    if you are a solo parent, apply for it and get an ID, you will appreciate the extra 7 days leave with pay. i did. for those of you who don't know existing and working ni na balaod, daghan lang wala kabalo. dapat mansad ta magpakabana gud, dili kay magsalig lang sa sulti sa uban. apil nas atong paningkamot. one more thing, dili ra babaye ang solo parent, apil pud laki basta ikaw nag atiman sa anak ug wa kay asawa, pwede ka solo parent. read more about the law and learn.
