Barangay, Police and NBI Clearances in Davao City

I was recently processing my pre-employment requirements for my new job. Barangay, Police and NBI clearances are the three basic clearances being requested for employment. While it’s ok to go directly to the offices where these clearances are being requested, it’s always an advantage to research first on the process and its prerequisites for smooth sailing applications. How to Get a Barangay Clearance I belong to barangay Matina so I got my barangay clearance from the Matina barangay hall located near Centerpoint Matina. You may look into this site for your barangay’s contact number for more info: http://www.davaocity.gov.ph/davao/district.aspx To get your barangay clearance, you must bring with you your Purok Clearance (to be issued by your purok leader) and Community Tax Certificate (also known as Cedula). After presenting these, you’ll have to log some basic info in their books and you will pay a fee for the issuance of the clearance. I only paid 25 pesos for this. They wil...

Getting a Health Certificate in Davao City

Image
Every person who is employed in any business establishment in Davao City is required to get a health certificate, also known as health card, from the City Health Office (CHO). From January to March this year, the CHO of Davao City has opened its satellite operations in the 2nd floor of Felcris Centrale Mall, fronting Land Transportation Office. CHO caters to a huge number of applications and renewals every day since it started last January. So expect a really long line if you come in later than 12 noon. Make sure to be in Felcris Centrale before the mall opens at 10am. Some people queue as early as 6-7am just so they could finish early or within the morning. Also, it's best to prepare the requirements ahead for a smooth application process. The requirements for a Health Certificate are as follows: 1.

#KaonSerye: Best Japanese Food in Davao

Image
Japanese restaurants in Davao City have sprouted sporadically for the past three years. Although it is no surprise as Davaoenos have retained many Japanese influences since the latter's occupation, it is only now that we have further explored our taste for the Japanese cuisine. For the past two years we've been together, Keen and I have tried almost each Japanese restaurant in the city. We've tried every gyoza, maki and ramen we can get our hands on. We've been to many minimalist, modern or high-end Japanese restaurants. We've also been satisfied and disappointed many times. With the many things we have tasted, we are confident enough to judge and identify which Japanese restaurant in Davao serves the best dish. Not all restaurants are perfect. Some have the best gyoza but has the most disappointing ramen, or vice versa. To be fair, we will only be comparing the dishes we have tried from each restaurant. Also, we will be judging not only the taste, but the servi...
