  @se29m sa pcc pasa mo lang requirements tapos attach mo yung invitation letter from skillselect. madalas nakakalusot yun sa officer pero si misis di pinayagan. hinahanap nila letter na nakalagay name nya kaya sa tingin ko kailangan ko muna maglodge para makapagdownload ng docs na nakalagay name nya. Jan 29 ako nagapply tapos nag-sms na sa Feb 10 ko pwede icollect.
