rant mode:

The Philippine Social Security System service sucks! I was trying to follow up on the status of my loan filed months ago. Even if I have that stub signifying that I have loaned It still does not reflect on their online query system. The online query system would bail out with java exception errors more often than not (Hmmmnnn... I could see Oracle on those exception messages). Worse, the numbers they gave me to follow up the loan status (9206446 to 55) are always busy, and I have been trying for several weeks now to get thru.

*sigh*, SSS you can do better than that!
