3 Claims. (Cl. 154106) This invention relates broadly to synthetic resin articles of manufacture and to processes of making the same. More particularly, it relates to synthetic resin panels having surfaces provided with a decorative crinkled finish, and to processes of producing the same.
Various thermosetting resins such as the polyesters, the phenol-formaldehydes, and others can be combined with a suitable reinforcing material and spread upon a smooth surface and cured to form panels for various uses. Such uses include skylights in buildings, awnings, wall and ceiling panels and others.
One method now practiced in the art for manufacturing such panels, comprises placing a thin plastic film, such as regenerated cellulose (known in the trade as cellophane) upon a forming table. An interlayer comprising a thermosetting resin containing a suitable reinforcement such as chopped glass fibers is then positioned upon the cellulose film. A second film of cellulose is subsequently positioned upon the resin interlayer and carefully smoothed out, and the sandwich thus produced is subjected to a curing operation. Panels thus produced are characterized by having a substantially smooth surface finish.
The present invention is based on the discovery that by employing selected types of pliable films in the presence of controlled amounts of water during the curing operation, resin panels can be produced which have their surfaces formed into a highly decorative crinkled finish.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for forming a thermosetting resin product in which novel decorative effects can be produced on the surfaces thereof by solidifying crinkles into the surfaces.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a method for forming a thermosetting resin product wherein selected types of pliable films are employed in the presence of controlled quantities of water to encase the products during the curing stage to thereby provide decorative crinkled finishes on the surfaces.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a novel thermosetting product having a unique decorative crinkle finish thereon, which product may be translucent and may be tinted with suitable dyes or pigments.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent as the description proceeds, particularly when reference is later made to the accompinying drawings.
In the drawings wherein like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same:
Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic illustration of a machine adapted to produce panels suitable for curing by the present process;
Fig. 2 illustrates a table having a water absorptive web secured to the top thereof, as employed in the present invention;
Fig. 3 illustrates the lower half of a curing mold employed to support the wet resin lay-up during initial gelation of the thermosetting resin;
Fig. 4 illustrates the mold of Fig. 3 with the upper section in position as employed in the final cure of the thermosetting resin;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a reinforced plastic panel made according to the process of the present invention; and
Fig. 6 is an enlarged sectional view illustrating the cross-section of a panel prior to curing by the present process.
In accordance with the present invention, a layer of thermosetting resin in liquid form, is placed upon a pliable film which is capable of crinkling in the presence of water. A reinforcing filler is combined with the resin and a second film is placed on top of the resin and filler mixture. The film-encased assembly is thereafter rolled or squeegeed to remove entrapped bubbles of air and is positioned upon a moisture laden blanket or other suitable wet surface for a period of time sufliciently long to allow the film to crinkle. The wet resin lay-up is transferred to a suitable lower mold section and a moisture laden blanket is positioned upon the wet lay-up and the assembly is passed through a curing oven to effect initial gelation of the resin. During this stage of resin gelation, both films are maintained in a crinkled condition and the resin is caused to gel or initially set whereby the crinkles are solidified into its major surfaces. Thereafter the moisture laden blanket is removed and a thin cover sheet is substituted to minimize buckling or warpage of the panel during final resin cure. The assembly is next passed through a heated oven where the resin is caused to be fully cured to a hard, solid product. The panels are subsequently trimmed to exact size, and with the films stripped away, are ready for use.
As shown on the drawings, numeral 10 designates generally a machine for continuously producing reinforced synthetic resin panels by the wet lay up method. Machine 10 includes a continuous belt 11 suitably fabricated of reinforced rubber and movably mounted upon a pair of horizontally aligned and spaced rolls 12 and 13. At the left hand end of the machine 10 a roll 14 of cellulose acetate film is supported on an axis parallel to the axes of conveyor rolls 12 and 13 in a manner whereby the film 15 can be payed out and smoothly laid down upon the forward flight 16 of belt 11 in a continuous manner. The feeding mechanism for the film 15 includes a pair of vertically spaced rolls 17 and 18 mounted transversely of belt 11 and a third roll 19 similarly mounted and positioned forwardly of rolls 17 and 18. Roll 19 is in peripheral contact with flight 16 of belt 11. Film 15 is fed beneath roll 17, up and around roll 18 and then down beneath roll 15! and onto flight 16 of belt 11. A resin hopper 20 is positioned transversely of belt 11, in front of roll 19 and a short distance above flight 16 of belt 11. Resin hopper 20 comprises an elongated trough of a length equivalent to the width of belt 11 and is provided in its bottom with a series of spaced holes (not shown) through which a liquid thermosetting resin such as a polyester resin is flowed upon the film 15. A smooth and gauge comb 21 is positioned in front of hopper 20 and is adapted to spread the liquid resin evenly across film 15 and maintain a uniform layer 22 of resin moving forwardly. An elongated angle iron retainer 23 is positioned slightly above the edge of flight 16 of belt 11. A similar retainer member (not shown) is similarly positioned along the other edge of flight 16. The extreme edge of the film 15 rides on and is slightly elevated by retainer member 23 and with the other retainer member forms a shallow movable trough from fih-n 15 for retaining the resin layer 22 on the belt 11.
A chopped fiber distributing unit 24 is positioned forwardly of roll 21 and is adapted to cut and uniformly distribute fibers upon and across the resin layer 22. Unit 24 includes an upstanding hood 25 having front and rear walls 26 of a width equal to the width of the resin layer 22. The side walls 27 taper upwardly in triangular fashion and converge to a horizontally disposed top plate 28 which is provided with an elongated opening 29. A cutter unit 30 is supported above the opening 29 and comprises a pair of peripherally engaging, vertically spaced feed rolls 31 and 32 and a rotatable knife carrier 33 adapted to engage the periphery of roll 32. A plurality of strands 34 are respectively fed from packages 35' through guides 36 and between the feed rolls 3t and 32, downwardly around roll 32 where they are cut into suitable lengths by the knife carrier 33. The chopped strands 37 fall through opening 29 and are spread over the resin layer 22. A pair of press rolls 38 and 39 positioned forwardly of hood 25 and are provided respectively with left and right hand helical threads 40 and 41 which press the chopped strands 37 into the resin layer 22. Threads 40 and 41 of rolls 38 and 39 respectively force beads of resin back and forth across the resin layer 22, thoroughly wetting the chopped fibers 37 with resin and press the fibers into the liquid resin. Following the press rolls 38 and 39, the cover film 42 is applied. A roll 43 of sheet material such as the cellulose acetate film previously described, is supported above flight 16 and is adapted to be rotated and pay out the film 42 in a uniform and continuous manner on top of the resin layer 22. A pair of vertically spaced feed rolls 44 and 45, positioned forwardly of press rolls 38 and 39 aid in feeding the film 42. Rolls 44 and 45 are positioned transversely of belt 11 and roll 45 peripherally contacts flight 16. Roll 44 is positioned above roll 45 and is in peripheral contact therewith. Film 42 is fed around and under roll 44 and then half laps roll 45 in a reverse manner and is thereby laid upon the resin layer 22. An arcuately shaped squeegee 46 is positioned forwardly of rolls 44 and 45 and is adapted to press and smooth out film 42 and thereby aids in the removal of bubbles of air which may have become entrained in the resin layer 22.
Machine 10 is thus adapted to continuously produce a Wet resin lay up 47 having a chopped strand reinforcement 37 incorporated therein.
As shown in Fig. 2 there is a table 48 of conventional construction having a layer of burlap 49 secured to the top thereof and stretched taut and smooth. The burlap 49 is kept moist with water and a panel 50, cut from the wet lay up 47 is placed on the wet burlap to moisten the bottom film 15. After being in position upon the burlap 49 for a suitable time, usually 15 to 60 seconds, the lower film 15 becomes moistened and quickly becomes uniformly crinkled. The panel 50 is then immediately transferred to a lower mold 51, shown in Fig. 3 as a corrugated structure, and a layer of wet burlap 52 is positioned on top of the panel to moisten the upper film 42 and thereby cause crinkling thereof. Mold 51 with the panel 50 and cover burlap 52 in position is placed in a heated oven (not shown) to get the resin to the B stage, i.e., the resin is set to a firm state. The mold 51, and panel 50 and burlap 49 are then removed from the oven.
As shown in Fig. 4 the burlap 52 has been removed and replaced by upper mold section 53 to restrain the panel 50 from buckling during the final or C stage cure. The lower mold 51, B stage panel 54 and upper mold 53 are then placed in an oven (not shown) where the resin is cured to the C stage, or its final stage of hardness and rigidity. When cure is complete, the assembly is removed from the oven, and the panels are trimmed to exact size and the cover films are removed. A finished panel 55 with the cover films stripped away is shown in Fig. 5. Number 56 indicates the crinkles in the surface of the resin layer 22.
As an alternate procedure, the wet resin lay up may have each of its cover films lightly sprayed with water in lieu of being subjected to the above-described moisture treatment. After such water spray, the panel is transferred to a lower mold and a cover sheet is immediately applied to retain the moisture content of the films while the resin is gelled by application of heat.
Where it is desirable to impart a crinkled finish to only one surface of a panel, only one of the films need be treated to provide a crinkle. Of course, when so operating, a non-moisture reactive film can be used on the surface where no crinkle is desired.
Films applicable to use in the present process include those which are capable of crinkling uniformly in the presence of water. The preferred film is that made from cellulose acetate. Films of a thickness of 0.05 inch or less can be employed satisfactorily in the present invention. Generally films of a thickness in the range from 0.0002 to 0.0025 inch are employed for economy of operation.
The thermosetting resin employed may include any of the various thermosetting materials such as polyester resins, polystyrene-polyester blends, phenol-formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde, alkyds and the like.
Fillers of various materials can be employed to reinforce the synthetic resin and add strength and rigidity to the finished products. Such fillers include fiber glass in felted or woven form, sheets of cotton or wool fabrics, canvas, duck, muslin, linen, rayon, nylon, and the like as well as asbestos, cotton batting, etc. All of the fillers can be used in shredded form and dropped into the resin in random fashion to provide an interlaced mat of continuous character.
Gelling temperatures in the range from about F. to 250 F. may be employed in the present process with temperatures in the range from F. to 200 F. being preferred. Accordingly it will generally be desirable to add a suitable catalyst to the resin material which will enable the resin to be gelled within this temperature range. By so operating, the moisture layer will be preserved during the gelling operation. After the resin has been gelled to a solid state, the final curing can be elfected at more elevated temperatures as is well known in the art.
Catalysts which can be employed in curing the resin include benzoyl peroxide, tertiary butyl perbenzoate, methylethylketone peroxide and the like.
If desired, very low pressures may be employed during the gelling and curing operations. Generally pressures of less than 2 pounds per square inch will he satisfactory to the production of shapes such as corrugations and the like. The pressure must however be maintained at a level low enough not to restrict the crinkling action of the pliable film in the presence of moisture.
The products may be tinted with dyes or pigments of the relatively light-fast type which are not effected by the other components of the resin formulation when it is desired to produce colored products.
Example I In a production run, a film of cellulose acetate of 0.0015 inch thickness was laid down on a continuous conveyor belt. The film was manufactured by the Celanese Corporation of America and was designated C0111 mercially as P904. A layer of polyestenstyrene blend having a catalyst incorporated therein was then flowed onto the cellulose acetate film in a uniform layer approximately of an inch in thickness. Chopped glass fibers were then dropped onto the resin layer in random fashion to form a felted mat, and a roller was employed to press the fibers into the resin. A second film of cellulose acetate was applied over the resin layer and the wet lay up so formed was squeegeed to remove occluded air and was out into appropriately shaped sections. The cut sections were placed upon a table covered with a layer of wet burlap. Within seconds the lower film of cellulose acetate contacting the wet burlap had crinkled. The Wet lay up was then transferred to a corrugated aluminum mold and was pressed into conformity with the corrugations. A layer of wet burlap was laid upon the lay up and the assembly was passed through a first-stage oven where infrared heat was applied to the assembly to gel the resin. At this ponit the crinkles of the films had become permanently formed into the resin surfaces. The assembly was removed from the oven and the burlap was replaced with a light weight aluminum cover or caul sheet of a configuration mating with that of the mold. The cover sheet exerted approximately 0.1 pound per square inch of pressure upon the gelled lay up. The assembly was then passed through a second oven where the resin was completely cured to a hard, solid mass. After the curing operation was completed, the cellulose acetate films were stripped from the resin to disclose a highly decorative crinkled finish on each of the major surfaces of the panel.
As used herein and in the claims the word crinkle may be defined as resin-rich elevations of an amplitude of .003 or more, substantially uniformly distributed in a random pattern over the entire surface so that the area pf said elevations comprises more than of the surace.
The invention herein disclosed is particularly adapted for use in connection with the production of reinforced thermosetting resin panels for use as structural materials, and accordingly, examples of this invention for the purpose of disclosure are directed toward that adaptation.
It is to be understood that the foregoing detailed description is given merely by way of illustration for the purpose of the disclosure and that many variations may be made therein without departing from the spirit of the invention and the scope of the subjoined claims.
I claim:
1. A method of producing a fiber reinforced thermosetting resin product having a highly decorative resin rich crinkled finish, comprising depositing a. layer of a liquid thermosetting resin on a thin plastic film, depositing reinforcing fibers upon the surface of said layer of liquid resin and submerging said fibers in the resin, applying a thin plastic film onto the surface of the reinforced layer of resin after the fibers are submerged to form a resin-film laminate, at least one of said films being capable of crinkling in the presence of moisture, moistening the film capable of crinkling in the presence of moisture, and while said film is still moist heating the laminate to commence the cure of the resin.
2. A method of producing a fiber reinforced thermosetting resin product having a highly decorative resin rich crinkled finish as defined in claim 1, wherein the film is moistened by placing a wet surface thereagainst, and the resin-film laminate is simultaneously heated and shaped while held immovable while in contact with a molding member while the wet surface is maintained in contact with said moistened film.
3. A method of producing a fiber reinforced thermosetting resin product having a highly decorative resin rich crinkled finish as defined in claim 2, wherein the resin-film laminate is heated to a gel stage while in contact with said molding member, and after being heated to a gel stage the wet surface is removed from contact with the laminate after which said laminate is finally cured between a pair of molding members.

I admit, I have been hoarding it. I order it regularly in good quantities and store it in a cool dry location. It is absolutely the best film I have ever used and it will break my heart when I can't get it any more. Let's all order it regularly in good quantities and see if we can stave off the inevitable. Sorry to think this way.
I hate to read this topic because Acros is my top favorite film in 100ASA, i don't like Delta filsm as well, and TMAX 100 is very nice film but i prefer TMAX400 over it, but Acros is my most used film in 100 iso, so if this film will be gone, my interest will go lower on B&W film.
Good i bought enough Acros last years, kept them cool for present/future use, i will buy more whenever i have budget again.
Fuji is not well known for their communication with consumers so we'll have to wait and see what transpires. Let's hope the price increase is palatable.
Shout out to rthomas for the unique photo suggestion. I have never heard of them and I live right across the Hudson River :redface:
In stock at B&H, $3.20 a roll, still a good price in my opinion.
Just received an email from B&H that the 120 Acros 100 5-pack is back in stock.
The price is the same as before, USD 15.95.
They also seem to have 35mm rolls for 4.75. Not sure if that's the same price...
In Stock - $2.99 a roll 120.

Freedom Middle School eighth-grader Ben Gray is so strongly opposed to Styrofoam that he refuses to eat off of it.
Now, because of his efforts, he won't have to. And neither will his peers.
The Franklin Special School District eliminated the product from its cafeterias after Gray raised the issue with the system's top administrator. The district is celebrating Gray's initiative today as part of Earth Day.
In February, Gray wrote a letter to Director of Schools David Snowden expressing disapproval that the district used so many trays and cups made from polystyrene, commonly known by the brand Styrofoam. Snowden was speaking at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville one Saturday as part of a program that included artwork displayed by Gray's younger sister, Chloe. Gray decid…

Famed for his raw, brooding and uncompromising dark psychedelic techno and minimal sets, this London based DJ has been in international demand over the past few years, conquering crowds across Germany (including Tresor Berlin), France, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Holland and the UK. Undoubtedly the preeminent master of the darker sounds, Hefty skilfully takes you through the looking glass on a journey to a long forgotten corner of the world somewhere at the edge of time, setting the tone for the impending apocalypse with his distinct style of hypnotic twisted bass-fueled dark techno. With over half a million plays on SoundCloud alone and an unwavering flood of requests for remixes, collaborations and EPs, it's small wonder Hefty has enjoyed the attention of well respected labels, and most importantly, has earned the loyalty and dedication of fans who have been known to travel for hours just to watch him spin. After over 2 years of this growing support from his friends, peers and fans, Hefty was inspired to create his own label: Darker Sounds. Focused solely on showcasing underground dark techno and minimal, the label pulls no punches in its dedication to keeping the style and quality consistently high.

Pag-ibig Death Benefits -- Documents Needed to Claim
If a person has already claimed his Provident benefits when he retired, his heirs are no longer qualified to claim a death benefit when he dies. Why? Because he stopped being a Pag-ibig member when he claimed his Provident benefits.
If a current Pag-ibig member dies, Pag-ibig Fund will divide the member's Provident and Death Benefits among the legal heirs, as defined by the New Family Code.
File your Pag-ibig Provident and Death Benefit claim at the Pag-ibig branch where the deceased member's contributions were remitted.
1. Death certificate of Pag-ibig member
Get from NSO
2. Funeral Receipt or Certification of Payments
Get from funeral service provider
3. Proof of Surviving Legal Heirs (Notarized)
Download form from Pag-ibig website or get from Pag-ibig
4. Application for Provident Benefits Claim
Download form from Pag-ibig website or get from Pag-ibig
5. Birth certificates of all children
Get from NSO, or get confirmation or baptismal certificate from church
6. Affidavit of Guardianship (Notarized),
for claimant children 18 years old and below, or physically/mentally incompetent children
7. Proof of relationship of claimant to Pag-ibig member who died
- Birth certificate of deceased member, if claimant is parent
- Birth certificates of claimants, if claimants are the children
- Marriage certificate, if claimant is legal spouse
- Certified true copy of baptismal/confirmation certificate is accepted if NSO copy is not available
8. Certificate of No Marriage, if deceased member is single
Get from NSO
9. 2 Valid photo IDs of claimant
10. Special Power of Attorney, if claim is filed by authorized representative
2 Valid photo IDs of authorized representative are required.
11. Pag-ibig may ask for additional documents
After filing, you will receive a Claims Acknowledgment Receipt (CAR).
Date of release will be written on the CAR.
Pag-ibig may call you during evaluation of documents, if more documents are needed
CLAIMING the CHECK
Present CAR and 2 valid IDs.
NOTE: Make sure to write accurately all the names and addresses of companies and dates of employment of the deceased in the Application for Provident Benefits Claim form.
This is important, specially for members who worked in different companies located in different cities. Pag-ibig records are NOT yet totally centralized, so it's possible that if the member worked in 2 or more companies in different cities, the member's savings were remitted to 2 or more Pag-ibig branches.
Provident Benefits = Savings or Contributions from Employee and Employer Plus Dividends
Death Benefit = 6,000 pesos (If the Total Provident Benefit is lower than 6,000 pesos, the Death Benefit is the same amount as the Total Provident Benefit.)
Documents to Claim Pag-ibig Death Benefits

Pag-ibig will require you to complete your documents before they will release your benefit.Delete
what if the member died 2 years ago?...can i still claim it?ReplyDelete
My aunt died, she is single and has no immediate family except for me. I am his nephew. Can i make claim so that the money can help cover some of the burial cost? Thanks!ReplyDelete
Hi dhel achinges and Qamote, sorry for the delayed reply.ReplyDelete
Dhel, you can still file your claim even if the member died 2 or 3 or 9 years ago.
Qamote, yes, you can file your claim. Pag-ibig will require you to submit documents proving that you are the nearest living relative.

Hi! My father died recently. My mom now applied for the benefits of Pag-ibig. As one of the requirements, both my elder sister and I provided our birth certificates. But as we call them for updates, they are saying that they are having an issue with our birth certificate. According to them, it looks like I'm now the oldest of the two. I don't know how did that happen but now they are requiring us to submit a Joint Affidavit (for which I don't know what that is) and submit it to them.ReplyDelete
Can you please explain to me what is that affidavit?
Can we ask the Pag-ibig officers to re-verify our documents so that it won't be a hassle for both parties?
Thank you!Replies
Hi Ray Philip, you should call your father's Pag-ibig branch again, and ask what is the Joint Affidavit for. Based on what you said, what I can think of is that your father could have written incorrectly your birth dates when he wrote your names as his dependents on his Pag-ibig member registration form. But it's best that you ask Pag-ibig.Delete
About the affidavit form, see here Pag-ibig's Joint Affidavit of Two Disinterested Persons form.

Question about death claim Jul 21, 2015ReplyDelete
My requirements are already complete. almost 3x I have submitted. last july 01 I again submitted. I produced another set because they mailed back not to the address of the claimant. Why is it like that? Why are you so strict with the death claim when everything is okay? my late husband ERIC LUTAO BULAGNER dec 06,1989. I'm his wife. how long should I wait? It has been months ago last dec 01,2014 that my husband died.
Pag-ibig is strict with the documents because they want to be sure there will be no other claimants after they have granted the benefits. Processing might take 1 month or more for processing. You can email email@example.com

Hi. a govt. employee retired taking all the employee as well as the employer's share as his retirement scheme. Recently he died. upon processing his burial benefit, the surviving spouse was informed by the pagibig staff that the deceased member is no longer qualified to avail of burial benefit because he has already received Pagibig contribution upon his retirement. Who really are entitled for burial benefits from Pag-ibig?ReplyDeleteReplies
About Pag-ibig death benefit: the death benefit, which is 6,000 or lower, is for those who are still Pag-ibig members at the time of death. This government employee stopped being a Pag-ibig member after he got all his Pag-ibig savings when he retired. That means he was no longer a member when he died. Pag-ibig is different from SSS where the death benefit is separate from all the other benefits.Delete

About Pag-ibig death benefit claim; father married 2 womenDelete
Both of my parents are deceased. First, my father died 5 years ago, and my mama, 2 years ago. I have claimed my mother's death benefits. I have not claimed my father's benefits because cenomar says he married 2 women. The first was a spinster, according to my father's relatives. I was told by Pag-ibig that there should be a death certificate if the member has died. I have the nso copy. The woman is old. They got married 1980, same year with that of my mama's. My mama and papa got married twice. The first woman died 1986. Can I file my claim for my papa's benefits? What documents are needed? I was told the death certificate is enough proof. About kids, they didn't have a child, as they lived together only for a few months, and the woman was a spinster. Please bear with me as this is long. Thanks
Yes, you can file your claim. Documents: your father's death certificate, death certificate of father's first wife, your birth certificate, 2 photo IDs, Provident benefit claim form, Proof of surviving heirs form. Pag-ibig might ask for the Cenomar report and your mother's marriage certificate and death certificate.

About claim for father's Pag-ibig benefitsDelete
Thank you, Ms. Nora Tamba. I'll fix this as soon as possible. My documents are complete. I'll just need to fix the first woman's death NSO. Thanks po. Would they ask me anything because in the woman's death certificate, her status is single. Thank you po for the response :)
Thanks too. I hope Pag-ibig will no longer ask anything about the status of the first woman. If they'll ask, just say that maybe only a few know that she had married your father, since you said that your father married your mother in the same year.
Oh I forgot, Pag-ibig might also ask about the first woman's marriage certificate. But I hope the cenomar report will be enough.Delete

Question about death claim and provident claim:ReplyDelete
If you've already claimed the death benefit, you also have already claimed the provident benefit. Pag-ibig computes the death benefit based on the Provident benefit amount. The maximum death benefit is 6,000 pesos. You can call 724-4244 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
- AnonymousAug 17, 2015, 8:32:00 PM
6000 pesos ?is that all we can get from my fathers claim?what about his contribution?ReplyDelete
About Pag-ibig death benefit:ReplyDelete
If your father did not claim his Pag-ibig contributions and dividends when he was alive, you will be able to claim all his Pag-ibig contributions, all his employers' contributions, all dividends and death benefit. The death benefit is 6,000 pesos or less, depending on his total contributions and dividends.

death certificate is necessarily issued from nso? what about from city registrar certified true copy? there is still no copy from nso the death cert. oh my husband because he just died last july 26,2015. and nso still on process.ReplyDelete

About claim for married sister's Pag-ibig savings Sep 5ReplyDelete
Sad to say, Pag-ibig will most likely require your brother-in-law's waiver of rights. But if there's a chance their marriage might not have been registered, you can go to NSO and ask for your sister's marriage certificate. Bring your IDs and birth cert to prove your relationship as NSO doesn't allow non-family members to get NSO documents. If there's a marriage certificate, you need to get a waiver of rights and ID photocopies from your brother-in-law. But before contacting your brod-in-law, it's best if you first go to Pag-ibig and ask. Or call 724-4244.
It's more fair with SSS -- it evaluates dependency of spouse in claims.

Yung mama ko kasal sila ng father ko year 1984, pero naghiwalay sila bata pa lang ako. My father is still alive. and may NSO marriage cert sila.

Kanino pong marriage ang valid? and sino po ang magiging claimant?
I am now 29. Pwede ba ako and mga kapatid ko ang mag claim?
Thanks po
hello po mam nora can i still avail all the contribution and dividends of my husband even if ive already claim the death??ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi bhem, did you use the Pag-ibig Application for Provident Benefits Claim form when you applied for your Pag-ibig death benefit? Was the total benefit you received more than 6,000 pesos? If yes to both questions, you have already claimed both the death benefit and the contributions plus dividends. The maximum death benefit is 6k.Delete
Pag-ibig computes first the contributions plus dividends and then add the death benefit. If the total of contributions and dividends is less than 6k, the death benefit is not 6k, it will be equal to the total of contributions plus dividends. For example, if the total of contributions and dividends is 5k, the death benefit will be 5k. But for example, the total contributions and dividends is 12k, the death benefit will be 6k. Total benefit will be 18k.
About rightful claimants to Pag-ibig benefits, father has long been separated from mother Sep 22, 2015ReplyDelete
My mother died 2 years ago, and I have 2 siblings half brother 19 years old and half sister 17 years old living with me. My mother was married to my father in 1984, but they separated when I was still a child. My father is still alive and they have an NSO marriage cert. and then year 1994 my mother married the father of my half siblings.
Which marriage is valid? and who is the rightful claimant? I am now 29. Can I and my siblings claim? Thanks po
This is sad because you deserve to get your mother's savings. But Pag-ibig is unlike SSS that has the word "dependent" on their description of beneficiaries -- this would have disqualified your father as beneficiary if Pag-ibig has the same rule.
I'm not a lawyer, but I'm sure that the first marriage is valid, since there's a NSO marriage certificate, and the second marriage is not valid.
Do you think your father has the heart to sign a notarized
Waiver of Rights so you and your 2 siblings can claim? Or is he the opportunist type who will file his own claim? The best is: you go to the branch where your mother's savings are, and then ask about your situation. Bring your IDs, your birth certificates and your mother's death certificate (xerox and orig copies)

This hotel had a lovely, homey feel to it, yet it was located in downtown Bangalore. It was extremely convenient to everything.
Bathrooms were not sound proof.
I loved it. It was exactly what I was hoping for, a bed and breakfast in the heart of the city.

The grounds were very nice.
Toilet flushing and shower were extremely loud.
Very ecomomical, in a decent neighborhood.

Heading North
We left by 7:30 this morning and began our trek north. Although I didn't do much this time when I was in Ushuaia, I am still sad to be leaving as it holds such good memories of my trip to Antarctica. As I'm travelling there are a few places I would return to but not until I've checked other things off my list. Nevertheless, South Georgia and Antarctica I would definitely go back to, even before going ...
Patagonian adventures
... baby goats. Wildlife along the road included Condors, eagles, geese,wild horses, ostriches, flamingos and lamas to name a few.
The glacier itself was just incredible, the sheer size of it was just hard to believe, it just didn't look real. The park has several walking platforms which let you explore most angles of the glacier up close. The glacier is actually in equilibrium but advancing constantly, before our very eyes large chunks of the ...
The Road to Rio (Gallegos)
... commented on how wonderful the Patagonian desert is, but we do not. It feels like you�re driving on a treadmill – the landscape is so vast that there�s nothing close like trees that whip by, the scenery of dust and shrubs doesn�t change and neither does the sky, so it feels like you�re going nowhere hour after hour.
Three hours later, we arrived at Rio Gallegos, the most southerly point on our whole trip since October/November. We thought it would be cool to ...
Day travel along Argentina: An unusual jet lag

I woke up, took a pleasant shower and then I looked to a wall clock in front of me: It was 11am! I had not remembered that there were only 3 sunlight hours in Ushuaia during the winter season. I had slept up to 14 hours and I have never slept more than that day.
Although, I was ready again to continue visiting places, travelling and enjoying the trip!

Fish, Penguins, Oil and a Hell of a lot of Wind
Last time I was here, in Rio Gallegos, was mid-January 2008. Last time I was here I had just graduated from high school in Yellow Springs and was beginning my 11-month exchange program. As a part of the exchange program I was assigned a host family and my host family lived in Rio Gallegos. I was pretty darn surprised when I googled Rio Gallegos and found out just how far south it was. A little apprehensive, but excited, I set out on my exchange.

Senior Product Manager Interview
I applied online. The process took 6+ weeks. I interviewed at Symantec (Mountain View, CA) in March 2012.
The hiring process varies greatly from department to department. I interviewed with 3 departments. 1. The first department was very responsive, acted fast and gave me a response within 2 days. 2. The 2nd department was slow, asked me to interview repeatedly with several other people who were not part of the interview panel earlier, making me believe that they didn't know what they wanted. In the end they didn't reply either yes or no and after some time I stopped following up on them. 3. The 3rd department was a lengthy process but a thorough interview with an initial phone screen, onsite interviews with the people I will interact with most often and a case evaluation/panel interview to judge my thinking. I think the interviews were conducted in a professionally and a timely manner. However, after I was given an oral offer, it took them 2-3 weeks to come back with a written offer and then another 2 weeks for a negotiated offer.
Interview Questions
- I dont think there was anything unexpected. I had given several interviews prior to this interview and was very well prepared. In terms of difficulty I think the case interview was difficult only because I received the case only 12 hours before the interview (at night, so I devoted only 1-2 hours on the case). Answer Question
I wanted a higher salary. They didnt budge on the salary, but did offer me restricted stock.

Senior Product Manager InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Symantec (San Francisco, CA) in March 2012.
This was a first for me, I was hired by referral and really had no interview. I was remote and so was my manager. Most painless interview ever in fact the best experience I have ever encountered. Did not hurt that I was qualified for the job and understood the products very well.
No need to negotiate, salary meet and exceeded my requirements and I always negotiate. Bonus plan and other perks, she is a great boss.

Senior Product Manager InterviewNo OfferEasy Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at Symantec (Bangalore (India)) in September 2012.
I was referred for the open position by a Symantec employee. I had 2 telephonic rounds and subsequently half day f2f discussions. The telephonic rounds were conducted by product managers in other business units. I had 3 interviews during the F2F meeting with PM, head PM and Engg director. I interviewers focussed on my past experience. During F2F discussions, there was a generic product design problem on hotel reservation system which was intended to test the candidates thinking process and ablity to solicit requirements.

If you don't know what a HOP is, it's a Hair Obsessed Psycho. Once someone referred to us as that, so I coined the term HOPs. So, yes, my name is Evie, and I'm a HOP!!! Okay, so yeah, I finally am a full-fledged product junkie. Hubby said to get "whatever I wanted" at Sally's, so I did. Everything was buy 2 and get one free, so I bought 2 and got one free. lol. I spent 60 dollars and got a ton of stuff. I used to pay that much just for 3 products back in the day. My hubby wasn't even one bit annoyed, he was just happy he didn't have to go in with me!
Anyway, I just felt like sharing...lol
