The same aforementioned IDs will be used for applicants who wish to transfer within and outside Butuan City.

However, cedula and police clearance shall not be honored for registration purposes.

The next RAP and satellite schedule will be on April 20, 2024 from 8:00AM to 5:00PM at SM City Butuan. Additional schedules will be announced anytime.
