May confirmation ba ng final points sa EOI?
One more thing sa ACS ko nakalist yung lahat ng work ko from 2002-2013, pero sabi nila since June 2007 lang ang relevant, pag nag EOI ba ako i li list kong lahat from 2002 or from 2007 lang?
meron din bang issue kung wala akong work since mar 2014 (about 6 months) pag nag lodge ako ng EOI? ACS date approval is (Feb 2014).

May answer po ba ikaw dito?

And yung isang work ko is between 2006-2008, half relevant and half not, paano kaya yun.. I need that 1 year para sure ako sa points..

Im planning to apply as an architect. Meron lang akong problema sa pangalan ko.
Im have used the name in school which is "Rodan Rodolfo" when I applied for passpost the authority told me i can only use "Rodolfo" which is in my birth certificate.
Can you advise me how this will affect my application?
Thanks
Rod

saka which school pala kayo graduate kasi im not so certain if recognised ang degree sa Pinas for Architecture. I know 1 architect kasi before na narefuse ung application nia kasi nga daw indi recognised ung degree pero that was in 2011 pa, not sure if may changes sa regulation. i would suggest na iconfirm mo muna.
