For the comments saying "ginagawa lang nila ang trabaho nila" being RUDE is not part of their job. :) They should improve it and siguro mag travel rin mga IO natin kahit sa SEA countries lng para makita nila yung level ng COURTESY sa mga IO nila. We can do better or hire better IO officers.
no need na,its best barilin na lang mga io sa ulo
@@ultramax6442hahahaha 😅
@@ultramax6442😂😂😂😂 lalo kung power tripping
They are very rude and condescending to none Manila filipinos.
The Immigration Office of the Philippines should be with the modern times. People regardless of status, as long as you can afford can travel. We are a little over a day away from 2023, and we should be accommodating to people who are travelling. Filipinos shouldn’t be too strict and too doubtful to fellow Filipinos. We need to trust our Kababayan.
It's inconvenient and quite a hassle to be questioned by immigration officers, but this has a purpose: IOs are tasked to screen possible human trafficking victims. And in the Philippines, the most frequent victims of human trafficking are single Filipino women. These victims' common excuse is they are traveling with family (who are really human traffickers). Many Filipino women are also duped by foreign scammers/boyfriends who book everything, but who intend to turn Filipino women into trafficking victims. The IOs' almost cruel/harsh line of questioning is a necessary evil. Thousands of Filipino women who are potential human trafficking victims have been saved by IOs.
@@groundswellmultimedia7279This is true po. 🙏
Hnd Rin sa akin medyo matagal na ung travel ko sa Hongkong. Pro totoo Wala masyado tinanong sa akin.pro Sabi ko may sponsor Ako ung mother inlaw ko.na opera sa breast kaya two weeks. kailangan Ng family sa ospital na mag aalga.
And they should stop discriminating, too.
i agree...constitutional rights ng bawat filipino magtravel as long wala sila hold departure order at can afford nila...walang karapatan yang mga immigration officer na yan mag question ng sobra sobra at maghanap ng kung ano ano papeles...nangyari na sakin yan...dumating pa sa punto na gusto nilang ilabas pocket money ko...nilabas ko...tapos sabi ko me problema ho ba?..wala silang masilip..andung sinundan sundan pa ako nung isang IO...sinamaan ko nga ng tingin
Happened to us when I brought our kasambahay/yaya back to Thailand with us (from PH). She got pulled out, they took away her boarding pass, sent her to the interview room (so many people waiting there). We spared 3 hrs before flight time and this happened and we almost missed our flight! My baby was also crying so hard that yaya was missing and was in the interview room. They gave the reason that it was her "First time travelling aboard" and suspected for employment there :( duhh.. after a long wait I have to show the immi staff our photos together and everything. They also made me sign a document confirming that I will be sponsoring her financially during the trip and that I will bring her back to the Philippines. It was so damn annoying and I didn't expect this will happen at all. I mean.. why would you stop your people from travelling out of the country??? as long as they can afford it and have proper documents. It should be the responsibility of the destination country whether to let them in the country or send them back.
agree!
Hi! I would like to ask if you or your helper remembers the questions she asked. I am planning to bring our helper as well. I may need your help.
What documents did your helper bring?
@@paulacarissakintanar2304 Hi Paul! We didn't prepare any documents rather than our ticket/returning ticket (and passport) cuz we didn't know at that time that there is such thing like what PH immi is doing. They mainly focused on asking about how long she has been living with us/working for us, her work experience etc., (in my case she has been a kasambahay in my partner's family for 13 years) and then the BI interviewed me (employer). I got asked same question, how long she's been with us etc., (they just wanna make sure she's not lying I guess). I was also asked to show our photos together from my phone. Then I was asked to sign a document saying that I'll be supporting her financially through out the trip and will bring her back to the Philippines. Before letting us go the BI also told me that everything I signed is binding and that I will have to bring her back... hope this helps!
@Amy J Thank you so much! By the way, may I ask if you and your helper were called for the second interview?
It happened worse to my sister. She was 50 years old then. I bought a ticket for her to visit me in one of the countries in South east Asia where I migrated. She was denied travel by the immigration so she just went home and never tried to visit me since then. It’s so unjustifiable that a 50 year old is not allowed to go on holiday. Horrible immigration officers.
True, sobrang nakakababa ng dignidad na ung mga nagtatravel lang at uuwi din hindi makaalis dahil dyan sa mga un educated na BIO. Samantalang nalulusutan sila out of nowhere papuntang ibang bansa ng di dumadaan sa kanila. Mga kupal!
O my... that's so sad. Ako kasi ipinaglaban ko yung pag travel ng sister ko nag email pa ako sa Jetstar noon ...muntik na talaga sya ma offload ayaw sya payagan kainis. Parang karamihan sa mga IO hindi nakapag abroad para makita nila ang mga IO sa ibang bansa ...hindi naman katulad ng sa atin ... parang mga nag pa power trip.
@@marisolgloriani7481 nadali nyo Ma'am. Power tripping sila. Squammy ng ugali.
Pati 50 years old di pa pinatawad, ang gagaling talaga ng IO. Pinaka cause kasi nito ung mga nag ttnt at human trafficking pati tuloy mga turista damay, hay pilipinas kong mahal napakagaling na bansa
@@marisolgloriani7481this, power trip sila. Di naman ganyan sa ibang bansa 🤦🏻♀️
Just as a tip, if you are traveling as a group, especially if may kasama kayo na first time traveler, line up to just one IO para mas madali for them to validate and for you din to prove na magkakasama kayo. The more experienced/frequent traveler should be the first one to go and mention na kasama nya yung mga kasunod nya. 😊
Thank you sa tip.First time kasi namin mag travel ng family this year papuntang Taiwan.So dapat pala sa isang IO lang kami pumila kasi sponsor ko husband ko dahil unemplyed ako.I pray na maging mabait ang IO sa amin.
@@myraestrada9822 yes, sa isang IO na lang kayo pumila. 😊 although wag kayo sabay sabay na makipag usap sa window ng IO kasi isa isa talagang kinakausap but pwede kayong nasa likod lang ng isa’t isa para isang IO lang kakausap sa inyong lahat. Taiwan din ang first ever international travel ko and solo pa ko nun, and mabait yung IO na natapat sakin, sana sa inyo din. Happy travel! 😊
paano po na in one line? Pano po pag vacant na sa ibang officer, tapos 2 kayo, hindi ba i force ipa pila yung kasama doon sa kabila na vacant?
This wouldnt work, You should go to the next vacant IO. pede lang kayo sa isang IO kung immediate family kayo. 2nd-degree relative or friends/colleagues do not apply.
@@aethann024 it did for us tho (friend group and colleagues) and for some other people i know
Hi, sorry to hear about the immigration hassle that you went through. That happened to me 2x couple years back. I was questioned, pulled to the side and been interrogated. It wasn't my first time to travel and in fact, I had an education visa. I had to call on someone I knew abroad to attest that I have been going in and out of the country for educational purposes. I hope our government leaders will pay attention to this kind of complaints because I felt like I was a criminal being questioned. They look down on their fellow citizens especially if you're just dressed plainly. Sad.
Marami kasing TNT abroad which is nakakahiya. Sad but True
@@bisugzzz It's true kaya lang nadadamay yung others na truthful sa pakay ng travel.
Grabe tlfa ang mga tga immigration ng pinas jusko.
@@bisugzzz kahit ano pa ang purposed ng isang tao going abroad hindi sila dapat maging brutal kung kumpleto sa requirements ang pasahero wala silang dahilan para mag offload the saddest truth dito e kaya sila nangooffload para mapilitan ang pasahero na magbayad ng exit pass which the amount depends on where the passenger is bound which they collect 100k for destination eu for each head
@Tomi Igo so? Ano kinalaman ng mexicanos sa topic ang issue dito kaya nag ooffload sila kasi maraming illegal workers mula dito sa bansa nila kaya may basbas yan ng japan. Kung walang tnt walang mangooffload. Ganun lang kasimple.
Aside from confidence and preparedness, complete documents and honesty ..it really helps a lot for first time travellers na may kasamang sanay na magtravel.
Nung first time ko mag-abroad, hiningi lang company ID ko, which is dala ko naman. Ayun lusot na at wala nang ibang tanong.
exactly! yung asawa ko pa naman bago pa passport. kukunin ko siya as dependent ko. eto yung winoworry ko, PH immigration.
Re orientation and psychological test for these IO.
Agree on this. My first time travel was with my friend and her officemates. Well traveled sila and one of her officemates even suggested na ako daw paunahin sa pila tapos likod ko yung friend ko para pagtinanong kung sino kasama ko matuturo ko pa yung friend ko. Sakto sa ibang line naman yung officemates nya kaya parang naging guarantor ko rin sila. Ayun nakalusot. 😂 Pero totoo, yung IO parang nang popowertrip na lang
Dapat cguro ibahin na sistema ng pagtravel para wala ng maooffload. Alisin na ang immigration area sa airport at mgkaron sila ng separate office kung saan kukuha ng permit to travel ang mga gustong magabroad prior to booking or buying their tickets. Yung permit to travel irerequire ng mga airlines for booking the tickets. Maiiwasan lahat ng hassle at magiging mabilis ang checkin and boarding ng passengers sa airport.
I have the same experience back 2019. I was to return to New Zealand and at the time I had an Open-Work Permit which was explained to me by POLO-New Zealand that I do not require an OEC since I was not sponsored by any company in New Zealand. I presented my visa and company certificate and insurances that pretty much covers everything or anything to happen to me abroad. Pinabalik balik ako sa desk ng POEA hanggang sa sumama na sakin yung nasa desk just to tell IO na hindi ko kailangan yung document na hinahanap nila. Walang modo and arogante yung IO na nag assist sakin. Kaya nakakawalang gana umuwi dahil ang hassle.
This is the reason why I never went home
Dapat talaga mareporma BI thanks to Cham naglabasan ng mga victims❤
Sorry to hear this. Maraming BASTOS sa ating BOImmigration. Please file the necessary complaints.
True
agree.. kahit kumpleto lahat ng requirements pag di ka nila feel di ka palulusuti. pagpapasapasahan ka pa😡
Sometimes i understand rin po yung mga immigration officers, meron talagang mga nag TTNT pero kawawa rin yung tunay na tourist nana ooffload, ang daming nagastos at hirap sa nasayang na time, pinag ipunan rin ng matagal yung pera para sa tour
Dapat po talaga I complain
yes akala mo mga bobo kausap, kawawa minsan kasi OFW na nga susungitan pa
Pag kayo magttravel magbabarkada or mag ppimsan ,pamilya ,lagi kayo sa iisang Immigration officer lang , tapos ssbihin nyo na may mga kasama kayo, better kung ang flight booking nyo iisa lang (sa iisang papel) .If may mag nag aasist sa pag pila lagi nyo ssbihn na may mga kasama kayo ,para di kayo hiwahiwalay. lalo kung first timer kayo.
Hi po, ok lg po ba talaga magkasabay papunta sa IO? Kasi yung iba sinasabi nila bawal tapos yung iba sabi nila pwede naman dw magkasabay. Sure po pwede po? Hehe salamat😅
Piece of advice po: kung Pag harap na po sa IO greet him / her good day and look an eye to eye gesture . Wag masyadong magalaw if being asked of something. It doesn’t show confidence. Be natural when you answer. And better to memorize important details in your trip. Minsan nga tinatanong pa yung bday ng kasama mo Sa trip . Basta Relax lang when answering.
Same advice as that's what I did when I first went out of the country to UK. Greeted the IO, smile then was very respectful and direct answer to the questions walang paligoy ligoy.
It wasn’t my first time traveling, all my documents are complete. I’m a business owner and since I have been reading a lot about “IO horror stories” have completed all the documents even printed it just to be sure. I have travelled with my boyfriend who’s also my business partner, pero since nauna ako akala ata mag TnT ako since akala niya solo lang ako na babae.
There were a lot of questions but the worst is the IO asked to look at my online bank history and checked recent transactions pa, to see how much it has, then when the IO saw it, he asked why it has “too much”.
I understand they’re are just doing their job, but I agree with Sir JM that maybe they could ask us questions nicely naman minsan, medyo rude kasi yung pagtatanong minsan.
Hindi ba sya too much to check your soa? Balance is okay, but transaction history.. is it legally allowed?
Wow oa pina open pa harap harapan paano kung may mapindot cya dyan na mali sagutin nya ba 🙄
This is what I hate about Philippine immigration, sometimes they're also the cause of why you miss your flight just because of their chechebureche, and they think they're better than you, they discriminate if they know they can intimidate you. My parents have worked abroad for 30 years and they always dread the thought of going through the immigration leaving Philippines. some IOs would keep on badgering you on what and why you're going back to the country you're staying, eh you're working nga there with a valid work visa, basa basa rin, hindi lng daming tanung =.= tapos kung foreigner mga sipsip naman sila 🙄🙄🙄
I remember nung nag-guest si Pacquiao sa Knowing Bros sa Korea, si Sandara ang interpreter niya dun nung first segment. Sabi ni Sandara kung superstar number one daw si Pacquiao, superstar number two daw siya. kasi daw sa immigration pag bumabalik siya sa Pinas kilala agad siya with matching bati pa sa kanya ng first name. Mga Pinoy minsan kahit saan basta foreigner may bias eh.
@@mgclef meron talaga. Walang questions kung ang passenger ay foreigner.
@@Mystearicia kaya wag tayong magalit kapag ang Pinas, taguan ng mga foreigner na mafia sa foreign shows kasi alam mo na
Pag tayong pinoy gusto mag travel parang ayaw nila tayo paalisin sa immigration daming tanong daming duda,pero pag ibang lahi pumasok sa bansa natin hindi ganun ka hirap sa kanila..
tama, ending dami nakakapasok na mga nag illegal sa bansa
I have experienced the same intimidation. have been interogated a lot too when I left for Italy (with a Schengen visa that is not easy to acquire) and I have been to a couple of Asian countries before that trip which includes visa countries. Super strict nila hindi lang sa first time travelers kundi sa mga solo travelers. Good thing I am well prepared with the same documents na sinubmit ko when I applied for the Schengen visa so kahit igisa nila ako ng tanong, wala silang mahahanap na reason para i offload ako. I even showed my bank statement which I felt uncomfortable at first. It was horrifying for me because she was making me feel that she was doubtful that I can afford to travel to Europe. I just dont understand why they are doing that, seems to me that they are power tripping. Only in the Philippines. Samantalang sa entry ko Italy, isang tanong lang and I am already good to go.
power tripping
power tripping or money tripping?😀
Ang OA masyado sa Philippines, very toxic... I don't know what's the point for interrogation.
@@eddyjayarsinahon8433 update: nakalagpas po Ako sa immigration. Wala masyadong tanong
Marami kasing instances na nagtotourist kunyari sa europe pero magwwork tlga. Actual example kakilala ko may anak sya nagpunta sa france via agency nagbayad sila ng almost 1M for her to get a job there then nadetain yun anak nya almost 1month sa immigration ng france.siempre may backer na agency nakalusot at nkapag work nang legit sa france. Pera pera lang pinagana siempre. Yan ang ayaw mangyari ng DFA kaya mahigpit ang mga IOs dahil may penalty sila na babayaran if yun pinalusot nila nagwork or nagTNT sa pinuntahang bansa.
Sa mga napapanood kong documentaries sa borders or airport lalo na sa western countries, sobrang higpit pero napaka polite and courteous ng dating. Dito sa pinas ang yayabang na akala mo sila ang may ari ng pilipinas
Agree!
I like the three of them- down-to-earth, di mayabang, funny....Vanessa should not be treated that way. She deserved to be respected as a woman and as a Filipino citizen. Good luck on your next travel, guys.🥰
I had an international travel recently, the first time since 2013. Thankfully, my experience was okay, the IO asked 3 questions, all of which were reasonable. I went prepared since I was traveling solo-I printed all the documents they might ask for. The only one I showed was my course outline, she didn't ask for it but I gave it to her. She asked for the date of my return, then stamped my passport.
Thank you for sharing your immigration horror story. May mga IO pa rin kasing ignorante. In this time and age, digital copies of airline tickets, boarding passes, hotels bookings, etc are acceptable. Also, you don't have to carry or present your birth certificate in the airport when you have a biometric passport. The IO seemed to be suspecting Vanessa and the legitimacy of your holiday travel. With regards to the IO's behaviour and manner of questioning, it's like Psy Ops. Unfortunately, she/he was wrong. They need more experience and training in trying to differentiate the legit travellers with legal docs from those who are not. Sad to say, marami din kasing nakalusot sa kanila.
can't blame IO as part of their job to screen travellers. Madami victim ng human trafficking, drug mule at illegal recruitment sa Pilipinas kaya mahigpit sila sa 1st time traveller. Hindi yan kaya iaasa sa technology lang. Siguro kung bumaba ang number ng TNT pinoy abroad luluwag ang immigration natin.
Only in the Philippine na ang Airport natin naghahanap ng birth certificate, its so sad😥😥
For me, printing documents have 2 purposes. 1. Easy to present. 2. You have a backup just in case you lose you phone or masira ang phone mo. I also have the info in my phone. I always print my necessary documents for "Just in case" scenario. Most IO are just being thorough kasi as other posters said- because of Human trafficking and they also know that Filipinos are (unfortunately) known for being TNT's. I was scrutinized by HK IO one time many years ago. I asked the IO if there is an issue. They said I have the same name of a criminal in HK. After that, na cleared na ako.
ano ano po ba ang mahahalagang dapat ipa print na documents pag nag ttravel abroad?
Mahigit mangulimbat
Yang screening talaga dyan sa airport ang nagti-trigger ng anxiety ko no matter how many times I’ve travelled outside the country. You never know baka wala sa mood matapat na IO eh lol.
I guess they really grilled you guys kasi 1st time nyo and HK pa kung saan madaming kunyari magbabakasyon pero di na bumabalik.
true po . ako din kahit ilang travel na ako kinakabahan pa rin ako
Thank you for sharing your horror experience with Philippine Immigration, nakakalungkot talaga sobra higpit nila sa Filipino travelers
I was diagnosed with depression after the passing of my mother and my doctor advised me to travel for leisure. It's my first time trip abroad.
The IO asked for a proof and good thing I took a photo of the diagnosis months ago signed by my psychiatrist.
He said he graduated as a nurse and understood my medical condition. He suddenly changed his manner of speaking, from interrogation to a more casual conversation.
I told him I got really stressed out because of the stuff he asked from me.
He gladly told me to proceed to the next stage.
At the back of my mind, I'm thinking..maybe he's afraid that I might commit suicide in case I got offloaded..^-^
what if may mangyari na ganyan.... ano na mga IO natin di ka nga pumatay nang tao.. pero part of the crime ka parin
@@raymundenso I agree. They should also think not only of the welfare or safety of the passenger but most of all, the mental health of the person they're interrogating. Better to hire IOs who took Psychology or the likes because they are kinder and has an expertise in reading people.
@@Lily-ut7pbthis might sound funny but they want to act like the are above the law... So let's change the job requirement. It should be PolSci/Attorney/Ex-DOJ/Ex-SC or Ex-Police... Wahehehhee
@@raymundenso Mas nakakatakot po kung graduate sila ng ganung course. My best friend is a lawyer. PolSci students' intellect takes over their compassionate heart 😁
The trauma of cous Vanessa for sure to the highest level. I was lucky enough to have a friendly and warm IO the first time I went outside the country. Syempre i was super kaba but I remain calm and compose mahirap na ma feel nila yung takot mo baka na offload pa ako. Super bilis nung sakin. Tinanong lang kun saan ako pupunta tapos ano gagawin then that was it tatak then pasok na. Same goes the 2nd time I went out of the country, bilis lang din walang daming tanong tatal agad. But I have a colleague back then and her story tumatak talaga sa isip ko kasi na offload siya. The fact na kagagaling lang niya sa work plus sa SG lang sila pupunta ha wala grabe offload talaga. Daming tanong ni IO, yung tipong power trip talaga tapos yun offloaded siya. Napa iyak na lang daw siya kasi syempre yung hotel booking tapos yung flights etc. Ang OA din kasi minsan ng mga IO although we know na prinoprotektahan lang tayo pero wag naman yung parang minamaliit kana. Ganon din kasi ginagawa nung iba.
Immigration in Philippines is really terrible. I also experienced it the 3rd time I went to Taiwan for vacation. (I love Taiwan btw). They asked some very nonsense questions like why do I have to go Taiwan if there’s a nice place to spend for vacation in Philippines. (like wtf, I was cursing inside at that time but have to answered them professionally because i’m afraid they might reject my entry) But seriously, very insane. But then, we can’t blame the immigration. Because there are really so many Filipinos that are TNT or working abroad without following proper procedures so immigrations don’t have a choice but to get more strict. But I don’t think their solutions are very effective 😅 because Filipinos will really find a way to cross to other country and find job illegally if desperate
Napakawalang kwentang tanong naman yan. Sayang energy.
I agree, immigration officers here in our country are really rude.
Their question is not even relevant.
@@christine9122 I dont think hnd nmn yun walang kwentang tanong. minsan magtatanong sila tlga tgnan nila if may alam ka tlaga sa lugar. the oobserve ka din tlaga nila mga gestures and reactions mo. :) been travelling since 2009. and mdaming horror stories tlga sa Imigrations ntn. pero i learned my lesson. isang tanong isang sagot un lng. no need to elaborate. tingin sa mata din nila.and kalma lng tlga. :)
Dito sa atin meron talaga ibang IO gusto printed 😅 Tip: Isang tanong, isang sagot. Print flight and hotel bookings. Wag ma kwento and be calm when answering questions. Last balik ko Singapore para ako na hot seat, ang dami tanong which is first time ko ma experienced. Feeling ko mainit sila sa mga ex OFW na mag travel 😢 Akala siguro babalik ako SG to apply for work. I purposely printed docs and as expected naghanap talaga yun IO. Ang dami tanong para ako na interrogate ng slight though I was allowed to pass pero I can’t help but feel bad para dun sa ibang na hold lalo na for first time travelers, traumatic yun for sure.
un din po napansin ko pag ex ofw specially sa dubai. Kaya medyo nenerbyos din po ako . Nagpaplan ako mag tour sa dubai this year baka magduda sila eh retired OFW n ako .😢
@@tigger7744 I was able to go back to Singapore again last Feb lang and then March to Thailand naman. Wala na maraming tanong, purpose of travel lang then passport+boarding pass lang binigay ko. Be confident lang pagsagot. And even as ex OFWs we have a right to travel maski yun country we worked at previously.
@@mharicris 🙏
Speaking only from my experience especially my most recent trip to the Philippines: I was born in the Philippines but grew up in the US so obvi I look Filipino. My bf went with me to meet my family in the Philippines and he is not Filipino. He’s half white but looks very much Caucasian. We went up together to the immigration officer’s window. He gave his passport first and was only asked “is this your first time?” My bf said yes, passport stamped and good to go. I hand my passport, officer looked at it (little bit longer than with my bf before asking me questions). Proceeds to ask me if I was born in the US, how old was I when I moved, and if I still speak Tagalog then asks me “Saan ka ipinanganak dito sa Pilipinas?” with a slightly condescending tone. I answered but took me a minute because it caught me off guard and it’s the end of a 24-hr travel day. Officer with a smug look on his face, not completely satisfied with my answers then asks when we’re heading back, the exact date. It’s a good thing that I’m the one whole plans out travels and very organized with our documents, flight dates etc. FINALLY stamped my passport and let us go. I’m sure he was just doing his job but his line was the slowest moving one. It took us so long that our check in bags were the last in the conveyor. He be doing the utmost, didn’t realized I was gonna be interviewed like in a Miss Universe contestant 😅
For anyone wondering, yes my bf has a US passport….but so do I. So idk? Shouldn’t have mattered right?
Anyway, so sorry to you guys for this experience. Travel should be fun throughout the whole experience. I understand that safety is priority but they can promote safety without rudeness and condescension, instead should be with manners and grace.
We need to understand that thr immigration officer's job is to screen all incoming and outgoing passengers po and it probably comes with the job to look intimidating. Mas nakaka intimidate po sa immigration sa ibang Bansa sa totoong lang. Remember that as long as the passenger have all the necessary documents needed for travel (valid passport, roundtrip tickets (for tourists), etc..) Normally, if me visa stamped na sa passport Hindi na Sila naghajanap Ng proof of income or work cert. Just be confident when you approach the immigration officer while giving your passport and ticket po. All immigration employees are well trained in screening passengers po. So far, it only took less than 5mins lang experience ko sa immigration.
It's nice to hear our IO is doing their job thoroughly, to thorough that certain things shouldn’t be asked and for my personal opinion IRRELEVANT e.g., “Birth Certificate, Relationship status of the passengers, sometimes even the pocket money or other personal information” technically by LAW everyone has the right to travel and not question that way unless otherwise, you are flag as a person of interest. In addition the IO don’t have the jurisdiction to ask such questions. Take the example in other countries they just ask you to present your passport because that is the only document you need. BUT Truth To Be Told Immigration here in the Philippines in particular are like that because of some Filipinos are taking risk of traveling outside country as tourist then later will overstay worst do some illegal stuff. When caught after will blame the System, so sad.
Hindi po member ng ASEAN ang HK. 😅 Pero I agree po sa lahat ng sinabi nyo po.
ohhh yahhh my mistake thanx for correcting...
There were 2 travel agencues that were blacklisted recently due to 22 paseengers who stayed behind in Japan the ither agency meron din 4 na nag TNT, kaya we cannot blame the IOs to question tourists goibg out of the coubtry especially for younger ones... Kawawa ang 2 travel agency dahil sa nag TNT na 22 at 4 sa Japan at nakakasira sa image ng Philippines
Those are not irrelevant questions. It was asked to me in New York and London not only by Philippine Immigration but other countries as well.
@@benniegarcia8869 Agreed! That is why in some countries they are giving incentives to report to their authority the undocumented Filipinos or other nationalities, and I my self-support that 100%. This people are tarnishing the image of those Filipino that just want to Travel and don’t want to be harassed by the IO. But on that note the rudeness of the OI to JM is UNACCEPTABLE if I’m on his shoes ill will address this to his/her senior officer so this IO should be put on his right place. On my 40 years of traveling as an OFW, I saw how some IO use their power and intimidate and disrespect some Filipino travelers.
Normally if you are traveling as a group, you can all go together to one IO. That is much easier for both parties during interview. The questions are just normal. The IO is just doing their job. It is the responsibility of the IO to filter those who are intending to look for work outside the country without proper visa. Mas mahigpit pa actually sa ibang bansa.
You could have gone to one IO as a group/family unless that is not (again) allowed there in the Philippines. The question about if she had a copy of birth certificate with her was totally absurd. You could have not obtained a passport without a birth certificate. Your passport is just that proof and it’s common sense. IO’s in the Philippines need proper training. Also, we need to keep up with the times. We carry documents in digital formats these days. Even we don’t need anymore paper airline tickets and boarding passes to check in.
Ganito ginwa namin nung first time ko magtravel isang group kami pumunta sa IO.
Exactly the point.. common sense.. walang birth cert kung Walang passport… lol sa IO 👎
Yeps, my hubby and I always do this every time nagtatravel kami. Naexperience kong mainterrogate nung 1st travel ko abroad dahil hndi ako sumama sa family group ko. 😂
Minsan pag malalaki na, ayaw nila sabay2. Isa isa. Topak nga e. Kala mo ke ganda ng ph para mag higpit
birth cert? stupid IO
Resident ako ng japan
Umuwi ako ng pinas for vacation
Them balik na ko sa japan winter season normal samin ang naka boots pag winter para ma warm ang legs
Pero pag dating sa Philippine Immigration sinabihan din ako SIGE PASOK KA NA MUKANG SASAYAW KA PA BAKA MALATE KA PA SA SHOW MO
Grabe ang bastos ng iba immigration officer diyan🥲🥲
Went to Bali last month, been traveling since 12yrs old, tapos last travel ko was Sept 2019, first time ever ko matanong ng madami and sobrang tagal. Tapos tinanong bakit daw 2019 pa ako last nag travel, gusto ko sabihin na helloooo nag pandemic, then nag expired passport ko mg 2021 and airline kept canceling my ticket. As in 4x na cancel yang bali na yan. IO asked so many docus from me, and it was 1am. Pag lagpas ko ng io, super drained ako na nung manotice ko na naripped yung pants ko, di na ako nag bother ma mag palit ng emergency clothes ko, kasi super nanlulumo ako.
Filipino vs filipino, they are making it so easy for foreigners to enter our country pero mga kapwa nila, grabe panghihusga at paghihigpit.😢
Trust, but verify: Ito ang motto nang IO...
I don't believe ma-offload tayo nang walang reason.
We just show have to them that we are true to our intention to travel: for pleasure only. Hence, they ask a lot of questions and ask maybe, irrelevant docs (e.g. B.C.)
thanks po yung video ninyu ngbigay ng actual tips sa mga future first time travellers. :)
It truly is a shame and sad to say that we only experience immigration issues a.k.a "interrogations" when it is very painless in the rest of the world. We could only wish that they'd trust their kababayan more.
This isn't true. You should watch docus on immigration policies and controls
@@bastantonio3077 source?
@RGG III any airport/ border security or border patrol series on Nat Geo and a couple of immigration documentaries available here on YT.
@@bastantonio3077 listen. The immigration officers in other countries are authorized to screen or even deny entry to foreigners entering their countries as much as our immigration officers have the right to do that to foreigners entering the country. Our own immigration officers do not have the right to deny outgoing Filipinos of their travels based on their discretion.
Thanks for tips, I have Flagged issues in the immigration too for 1hr, bound for Singapore last yr. But I keep calm and composed myself not to show them that I'm worried and #1 I'm not a criminal anyways. I'm blessed because the young immigration officer was respectful but that was a horrible experienced. It's just I have middle east flagged issue way back 2009 that they said why I extended my vacation for another 3mths? And that was a Flagged issue. Finally, after asking additional documents to ensure that I will return home then they stamped my passport. Additional tips for travellers: do not panic , swallow your pride, other documents should be ready.
When we went to Korea last January, tiningnan ko talaga ung mga IO kung sino ang mabilis lang ang process. And nakita si kuya na parang uwing uwi na compare sa iba na very hyper pa. Kaya sinikap ko na dun mapunta kay kuya. Sinabay ko na ung anak ko sakin ng tinawag nya ako. Ang mga tanong nya lang
Anak mo yung bata? - Sabi ko yes.
Anong name? - Sinabi ko
Ilang taon? - Sinabi ko.
Asan ang nanay? - Nakapila din. Pinalapit yung asawa ko.
Then tatlo kami, tinatakan. Approved.
Yung kasama namin na isang pamilya, napunta sa mga hyper na IO, grabe ang interogasyon sa kanila. Hiningian pa sila ng birthcert ng anak nila and all. Lahat ng docs hiningi sa kanila.
Minsan talaga, parang nagtitrip na ung ibang IO din. Bakasyon po ang habol. Pampababa ng stress. Kaya lang mas dagdag stress pag haharap na sa IO.
CONFIDENCE IS KEY, pero don't be overconfident naman. Share ko lang experience namin last May to HK. Three kami, me and my two nieces. All of us have traveled abroad many times. Pero for some reason, yung isang niece ko natagalan sa IO because she was not confident with her answers. Kita namin sya eh. We were in another counter. Sya pa naman yung galing sa Australia, several times in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Pero we saw na hesitant sya sa mga sagot nya. So that's why the IO was scrutinizing her trip. She learned her lesson. Last month, she went to Japan again at hindi na daw siya natagalan sa IO.
grabe tlg sa atin. nagpprofile sila kung sino ang mahihina ang loob. otherwise, they going to lure you their evil deeds. korap talaga. yung questions nila is sobrang personal. naghahanap sila ng mapagkakitaan. ginagawa nila yan sa mga Filipino dahil yun lng ang kaya nila
I’m sorry you went through that. I also experienced that. Dami hiningi…but I changed my language from tagalog to english and showed several communication exchanges regarding my leave with my boss dun lang ako pinalampas….Then on different occasion, when I got the chance to join in a Christian grp who volunteered to help some filipinos in the embassy’s safe house I learned that there are alot of illegal filipino workers who had been victims of abused. Then I wished that the government should have been stricter to filipinas going out of the country to ensure their safety. I realized that the IOs are asking for so many docs and capability to travel to avoid such scenarios. But the IOs should have manners and explain why they are are asking such questions if they think the traveler does not understand…So the next time I traveled with my nieces, i told them to answer in english and maintain eyecontact with the IO and answer confidently. Lusot agad 😁 tho marami rin hinanap na docs like hotel booking, etc. (Just sharing)…So both sides lng kailangan mag-unawaan cguro.
Big hugs to you Jm and uour cuzs!! Keep your heads up high always and hoping to see more super fun exciting travels from the 3 of you!❤❤❤ One day, hopefully here in the US!
Went to Japan with my colleagues last April and it’s my first time. Habang nakapila may isang IO na parang ang hirap makalagpas. So I am hoping na hindi xa matapat sakin. But sadly sa kanea ako napunta. As first timer, madami talaga xa hinanap. I think nakakatulong ung composure mo. Kahit namamatay na ko sa kaba, I tried to be calm. Dala dala ko lahat. Clearance, COE everything na magpapatunay na babalik aq.😄Nakaktulong din na well dress ka especially sa first timer.
Moral of the story: king sinu ang iniiwasan mo na IO, dun ka mapupunta😅
Nakakaiyak talaga pagnakalusot kana sa haba-haba ng mga tanong! Ako nga 10min nalang talaga iiwanan na ako ng plane. Tapos nung sinabi ko na sasarili ko na ay ok wla offload naku nito, tapos last minute my pahabol pa na tanong! Tapos yun pinayagan din ako makaalis! Hongkong nga din pala punta that time. Grabe gusto ko maglupasay sa tuwa nung nakalusot ako!😂
Aww kawawa naman si cuz vanessa. Im glad na it turned out well. Nakaka trauma. The key is to be confident and prepared. One liner lng ako sa sagot sa sobrang nerbyos ko din pero nadaan sa eye contact na nagsasabi na sinuswelduhan kita kaya umayos ka. Haha! Enjoy HK!!! Lagi kami naka abang. More more subsscribers!!!
We appreciate your effort and hard work. Happy holidays
Thats just an ordinary experience. The IO may have sense the nervousness of Ate Melai and just like that. Heneweis, enjoy HK
Filipino immigration staff are totally different in a sense that they are cocky, arrogant etc. but only to their kababayan. Maybe not all but most of them. But to foreigners they are so polite and accommodating.
Ang dapat kunin nyo rin yung names ng immigration officer, pwede yun it’s basic human rights pwede ngang kunin nyo rin yung consent nila na i re-record nyo yung usapan nyo. Hindi naman magiging data privacy issue yun as long as hindi I post in public yung conversation.
The stigma brought about by years of human trafficking in the Philippines , sad but true.☹️
So true. I have friends from other ASEAN countries and their immigration officers are not so strict compared to ours.
Some people might think irrelevant yung hinahanap na documents. But i think, theres a reason for their questions.
Few years ago, binigyan ng free travel tour yung tita ko papunta HK ng kaibigan niya sa isang grupo. All expense paid daw. Nanalo daw siya raffle sa group.
Pagdating niya ng airport, excited na excited siya.
PERO, SAME DAY, dumating yung nag bigay ng tour, may pinakilalang dalawang bata. Magpapangap daw yung tita ko bilang tita ng dalawang bata.
Hindi niya alam ang gagawin niya. Stress na stress siya pero nag mamakaawa din yun dalawang bata na pumayag na siya. Ayaw niya pero nandon na siya sa situation.
BUTI NA LANG, matindi yung immigration officers sa Pilipinas pa lang at naharang sila. 🙌🏻 Isang halimbawa ng human trafficking. Pag-uwi niya, nag papasalamat pa siya dahil di kaya ng konsensya niya pag may nangyaring masama sa mga bata pagdating ng HongKong.
Yung relevant documents ok lng pero magcheck ng cp? Hello
I truly appreciate pag share nyo ng experienced sa Immigration para sa mga gusto magka idea.Ako din nman noon, sa HK first travel ko way back 2012 mahigpit natapatat sken and nun 2018 papunta Japan. But its okay, as long as masagot mong mabuti. Mas mahigpit pa nga nun from SG- Malaysia kami, ang higpit ng sa malaysia IO nun kase alam na nila ginagawa ng mga naghahanap work sa SG, nag eexit kunwari sa MY tapos papasok ulet. Take away here is if strict ang IO, Its means they are doing their job and you as traveler must comply. Nakkabasa pako sa comments na dpat reklamo daw. WOW HA.
Base on my experience... I've been through to immigrations of strict countries before, there's no such things as disrespect that had happened, they're just gonna ask you firmly and respectfully... But here in our country, if they feel they have the authority (well they really have) they will really go beyond their authority. I mean there's no problem on asking and asking questions but ask respectfully...
Been to Vietnam last month. I was nervous upon my way to the IO, coz my new passport has no stamp yet, though i had several stamps on my expired passport. I put my status as housewife since I'm no longer working and that added to my anxiety. The IO then asked me what I'm going to do in Vietnam, i answered him for pleasure since I'm celebrating my golden birthday. He then asked me where I'm staying at and there..i just handed him my hand written 2 pages of a wk itinerary including the booking numbers of hotels, tours, the payment etc etc. The IO kept on reading for ages 😅 but atleast he did not add more questions. Dapat lang talaga di natin bibigyan ang IO ng dahilan para magduda. Pero sa totoo lang, tayo ang palaging nagdududa sa kanila kaya pati birth certificate ko lagi kong dala😅 sa susunod dadalhin ko na rin pati expired passport ko.
Profiling yung ginagawa nila, trained sila dyan, nasa pila ka palang, observed ka na nila. Alam nila kung hindi ka confident kaya gigisahin ka talaga. I suggest na dapat meron kang hard and soft copies ng supporting docs mo kase hindi pa nman ganun ka automated at advanced ang pinas unlike Japan, US, etc na they honor soft copies. Rule of thumb: kelangan mapatunayan mo na, babalik ka and you can support your stay sa country destination mo, hindi ka kase dapat maging liability sa pupuntahan mo kase if that happens, red flag lahat ng pinoys. Sometimes, they ask how much pocket money kase may cap din up to how much we can only bring na cash. Confidence is the key and dapat wag magpasindak! Uso pa nman ang human trafficking at dati may baklas passport pa.
Mas matindi nga pag natapat ka sa IO na pinoy na naging citizen na sa US, mas matindi profiling and Q&A. 😄✌️ Enjoy HK!
nung first time kong nag out of the country sa hk din at pinsan ko rin kasama ko.. pareho kaming first timer. tapos wala akong dalang company id kase alam ko di valid id yun kaya di ko na dinala, umid lang dala ko hehe. pero may dala akong coe. binigay ko yung coe ko nung hinanap company id, sabi ko coe lang, nawala company id ko kunwari kase baka pauwiin ako at ipakuha eh ang layo layo ng airport sa bahay. then kinuha nya yung coe tapos di pa sya satisfied kahit may sealed yung coe at may indicated na salary, hiningi pa nya company health card ko buti nalang dala ko at buti nalang din may health card ang company namin. pano nalang kung wala maooffload cguro ako. mahirap tlga pag first time, gigisahin ka.. pero once may travel history ka na, mabilis na sa io. 🙂
Nope. Maski naka ilang beses ka na labas masok, pag ung matapat talaga sayo inggiterang panget na palaka, i-interrogate ka parin. Tagal ng issue yan, mga bugok at corrupt lang talaga IO sa pinas.
Thanks for sharing a tragic experience. I been through that. Napaka traumatic talaga dumaan sa immigration natin.. Sending full support here. See u around
Isa kasi sa common jumping point kasi ang Hongkong ng mga illegal workers na Pinoy. Kunwari tourist sa Hongkong pero yun pala eh may nakatagong flight from HK to another country gaya ng Dubai or middle east or anywhere. Kaya kino cross check yan ng ating immigration officers. Trabaho nila iyon. Daming mga illegal workers or undocumented Pinoys na ayaw dumaan sa legal na paraan ng paghahanap ng trabaho abroad. Kaya Peace lang.
yang kaba at pagod mag isip kung makakalusot kayo ng immigration ay malaking epekto sa ating pag iisip at health ng tao. yung prang maiihi ka sa takot kung lulusot o hindi, yung parang hihimatayin ka sa takot dahil pag na offload ka ay malaking pera ang masasayang at sobrang pagod sa pag punta ng airport.
What I hate with PH IO is they are also checking personal message in WA, Viber or Messenger, etc. (any messaging app). I understand they wanted to protect us from human trafficking, etc. But checking personal messages is really off! We are travelling adults. We provide all documents and answer their questions honestly. But they are really not trusting their fellow Pinoys. We are still living in the 90s. 🙄
they just want to make sure the travel doesn't involve human trafficking
hindi lng sa PH IO ginagawa ito, even sa ibang country like australia IO they do the same thing. hindi lang pinas
@@beautifullifebycindy they can do their job properly and they can protect Filipinos from human trafficking without going into too personal such as scroll and read personal chats from viber, WhatsApp, messenger, email. There are documents enough to prove that person is not a victim of human trafficking. I’m glad this time they apologized for their mistake and they are being called out
The IO'S probably are quite suspicious since your it was your cousin's first time abroad and HK has a lot of domestic helpers. But regardless of the reason, they should act professionally. It also seems like the IO is power tripping. tsk tsk tsk...
Typical gov't employee. Magaling mag power trip.
Althgh the IO’s approach couldv been a little more professional, but with the alarming human trafficking, etc. incidents happening in the south east asian countries, you cant help but understand that these officers are just doing their job to also protect us Filipinos. Its still a good experience though, so that next time, youll be more confident and more prepared as well. Also, the stamps on your passport somehow signifies your rank or level as a traveller if you look at it from a gamers perspective. So the higher the level you have, the better chances of you winning each stage 😊
You should not be intimidated by those immigrant officer. You guys deserve respect.
Ay grabe namn yang IO na yan..sana mapanood ni idol senator Tulfo😊God BLESS u guys and stay safe!
Ang pinaka masakit lang ditu pa mismo sa acting bansa eh ganyan ang gagawin nila sa kababayan natin, napaka rude nila, pero pag mga tourists yan wala ng tanung tanung pa.. Haysss
Thank you for sharing your experience in IO specially in interview and docs.
Happy New Year JM!. I've been watching your vlog always & Yes minsan mahigpit nga sa Immigration kung 1st timer ka. Sana isa na lang kaung lane para kung ano man ang tanong nila magkakasama kau. Anyway thank you for sharing. Good luck for your next trip.
Only in the Philippines. But again , on the safe side, just bring all documents . Pero huwag din mag papa-bully sa iba.
Thank God I never had any bad experiences with Philippines immigration… been to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Now USA.
Inggit ako sa relationship nyo, magpipinsan. God bless you all.
Ako din. Sana meron akong cousins na nakakasama ko sa travel.
Grabe yung anxiety na binibigay nila sa mga tao.
To all traveling clients you just have to tough! Be smart snd just be ready to have things ready.
Same scenario for me when I went to SG last Sept9. Nakaka trauma ang IO experience. Nakakaliit ng sarili the way IO treated me na pati bagahe need nila tingnan, kulang nalang pati underwear.
JM, I watched somewhere regarding dun sa Birth Certificate question. Sabi nya it is a trick question daw. Kasi pag meron ka, it will give them an idea na 'ah.. baka mag aaply tuh ng work abroad'. Kaya if leisure travel lang, di na dapat magdala ng Birth certificate
Pero kung sabhin ng mga tao na nainterview na hinanapan sila ng BC eh di tendency niyan yung mga magttravel in the future will bring BC cause IO is asking for it.
I always bring my bc ,marriage certificate and my kids bc coz I'm responsible for them. The reason nag ask ng bc to prove na magkamaganak talaga sila
Thanks for this! Grabe, pwede naman maging super strict pero professional pa din. Bastos bibig, hindi naman makakahuli ng tnt pag bastusan ang papairalin.
Hello just want to aware everyone na wag niyo po takutin ang mga tao na humarap sa immigration. Pinaka point is "Kung wala kang binabalak na masa bakit ka matatakot" yan po yun. Kaya maging confident ka kung mag travel ka lang naman. Imposing a character is needed pag immigration officer ka. diniyo po kilala yan mga yan kaya talagagn trabaho lang rude is rude pero need nila mag lagay ng bounderies sa kapwa nila yun lang po yun.
Always appear cheerful and friendly when answering questions. They are looking for any sign of nervousness.
Proof of your travel itinerary and hotel bookings come handy 😊.
I told them I have some cash but will mainly use my card.
If they suspect human trafficking or intention to work as an escort, they will keep asking questions.
The leave form is helpful. My sister was asked that.
For some reason, they seem suspicious of people travelling together.
Maintain eye contact when answering questions😊
That’s irrelevant! If the objective is to intimidate of course they will feel fear!
Thank them. They're doing their job. Medyo rude lang ang dating pero hard to be in their position kasi it will be scored against them kung hindi sila mag screen ng mabuti. You are being protected from human trafficking. Just be prepared and tell the truth.
Agree usually pag babae pansin ko lang matagal tanungan. For sure they are only doing their job
and they should still get a taste of their own medicine to humble their arrogance.
Some immigration officers are way out of line asking personal matters of the travellers which the only job they have to do is requirements are complete . So sad that they discriminate their own people travelling abroad and experience the world . Yung iba Lang siguro mga inggit because they are not happy with their own life and they are very judgemental 😢.I was never offloaded but immigration officer as for pasalubong 😂
Remember not to be too nervous because they will think you are lying and will interrogate you more.
Your traveling is a big help to our economy. They need to be trained well!!
Minsan talaga nakaka trauma ang IO satin, pero ginagawa lang naman din nila trabaho nila dahil sa ibang kababayan natin na illegal ang mga ginagawa. Congrats girls!
Be confident to every answer to IO's question. Basta kung alam mo naman sa sarili mong babalik ka ng Pilipinas at alam mo yung mga detalye ng documents na hawak mo, then I think that would be okay. The more kasi na sumagot ka ng kabado or like with a little fear, mabilis talagang mag do-doubt ang IO kahit ba sabihin nating kabado ka lang naman kasi first time mo mag travel at ma-interview ng IO. We cannot blame them din naman if they are very strict, they are just doing their job dahil marami talagang human trafficking na nangyayari sa iba't ibang bansa at commonly, coming from SEA. But am happy na naka-alpas kayo for your travel in Hong Kong. On the other hand, I have read one comment here sabi nya na IOs should go to retraining on how to interrogate travellers in a nice way. I agree on this. Yung ibang IO kasi sumobra naman yung dating pag nagtatanong. Yung para bang akala mo kriminal yung iniinterview. 😅
Immigration Officers used tricky questions to gather information for the truthful purpose of the travel. They are used on purpose, not just for being nagtataray or being too rude. They are protecting the Filipinos as well from trafficking or for us to get in trouble thru illegal employment outside the country. They are trained well to do their job on the best way they could do. And yes, they looked for BCs not because they are doubtful with your identity, even though you all have the IDs with you, but because of the possibility na baka you're too ready para mag asikaso ng employment papers pag dating sa HK, as it is also well known for our Kababayans go-to country if they want to work abroad.
actually birth certificate is a tricky questions. bakit ka nman magdadala ng BC if mag to-tour ka lng.
Mas maganda isagot doon, no I don't have coz hindi nman sya necessary dalhin & meron nman syang passport...
When going through immigration, kailangan kasi nila yung copies and documents talaga. Kaya noong dumaraan rin ako ng immigration, lahat naka print talaga. Hindi na sila mag question kung may papers talaga for proof. Just a tip.
First time ko mag-Japan last June with my employer grabe din mga tanong sa akin pero hindi ako nagpatibag. Hahaha! like government employee?Ano work mo?first international trip?Ilan taon ka na sa work?anong taon ka nag-umpisa sa kanila? Stay-in ka sa kanila? Ilan kayo ang aalis? Ilang days kayo? Kailan balik niyo? At lastly na talagang natawa ako sa sarili kong sagot at tinatakan ako ay ang tanong na (palagi ka bang sinasama sa mga trip nila? Sagot ko- Trip po? Opo,food trip sa BGC. 😅 Tapos pagdating ng Japan bigay mo lang passport mo sa IO picture finger print tapos sealed na scan na lang ng QR code tapos welcome to Japan na. Wala akong practice sa nga tanong may dala akong documents Pero hindi naman hinanap marami lang talaga silang tanong kapag di ka nila trip. 😅
tips naman po for freelancer-na walang mapakitang company ID🥺pano kaya aq makapasa sa IO pa singapore po target namin ng ate ko
Depende sa isasagot mo yung hahanapin sa yo ng IO, you need to prove na may kinikita ka dito sa pinas. Kahit online banking pabuhuksan nila sa yo at titignan ang history
Sobra toxic talaga Jan sa pinas kaya tinitake advantage ko dito ako sa uae kse bills lng mgtravel San San bansa..Pinas bakit sobra ninyo toxic
Nangyari rin ito sa akin. Nagdecide ako mag move to Australia for good nung Jan 2021, during the pandemic for a better life and para kasama pamilya ko na nandun na. Konte lang tao sa airport nun kasi nga pandemic, pero yung BOI officer ang daming tanong. Kung ano daw status ko sa Australia, ano trabaho ko sa pilipinas, address ko sa Davao, ano natapos ko at anong year ako nag graduate. Tapos hiningi nya yung dating passport ko na 3 years expired na kasi nandun daw yung sticker na magpapatunay na migrant ako sa Australia, syempre hindi ko dala, bakit ako magdadala ng expired passport diba. Complete naman documents ko. Sa pabalik2x ko sa Australia for vacation, first time ako tinanong ng mga ganun. Tapos sabi nya if hindi ko dala yung passport, need ko daw iprove na migrant ako or hindi ako makakasakay, so pinakita ko yung resident ID ko tapos bigla nagchange ang expression nya, from matapang to napahiya. Tapos tumatawa pa siya sabay sabi 'ay yan naman pala eh, pinatagal mo pa tayo dito' tapos tawa ulit. Then after nun tinatakan nya na sticker ko at lumampas na ako. Kainis. I know iniiwasan nila ang mga may balak mag TNT, pero hindi naman lahat ng aalis ng bansa ganun ang pakay eh. And if ever man may mag TNT, let the other country's immigration handle them at sila nag mag punish, mas harsh pa sila dun, in the end iiwak parin sila at hihingi ng tulong sa government natin para mapauwi sila
Nanggigigil ako sa mga nagtatanong sa inyo...sa totoo lng walang connect ang mga ibang tanong nila...mabait ang Diyos gabayan kyo sa mga darating nyo pang mga trips.
Salamat sa inyong mga advices sa trips.
At mkaraos kyo sa mga immigration officials ng Pinas🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for sharing. Philippine immigration officers are unfortunately just following protocols mandated by idiots in our government. The laws/guidelines are anti-poor and discriminatory, in the guise of preventing human trafficking.The only reason they have been getting away with this for such a long time is that we accept the practice as being the norm. Only in the Philippines.

Toxic dyan ang immigration ng pinas daming tanong kapwa mo pilipino sya pang mag papahirap sa ibang bansa hindi ganyan kung mag hohohliday ala Basta check passport lang then go na
Ibang-iba ang immigration sa ibang bansa. Dito sa atin parang may kasalanan ka, parang kasalanan ang makapagtravel abroad.
First time ko mag Thailand kasama ko afam ko na jowa. Since first timer, normal na questions are paano kami nagkakilala etc. Tas iniwan nya yung boarding pass ko dun sa counter tas binigyan nya ako ng form na ifill out ko daw sa 2nd screening for first time traveller. Ayun buti nalang di masyado matao at na assist din ako agad after ng form pero dun na nag ask ng mga personal questions like my educ background, work background, salary ko, and same thing sinabi na next time iprint daw yung docs. Kasi pinagawa nya sakin is iscreenshot ko daw yung email thread ng PTO request, COE, booking details, etc. Thrn send sa email nila then dun pa prinint ng IO. Then yun pinabalik din ako sa counter/IO na pinanggalingan ko then dun lang natatakan. Hope this second travel di na ganun kahigpit. Its just so sad na need pa naten dumaan sa nerbyos at patunayan ang sarili sa mga IO na yan kung may kalayaan naman talaga dapat tayu mag labas masok ng ating bansa.
The best proof also you can present is a supporting letter from your employer or a invitation letter. Its my first time to travel.,i just present that.
I'm sorry what happen to you guys!.
Sadly, the Philippines has big problem with human trafficking and some of them are perpetrated by the family/relatives. The "typical pattern" is to travel to HK or an ASEAN country as tourist, making it as a stepping stone and then, generally, try to enter to the Schengen area.
Immigration officers cannot afford to doubt to any case they encounter so at some point, I can understand their actions but at the same time, there are a lot of better ways to approach it.
Kung lahat paghihinalaan mo na human trafficking, then dapat bawal na magtravel mga pinoy abroad, dyan na lng mabulok sa pinas.
Ang Dami palang bibitin mag vacation outside pinas… mandala ng birth certificate, mag bitbit din ng graduation pics and yearbook…
Grabe pala, yong mga tanong na yan ay tatanungin sa yo pagdating mo sa country of your destination. I am glad you all went in.
Wow napunta ka idol sa immigration officer na mabait at may puso❤️
Pag first timer traveler kc kayo mag ala girlscout kayo, everything ready ganorn. Ganon ginawa namin ng mga friends ko ng nagtravel kami kc inexpect ko na na maharang kami sa Immigration kc s nature ng work ko saka nung isang kasama ko. Kaya nung nasecond inspection kami nilatag na namin lahat ng niready namin kaya ayun hindi naman naging horror story ung experience namin sa immigration.
