Uh!
I’m referring to the locality’s offices. I went offices one after another hoping to find one to notarize my document but I was unfortunate because I didn’t and just given up when the rain is pouring. I think rarely or never to find one on this occasion because it’s Saturday and most of them would just have an office in the morning.
This is what most likely to happen when you are requested to submit document that should be notarized at the last minute of the week’s last working days and have to be used early on the week’s first working days and you have to submit it at regional office which is 90 kilometers away from your place. I was aware that I won’t be able to secure if I would just look up by afternoon. But I called up one office and the lawyer promised me that he is available at afternoon since he’s out of town in the morning but he did not honor his promise because when I went on their office this afternoon, there’s nobody in there. (Too Bad) There might be important reasons.
I’m having a problem now because the appointment at the regional office was already set.
[/b]Wish me Good Luck[b].

Not all lawyers can notarize, now that it's the beginning of the year they might still be in the process of renewing them. Most lawyers also hold office in the city and it's very rare that there are two or three in the sub urban areas. In our case we only have one lawyer in our town which has about 40 thousand registered voters but his notarial is available 24/7 though the office is located outside of the poblacion. Don't you have friends who can refer you to a lawyer who will notarize it on weekend?

You are right. I only go to offices of notary public lawyers and as what I have said I never found one. I contacted some friends and acquaintances but they only said to try to visit office of so and so. I never tried looking either to the directory because it might be the same result.

@florelway This is what's going to happen. I'll be late for the appointment and that's it.

@ZedSmart that's a sad plight you have there at the moment, maybe you should rush to an attorney's office first thing in the morning on Monday, private lawyers may not come in that early, you may try going to a Public Attorney's Office, Government Offices are open at 8:00.
