But my being brat comes again,i said" i keep reading the requirement 20x and it didn't say there that u need mother's PP for applying kids visa,so preparing this for a week and all the way from rizal province,all this sort of.......just useless" ( i told them that words exactly)
So they asked me to go to their supervisor,i give her the same reason,she look so strict but i insist my reason,so the supervisor asked me to go to Director's office for approval,I am fed up of them
And made a deal saying"OK process it and put a note there on releasing section that don't give me the PP of my kids once release if i didn't show my PP"
At the end,they allow me on the remarks says"OK TO PROCESS,HOWEVER NEED TO SHOW MOTHER PP ONCE RELEASE "


Fair enough !!!!! at least i won,


Thats clever girl!

I remember when I renewed my passport, they asked me to show them at least 3 ID`s so I show her 3 ID`s , but she was not satisfied with those ID`s and ask me more ID`s. And said, that if I can not produce more valid ID I will then need to go back the next day. " What??!!! After that miles lonnnng queue for 2 hours standing outside the building!!!
So I told her that, I am just going to renew my passport, Im not a new applicant, I have here my old passport with several visas for other countries which two of those are UK visas and theres also my picture in that visa. Do you think the UK Embassy will issue me a visa if this passport is not genuine?" Also I told her that with that old passport, I have been in and out of the country for more than ten times, you can see all the Immigration stamps, I did not have any problem or been questioned by the Immigration control."
then the girl raise her eyebrow and said
" you talk too much miss"
and she gave back to me all the ID`s and ask me to pay and thats it.

Sometimes, we must really show them that we are not idiot like what they think. They are just trying to make one`s life harder. It is insulting when you showing your Identity card and seems they do not believe its genuine.
