It was indeed not an easy journey. I was starting to lose hope na rin to be honest but glad I did not give up.
This forum has helped me a lot during the early stages and now as I prepare for the big move. I may have also interacted with some using my old accounts (not able to retrieve/reset password :sad). So, thank you for sharing what you know :wink:
Congratulations in advance to those who will be receiving their grants in the coming days (advance ako mag-isip)! :smiley:
