I went to collect my brother’s NBI clearance this afternoon. After handing over the paper to me, the lady in the counter asked me “Gusto niyo po ng lalagyan ma’am?” I quickly answered with a smile on my face “Yes, please…”
“P10 po”, she said.
Goodness! For a small sized brown envelope (half of an A4 size) they are charging P10?
Rewind. Few months ago, I had applied for my NBI clearance too. After I’m done with the thumbmarking, the “manong” in charged on that table handed me some wet tissues, I was so thankful and all smiling thinking he was so kind not to wait for me to ask for it. The smile on my face vanished when he asked for P10 for giving me 2 small packets of wet tissues.
P10 isn’t a big deal at all. I understand that the government needs funds too. But cmon! I think it is overcharging. Or am I just over reacting?
Anyway, bottom line is I got what I needed today.

I am happy to share my adventures as I walk through motherhood and have to do most things on my own while my husband works miles away from us. Turning my passion into a profitable venture is another thing.
Authoring and managing this personal blog developed my social media awareness over the years.
From being an ex-OFW to doing what I am good at in the comfort of my own home – while taking good care of my 3 wonderful kids, I hope that people see me as a great inspiration when it comes to pursuing my passion and turning it into a profitable venture.
A giant leap like this is such a challenging journey but indeed is rewarding. A few bumps along this whole journey did not stop me from being the best version of myself.
Hehehe 😀 Asa ka pa sa sistema ng Gobyerno natin..
