The bureacracy in the authentication of my college diploma and transcript of records is eating a lot of my time and patience. The authentication in my own school had took me two weeks. Now, the authentication in CHED and DFA will take another three weeks. After that, a couple of weeks will be consumed for the authentication in the UAE embassy.
Most of the people I met while processing my papers have one unique question. "Why do we have to go through a lot of processes just for the authentication of our school documents?" That is exactly my own question, too.
Popularly, there is one best answer. Visit Recto in Manila. You can easily get a college degree in an hour. Because of these group of people who professionally falsify diplomas and TORs, authentic college graduates like us suffer.
If only… the government could put up a centralized agency (like NSO) who can provide us an authentic copy of our school records. If only… our schools have a common authentic forms with special security watermarks. If only… our government agencies like CHED and DFA can truly computerized their processes to fast-track their services. If only…
But the sad part is… we do not have all of these "if onlys" at the moment.
