    Hello po. Magsusubmit po ako ng eoi pero nacoconfuse po ako kung isasama ko yung middle name ko sa given name? Or okay lang po ba na hindi ko isama? Baka kasi po maging "second name" ko dito yung middle name kahit maiden name naman talaga siya ng mother.

    @jennahvelasquez next round of invitation po eh sa Nov. 11 na ulit. Habang naghihintay, better to make your documets complete para pag nainvite, mabilis na kayo makapaglodge. Asikasuhin nyo na din yung credit card in case need magpaincrease ng limit kasi may katagalan si bank. ;)
