Tahir, dynamic openers headline galloping Giants' win over feckless Stars
Eric Simons' troops show power and precision as Jozi's defending champions now look dead in the water for 2019.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Giants continued to showcase their power and precision by, to put it bluntly, massacring the Jozi Stars by nine wickets at the Wanderers on Saturday.
This latest defeat makes it four out of four for the increasingly toothless defending champions, who now look highly unlikely to defend the title they won last year.
There had been much fanfare over the Giants' balanced, attacking and experienced squad going into this year's tournament and coach Eric Simons is seemingly making them gel well.
The Stars were blown away by their varied attack, slumping to a fairly depressing 108 in 18.5 overs.
Only skipper Temba Bavuma showed any type of resistance, plugging away for a 31-ball 27, but there was literally nothing else to highlight in a pitiful batting effort.
It was nice to see the wily Imran Tahir bamboozling the lower order with fine figures of 3/23 though it was the seamers that landed the first punches.
In reply, the Giants galloped to their target in just 9.1 overs as a disheartened home team seemed to give up.
English dynamo Jason Roy showed a glimpse of his class to hit four fours and two sixes in his 31 off just 12 deliveries, before Aussie stalwart Ben Dunk and captain Jon-Jon Smuts (23 off 14) finished the job, ensuring the Eastern Cape franchise's net run rate would skyrocket.
The Stars' woes were compounded by 19-year-old quick Gerald Coetzee crying off with a hamstring injury after only bowling two legitimate deliveries.
Given his workload to date at the Knights this season, it's probably the type of unfortunate affliction that was bound to happen.
Hopefully he'll come back stronger.
Batsman of the game
It's been a few lean years for Dunk, the 32-year-old left-hander who a couple of seasons ago lit up the Big Bash to get himself into the national team. Looking comfortable in this season's MSL, he made a superb, unbeaten 50 off 30 balls, combining his sublime on-side play with some real power. If he and Roy can find their mojo together, this opening combo could become unstoppable.
Bowler of the game
Junior Dala might still divide opinion, but this skiddy seamer certainly does know how to grab attention. His spell of 3/19 was a compelling effort. Whacked for a six by Chris Gayle early in his spell, he followed it up with a gutsy, cracking yorker to dislodge the West Indian legend. He kept applying pressure and was rewarded with two late wickets.
There probably wasn't one given how the Giants dominated from the outset, but Dala's magnificent delivery to Gayle did seem to take the wind out of the Stars' already ragged sails.

'Among the Swamp People' the perfect guy gift
Posted by Kevin Lee | Sep 2, 2015 | Artifice | 0 |
For Mobile author Watt Key, his latest book, "Among the Swamp People," was a rule breaker. That started with its deviation from the young adult genre, which has earned him a wealth of awards and even spawned a movie from "Alabama Moon," his heralded 2006 debut.
"It's essays but not your traditional literati type essays," Key said. "They all tie together and it's taken from a journal I kept up in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta over about 15 years at a swamp camp I built."
Key said his usual publisher, Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, was reluctant when the new collection he described as a "redneck Garrison Keillor" landed on their desk. He understood their reticence with the change in demographic targets, both in age and specific regional appeal.
"They've been very supportive of it. They encouraged me to go forward with University of Alabama Press," Key said. "They said, 'the more your name's out there, the better.' They were happy about it."
(Photo/ The University of Alabama Press) The story of Watt Key's discovery of the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta is available in hardcover or e-book from the University of Alabama Press.
Another transgression was its revelation of what happens when men retreat to the wilds with their friends. It confirmed common suspicions.
"One person said, 'It belongs on the back of the toilet in every hunting and fishing camp in the country,'" Key said. "Everything's in there, from the desire to have a retreat out in the middle of nowhere to the mischief that goes on with the guns, booze and outlaws, but in a very unique setting, a place you can only get to by boat."
It has the same straightforward style Key employed in previous novels "Alabama Moon," "Fourmile" and "Dirt Road Home." It's a delivery perfected through a life spent in practice, submission and rejection.
Key touched on all this in the book. He briefly relayed a youth spent on the back roads of Point Clear in Baldwin County, his graduation from Daphne's Bayside Academy then from Birmingham-Southern College. He would later earn a graduate degree at Spring Hill College.
Once back on the Gulf Coast, Key filled his material needs as a computer programmer. His deeper desires were exercised by writing and retreating to the quarter-million-plus acres of wilderness just north of Mobile Bay.
His admiration for the delta is obvious. "It is the only place I know where gloom and beauty can coexist at such extremes. And it never occurred to me that a land seemingly so bleak could hide such beauty and adventure," he writes.
It even proved a crucible for his romantic life. One essay revolved around a party in the upper delta and his invitation to a young woman he met as her escort to a debutante party. Before the outing is done, they are piled with others in an old heap of an auto and careening through the woods. Her delight led to marriage.
Not that she sees eye to eye with Key's ongoing pursuits in Chuckfee Bay. In the way he questioned whether he could ever be at peace with "city life" in Mobile, she does likewise with the delta.
"Most people think like my wife: it's just mud and scraggly trees. There's nothing to do, it's just a swamp,'" Key said. "But the things people say and the things that you meet. It's just so different. I can't really describe it to you but there's so many good stories."
Those tales are the essence of the book. Even in conversation, Key's amusement at the "swamp people" bubbled up.
"There is a guy that's always out in the swamp killing things and selling them and he had this strange-looking bill like from a platypus that's cut off from something on the front of his boat," Key said.
The writer asked about the "prehistoric"-looking trophy. The outdoorsman said it was the snout of a "spoonbill catfish," officially known as a paddlefish.
"He said, 'Yeah the government says they're endangered but I catch the ever-living hell out of these things,'" Key chortled. "Things like that just say more about the people up there than I ever could."
Key also wondered whether the natural reticence of delta denizens would be too much of a barrier. If their suspicions went too far, it could prove dangerous, as the evidence of burned out camps show.
"I was more nervous about writing about people I know. There's not that many people up there and so after awhile you get to know everybody," Key said. "So the rougher ones I was downright scared of, I had one told me he was going to kill me."
Key eventually made friends and changed names in print, even took the stories around to their appropriate parties and sought approval. No one minded.
The author feels this book will not only appeal to area sensibilities but might solve a dilemma or two. And inadvertently build appreciation.
"It's hard for women to buy things for men — Christmas presents, birthdays — and this book is an easy gift. It's not too expensive," Key said. "If they don't know about the delta they're going to learn about a place that's right here, 260,000 acres of magnificent, unusual landscape."

About the Nominee: Christina Illuzzi received nominations from multiple students. Ms. Illuzzi is an amazing LifeChanger for so many reasons! Nowadays, education is so important for students. In order to understand and learn the material fully, students need a teacher who is willing to listen be there for you when you need help. Ms. Illuzzi is someone who goes above and beyond what she is asked to do and listens to every student. She is a selfless woman who everyone should have in their life. She will make time for students before school, during class and during any prep or break she has (including her lunch break) to help students and colleagues in need. Ms. Illuzzi will check in on students via email outside of school to make sure they are not stressing out and/or giving up. She makes sure they keep one foot in front of the other and know she is one step behind them. It cannot be stressed enough how much of an impact she leaves on every student in the school she teaches. Whether it be her student or a student from another teacher, she has helped each person significantly in some way, including her nominators.
For example, she helped one of her nominators, Marina Auletti, in ways that go beyond education. Schools are primarily built on education, but to also have at least one person whom you can go to talk to about any problems you have is comforting. According to Marina, Ms. Illuzzi has helped her overcome challenges, both inside and outside of school. She helped Marina practice her lines and solos in the school play (which Ms. Illuzzi directed), and she helped her gain confidence in herself.
Ms. Illuzzi's other nominators, who wish to remain anonymous, state that she has helped give them the extra push to move forward and do their best. She helps her students successfully achieve everything they want to do in high school.
Ms. Illuzzi is the glue that holds everything together. She is so involved with the school, her job and the students. For all that she does for others before herself, Ms. Illuzzi is a true LifeChanger who is greatly appreciated for all the good work she does. Ms. Illuzzi puts her all and more in everything she does, and her students feel thankful to have her as their biggest support!

MSN: Mother's stress levels during pregnancy could increase risk of illness in children
UC researcher says host of conditions that start in childhood linked to DNA mutation and stress
MSN reported research findings from University of Cincinnati researcher Kelly Brunst, PhD, that indicate a mother's stress levels during pregnancy could increase the risk of their unborn child developing illnesses later in life. Brunst, an assistant professor in the UC College of Medicine, says psychosocial factors in mothers that create stress may also be mutating a child's mitochondrial DNA and could be precursor to a host of diseases including asthma, obesity, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism.
"We don't just wake up one day and have asthma or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder," Brunst is quoted in MSN. "The programming effects resulting from environmentally induced shifts occur over time and likely start during gestation at the molecular and cellular level. These shifts alter physiological states that likely play a role in who is going to go on and develop adverse health outcomes."

> Health > What is Whiplash and How to Treat it After a Car Accident?
One of the worst things about whiplash is that you may not feel it right away.
The adrenalin of a frightening accident, other injuries or concerns about the condition of your passengers or vehicle, and the fact that some soft tissue injuries aren't detected right away, can mean that your neck, shoulders and head truly may actually feel fine immediately following a collision.
However, telling people you're not feeling all that bad and that you're going home to rest are two of the biggest "don'ts" in these situations, and may even count as 'please do's' to the other driver or drivers, their insurance company or their attorneys, because these actions can give them, not you, a little more leverage in a legal dispute.
But first let's look at what whiplash is really is, since although a common injury, people aren't quite clear about the mechanics of it.
According to the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists, whiplash takes place when sudden acceleration and deceleration causes the head to snap backwards and forwards quickly. In a traffic situation, it accounts for 60-70 percent of reported accident-related injuries, and can come from side- or rear-impact collisions.
Over time, especially if untreated, whiplash can cause injuries that can last for years and continue to get worse, including muscle pain, vision problems, alignment problems, headaches, and nerve damage.
If you believe you may have sustained whiplash in the Vancouver area, it's important for any future claims, and suggested ICBC protocol, that you take certain steps.
Get standard collision information. Like any accident, get the basic details of the other party or parties, their vehicle information and any insurance information. Witness information will also be useful. But don't sign anything or share the possibility of whiplash, especially if the pain hasn't hit yet.
Visit a primary health provider. Instead of going to a walk-in clinic or general physician office, visit someone who is familiar with you and your previous medical history. Alert him or her to the possibility of whiplash – this let them look closer for this condition and also creates a record for it in your chart.
Continue to visit the same doctor for follow-up exams. Your practitioner may want to see you again in a few days after your accident to observe if everything is healing or other any related problems are revealed once the inflammation or swelling goes down as time passes. He or she also might be interested if you're experiencing any mental challenges as well, such as confusion. All of this could be part of your permanent medical record and allow your practitioner to create a firm diagnosis. This paperwork and your doctor's opinion can be critical.
Consult an attorney. Even if you're not familiar with whiplash, accident attorneys are, and there's a possibility that the person who caused you whiplash may be as well. An attorney often can provide a free, no obligation consultation to hear the details of your accident and what steps you've taken. If they believe your case has legal merit, they can become your advocate in getting suitable compensation, often more than what you may be offered from ICBC. They also will help you navigate the sometimes confusing claim process and make sure you get appropriate treatment before your whiplash progresses and pain level increases.
If you're involved in an incident because of the actions of another driver that causes whiplash, call at us 604-689-3883 or send us an email at info@BLWlawyers.com today.

Gwyneth Paltrow Poses Fully Naked And Covered Head-To-Toe In Gold Body Paint
She's baring all
By Lia Mappoura
When it comes to birthday milestones, some may celebrate with an extravagant birthday bash or perhaps treat themselves to a getaway. Personally, I like to keep it pretty low-key. Then, there are celebrity birthdays. Beyoncé threw a huge party not so long ago, Kylie Jenner took to a big luxury yacht and Gwyneth Paltrow, well, she had other ideas. Instead of going down the – shall we say – 'traditional' route, in celebration of her 50th birthday, the wellness and beauty mogul posed completely naked whilst covered in head-to-toe body paint. Because, why not?
The Goop founder posted a picture on Instagram for her 8.1 million followers and there's no denying that she looks great – you could even say that she's... glowing.
As shown in the photo (below), Gwyneth is wearing nothing but gold body paint that starts at her head and runs all the way down her body, even creeping up into her face and hairline.
Iconic, wouldn't you agree?
A post shared by British Vogue (@britishvogue)
To complete the look, Gwyneth's make-up artist has added a touch of gold shadow onto the eyelid whilst keeping her face complexion coverage very minimal and topping it all off with a natural nude lip. To keep her body as the main focus, Gwyn's hair has been kept down but combed back with minimal product to sit behind her ears and shoulders.
Alongside the shoot, which was for Vogue, Gwyneth got candid, reflecting on her relationship between beauty, age and self-appreciation. 'In our Western capitalistic culture, we have conflated youth and beauty and we have very little outside of that margin to explore,' she said. 'Maybe it's because I have wrinkles and I'm almost 50 years old, but I've really recalibrated the way that I look at that stuff.
'I don't relate to a 26-year-old model. I don't want her life. I don't want her face. I don't want her experience. I've earned my life. I've earned my wrinkles,' she adds. 'I have been through so many highs and lows, and there's a sweetness that starts to emerge from that, from having lived, from being wise, from being humble, from loving and losing and all of this stuff.'
We think you look great, Gwyneth! Happy birthday!

Now that the interim show is over, we'd like to update you on the next Chelsea Salon event.
The next event will be hosted at Flat Time House (FTho) in Peckham on Wednesday, May 15th.
For this salon, we're looking for people who want to experiment with performance, sound, and film. We're also looking for works that would be suitable for the outside garden.
There will be a site visit ] on Thursday, May 2nd at 11am.
Part of the visit will be a short talk with John Hill, Education Officer at FTHo and member of Lucky PDF. We'll then have an open discussion about how the salon will be structured and invite you to give your ideas. We want to emphasize experimentation and working in mediums outside your current practice.
The site visit is open to anyone who wants to come but there will be limited space for participation in the actual salon. We'll set a deadline for participation which will work on a first come first serve basis.
Flat Time House (FTHo) was the studio home of John Latham (1921-2006), recognised as one of the most significant and influential British post-war artists. In 2003, Latham declared the house a living sculpture naming it FTHo after his theory of time, "Flat Time". Until his death, John Latham opened his door to anyone interested in thinking about art. It is in this spirit that Flat Time House opened in 2008 as an archive, artist's residency space and gallery with a programme of exhibitions and events exploring the artist's practice, his theoretical ideas and their continued relevance.
This is an old post but explains the structure and short history of the series.

Lewis Hamilton: Red Bull looking "really hard to beat" in Styria F1
Lewis Hamilton believes that Red Bull will be "really hard to beat" in this weekend's Styrian Grand Prix after trailing Formula 1 title rival Max Verstappen in Friday's practice sessions.
Hamilton arrived at the Red Bull Ring eager to bounce back from a late defeat to Verstappen in France last weekend that saw him lose further ground at the top of the drivers' championship, the gap now standing at 12 points.
Verstappen was able to top both FP1 and FP2 for Red Bull on Friday, while Hamilton saw his best lap for Mercedes in second practice get deleted for a track limits breach that would otherwise have placed him P1.
Hamilton called his Friday running "a work in progress", but believed a deficit remained to Red Bull for outright pace despite feeling relatively pleased with the Mercedes car.
"I think we were a little bit down, particularly over a single lap," Hamilton said. "But generally over the day, the car felt relatively solid. I [found] some weaknesses, and as I said coming into the weekend, we're losing on the straight a considerable amount, so we've just got to keep working to try and rectify that.
"It's very close I think with the whole pack. I think the Red Bulls, definitely, will be really hard to beat. I think they've just got the edge, maybe more. We don't know what they're going to do when they turn that engine up.
"But yeah, I really don't know what to say, because I didn't really have too many big problems today. I'm happier with where we got the car to.
"I've been working flat out like all week, trying to understand where I want to put the car. I'm hopeful that the hard work starts paying off soon."

After seeing his best lap time get deleted in FP2, Hamilton ended the session fourth overall, lapping four-tenths of a second slower than Verstappen's best effort.
Red Bull is currently on a three-race winning streak, allowing it to move into the lead of both championships for the first time since 2013.
Hamilton said he would "do everything I can during the evening to make steps in the right direction" and cut the gap, but felt he was "kind of eking most of it out of the car" already.
"I don't know if it's four-tenths gap, we'll see what happens tomorrow," Hamilton said. "I think one of my laps got taken away and it was a lot closer. Yeah. It's close. But as I said, particularly in the race pace, they were really, really strong.
"They're throwing some really good punches right now, so we've just got to have our guards up and make sure we're ready for the return."

Mick Schumacher's knack of improving during his second season in a championship was a trademark of his junior formula career, so his progress during his rookie Formula 1 campaign with Haas was encouraging. His target now will be to turn that improvement into results as the team hopes to reap the rewards of sacrificing development in 2021

Here's some real talk for you, music fans: when you become a parent and a homeowner for the first time (and at the same time), your ability to attend live music on a regular basis becomes rather limited. And even after your kid gets a little older so you feel more comfortable about not being around all the time, you still need to be selective about when you go out because babysitters are expensive and family members won't always be available to watch the kid for free.
So, when I heard that MIEARS was throwing a show to celebrate the release of her Who Will Save You? EP, I knew I had to make time to see my first show of 2017. If you've already read the fantastic piece that Jef Rouner wrote back in January, you understand the record's backstory, but in case you're too lazy to click over to that piece, here's the gist:
Michelle Miears Strikes Out From BLSHS With New EP
Michelle Miears was one-third of one of the best electronic bands Houston has seen in the last couple of decades, BLSHS.
After that group broke up, she launched a solo career as MIEARS using all the production tools she learned working with her bandmates.
The result is a 6-song EP for which she did everything herself: all the writing, production, instrumentation, and more.
But while not everyone who creates a solo career after the demise of a critically lauded former act achieves the same level of success, that should not be the case for MIEARS. Her album is spectacular, and this show did not disappoint. Over the course of three hours on a clear and cool early March evening, MIEARS, Pearl Crush, and Tee Vee wowed the assembled crowd of almost 100 concertgoers with three blissful, yet highly unique takes on contemporary synth-pop.
Pearl Crush
Pearl Crush kicked off the evening with a 6-song set of pop-meets-electro tunes that blended the aesthetics of Lisa Loeb, Letters to Cleo, Grimes, and Mitski into an accessible whole. Sporting a feathery white dress and white Fender Stratocaster, she performed engaging guitar pop atop a bed of programmed tracks. The first two cuts were from her recent 7-inch on Houston's Poison Moon Records, "First Blush" b/w "Semiprecious Stone"; they were also the most straight-ahead pop tunes of the night.
From there, her set became more experimental and showcased what should be the direction of future songs: a warbling soprano that cracks ever-so-slightly in the higher register atop glitchy, off-kilter beats that blur the line between atmospheric and disorienting. Highly recommended.
When Tee Vee took the stage, the mood deepened and took a welcome turn towards the dark and unsettling. Teresa Vicinanza and Daniela Hernandez (bassist for New York City Queens) stood face to face, both clad in all-white attire, and with only a bank of synths and processors separating them. What followed were six songs powered by strong, heavily syncopated beats and drenched in feedback, yet reflecting keen pop sensibilities. If you missed the duo's set at Day for Night Fest 2016, imagine Fever Ray making music with the Sugarcubes (or check out their other project, Rose Ette).
Tee Vee
I was enamored with the aggressive juxtaposition of a wall of electronic noise with wispy synths that drifted over the top and penetrated the cracks in the mortar. Vicinanza married her lilting soprano with a theatricality to great effect, while big snare claps punctuated the air in the finest '90s techno tradition. And the older music fans I was standing with chuckled a bit when Vicinanza snapped at the crowd a couple times for talking during the set, specifically stating after the second song, "Please stop talking. That would be really cool."
Ultimately, the keytar and voice we were all there to hear walked onto the venue's small upstairs stage. Clad in a blazer, shift dress, and ankle boots in the same shade of pink, MIEARS lit into a fantastic rendition of "Directional," the opening cut on her EP. Backed by a spectacular live drummer who sported a felt blazer the same color as MIEARS' outfit, she immediately filled the room with her tremendous soprano nd swelled even the coldest hearts in the crowd.
On the surface, we were graced with a gorgeous brand of '80s synth-pop, but underneath it all, we found soaring ballads and torch songs of the highest order. With her airy soprano and nearly effortless range, MIEARS brought a tone and clarity to her glistening high notes that most established artists only wish they could have.
The 8-song set ran through all six songs on her EP, but she also introduced two brand-new cuts. The first was a funky minor-key groove that sounded like a collaboration between Phil Collins and Annie Lennox, while the second was reminiscent of Florence + the Machine, but a syncopated and chilled-out version.
I was also struck by the urgency on display with the live version of these tunes. MIEARS managed to merge the dense layers of production from the recorded version of the EP with an elegance, grace, and longing that comes from emoting in front of a receptive crowd. And while she never stepped from behind the keytar all night, her passion and intensity for her craft left you believing every single word she sang.
If you weren't among the small crowd that gathered for this show, you missed a wonderful night of music. And as a fan of both synth-pop that flirts with the avant-garde and women who produce and make music on their terms, I was thrilled to watch three Houston-area acts perform with such strength, aplomb, and tenacity. I heartily encourage you to seek out these artists.

Filipinos need to secure a visa to travel to China. Don't worry, getting a Chinese tourist visa in Cebu is not as complicated as you think. It's fast and easy as long as you have all the requirements ready. Processing takes less than a week (provided you have complete requirements).
Here's the list of requirements. We also have a guide on how and where to get your Chinese tourist visa in Cebu. This guide is for those who will be going to China as a tourist without an invitation from a family member or friends.
1. Original passport. Your passport must be valid for 6 months before your travel to China. It has to have at least one blank page for your visa. Make a photocopy of your bio page and emergency contact page, this will be submitted together with your original passport. If you have old passports, take it with you the consulate office will require you to submit it.
You must type it in capital letters. Don't forget to leave any space blank. Type Not Applicable or N/A if it does not apply.
3. Photo – photo size is 48mmx33mm, colored, must be recent and in white background. You must provide 2 pcs., attach one to the application form and clip the other one on the left side of the form. Have your photo taken in a reliable photo studio. I always get mine and my family's visa photo taken at Small Wonders along Gorordo Avenue (near Harold's Hotel). We got all our visa photos in this studio. They know the sizes and the dos and don'ts.
4. Round-trip ticket. Yes, you are required to have a round-trip ticket. It could be a reservation from the airline. For us, we snatched a deal during an online sale so we secured our tickets way ahead before we got our visas. We don't recommend this though, especially if it is your first time to travel. Online deals are usually non-refundable in case you don't get your visa approved.
5. Hotel Reservation. You need to present a hotel booking reservation. There are a lot of online hotel booking sites to secure this. You may check booking.com and Agoda.com. For us, we used our Airbnb booking confirmation.
6. Travel Itinerary. If you are traveling to China for 7 days, provide your daily itinerary for the whole 7 days. Below is a sample of our itinerary.
• BIR Stamped ITR – my husband and I both have our most recent ITRs but it was not BIR stamped yet since our employers' head office are in Manila. During the time we needed to submit our requirements both our ITRs are pending for submission to BIR. We wrote a letter to the Consul General explaining why our ITRs don't have stamps yet.
• Certificate of employment – secure a COE from your employer and your COE must have the following: your length of stay within the company, your position, and the details of your salary.
• Bank certificate and bank statement. Now, these are two different things. Bank certificate states the balance of account while the bank statement reflects your deposits and withdrawals. You need to present a bank statement for 6 months. If you have a passbook, you may photocopy your passbook including pages from the last 6 months, go to your bank and have them stamp that it's a certified true copy. For your bank certificate, your bank will have to issue this. Remember to secure an OR for this transaction, and submit the OR along with your bank certificate. My husband and I have joint accounts, upon submission of our requirements, we shared the Bank certificate and Bank statements the representative from the consulate requested for us to submit a photocopy of our marriage certificate, it will be good to have one ready.
1. Go to Mandarin Plaza Hotel. Monday – Friday from 9 am – 11 am only. There is a guard stationed in the lobby specifically for the Consulate of China, go straight to guard in blue polo.
2. If you are carrying a bag with you, you will have to leave it at the Concierge. You are only allowed to take your phone, wallet, and requirements.
3. The guard will take you to the Consulate. Remember you need to be dressed properly when you apply for your visa. No slippers, no shorts. Just go there properly dressed.
4. Once you are in the Chinese Consulate, you will be given a number. Wait for your number to be called to submit your requirements.
5. After submitting your requirements, you will be given a slip and instructions on how to pay for your application. You will have to go to Metrobank to pay for the transaction. A single entry application costs P1400. Don't forget to get your copy of the deposit slip; you will need to present this along with your claim slip when you get your passports back.
6. Processing for your visa only takes four days. My husband and I went on a Monday, we were able to get our passports back with our visas four days after.
