NBI - clearances: more trouble-free
Even being on leave for several days and again in near future, I would like to thank many readers of this blog providing me with a lot of emails. One important thing I would like to mention today:
YES, three months from now, as a press release says, renewing NBI (National Bureau of Investigation) clearances will be trouble-free through the “Clerance Renewal Card” (CRC) and the installation of the automated clearance machine (ACM).
To be installed this July 2008, the ACM will give applicants a more efficient way of renewing their clearances since it operated like an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) used by banks.
NBI Regional Director Romulo Manapsal stressed during the launching in Victoria Plaza Mall here in Davao City
The system was conceptualized to avoid identity theft and reduce long queues of NBI clearance applicants, to be seen even inside Victoria Plaza Mall. The CRC will eliminate the problem faced by many apllicants who have the same name.
Regarding Davao City: before using the ACM, an applicant will need a CRC, which is now availabe at the Victoria Plaza Mall Kiosk of the NBI here in Davao City for 120 PHP. it can be processed in a couple of minutes and can be used for up to a life-time as long as it is cared for.
Readers of this blog might share with us their experiences in other Philippine towns.

Hi Klaus: Thank you for this. I’ve already gotten my Clearance Renewal Card in Manila. What I don’t know, and I hope readers can help clear this up, if this is valid for when I attempt to renew in, say, Davao.
But you’re right. Much speedier processing! It doesn’t even take five minutes!
Cheers!

Hi Klaus-
(off topic)
Thank you for a “troube free” advice off line, I appreciate your prompt reply. Wish to reciprocate this advice when I visit the Phils with you and your lovely family. I’m moving on forward with it, nicely. Thanks!

Hi Migs, as I learned, this NBI card is valid for the whole Philippines, but as we all know, there are always exemptions. THANKS for stopping by…
Hi Marcelina, you are very welcome. I am also looking forward to meet you and your family one day. I wish you good luck for all your publishing dreams. in my own experiences it’s very difficult at the beginning. But once it’s moving, everything is going automatically. And, print publishing is of course different then internet publishing. I still love to do both and I am blessed being able to tie up some more connections during the last two weeks. I am happy to help you. Take care. God bless.
