NSO shortcut

i went to the makati city hall today to check on our marriage certificate. i was ready to expedite the process of getting an NSO-authenticated copy by bringing the local civil registry's copy to the NSO - but fortunately, all i had to do was make a request and pay for it... so voila - i can pick it up on the 28th of december!

it's nice to know that the government has made improvements when it comes to paperwork!
