2016 Galaxy On5 passes through FCC, hints imminent launch

Kevin Bruce Francisco

It looks like Samsung is updating its On5 series as the 2016 edition just passed through the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This means that it will soon be ready for the public as a successor to the 2015 variant just like what they do with their Galaxy J and A series.

Some of the expected specifications of the On5 includes a 5-inch display, an Exynos 7570 chipset, and 2GB of RAM. Looking back at the 2015 On5, it seems like the 5-inch display is maintained while the chipset and RAM have both been bumped up.

What got the attention of consumers on the current On5 is its sub-Php6K pricing. When the new model comes out and becomes available in the Philippines, we expect it to be in the same price range if not exactly the same. Until then, stay tuned for more official details.

Passport applicants to expect easier online appointments starting September

Kevin Bruce Francisco

The APO Production Unit Inc., has reportedly foiled fixers that pull off scams regarding the application of passports — resulting to about two to three months of scheduling online appointments.

Inquirer.net reports that APO Production, a government-owned printing facility, believe that these scammers are backed by syndicates and earn as much as Php2.5 million by intentionally blocking out passport application slots. Rates start at Php5,000 and could increase in value depending on the chosen date and time slot of the applicants.

Dominic Tajon, Sales Manager for APO Production, mentions that IT experts have uncovered this illegal operation while installing a new security feature in the DFA’s online passport application last June.

To avoid this form of corruption, APO has already signed a memorandum of agreement with the DFA which allows them to handle the passport processing.

“The days of fixers are numbered because the Department of Foreign Affairs has allowed APO Production to handle the end-to-end passport processing in the next two months,” said Tajon in an interview with the diplomatic press corps on Thursday.

Tajon added that the public can expect ease in getting online appointment by September, when applicants under the old system would have been accommodated.
