What To Do If Your PSA Birth Certificate Yield “Negative Intact” Or Your NBI Yield A “Hit” Result

Aside from Philippine passport from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the birth certificate issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the NBI clearance from National Bureau Of Investigation (NBI) are among the important documents you need to secure if you are applying for an overseas job. Every aspiring overseas Filipino worker (OFW) has to obtain these documents. But what if you encounter a situation like having a "hit" on your NBI clearance or a "negative intact" on your PSA birth certificate while applying for these requirements?


Aside from Philippine passport from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the birth certificate issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the NBI clearance from National Bureau Of Investigation (NBI) are among the important documents you need to secure if you are applying for an overseas job. Every aspiring overseas Filipino worker (OFW) has to obtain these documents. But what if you encounter a situation like having a "hit" on your NBI clearance or a "negative intact" on your PSA birth certificate while applying for these requirements?        Advertisement      “HIT” is the term used by NBI Clearance Outlets if the applicant has a similar name and requires their NBI Clearance to do further verification before it is released to its owner.   If a HIT appears, NBI Personnel needs to verify the applicant’s identity further. Applicants are instructed to come back 8-10 working days to claim their NBI Clearance.  When you got a "hit" in applying for an NBI clearance. Do not Panic!     Here is what you need to do:   —If you know that you don’t have any criminal record, no need to worry about it.  —Wait for the date of release of your NBI Clearance as directed by the officer. Come back and claim it to the branch where you applied for it.     —Come as early as possible on the day of the assigned date of release of your NBI Clearance.        Ads   When  applying for PSA birth certificate and you got a result which says  "negative intact", you may do the following:    —Check with your local civil registrar where the birth has taken place if you have an existing record of your NSO certificate.   —If you have a record, ask the local civil registrar to endorse your NSO certificate record to PSA.   —If there is no existing record with the local civil registrar, you will need to file for late registration.   —If you have already secured a PSA copy, you can proceed and request your PSA certificate.

We should take good care of it. It is not easy to acquire one, especially when even getting an online appointment is like passing through a needle hole although there is a special courtesy lane for OFWs which do not require an online appointment. After securing an appointment, you need to go through DFA passport processing and submit the needed documents.  The new electronic passport (E-passport) validity was extended to so you will be working with it for ten years unless the pages are already full of stamps. In that case, you may need to apply for a new one.        Advertisement  There are things that we should not do with our passport. Taking care of it has to be a way of life.    Do Not Abandon it You are given a maximum of six months to claim it or have it delivered to you, after applying for your Philippine passport. All unclaimed passports beyond that period are canceled automatically in compliance to Department Order No. 37-03. You would just be wasting time and money going through the process of preparing your documents, the actual application and paying for it if you would just abandon it.    Keep it out of children's reach!  A Chinese man was put on hold in Korea after his kid doodled on his passport. The man was preparing to go back to China when he found out that he had made a huge mistake by leaving his passport with his son who treated his passport as a sketchbook. If you let them vandalize your passport, it is not their fault.  Any unauthorized sketches and signature could render your passport invalid for travel.    Do Not Lose it When traveling regard your valid passport as the most essential thing which should be on top of your checklist together with your credit card, cash, and clothes.  immediately report the loss of your passport to the Consular Records Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) if you’re in the Philippines, or any Philippine consulate or embassy closest to you if you are abroad. You’ll need to submit documents like an Affidavit of Loss and Police Report if your passport is still valid, and a photocopy of its first and last pages if available.        Advertisement     Do Not Deface It Another case that would render your passport invalid is getting it damaged, whether by getting wet, having a torn page or sustaining a hole and other markings. In this case, you may need to apply for a new for a passport with a notarized Affidavit of Mutilation attached. You also need to submit a photocopy of the first and last pages of your passport.    Do Not Paste or staple anything on it Do not paste or staple anything on the cover of your passport that may damage the electronic chip on it, or paste/staple printed visas and any stickers on its pages.       Do not pawn or use it as a collateral   A common practice used by Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW), although it is illegal, are passports being used as a loan collateral. Passports are government property and not your own. If you get caught using your passport to loan money from any individual, you can get your travel document canceled and it may affect your next passport applications.

The suspect asked the OFW to give him Php50,000 for the agreement that he will not upload the OFW's nude photos online.    National Bureau of Investigation (NBI)  operatives set up an entrapment operation in response to the complaint of OFW "Rhia", (real name withheld) in a restaurant and waited for the suspect Dexter Caminos.  After Rhia handed the money to Caminos, the NBI Cybercrime Division operatives moved quickly putting the suspect under arrest.  The suspect admitted that they were having a quarrel and that he receives allowances from the OFW. He also denied that he was blackmailing the OFW. The suspect also said that it was not extortion and the money is for their business.

Where And How To Invest In Stocks In The Philippines  Man Nabbed For "Sextortion" Of An OFW  Railways have been always proven as the main factor in determining and assuring the fast flow of commerce and trade for ages. The economy and financial progress of countries all over the world greatly depend on how fast they can transport commodities and services throughout the country and its neighbors.  Up to this present time, railways are still playing its great role in many progressive countries in different continents.  In the Philippines, Duterte administration’s Build Build Build program referred to as the “golden age of infrastructure”, started construction of the nation’s first subway system including a number of railway projects.        Advertisement   These projects include Philippine National Railways (PNR) North Rail, PNR South Rail, the Luzon Spine Expressway and Mindanao Rail. The Build Build Build projects which include all of these has an estimated cost of P3.6 trillion which is expected to raise the contribution of infrastructure spending to GDP (gross domestic product) from 5.4 % in 2017 to 7.4% in 2022.    PNR North Rail, which will spend about P225 million, extending to 100 kilometers connecting Manila’s Tutuban Station to Pampanga’s Clark International Airport. The Tutuban-Clark journey that will last for about 55 minutes is expected to service around 35,000 passengers everyday.    PNR South Rail, which will connect Manila with the Bicol region, will be made of two stretches. The first stretch, from Manila to Los Banos - a distance of 75kms – will be able to accommodate up to 400,000 passengers daily upon its completion in 2022.      The Luzon Spine Expressway is a more ambitious undertaking, for it will start in La Union and end in the Bicol region. It will encompass road projects that are already underway – including the project that will link NLEX (the North Luzon Expressway)and SLEX (the South Luzon Expressway). When the Luzon Spine Expressway is completed, travel time between La Union and the Bicol region will be reduced to under 12 hours.    Ads     Mindanao Rail will be a colossal project. For one thing, there is the distance that it will cover: the 2,000 miles between Tagum and the cities of Davao and Digos. For another, there is the project’s price tag: P32 billion. Expected to be completed in 2021, Mindanao Rail will be able to carry 117,000 passengers daily. The travel time between Tagum and Digos will be reduced to just an hour.    These railways and road projects are ambitious but they will do much to increase for the economic development in their coverage areas. Mindanao Rail, in particular, is set to operate in an area that badly needs boosting economic activities.     Ads  However, it's completion target which is expected by 2021is nearly impossible and ambitious.   Will the Build Build Build program be able to beat their due date?     Only four years left in President Duterte’s term. Will the next president carry on with these projects? That is the big question now.

Where And How To Invest In Stocks In The Philippines  Man Nabbed For "Sextortion" Of An OFW  Railways have been always proven as the main factor in determining and assuring the fast flow of commerce and trade for ages. The economy and financial progress of countries all over the world greatly depend on how fast they can transport commodities and services throughout the country and its neighbors.  Up to this present time, railways are still playing its great role in many progressive countries in different continents.  In the Philippines, Duterte administration’s Build Build Build program referred to as the “golden age of infrastructure”, started construction of the nation’s first subway system including a number of railway projects.        Advertisement   These projects include Philippine National Railways (PNR) North Rail, PNR South Rail, the Luzon Spine Expressway and Mindanao Rail. The Build Build Build projects which include all of these has an estimated cost of P3.6 trillion which is expected to raise the contribution of infrastructure spending to GDP (gross domestic product) from 5.4 % in 2017 to 7.4% in 2022.    PNR North Rail, which will spend about P225 million, extending to 100 kilometers connecting Manila’s Tutuban Station to Pampanga’s Clark International Airport. The Tutuban-Clark journey that will last for about 55 minutes is expected to service around 35,000 passengers everyday.    PNR South Rail, which will connect Manila with the Bicol region, will be made of two stretches. The first stretch, from Manila to Los Banos - a distance of 75kms – will be able to accommodate up to 400,000 passengers daily upon its completion in 2022.      The Luzon Spine Expressway is a more ambitious undertaking, for it will start in La Union and end in the Bicol region. It will encompass road projects that are already underway – including the project that will link NLEX (the North Luzon Expressway)and SLEX (the South Luzon Expressway). When the Luzon Spine Expressway is completed, travel time between La Union and the Bicol region will be reduced to under 12 hours.    Ads     Mindanao Rail will be a colossal project. For one thing, there is the distance that it will cover: the 2,000 miles between Tagum and the cities of Davao and Digos. For another, there is the project’s price tag: P32 billion. Expected to be completed in 2021, Mindanao Rail will be able to carry 117,000 passengers daily. The travel time between Tagum and Digos will be reduced to just an hour.    These railways and road projects are ambitious but they will do much to increase for the economic development in their coverage areas. Mindanao Rail, in particular, is set to operate in an area that badly needs boosting economic activities.     Ads  However, it's completion target which is expected by 2021is nearly impossible and ambitious.   Will the Build Build Build program be able to beat their due date?     Only four years left in President Duterte’s term. Will the next president carry on with these projects? That is the big question now.
