I applied via manila from cebu and the surrounding area, but it’s worth knowing that sometimes they request an interview and you’ll need to be prepared to get to manila quickly
What did they ask you at the interview? and how long did you have to get to the interview when they scheduled it? i’m in your exact situation currently in the philippines but not manila. If they ask for an interview does it need to be same day?
