Assets generating income might be different and yes I read what he said but he's the first person I've seen in 2 years to say that. I've never heard of a single story of assets being accepted at the Manila embassy but I've heard countless stories of people saying they weren't. If they were accepted then we should expect to see people in FB, Reddit or VJ say that they were when they went for the interview. There are threads here on VJ of people saying that they're not accepted as well. I decided to error on the side of caution and get a higher paying job so I didn't have to worry about using assets.
