How to get there in Banaue Rice Terraces ?
I would like to ask if how to get to Banaue Rice Terraces after departing from Loakan Airport ?
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.
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: 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

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

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 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.

re: It needs lighting also!
there should be cheaper flights. considering there are flights in Laoag going to manila for only Php999.
Php2,500.00 is just so expensive.
inquiry
did the flight push thru???
Hello guys.
Hello guys... Is Vigan Airport the First airport in Northern Luzon? When it was established? Dr. Rabena of UNP, Do you have some info regarding this pls?
Flight schedule
Can we know the flights schedules of SEAIR? Thanks it has been advertized in the SEAIR website. More info please. MAny passengers and tourists are interested. Is it daily or thrice a week? More power SEAIR! Welcome to Vigan! This is Dr. Alfredo Rabena.
It needs lighting also!
Yes, I suggest the lighting s that it will be functional night and day and I believe a control tower for wider navigation. This was the first airport in the north.
Upgraded already!
I have seen to be capable of handling flights already. It is well paved, secured with a perimeter fence all around the airport. There was commercial before prior to the upgrading and we heard of SEAIR coming ! First flight is Feb. 25, 2011! Thanks ! This airport serves llocos Norte, Abra, La Union and Ilocos Sur. There is no airport in Abra, just 20 min away from Vigan. I wll be AN ECONOMIC EVENT to watch because of the commercial flights.
re: Legaspi City International Airport
I am confused on the location of the Legazpi international airport, I believe it is not located in legazpi but in Daraga. The map shown is the existing domestic airport, who put this here ? be sure of what you are doing ha!!!!
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.
job opening
kelan po mag job opening sa southern luzon international airport?
looking for a job!!
gwa kayang vacant position jan for aircraft mechanic kung skali??
re-opening of Maasin Airport...
it should be a big boost for the city if the airport opens for commercial flight.there has been some news that the airport has been renovated.
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: Clark Air Base
Actually if Philippine Airlines buy A380,it originates at CRK,after DMIA expansion project,MNL will be closed and CRK is the international gateway of Philippines.I live at Pasay City so if MNL will close it will affect Metro Manila and consume 2 hrs trip to CRK so i hope MNL will not close.
BPR closure
The airport is still closed because it lacks of runway signs.......But the nearest airport in operation is Tacloban(TAC)....Guiuan Airport is also closed but the locals said the airport will be operational soon.
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)

re: Will Borongan Fly Again?
i hope God willing, borongan airport will be operational again. and this will be for a long haul. for all ESTEHANONS, let's hope and pray and do what we can to make this possible. maybe we have to put politics aside first and be united to make borongan airport operational. as one airline company said in their ads," bakit sasakay ka pa sa bus, mag airbus ka na"
Is the airport open?
I'm booking the flight to Boracay, but heard the airport is closed for renovation, just wondering when will it be reopen again

— Anonymous Flyer at Clark International Airport / Clark Air Base, Philippines
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.
