BTW, how many of you know about PSA ? (Formerly NSO) ? An agency that prints paper copies of birth certificates, marriage certificates etc, and charges money. Yes, an agency who's only job is printing copies and charging - and of late, since NSO became PSA, the old NSO copies are not accepted. Must get the PSA copies - at 100 plus peso each.
It's always FUN in the Philippines, as long as you watch the locals screw themselves and keep quite |
And the catch is, the locals think it's perfectly normal. Just like ... last time BPO companies use the CEZA permit, now all require PAGCOR cuz regime change. Every PAGCOR license is a few million USD. Companies who got the CEZA permit got fucked when Du30 came to power because he invalidated all previous CEZA permits. That's not all, if you have a working permit doesn't mean you get entry to PH automatically because BI needs you to have a working visa instead of a tourist one. But without a tourist visa to come in, you cannot goto Dept of Labor to get a working visa...
I was soooo confused man ...
