This blog is about the facts on getting NBI Clearance.
Yesterday I got my first NBI clearance at Carriedo, Manila. I was there at around 6:30 in the morning. I thought I was early but then I’m surprised, I was at the layer 3 line. If you imagine what I mean.
Moreover, At the line where we stand, Approaching are “Problem Solvers” or they call them THE FIXERS are persuading people to get the clearance from them because it’s much easier and faster. They’re saying “Hey, I could get your clearance in 30 minutes for 400 pesos”. Yes you read it right! 400 pesos for 30 minutes when you can get the clearance for only 115 pesos + (20 pesos for entrance) in 45 minutes. I heard that those people were NBI dogs.
Okay here’s the thing FIXERS they’re Illegal. Other than that. They delay the processing of clearances. How!? One, the NBI office will process first who paid the 400 pesos rush processing. two, the releasing section will not function or release clearance until the fixers collected enough money for the day.
How about the people who were patiently waiting and standing in the line from 5 am until NBI opens at 8 am? will they be the last to get the clearance. yes! that will be the case.
I know that not only NBI were doing dirty tricks like these. I also experienced it in Land Transportation Office(LTO). I’m not condemning NBI. Philippines is really under economic crisis right now. People were tempted to do these things because of poverty but please, let’s not make it very difficult for our people.
Less corruption, gain more trust from our people.
