I've never had any problems with Filipino food. The **fish caught fresh right off the beach** was seriously the best I've ever had, including at high-end restaurants in North America and Europe. Healthy, fresh food -> sinigang, chicken tinola, pinakbet, etc. Local food -> sisig, lechon, adobo, kare-kare, etc. are all good. Common fast food -> Mang Inasal, Jollibee, McDonald's, and Chowking are decent. There are plenty of more upscale restaurants in big cities. There's everything from very healthy food to less healthy fast food.

Apply for free through the Philippine government (DSWD) Since you are currently in the Philippines, you can use the official cross-border system set up between the two countries. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) acts as the central authority in the Philippines for these international claims. • How it works: When you submit a child support application to the DSWD, they handle legal review and document collection together with the University of the Philippines (UP) Legal Clinic. • Process: The DSWD sends the case directly to the U.S. Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSS). The U.S. government then forwards it to the child support agency in the state where the father lives. • Paternity testing: If the father requests a paternity test, the U.S. state child support agency handles the legal process to order a DNA test. If he refuses, a U.S. court can legally enforce it. • Cost: Since it is a government-supported legal system, it is free or very low cost.

It's an old code, but you're right, sir.

I started peeing in the sink and brushing my teeth with that pee.

Book directly with the airline. If something goes wrong, it's easier to call them right away. Third-party agencies often aren't open 24 hours, so it can be hard to get through to them. I've had bad experiences with travel agencies and online booking sites, so I always book directly. When you book directly, the airline also notifies you immediately by email or text about delays, cancellations, upgrades, and so on.

John "Has a Plan" Smith. His plans work about 60% of the time. Templeton "Fairly Decent" Peck. Occasionally talks his way into a discount on travel. H.M. "Mildly Annoyed" Murdock. Has a pilot's license, currently suspended. C+ Baracus. Pities fools, but only after talking to HR and dealing with his own feelings first. It's really satisfying when a plan comes together... well, at least nobody died.

If you're taking jobs locals could do, you won't find work. To get a work visa here, the employer has to prove they can't find the talent they need in the local job market. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you shouldn't come or stay here to look for local jobs.

Honestly, it would be better to just fly over to Singapore and get it fixed there. It'll cost a bit more, but it's basically a mini trip, and you can be confident Apple will fix it properly.

Why is that ASUS router just lying on the floor with its plug pulled out?

No, foreigners who only have Balikbayan privileges are not eligible to enroll in PhilHealth under their own name. According to PhilHealth Circular 2017-0003, foreigners can enroll in the informal economy category only if they have a long-term stay visa such as the SRRV (Special Resident Retiree's Visa), or a valid Alien Certificate of Registration (ACR I-Card) tied to a long-term immigrant, non-immigrant, or work visa.

I always go to the office. Nothing beats doing it face to face.

As a software engineer, I miss the spark too.

You can find the firewall and its specifications in the building code.. You can download it from the government portal.. (Sorry, but you'll have to look it up yourself) ... Unless you're a builder, I sincerely recommend hiring an architect to make the design, get the permit, and even supervise construction. Look at the projects that architect has done and see if they match what you want.. It's worth the money..

They didn't need to include your face lol

This princess is very well known for being a quirky girl. 😊 This is Aspen, an Alaskan Malamute!

Without a SIM it just doesn't work... that's it. Isn't that obvious?

On my first B.I. visit I wrote the arrival flight number. That's the only thing they ask for. Once you pass immigration, I never worry about the return flight info.

That's me on planes. I have a bowel issue, so it takes me less than 5 seconds to go from "I'm fine" to "I need to go right now," which is why I always grab an aisle seat.

It depends on which BI office you go to. If you edit your post and write the BI office name or location, you'll probably get a better answer.

The problem with condos or high-rise buildings is that if one unit gets infested, it spreads to other units too!
