Thanks for the reply, Pauldo - it's confirmed some of my thoughts. And Filipino time is something I am still trying to get used to! Most of the clocks in Tagbilaran seem to be +10 mins for some unknown reason! Most... but not all
I'll not be able to get back to Phil for my fiancee's interview as I have only just got back from my visit there, but she is OK about getting to Manila with an aunt who knows the place. And I have confidence in her "mindset" regarding the interview, though I think anyone is likely to feel nervous and intimidated at such an important event? How should she address the interrogator...oops... interviewer? Use sir/madam? Does she need to show confidence or deference? I really feel for her, having to go through this ordeal... I just wish I could do the interview for her... Anyway, hope for the best and plan for the worst
Ivor
