Eto ung nasa list ng pro rata:
Accountants
Auditors, Company Secretaries and Corporate Treasurers
Electronics Engineers
Industrial, Mechanical and Production Engineers
Other Engineering Professionals
ICT Business and System Analysts
Software and Applications Programmers
Computer Network Professionals
Isa lang ung nasa list for 2613 code which is Software and Applications Programmers (261399). Wala sa list ung ibang 2613 codes like 261313, 261312 and 261311. Does it mean walang pro rata ung codes na to? Ang intindi ko kasi sa list ng pror rata is specific sya for 261399 lang and not for all 2613 codes. Tama po ba intindi ko? Thanks

Guys, nabasa ko to sa dibp website for march 29, 2017 invitation round...
"Other Engineering Professionals (2339) and Computer Network Professionals (2631) have exceeded their ceiling for this programme year. No further invitations will be offered for these occupations until the 2017-2018 programme year."
Does it mean closed na din sya for the entire 2017-2018? Or closed lang sya for now tas open na ulit pag start ng 2017-2018 programme sa july? Thanks po

Ask ko lang po, nagsubmit po kc ako ng EOI nung April 10 po for today's April 12 invitation round for Mechanical Engineer, though i am aware na currently, 38 slots na lng po natitira as per skillselect, ilang araw po kaya sila nagrerelease ng invitation after eoi submission? 65 points lang po ang naclaim ko. Sa email po ba sila magsend ng notification or dapat po lagi magcheck ng skillselect homepage po?

ask ko rin po sana sa inyong lahat, panu po malalaman kung yung 38 slots na nakaopen dun based sa skillselect website ay taken na? Kasi po until now, wala pa sila publications kung filled up na ang Mechanical, Industrial and Production Eng'g. occupational ceiling. Gusto ko po sana malaman kung meron pang April 26 invitation round for Mehanical Eng'g...

Yung sa Certificate of Employment ko kasi. Nagkamali yung HR ng lagay ng sweldo so pina-correct ko. Is there any way for me to delete or update the old document uploaded?

Hello @auitdreamer. Medyo lito lang. Ibig po ba sabihin pag may SS pwd din magpasa sa 189? Akala ko po kase pag may SS, kung cno un nagsponsor na state e dun lang pwede magpasa ng eoi for 190?
Halimbawa po 60pts ako ngayon, kung ma-sponsoran ako ni victoria magging 65 pts na po ako. Ibig po ba sabihin pwede na dn ako magpasa para 189 at 190 (vic)? Salamat
