  Reply to @coolflame: Kalampagin mo na lang po yung agent nyo. Mahirap po ksi kung direct nyo po syang contactin. Pag may agent daan muna po talaga sa kanila.

  @coolflame same experience tau kasi before ung agent ko d din nasagot ang email ko ilang araw ko na nasend ang PCC ni hubby un nlang kc ang hinihintay. Gusto ko na din dati dumirect sa CO kaso may nabasa ako dito sa forum na d ka ientertain ng CO kc my authorize representative ka which is ung agent mo. Much better na ung agent mo ang kulitin mo na mgfollow up kay CO.
