Frustrated with BayanDSL & Globe Telecom Customer Service

I am FED UP and I am POWERLESS to do anything but just follow-up every weekday for any update on my concern.

Here's what happened.

Last March 23 while we were out of the country, we noticed that our CCTV app wouldn't load.  We wondered why but then thought, maybe there was an interruption on the signal.  The next day, it still wasn't up.  The next days were the same.

So when we finally came home, I looked at the modem and it didn't have power.  I got another adaptor to plug into the modem to check - and it still wasn't turning on.  I assumed that the modem was busted.  I tried to plug it back in it's original adaptor but still - no power.  Since I was dead tired from the trip, I waited the next day to report to Bayantel.

I officially made the report last March 27, 2016.  The hotline I called was 412-1212 and I was told that I'd get feedback and or the modem will be replaced within 24 to 48 hours.

24 hours passed and no news.  I called 412-1212 and I heard a new message that starting April 1, 2016 - calls will be forwarded to Globe.  I didn't make sense to me, and since the 48 hour window hasn't lapsed, I didn't mind it.

So finally when the 48 hour window lapsed, I called again to report.  They told me to *wait* again since they were a bit busy.  I'm sure the technical services are sub-cons, (there might be multiple sub-cons).  I called everyday since then - to follow up.  I called 412-1212 and then on April 1 when I tried to dial 412-1212 nothing was happening.  So I called 730-1000.  I got to speak to an agent who was very helpful.  She told me that she made  was a schedule of April 2 from 1-5PM.

No one came on April 2.  I then thought to myself, maybe they'll come on April 3.  But, no one came.  So the Monday after - April 4, I called the Globe Hotline to report.  They just told me that they will escalate the concern.  I still called to follow up on april 5, 6 and 7.  And on April 8, Friday - I was given feedback that there was a schedule on Sunday - April 10 at 1-5PM.  I was instructed to make sure to be at the site or leave word that there will be a modem replacement.

We all waited.  No one came.  So I called last Monday - April 11.  The only thing the agent said was *I will escalate the concern kung bakit di po kayo napuntahan last April 10*.  I called yesterday and was given the same statement.

As of yesterday - I have been given eight (8) reference numbers.  I honestly don't know which of them to give anymore.  My complaint has NOT been resolved so I'm wondering - with all these open cases (with reference numbers to boot)  how can they keep giving me new ones?  I don't see the logic why.

So in conclusion - since reporting on March 27.  We have heard nothing from Bayantel or Globe Telecom.  They both have my contact numbers and I have been repeatedly told to *Keep Your Line OPEN* for updates.  And I have received NONE.  I have been very patient calling in EVERY (week) DAY to follow-up and all I get are *I will escalate this to the technical team*.

I took to Twitter, hoping to be assisted but this was the message I got from them:



Frustration.  Utter frustration.

I don't get why the cases have been closed if they're not yet resolved.  STUPID.

No internet since March 23 - that's a total of 22 days as of present.
No feedback since reporting on March 27 - that's a total of 17 days as of present.

Do I need to wait a month or year to be served??

To make me feel better one of the agents told me that I can request for an adjustment when the is resolved.  Darling, the adjustment should be AUTOMATIC, I don't even need to request for it as I have been patiently reporting every single day.  It didn't make me feel better, instead I got more upset and angry because I feel that it will still be a long loooong time before my cases gets closed.

Sigh.

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby.  My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed.  My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed.  In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production.  My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time.  I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer.  THIS is where we get out groceries!  Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers!  From Kailee to Connor to Shobe!  Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now.  But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery.  We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up.  Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'.  Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders.  Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations.   They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup.   You may ask why?  Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup!  It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off.  You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies!  My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered.  When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon.  It actually made the preparation easier.  I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it.  Honestly, I don't think I can w
