bugsybee, in fairness the Embassy folks are not always as vile as I made out. Of course there are shining stars, too. But the red tape is ever present.

pining, are you going to vote? I enrolled for the postal ballot, but since Royal Mail is always on strike… hehe

When I listen to abused Filipinos who run to the Philippine embassy but get shabby treatment there, aaargh! I hate to disappoint Rowena but the truth is even if you report these guys to the DFA here, you'll not get any action - remember that news about the domestic helper of a consul (?) who was abused? Walang nangyari even if it was reported in the news. They investigated and then poof! Nothing.<br/><br/>About the "security questions" -yesterday I forgot my password that enables me to do online banking and that's exactly what happened - the first operator asked me 3 or 4 security questions only to tell me that she has to pass me on to another "banking officer" (after waiting for about 3 or 5 minutes) who asked me about 5 or 6 more questions and then had me wait for about 10 minutes. Aaaargh! I know these are control measures but isn't there a better way? Hi Auee!

Naku dapat sa mga tamad na empleyado ng embassy sinusumbong dito sa DFA para mapalitan kagad...Remind them tayo nagpapasweldo sa kanila. HMP!
