    @chococrinkle yung sakin kasi wala na TB test (x-ray) and blood test, parang physical exam lang. Almost 2yo pa lang toddler ko, I'm not sure kung sa 4yo parehas lang.

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    @dutchmilk hi.
    Yung daughter ko nagxray din sa nationwide, may nakita din, something like primary complex/ koch’s disease, so nag undergo sya ng sputum smear test and culture, after 3 mos. naclear din sya, 2nd xray nya sa St Luke’s Ermita. All clear.
    Sabi ng doc sa St Luke’s, blurry daw ang xray ng Nationwide, pinakita din sa akin ung old and new film, most likely yung nakikita daw something sa lateral xray ay mga ugat (arteries/veins).
    So kung malinaw sana yung sa Nationwide, sana hindi na nasubject ang anak ko sa further tests.
    By the way, nagpositive kasi sya sa PPD kaya nagpa xray sya.

    @dutchmilk may contact na po ulit ang Nationwide sa inyo after your xray?
    Sa daughter ko kasi sinabi na wait for further instructions. BUPA ung nag email sa akin, sabi from panel clinic yung referral to where and when yung further tests.

    @PMPdreamer @dutchmilk
    Although kung may further test naman it’s for free, kasama siguro yun sa payment sa Nationwide.
    Pero yung follow up xray meron na. P800.
    Plus yung hassle na dalhin ko anak ko dun every appointment! Absent sya sa school. Absent ako sa office.
    Hindi ko alam kung meron something sa xray results ng Nationwide, I can’t judge kasi hindi din nila ni-provide yung film sa amin, ipapakita ko sana sa private doc. At hindi din ako doc para masabing mali sila.
    But knowing the competencies of a St Luke’s doctor and the fact that they are panel doctors of embassies, magtataka ka din bakit ganun ang reading nila sa 2nd xray, versus preliminary xray ng Nationwide. May problem ba sa xray ng nationwide o nagkataon lang talaga na may nakita sa anak ko?
    Para sa magulang na tulad ko, nakakapraning yung malaman mo na may sakit ang anak ko na wala kaming idea. 3 buwan din ako paranoid dahil dun. In the end, cleared din sya.

    @jacjacjac @PMPdreamer nakakapraning naman ang xray sa nationwide. Dun pa naman namin plan ng hubby at panganay namin mg medical next saturday. Kasi as advised din ng iba dito di sila ganun ka strict compared sa st lukes, kaya doon preferred namin. Pero si 4yo separate sya sa st lukes sya namin papa medical sa next monday para sa IGRA. Ayoko din mag skin test sa nationwide kasi hindi daily ang IGRA dun. Sana maging okay results namin. Praying hard for it, and claiming God's blessing sa amin. Sana makuha nyo na rin visa grant ninyo. Malapit na yan. :-)

    May history po ako ng PTB last 2015. After treatment, xrays ko from 2016-2017 cleared naman na po. Ngayon, nawawala po kasi previous films ko. What I have now is a picture of the medical cert given to me by my pulmonologist lasg 2015 upon completion of the treatment and my recent xray last October 2017. Picture ng med cert kasi i took a pic of it in case nga mawala. Sa tingin niyo po ba okay na yun na dalhin sa day ng medical exam ko? Yung xray and yung picture ng med cert sa phone ko?

    Also, napansin ko po na kapag may history eh automatic sputum and culture na. Mas okay po ba na sa st lukes nalang ako kesa nationwide since malaki po yung chance na baka ipag sputum din ako?

    Hello eveyone!

    Just wanna ask if by default, mag eemail bah talaga directly ang DIBP sa clients for further instructions if pending ang medicals? Like in my case, I have an issue with my chest x-ray and we have not receive any email from DIBP regarding kung mag rerepeat xray bah ako or will undergo sputum test. I only knew that I need to have a repeat x-ray when I called Nationwide Cebu. Weird lng bakit wala kaming email from the embassy.

    gudpm, ask ko lang po if meron pong forum or meron po ditong naglodge ng visa (190) while undergoing medication for extrapulmonary tb? ask po sana ako advice when is the better time to lodge? before or after ng course ng treatment?

    @emcee i would recommend na mag lodge kana kahit di ka pa tapos treatment mo. if i remember correctly, you are only given 60 daya to lodge. sayang naman yung invite kung ma expire lang. mas okay na hindi ka ma Direct Grant dahil di pa cleared medicals mo kesa ma miss yung chance to lodge visa

    Hi everyone! Not a chest xray issue, but a medical concern also...

    My ITA expires on March 4. Balak ko na sana magpa-medical tomorrow. Kaya lang, 2 days ago, sumakit breast cysts ko. So kanina, I went to see a surgeon. I have to do sonomammogram, mammography, and possibly, excision next week.

    Should I proceed with the medical tomorrow (kahit alam ko may makakapa sila na cyst)? Or after na lang the excision once cleared na? Kaya lang, if after the excision, after March 4 ko pa mako-complete ang medicals ko. And baka maging issue sa kanila yung scar ko from the excision.

    Gulung-gulo po ako ngayon. What should I do??? Thanks po!

    base sa nabasa ko sa ibang forum, hindi sila nag deny ng application based on health issue. in fact, meron pa nga daw na may cancer pero in the end na approve din. madedelay ka nga lang sa pagkuha ng approval. pero atleast hindi nasayang yung ITA which is mahirap makuha.
