LBC Bank Bankruptcy, Under PDIC Receivership

A few months ago there was the "subok na matibay, subok na matatag" in Banco Filipino who closed shop and put under receivership by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC), now here's LBC Bank.

I received the latest news of LBC Bank bankrupt and placed under PDIC receivership from trusted contacts in the banking industry. LBC Bank shutdown their system yesterday.

Question: how can LBC bank clients and depositors get their money back?
Answer: Just wait for announcements from PDIC or posted on your LBC Bank branch for announcements. You can get your money back PhP500,000.00/accound holder (not per account) but in excess of 500k, you need to wait and cross your fingers if LBC still has funds left to pay you as the maximum insurance is really PhP500k/depositor.

stay tuned for other LBC Bank news later

Sat2PC is Not Scam, Fraud or Cable TV Piracy? Free Downloads

Saw on eBay several postings on Sat2PC claiming thousands of cable tv channels without paying a single penny just by using a software.

I don't know how it works but i guess it's an Internet TV channel aggregator but the channels, some of them probably premium channels.

Sat2PC requirements? i guess an Internet connection since it doesn't have a satellite antenna and hardware to receive tv signals.

I didn't try to downloads it but i think it can be downloaded for free.

I think Sat2PC is not a hoax and a scam but there's one thing I'm sure of:

Sat2PC is Piracy, however you call it :(
