Got it. Thanks for clearing that up
The lady from HRO sent me an email inviting me to go talk about āHonduras Multiculturalismā over the weekend. Apparently it is an invitation from the Dept of Civil Affairs from Taipei Government.
They said either talk or DIY session of 2 hoursā¦ I honestly donāt want to bother with it.

Do it for the guanxi. Good to have friends in government, especially when you are trying to naturalize.

This is what I was just thinking butā¦ the timing of this request is so sneaky that I donāt think I can refuse lol.
I asked them to give me a better idea of what they want so I can start preparing. Time to take the dust off old Uni PPTs I did before lol (that is how I passed Chinese History class hehe).

Do a baleada and horchata demo.
Talk about common foods, traditions. Similar parades, tamales, etc.
Do a punta demo and dance class 
No se complique la vida. Keep it simple. No economic charts, no complex history lessons. Keep it fun and light. Culture is everyday life. Think about the things you love about your country and that you would like to share.
Honduras has the garĆfuna people, the city residents, small town folk. It has a large portion of immigrants, from Europe to the Middle East. There is your multiculturalism.

Great idea, I might have them make themselves some baleadas and call it a DIY session haha.
If I ever lose my nationality, this might be the reason why. I canāt dance punta, tengo dos pies izquierdos!

I get what you mean, but Iāve found that they love seeing stats comparing to Taiwan. I will still throw in some population density and land mass stats.

My TARC has finally arrived and the lady at HHRO asked me to come pick up at earliest convenience. She also shared a screenshot of the card and I found out the ID No. is completely different from my previous APRC.

This was expected, even if you updated your APRC you would have gotten a completely different number. New ID to screw all foreigners!

For those who might be interested, if you applied for voluntary naturalization you still need your open work permit with TARC but you donāt need a new one as long as the passport number remains the same.
I just picked up my TARC today and they called to verify this.

this must be useful information for some people on this forum.
I remember someone asked on this and I was not sure about it.
Just for clarification, if you renounce your original nationality and become a single nationality TARC holder, you donāt need a work permit, iiuc.

That is correct, I am still keeping my original nationality so I still need to use the open work permit.

If you apply for naturalization as a spouse of a ROC national you donāt need a work permit either.
