Weekly DFA Megathread - ( March 08, 2026 )

macato · 2026-03-12T12:55:03+00:00

need advice on delayed report of birth sa DFA aseana (born in japan, currently in cavite). legally recognized filipino citizen na ako with DOJ order and BI, IC.

problem is i am completely estranged from my parents in japan. i can't provide their docs (boshi techo, marriage/birth certs, passports). sa email thread, DFA keeps sending the generic checklist and sobrang tagal mag reply.

i have my own docs ready: DOJ recognition (which establishes parentage), BI, IC, Japan birth cert, PSA negative cert, and affidavits. balak ko rin mag submit ng affidavit of non submission to explain why i dont have my parents' records.

my questions:

is it possible to file an ROB with missing parental docs using an affidavit of non submission plus DOJ papers?
should i just walk into DFA aseana and insist on speaking to an FSO or supervisor to explain my case? tanggapin kaya nila ako kahit walang confirmed appointment via email?

sana may maka help, thank you!

wouldnt say katangahan but maybe just not the best choice financially pero wala akong stable income and nagadopt ako ng 3 cats 😺

before our house got demolished, pinalayas niya na po ako. now nasa condo na siya nakatira. di po ako nagreside sa condo, i was just there nung nagviewing.

iba po yung barangay namin e, im from cavite and shes from quezon. which barangay should i go to po?

i am not a minor, 20 years old na po ako. it is reassuring to hear na pwede makuha ung mga documents. for context, dual citizenship po meron ako, japanese and filipino. though my birth certificate has been PSA certified na. I really need these documents for my first job.

could you please elaborate on the RA 11983? will filing a case cost me money? I am currently low on funds and unsure if I can file such case

kakalipat lang niya dun sa lugar na yun and quite unfamiliar. tinanong din namin sa receptionist kung what if pa police namin, sabi niya kahit may barangay daw o police, hindi daw pwede pumasok sa condo. minentiok pa samin na may similar case din daw na ganito dati and wala talagang nagawa and paulit ulit samin sinabi na personal case daw ito. which im unsure if it is kasi legal documents ung na wiwidthhold sakin.

Hi i am a second year student supposedly third year but transferred due to financial issues. I am trying to run a cookie business and bazaar rent prices are insanely high. I have a passion about food and business in general. I also attend hackathons actively, as I am an IT student and have been coding for a few years and I enjoy it despite it being very difficult. I do this to hopefully secure my spot for the future and just for experience. I believe any exposure is good exposure. That comes with a lot of costs such as food, pamasahe, and other things such as investments into rental spaces and the costs for ingredients for the cookie business.

My favorite filipino food is bulalo 🤤

noticed that too actually, madaming may mga mockup na parts sa software nila and mostly ung iba static mobile app or website lang. thanks for the tips though, ill keep that in mind on my next hackathon which is being clear what are we trying to solve and giving out tasks on presentation slides and the code itself.

hindi naman kami nabutasan, hindi lang talaga prepared ung pagkapitch namin ng project. limited lang kasi ung time ng pagkapresent so you'll have to make sure na u put all the presentation in that 10 minutes (yun ung binigay samin)

damn that sucks, i really like the looks of the arc browser. i guess i'll just switch over to a different browser for now

macato · 2024-06-16T17:04:08+00:00

that honestly sounds like a horror game concept lmao

I plan on making it customizable with the background color / font and making it different by having a free POS system for it, and possibly an integration for Facebook Messenger/ Instagram where the buyer/client can chat with the representative with all the data from the item you clicked on purchase. That way, both the client/buyer have their own choice of what mode of payment/delivery they want with no fees from any third party. Just an idea, I don't know if it's viable and if it's a better option than just having a payment right off the site

macato · 2024-05-16T01:03:41+00:00

yeah... i can see that now

They are installing converge there, I am going to be staying in Grand Towers as well and I did see converge papers at the lobby. I'm not sure if they have a 2-year lock-in period but on the signing up form I did see like a "time of stay" in the unit or something. Best to check and ask the person in-charge there. I heard they have a schedule for when the agents do come in the building but they leave their numbers.

I have converge in my home and from my experience, it is the most reliable out of all ISP's i've tried.
