Filing renewal of PRC ID at PRC office in Mandaue, SUCCESS

7/14/2015

Thank God my 2nd attempt to renew my PRC ID is a success. I arrived at HVG Arcade Subangdaku Mandaue City at 6:00 a.m. and there were already about 70 people waiting in line. Taxi ride was P85.50. But I wasnt worried, since most of them are filing for upcoming exams. The worst thing is just the waiting. So I just talked to the people beside me. I guess I was the only one wearing a corporate attire Ha Ha. At 7:15 a.m. the guards opened the door but we had to wait again since office starts at 8:00 a.m. They made me fill up a slip form for renewal. When the lady in charge arrived, I was the first person to give my papers. After a 5 minute wait, she gave me a printed form. Checked  the entries and spelling for errors, Affixed my Signature then went to the cashier to pay. No numbers were released so I just went to the window and submitted my payment. The whole thing lasted about 10 minutes. Fee is P450.00

Release of my PRC ID will be on July 23. I'm so excited.

Update: SUCCESS!

Got my ID on July 23, 2015 at past 1 p.m.  Printing of ID is done upon claiming of ID. There were lots of people lining at the cashier. Good thing I filed my renewal so early in the morning.

I'll be back on Aug 2018.

My Attempts to File for Renewal for PRC ID at SM Cebu. FAILURE

7/13/205

I'm writing this down to inform any professionals out there trying to renew their PRC licenses at SM Malls.

First of all, ever since I heard that PRC Cebu is transferring to Mandaue, I've made my decision to try to renew my PRC license at SM Cebu. This was a year ago. I dropped by SM to familiarize myself with the location first.
My prc license will expire on Aug 12 2015 so I went to SM on July 9 2015 to inquire about the requirements. Unfortunately, the computers were off-line so I just noted down the requirements.

First of all, you need to wear a formal attire. A corporate attire with collar will do.

1. Fill up 1 copy of the request form. They didnt accept my dowloaded form
2. Original and photocopy (back to back) of PRC ID
3. 1 passport size colored picture with complete name tag (not digital, meaning bring bondpaper with your name written at the ID picture shop. I went to Ayala Center, near DigiHub)
4. Payment
On saturday, July 10 I went to SM wearing my best corporate suit and brought my requirements.
Unfortunately (again) I was informed that they cannot enter my request in the system since my PRC license has not yet expired.  A big BOOOO!!! I didnt see that in the PRC site and even from other blogs.  I had to go home and change to a more comfortable apparel.

Tomorrow , my adventure with PRC starts again at Subangdaku, Mandaue City.  Reminder to myself, bring paste and liquid eraser.

I shall write down what happened after tomorrow. I pray it will be a successful day. Good luck to me.

3rd Run for the Rivers

June is fully booked with Fun Runs every Sunday. Last June 28, I joined 10k for Run for the Rivers.
Time: 1 hr 34 Minutes
Venue: SM Parking Lot
Weather: Nice weather.
Comments: Started late.

The first Run for the Rivers is memorable for me because its my first 21k. The cutoff time was 3 hrs and I went over. I almost got lost and by the time I arrived, they already dismantled the start/finish line. I had to beg the lady to give me my the finishers medal. Hence the reason  I joined only the 10k. For the love of the Rivers of  Cebu .
