Hi!
I applied for DOLE-AKAP region IX last September 23, 2021. I was called through the phone and interviewed, and eventually was approved.
While waiting for the release, I noticed that there is no update whatsoever from them. So I decided to call DOLE and OWWA and they said the same thing that "they are waiting for the budget to be released". Until I departed again and gone back overseas to my job on February 2022. Until now I haven't received any update.
Please Help.
