completed the online application on the 2016 slot you want. But did not receive a <b>DFA confirmation email or DFA appointment code</b> on your target date - well, you're not alone. There seems to be a glitch in the current system or a backlog on the <b>Department of Foreign Affairs confirmation emails</b>.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">But don't PANIC! </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The email will come in, hours after. So don't worry!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">There seems to be a delay in the system, but the <b>DFA appointment code </b>does eventually come in. Also do check your spam folder and other email folders.</span></span><br />
<br />
Well what if it doesn't? What if I still don't have my email after 3 days?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The 72 Hour Reset of your Passport Booking Application</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>According to several Pinoys who have experienced this firsthand, there is a reset window. </i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
Your appointment booking has a reset of 72 hours (a total of 3 days
since the time you filed it) meaning you can try booking the appointment
slot you wanted after 3 days (if its still there).<br />
<br />

<br />
If it's still not there and still no email. You will have to wait another 72 hours for the reset and apply again.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind that whenever we apply to a government facility for paperwork we have to be patient.They are handling requests for the whole country. Compared to the situation decades ago, the government system in handling paperwork now is a huge leap. I commend the online ordering system of Census/NSO and the NBI Clearance which is quite efficient and very out of the dark ages. I hope the same can happen for the DFA and the UMID systems.<br />

<i>Though mystery talaga ang <b>BIR Digitized TIN ID,</b> wala pa ako na me-meet na meron ito, DFA insists na meron and part ng accepted IDs, BIR says the print out ID they have ay yun na ang digitized ID.

Let us consider the two ways you can get there—travelling using your car or

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><b>If you are using
your private car,</b> it is recommended to travel early especially on Mondays and
Fridays. You don’t want to spend two to three hours of your time getting stuck
on traffic just because your alarm didn’t do its duty and wake you up around 5
AM to 7 AM which offers less to no traffic. Ready your gas for approximately 40
kilometers via Metro Manila Skyway and South Luzon Expressway (SLEX).</span>

Mabangis ang mga sagot ni Sunshine, “Did you really think I
was that stupid? Did you really think I would just cry in one corner and
do nothing? Too bad this stupid girl isn’t stupid after all.”
Sunshine also expressed her sadness that this incident has affected her
two children, “You ruined two families. You ruined the lives of our
children. For almost a year you had the audacity to live with that woman
in the same building were your own children lives.”<br />

Taiwan continuously reinforces its importance as the Philippines’ trading partner. According to 2015 Philippine Statistics Authority data, Taiwan is the 4th top import country (with 5.2 billion USD imports) and the 9th top export country (with 2.2 billion USD exports) in the world. With this, Taiwan Excellence campaign, which is organized by Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) of Taiwan government and implemented by Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), is again rolling out for the third year in the Philippines to further strengthen trading ties between the two countries.<br />

Over the years, Taiwan Excellence activities have brought Filipinos closer to Taiwanese products. These innovative and high quality products have seen greater acceptance in the market and have become an integral part of the Filipino lifestyle – from appliances that provide convenience in managing households, gadgets that complement hectic schedules, and equipment that makes committing to a healthy goal easier.<br />

She has been at the park since Black Saturday with the toddler.<br />
<br />
<br />
Her name is <b>Allain Diladia,</b> 20 years old from Masbate. Her
husband works as a dishwasher in Angeles City, Pampanga but she has no
way of contacting her since the relatives took away her cellphone. She
is 9 months pregnant and can give birth anytime soon.<br />

A good Samaritan by the name of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jaypee.chua.94" target="_blank"><b>Jaypee Chua posted her photo on FB</b></a>, hoping to get help for the poor woman and her child. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jaypee.chua.94" target="_blank"><b>Please visit the FB page, hope someone can reach out and send help</b></a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-size: large;">Her relatives are just plain cruel, if they don't want her around this isn't a good way to send her off on her own. They basically treated her like a cat that they could just throw away. I can't imagine the horrible situation she's in, left in a city park on Holy Week, with no money or phone, pregnant and with a toddler in tow :( </span></span><br />
<br />
As of today, the team of Mr. Chua (based on the FB post) are doing the best they can for her. madhatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05919690902316120755noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8490515921749078689.post-89010186031655318512016-03-10T20:52:00.003-08:002016-03-10T20:53:20.704-08:00James Cubelo: Bukas Pinto LRT Ride - Happy Students ng Technological University of the Philippines<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AVtphDB9HvY/VuJNyIrQqKI/AAAAAAAAO1U/rbBHoL7rcvobsonRtik-UfWGtaw7oenvQ/s1600/LRT_manilaPhilippines.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AVtphDB9HvY/VuJNyIrQqKI/AAAAAAAAO1U/rbBHoL7rcvobsonRtik-UfWGtaw7oenvQ/s400/LRT_manilaPhilippines.JPG" width="263" /></a> </span><br />

<i>March 10, 2016 around 6 pm. Sumakay kami ng friend ko sa LRT1 from Central Station. Napansin namin na hindi nag-close ang door pero tumatakbo na, nagulat nalang kami nung sinabi ni manong guard na kumapit nalang kami ng mabuti, ano to! Star City lang ang peg, ganun! At first di ko naisipang i-video kasi sobrang kabado talaga ako! Pero, in fairness ahh! nag-enjoy kami! i know na sobrang delikado talaga sya, pero no choice na kami at that moment kasi nakaandar na sya ng matulin! best part is, sumakay kami ng puno na ang tren, pero nung nalaman na bukas ang door habang tumatakbo, biglang lumuwag nalang,,, haha. takot nalang namin lahat na mahulog noh, knowing na GRADUATING KAMI! ganun! Well, thanks God, buhay pa kami now at safe!!! HUY! KAYONG MGA STAFF SA LRT1, UMAYOS-AYOS KAYO HAH!
p.s. alam na nilang di nagsasara ang door, pero di nagtapos sa U.N. station ang lahat dahil may part 2 pa ang ride, upload ko nalang later. May foreigners akong kasama that time </i><br />

<br />
Wait!? What can they actually do this? Subscribe you without you agreeing to anything?<br />
<br />
My fear is if I ignore this email, the bill under my email would keep piling up until it gets to a hefty sum, then I'm served up with some legal letter for a service I don't plan to use or even interested in subscribing to. In the end, I'll be paying for a huge bill for a service I did not use and for a disconnection fee pa if this is a contract for 24 months?<br />
<br />
Anyone else received such an email? Were you billed the first month? Their hotline is always busy.<br />
<br />
I would avail of this Spotify service if the auto-billing tactics weren't so underhanded :(<br />

<b>CN Tan</b>, real name <b>Cyrill Tan</b>, the beloved Young Adult fiction author from the Philippines has supposedly passed from Pneumonia. He is the <b>Charlie Sparks: A Sorcerer's Tale Author</b>, this YA book is a popular read among Filipino teens. He does book tours and talks at local schools.
So can anyone confirm is this true? Because this is TRULY SAD to hear :( Way too young and way too talented. I hope this is a hoax.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">And <i>"Please don't hold it against the ladies"</i> just doesn't cut it! You could hear the screams and boos off the crowd, it felt like boxing night instead of a pageant affair!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And what a bittersweet win for <b>Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach</b>, girl wasn't sure what to do, of course she wants the crown, but really they had to ripped the crown from someone's crying head. Doesn't feel like a win though. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Miss Philippines</span><b style="font-size: x-large;"> </b><span style="font-size: large;">had the composure of steel, not showing any bit of joy at her sudden win that could easily be mistaken for a moment's schadenfreude. I guess she was just as confused as everyone.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How humiliating for Miss Colombia, and Miss Philippines didn't get to sashay on stage with the crown on her head as they cut her off the show to give way to sponsor logos.</span><br />
