May iniintay pa kami sa health assessment. Kami ata ang magiging last sa Octoberians
I just received CO contact today. Medyo nalito lang ako sa request nya. Nag attach na kasi ako ng NBI clearance (Dec 2016 ako kumuha nito sa NBI) pero may nirequest pa din na "Personal particulars for character assessment". Does it mean kelangan ko ulit kumuha ng bagong NBI clearance or meron kaya sila ibang hinihingi?
Nagrereply ba sila sa questions for clarifications of requests?
