I just officially personally filed a complaint with the Office of the City Prosecutor and the Professional Regulation Commission. It was exhausting. Really.
I was with my boss along with our clients, the complainants, since they were required to personally appear before the assigned public prosecutor for the day to sign and to take their oath in front of the public prosecutor.
The process with the OCP was quick, lucky that the assigned public prosecutor was not in a hearing that day, so we didn’t have to wait long. No assessment for the fees that were collected before, such as the filing fee and the oath fee, was necessary. Based on a DOJ Circular, all previous circulars that were issued imposing filing fees for criminal complaints filed with the DOJ and offices of the city and provincial prosecutors nationwide, were revoked. Considering that we filed a criminal complaint with the OCP, our clients were no longer required to pay any fees for such filing.
So off we went to PRC. There were a lot of exam registrants there. They were all processing their application for the examination to be conducted next year. Hence, there were a lot of people lining up. And us? We were there to file an administrative complaint against an architect. It wasn’t that difficult to deal with the legal staff of PRC but then there’s a docket fee to be paid and the line at the cashier took sooooo long. We only had to pay Php 235.00 as docket fee plus Php 10.00 for the LRF. So that’s Php 245.00. We were informed that we can pay that amount in any cashier window so we looked for one that has lesser people lining up. It took us about 30-45 minutes to wait in line. And finally when it was our turn to process the payment, the cashier cannot process it claiming that she can’t provide the receipt for the Php 10.00 LRF. So I insisted that she should talk to the other cashier at another floor to give them a heads up that they should entertain us immediately since we were in line for almost an hour already and we can’t afford to wait any longer. So we went there at the other cashier and luckily our payment was processed immediately. Back at the legal office, we had the pleading stamped by the staff. They were nice to even give us free fasteners in filing the pleading along with the annexes. And that was it.
It was just sad that my phone was out of battery that time. I wasn’t able to take any pictures of the long lines at the cashier, the legal office itself as well as the good food we ate at Eat Fresh Famous Hong Kong Street Food. Eat Fresh is the bomb! The Beef Brisket was a sure winner. It was served on a hot pot where you put the sauce on it and just let it sizzle. After that, try to get to the bottom of the hot pot to get the rice almost sticking to the bottom of the pot in its crispy texture. THE best. They also have this shrimp dumpling (I can’t remember the name of this shrimp in the menu. Sorry.) that was really really yummy. Actually they have all kinds of great tasting dumplings and balls. The squid balls with the curry sauce was a good one as well. Not like any other typical squid ball. We had the pancake balls as dessert that you eat along with the peanut butter sauce. It was a great experience. It was just so unfortunate for me not to be able to take any pictures of the good food we had. And the price? Super sulit! The hotpot rice meals were only for Php 135.00 to Php 160.00. The price for the balls ranged from Php 25.00-50.00. We also had this spicy chicken pieces which was good along with the HongKong fried noodles (Only Php 50.00). I would strongly recommend Eat Fresh. It’s just like a small carinderia at Banawe. 🙂 I also saw this blog about Eat Fresh. Truly satisfying.
And there you go… exhausted yet satisfied. I had a happy tummy yesterday. ^_^
