The processing of the payment, similar to other payments made through bills payment, will be processed and posted in three (3) working days. This means that the names of learners who pay on the day of distribution will not yet be reflected in the official list of complete payments and they cannot claim their orders yet. 7. Learners who made complete payments and whose names appear in the official list may claim their textbooks during their designated onsite distribution/ claiming period. However, learners must keep and bring their proof of payment (printed or digital), on the day of their books claiming.
