  Kuya Dan and friends,
  Question: yung OSHC na babayaran, entire duration of student visa na yun diba? Also, bakit ganun? Parang ang laki ng diffrence ng single sa dual OSHC? Around 1k lang if single then more than 4k na kapag dual. Ibig sabihun 3k yung kay hubby. Can you guys suggest something or no choice na, ganun talaga.

  Hi po. Ngpa inject ka ba talaga ng panibagong shots sa lahat ng required vaccines? Or serology lng to determine kung meron ka or wala?
