Kung tama ang theory ko, baka yung mga di kinontact for approval na ng Grant yun.
Sana wag matipalok yung CO na mag a-approve baka mag sick leave naman. haha.
Chill nalang tayo guys, exhausted na rin ako kaka followup at kaka-antay. basta kung marami tayo, mas mabuti, at least hindi isolated case yung sa tin.
Sino pa mga october/september jan na di pa nacontact?

Actually now lang sya nag-follow-up nung i-advise ko na meron nang mga cases na nadedelay ang results.
Ang initial assumption kasi nya is matagal lang talaga or may issues sa medical nya kaya ayaw mag-followup..
