SPOT.ph Roundup: Malls in QC That Have Your Government-Related Needs in One Place

(SPOT.ph) So, #adulting, a.k.a. jobs, bills, responsibilities... and government IDs and documents. We know how stressful it is to go around the Metro jumping from one government agency to another for whatever paper it is you need. You can expect long queues, insane waiting time, running out of slots and schedules, the commute, dealing with the staff—the whole process. We get the hassle. But to make it a little easier, there are malls with offsite government services—from the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) for passport concerns to Pag-IBIG; Social Security System, and Land Transportation Office (LTO), among others—in one place. You can hit a lot of birds with one stone, or in this case, one visit. And hey, you'll even have the time to do some shopping.
