I was moved by the pictures posted above.. and I honestly felt sorry for all the victims. My mom and I even organized this relief operation for those who are located in Sta. Cruz, Laguna. Along with a few friends, we gathered in all donations from different people and did the segregation at home.. We were fortunate for those who donated foods. We were actually able to come up with more than 70+ packs for the relief. Considering that we started collating a week after the devastation. Amazing it seems as fellow filipinos contributed so much for the operation. Even for those who had nothing else left to donate. They were still able to find means to donate at least a few. thank you for sharing.. I just remembered our relief operation. It'll be a memory id definitely be proud of telling in the future.. :) Hello there..

By mid-July, I received the same confirmation that my application was successful and that the next step to do was to pay the 48.25 UK pounds postal fee. It took me a while before deciding to pay the fee. At first I had apprehensions regarding the website, thinking it might just be another scam/fraud site. So I asked my sister who is already working in UK if the site was legit. Naive enough, I immediately believed my sister that it was a legit site. I was even more convinced when I received a reply from visagovernor team regarding my inquiry on accommodation. Since they are replying to inquiries I naively thought they were legit (tooo bad...) So after almost a month, just 2 weeks ago, my sister deposited the 48.25 UK pounds fee at the Barclay's account number stated in their website. It is stated in the website that it will take 3-4 days before payments are cleared. So since last week, I have been constantly checking for the status in my visagovernor account. However, up until today, the document status remains 'Awaiting Payment.' It is already more than 10 working days since we paid the fee but the status remains the same. It is by this time that I began to doubt. Fearing the worst, i typed 'visagovernor legit?' keyword in google. And alas! I came to this blog...and couldn't believe what I find out -- I could just well be a victim of fraudulent website. Darn...how could I have not investigated first on the legitimacy of the said website. I should have not given it the benefit of the doubt, when at first I was already apprehensive about it. I shouldve really googled it before letting my sister pay the fee..Hay..this is going to be my first sad lesson on website fraudulence. So guys, especially my kababayans, let's be careful about sites such as this. Aww..i should have searched about this before we paid!!

My application was successful for only 13 days, it's stated that it would be on "GREEN" on your member area and that was happen to my account. But, I haven't paid the postage fee of 48.25UK pound. I'm having a second thought not to pay right away because I was then a victim of a scam from a hotel named Kutuma Hotel. So, it serves as a lesson learned for me not to give/send money to the latter if ever I'd discovered something like this which is too good to be true opportunity. We'll see, but for me to be sure not to be victimized again, I'm not gonna send money to them (VISAGOVERNOR). I also apply for VisaGovernor and my application was successful.

Sol. You are most welcome. Thank you as well for dropping by Pinoy Around the World. I'm afraid I don't know of any legitimate company that can help those who want to come here on student visa. I do know, though, that Golders Green College in London accepts student visa holders, as one of my close friends here go to school there and she is here on student visa. She came here through an agent and she spent half a million pesos (I'm not sure if that included her show money). You can try surfing for that college if you want and go direct to them. Hope this will help. God bless you. Hi! Sol. You are most welcome. Thank you as well for dropping by Pinoy Around the World.

In this world, there really are people who are selfish and only think of themselves. They only think about how to gratify their own wants and unfortunately, they even go to the extent of hurting and defrauding others just to do this. Just be more careful next time. I hope your complaint will prosper so that it will stop visagovernor from stealing from more people. Victim, I understand how you feel.
