nbi-clearance-cebu-2018online

LAST update: October 13, 2019

Applying for a job locally or overseas, or for a visa to travel? Well, that’s perhaps the reason why you have landed into this article as an NBI clearance is one of the required documents. This is because an NBI clearance is one way of proving you are not convicted or wanted for any crime in the country.

NBI-Satellite-Clearance-Center-Banawa-Cebu-City

Before going to the nearest NBI Clearance Outlet, make sure to bring all the necessary requirements in applying for your NBI Clearance. NBI requires you to present two (2) valid IDs. The list of valid IDs accepted by NBI Clearance Outlet are:

  • Valid passport
  • Voter’s ID
  • Driver’s License
  • PRC License
  • SSS ID
  • GSIS UMID
  • School/Company ID
  • Tax Identification Number (TIN) ID
  • Philhealth ID
  • NSO Authenticated Birth Certificate
  • Alien Certificate of Registration
  • Senior Citizen
  • Previous Copy of NBI Clearance
  • Postal ID

Some NBI Clearance Outlets require Community Certificate or Cedula together with the two (2) Valid Identification Cards you present. If you don’t have any of these, the easiest ID to get is the Postal ID or Voter’s ID.

Now the question is how… How can I get one? How can I skip all the hassle and get it fast and easy? Don’t fret, you’ve come to the right page.

Whether you have applied online or not, you still need to go to an actual NBI Clearance Center to have your photo and fingerprint taken and to claim your NBI clearance. So the techniques really here are going to the “right” NBI center and knowing the requirements and to-do’s beforehand.

 

NBI SATELLITE BRANCHES

 

There are NBI clearance centers in Cebu:

  • Robinsons Galleria Cebu in Cebu City
  • J Center Mall in Mandaue City
  • Enan Chiong Activity Center in Naga City
  • Old Municipal Hall of Bogo City
  • Shopwise Mambaling (Brgy. Mambaling, Cebu City)
  • Insular Square Mall (North Highway, Basak, Mandaue City)
  • Robinsons Cybergate Cebu Mall (Cebu City)
  • Island Central Mall (Lapu-Lapu City)

STEP 4: CLAIM YOUR NBI CLEARANCE

If you are one of the few lucky people who are cleared and don’t get a “hit” status, then you can claim your NBI Clearance Form in less than 10 minutes.

But if you are on HIT — no need to panic, this is ironically “normal”; talk about a faulty system, then you will be asked to return and claim after 2 weeks from the day you applied. Or you have the option to have it delivered to your address (with an additional fee, of course). Unfortunately, I was one of those unlucky people.

Pungko Shack is a Bohemian-themed food hub that offers an unlimited selection of seafood and all-time Filipino favorites.

It’s not your typical restaurant, it’s actually more of an “eatery” type. Don’t expect too much on the place or the space, though Pungko Shack offers a comfortable and homey-feel ambiance.

“A Mother’s Love” brings the story of Murni, a single mother who struggles to give her son Jodi a normal life. After several quarrels with her landlord, she decides to pack up and take refuge in an old and empty mansion which she has just been hired to clean.

One night, their peaceful stay is interrupted by weird sounds all throughout the house. As she searches for its source, she discovers a group of malnourished children locked in the attic. Murni reports this to the authorities who then save the children and return them to their families. But what she doesn’t know is she has just stolen the children from their adoptive mother – Wewe Gombel. Now, Murni must beware of the demon’s wrath.

 

More scares!

“A Mother’s Love” will be followed by tales from Japan (“Tatami”) Singapore (“Nobody”), Thailand (“Pob”), Malaysia (“Toyol”), and Korea (“Mongdal”).

The Advocacy

Social awareness is defined as being aware of the problems that different societies and communities face on a day-to-day basis and to be conscious of the difficulties and hardships of society. As we improve social awareness, we also improve our experience of life, create opportunities for better work study life balance, become aware of other peoples emotions, and improve our ability to respond to change. Social issues include poverty, racism, bullying, opportunity inequality, mental health awareness, homelessness, LGBT issues, anti – abortion, education and much, much more. Anything that negatively affects people within a society, that people care about, can become a social issue.

The Rise Up and Unite advocacy concert aims to achieve and to reach out to the youth of today through music and arts. Most of us know the feeling of being moved by a work of art, whether it is a song, a play, a poem, a novel, a painting. When we are touched, we are moved; we are transported to a new place that is, nevertheless, strongly rooted and is a tool for expression. That is why arts and music is so powerful.

 

The Bands

 

December Avenue

December Avenue is a band that has become known for strong melodies with lyrics that really hit you in the heart; it has taken them a decade to break from the under the radar musical scene to breaking to the more established roster of OPM bands.

 

Silent Sanctuary

Silent Sanctuary is a 4-piece Filipino rock band that was formed in Metro Manila, Philippines in 2001. Five studio albums have been released by the band throughout its career. They are the band behind the hit songs: “Pasensya Ka Na”, “Kundiman”, “Sa’Yo”, among others.

 

The Ransom Collective

The Ransom Collective (also known as TRC and originally known as Kian Ransom) is a Filipino indie folk band based in Manila, Philippines. The band is best known for winning the first place at Wanderland Music and Arts Festival’s pre-event Wanderband competition last January 2014 and played at Wanderland 2014.

Café Dessart: The Trending Café in Cebu City

1cafedessartcebu

If you want to have a different coffee shop experience that is really something new, this is the best café for you!

There’s already a lot of cafés and coffee shops popping out in Cebu. Some are aesthetic-centered, while some focus on good food and others on perfect-blended coffees. But only very few actually offer all of the above. Café Dessart, the newest and one of the hippest cafés we have seen in Cebu, takes the coffee shop scene to the next level when it comes to overall customer satisfaction.

cafedessartcebu-1

Located at the 2nd Level of Northwood Square, F. Cabahug St. in Cebu City (near Burger King Panagdait / Sykes), Café Dessart promises to serve you a unique yet comfortable experience — from aesthetics to food and drinks that are new to your eyes, to virtual reality gaming (a first in a café). Not only that, it is also the first café in Cebu to introduce digital printing with personalized art on top of your coffee!

cafedessartcebu-2

cafedessartcebu-5

 

Personalized beverages…

What I love about Café Dessart is how they sway away from the typical café offerings. One of their unique products is the personalized art for your beverages — whether it’s a digital print of your face or someone else’s, or a latte art of something cute.

P.S. They are eco-friendly, too!

Just weeks ago, Café Dessart has implemented a new service aimed at targeting the single use plastic straws within the cafe. Here’s how it works:

  1. All drinks will be served on a Mason-Glass Jar, accompanied with a BAMBOO STRAW.
  2. An order isn’t considered completed unless a deposit of P30.00 is made. This P30.00 is 100% FULLY REFUNDABLE.
  3. If you decide to take the BAMBOO STRAW home, you may do so, if not, kindly return it to the bar-counter area and retrieve your P30.00.
  4. Upon your return: if you use & bring your own renewable, recyclable, compostable container + straw, you may enjoy a P5.00 discount.
  5. Alternatively, any beverage for “Take-Away” using our plastic containers and/ straw, will be charged with an extra P5.00.

 

Not your ordinary desserts and meals…

The menu has a wonderfully overwhelming amount to take in, from its drink selections to large array of sweets and round the clock meals.

THREE reasons why I love their food:
1. Servings are generous.
2. Aesthetically good, Instagram-worthy.
3. Really delicious!

Just look at these mouthwatering photos!

Virtual reality gaming…

DID YOU KNOW virtual gaming is the future? It is an interactive computer-generated experience taking place within a simulated environment. It will feel like you are inside the game! It’s the trending gaming system in the United States, and you can actually experience it at Café Dessart for as low as ₱50 per game!
