Nag-abiso ang Department of Foreign Affairs–Office of Consular Affairs (DFA-OCA) na pansamantalang sususpindihin sa darating na Pebrero 15-19, ang one working day processing sa mga dokumentong "for authentication" o "Red-ribbon.”

"Wishes to inform the public that expedited (one working day) processing of documents for authentication (“red-ribbon”), and same-day release of documents issued by other government agencies will be suspended on 15 February and 19 February 2018 due to system maintenance and upgrade," saad sa abiso ng DFA na makikita sa kanilang website.

Gayunman, tuloy pa rin umano ang regular processing ng mga dokumento na "for authentication" na apat na araw.

"Online verification of issued authenticated documents by DFA-Aseana through the Authentication Verification System or AVS will also be unavailable during this time," ayon pa sa pahayag.

Humingi ng paumanhin ang DFA-OCA sa mga maabala at inaasahang babalik sa normal ang operasyon sa Pebrero 20.-- FRJ, GMA News
