I have been super, and I really mean super, busy for the past week. I had job interviews, meetings, appointments, and 60 essays to grade. Whew! Add to that, I had to secure some requirements for my agent's license. Yes, I've decided to take on a new career.
One of the requirements was to get either an NBI clearance or a barangay clearance. I already have my NBI clearance, which I already submitted to that one company I was supposed to start working for in July. I could get another, but that would mean another P115 for something I already have. So, I decided to get a barangay clearance. Easy enough, right?
The only obstacle I had though was finding the barangay hall of Barangay Calamba, where we belong. That is another story.
I called ahead to make sure there were still open since it was almost 10:30AM. I know offices close for lunch, but lunch can mean as early as 11AM for government offices. The lady I spoke with assured me that they will be open till noon. Good.
Requirements:
Nothing. Nothing except for the P20 for the clearance. The barangay secretary handed me a pen and a piece of paper and asked me to write down my name, address, and the purpose for the barangay clearance. I just wrote Employment as my purpose.
Total amount I spent? Twenty Pesos. Although, I must warn you that I am writing specifically only for my barangay, Barangay Calamba, Cebu City. Requirements and fees may differ from one barangay to another. I know this because I looked up some of the requirements online before I went to my barangay. It's better you call your own barangay hall ahead and inquire about requirements and fees before going there.
