first travel success
hello guys. share ko lang experience ko sa immig sa clark. october 4 flight ko to bangkok. kasama ko anak ko. dun s immigration card, i checked visit relatives. them dun na sa booth, i presented
1. passport namin ng anak ko
2. round trip ticket namin to and from bangkok. then ticket namin to hat yai. dun kasi nakatira cousin ko.
3. invitation letter ng cousin ko
4. passport copy ng cousin ko
5. work permit ng cousin ko
so, first question ng IO, ano trabaho mo online, nagtuturo k ba online? sabi ko hindi. nag.bibuild po ako ng websites. sabi nya ok. next question nya,hindi kayo kasal? sabi ko hindi. hindi kasi kasal nung ama ng bata. then last question nya, sigurado ka anak mo to ha? hindi pamangkin? sabi ko opo, anak ko po yan. may birth cert ako dito. so hiningi nya yung BC. tiningnan nya ng maigi yung BC.. tapos nun.. tinatakan na nya ung passport namin.
Tips lang guise: be confident. huwag pahalata n nervous kayo. speak politely.
dahil nga paranoid ako, before flight ko.. pinaprint ko pa bank statement ko and dinala ko rin yung contract ko sa online job ko. kahit n fake yung pirma dum. hahaha buti, hindi humingi ng proof of employment. cguro swerte yung trip ko kasi may dalang anak. masa mdali dw kasi pag may dalang bata.
re: Help 1st timer in Clark Airport
if u are still a minor (not yet 18), dont forget to bring dswd certificate. and parents consent to travel.
re: Help 1st timer in Clark Airport
Ok . Be sure na hindi nya ippresent ang Visit Visa nya dito sa Dmia.. dapat ung tourist itenerary lang. at parang magttour lang sya sa HK. Dapat ma work din sya dito.. para may ID sya na ippakita..

Very simple solution
Record the face and name of the BI officer who treats you with disrespect and denies you travel.
Wait for him outside the DMAIA Administration gate, where there is zero security there
Get some pals to beat the living crap out of him and tell him if he or any of his BI pals do it again, they will be followed to their homes.
Word will spread fast and they will stop their nonsense immediately. Pampanga is a lot harder to hide in than Manila for these BI assholes.

Help 1st timer in Clark Airport
Hi I'm flying to Singapore via Clark for the first time. It's my first time to go out of this country using this airport. I'm usually using Manila. Nagdecide ako na ito ang gamitin kasi ito na pinakamura since peak ang December. I'm flying to SG on Dec. 25 going back to the Philippines January 13 pa. I'm still a student though traveling alone to Singapore since mga kasama ko mauuna. I have lots of travel history and marami na rin akong visa sa passport ko (US,Korea,Taiwan,China and still waiting for Australia). I'll be going to Australia din from Singapore Dec. 31 to January 12:). Any comments on what I need to present to them? Do I need to bring my transcript of record or whatever.
re: disappointed but not shocked!
anong visa po inapplyan nyo that time?

re: They don't have heart, They're just corrupt!
Salamat! :)
Someone needs to do something about this. Hindi biro ung perang ginagastos even before makaalis for a tour. :(
re: Mother&Daughter
salamat po:)
re: re:Worried
Reply to @buset: Yes, in any airport, you will be asked for a proof of relation, so you have to prepare birth certificates. Since you're not really related to the person, I think it is better to provide them a hotel accommodation, so they'll know you'll not be palaboy in HK.I'm not really sure if it is a good idea to claim that you're visiting a friend, I think they'll still ask for different docs or proofs. Maghahanap talaga sila ng butas para hindi ka makaalis. Ganun sila.

DMIA- IO Read the contents of passport!!!!
Sana talaga ibahin na lang sistema para walang masayang, pass the immigration first then buy a ticket!!! Airline industries, you have to do your part with this case, mga parokyano nyo naapektuhan. IO @ Clark, MAHIYA naman kyo!!! Basahin nyo ang nakatatak sa passport, @ the back of the front page.
" Pahintulutang makaraan ng malaya at walang sagabal at kung kailangan ay pag ukulan sya ng tulong at proteksyon ayon sa batas." Irony here, Immigration Officers ang SAGABAL!!!
re: re:Worried
ano mga tinanong sayo before mo sinabi na pupuntahan mo ung pinsan mo? hmm.. it's better if you just said you will have a trip and just tourist. kung may kamag-anak ka dun, I think even in NAIA they will look for that proof of relation if you declared it on the immigration interview. Just get another airline ticket, hotel accomodation and credit cards and cash...
re: They don't have heart, They're just corrupt!
Reply to @blez:
My understanding is that Immigration Officers are trained to make sure that Filipinos do not leave the country to become TNT's in other countries. Unfortunately this practice makes every Filipino suspect. We flew from Clark to Singapore last March and they questioned my boyfriend for a long time. I hold a US passport so they had no question for me. I made sure he was dressed up--not with just jeans and tshirt but with dress slacks and dress shirt like a business man he looked like he could more than afford the vacation we going to have. We also practiced the interview so he was versed in the country we were going, where we were staying, how long and when we were coming back.

re: They don't have heart, They're just corrupt!
Is this true? How much money do they need I badly need this flight. My God! How much money do I need to show them to let me in? Ill try to change my flight to Manila Airport. I hope it' s still possible because it's just promo ticket.
Pinay Leaving Clark with Foreigner
So what's the latest on the Immigration officer issues at Clark? My gf and I are leaving there on 3 Sept and we have 4 other flights throughout asia so it's important we get this first flight. I am even contemplating buying a back up ticket out of Manila just in case. We have all our hotel and plane ticket reservations, I will give her a lot of cash to hold in her pocket and we have proof of money sent to support her as well as she has traveled out of country twice before. I have a letter of support as well, what else could they need, any advice would be appreciated.
re: offlload
Not all people with the same surname are relatives, just saying.
A bit Worried
I feel so bad after reading those comments against the Immigration Officer at Clark Airport. I have a scheduled flight this 18th of August to meet my fiance in Bkk. This is my first time to use the Clark Airport since Tiger Airways offered a real affordable airfare. I had no problem in NAIA before even if it's my first time to travel outside the country last year. I been in Malaysia twice last year, so far everything was going well. I'm a bit worried using the Clark Airport now because of those negative comments I heard and read here. Can you please give me more advise to avoid problems with the Immigration Officers?
Corruption
IF your in the departure hall at Clark, watch the immigration officier who is walking around near the toilets.. They wont accept money at the immigration counter as a bribe, as its under two camera's in the roof, however they will tell you to go meet in the toilet if they stamp your clearance.
Word of advise, try to get the video camera on your cell phone running when you approach the counter, but be discrete. even you dont capture the picture, the sound will capture there voice, you will also notice they have new glass screens in place at the immigration counters on departures only.
re: They don't have heart, They're just corrupt!
Christopher of DMIA Immigration Officer. Ganyan din ginawa sa 2 guest ko. Hinahanapan ng OR, proof of income ang 2 guest ehh kumpleto naman yung Travel requirements nila. Passport, Hotel Accommodation, Roundtrip Airline Ticket (Air Asia). Nakapromo lahat. Paano na yung mga nagastos doon? Non Refundable and non rebookable pa naman, so forfeited lang. Hindi ganun kadali magwaldas ng pera.
They don't have heart, They're just corrupt!
They didn't let me in to HK, i was with my boyfriend. i showed them my ticket , hotel booking , and i filled out the form for them. but their still holding me and they asked my boyfriend to checked in while their talking to me. keep asking me for pocket money! One girl said, if you have money then you can be a tourist, but if you dont have then your not allowed to be on the plane! All B.I is just grumpy old human. I feel sad for those people who is just corrupt, even in the airport their doing the same things. They look professional but sorry to say they just want money. try to hand them some money and their not going to ask you more and just let you in without any questions. Manila airport is the best! I am loving it there, and for sure everybody does. Terminal one , and Terminal two is amazing airport for those who wants to travel abroad. Unlike Clark shit airport and shit stuffs working there! i feel sorry for you guys.
worried!!

re: ;(
dont forget to ask them to put full name with signature and exact time... if possible to record conversation too as you reach in front of them. The salary they received from our paid taxes too ...
re: Bureau of Immigration (BI) Officer Michael Vincent Dizon

dhonz7@yahoo.com
Thank you
re: ;(
sa NAIA ka na lang..kailangan mo ng Booking ng hotel,credit card at pocket money na enough sa vacation mo if ilang days ka dun,kailangan marami ka talaga pera maniwala sila na you can handle yourself to go on for a tour abroad especially when you are alone..mag inquire ka na lang sa travel agency,makakatulong din yun.
re: DAM-IMAM an immigration officer.....DAMN YOU!!!
shit po talaga na off load po aq... i have cash with me i also got hotel for 3days already paid. and they ask me i should present a supporting letter... the question is why should i do that if i can support my self to have a tour? i just waste money... huhu i cried so hard...

Immigration Officer na walang alam at mga mukhang pera
Hello mga IO ano problema nyo tour lang sa HK ang dami nyo hinahanap. bakit kayo ganyan may round trip ticket naman automatic naman balik nya bakit kayo ganyan. Sana maawa kayo sa mga gastos pinagbayad nyo travel tax at terminal fee tapos di nyo papaalisin grabe kayo. dapat sinabihan nyo na sya na di cya pwede alis para di na sya magbayad ipinapakita nyo lang na mukhang pera kayo.
re: Worst and most corrupt airport ever!!!
I experienced the same just this morning. I felt like they delayed us intentionally because they even lost my boarding pass while waiting to be interviewed for which we do not know why, hence, the delay. Finally he came back to give me the form to be filled up and he said he got a new boarding pass for me ( like I have to thank him for that, duh..! ) . I told that same officer twice that we are going to be late on our flight but he just said wait for your turn " pakihintay lang po,kayo na ang susunod ". They didn't care at all. We patiently waited for our turn. E nauna pa kame s ibang na-intrvw na. They don't have a system. They only have one interviewer, who asks the same question over and over. And nung malaman nila na naiwan kame, wala silang pakialam.
And also be careful when paying Travel Tax, there was one personnel who came up to us and assisted us in paying our travel tax. He asked us to pay exact amount. I did not suspect anything, even if he told me that while waiting, one of us can go and pay the terminal fee already, and so I went and left my sis and my friend. After which, I asked my sis and my friend for the receipt, but they said he didn't issue a receipt. I got suspicious when they asked us to refund the fees as a result of not boarding the plane. The man who took our travel tax fee gave us the refund without going back to the queu or filling up a form. He just handed over the money and said " oh eto na ung pera , para di na kyo pumila ". That is why he didn't issue a receipt coz he planned on keeping the money to himself. Obviously, a corrupt employee.. tsk.tsk.tsk.

re: Useless old people

re: Worried.
Reply to @guess87: Better taje flights coming from NAIA 1,2 or 3 if that is the case. Looks like maraming mistery dito sa DMIA.
re: Bureau of Immigration (BI) Officer Michael Vincent Dizon
Just wondering what happened to this case. Please make an update so we, frequent travelers will be wary of what to expect and what to do when we encounter things like this. The BI's are not the DFA's and I suppose they do not have the authority to confiscate the passport, more so to tear the passport.
re: Bureau of Immigration (BI) Officer Michael Vincent Dizon
Good to find this kind of blog here.. Anyway, is this really how our BI officers act??I've been also humiliated in front of many people at the airport. Can somebody tell me how to get a passport confiscated by BI?? And is it really normal that they give temporary receipt without the passenger's name and his passport number at least??..parang hukos pukos kasi...padulas ba hinihingi nila??...
re: Useless old people
Hey, try this webpage and send them email if they know how to read and understand maybe you get lucky that my asshole countryman may response on your comments, cause I myself is sick of our government.
Useless old people
Immigration Clark airport,
You guys are should be licking each others ass there, as you just care about money and not for some people who wants to get some vacations. All the members working there are just ugly old with an attittude .. I was just going to tell them earlier to lick your co-workers ass and fuck that shit! Those guys are not even thinking and they're proud reading this comment now .. Your ratings are must be worse than ever and the reviews are also bad! So condolence to all BI's.. RIP .. All they care is just the money but they cant tell it to you directly! You guys are just sick of money. I feel bad to those persons who works there, even some ladys working there but they cant even help you, As their just all the same smelly shit! So Fuck off guys and keep licking each others ass. hahahaha :) good luck for the next step!

re: Notorious BI Clark Officers
This is still happening. 01 May my girl friend of 2 years was not allowed to leave the country when we attempted to go on Holiday to Hong Kong for 3 days. The decision by the immirgration officer wasn't given until 5 mins before the plane was scheduled to take off. When she told the officer that here job was as a Waitress, the officer accused her of being a prositute. Hmmm....I wonder if I would have offered a VIP fee, would she have been allow to go. Something is Rotten at DMIA.
