re: Bureau of Immigration (BI) Officer Michael Vincent Dizon

Hope this can help, All Philippine Consulates in Asia offer a service to provide...Duly Notarized Letter of Invitation (Affidavit of Invitation) from a Sponsor Abroad..

Even with all the documents that you supplied, the person leaving PI may or may not get stopped by immigration.

Take a look at the Philippine Consulate for Malaysia - look under consulate services - h---://---.philembassykl.org.my/

Why? Is there a tower already in the said airport? Where is it located? Yes, if there is one then it could be an international standards already!

re: Immigration Officers

I am also facing the same issue with my wife. They are asking for a Filipino who is a resident of Malaysia to raise a invitation letter. Frankly, i do not know anyone in such capacity moreover no strange would stick their head to guarantee another stranger. This procedure is so full of shit! The Phil embassy in malaysia have no right to stop a Malaysian in his own country to invite his wife to his homeland. For GOD sake, this is my dam country!!!!

Immigration Clark Airport Philippines

To Hon. Loretta Rosales,

I wrote to you dear Hon. Loretta, Just this morning my Cousin in-law had been refused to pass exit to immigration may mga document invitation letter na hawak..dahil sa misis ko na may sakit dito sa Singapore at hindi maalagaan ang aming anak kaya nais namin na papuntahin sya upang kahit 2-linggo ay makatulong. pero ito ay nangyari na nman na ayaw sya palabasin dyan sa immigration pangalang beses na nangyari sa kanya. marami sa ating mga kababayan ang nagrereklamo sa maling patakaran ng immigration. masama ang loob ko dahil sa gumastos kmi ng pamasahe nya at ito ay nabalewa lang..hindi ganun kadali kumita ng pera dito sa ibang bansa..sana ay makatulong itong sulat ko at mapaabot sa inyo upang aksunan ang ginagawa ng mga tauhan nyo dyan.

longer runway!

well, if this is the reason then I heard over the radio in Vigan that local officials already announced the start of construction. I hope and pray that this be done the earliest time coz malls in Vigan are overtakingly sprouting one after the other. Meaning people are coming heavily to Vigan, the cultural and commercial center, and the center of politics and religion! The church in Vigan is an Archdicoese.

Picture of

reasons for commercial flights to come

Vigan is the old Ciudad Fernandina, the ecclessiastical center of the North, center of education, trade and commerce, a UNESCO protected cultural heritage, it was declared by UNESCO which no one is a UNESCO City except for Vigan. Vigan City is a metropolitan surrounded by 5 municipalities. It is the third oldest city / settlement in the Philippines which is manifested by the old commercial districts and residential structures . It is a tourist center and destination. It is so close to the province of Abra having no airport.

Picture of

Upgrading

needs to put lights along the runway, a tower and a big terminal to attract airlines to operate. Vigan is a very strategic location economically, in military & air defense, because Vigan lies at the shores of the West Philippine Sea near Macau, Hon Kong, Hanoi, Bangkok , Ho Chi Minh (Vietnam).

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...

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: What made Bacolod-Silay Airport and "International"?

Bacolod-Silay was built to "international" standards, hence the designation "International". But it is only domestic airport. Depending on where you are booking from, generally, the gateway to the Philippines is through Manila. There are regional flights landing at Clark, some miles north of Manila and also at Cebu, central Philippines.

So far, Bacolod-Silay needs a runway lengthening to be able to accommodate long range, heavy jets like the B747 or the A-340. That is why there are no direct international flights coming into BCD. Clark and Cebu are former US airbases and are long enough to accommodate even a C-5.

Some airlines have codeshare agreements with Philippine Airlines and Cebu-Pacific which allow them to book seats giving the impression that they fly into those cities but these are actually fulfilled by the local airline counterparts. I hope I was able to address your question.

Picture of

What made Bacolod-Silay Airport and "International"?

I am a resident abroad and when my company book a flight for me it all boils down to Manila Airport only or Termninal, 1, 2 or 3; but never Bacolod. Their reason is because Bacolod-Silay is not an international airport but a domestic airport only. Is Cathay pacific, Qatar, Emirates, Gulf Air, Lufthansa and other international carriers landed or departed Bacolod-Silay International Airport yet?

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: 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.

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.
