I'm trying to pay for 0619E for April 2026 and 1701Q for the first quarter but it is always Server Error.

It says "500 - Internal server error.

There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

According to Ramon Tulfo, Benhur Abalos is set to take his oath as the next Secretary of Justice. I hope he performs well in the role and that PBBM's decision proves to be the right one.

Having 5 digits branch code won't display previous files. To access previous files, input necessary data esp. the email address and set your branch code back to three (3) digits. TBH, BIR should improve and streamline this application because it is antiquated and full of bugs and errors.

When I store my X4 in my bag, I use my old ElementCase hard pouch for protection. It zips open like a book, so I can easily read without having to fully remove the device. I also tried adding a magnetic ring to keep it from falling/sliding out. But it comes with a trade-off of needing to remove the TPU case for better adhesion. I hope some third party case manufacturer makes one for the X4 since how fragile the screen is.
