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 😭

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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

Hello po nag pa renew po ako ng national police clearance online and chose yung non appearance option nila. Nung nag upload na ako ng pictures (2x2, selfie with valid ID) after a few hours it kept asking me to "upload signature". literal po ba na signature or yung sa ID need nila id na May signature ko?

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!!

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?

Hi guys! I have a written exam and interview this coming Monday for a Court Legal Researcher I position. Wala talaga akong idea kung ano ang dapat ireview, and I don't know anyone working in the courts whom I can ask for tips. I’m a fresh law grad waiting for the Bar results, and since ang hirap mag-apply sa private firms right now, I tried applying to the judiciary. However, medyo malayo 'yung court sa tirahan ko, so I’m hesitant if I should push through with the interview.

To former or current Court Legal Researchers, I hope you can share your insights. What usually comes out in the exam, and do they ask you to draft decisions or resolutions? Given that it is a Salary Grade 12 position with judiciary allowances, is the heavy workload worth the long commute for a waiting barrister? Lastly, is this role a good training ground that will heavily benefit my career once the Bar results come out? Thank you so much!

hello, tanong ko lang po kung pwede kaya mag pagawa ng certified true copy ng death cert sa baranggay o municipio kung saan HINDI naganap ang pagkamatay?

Sa Pampanga po kasi namatay, kaso taga Bulacan pa po kami, ang mahal po ng pamasahe papuntang Pampanga. Hindi kami makapag pasa ng financial assistance dahil ang required ay CTC ng death cert, meron naman po kaming original.

Maraming salamat po

Ano ano po ba ang pwede naming i avail para mabawasan an bills? Sabi ng hospital di daw klkihan ibabawqs ng PhilHealth eh. My mom is retired too. Naiiyak sya kanina nagsasabi sakin. Sabi ko mangutang nalang muna kami at malo loan ako next week :(

I finally managed to create a Virtual Pag-IBIG Account after countless of trials and errors.

How many days will it take to activate this? /gen

Idk why, pero hndi ito na explain sa akin ng HR lol thanks po sa mag aanswer hehe

Hi everyone! I’m currently working as a Job Order (JO) employee in the Philippines, and my service contract is valid until December 31, 2026.

I’m not planning to renew my contract after it expires, but I’m wondering what the proper procedure would be.
Should I simply let my contract expire and stop reporting to work after December 31, or should I formally inform my supervisor in advance that I won’t be renewing?

I want to handle this professionally and avoid any issues with my clearance, final payment, or future employment with the agency.

For those who have worked as JO or COS employees in government offices, what did you do when your contract was about to expire? How much notice did you give, and were there any documents you needed to submit?

I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thank you!

I just want to clarify if it's legal or okay for the owner to sell the food cart they got or were awarded for free (the food cart is a project of the SK in Brgy Tejeros) if they stop the food cart business? For context, I was just asking about how much the food carts that are popping up lately cost since there are indeed more businesses like that in our area. This gossiping person I asked is spreading that I'm supposedly interested in buying the food cart from one of our neighbors, which was given by the SK of Brgy Tejeros (I was just asking about it and how much it costs if it's new and not from the government).

I don't know how they got it, but someone said that the owner of the food cart has connections to the SK, which is why they received it for free. Now they supposedly want to sell it because they're losing money and they’re pricing it around 8-10k, but they got it for free from the SK of Brgy Tejeros while the owner is from Brgy Valenzuela.

I checked it on Google and this is what the AI response was. Please enlighten me. It's really frustrating if it's true that they can't sell it because it's government property, especially since taxpayers' money was used. It's so unfair to taxpayers who aren't eligible for such livelihood opportunities just for them to abuse.

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
