ask ko po sana, panu po malalaman kung yung 38 slots na nakaopen dun based sa skillselect website ay taken na? Kasi po until now, wala pa sila publications kung filled up na ang Mechanical, Industrial and Production Eng'g. occupational ceiling. Gusto ko po sana malaman kung meron pang April 26 invitation round for Mechanical Eng'g... Thanks po!
