Thanks for this blog, now i know what i have to face in the coming days. dito pa ako sa pinas but recently hired ng phil school doha. nakakawindang dahil urgent ang hiring and as in lahat urgent! target departure before end ng july. kailangan ng superpowers ng time and bulsa para jan sa authentication na yan grabe! rampa to the max ang fats ko nito sa mga institutions (CHED, PRC, NBI, DFA). sana nga lang matapos lahat ng chuvanes na ito before magfly kung hindi bonggang gastusan sa courier para lang makacomply jan sa qatar. oops, di ba rin talaga safe ang courier papunta jan? hay, wish me luck!

hay grabe, next year pa ako uuwi. hindi ko alam kung ipapadala ko yong diploma sa pinas. Ayaw ko kasi ipa-courier dahil yon ang original. Buti na lang family ang visa so hindi urgent ang need. Pag kasi work visa - kailangan talaga.

hi nina, irritable talaga ano? kakatakang public servant sila mantalang kung minsan kung tratuhin ka nila e para kang basura, hmpf :) sa dami kasi ng red tape sa atin, lalong bumabagal ang takbo, aksaya ng oras at gastos; atsaka kasi rin daming peke kaya dagdag sakit ng ulo din. nung inayos ko ang papeles ko dito sa alemanya, inabot ako ng anim na buwan, at alam mo kung gaano kakapal? mga tatlong encyclopedia!

hay naku nina, i had the same problem; we wanted to apply for our marriage license via pe-tokyo, but they needed everything authenticated and it was such a hassle that we decided to wait until we got home.

having volunteered at the embassy before, i can kind of understand din naman, there have been a lot of forgeries din kasi. sigh.

btw, welcome back! ;-)

@xtian and reyna elena,

Thanks for the comments. May part 2 ito kasi tumawag ako sa embassy nakipagusap ako at inalam ko bakit kailangan ng red ribbon. I will blog about it wala lang ako time. Busy pa. Actually kung requirement talaga walang problema at pwede kong gawan ng paraan. Pero ayaw na ayaw ko sa lahat pag dead end ang sagot meaninng di ka man lang binigyan ng solusyon. I hate that!

As you know, dahil regular ka sa reyna hahaha, at dahil dual sex ang lola, dual citizen ekek ever ang chorva ko.

Sa New York naman, they're very very organized at nice naman. At least yun ang experience ko. Nung naging pinoy uli ako, although it still took a day to process the papers, at least ok na yun saken. And I was really surprised na ganun sila ka sociable and I was even kidding kung anong nakain nila why they acted like that kasi nga I was expecting the otherwise, not like when I went to Washington DC many years ago dahil nagparenew ako nang passport ko. Leche! Nairita ako dun! Di na ako bumalik. Mabuti na lang, I found out na ang Philly Pinoys falls sa responsibility nang NYC's Phil Embassy, kaya next time around, dun ako napadpad.

Kairita ang experience mo, Kahit ako mapapaputang ina!

I do agree that the Philippine Government actually makes it more difficult for Filipinos to get documents they need for travel or other purposes. I remember lining up in DFA to get some authenticated papers and it was hell.

Why can't these guys here in Doha provide good service when it's the only work that they have to do? I'm sure they're getting paid better than their counterparts in the Philippines.
