Matagal tagal na ring di ako nakakauwe ng GABI.. lagi na lang kasing inuumaga! yeboi!

Shame on me, I said and posted to my facebook account today. Asked me why? Well, at this age I dont have a passport yet which barred (aside from budget) me from traveling abroad.

I decided to schedule last november an appointment with the DFA for passport application. Hence, there is a great perception that getting one is a tiring process. Do I have a choice? Today, was the day I scheduled it so its like an adventure to me like what i experience when i took a NBI clearance (i will post this soon).

I arrived in DFA (Diosdado macapagal highway) at exactly 3:15. I was instructed to use the gate 1 as my entrance, Gate 1 serves as an entrance for online applicant. If you are planning the same thing don’t forget to prepare your documents ahead of time. I presented the print-out to the guard (online applicants should print the confirmation email that was sent upon application). After wards, I was directed to proceed to the VERIFICATION TABLE then they signed my application printed application form.

I was asked to proceed for the step 1. Its a lil bit awkward since i thought it was step 2 already. Then, the line is like rows and I started complaining to myself “what the heck is this”. Until I realized that it was not even 15 that I finished the 3 row lane. After presenting legal IDs and proof of identification. I was directed to go to STEP 2. Step 2, is in the 2nd floor and need to present the receipt given at Step 1 and the passport payment. Anyway,at step 1 you will be asked if you want rush or normal process, 950 for normal and 1200 for rush. I paid the step 2 after waiting for 10mins. I got a number for the 3rd and final step. it was then 1177 and my number is 1257.

I asked myself if how fast will it be and while doing some texting with friends lil did I realized that it was my number already and after 5 mins done processing.

All I can say is.. Hail DFA! it was one of the awesome government requirement experience. You truly worth the pay, It was a good service for taxpayers like us. To wrap it up here are the step:

Entrance (present your schedule appointment for online applicants Step 1: Prepare original ID ans photocopies to prevent returning back Step 2: prepare for your payment Dtep 3 ready for verifying your information In a rank which 5 is the highest. I’ll give 4.90 to DFA. I supposed to rate it 5 however due to not so cold aircon at the 2nd floor i dropped it to 4.90 to

However, I hope all the Government agencies are this efficient! Bravo!

Why?

First, When I tried to research for places to travel in North Luzon I dont have any Idea about Baler. Although I heard stories about it, But I never considered it as my destination.

Second, When I posted where to travel and started to research about it. I found a blog that helps me with all the information I need.

Third, When I applied for leave and do the math for my budget. I got all the approves and resources I needed.

fourth, When I posted my travel date, a friend message me that they will be going there on the day i posted my travel. She gave me insights after her travel about the place and her experience.

Lastly, I have another tumblr friend who traveled there. Whoa!

It keeps me excited, It gave me sleepless morning (morning is my time to sleep).
