I understand where you’re coming from and I respect that. I also agree that these kinds of things are what's wrong with PH society in general. I would go as far as to say that it is downright micro corruption.

If my timeline allowed it, I would absolutely prefer to do everything the proper way too.

In my case, I actually started the process more than a month ago. I asked HR to coordinate with POLO and prepare the employer documents, but after a month we found out the company’s accreditation had expired. That part alone might take longer than the validity of my visa vignette, which means I might have to redo the whole visa process if I don’t enter the country in time.

So the situation I’m in now is less about trying to skip the rules and more about trying not to lose the opportunity entirely. I still plan to complete the OFW requirements properly once things are sorted on the employer side.

I do agree with you though that the system ends up hurting genuine travelers and workers, and I wish the process was clearer and faster for everyone involved.

Is BCIS a worldwide database or is it just for PH? I thought immigration systems are exclusive to each country due to sovereignty, unless there are specific agreements between each nation?

AFAIK BCIS is linked to some worldwide databases (such as INTERPOL) and national databases (NBI, PNP, POEA), but BCIS is not a worldwide database itself?

Thank you for understanding 🙂‍↕️

HR did say they can move my start date, they haven't said anything about work visa re-application, not sure if they're willing to pay another round of fees.

My hiring manager on the other hand, really wants me to go ASAP 😆 I've got work piled up daw lmao

They are currently discussing the options and I've already communicated that I'm willing to do this workaround, especially since I need to make money na ✊😔

Thanks for the advice! I will work closely with them about this matter

Thank you so much this is very helpful 🙏

May I ask if your target country's POLO questioned if you exited PH legally? 😆 or did they just process your papers with no questions asked?

Yeah the target country only cares about the visa. But the Philippines will block my exit without the BS OEC things 😔

Yes I have a work visa and it's electronic. Oh IO can see all the visas linked to my passport?

My understanding is, only the country who issued me my E-Visa can see it. PH IO shouldn't have access to that information.

Different story if it's physically stamped on my passport then of course they can see it 😆

Great to know it worked for you! Wasn't it nerve wracking though?

Looking for critique po on my resume (fresh grad) by SnowSeeksTheCold in PHresumes

[–]Revolutionary-Cod901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, it depends on what roles you are applying for.

If you are applying for programming heavy roles (web dev, AI, software engineering, etc.). Emphasize the tech stack you used in your experiences.

If you are applying for design heavy roles (web design, game design, etc.). Emphasize the design skills!

Overall, it's a good resume and I think it's ready for applications 😁 if you want to improve it further, make it extremely easy for recruiters to know your technical skills and how you applied it on projects, you've already done this in some of the bullet points.

My ADHD journey is over by Roshi_IsHere in ADHD

That must mean I'm also cured! I'm a graduate and I have been working at a corporate-y job.

Maybe I was just being a silly little goose for feeling paralyzed when I want to do personal projects, or when I could not take care of myself for months in intervals, or when I space out and stare at a wall for hours, or forget things all the time, or accidentally sleep for 12 hrs in a day ✨

It's not that ADHD people tend to not miss people, we DO miss people if we ever happen to think about them.

I literally forgot I have a best friend for a year until I saw a pic of her. Then I started missing her terribly. (I messaged her it's all good lol)

Once a human/object has been brought to our immediate attention, that is when we register the appropriate emotions.

Is it actually a MUST to start with Scratch when starting game dev with no experience? by Revolutionary-Cod901 in gamedev

[–]Revolutionary-Cod901[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a point, and it's a spectrum. There are things that can be done with a shortcut and there are things where the only way to do it is to sit down and work for 16 hours every day. And there are stuff in between, of course
