commission every year for the past years.  Their newest licenses are for the license year 2009 to 2010.

Of the 35 life insurance firms, Philippine Prudential is:

  • 17th in ranking based on premium income as of December 31, 2009
    640,144,183  pesos
  • 17th in ranking based on first-year premium as of December 31, 2009
    207,613,865
  • 22nd in ranking based on paid-up capital as of December 31, 2009
    123,807,730 pesos

As can be seen on both the websites of Philippine Prudential and Danvil Plans and in SM malls, the two firms use the same sales offices in SM Pampanga, SM Fairview, SM North Edsa, SM Megamall and SM Southmall.
