Whole day pila balde

@ NBI

Arriving at the SO in QC Hall around 8:30 to renew my clearance, the long lines suggest na malamang I had to endure mahaba-habang tayuan. A fixer instantly approached me and offered a way out. For P550.00 di na raw pipila versus the usual P115 payment. I almost succumb to his proposition.

I am just wondering how they still exist amidst two streamers which reminds everyone to report such. Their presence is so noticeable that they even socialize at times with guards in the area and is an indication that many still avail of their services and some permit such.

Puch*, apat na oras akong nakatayo just to pay and get my receipt. There were three lines and ours was painfully crawling slower than the pagong. The next steps however were relatively quick. Sa kabila ng hirap marami pa din naman akong nanotice na display of positive attributes. Some are puro reklamo, while others ay game magpatawa at makipagkilala. Respect is also present, sa mga normal na pumila walang singitan at hindi rin mahirap makiusap kung kailangan mag CR o kumain.

Pagkatapos makuha ang recibo diretso na sa Window 4 para sa picture then 5 para sa data encoding at kung saan malalaman kung may HIT ka which means either may ongoing court case or kapangalan na meron. Sa window 5 tudo dasal ako na sana wala ako namesake at buti naman wala nga kaya diretso na window 6 for the releasing. And it was already 2:30 PM.

Thus, you really need at least a day off from work para maprocess and inyong NBI, though my previous experience sa main office ay di hamak na mas mabilis. Satellite offices and kiosks were established to provide convenience and easy access. Yes, they indeed succeeded in terms of accessibility but everyone still has to endure the agony of long lines.

Done with the NBI, SSS membership application next.

@ SSS

With just a jeep ride, instantly, I went to SSS Diliman branch to process my membership application.

My uncle holds a VP position in the SSS, but again I decided to go through the usual process. The queue was indeed organized and quite speedy. Before the end of the working hours, I am done.

Ngayon ramdam ko ang sakit sa paa. Sa mga disers at mall employees na whole day nakatayo, ramdam ko kayo! Nevertheless, ang sarap ng pakiramdam kung talagang pinaghihirapan ang mga gustong makuha sa buhay!  LOL
