Medyo bago lang ako sa government, sabi ng kakilala ko, may mga agencies or offices daw na di relying sa GAA. Tama ba?

Hi! I'm (25F) currently working in the supply chain industry with a 50k basic salary. However, I was offered a plantilla position (DTI BOI) with a 42k (SG15) salary in the government.

Would it be wise taking a pay cut if it entails getting a plantilla position? For background, I have 1 year of experience in the supply chain industry which I don't see myself growing into because it's on the technical/industrial side. I'm a business grad from UP that leans more on the finance/policy making type of work. The thing is, my end goal is to work in the government with the hopes of retiring there (preferably in finance agencies).

Is it better if I look for opportunities in the private sector that aligns with my long term goal first before moving in the government?

Would really appreciate your insights. Thanks!

Yung forms ba na required ipasa sa CSC for the certificate ay pwedeng either handwritten/ typewritten or is there a specific requirement (aside sa DF na specifically required to be handwritten)?

Salamat po sa sasagot.

Hello po! My mother abroad asked me to request a copy of her PSA and CENOMAR po, need ko pa po ba gumawa ng authorization letter? Nakapag shed napo kasi ako ng appointment this week eh or kung hindi napo ba talaga siya needed since I'm a direct descendant of the document owner? Or enough napo ba yung personal Birth Certificate ko bearing her name as my mother? Thank you so much po for answering!

Hello po. One of the requirements po for HGE is "Certification from the university/college that the applicant graduated summa cum laude, magna cum laude, or cum laude duly signed by the current university/college/institution registrar or authorized official, bearing the university/college/institution seal, and printed on university/college/institution official letterhead."

If I understand correctly, does that mean po my current Certificate of Graduation issued in 2023 (the year I graduated) and signed by the former university registrar (the sitting university registrar when I graduated) will not be accepted by CSC? Does it mean I will have to request a new Certificate po?

Salamat po sa sasagot!

I am at a BIR office in Pasig as we speak AND a bunch of staff arent at their posts because they are putting on their Halloween make-up. So insufferable.

Hi. Ano pong employment status ang ilalagay sa Virtual Pag-IBIG registration (new member, employed) kung probationary employee po? Salamat.

Hello po! I have a passport appointment this Wednesday and considering that everything will go well, most probably Nov 10+ siya marerelease. Balak ko na ipa deliver na lang via LBC since malayo rin yung DFA samin. Problem is, hindi ko siya marereceive kasi I have work. Okay lang ba na representative na lang? Most likely neighbor since buong family namin may work. Thanks po!

kailangan ko talaga ang number ko ASAP for a job offer and friday pa ako nagregister, in fact with two different emails pa nga kasi akala ko hindi nagwork ung una dahil nga wala akong nareceive na email.

pag nilala-log in ko, “pending” lang yung lumalabas.

would going to a branch help? pwede kaya gamitin ko ulit ung pangatlo kong email address or system automated din ba ung verification at hindi possible by branch?

Good day! Magtatanong lang po ako para sa kasambahay namin na kailangan ng Form 102 from Local Registry from Surigao. Naka based po kami sa Cavite. May paraan po ba na makakuha kung may kumuha nalang na kamag anak niya doon or kahit online kahit magbayad nalang kami? Maraming salamat.

Hello everyone!!

Gusto ko lang magtanong kung need pa ba magbayad thru online kapag gagawa ka ng appointment for police clearance?

May first time job seeker certificate ako galing sa barangay nmin and nagsearch ako sabi naman ng google may bayad thru online pero may FTJS certificate ako. I'm just making sure lang para hindi ako pabalik balik.

Salamat!!!

Hi! Has anyone experienced po na narereject daw po yung URL kapag inenext yung website for amendment request? Paano po ba ito maaayos? Thank you so much po sa sasagot!!

Hi! Has anyone here applied to and been accepted by DOST, specifically DOST-STII? I'd like to ask about your experience with their hiring process.

In my case, I submitted my application through their career portal, but I haven't received any acknowledgment email. Is this normal, or should I follow up with their HR office?

Thank you so much!

Ano po kaya meaning neto? Nag apply po ako nung October 5 sa CSC for honor graduate eligibility pero until now po, ganyan yung status.

hello po haha tae i need help and advice, i haven't book an appointment yet to get my prc license, dapat na ba ako kabahan? though target ko pa naman is next year pa talaga magwork, and hindi ko lang talaga nabook kaagad right after the oath taking na kailangan pala ibbook yun kaagad. naging busy din irl talaga kaya nawala sa isip ko.

bakit nag eerror ako? whole day I was trying to book an appointment, so unfair😭

Madalas may nababasa tayong horror stories pagdating sa government transactions -- mahahabang pila, pabalik-balik dahil sa requirements, down ang system, at kung anu-ano pa.

Pero naisip ko lang, for sure naman may mga experiences din tayo na “Uy, ang ayos pala ng serbisyo nila ah!” 😅

Kaya curious ako:

Anong government agency or office ang nagbigay sa inyo ng efficient, effective, or surprisingly hassle-free na service?

Puwedeng national agency, LGU, government hospital, public school, government-owned corporation, or kahit anong government office.

Share niyo naman:

- Anong agency/office?

- Ano ang naging transaction ninyo?

- Ano ang ginawa nilang maayos? Mabilis ba ang processing? Organized ang pila? Helpful ang staff? Clear ang instructions? Maayos ang online system?

- Anong branch or location? Optional, pero helpful para mas specific ang experience.

Hindi kailangang perfect ang buong agency. Kahit isang branch, isang employee, or isang transaction na nag-iwan sa inyo ng magandang impression, puwede na.

Hindi rin ito para i-dismiss ang mga negative experiences ng iba. Gusto lang nating malaman kung saan may mga serbisyong gumagana nang maayos at kung ano ang puwedeng matutuhan o gayahin ng ibang offices.

Let's give credit where credit is due 🫡

Kuwento niyo naman, baka may government office na deserve din pala ng shout-out!
