I noticed that Postal ID is now being honored in almost all the important transactions here so I went this morning to apply for one. I actually went to inquire and applied for the same around 3 months ago but my photos were rejected coz I was wearing my eyeglasses. Yesterday, I got the chance to take a new one minus the eyeglasses and made enough copies in different sizes for future use. When I reached the Post Office counter, no one seemed to notice that there’s a customer waiting for their assistance until I said “Excuse me, I would like to apply for a Postal ID”, to think they were just plainly chatting about w-h-a-t-e-v-e-r! Then only she paid attention and handed me the form. Mind you they won’t even look at your face! Duh! I didn’t realize that they now require “cedula” and that the filled up form has to be notarized. I then left the Post Office and went to our Barangay Office to get the cedula and clearance. I really appreciate the office clerk in the Barangay Office who helped and gave me detailed information on where to have the form notarized and what to do next so I won’t need to ask those clerks in the Post Office. Hmp! I wish and hope that someone from the said office is reading right now, so they’d know what they’re doing isn’t so right. As much as they do, we also want our works to be done. After going back and forth to the Post Office and Law Office twice, I finally got my Postal ID ready. It’s the first official ID I got where I used my married name. Woohoooooo! I’m no longer an alien in my own place teehee! By the way, here’s a breakdown of how much I’ve totally spent to get this ID:

Postal ID P220 Notary P100 Cedula/Barangay Clearance P58 Xerox (3 copies) P5 Tricycle (2 rides) P40 Jeep (2 rides) P8 Photo ID P65 Total P496
