I have been coming to the Philippines for a few years with my wife and child who are filipino born, Clark for one has a bad reputation for rude arrogant foreigners that bar hop, That is just fact ! Sleezy old drunk men that couldn't get a girl in their own country so they come to the philippines and buy one for the price of a light meal in their own country!
So if your a filipino and you work at the one place where you can hold a power trip over one of these bar hoppers, Wouldn't you?? for other places I don't know, but for clark I know it's the case !

Going in soon to pay the yearly fee's on time I guess within the first 60 days of the calendar year, if not you get hit with fee's and they run about 4, 000 peso's for being late and if you leave the country your wife is supposed to go in every year and pay the fee otherwise it's 4, 000 peso's for every year missed, found all of this out the hard way, good luck in asking questions there it's a total mad house of up and down go here go there and pay 3 places last time and they already had my information on file, I just got a newer card. I only hope that this year I only pay 310 peso's for my yearly due's because to rent a Van out is anywhere from 3000-4000 peso's depending on how many stops, no satellite office's even remotely close to my area and many foreigners live here it's a tourist trap, go figure and don't take expose yourself to robbery taking the bus and then multiple taxi's or jeepeny's that end up costing you half what a van will cost you to get around and you're pulling your hair out getting squashed in every ride.
I want to believe the words of "Changes are on the way" the new director in charge of the Philippine Bureau of Immigration so will see how it goes this time, I do know that it may take some time to carry out them, I do applaud the new Bureau Chief in removing and transferring 3 high level employee's late last year, my wife told me not to hold my breath. Last note, last year there were people inside trying to sell what I call coffin condo's, "What are they doing inside there? don't fall for these kinds of sales, you will need a can opener just to fit into the living room, no thanks, take the brochure but look on your own if you are really interested in this kind of thing, make sure the area is where you want to live and fixer's on the outside with signs.
And to all fellow expats please don't say hi and act like you don't see another fellow traveler so your women don't get angry, man I get tired of that crap, these women use us for our money and like to put you on a mantel and keep you there so nothing happens to you, might as well hang yourself then.

Specially immigration is the most freaking bastard personnel to deal with . after they ask all the fees and stuff after a day they try to tell you oh? you wont get approved..why?they just tell you frankly ?that sorry you gone too long. rather than give you hopes that you will get it?> i hate the philippines now?i was thinking retired over there?now i change my mind? because of this whole bulll--- shit immigration.not doing thier job at same time, they are just chit chat?

The Immigration officers are obviously depriving the rights of the filipino citizens to travel, specially those who are not really rich.They are undeniably discriminating people, if your physical appearance doesn't look well, they're gonna criticized you. I have witnessed how the interview is being done, they interrogate the passengers who look so weak.
But in my case, they really messed up my flight! they have asked bullshits personal questions, they have also asked for some requirements and when i was able to provide it, they'd asked again for more! til i finally missed the flight!..nakakgago mga pingagagawa nila s mga tao!
lahat n lang pingadududahan pinaghihinalaan e bkit hndi kaya nila tignan mga sarili nila kung d b sila mga kaduda duda s mga pingagagwa nila!
They are even inconsistent! There were passengers that I chatted before checking in, they were 3 including a 1 year old baby, but they dont have a copy of their hotel reservations, But since they have a child with them they allowed them to go. meanwhile, according to the rules a passenger must have RETURNED TICKET ND A HOTEL RESERVATION.
asan ang consistency?
Nakakabuwisit isipin n kapwa mo filipino at taga gobyerno ang mismong tumatrantado s mga tao dto s pinas. No wonder why the other nationalities look down us, coz we ourselves, don't even know how to respect each other's rights. Pati b nman freedom to travel n magliwaliw ppakialaman nila, ano nman prueba nila n ang lahat ng pashero n hharangin nila e gagawa ng iligal doon?alam ntin lahat n may ganyan bgay n nagyayari, pero sana nman ayusin nyo mga tamang hinala nyo!dahil s gngawa nyo PERWISYO N DULOT NYO S TAO!

Need To Know
Hi can anyone tell me if a Filipino man can make a complaint to the Immigration office requesting that an American be denied entry to the Philippines because he suspects his wife is having an affair with the American? My Filipina friend told me this today I told her that its impossible for her abusive husband to file a complaint because he has no proof. Can he really to that? If anyone can answer this question I would really appreciated it thanks.

Foreigners blamed
YOu want to stop American from comming here because he may be flirting with someones wife? GET A FUCKIN LIFE. How many Pinoys have 2 or more mistresses and thats considered normal by your screwed up society. Yeah take it all out on the foreigners, if it werent for foreigners your country would still be in the stone age. As for all you others that complain that foreigners only come here to bar hop. I say this. Your law says prostitution is illegal, but you have more prostitution here than in countries where it is legal. MAKE IT ILLEGAL AND YOU WONT ATTRACT THOSE TYPES OF FOREIGNERS. Just dont blame them for your mistakes.

leaving
i really like the filipino people, 98% hard working , honest, kind and sweet but the whole country is a basket case from top to bottom. dirty, dangerous, expensive, miserable and poor. why in the world would anyone want to visit this place more than once just to experience hell ? 2 million homeless children, more women working as hookers than there are manufacturing jobs in the philippines (shocking isnt it?) kids with copper coulored hair (protein defeciency) pawing at the windows of restaurants begging for food (so depressing) so much corruption and worthless government. 12% vat (sales tax) yet no social services or govt programs,
gasoline is 60% more expensive than USA yet roads in philippines terrible) malaysia is similar stock of people yet so much better
run. by the way american junk food is a step up from philippine food of cold spaghetti with banana ketchup but the fast food joints are 50% more expensive than USA (dont believe compare the price) here whopper jr 1.19 (50 pesos) in philippines 80 pesos ! why on earth would anyone pay 1200 for a ticket to visit that place ??!! and then to deal with immigration OMG they should be soooo happy that someone would want to visit and if they stay give them a free visa since they are going to spend money, paying so many taxes and get nothing in return ! i really feel bad for the filipinos (the good ones) who have to suffer living there, i guess thats why they are so religious they need faith in something to keep them going. thanks for reading my rant

as a suggestion, if you really want a nice vacation go to thailand ! its sooo much better than the philippines ! cleaner, cheaper, supermarkets much better quality of food and selection, so much culture and many things to so and do ! hotels about half the price of philippines. beer and cigarretes more expensive than philippines but i dont smoke or drink so could care less. (but i eat everyday which is more important ) ha ha the retirement visa is just 70 dollars a year versus 360 a year in the philippines. my impression is that thailand is safer since you dont see as many security guards, guns , police etc etc etc

mary grace jison/mr. deleon- immigration staff at Naia Terminal 3 internation departure ara
My son-in-law was supposed to leave for singapore as tourist last monday (February 18) via cebu pacific at 1:15p.m. When he lined up for the immigration officer to check his papers. He showed his round trip ticket confirmed by cebu pacific, confirmed hotel reservation at Amrise Hotel located at Geylang, Singapore for 3nights and 4 days. This immigration officerreferred him to Mary Grace Jison whose ID was not displayed. Upon seeing his papers, he was askedhow much money he have with him. When he said, he has 100singapore dollars, Ms. Jison told him it is not enough since taxi fare costs 50 dollars. He was asked to produce a certificate of employment, ITR and the balance of the atm card, which incidentally is in the name of my daughter. We were able to produce the ITR, but she said that ITR 2012 is not current. It should be 2013, but should that be when the filing of withholding tax for FY 2012 is on or before April 2013. He showed Ms. Jison the P7,000.00 he has with him aside from the 100 singapore dollars and the atm card which has P6,000.00. Notwithstanding, Ms. Jison again asked for the official receipt from the hotel showing that his stay was already paid for. The management of Amrise Hotel said that they only issue an official receipt once my son-in-law has already checked in. Payment of his hotel accommodations is charged to my daughter's credit card. There was a checklist which Ms. Jison was holding, and she kept on saying that there is a memorandum about this. When Ms. Jison took a break, Mr. De Leon took over and said that he will follow what Ms. Jison has said. Since he has been delayed for quite sometime, and we sensed that he will not really be allowed to board the plane, and it is past the boarding time, my son-in-law voluntarily off loaded. We tried to talk to the Immigration Supervisor, but instead, we were referred to Ms. Jison whom we talked over the phone.
We learned from first timer tourists who are our friends who just came from Singapore that they were not subjected to this kind of interrogation. Because of this unjustified interrogation by Ms. Jison, we lost P15,000.00 for unused airfare and 1 night hotel accommodation, but most of all, the trauma that my son-in-law suffered. Some said that Ms. Jison and Mr. De Leon are just waiting for "under the table" payment as was the case of some immigration staff so that the travellers, even if their papers are in order, will be allowed to leave the philippines. I hope this is not true.
Kindly inform us what this memorandum Ms. Jison and Mr. De Leon are just implementing in case of filipino citizens who are travelling as tourists so that we would be able to understand their actions and that we will not be subjected to the same situation.
I would appreciate it very much if you will reply to me via e-mail at [email protected]. I may also be reached at tel.no. 897-1856.

Deportation Bribery Scam
Deportation Bribery Scam - Manila Airport NAIA, Terminal 2
There is a very serious ring operating at Terminal 2 of the Manila airport. They improperly detain passengers who don't need a return ticket (claiming that they do) and if a bribe is not paid right away they send you to the transit lounge where the staff there act as jailers holding for days with one meal and one drink per day. Airline girl comes for the last chance to bribe, and if you don't cough it up, then you have to buy a ticket back. Outside of totalitarian dictatorships, this is the most abusive place to be.

Abandonment of uresponsible father
My name is Claire a nanny from Canada. Does anybody knows how can I put on hold of my ex husband so he is not able to travel abroad. He abandoned us 11 yrs ago and I heard he is working in Bahrain and just come back to the Philippines for a visit. I am not asking any financial support from him all I need from him is to sign the custody form saying that he is giving me the full rights for my daughter so I can bring her to Canada. The last time I talk to him he was asking for some money from me then he will sign what an IDIOT and selfish man. He doesn't give anything to my daughter since he left us. I hope somebody can help me in here so I can process my papers in Canada and get my daughter. You can email me and send a personal message to [email protected]

Offloading of Passengers at Manila Airport By Immigration Oggicers
Dear Sir/Madam.
I am Mohammad Ismail , a retired senior police officer holding the last position as Deputy Director 11 of Internal Security and Public Order with the Royal Malaysia Police, Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Currently I am the chairman of my own security company which is known as Microtech Security .
I have a very close filipino family friend by the name of Ruby Mendoza Lopera, holder of Passport No : XX 5002955, living at No :12 Road 13 Daang Hari, Taguig City, Philippines 1631, Mobile No : +639466333155, now having and running her own store business. She intended to visit Malaysia from 8th May 2013 to 12th May 2013 as a tourist. She had 2-way Phil Air Express tickets, confirmed original room reservation voucher for the duration of her stay and also financial capacity of 15000 pesos for her visiting daily expenses. However, she was offloaded after being interviewed by the Agents and Immigration Officer upon check-in. According to Ruby, she was offloaded for reason that she could not satisfy the requirements to travel as a tourist.She was advised to obtain more additional proof such as her business permit, financial capacity and etc
On advice of the Immigration Officer, she was able to fulfill all the requirements to travel. On the 24th May 2013 with 2-way Phil Air Express tickets, confirmed original room reservation voucher and her bank account she then came to Manila Airport to travel and visit Malaysia from 24th May to 29th May 2013 . She checked-in at Terminal 2 but was offloaded again without any specific reason despite the fact that she had fulfilled all the requirements as advised by the Agents and Immigration Officer at the first offloading on the 8th May 2013. I was so surprised and regretted as to why she was denied of her right to travel as she had already spent so much money for the preparation of her travel. By offloading her twice, she has lost so much money of her long hard earned saving from her business.
On behalf of her , I beg to appeal for your kind consideration and good office that with the genuine and good reasons above i hope she would be allowed to travel and visit Malaysia as a tourist without any hassle again at the Airport Immigration Passengers’ Check Point . I assure you and you trust me that she will abide by the rules and regulations of the law of both countries when she is visiting Malaysia
I would be much appreciated and grateful if my humble request could be considered for your kind approval. I am looking forward to your early and kind reply, please.
Thank you.
Regards,
Mohammad Ismail
Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
