Finally, I had my first mag "Sangla" experience!

And it was surprisingly exciting and amazing.

Paano Mag-Sangla? + My Thoughts About Pawning.

A couple of months ago we applied for a small loan. This is meant for my children's tuition fees and school supplies + my supposedly birthday getaway too. I don't know what gotten into me but all of a sudden  I realized it's  May 28 already. And the loan we applied for? we have not yet received. The beach trip that I really wanted for my birthday? It didn't happen. And the enrollment? still not done. What's worse is that our electricity bill ballooned from P2500 to P4500 and wait there's more... Ricci was bitten by our furbaby Chubby! OMG What's happening to us? I have checked our cash on hand + emergency fund and it was just enough to cover the bills and the groceries. I decided to forget about the beach at baka mag beast-mode lang ako with the expenses. So, Pwede na ba himatayin mga momshies???

Mudrabells cames to rescue.
Mother's Instict is not a myth. Naramdaman ata agad ni Mudra may kailangan ako kahit di pa ako nagsasabi. Pinahiram ako ng kanyang gintong yaman. Hahaha, Yes! "Gintong Yaman" is the word for my moms necklace. Ingat na Ingat nya ito. I remembered joking about it pa nga na "Ma, yan ba ang pamana mo sa akin? Pwede bang i-claim ko na?" ayun pinandilatan ako ng mata. hahaha. 

So this is it... ito na ako sa Cebuana LhuillerOo, sa Cebuana Lhuiller agad-agad. Dahil dun lang daw ipagkakatiwala ni Mudrabells ang gintong yaman nya. Tried and tested na nya pala na mataas ang appraisal doon. Oh, diba, suking-suki?. At sa lugar namin halos bawat kanto may Cebuana Lhuiller! With 2500 Branches ba naman nationwide. Tingin sa kaliwa, tingin sa kanan beshie, at may Cebuana Lhuiller na maaasahan!




An Instant Cash sa Biglaang Pangangailangan.
Pawning is simply money lending with security & collateral.

I've seen people doing it too, like "Sangla" is a way of life, a way to cope in times of need. Pag may biglaan bayarin sa school, may nagkasakit or na-emergency-hopsitalization, pang-gastos pang requirements sa pag-apply sa trabaho, pang-dagdag sa pang-debut or pang pagawa ng bahay.


Pero siempre, matigas ang ulo ko, nag-keme-keme muna ako sa ibang pawnshop. Pinacheck ko, ayun nagulat ako kinikis sa bato yung kwnitas ni mama, sumulat yung kwintas sa bato!!! Para akong aatakihin sa puso... nako yare, magmamarka ba yun? ayaw ko nang tingan. Lord, sana wag mapansin yun ni Mama. 

After that, Mudra's gintong yaman was appraised at Php13,xxx. And I'm not happy, kasi 20k and kailangan ko. So, I pushed going to Cebuana Lhuillier. Actually, kumakabog dibdib ko, di ako sanay. So, I politely asked the staff on duty:

"Sir, first time ko po mag-sangla, paano po ba?"

-Cebuana Lhuiller Staff: Ganoon po ba? Madali lang ito ma'am, since first time mo, kailangan mong mag fill up ng registration form. titingnan ko po yung item and aalamin natin ang value and if ok sayo ang appraised value, i-process na sya for sangla.

So, here we go, this is how to sangla na... a black box lined with black velvety fabric pops out the window. OO, na-amazed ako sa pa-box where I'll be putting Mudra's gintong yaman for them to check and appraise. Doon sa una kong pinuntahan abot-abot lang sa tiled counter. Muntik pa kaming magholding hands ni koya. 


I signed the registration form, presented a government-issued I.D.,  have my to sangla / to pawned item appraised.

And it was appraised at a whooping rate of P19,xxx. Shocks! What a big difference!!! It is pretty close to my target budget which is Php20,000. So this is it, this is really it!  I will push to Sangla na!

Next is to sign the Sangla-form or pawn ticket or mas gusto ko yung term ni Pappi dati, the Papel de Ahensya thingy. sounds good! hahaha.

Note: This is for those who agreed to the appraised value of their item to be pawned. If you are not happy with the appraised value, try your luck na pataasan pa, gamitan nyo ng charm. Mababaet naman sila. Also, during this process, you have to sign that clear plastic pouch and mini pink slip. That is where your pawned item is to be placed, tagged, sealed and stored for safe keeping.

And then, Processing happens. This will just take about 5minutes or less. Ito pa ah, may linya silang "Basta Sangla, Walang Pila". Ayos diba? From there, you have to secure your pawn ticket, sign it and collect the money.

That was pretty fast and easy!

That's it! Also, ang saya for me, finally kasi Mag-Sangla Skill Acquired!!! Dali i-congratulate nyo ako dahil solve na ang pang tuition at pang swimming ng fambam!!! And the next time I'll be in need of fast cash, I'll be on my way to Cebuana Lhuillier, Alam na!
