    "Merry Christmas"
    Sir / Madam, how will I know if I am qualified to take the Principal Test 2016 exam which will be done this coming December 18, 2016, Sunday. When in fact I already submitted my pertinent papers through e-mail last July 2,2016 upon the the final validation and approval from our Division Office Sarangani and I send it immediately from my e-mail address:
    [email protected] to [email protected] Since then, I didn't even received any confirmation message that I am qualified to take the exam. Waiting for nothing. Is there any alternative with this matter? If so, Thank You and "MERRY CHRISTMAS" God Bless NEAP.
