FIRST TIME SOLO TRAVELLER

I traveled last week, and of course it was my first time to go out of the Philippines, and I was alone. Got super nervous kasi may second interview. The officer who interviewed me for the second time was good enough. He just asked me how much I earn, how long I had been working, and where I was based. Ayn. he even asked how much I had. I showed him my ticket which was booked several months in advance, and the proof of accommodation, and the reason I was alone. Then he was convinced that I would really go there as a tourist and not to do something fishy, ha! Ha! Although I was freaking out because I was nervous as hell, as long as your intentions are good, you're in good hands. I totally understand our officers, they're just doing those things for us :) Knowing our tarnished reputation around the globe. BTW, I had my COE, leave of absence letter, company ID and I just signed my contract before the trip, so I must say lahat ng "bala" ni ready ko. ha! ha! Pati number ng general at assistant managers namin! I also made sure that my mobile data works well in case they ask for my company website. Just talk to them properly AND politely no matter how STERN they appear. Lalo pag babae ka, kasi we are subject to different forms of exploitation. They are still humans with a heart after all.
