Actually, this place is DUE a big one; once it comes, expect some serious damage around here. They don't build to any real standard from what I've observed, some places better than others. I shudder to think of the prospects.PhilippinesPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15921214743105919057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18348841.post-70432276489258144242010-03-26T00:21:47.642+11:002010-03-26T00:21:47.642+11:00Phil, did you feel that earthquake yesterday?

...Sorry your initial experience was so unpleasant.<br /><br />I've never served in Manila so I can't speak to how they handle their workload. Personally, I find the Amcit services part of consular work to be usually the most pleasant and rewarding, although you sometimes have to deliver bad news.<br /><br />The two parent signature requirement is relatively new.
