  @danyan2001us thnx sa info. Nag check nko they suggesting na mg open daw ko ng us account sa knila. Or bumili ako ng dollar sa labas then mgbayad sa knila. Question ko is there any way na mg walk in ako sa bank and pay my tuition fee using our money which is pesos not dollar? Any suggestion po

  hi cody...actually that was exactly what we did...kasi ang account namin ay nasa BDO so it was there that we did the payment.....iconvert lang naman yang dollar account sa school into peso so kung nao yong amount ay siya ring babayaran mo....

  @cody pangit ang system ng BDO money maker yan e kami ng magbabayad ng tuition fee gagamitin sana namin yung BDO account namin pero ang sabi samn need daw namin bumili ng dollar tapos tsaka lang pwede mag bayad ng tuition fee e dami pa nila hidden charges kaya ang ginawa namin nagpunta kami sa isang bank namin ni misis sa BPI un easy lang may automatic sila ng convert to dollar basta may accpunt ka sakanila at wala pang satsat bayad agad hindi katulad sa BDO dami pang sabi. God bless po sa lahat.

  Loving Lord!The Scripture says that You are aware of all our needs, even before we ask You. So I come to You and place this request at Your loving hands.You know how desperate I am for getting the Visa. My soul has become weary and anxious over this delay in getting the visa .O Lord! Speak in the hearts of the concerned officials, grant me favour in their eyes and help me to get my visa on time so that my purpose is fulfilled. Perfect everything for me my Master. I wait at Your feet and trust in You to make this possible. I know that You will do it for You will never let Your children down. I thank You for listening to my plea! To You alone be all honour and glory. In the sweet name of Jesus I pray.Amen.

  Hello everyone, alam kong off topic, but i desperately need your advise on how to make a reapplication letter. How to address one by one my areas of concern or how to answer punto por punto yung reasons ng Case Officer ko sa pagrefuse nya ng application ko. i was refused due to GTE, can someone please give me a draft or idea. Thank u in return.

  @jkeith, if it's okay with you pwedeng pakipost ng punto por punto na reasons ng CO mo. I think it can help our members here avoid the same problems.
