Another thing po, tama po ba pagkakaintindi ko? Nakita ko po kasi sa ACS na kailangan 2 ng years work experience for skills assessment then un ginamit kong work experience for skills assessment hindi na siya pwede maconsider for points sa work experience. So lets say 3 years work experience ako, so 2 years mapupunta for skills assessment, so ang pwede ko na lang maclaim is 1 year for work experience which is 0 pts. Ganun po ba yun?
