Enchanted Kingdom, located in Santa Rosa, Laguna, is a theme park which serves as one of the most favorite destinations in the Philippines.
In this page of my website, Enchanted Kingdom’s info should be completely posted soon including opening and closing hours, schedule for the coming months this year 2012, ticket prices, amount of other fees, directions, contact number, and location map. If possible, I might also post Enchanted Kingdom promo infos.
Disclaimer: And obviously, by looking at the page URL you’ll know that this is not the official Enchanted Kingdom website. 🙂 I’m in no way affiliated with EK, so even though I try my best to keep the info here updated, I might miss a few of their price/schedule change.
I’ve gathered various information about Enchanted Kingdom in this page, so I decided to help you with a navigation menu below. (more…)
2015 Update: part of NBI Clearance process can now be done online!
The old NBI Clearance process was long and mostly manually done: fill-up form, data check, payment at cashier, data encoding, photo & fingerprint capture, and finally, the printing of NBI Clearance.
But now, they compressed the processes in 3 steps:
The new process begins with Online registration, appointment, and e-payment, which we can do without visiting an NBI branch. For our Photo & fingerprint capture, we then go to an NBI branch. Printing of NBI Clearance is done after the photo and fingerprint capture.
Much simpler process, right? If you have any trouble, you may contact with NBI Clearance staff via the following numbers during work hours (Monday to Friday, 9AM to 5PM). They were taken from NBI Clearance website on October 4, 2015:
GLOBE NUMBERS: 09179999421 / 09179999418
SMART NUMBERS: 09204129999 / 09995699964
And just a comment – Wow, 8 hours lang sila? Ang convenient siguro ng 9 to 5 lang nasa office.
