Getting a passport is one of the things I haven't done despite the numerous attempts to do so.

However, being picked as one of the nominees for a 2-week training abroad prompted me to apply for
a passport. Prior to filling out the application form to the said training, my colleague and I applied
online using the DFA Passport Appointment Service. Two days ago, we are are advised that the
deadline of submitting the training application form to is today, February 19. Given the situation, we
really have to secure a passport immediately, at least before the organizer call us for an interview. So,
we opted to go to DFA this morning to avail of the Courtesy Lane Facility for government
employees instead of waiting for our scheduled appointment .

We left the office at 9am and arrived at the DFA Aseana in Macapagal Boulevard, Paranaque City at
10:30 am. Since we already accomplished the form before leaving the office, Step 1 (receiving and
validation of application) and Step 2 (payment) was a breeze. A bit of waiting game happened
during the 3rd Step, encoding and taking of photo. Our passports will be released on February 28. By
