Track installment runway — several finish soon

UnionBank Visa *3556 forbearance / TPA plans were closed on the Sep 10 SOA (refs [6607348], [8541903], [8636967]) — no further monthly card installment dues.
Sticky Smart “Others” ~₱400
Oct 3 statement of ₱2,816.29 (previous ₱1,400.99 + Signature S+ ₱999 + Others ₱416.30) was paid in full Oct 5, user-confirmed (on the October paid line), receipt reference still pending. Others ₱416.30 is still sticky — strip it or it renews on the next bill.
Payday playbook: 15th vs 30th
15th covers EastWest (~28th) and UnionBank only if TPA is on the 17ths. 30th covers BPI (Sep 29 this cycle), UnionBank *3556 (Oct 30 on the Oct 9 SOA), Chinabank *1007 (Nov 3 on the Oct 12 SOA), Smart (~30th).
BPI Auto Loan *9806 paid — receipt pending
jayr confirmed Oct 19 2026 that the one-month past-due ₱38,479.35 (BPI notice, Oct 15) is paid. Receipt pending; the Oct 15 9:21 PM ₱38,000 BPI savings transfer may have funded it — unconfirmed. No payment amount or date recorded until the receipt arrives, so it is not on the paid chart. Not a card.
Stop cash-advance interest on UnionBank
UnionBank still billed cash interest — ₱3,037.10 on the Aug SOA and ₱2,810.64 on the Sep 10 SOA. Avoid cash / cash-like transactions on that card.
