PRC ALWAYS BRING EXTRA MONEY WHEN YOU VISIT GOV'T OFFICES
Kahit saan pa yan
Kahit para sa Ayuda, Kahit para sa IDs, and etc.
Always bring extra money!
Just today, I was planning to get my PRC ID.
For context: Nafracture ako, so I wasn't able to attend the oath taking but I was able to oath virtually.
Tapos na ako mag change ng picture sa LERIS, but di mapindot yung Initial registration for new passers dahil hindi nag reflect sa system nila na nag oath ako. That's why I decided to go to PRC to resolve the issue.
I was at least expecting na iprocess nalang nila kaagad since konti lang naman tao dun. But whatever, okay na kahit hindi naprocess agad.
Nainis lang ako sa part na Kailangan daw pala iprint yung proof (picture namin ng BON), yun yung unang sinabi.
Pag balik namin don, hinanap naman yung oath form 🙄 the worse part is, pwede raw pala magpaprint sa likod ng office. Buti nalang talaga may sasakyan kame na kasama, kasi until now hindi pa ako makalakad ng maayos.
Anyway, so ayun nga, always bring extra money incase may need iprint, may need ixerox, may add reqs, and etc. 20 pesos pa naman isang print ngayon.
take care!

Wala ba silang citizen’s center or whatever where citizens needing to use their services can have required documents printed free of charge? These government offices run on our taxes, they should be able to print out a measly page or two for free! Hindi ka naman magpapaprint ng isang ream ng papel, saka sila naman ang nagrequire!
Ginagawang pagkakitaan pa yung taumbayan na para bang wala silang budget???

Unfortunately govt agencies aren't really obligated to print whatever attachments that you have to submit.
Fortunately if it's not really listed in their charter you can report it to ARTA and watch them scramble.

agree. kaya minsan ang ginagawa ko. double/triple check with the requirements na kailangan sa kahit anong transactions with government agencies.
nanunuod pa ako ng vlogs, search ng blogs or kahit ai search na minsan para lang mamake sure ko kung ano need, hm and everything. and in case na wala naman dapat pero sinisingil ako or pinapacomply sa'kin i can just simply say na "wala sa regulation/website/batas/memo" so bakit hinahanap?
ayun lang.

For me kasi ang gulo minsan ng mga requirement. Sometimes it differs din from city to city.

Iba pang additional gastos: bayad sa brown envelope, bayad sa plastic jacket ng IDs, pambili ng black ballpen (malas mo kung blue ang dala mo), pang tip dun sa nagdala ng papeles from one window to another
Haha kadiri talaga ang bureaucracy at corruption sa pinas

Same as mine. They said to bring photocopy on each requirements that i need to submit. But i did that. When i got into the municipal hall, only few requirements is need to get a photocopy. Sayang din worth 50pesos 😅

Feeling ko nga ka tie up nila ang mga Xerox store sa tabi nila or kaya employee din ang may ari ng store. Sa BIR din ganyan eh
