Aren't they supposed to serve EVERYONE regardless the number as long as it's before 5:00PM??!!) And he said that since all the satellite offices are closed EVERYONE comes to their branch. Hell.

I decided to leave at 7:30am because I was advised to go early since the *Medical Exam Office* opens earlier than 8am. So at 7:45am - I was already at the La Loma District Office (LLDO) of LTO ...
