@Tsunade I doubt if they even do the verification. Random siguro for audit purposes. Sa experience ko dito they put greater emphasis on what you put and sign in your application as a legal document. If later on it is discovered that you misrepresented something in a document that you signed, it will come back to you.
Besides, wala naman pong issue if you go on medical leave to process your papers. That would be an issue between you and your company if they chose to make it so.
