@jmban33 thanks! pero IED lang, balik ule ako dito. importante lang ma-activate na ung PR at matapos ung dapat matapos para pag kelangan lumipad, pwedeng pwede anong oras. esp after elections LOL
@pedrosg lol sa hugot. from the past 5 years kasi, buong buhay ko sa SG, nakaka-frustrate kasi na hindi talaga flavor of the month mga pinoy sa PR dito, lalo pag hindi ka ka-lahi ng 70% majority (alam mo nato LOL). di ko siya na-experience personally, pero ung mga kaibigan kong noypi medyo nakaranas at pag ni-share nila, medyo affected din kahit papano. at least sa OZ, walang pabor na lahi. pag pasok sa points system, PR agad

Question lang po sa PH NBI clearance, ilang months po ba ang validity nya?
Hindi pa ako na-iinvite, pero magbabaksyon po kasi ako sa May, balak ko na rin sana kumuha ng NBI clearance in advance dahil medyo hassle kung dito pa sa SG kukuha. Gusto ko lang sana malaman kung ilang months ba ang validity ng PH NBI clearance at kung may bearing ba if sa Pinas ako kumuha or SG?
D kasi nakasulat sa DIBP site duration ng validity.
Thanks!

Pero kung this year ka naman pupunta ng AU, mas okay na kumuha kana ng NBI para wala na masyado hassle.
Kasi yan lang pinakamatrabaho (hassle sa paghihintay sa pila, sobra bagal), yung SG PCC and medical mabilis lang naman processing nito dito sa SG.
