applied 12th granted 21st of october.
thanks to everyone who replied sa mga questions ko. @Aiza05 @muffles127 @Admin
napakahelpful talaga.
ps: wala akong payslip, itr or coe naibigay. only bank cert and leave approval letter lang from employer.
siguro a good cover letter, strong proof of reason to return tulad ng advice sakin (in my case medcert ng mom ko) and mga docs ng naginvite okay na
finally, matinding dasal lang. si God mabait yan.

Matthew 7:7
Ask and you will receive, search and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Eventhough I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
