NBI Clearance & Renewal Card, Do You Already Have Both?

The NBI Clearance is a major documentary requirement for Filipinos, almost a mandatory requirement for employment and serves a host of other purposes. New grads or those just entering the workforce will almost certainly be required to get one while veteran workers may be required to renew from time to time.

A Sample of an NBI Clearance Certificate
Image from Tom's Blog

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has long been offering a faster means of renewing one's NBI clearance via the NBI Clearance Renewal Card.

The Back Portion of an NBI Clearance Renewal Card
Image from John's Blog

Companies or employers require an NBI Clearance as prospective employee's proof that he/she has no legal/criminal liability. The NBI issues a clearance certificate if the applicant has no record on file (also referred to as nbi clearance hit) with them.

I recently applied for a new NBI clearance. The NBI Clearance Center is currently at the Victory Central Mall in Caloocan City.

New applicants are required to present two valid IDs ( PRC ID, SSS ID, TIN ID, School ID, Company ID etc). I just brought my NSO-Certified Birth Certificate. Those for renewal just need to present their old NBI Clearance certificates.

Here are the steps for New Applicants in obtaining an NBI Clearance that I recently undertook.

Get an application form. You will be asked for IDs. Fill out the required information. A Birth certificate comes handy as the birthplace of parents are needed info to fill out the form.

After which, you need to have your application form verified at the Data Check counters.

Next step is paying the clearance fee of Php 115.00. Bringing a Php 100 peso bill plus three 5-peso coins can facilitate your payment. There are automated machines inside the center accepting exact payment. As much as possible, avoid going there during lunch break as there will only be a few cashiers who will man the payment counters, translating to longer lines. An official receipt will be given after payment.

Next step is Finger Printing. It would be wise to bring tissue paper to clean the ink off your fingers as the Php 2.oo wet tissue being sold won't be enough to wipe off the ink completely.

Then, your image will be captured.

You will then proceed to Data Entry and where I believe the record verification process is done. If you have no namesake and no nbi clearance hit, your NBI Clearance certificate will be released on the same date. [Otherwise, getting your clearance will take longer and you will be required to return.]

You just need to present your official receipt at the next step, wait for your clearance certificate to be printed and you're done.

Your NBI clearance is valid one year from the date of issue. You will be issued two copies, one that you can give to your prospective employer and another for your personal copy that you will use for renewal.

However it would be wise to get an NBI renewal card. It costs an additional Php 120.00 but it promises an easier way to renew your NBI clearance from then on. And you get to keep another official government ID card.

For renewal, NBI clearance renewal machines (also available in selected malls) will only require you to swipe the NBI card, pay the exact fee, wait for your clearance print out and off you go.

Getting the renewal card should only take a few minutes longer. Your picture will be taken again together with your right thumb print and the card will be printed immediately.

For more information about NBI clearance, go visit the following links:
http://www.nbi.gov.ph/faq.htm
http://www.nbi.gov.ph/clearance1.htm

Or call the NBI Clearance Center via telephone numbers 351-4149 and 351-0619.

NBI Clearance Center
Victory Central Mall
#717 Old Victory Liner Cmpd. Rizal Ave.

We hope that jobseekers can complete all the documentary requirements as easily as possible including an NBI Clearance and an NBI Clearance Renewal Card.

Filipino Seafarers Can Look for Better Days

The future looks bright for Filipino seafarers because of initiatives that could increase the wage they will get and upgrade their professional skills.

The minimum wage of seafarers stand to get an increase as the International Labor Organization saw its necessity.

An international agreement has been reached on an increase in the ILO Minimum Basic Wage for seafarers at a meeting of the Joint Maritime Commission Sub-Committee on Wages of Seafarers in Geneva on 26-27 April.

The current ILO minimum basic wage for an AB covering 48 hours of work will increase from US$545 to $555 on 1 January 2012, to $568 on 1 January 2013 and eventually to $585 on 31 December 2013.

- from Nautilus International

Filipino seafarers have already established a solid reputation in maritime service in terms of competence, professionalism and dedication. International shipping companies who would prefer Filipino seamen are expected to adhere to internationally accepted laws and standards governing the industry.

On the local front, the government appear serious in supporting our seafaring industry.

National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director-General Cayetano W. Paderanga Jr. has announced that the national government is committed in further developing the professional skills of Filipino seafarers.

He said this is being done by investing in world-class training modules and facilities which are vital to improving the expertise of the country’s mariners.

- from Positive News Media

One of the current problems faced by local seafarers is the serious issue of piracy in Somalia.

Among the measures undertaken by the government is to make arrangements with ship principals and manning agencies for vesselto travelalong a safety corridor and to adopt best management practicess as a deterrence to piracy attacks.

The Philippine government has likewise taken up the issue of maritime safety and security in the Gulf of Aden and in the Indian Ocean before the United Nations and other international organizations.

Also, the UN Security Council continues with its Anti-piracy campaign specifically against armed-robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia.

These things make me feel that Filipino Seafarers can look ahead to better days in the near future.

Labor Day 2011 Job Fair, WHERE?

I'm sorry that I am a little bit annoyed.

I'd really like to help the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) get the word out about the Job and Livelihood Fair which is going to be the centerpiece event of the Labor Day 2011 celebrations this coming May 1, 2011.

But I find the information dissemination about it wanting.

Job & Livelihood Fair - Labor Day 2011
Department of Labor & Employment

DOLE, in a press release, is encouraging job seekers to pre-register online for the nationwide job fair. So, it will be nationwide. But where? Is it so hard to put the specific venues where these job seekers would go to on the day of the job fair? Or are the venues still to be determined?

In another press release, DOLE says that Labor Day 2011 is now on Facebook & Twitter but did not provide live links that will lead to those respective webpages. I feel that job seekers who use the internet looking for job opportunites and job fairs can get served better if they can get the specific information in a few clicks of the mouse.

Is it just me, asking too much? Or the DOLE really needs to improve their press releases and ensure that they provide specific information faster for job seekers?

Interested Filipino job seekers are encouraged to pre-register here. And hopefully, they will be informed where to go to for the job fair very soon.

Leaders of the Joint Manning Group (JMG), the umbrella organization of seabased manning agencies in the Filipinos, shared the heavy investments for world class training modules and training facilities, enabling Filipino seamen to handle the most sophisticated sea vehicles in the world. Filipinos are capable ship handlers from captains to mates.

These efforts of the stakeholders in the seafaring and manning industry will surely boost the stock of Filipino mariners amongst shipping companies leading to more seaman jobs. These efforts should be lauded and should be continued.

Shipping companies worldwide can entrust their ships to Filipino seafarers because they are highly competent and highly motivated to perform really well.

I have a few seaman friends who have worked across the world seas. Most of them have risen in rank because they continuosly train and upgrade their knowledge and skill whenever they can during their stay in the Philippines. I feel proud of the contributions of Filipino mariners/seafarers in world.
