I saw you're from Admin.. I just want to get second opinion..
Can I get a confirmation if my understanding is correct, please... I've been here in SG since June 2007, so over 10 years na.
So hindi ko na need kumuha ng Pinas NBI? Lahat ng uwi ko kasi sa Pinas, puro holiday lang which is definitely less than 365 days.
Thanks!
