I know. I wanted to cry while his inept and grubby fingers were manhandling my iPad but it's a good thing I don't ever resell my iDevices. Glad its fixed though. Lesson learned.
You should have brought it to Microwarehouse 1st. They are the authorized service center for apple products. All the "apple" stores in Davao are just resellers. These stores should have told you to go to Microwarehouse. Anyways, it's a good thing there are cheap repairmen available here.
