About AlaminMo

Alamin mo. Ayos na.

Bakit kami nagsimula

Kung minsan, ang pinakamahirap na bahagi ng buhay Pilipino ay hindi ang trabaho o ang mga bills — kundi ang paperwork. Ang pag-verify ng SSS number. Ang pag-intindi kung magkano dapat ang PhilHealth contribution mo. Ang pagkuha ng TIN nang hindi nalilito sa dami ng forms.

We started AlaminMo because we got tired of searching for a simple answer to a government process and finding either an outdated forum post from five years ago, a wall of confusing legal language, or a page that just repeats the same vague advice everyone else already wrote.

Our goal is simple: give you a clear, step-by-step answer, based on what’s actually true right now — not five years ago, not “probably,” but verified against the official source.

Paano kami gumagawa ng content

Every guide on this site is:

  • Checked against official sources — SSS, PhilHealth, BIR, and other relevant government agencies, not just other blogs
  • Written in plain language — English and Taglish mixed naturally, the way people actually talk about these things, not stiff corporate copy
  • Updated when processes change — government requirements shift, forms get revised, contribution tables update. When we find outdated information on our own site, we fix it
  • Honest about what we don’t know — if something is unclear or actively conflicting across official sources, we say so instead of guessing

We’re not a government agency, a law firm, or an accounting service. We’re a small team that got frustrated trying to find clear answers ourselves, and decided to build the resource we wished existed.

Sino kami

Hi, ako si Vicente Gonzales III, ang gumagawa ng mga guide dito sa AlaminMo.

I’ve spent the last 12 years working in digital marketing and content — SEO, content strategy, the works. But outside of work, I’m also a freelancer, so I handle all my own government paperwork — SSS, PhilHealth, TIN — walang HR o accounting department na gagawa nito para sa akin. Alam ko mismo kung gaano kahirap intindihin ang mga requirements, lalo na kapag magkakaiba ang sinasabi ng bawat source na mahahanap mo online.

I started AlaminMo by combining those two things: the professional habit of actually researching something properly before writing about it, and the personal, repeated frustration of not finding a straight answer to a paperwork problem that should’ve been simple. Every guide here goes through the same process — I check the official source myself, confirm the current form or requirement, and write it the way I wish someone had explained it to me the first time.
