  @engineer20 As per our experience ni hubby in getting our NBI, mabilis lang din makakuha sa Mandaluyong Satellite Office satellite. Then pumunta kami around 4pm na kaya halos wala ng pila and ang bilis nakuha ng kay hubby (10 mins lang) while ako pinabalik after a week kasi may hit daw. I tried getting my NBI ng morning kaso naka short ako kaya pinabalik ako, then ang haba rin ng pila kaya mas okay na hapon na lang ako bumalik

  Si hubby may hit din nung kumuha kami. Ang weird daw nga kasi ilang yrs na siyang nakuha pero nakukuha naman niya on the same day. Naglokohan lang kami nung sabi namin na 18 yrs old na yata yung kapangalan niya. After a week, nung nakuha na namin, naalala niya na nabunggo nga pala kami ng pick up last Sept. kya siguro may record kaya may hit. Not necessarily na may kaso ang same name mo, pwd rin kahit na naging victim ka ng isang maliit na case.
