Update on the required papers for my VISA

I got my NBI clearance 2 weeks ago (sorry for late posting), and thanks to Lauren for that. Last March 23rd, I filed a request for my CENOMAR and I can have the result this coming April 11, 2007.

It was funny when I went to request my CENOMAR, I was bragging about the “OFFLINE” NSO service here in Davao with my previous post and then when I went there (last March 23), I saw the big sign “OFFLINE” again on the entrance desk (that is where the security personnel’s desk too).

Instead of riding back to the taxi, I gambled and tried asking the guard (as if di ba na hindi alam kung ano ang offline).

Me: Hello, kukuha ako ng CENOMAR, I have here the form na na-filled up ko na, is this correct?

Guard: Maam, sorry po pero close na kami but let me see your form…

(So I gave him the filled up form)

Guard: Maam, tama ho lahat ng ginawa nyo, punta na ho kayo sa itaas, baka tanggapin pa nila.

Me: Cge ha, salamat.

So I went up, (NSO-Davao is located at 3rd floor) and viola..I went directly to the cashier to pay. I even shared a little chit chat with the cashier as she was asking where would I use it and such. I also saw lots of people there that are filing requests and also claiming. After awhile, she gave me my receipt and then I went downstairs to thank the guard.

Realization..

It’s worth the try to ask and be makulit, but then I was wishing and hoping na sana NSO will change their ways. It was a lil bit deceiving and unfair to all of us. Kasi di ba, what if I did not bother to be makulit and did not ask the guard? What if ang guard is just in the mood to let me go up to the office on that time and the next time around hindi na, gayong its not offline naman pala? Kunsabagay, what else is new with them?! Opps, some people may find this post offensive but I’m speaking of my own experience, bato bato sa langit ang tamaan, talagang magagalit .
