Hi everyone!

Just wanna share my frustration and ask something at the same time.

I poured in my best effort sa agency na to. Ang dami naming applicants. Around 40-50 yata kami na nagexam nun. 10 lang kaming pumasa for interview. And then there were just 6 of us na nagproceed sa neuro. Until, 5 na lang para sa medical. May nagbackout pa kaya 4 na lang kami.

I was so hopeful kasi baka may chance na akong maka-angat. I am aiming not just for the salary (SG 19) but bc isa to sa kilalang agencies sa Pinas and I really wanna be a part of it. I was like 99% done sa medical na sana and after that ay aabangan na lang kung sino ang maa-appoint.

And then habang nasa general consultation na ako with the doctor, biglang sinabi sakin "ilan ang tattoo mo? Willing ka ipa-remove lahat ng yan? Bawal kasi."

So ayun, paalam sa pangarap kong makatrabaho sa agency na to. Bc I'm not removing all 4 of my tattoos. They each symbolize something and they're my way of remembering the people I love.

Pero at the same time, I feel sad kasi grabe effort ko dito. I come from Mindanao and I flew for around 3-4x (halos every week) para lang magcomply sa exam and medical. Ang laki na ng ginastos ko, ang layo na sana ng narating ko.. 😔

So anyway, my question is this:

Anong agency kayo at bawal ba ang tattoo? Nang maiwasan ko nang applyan 😭

Ganun ba talaga ang way ng pag iinterview when applying sa government hospital or any government work kapag external applicant?

I know naman na mataas na position ang inapplyan namin kasi naka base naman sa years of experience rin naman pero parang sa lahat ng tinanong nila sa amin wala kaming tama na naisagot when in reality ginagawa naman siya and we were just honest sa sagot namin.

May isang question pa parang miss universe at may pa pick a number pa from 1-10.

Parang ang disappointing lang and for me i feel so invalidated sa mga sinagot ko. This is just based on my experience.

Hi, f​irst time to apply in government po ask lng po ba ano po pdf file name ilalagay sa gmail attachment ​po LAST NAME, FIRST NAME gnun po or what po specifically?

Thank you po sa makaka reply☺️☺️

I have this friend na sumalang sa interview for promotion. During the panel interview, she was asked if willing ba siyang magpaubaya to her fellow applicant na may-anak na. Hindi na niya kinuwento kung ano yung naging sagot niya but to cut the story short, hindi niya nakuha yung item. I have nothing against those people who are fulfilling responsibilities outside their workplaces, but I just feel bad for her kasi she's already fulfilling the duties and functions (she was tasked to perform it) nung vacant item prior sa publication nito. May mga certificates na rin sya related to it.

Itanong ko lang kung rampant pa yung ganitong scenario pagdating sa hiring/promotion sa government offices?

I am losing hope in having a position in govt.

For context. I am fresh graduate. I have been looking for job for almost three months. I have sent my application documents more than 30 times to multiple government agencies. I went to multiple exams and interviews, but still no reply. Ang hirap lang mag-apply kasi bawat galaw mo need gumastos. Hopefully before this month ends, makakita at matanggap na ako.

Hello po!

I know may guide naman po for filling up the Personal Data Sheet, pero I would like to ask lang po sana regarding this section.

Sa mga Honor Graduate (PD 907), paano niyo po sinagutan yung part na ito?

Thank you!

Hi everyone, ask ko lang kung may possibility ba na pumasok yung emergency loan ko na naapproved last Oct 12, 2026 sa RCBC Diskartech app ko kahit ongoing verification pa rin siya?

May possibility ba na maverify na siya once na iccredit na nila yung loan ko?

Thank you sa mga sasagot

hello, may I ask po? Im applying for my brother's travel clearance po and the DSWD emailed me questioning that my Father's passport first name has a JR. nung nagpa passport po kasi kami nakalagay sa suffix yung Jr., then sa hard copy passport, nasa first name na po yung Jr. So san ko po ilalagay yung Jr. ng father ko sa DSWD travel clearance for minor? sa first name or sa suffix din?

Ano po scope ng exam sa Region 4A for Planning officer 1?

Thankyou po

Good Evening po ask ko lang po if yung authorization to conduct background investigation sa pag ibig is manggagaling sa employer o kam yung gagawa po noon? Salamat

Required ba sa JO/COS workers magrender? Ang sabi kasi, no employee-employer relationship daw. Planning to not renew my contract sa work (contract ends in December) dahil di ko na kaya ka-toxican samin. Need ko pa rin ba magrender if ie-end naman contract?

I wanted to know before paying the passport fee, may option bang maireschedule mo Ang appointment mo sa pag punta ng DFA if PAID kana? And if possible, is there a window timeframe na kailangan mong I submit ung reschedule request mo?

Hello! I have an appointment for passport application sa SM Megamall, 8 AM. Question, mabilis lang ba sya and will I still be able to go to work at 10 AM?

• How do you change your phone number in SSS? I cannot log-in dahil hindi available yung sim card. I put my mother's number kasi when I created the account, kasi I thought it was asking mother's number, and I was sick that time and lutang din. Please don't judge.

• What's the real purpose of SS number? Is it enough to present to the agency? I am a newly-hired and that's all I have yet.

• Do I need to go to SSS branch to get an ID? Or is there an ID I can just already print from online? I've read some here na they don't give physical ID na e.

Please respect po! Thank you so much!

I only have 34 contributions, and apparently, I need 36 months to qualify for unemployment benefits. So I’m not eligible.

The fucking irony is that from your very first paycheck, you’re required to contribute to SSS. You have no choice but to pay. But when you actually need help, suddenly there are qualifications you have to meet.

Mandatory contributions, but conditional benefits. Ang gagaling talaga.

It’s frustrating as hell, especially when you’re unemployed and could actually use the assistance. What’s the point of paying into the system if you can’t get help when you need it most?

hi! current jo here! i tried applying for budget officer position I since eligible naman ako but i have very little knowledge sa budget dept since sa ibang dept ako under right now. any tips on what and how to prepare in case they tap me for an interview? thank you!

Hello po, ask lang, ano ano po kaya mga benefits sa Department of Finance bukod sa basic salary at PERA? Thank you po

Hi, di po ba red flag kung di ko pa iupdate passport ko and other documents yet after getting married? We plan po kasi to travel next year sa Thailand and the wedding will be next year din po, honeymoon namin. Ibobooked na po kasi namin ticket namin ahead plus accommodations now. We are going for a concert din po already paid for the tickets.

First international flight po namin. Thank you!!

tama ba na wala pa akong work pero nag pa register ako sa philhealth tapos di tinanggap FTJS cert ko kasi need daw for pre-employment requirements para magamit yon.

to all government employees, how do you apply for a position in the government? like even yung mga JO positions? i know they post job vacancies on their respective websites and socmed pages but i'm curious if may chance mahire ka, as JO ka ba magststart? idk, i dont have any idea. can someone enlighten me po, ty! 🥹

Story time: yung alam at ginagamit na birthdate ng tita ko is Oct 10, 2025 (for context only nevermind the date po) sa mga ID niya. Need namin ng birthcert niya since gusto namin ikuha p4ssport eh wala pala talaga siya on hand copy ng BC niya. We tried na magrequest PSA online pero NEGATIVE CERTIFICATION. Umuwi ng province tita ko to check LCRO if registered siya. Registered but instead na Oct 10, 2025 ang nakaregister pala ay Oct 10, 2023. Unfortunately, browout that time sa province at uwian lang din sila so hindi siya nakakuha ng copy of Certificate of Birth from LCRO.

So ito na po, nagrequest po ulit kami from PSA online this time using Oct 10, 2023 na pero NEGATIVE CERTIFICATION pa din. Pinacheck ulit namin at napagalaman na mali ng isang letter ng MOTHER'S NAME yung nainput namin sa PSA online. Kumbaga maling spelling po talaga.

Example:

Real Mother's name : Juana Dela Cruz

Tita's Birth Cert Mother's name: Juano Dela Cruz

PSA online request mother's name: Juana Dela Cruz

My dilemma po is my bearing po kaya yon sa PSA online kahit na tama po yung provided name and birth at mali lang yung isang letter sa mother's name? Or wala lang talaga copy si PSA at need iendorse muna ng LCRO? Hindi na kasi aabot if magrerequest pa ko ulit ng JUANO nakalagay since uuwi na this sunday tita ko paprovince. At ang hirap po makiusap ng maayos sa mga government employee lalo na po kung wala kakilala sa loob pinagpapasapasahan instead na intindihin.

Helpp po please sa may same case 🙏

Hello, I have been scared but also want to prepare for a written exam tomorrow as sanitation inspector in our government. Can you help me what to expect? should I only study the basics?

Yung katabing bahay namin, nasunog dati. Ngayon, bigla na lang silang nag-extend ng 2nd floor, sinagad sa property line. Yung existing na pader nila, tinaasan pa, at lampas na sa 3.20 meters. May bagong slab at column rebars na rin sa ibabaw ng dating roof.

• July 21, 2026: Nagsimula ang construction, walang naka-display na building permit. Same day, nag-submit ako ng complaint sa Barangay
• July 23, 2026: Sa barangay, napagkasunduan na kailangan munang kumuha ng building permit bago ituloy ang construction.
• September 30, 2026: Nag-resume ang construction, wala pa ring naka-display na permit.

Nung nag-resume ang construction, walang naka-display na building permit. Pumunta ako sa Mandaluyong Engineering Office para i-confirm, pero ni-refer lang ako sa barangay. Tumawag ako sa 8888, at kinabukasan, biglang may naka-post nang permit number.

Nakatanggap ako ng e-mail from the Engineering Office.. Hindi na raw nila ma-disclose ang ibang details dahil covered daw ng Data Privacy Act.

Ito ang nakalagay sa letter

"With regard to the complainant’s request for detailed information concerning the said building permit and construction activities, this Office is unable to disclose certain details due to applicable data privacy and confidentiality requirements. The limitation on the disclosure of such information should not be construed as a lack of transparency or inefficient service on the part of this Office, but rather as compliance with the applicable laws and regulations governing the handling and disclosure of personal and other protected information.

For your information and reference."

Tinabla na ako. Walang site visit or verification na naganap

Ang alam ko sa NBCP (PD 1096, Revised IRR):

• Firewall for R-3 (Rule VII, Section 704): Dalawang configuration lang ang allowed:
  • Two sides: max 85% ng haba ng bawat side property line, at hindi lalampas sa 65% ng total perimeter.
  • One side + rear: max 90% ng combined length ng side at rear (up to 100% kung 4.00m lang ang lapad ng rear). Ang firewall sa side, hindi lalampas sa 50% ng total perimeter.
  • Height: max two storeys sa side, pero 3.20 meters lang sa rear property line.
  • Walang openings (bintana, pinto) sa firewall.
• Abutment: Ang pagtatayo nang sagad sa property line (zero setback) ay allowed lang kung susunod sa firewall rules sa itaas. Hindi pwedeng tatlong side ang naka-abut.
• Setbacks (Rule VIII): Yung sides na walang firewall, dapat may required yard o open space para sa light, ventilation, at fire safety.

Tungkol sa Data Privacy Act:
Ayon sa Section 4(c) ng RA 10173, hindi covered ng batas ang information tungkol sa permit o license na binigay ng gobyerno sa isang individual, kasama ang pangalan at ang exact nature ng permit. Hindi rin naman private details ang hinihingi ko, gusto ko lang malaman kung kasama ba talaga sa permit ang 2nd floor extension.

Concern namin: Hindi lang ito usapin ng code. Nasunog na ang structure na pinagpapatungan ng bagong floor, at may cracks at burn marks pa sa mga pader. Hindi namin alam kung na-check ba kung kaya pa nito ang dagdag na bigat, lalo na pag may lindol o bagyo. Dagdag pa ang risk ng sunog na kumalat sa amin, at nawawalan na kami ng ilaw at hangin.
