1. when I worked there, yung DICT was still called ICTO (under DOST)... after my stint there, PNoy signed an agreement na ginagawa ng separate department si ICTO. So my COE is under ICTO pa...
2. Hindi sila nagbibigay ng normal payslips.. parang mga vouchers lang, and ung iba hndi pa complete yung pirma (you know how government agencies work...) are those ok? do I have to provide lahat ng "payslips"?
3. Since hndi ako regular employee doon, wala akong evidences na maipapakita like SSS, PAGIBIG, PHILHEALTH or even ITR kc lahat yun voluntary ko bnayaran before except ung sa tax, hndi ako natataxan that time... Would this be a problem?
4. Sa detailed JD ko sa DICT, since ung Director na under ako that time is retired na and hndi na sya mareach and matandang matanda na, pwede na lang ba ako magpapirma sa mga kasamahan ko doon na napromote na ngayon to a regular position na Engineer?
Sana po matulungan nyo ko. Planning to get an agent pero namamahalan ako...
