I'll cross my fingers: 1. na dumating na ang New Eon card sa Unionbank, 2. Ok ang ph-issued debit card 3. Ok ang payment via paypal (gagawa pa ng account) 4. Makahanap ng Cc holder na mataas ang credit limit and willing magpa-ride
So far yan ang options and contingency measures ko. Kung wala talaga iiyak at tatambling nalang ako sa bdo to ask for a temporary increase in my credit limit despite of my unpaid balances sa cc ko.
May God be with me.
