Hi Everyone, this is Eric.
I accompanied my wife Angel earlier today at the Prudentialife Main Office. She's one of the planholders included on the second batch that will get their checks.
We actually first tried to get Angel's check last Tuesday (August 27). There was no clear system back then. We arrived in Prudentialife's Makati office by 7:00 AM and we were immediately instructed to proceed to the back of the building where we found a line of people literally snaking around for about half a kilometer. By 11:30 AM, we were still about 100 meters away from the main gate of the building and we were hearing angry shouts from some people. After confirming that the releasing of checks is done even on Saturdays, we decided to try our luck again on August 31 and we planned to go earlier.
Notes for first-time visitors to Prudentialife Makati Office:
1. If you can, go to Prudentialife's office early - arriving on or before 6:00 AM will be your best bet to finish everything within the morning. They only release the checks here.
2. Be sure to bring photocopies of your Policy/Plan contract or any related documents including copies of at least 2 government issued IDs. If you will ask someone else to get the check for you, that person needs to have a "special power of attorney" document.
3. Bring food and water with you especially if you arrive after 7:00 AM. The place is within Legaspi Village and the nearest food place is located either in Makati Cinema Square or Greenbelt 1 (about 10 to 15 minutes walk).
4. Each batch has a designated shedule where they can get the checks so you need to verify the schedule first - you will not be allowed to get your check if your batch's checks ARE NOT YET SCHEDULED FOR RELEASE.
Stay tuned for my subsequent posts over the weekend as I will share with you the "3 steps" that you need to follow to get your checks.
I do hope that my subsequent posts will guide those who have yet to receive their checks so they can properly prepare.

Hi Eric!
ReplyDeleteSo good of you to post this. Great help!
Question: Would you happen to know if copy of Contract would be enough to claim check? For some reason I wasn't able to receive my Certificate of Full payment. I am, however, included in the list and am actually part of batch 1. I would like to be ready before I go to Gamboa. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Hi Nikki,
ReplyDeleteWhen my wife got her check, she brought with her copies of the documents with the "received" stamp. I think these were the copies that Prudential gave back late last year when she submitted the docs for initial processing.
I would advise you to still go and visit them. Recommended day is always Saturday; just make sure you'll be there before 6AM. Just bring whatever documents you have; you'll get an idea of how much you will get during the 'verification' stage.
One last reminder - don't give the original copies of your documents. I think the staff there are also instructed not to receive any original copies.
Stay cool and keep safe.
God bless,
Eric
