I need your opinion guys. We did not get a response from our gmcs request. What is the best thing to do next? We got our ppr request last feb 22, 13 and it arrived at cem feb 26 but until now we are still waiting for remed request because it is already expired since January 3'13. There is no word from cem since ppr last feb... :( :( :( my husband is Canadian citizen but he is a 100%(both parents are filipino). Is it time now to email cem or should we wait till November since processing time is 14 months :'( :'( :'(

it must be the white airport taxis. because the yellow ones are metered. i prefer riding on the taxis at the airport because NAIA would have a record just in case something happened.
