How to Find the Quickest Route with Waze

By

It’s time to wise up on Waze 

As a frequent user the Waze app, I noticed that it doesn't always come up with the best possible route. Over time, I learned how to make it do a better job of finding the quickest route. In this short post, I would like to share my technique. 

 The basic idea is to make Waze recalculate your route as you approach an intersection that may offer alternative routes. For example:
  • City driving: Make Waze recalculate as you approach an intersection. 
  • Inter-city driving: Make Waze recalculate as you enter your destination town or city. 
As a safety reminder, do not operate the app while your car is in motion or in any situation where it is prohibited by law. If you are driving with a companion, ask him or her to operate the app for you. 

How to make Waze recalculate routes

Tap the blue icon at the bottom right corner of the navigation screen:

On the next screen, tap the Routes icon near the bottom left corner of the screen.
Waze will recalculate for a few moments and then present one or more alternative routes. Tap your preferred route:

How to obtain your first Professional Tax Receipt (PTR) in the Philippines

I would like to share how I obtained my first Professional Tax Receipt (PTR) at the Manila City Hall. I suppose that the procedure and requirements are similar in various jurisdictions in the Philippines. As a first-timer, I needed to prove that I passed the professional licensing exam. So, I brought with me a hardcopy of an email from the company where I was affiliated with which attested that I had passed the licensure exam. I also prepared some money to pay the tax, which amounted to Php 300. Then I went to the Manila City Hall, where I was directed to the Licensing Division on the Ground Floor. There, the staff inspected the email message. Satisfied that everything was in order, he prepared a small slip of paper called "Order of Payment" and instructed me to take it to "Window D" of the Taxpayers' Lounge located on the Ground Floor. At Window D, I paid the tax and was issued an official receipt. The official receipt indicates my profession and the amo

Transferring the ownership of a motor vehicle was a frustrating experience for me. This was because I was not thoroughly familiar with the requirements and the process. I would like to share how I should have done it so that other first-timers will have a more streamlined and pleasant experience. The procedure described below applies to the case where a privately owned motor vehicle is sold by its owner to a buyer. If your case is different, please look for the applicable procedure on web site of the Land Transportation Office: http://www.lto.gov.ph/motor-vehicle-registration/307-transactions-requiring-change-of-certificate-of-registration.html If the seller has just completed all of his mortgage payments, the car needs to be released from its chattel mortgage before it can be sold.
