thanks for the reply Terpe!

yes, I'm already completing the documents. our in-house company travel agency (amex tours) is helping me.

I'll just be there on vacation. I already looked into Campanille hotel. yes, I already have bank statements and certificates. I plan to stay there for a month but I think my boss will only approve a 2-week leave. I work at the r&d dept of Johnson & Johnson here in Manila. I would need to go home after max of 1 month as my work will definitely pile up.

I will stay at Campanille for a few days then I need a transient house or room to stay as that would be cheaper.
