OEC in DMIA
is there a POEA assistance in Clark airport? are they issuing OEC there? coz i dont have time here to go to the Phil consulate.
Kindly advice me..
I'm working now here in Spore for 6 months. Complete docs like SPass, contract and an OFW member. I would like to go back sa Phils. For vacation. Ang worry ko is this. Before ako pumunta dito, nahold sko sa immigration sa Clark coz of many questions ng immigration. I went here kasi as a tourist. And sa ofc ng immigration, I signed a document which is waiver yata na I should come back sa Phils. I was just lucky that time na nakaalis ako ksi nadala ko lumang passport ko na it showed na traveller din ako. My worry now is pag umuwi ako is mahold na naman ako or nde na ako makabalik dito sa Spore because dun sa pinirmahan ko na waiver. Can the immigration officer use that waiver para mahold ako sa pagbalik dito, even kumpleto na ako ng papers ko here? In fact before sana ako umuwi is kukuha na ako ng OEC ko. Gusto ko ksi mg vacation but I worry na nde na ako makabalik for my work here just because of the waiver na pinirmahan ko. Hope you can advice me.
re: This is on Philippine Consulate Website in HKG
PNOY Officials are one of the WORST... Look at De Lima, she defied the constitution on the TRO by the Supreme Court.. Now this problem on the right to travel again.. OMG are we going rock bottom again! Paging Commissioner David!
i wonder lang why nila hinaharang ang mga OFW to collect som
its my first time to go back pinas arriving on DM airport sa Clark. im bringing a tv which only 32 inch. I got stuck with the custody officer kasi daw ng exceed ng 10,000 ang dala ko sa dapat ako mgbyad ng tax for the tv i bought... i was shock sa total amount of tax... 15% custom tax + 12% vat = 27% total tax... Im not the only one who bring home tv during that time we are 5 in the plane some bringing 40,42 & 32 inch, but im the only one na hinarang and they ask me to go to the office to calculate ung babayaran ko.. If may policy kyo na gnyan i post nio sa Airport explaining ung mga tax na gusto nio ipabayad at hindi ung manual kyo ngcocompute halatado na ibubulsa nio lang ung makokolekta nio... At why of all mga kapwa nio Pinoy ang sinisingil nio samantalang ang dmi foreign na dapat singilin sa excess baggage plang masyado nio na pinapaboran ang ibang nation... Tingin ko hindi na kailangan pangalanan ang mga officer na ito kasi ito na ang normal na gawain ng mga matatakaw na officer dyan at alam na kung sino ang mga ito wla lng ngrereklamo formal sa maraming dahilan isa na dyan,ung abala sa pgsampa ng reklamo at sa huli mpupunta lng sa wala,.. Madami ng kalakaran dyan sana naman pgtuunan nio ng pansin kung importante talaga ang feedback ng mga ngbibiyahe papasok at palabas ng paliparang pang-daigdig sa clark...

Tourist off-loadings still raging at airports, by Jarious Bo
To those who have been victimized by the immigration officers at Clark airport, or NAIA, I am please to let you know that Jarious Bondoc of philstar.com have written about your situation. Please go to philstar.com and look for opinion. You can find Mr. Bondoc's article there. your comments under the column of Mr. Bondoc so more people will know about your sad experiences. I am a permanent resident abroad but what the Bureau of Immigration is doing under the guise of controlling human trafficking violates our constitution and it disgusts me. Do not allow this government to violate your basic right as a citizen because if you do, they will start chipping away more and more of our freedom. This Aquino administration is not about democracy as we can see.

re: Bureau of Immigration (BI) Officer Michael Vincent Dizon
As I was surfing the net, I was totally shocked by reading this. I am sorry for what happened. I am a new officer of BI Intramuros. Should you gave me your contact number or e-mail so we can talk in private. You can visit me at our office 2nd floor, room 4, located in intramuros. Look for Ynah.
I hope this could be settled asap.
Bureau of Immigration (BI) Officer Michael Vincent Dizon of
This morning, I have experienced the worst nightmare in flying abroad. I'd been travelling in and out of the country (our native land - Philippines) as an OFW since May 1986 and I never experienced what this DMIA BI Officer Mr. Michael Dizon did with my passport. Mr Dizon broke my passport into two piece on suspicion that my passport was tampered. Do this BI Immigration has the capacity to break the passport based on their suspicion? They did not even allow me to have my passport instead issue me a receipt that they confiscate my passport for validation or verification. The passport was the latest Digital Passport that DFA issued to all Filipino who wishes to work abroad or visits countries outside Philippine territory.
Today 10October2011, is my flight to go to Singapore as a Tourist or on pleasure trip.
I just used my passport to go to Azerbaijan last June 2010 to work as an OFW under Salini Costrutti company. Eventually when I was in Azerbaijan... Salini want me to work in the company's project in Ukraine and arrange me a Ukraine Visa. As per contract I have no choice but go to Ukraine. But because of the weather condition in Ukraine (that reached -36deg-cent) during the winter I decided to resign my job and goes back to Philippine last Sept 28 2011.
A friend of mine learned what happened, and invited to visit Singapore to take a break that I agree and I booked flights to Singapore (round trip for 3weeks stay in Singapore). And today I was supposed to leave and this incident happened. I was really shocked... if only I knew that this officer will tore down my passport to two piece... hindi na sana ako tumuloy...
Mr. Dizon does not seems to realize how hard to get a passport these days... If he really have suspicion that my passport was tampered he can just easily call DFA-Clark to validate or verify this passport that was just recently used abroad...or simply send it to DFA untouched.
Id been seeking government offices that can help me with this incident and hope I can find someone who can really help me to stop these inhumane act of BI officers, not to mention that I am a native of this country and been an OFW since 1986 of no bad records at all...
re: hopeful
Problema talaga ang pag lipad sa Singapore ngayun, my father supposed to travel in singapore for a 4 days vacation, but then this fucking immigration hold his papers saying that those weren't enough! my father has with him his passport and a ticket and a payed hotel accommodation.
PI Immigration
I am a British guy who travels out of Clark every week. Fortunatly i have a good job which allows such frequent travel. Even myself travelling with a girlfriend on a PI passport was interogated by these arseholes who think they represent PI immigration. I myself was recently stopped on arrival and questioned to why I travel so often. Have tried to seek legal advise, however PI immigration are trying to arselike the USA on Child trafficiking claims, so unfortunatly all travel is now being looked at. unfortuantly every Filipino who has the right to leave a free country is being discriminated.
Basically all philippine consulates around the world have a procedure for issuing avadavid support is a person wants to visit that country if friends are there. The difficulty is when a Filipino want to visit a country as a tourist.
On the Tiger Airways website they mention about this .
Unfortunatly until the USA believes thePI has human trafficiking under control, this discrimanation of travellers will continue.
re: nakakatakot
Mas grabe pa itong administration ni Pnoy kaysa kay Gloria. Ang ginagawa ng Bureau of Immigration is against the constitution. The right to travel is guaranteed in the constitution. All of you who have been victimized by the immigration should write to your favorite columnist or radio announcer to write and discuss about this in the media. Mike Enriquez of GMA is a good one and also Jarius Bondoc of Phil Star. Good luck to all!
re: hopeful
Business permit, Hotel booking is enough and other ticket that would like to visit.. no need for invitation Letter if you have already have business in Phils. definitely you will coming back in the Phils..
hopeful
Hi guys! ano normally hinihingi nilang proof? My parents are flying to Singapore on Sept 19. Sa mga nakaalis po, anong pinakita nyong mga documents. Is an invitation letter enough? As I follow the thread pati ata business permit dapat magdala den sila.. Please share what docs required and anong mga proof ang kaylangan. Thanks!
re: complain:Diosdado Macapagal International Airport

re: complain:Diosdado Macapagal International Airport

re: Immigration Officers, Clark, Philippines
OMG.
you're a tourist for 4 days and they're looking for Overseas Employment Certificate?
This is an U N B E L I E V A B L E and VERY DISGUSTING story about these immigration officer in DMIA.
re: Vacation to Hongkong
we should. If we just close our eyes to this, more and more filipinos will be taken advantaged of this confusing system. Hindi pinupulot ang pera pambili ng ticket sa eroplano so sana ang ating gobyerno ay maging maingat hindi lamang sa pag reject ng mga kahina hinalang tao kundi mag ingat din sa pag reject sa mga pilipinong bumabiyahe ng may malinis na passport at visa.
Its not just Filipinos the immigration officials are rude to
Last Friday 5th August, I was stopped by these rude immigration officials and asked why i travel so frequently to the Philippines.. the tosser with the name like Tarrentino. Young arrogant piece of shit..The idiot could not understand i lived in HKG and travelled frequently. Eventually after 25mins let me in..
re: TO OUR PRESIDENT
Yes, you are so right about this. Criminals and/or wanted people are and were able to make lusot from BI officials at the airports. I wonder why
re: Vacation to Hongkong
hi..were you able to fly hongkong?how was the immigration officers here in clark?manila?
thank you..God bless
Vacation to Hongkong
I'll be going to HK this friday. I've stumbled upon this site, and i have to admit that i'm now scared of stepping to that airport. What if the immigration officers deny me of going to HK? what should i do? What should i say? This is my first out of the country vacation. Help me. :|
re: Immigration Officers, Clark, Philippines
Not only in Diosdado Macapagal Airport but also NAIA Terminals in Manila. Halos lahat yata ng officers ng immigration naghi hintay na lang ng mabi biktimang passengers mostly mga first timers. First hand experience, yung makakapal ang mukha diretsahang hihingi talaga ng pera sa yo bago ka i allow maka pasok. MArami ding akong kakilalang nabiktima nitong mga magnanakaw nato.

I have no plans of working there, just for vacation and visit my girlfriend who is working there.I am afraid of your grievances.If those hassles will also happen on me...Let us unite to report this matter.

Liberty of Travel shall not be deprived unless hold departure order was issued against the person. (Article 3 Bill of Rights of 1987 Phil. Constitution)
re: Immigration Officers, Clark, Philippines
Early this morning my cousin was about to leave Philippines going to Singapore, He was escorted by one of our cousins.
Unfortunately, the immigration officer hold him because he don't have OEC, how can my cousin have this kind of document
if he is no longer working abroad? and FYI the so-called OEC is not compulsary but of voluntarily! it is only an opportunity
for overseas filipino workers to avail free-travel tax and free-terminal fee. please note that Singapore is an open country
and every Filipino have the right to enter this country without hassle. and you have no right to hold Filipinos who want to
travel ASIAN countries unless! they carry drugs and illegal weapons with them. these are the proper grounds to hold tourists.
imagine how much we spent to buy AIR TICKET? and to rent a VAN? hello immigration officer please be considerable!
i want my money back...
i have the same problem with two of the immigration officer in clark pampanga last year november 23. they refuse me to fly to bankok.. they were asking lots and lots of things.. id's and ect... poea thing coz i am an ofw in UAE.... which i dont have because i will only fly to bangkok for my holiday.. and visit my cousin who gave birth last october., i am very much confident to myself that they wont refuse me because i am a flyer.. i visited bangkok many times.. not only bangkok.. i've been too many places in asia and middle east plus i have enough cash on my hand. but still they did not let me in. and worst thing is they don't give a refund on my ticket...i thought that it would at least be okay if they refund my tickets because of their misconduct. one of the guy from travel tax desk ask me.. and said ( di ba may kasama kang foreigner kanina, bakit na off load ka? ) that is the worst thing talaga... bakit kailangan ba may kasama kang foreigner para lang makapagcheck in makapag board or what? ganun na ba talaga kababa ang tingin ng mga pilipino sa ating kapwa pilipino? kaya walang asenso ang pilipinas kasi pinipigilang umasenso.
i went back home... and think and think and think...
and now i will go back to philippines and file a case to them.. sana lang magtanda sila.., good thing i still have my itenerary receipt.
To all the immigration Officer
palitan na ang mababahong immigration officer!!!!!!kawawa lang ang mga kababayan natin na naiinsulto at naaberya dahil kagagawan ng mga mabahong mga officer jan...HINDI KAU MAKATARUNGAN...
Immigration Officers, Clark, Philippines
I experienced the same thing yesterday with Immigration officers of Clark. They were looking for OEC which i don't have any knowledge of. And when i researched as I arrived here in my province, it's an exit clearance that "I have undergone the legal and right procedure for overseas employment". What???? I won't go to Singapore to work, I will just have my 4 days vacation with my son and we will visit my sister.
They are allowing my son to travel they won't allow me. My son can travel without any invitation from my sister? But because I have resident visa from other country, I couldn't travel? What kind of law we have here in the Philippines? So they've put there "voluntary off-loaded for my son". What do you expect, my son won't travel without me. He's just turned 18 for heaven's sake.
My concern is, they should have had put in the documents what we need to secure before travelling in the ticket or wherever. Not ask us documents that we need to bring as we about to board on the plane. I traveled 3 hours from our province and because it's an early check in I need to rent a van going there which cost me P3,500, only to be "off-loaded" by this stupid immigration officer.
I hope Philippine government take notice of this.
re: Immigration Officers, Clark, Philippines
Have you reported your concern to the Bureau of Immigration's main office in Intramuros, Manila? If not, try to report the incident to the Office of the Commissioner. Those Immigration Officers (IO's) should be stopped from doing the same thing to other travellers originating from Clark Airport. It gives a very negative image of our country and our people. You can access the site of Bureau of Immigration - Philippines to air your concern. Try A/Comm. Roy Almoro.
Immigration Officers, Clark, Philippines
Immigration officers in Clark, Philippines are very stiff, that we are known to be friendly people but immigration officers are unlikely to be friendly. Even some are racists, I understand their line 0f job is to make sure that they may let the right people comes in and out of the country but excellent customer service should as well be exhibited with the welcoming attitude even though there will be confrontational circumstances. Filipinos are known to be respectful but not these immigration officers. Apparently, I've been on and off to different airports and most immigration officers are really friendly and helpful.

re: complain
yes what u all have said are true. my niece was interrogated by one of the officer and denied going to singapore without any explanation. when the officer ask her if she have money to bring and my niece said yes 20k then the officer said he won't let her go. maybe he want to have some share of my niece show money and when my niece ask y she cannot go he didn't explain anything. my niece is innocent that's why it didn't click to her mind that maybe the officer need lagay. (bribe)
My Current "Home base"
This former USAF installation is now run by a hybrid government-commercial development corporation. in addition to hosting many ground-based industries, casinos, hotels and recreatioal facilities it is being built up as a major international airport, slated to be linked to Manila via high-speed commuter rail and US-standard expressways ala the current Hong Kong airport.
If you zoom in just to the east of the approach end of runway 02R you'll see the separate runway and hangar facilities of Omni Aviation a busy flight school and FBO situated in the former home of the Clark AB Aero Club ... and an excellent place to base if you're in the Philippines. best of both worlds ... fly out of a major international airport but with your own runway and facilities.
