What Kind of Public Service is this?

Getting an NBI Clearance is a total agony. For the past years this theory sounds like a myth, until one day when I had experienced it personally.

Oh hell!Why concerned officials allowed this crap system to continue? Why they cannot provide a good logical solution to improve the service and make the process easier and comfortable to the public?

In Davao City, in order for you to be given an application, you need to go to the NBI office as early as 3:00 in the morning, is this what they call a public service?

I went there at 7:00 in the morning only to be disappointed when people told me that the application forms were distributed at early dawn and that it already reached the limit so the distribution was stopped at 4:00 in the morning. The lady was referring to the limit of applicants entertained in a day.

Oh God!Is this what the Philippine government trying to promote in the 21st century? It is completely rude, why the NBI personnel tolerated this kind of system? What on earth made them think that early dawn is the perfect period to distribute applications when the office hour starts at 8:00 in the morning?

Let's just say they set a specific hour for the distribution of the application because they feel the urge of catering only 500 people in a day? Okay fine. But why they have to do it at early dawn? Why not during the day? God! So pissed off!

When I visited the NBI official website, I found out there's an online application for NBI clearance which is easier and very convenient, the question now is, is this applicable for regional offices?I read that the applicants once registered online must go to U.N Avenue in Manila.

I am hoping the government will make a thorough review with NBI Clearance processes and come up with something better and efficient and logical, it does not resonate the public service commitment they are trumpeting.

My First Travel Abroad!

Image
Got a taste of real life adventure outside the country! :-D Back in my high school years, I often wondered what's on the other side of the continent, how people lived, what the environment looks like, the culture, the food, the lifestyle and the feeling of being in a completely different place. So I dreamed of going to another land, not necessarily to work, but to satisfy my curiosity and explore new learnings and experiences. Then one day, a good friend, Maribeth Galindo, coordinator of the social science division at UIC, told me to join their group for a leisure trip to Hongkong and Macau after summer break and because my passport will about to expire early next year with no single stamp yet from the immigration, I wasted no time and agreed. For the next three months, I became preoccupied with our itinerary plan, listing down everything I could think for this trip, I also did some research on different tourist spots around Hongkong and Macau and what public transp...

San Pedro Cathedral, stepping on Theological history

Image
San Pedro Cathedral, one of the largest Catholic Churches in Asia, made another history with its newly refurbish altar and tabernacle. The grand renovation, which partly done in Baroque architecture, has a stunning contrast of Gothic and Renaissance designs ushering both Theological and modern influences. This is quite interesting since only few Catholic churches in the Philippines so far use Baroque architecture. The structure is furnished in Auburn color accentuated with panel of Gold shade with emblems of Eucharistic mystery. The tabernacle has a luminous ray of Sapphire and Cobalt blue combinations.       The Cathedral's roof structure is designed like a boat symbolizing St. Peter's humble beginning. According to the Holy Bible, when he was handpicked by Jesus Christ to be His disciple, he was still Simeon, the Fisherman, Jesus then renamed him Peter and was later on selected as the "rock" whom Christ built His church. St. Peter became the first Pope, thus, all P...

Great Schemers

Kate Middleton and her mother, Carole Middleton, can be compared to Sir Thomas Boleyn and his daughter Anne Boleyn. Both great schemers. But unlike the Middletons, the Boleyns were aristocrats. THE BOLEYNS During medieval period, being linked to a King or a future King is like acquiring a large Estate, it would also enhance their standing in the society, so parents pushed their daughters so hard to be near to the royals. Sir Thomas Boleyn was exactly one of them. When his two daughters, Mary and Anne, were growing up, he made it clear they would be hovering around royalty. He sent both his daughters to the French court to be trained as Ladies-in-waiting.  When Anne returned home, she became an accomplished and well-educated woman ready to become a mistress of a King. Her father and uncle, Thomas Howard, the 2nd Duke of Norfolk, moved forward to place her in the English royal court, they introduced the young Anne to the notorious King, Henry VIII. Anne first served as...
