Not the Airlines responsibility
If your leaving from CRK ( this is were it seems most people have the biggist issue) both 5J Cebu Pacific and DG Tiger Air have a warning on there websites about ensuring you have the correct travel documents
TIGER AIR WEBSITE
Philippine immigration requirement Besides having a passport validity of at least 6 (six) months, passengers are reminded to take note of the following requirements:
Overseas contract workers and permanent residence in a foreign country
Must have an Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) from the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), which can be obtained from the POEA Balik Manggagawa Processing Division. Passengers must have proof of permanent residence in a foreign country and a valid work permit card.
Passengers travelling with children below 18 years of age
Effective April 2006, minors travelling with 1 (one) parent have no need for DSWD Clearance. However, for minors travelling with an adult other than their parents (e.g. aunt, uncle, grandparents and others), a DSWD Clearance is required.
Passengers travelling as tourists
Must have their return flight confirmed (not more than 1 (one) month), and must have an invitation letter/affidavit of support from a sponsor that is dry sealed and duly authenticated by the Philippine Consulate office in a foreign country (original copy).
Invitation Letters
I have helped many Filipinas come to Hong Kong - however the old system of the passenger carrying an invitiation letter from the person in Hong Kong is not always enough for the immigration authorities in either CRK or MNL.
Sometimes your lucky and can pass through Philippine Immigration with no questions, thats half the problem - you still then need to justify to HKG immigration the intent of your stay - Technically your allowed 14day stay in HKG,however this is were the immigration officier may consider the purpose of your stay and whether or not you can finacially support yourself, and finally he needs to be satisfied that you will return back home.
What Philippines Immigration officiers are looking for is the Invitation letter that has been "Notarized by the Philippine Consulate" in the country where the sponcer or friend is living.
Take a look at the Phiipphine consulate website for Hong Kong ://---.philcongen-hk.com/notarials/main.htm
This is th typical form the consulate requires to be completed and notorised

na hold up na balikbayan sa loob ng NAI
8 yrs bago ako nakapagbakasyon sa Pinas, I was very happy to see all my friends and relatives. We bought and brought lots of Pilipino canned/dried foods at ibat ibang product ng pilipinas,. Pagdating namin sa NAI, sa check in sinabi sa amin ang pwede at di pweding dalhin sa carry on bag..... then nag check in kami sa Delta. Pumila sa mahabang bayaran ng Tax, pag dating namin sa 1st Scanner/xray. kinuha lahat ng canned goods namin sa carry on, di daw pwede yon, wala naman sa list na sinabi sa amin sa check in counter. tinapon nila kunyari sa trash can. Bon a petit sa inyung lahat. di pa rin nagbabago ang systema nyo.
Letdown
Some of the staff working at this airport reflect badly on the Philippines and the Filipino people. Going through the initial baggage scan at the entrance to the airport on the early afternoon of Friday, 6 December 2013, my bag got caught up in the conveyor belt and some of the items in it ended up under the mechanism. The staff member just stood to the side and directed me to retrieve them myself, which I tried to do and gave up on looking for a couple of items that were way too far for me to see or reach.
At 2:25 in the afternoon on Friday, 6 December 2013, I made my way down to Gate 9. I had to carry my carry-on luggage down a flight of stairs. Immediately before me was a male passenger. There was a male staff member sitting at the table to the entrance of Gate 9 who viewed passports and boarding tickets. The male passenger went on to the female staff members at another table for luggage check. The male staff member at the first table addressed the male passenger's back and said: 'Do you have a problem? You banged your passport and your luggage. Do you have a problem with us?' This, he said in a confronting, challenging manner. He then asked me if I was with the male passenger and I wasn't. I wondered whether it was any of his business if I was. I told him he was supposed to be courteous to passengers and proceeded to have my luggage checked.
Nowhere else in the civilised world where I have been (I have been to many countries) have I seen such behaviour and attitude from an airport staff member. It wasn't only confronting and rude, it also gives the Philippines and its normally lovely and accommodating people a bad image. Just when the rest of the world is rallying to help a small country down on its knees (Tacloban & Haiyan/Yolanda), behaviour like this by members of international airport staff members is unacceptable and shameful.

re: pocket money
You don't need to show huge amount, $500 will do. Just show the BID Officer that you have credit card, it is an add factor!
Planning to visit my boyfriend in macau
Hi ask ko lang if what i documents that i need to bring to be able to pass the immigration. Thankyou
Planning to see more...
I've only flown into/out of DVO once. This single runway airport is comparable to a small town U.S. runway. I am planning to return soon and I will be visiting the local flight school. Davao has modern amenities in the local area and is recommended as a place to check out.

Worst airport!
The immigration officers all suck! They are disrespectful to their fellow kababayan and would intimidate and humiliate you with so much questions as if you are a criminal when all you just wanted is to travel and enjoy life. I've never experienced that in any immigration even in abroad. just only in Clark! They are all acting as if their airport is high-class.
The saddest part is, because you have been interrogated and held a long time, the airplane leaves you! As if people are just raking money from the streets. Their hard-earned travel cost would just come to * , re-book a ticket 8-10 times the cost of your original plane ticket.
Come on DMIA! You make the Philippines worse. You're not even worth a single centavo of the big taxes i pay in BIR for your salary.
Worst ever! There's more irritation in the Philippines! And you are one of them!

Needs upgrade: Allowing larger aircraft to TAXI more progres
Needs upgrade: Lay more concrete for upgrade & expansion
re: Whats the status now???
I was at the airport 2 weeks ago. They are extending the runway on both ends, to a total of 2kms! While I was there I saw a Cessna 152 and Cessna 172 on the pattern and did touch and go's and occasional full stop taxi back. Flight training is common here with planes coming from Mactan, Ormoc and Dumaguete.
If an airline would come in to establish a regular route from Manila, it would need a high capacity jet like the A319 or A320 to have the cost per seat mile as competitive as Manila Cebu or Manila Tacloban. Another option is a commuter type aircraft like the ATR72 or the Bombardier Q400 flying out of Mactan.
Left Behind
Go to airports in countries in asia and get an indication just how backward this one is in Cebu.
Still have to pay departure fee not like other countries who have it inclusive in the airfare,forget any form of Wi Fi for free ,doesn't exist,taxis outside an absolute joke and no organisation.
When is the Philippines going to get off it's lazy backside and reach the world as it is now instead of trying to rip everybody off,amazes me it's a democracy and Vietnam is communist and no second guess who comes second in the capability stakes.

re: Need some help!
No need na ipa RED RIBBON ang hotel Voucher, see to it it is verifiable just in case they checked. Just show your passport and ticket. Kung walang hinihinging dokumento, wala kang dapat ipakita. You will only add documents if they asked for it. Good luck and God bless.
