Order NSO certificates online

I have recently tried NSO's ordering system which was the nsohelpline.com. This system aims for convenience and for those citizens who are a busybee. This in fact delivers our certificates at our doorsteps. However, the downside was that it costs more than what is normally charge. 

For this transaction, I have ordered a copy of NSO certified marriage certificate which cost me Php 350 compared to what is normally charge of Php 140 plus say Php 20 charge if we ever get it from SM. 

The rates from NSOhelpline (http://www.nsohelpline.com/) are inclusive of processing and delivery fee. Birth certificates, marriage certificates and death certificates costs at Php 350 per copy while CENOMAR costs at Php 450 per copy. 

Payments can be via bancnet online, any metrobank branch, bancnet atm or selected bayad centers nationwide. 

Delivery is usually within 2 - 3 working days upon receipt of payment. I got my marriage certificate on the 2nd working day via Air21.

Hapsay Dalan Pilot Project

The hapsay dalan project piloted today. RTA personnel are all over dvsoria for this project. 

New rules were implemented to a more discipline and peaceful road traffic. Citizens should abide and use pedestrians to avoid penalty of Php 500 or community service and designated boxes for parking (yellow box) and no parking rules. 

The pictures below were grabbed from a Jose Edgardo Uy's facebook account. 

    Pedestrian lane with signage on the sides. Proper info dessimination. 

   Those probably needs to pay and opted for community service. 

    Task force hapsay dalan info dessimination. 

    There are still those who respect and follow the rules. 

Kudos! This is to a more disciplined kagay-anons!!! 

God bless us!

Boyong's New Variant

Finally, my most awaited variant of Boyong's. I present to you Boyong's spicy special sauteed shrimp paste in short spicy 'bagoong' with pork. 

I am a spicy person and love to eat bagoong with anything that is fried or sourly taste. This makes me eat a lot than my normal intake. This is sinful!

Oh well! This is only in Cagayan de Oro so I brought two in Olongapo since my husband and I will be staying here for quite sometime. 

This is the 2nd bottle brought here. ^____^
