No, but I experienced the stress of my gf having to be interviewed right up until 40 minutes before boarding. we carefully watched videos on what she would need, gathered all documents - even our first messages to eachother from 3 years earlier. Photos, documents, signed affidavits, everything. I flew over specially to be there as further confirmation of our relationship, if necessary. The line for ticketing was very slow, and the line for passport control was slow. Finally, we got to the front and presented our passports together, mine was quickly stamped; her's...they waited and looked and waiting and looked, and then asked her to step out of line and head over to some offices located to the left of passport control. I was told to wait outside but I could see into the office, where she and 3 other women (no men!) waited. And waited. and waited. I think it was about 30 minutes later before she started her interview. And another 20-30 minutes before she came back out, successfully! Sadly, one of the other women was denied and off-loaded. My gf related to me that they asked for everything we had prepared, and when she mentioned that I'd met her family (my first trip there I took her family to lunch and we spend the day together) they ask for a photo as proof! Fortunately, she had one, but it is a sign that you can never be sure what they will ask or want. So be prepared to place your whole life story and every detail of your relationship in physical form (paperwork, photos, etc). Fortunately, since that first encounter, she has had no issues since.
Ms. Terri ask ko lang kung ganun p din b pag ang bata ay unvaccinated n 12 years old pababa pero may kasama n vaccinated n adult ay no need n mag antigen test? Salamat in advance.🙂
I could almost swear that we're the only country that gives their citizens so much stress/anxiety to travel. Sometimes it feels like they're keeping us prisoner in our own country with all of the unnecessary offloading. Also as someone who's been diagnosed with anxiety and depression, it's tough for me to mentally prepare the night before a flight. The past two trips I got no sleep, worried that immigration would still deny me, even with complete requirements. I doubt the Philippine immigration will ever change though, I can only pray that it gets better.
I can clearly see you have not been to Cebu Mactain International Airport. NAIA is the North Korean Terminal of the Philippines. Cebu MActan is the Best one in the Philippines, hands down! Please do not compare us to Tanim Bala, mga walang hiya talaga na, kapal mukha pa ng mga Opisyales sa NAIA.
My friends and I went to Bali for a four day trip and 2 of my friends were first time traveler flying out of the country, full disclosure here: Watch out for Officer Juntura!!! He asked for return ticket, I showed it and the Air BnB Villa information where we will be staying. The officer wanted to know my relationship with my friends and asked a photo if I travel with them, I showed the photos of our recent photo vacation to Boracay with my friends and I thought that was the end. He actually asked the 2 who I was with them after I’ve done explaining. Yup, watch out for him. Unprofessional and I tweeted about him for his actions!
They should investigate him thoroughly and do a lifestyle audit on this guy. Outright BRAZENLY shameless! Needs to be relocated to the Sulu area where justice will be dealt for people like this!
Cebu Airport is best. Never have any problem there . The staff were excellent, professional, and friendly. We had great experiences there many times. Never had any lost or stolen luggage and the departures were also smooth.
Tinuod gyud og mga buotang ang mga BI sa Cebu friendly kaayo if naay mga kulang or mga remindera helpful kaayo sila mo advice sa mga passenger. Og takenote gwapa na kaayo among Airport sa Mactan.
I agree! they are very professional with great personalities! Manila Airport personnel mostly of them are not professional to deal the passengers especially immigration officers NAKAKAHIYA MGA UGALI NILA! They are ridiculous!

100%true.I’m a Filipino who lived in USA for over 40 yrs . I travelled frequently around the world last summer I went back to Philippines to visit family and toured several islands I’ve observed the undisciplined unorganized behaviors of airport employees . Talagang nakakadiscouraged bumalik Kulang na kulang sa trainings ang mga employees sa airport .
The weird thing is… they still ask a lot of questions even though u have a visa already. Those requirements were already submitted when you apply for a visa like the Japanese/Korean visas. They should not ask u all those again because the govt. of your destination already approve the visa.
Sad part about this is some of these employees were hired through connections, not by what they are qualified for. Not enough training and since they work in a place where they have authority, they will power-trip just because they have the power. One of the ways to prevent this is by holding the administration liable for their incompetence and compensate any the passengers for any expense incurred.
yup if this was dine to me & I missed my flight due to unnecessary questioning, I will demand refund or payment . In short, I will complain and if possible, sue them.
There should be consequences for INVALID OFFLOADING against arrogant immig officers. Bayaran nila lahat ng damages and tanggalin sa trabaho pag nagkamali ng offload
I always ask, " Who Checks The Checkers?" To make sure their not abusing their powers. The biggest problem is NOT having documents to show you are able to pay for your trip and will definitely return on return ticket. Ie Business in Philippines, family or Employment/Job. At times they get to heavy handed. It's the 4% there looking for.... 96% are legally allowed and never need offloading. Stop using rules against your own citizens. Most don't understand the situation or requirements.
It is obvious thats what they want. And it is business. If you think about it, you must have a consultant{paying them} to learn what is needed. I cannot imagine looking forward to your future and having the door slammed in your face. The whole system is because of people spread out over many islands not knowing what is going on in there own country. Just trying to survive. Shame on their own government.
Salamat Jen sa prompt urgent attention/panawagan sa Immigration authorities sa walang respect paggalang sa mga pinoy travellers overseas kadalasan and for calling the attention, too, to all concerned who are in the government.👍👏 Sana nga meron mandatory/statutory training sa mga lahat na staff from the bottom to the head and what not !
I believe the reason for the long interview & delay was because the immigration officer was hoping for a "bribe". I'm hoping the Philippines fixes this soon before travelers decide to go elsewhere. This information should be clear and on the website and followed by the immigration officer so this mess doesn't happen.
I currently work aboard and travel often. The overwhelming fear and anxiety in Filipino traveler's eyes are very noticeable. It is the silliest thing in the entire world to ask someone to see their school yearbook...I mean, come on...really???!!! What the heck does human trafficking have to do with a yearbook??? How absurd and child-like thinking is that. As the saying goes, "Only in the Philippines".
Kung hindi pagnanakaw ng mga airport staff, katangahan naman. When will the people incharged going to take responsibilities for hiring these criminals and incompetent employees? Under previous administration, wasn’t the person incharged, fired by the President? NAIA was moving in the right direction, with less scams and criminal activities, kasi may takot. Ngayon, wala nang takot😏
Good to see you here again Jennifer. Your updates are always helpful. In relation to the treatment of this woman just shows the incompetence of the officers. The immigration and process is so far behind and so unprofessional they show it is an embarrassment to the country
My Ph Fiancée and I have just completed Visa. Oh my Gulay the Certificates and Forms required for her to leave Ph Is just ridiculous. We think we have done everything then another Form or Certificate Is required. Can understand human trafficking etc but they treat Citizen's like children, and I heard Jealousy, corruption from Immigration Is rife In Manila Airport. Philippines It's 2023 sought out your Immigration and get rid of Corrupt Officials and workers stealing Luggage.
Makes you wonder if airline companies are part of this. Rebooking will increase their sales. Regardless, filipinos should have right to travel peacefully and easily as long as they have valid passport, plane ticket and no hold departure order. Let the host or receiving country do the rest. Asking for full iterinary and advance hotel bookings ruins the fun especially if you’re backpacking to many countries where you just wing it as you go. Ive been in some countries and they don’t have exit control for their citizens.
@Niki Ta Yes, as long as you have a valid passport and an airline ticket, you are good to go! No questions asked! In the US, when you comeback, they’ll just ask you where you went, how long did you stay abroad l mean, all relevant questions, no personal or invasion of privacy questions! The IO will even say “welcome back” with a smile! Very professional attitudes ❤
Hi Jen - yip it is nerve racking when a loved one goes through customs/ immigration in the Php. Also reviewing of personal mail etc is simply not right. However we followed your advice and she was allowed on her flight as a first time traveller. Thank you for your guidance
I agree with you 100% Jennifer. It does not appear they have a workable protocol of interviewing or training. Their job is not to prevent Filipinos from enjoying international travel. This is degrading action by the Bureau of Immigration who appear to have no respect for their own citizens or their rights. The politicians don't really give a damn how bad their government agencies treats its own citizens, or they would actually care to do something about it -- which they often don't.
Before my international travel to a country I've never been before (Brazil) last year, I took a lot of preparations after learning from people's immigration horror stories online. I almost had a series of panic attack episodes. But then on the actual day of my flight, my officer just let me pass through without so much hassles. This anxiety-resolving travel that is supposed to just be centered on pleasure and indulgence is so unnecessary.
When you see this kind of thing, it creates fears. Even for family immigration. One of the reason why my wife don't want to fly alone when she's getting her family immigration. And I told her I would be by her side and I will research all possibilities so that we have all documentation ready for when we will travel together to Norway ❤️ PS: I would love a detailed explanation for what is needed for family immigration just in case 😊 I bless all future flights for all of you, and that you will have ease at the immigration going forward. ❤
Hi. If she will migrate to Norway, she will need a CFO guidance & counselling certificate (as immigrant). This is aside from having the proper visa, etc.
My wife, she was my fiance at the time got offloaded on her way to Thailand, we had an affidavit of support, and she had enough money in her personal bank account to pay for all the expenses of the vacation, her brother was traveling with her, she had all the hotels paid for with both of our names on the reservations, all the tourist attractions we're paid for with receipts, and of course we lost all the money for the whole vacation because they offloaded her that we had paid for me, her brother, and her, it was quite frustrating, Her brother even had a note from his boss granting him time off for the vacation,,
i’m at the NAIA right now, we are flying back to New york in couple hours, first our flight was moved from7pm to 9:10 and now they just announced for another delay😢, going through security check is horrible, they have to inspect all your luggage’s before you check in, so i advise everyone not to tape your bags or boxes because it’s a waste of time..
The first thing they should do is make sure that during an interview the whole process must be video and audio recorded. BI has lots of lowly educated people running the place.
Seems like immigration officers are having fun or games who could offload more in one day 😊 Brought 4 cousins with me to Malaysia, and 2 almost got offload. They were actually behind the door. Even though I told the IO I purchased their airfare tickets and lodging.
Yes we experienced that offloadin last year dec. We just going to SG for vacation and celebrate my niece birthday, but the officer who interview to me and to my niece was look not in good mood that time so when its our turn for interview she already bad mood and after few questions and then she decided to denied us hayyysss crazy.
Should have sue them. You dont have hold departure order. We have rights to travel as long as we have valid passport, ticket and no hold departure order.
The one in charge for BI should be accountable of what's happening to Filipino or Filipina travelling abroad too many questions and people miss their flights what a joke of a system! It's hurting people financially this should be address to the top official of the Government!
You know what, a valid visa in the passporr should be enough, i experienced this with my girl friend trying to travel to Japan to visit me there where i was working at the time
I wish United Nations will notice this and call out Philippines. The government just doesn’t care, this incident maybe viral this week but after few weeks they will be back to power tripping again. I agree, the traveller should be able to leave easily without question as long as the traveller has valid passport, plane ticket and no hold departure order. Philippines is becoming North Korea
Hi jennifer puidi ba magtanong tungkol sa trip ko patungo sa USA dual citizen ako pero may layover sa Japan 11 hrs and 40 minutes kailangan ba may transit visa kung kailangan man saan kukuha at ilan araw bago makuha itong transit visa. Ano pa ang requirements patungo sa states na may layover sa Japan for almost 12 hrs. Please Pakisagot naman kung puidi lang , maraming salamat Jennifer God Bless ...
The whole concept of “offloading” passengers is ridiculous and should be discontinued. Government needs to back off and stop this overreach. None of their freakin business.
Lately as we go home to the ,I'm having anxiety.We go home every year except during the pandemic.,I never have anxiety before but like I said I'm having anxiety .We went home last February',the day before our flight I ended up in the emergency because of my deep anxiety.It's such a long flight by the time you get home ,you are bone tired..At the carousel where you collect your suitcases,there are people pretending to be passengers pick up randomly suitcases and put it aside as theirs.It happened to us ,they pick up 2 Suitcases of ours ,good thing my sister recognized our suitcases that was put aside besides them.The guy watching those suitcases told my sister "you don't have any suitcases in there." My sister ask him if his family name is Pacis he couldn't answer .He just keep quite.....NAIA airport is a NIGHTMAREEEEEE
My cousin's friend was offloaded for a damn questions....Never refunded her tickets and hotel ( vacationing to Singapore) I think some of the IO are just freakin jealous or power tripping! Where's the freedom of an individual to freely travel? last time I checked Philippines is not a communist country!!! If Out of 30K of Filipinos being offloaded only 1k were victims of trafficking, what that says with the immigration branch? I hope and pray that the President will do something about this problem...It's unacceptable! Now, if immigrations wants to offload filipino travelers they should refund all their expenses since it's the immigration choice...The immigration must be accountable for ALL THE EXPENSES of filipinos travelers being offloaded!!! This is clearly abused of power!
Yup, I'm an American and have been retired and living in the Philippines since 2016. It's easy if you have a good pension and social security. I live very nicely on over $2000 US dollars a month. I travel domestically from the province to Manila about twice a year. I eat well and most importantly, have good friends here in the Philippines that take good care of me. It's a beautiful country with beautiful people and culture. But it's sad that immigration treat their own people the way they do. They need to have uniformed standards and proper education!!!!!
Some immigration officers are arrogant and abusive with their authority in Mactan airport. I've been threatened by a particular officer 3 out of my last 4 trips to the Philippines. This most recent trip I was interviewed and threatened for more than half an hour.
tama po kau mam....grave abuse of authority ng ilang imig officer...kakapal mga mu,kha! napaka rediculous mghanap ng yearbook mahanapan lang ng butas? grabe walang standard nakakahiya!!! only in Phils.....dapat jan kasuhan talaga ng maghinay hinay cla sa pg off load ng maraming kababayan natin. Sometimes depende sa knilang mood??? napaka unfair...marami sa knila malisyoso ang pg iisip. Dapat mabago n yan sa panahon ni BBM. Nakakahiya sa ibang bansa at nakakaawa din sa mga gusto lang naman mg tour.
Hi Jennifer, you have been very informative wirh your channel. Question? Why does our Immigration do this interview during departure from the Philippines. These type of questioning should be done by the Immigration Team on ARRIVAL to the country of destination. For me it is their responsibility to screen travellers entering their country. Seems like our BOI are complicating their protocols just for the sake of doing it. I live in the UK...After checking in, I go straight to Security then after that I will be at the waiting lounge to wait for the gates to be opened. Just my observation..keep up the good work
Only the Philippines Immigration is asking for proof why you are traveling. It infringes on our privacy and dignity. To many questions are infringing in Privacy and are almost insulting. Treating the Filipinos like Children when they Adults. What kind of Democracy is that? This is almost Authoritarian !!
@@SuperWinback It does exist, but is very limited. The whole system is corrupt do the core and that keeps the Citizens poor. You're right when you speak about the poor for they have no money to defend themselves. Rich people get their rights thru their Money.
Yeah im a victim of BI also last year i visit my Sister in Singapore too much interrogation ginawa sa akin halos gusto ko ng umiyak dun super nakaka truama talaga sila mga walang konsensya kaya hindi na ako bumalik ng pinas for now i applying my permanent residence here i hate immigration in Philippines sana mabigyan ng hustisya ang mga kawawang na o offload nila
NAIA Terminal 3 flying on Qatar Airways. March 12, 2023. Check was done online 48 hours prior so we were only there a Baggage drop. It only took 10 minutes from the opening of the Qatar counter to be on our way to Immigrations. 3 hours later my Filipina GF was still waiting for her exit interview. Immigrations only had 4 people doing interviews and each interview she witnessed took over an hour. The plane was already boarding, so I ask help from a Qatar Gate agent to push Immigrations into hurrying up. Boarding was at Gate 14 only 50 meters from Immigrations. Then Immigrations needed to interview me ( the Foreigner) asking me to show the same documents my GF had and then make me sign an affidavit. In the end we got to the gate just as final call was announced. In my mind Immigrations Interview delay was deliberate. I heard from my friend that at Cebu Mactan Airport it only was taking 15 minutes to clear Immigrations the day prior ( March 11, 2023 ) In the Future I will avoid NAIA. If it isn't the baggage theft sybdicate at NAIA, it the intentional delays at Immigrations. NAIA is full of incompetence.
BI/DFA need to develop a pre-clearance process anytime before a scheduled flight. Regional BI offices should have the authority to pre-screen travelers before they get to the airport and prevent unnecessary offloading. I believe that may help streamline the travel process and alleviate all the frustrations.
In April my fiancé and her 11 year old daughter are flying to Hong Kong from Cebu (unfortunately 6am flight) for 3 days at Hong Kong Disneyland. They both have valid passport...proof of vaccine...return tickets...proof of hotel reservation fully prepaid....she will have both Hong Kong dollars and Philippine Peso as cash on her....proof of 100k balance in BPI account with ATM card to draw in Hong Kong....I prepaid for them travel insurance covering all medical. She has no credit card . I have pretty much prepaid for everything except meals, Im pretty sure they both need rapid covid test in cebu 24 hours prior..she will also have a printed itinerary of her 4 days in Hong Kong. Am I missing anything? Should I be worried with a 6am flight....I told her to be at airport 2am. This is a simple Disneyland trip as a reward for her daughters excellence in school.....I hope it doesn't turn into a disaster.
Hi. Does she have a job or business? If not and she's unemployed (she has no financial capacity of her own) , then you will need to provide an Affidavit of Support (AOS) for her & the child. The AOS must be authenticated in the PH embassy of your country of residence. She must also prove strong ties to return to PH.
My recent experience, departing naia terminal 3, I was asked to fill up the departure card while waiting in line at the check in counter. At the counter they took my card. On the immigration check, I had to fill out another departure card. I got so pissed, I asked myself, what is the purpose of epassport and still having to fill up the departure card?? I asked the staff only to be replied, " di ko po alam, fill upan nyo na lang". They dont know what they are doing!!!!
I experienced that offloading way back in 2019. They asked so.many questions, personal ones too. I'm going to meet my bf halfway to Indonesia because he is from OZ. After asking so many questions, showed them my itinerary, hotel bookings and round-trip flight, they stamped my ticket offload and told me that I can't cross over. They told me that, only my first degree family could invite me to travel as a tourist outside the country. At that time, there were a lot of people offloaded too. I wonder why it is hard dito satin na maka cross over sa immigration kapag magtravel ka, unlike other countries. 😞
Maybe these immigration officers are jealous that they themselves can't afford to travel. It's so sad to me that they treat their own citizens like this. Immigration dept officers need more training and uninformed standards!!!!!!! 👍🇵🇭
My grand daughter was not allowed to board her flight on Cebu Pacific to Japan because her vaccine certificate showed her two vaccines were Sputnik although her booster shot was Pfizer. She was asked to present Rt PCR negative result to travel the next day. She had to pay for a new ticket as the original booking was together with her elder sister and her younger brother. Just for your info or comment.
Hindi guarantee Yung upon arrival na tests like dun sa E-arrival ang sabi pwede sya e fill out upon arrival pero hahanapin Yun nang airline upon boarding.
Immigration should have a standard questions to ask the passengers. No more irrelevant questions that’s making the line long & some passengers missing their flight.
I am afraid to go back to my own country because of things like this . I was watching Princess Jane Yiga or Tindera sa Africa about our airport employees not doing what they supposed to do. Nakakahiya po. MONEY money money iyan Lang gusto nila. Philippines Government need to clean the swamp. Sana mabigyan ng kasagutan at refund nila yong gastos ng mga bektima.
Always strange things, my wifes sister is taking care of her grandson while her daughter is working in Manila. She wants to come to Manila and bring he grandson to see his mother. But when trying to book an airplane ticket we get the message: "Children below 15 years old and traveling alone, or with a person other than their parents, are required to secure a permit to travel from the City Social Services and Development Office (CSSDO) " This is usually for travel outside of the Philippines but in Davao it seems they ask for domestic travel too. Again a lack of standards. Not everyone is comfortable taking planes and going through the bureaucracy. Since she is from Cotabato and would take a bus to Davao for the plane, it is quite complicated to get that travel permit. She now might cancel her trip or worse go to the airport without the travel permit and maybe be offloaded....
Why too much question di pa ba cla na kontento pg apply plang Ng visa gumastos k na at ngbigay na Ng mga dokumento hirap nsa pag apply Ng visa tpos di p mkaalis di MN lng cla naawa
Hi. If you're a former Filipino citizen, bring your old PH passport or PSA birth cert. Then ask for balikbayan privilege (1 year stay) upon entry to PH.
Pansin ko lng bakit parang sa mga budget airline ito ngyayari T1 and T3 pero sana nman mabigyan pansin ito ng ating Gobyerno marami din kc mga kapwa Filipino nabibiktima ng maling akala
In my case, away talaga. Walang officer sa foreign passport section Tapos dalawa lang ang officer. One is for Philippine passport and the other one eh sa ASEAN passport. Yung nauna sa akin nag taray na sa Immigration officer kasi we both in the same flight and our boarding flight las call was 12:55 and that time it was already pass 12 midnight. Walang immigration officer !!!! Yung sa likod namin puro Ibang lahi and the queue is getting longer. Seriously !!! It happened last March 11.
Kawawa naman mga tao...pano naman ang mga nag antay ng matagal at gumastos pa ng katakot takot para makita ang pamilya dumaan pa sa pagkuha ng visa etc...
Have you personally experienced unfair offloading? ☹️
No, but I experienced the stress of my gf having to be interviewed right up until 40 minutes before boarding. we carefully watched videos on what she would need, gathered all documents - even our first messages to eachother from 3 years earlier. Photos, documents, signed affidavits, everything. I flew over specially to be there as further confirmation of our relationship, if necessary. The line for ticketing was very slow, and the line for passport control was slow. Finally, we got to the front and presented our passports together, mine was quickly stamped; her's...they waited and looked and waiting and looked, and then asked her to step out of line and head over to some offices located to the left of passport control. I was told to wait outside but I could see into the office, where she and 3 other women (no men!) waited. And waited. and waited. I think it was about 30 minutes later before she started her interview. And another 20-30 minutes before she came back out, successfully! Sadly, one of the other women was denied and off-loaded. My gf related to me that they asked for everything we had prepared, and when she mentioned that I'd met her family (my first trip there I took her family to lunch and we spend the day together) they ask for a photo as proof! Fortunately, she had one, but it is a sign that you can never be sure what they will ask or want. So be prepared to place your whole life story and every detail of your relationship in physical form (paperwork, photos, etc). Fortunately, since that first encounter, she has had no issues since.
Ms. Terri ask ko lang kung ganun p din b pag ang bata ay unvaccinated n 12 years old pababa pero may kasama n vaccinated n adult ay no need n mag antigen test? Salamat in advance.🙂
Miss Jennifer tanong ko lang kong ok ba magpa. Antigen test 2-3 hrs before the flight? Salamat
Still only Philippines is not lifting antigen test requirements.. gosh kung ang China nga wala na lifted na Bakit ba pinas required pa rin
Jennifer anong site ka nabili ng international ticket mo?thanks!
I could almost swear that we're the only country that gives their citizens so much stress/anxiety to travel.

i completely understand your plight as a sufferer of depression and sever anxiety, hang in there, take care
They will only change if people will unmask their abuses
I can clearly see you have not been to Cebu Mactain International Airport. NAIA is the North Korean Terminal of the Philippines. Cebu MActan is the Best one in the Philippines, hands down! Please do not compare us to Tanim Bala, mga walang hiya talaga na, kapal mukha pa ng mga Opisyales sa NAIA.
Akala ko ako lang ang hindi makatulog before the flight! 😅 NAIA should give refund to girl na nasa tiktok video, sayang po yung 27k..
There's another country doing that. North Korea. 😂

Bakit di tayo gumaya sa ibang bansa pag aalis you are free to go but when you’re arriving to another country that’s the time you get scrutinized by their immigration
Saka I classify nila
Kung OFW yan maglagay sila ng sariling line for them
Kung tourist then line for the tourist
Di naman mahirap yan kailangan lang I Ayos
Kasi ang pilipinas pinaka complicado at pinaka Magulo sa lahat
Walang disiplina
I’m a Filipino pero nakakapagod at nakaka stress ang Ganito ng sistema
Other Asian countries ang ayos pagdating mo pa lang sa airport nila
Sa hongkong me pila for domestic helper , tourist and residents
Sana ganon saka wag na tagalan ang pagtatanong
Kung suspicious why not pero patabihin mo na sa isang tabi itawag mo ng ibang immigration officer para di cla maka abala sa pila

There should be consequences for INVALID OFFLOADING against arrogant immig officers. Bayaran nila lahat ng damages and tanggalin sa trabaho pag nagkamali ng offload
I always ask, " Who Checks The Checkers?" To make sure their not abusing their powers.
The biggest problem is NOT having documents to show you are able to pay for your trip and will definitely return on return ticket. Ie Business in Philippines, family or Employment/Job.
At times they get to heavy handed. It's the 4% there looking for.... 96% are legally allowed and never need offloading.
Stop using rules against your own citizens. Most don't understand the situation or requirements.
It is obvious thats what they want. And it is business. If you think about it, you must have a consultant{paying them} to learn what is needed. I cannot imagine looking forward to your future and having the door slammed in your face. The whole system is because of people spread out over many islands not knowing what is going on in there own country. Just trying to survive. Shame on their own government.
It's important to SPEAK UP in these kinds of incidents!!! With social media, this is now possible!!!
Salamat Jen sa prompt urgent attention/panawagan sa Immigration authorities sa walang respect paggalang sa mga pinoy travellers overseas kadalasan and for calling the attention, too, to all concerned who are in the government.👍👏
Sana nga meron mandatory/statutory training sa mga lahat na staff from the bottom to the head and what not !
I believe the reason for the long interview & delay was because the immigration officer was hoping for a "bribe". I'm hoping the Philippines fixes this soon before travelers decide to go elsewhere. This information should be clear and on the website and followed by the immigration officer so this mess doesn't happen.
Agree. He was putting the passenger under stress so she would be pressured to give bribe money.
its a COMMAND RESPONSIBILITY, who to BLAME you may ask?
I currently work aboard and travel often. The overwhelming fear and anxiety in Filipino traveler's eyes are very noticeable. It is the silliest thing in the entire world to ask someone to see their school yearbook...I mean, come on...really???!!! What the heck does human trafficking have to do with a yearbook??? How absurd and child-like thinking is that. As the saying goes, "Only in the Philippines".
But BI denied that they are not asking the year book so funny si BI tanggi tanggi pa.
Kung hindi pagnanakaw ng mga airport staff, katangahan naman. When will the people incharged going to take responsibilities for hiring these criminals and incompetent employees? Under previous administration, wasn’t the person incharged, fired by the President? NAIA was moving in the right direction, with less scams and criminal activities, kasi may takot. Ngayon, wala nang takot😏
Good to see you here again Jennifer. Your updates are always helpful. In relation to the treatment of this woman just shows the incompetence of the officers. The immigration and process is so far behind and so unprofessional they show it is an embarrassment to the country
My Ph Fiancée and I have just completed Visa. Oh my Gulay the Certificates and Forms required for her to leave Ph Is just ridiculous. We think we have done everything then another Form or Certificate Is required. Can understand human trafficking etc but they treat Citizen's like children, and I heard Jealousy, corruption from Immigration Is rife In Manila Airport. Philippines It's 2023 sought out your Immigration and get rid of Corrupt Officials and workers stealing Luggage.
Makes you wonder if airline companies are part of this. Rebooking will increase their sales. Regardless, filipinos should have right to travel peacefully and easily as long as they have valid passport, plane ticket and no hold departure order. Let the host or receiving country do the rest. Asking for full iterinary and advance hotel bookings ruins the fun especially if you’re backpacking to many countries where you just wing it as you go. Ive been in some countries and they don’t have exit control for their citizens.
If it is must be PAL
@Niki Ta Yes, as long as you have a valid passport and an airline ticket, you are good to go! No questions asked!
In the US, when you comeback, they’ll just ask you where you went, how long did you stay abroad l mean, all relevant questions, no personal or invasion of privacy questions!
The IO will even say “welcome back” with a smile! Very professional attitudes ❤
@@perlaledesma5142 that's freedom and human rights respected, something you don't really see in Philippines
The old saying. Follow the money.😥
As soon as Filipino traveler has any issue in a foreign country they run to the Consul demanding assistance.
Hi Jen - yip it is nerve racking when a loved one goes through customs/ immigration in the Php. Also reviewing of personal mail etc is simply not right. However we followed your advice and she was allowed on her flight as a first time traveller. Thank you for your guidance
The immigration officer was asking for money from the passenger.
I agree with you 100% Jennifer. It does not appear they have a workable protocol of interviewing or training. Their job is not to prevent Filipinos from enjoying international travel. This is degrading action by the Bureau of Immigration who appear to have no respect for their own citizens or their rights. The politicians don't really give a damn how bad their government agencies treats its own citizens, or they would actually care to do something about it -- which they often don't.
We want Dutette back
Tama po dapat . Yan naman ayusin ng mga Senators . @RaffyTulfo in action. Sir please 🙏
Before my international travel to a country I've never been before (Brazil) last year, I took a lot of preparations after learning from people's immigration horror stories online. I almost had a series of panic attack episodes. But then on the actual day of my flight, my officer just let me pass through without so much hassles. This anxiety-resolving travel that is supposed to just be centered on pleasure and indulgence is so unnecessary.
When you see this kind of thing, it creates fears. Even for family immigration. One of the reason why my wife don't want to fly alone when she's getting her family immigration. And I told her I would be by her side and I will research all possibilities so that we have all documentation ready for when we will travel together to Norway ❤️
PS: I would love a detailed explanation for what is needed for family immigration just in case 😊
I bless all future flights for all of you, and that you will have ease at the immigration going forward. ❤
Hi. If she will migrate to Norway, she will need a CFO guidance & counselling certificate (as immigrant). This is aside from having the proper visa, etc.
Marriage certificate. Apostille, ROM anything from PSA.
Financial support surely.
My wife, she was my fiance at the time got offloaded on her way to Thailand, we had an affidavit of support, and she had enough money in her personal bank account to pay for all the expenses of the vacation, her brother was traveling with her, she had all the hotels paid for with both of our names on the reservations, all the tourist attractions we're paid for with receipts, and of course we lost all the money for the whole vacation because they offloaded her that we had paid for me, her brother, and her, it was quite frustrating, Her brother even had a note from his boss granting him time off for the vacation,,
Majority of them are stuck -up & rude also. I just went home & I've noticed they are not welcoming at all but full smile with the foreigners.
i’m at the NAIA right now, we are flying back to New york in couple hours, first our flight was moved from7pm to 9:10 and now they just announced for another delay😢, going through security check is horrible, they have to inspect all your luggage’s before you check in, so i advise everyone not to tape your bags or boxes because it’s a waste of time..
The first thing they should do is make sure that during an interview the whole process must be video and audio recorded. BI has lots of lowly educated people running the place.
Seems like immigration officers are having fun or games who could offload more in one day 😊
Brought 4 cousins with me to Malaysia, and 2 almost got offload. They were actually behind the door. Even though I told the IO I purchased their airfare tickets and lodging.
This Woman deserved a Highest Commendation from the Pilipino People!
Yes we experienced that offloadin last year dec. We just going to SG for vacation and celebrate my niece birthday, but the officer who interview to me and to my niece was look not in good mood that time so when its our turn for interview she already bad mood and after few questions and then she decided to denied us hayyysss crazy.
Should have sue them. You dont have hold departure order. We have rights to travel as long as we have valid passport, ticket and no hold departure order.
as alwalys great advice and information, i find it shameful that your goverment treat citizens in this manner.
The one in charge for BI should be accountable of what's happening to Filipino or Filipina travelling abroad too many questions and people miss their flights what a joke of a system! It's hurting people financially this should be address to the top official of the Government!
Bureau of immigration should have paid for her flight
JT, thanks for exposing all these corruption and harassment at NAIA.
You know what, a valid visa in the passporr should be enough, i experienced this with my girl friend trying to travel to Japan to visit me there where i was working at the time
I wish United Nations will notice this and call out Philippines. The government just doesn’t care, this incident maybe viral this week but after few weeks they will be back to power tripping again. I agree, the traveller should be able to leave easily without question as long as the traveller has valid passport, plane ticket and no hold departure order. Philippines is becoming North Korea
Hi jennifer puidi ba magtanong tungkol sa trip ko patungo sa USA dual citizen ako pero may layover sa Japan 11 hrs and 40 minutes kailangan ba may transit visa kung kailangan man saan kukuha at ilan araw bago makuha itong transit visa. Ano pa ang requirements patungo sa states na may layover sa Japan for almost 12 hrs. Please
Pakisagot naman kung puidi lang , maraming salamat Jennifer God Bless ...
The whole concept of “offloading” passengers is ridiculous and should be discontinued. Government needs to back off and stop this overreach. None of their freakin business.
Lately as we go home to the ,I'm having anxiety.We go home every year except during the pandemic.,I never have anxiety before but like I said I'm having anxiety .We went home last February',the day before our flight I ended up in the emergency because of my deep anxiety.It's such a long flight by the time you get home ,you are bone tired..At the carousel where you collect your suitcases,there are people pretending to be passengers pick up randomly suitcases and put it aside as theirs.It happened to us ,they pick up 2 Suitcases of ours ,good thing my sister recognized our suitcases that was put aside besides them.The guy watching those suitcases told my sister "you don't have any suitcases in there." My sister ask him if his family name is Pacis he couldn't answer .He just keep quite.....NAIA airport is a NIGHTMAREEEEEE
My cousin's friend was offloaded for a damn questions....Never refunded her tickets and hotel ( vacationing to Singapore) I think some of the IO are just freakin jealous or power tripping! Where's the freedom of an individual to freely travel? last time I checked Philippines is not a communist country!!! If Out of 30K of Filipinos being offloaded only 1k were victims of trafficking, what that says with the immigration branch? I hope and pray that the President will do something about this problem...It's unacceptable! Now, if immigrations wants to offload filipino travelers they should refund all their expenses since it's the immigration choice...The immigration must be accountable for ALL THE EXPENSES of filipinos travelers being offloaded!!! This is clearly abused of power!
Those BI officers should be called BS officers
Thank you for this update! God bless you! I am happy to know about masks being an optional thing! Hope covid tests are no longer necessary, too!🙂❤
Too many questions until you said magkano ba talaga ang gustong lagay? Yun lang. Obviously yours
immigration should be held accountable for the price of the flight if the cause someone to miss the flight or off loaded because they feel like it
great comments on immigration.thanks. ridiculous question for an adult passenger. one does not need parents consent. 😇🙏
Wow... I am just happy that I am not Filipino or live in that country. And I would never retire there...
Yup, I'm an American and have been retired and living in the Philippines since 2016. It's easy if you have a good pension and social security. I live very nicely on over $2000 US dollars a month. I travel domestically from the province to Manila about twice a year. I eat well and most importantly, have good friends here in the Philippines that take good care of me. It's a beautiful country with beautiful people and culture. But it's sad that immigration treat their own people the way they do. They need to have uniformed standards and proper education!!!!!
I agree with you, totally Ms. Jennifer
Some immigration officers are arrogant and abusive with their authority in Mactan airport. I've been threatened by a particular officer 3 out of my last 4 trips to the Philippines. This most recent trip I was interviewed and threatened for more than half an hour.
tama po kau mam....grave abuse of authority ng ilang imig officer...kakapal mga mu,kha! napaka rediculous mghanap ng yearbook mahanapan lang ng butas? grabe walang standard nakakahiya!!! only in Phils.....dapat jan kasuhan talaga ng maghinay hinay cla sa pg off load ng maraming kababayan natin. Sometimes depende sa knilang mood??? napaka unfair...marami sa knila malisyoso ang pg iisip. Dapat mabago n yan sa panahon ni BBM. Nakakahiya sa ibang bansa at nakakaawa din sa mga gusto lang naman mg tour.
If you have a million apologies in your hand, what do you have?? NOTHING! She had to pay extra to get to her destination.. Shame.
I’m glad she called out the officer’s name; I’m sure it garnered some unwanted notoriety at the very least or maybe suspension/termination at best!
Hi Jennifer, you have been very informative wirh your channel. Question? Why does our Immigration do this interview during departure from the Philippines. These type of questioning should be done by the Immigration Team on ARRIVAL to the country of destination. For me it is their responsibility to screen travellers entering their country. Seems like our BOI are complicating their protocols just for the sake of doing it. I live in the UK...After checking in, I go straight to Security then after that I will be at the waiting lounge to wait for the gates to be opened. Just my observation..keep up the good work
They claim it is to avoid human trafficking, but there doesn't seem to be a set protocol and proper training, so it depends on the IO's mood.
People should get the names of these so called officers and call them out.
Only the Philippines Immigration is asking for proof why you are traveling. It infringes on our privacy and dignity. To many questions are infringing in Privacy and are almost insulting.
Treating the Filipinos like Children when they Adults. What kind of Democracy is that? This is almost Authoritarian !!
Human rights don't exist for the poor people there...
@@SuperWinback It does exist, but is very limited. The whole system is corrupt do the core and that keeps the Citizens poor. You're right when you speak about the poor for they have no money to defend themselves. Rich people get their rights thru their Money.
four point pifteen perzent? what is for-dow-lent?
Yeah im a victim of BI also last year i visit my Sister in Singapore too much interrogation ginawa sa akin halos gusto ko ng umiyak dun super nakaka truama talaga sila mga walang konsensya kaya hindi na ako bumalik ng pinas for now i applying my permanent residence here i hate immigration in Philippines sana mabigyan ng hustisya ang mga kawawang na o offload nila
wala na talaga lunas sa devil immig yan ugali pinoy talamak sa sila kaya tawag sa kanila super demons
Why are there no consequences for immigration officers
Corruption?
NAIA Terminal 3 flying on Qatar Airways. March 12, 2023. Check was done online 48 hours prior so we were only there a Baggage drop. It only took 10 minutes from the opening of the Qatar counter to be on our way to Immigrations. 3 hours later my Filipina GF was still waiting for her exit interview. Immigrations only had 4 people doing interviews and each interview she witnessed took over an hour. The plane was already boarding, so I ask help from a Qatar Gate agent to push Immigrations into hurrying up. Boarding was at Gate 14 only 50 meters from Immigrations. Then Immigrations needed to interview me ( the Foreigner) asking me to show the same documents my GF had and then make me sign an affidavit. In the end we got to the gate just as final call was announced. In my mind Immigrations Interview delay was deliberate. I heard from my friend that at Cebu Mactan Airport it only was taking 15 minutes to clear Immigrations the day prior ( March 11, 2023 ) In the Future I will avoid NAIA. If it isn't the baggage theft sybdicate at NAIA, it the intentional delays at Immigrations. NAIA is full of incompetence.
When, I travelled to USA for the first time with complete VISA and a return tickets, one officer did that tome too. Hundreds of personal questions!!!!
BI/DFA need to develop a pre-clearance process anytime before a scheduled flight. Regional BI offices should have the authority to pre-screen travelers before they get to the airport and prevent unnecessary offloading. I believe that may help streamline the travel process and alleviate all the frustrations.
very logical and wise advice
I agree with you Jen . This immigration officers need some education and training.
Why not sack the corrupt ones? There are many unemployed citizens who will do a better job knowing they will be sacked if they get out of line.
In April my fiancé and her 11 year old daughter are flying to Hong Kong from Cebu (unfortunately 6am flight) for 3 days at Hong Kong Disneyland. They both have valid passport...proof of vaccine...return tickets...proof of hotel reservation fully prepaid....she will have both Hong Kong dollars and Philippine Peso as cash on her....proof of 100k balance in BPI account with ATM card to draw in Hong Kong....I prepaid for them travel insurance covering all medical. She has no credit card . I have pretty much prepaid for everything except meals, Im pretty sure they both need rapid covid test in cebu 24 hours prior..she will also have a printed itinerary of her 4 days in Hong Kong. Am I missing anything? Should I be worried with a 6am flight....I told her to be at airport 2am.
This is a simple Disneyland trip as a reward for her daughters excellence in school.....I hope it doesn't turn into a disaster.
Hi. Does she have a job or business? If not and she's unemployed (she has no financial capacity of her own)
, then you will need to provide an Affidavit of Support (AOS) for her & the child. The AOS must be authenticated in the PH embassy of your country of residence. She must also prove strong ties to return to PH.
Parang pier ng barko ang NAIA! People are stressed, worried, and congested.
😊thank you for the great video 👍
We missed you Jen. God Bless always 😊
My recent experience, departing naia terminal 3, I was asked to fill up the departure card while waiting in line at the check in counter. At the counter they took my card. On the immigration check, I had to fill out another departure card. I got so pissed, I asked myself, what is the purpose of epassport and still having to fill up the departure card?? I asked the staff only to be replied, " di ko po alam, fill upan nyo na lang". They dont know what they are doing!!!!
Minsan nd mo rin mpigilan n mag isip n ang dhilan ng habahaba pila ay waiting ng "LAGAY"
Thanks for great information. 👍
I go for 6 months just return 2 weeks ago to London will travel back on September 25
I experienced that offloading way back in 2019. They asked so.many questions, personal ones too. I'm going to meet my bf halfway to Indonesia because he is from OZ. After asking so many questions, showed them my itinerary, hotel bookings and round-trip flight, they stamped my ticket offload and told me that I can't cross over. They told me that, only my first degree family could invite me to travel as a tourist outside the country. At that time, there were a lot of people offloaded too. I wonder why it is hard dito satin na maka cross over sa immigration kapag magtravel ka, unlike other countries. 😞
Crab 🦀
personal questions asked that can be harrasment there, they are abusing of their power
Waiting for bribe money. Corruption is on the rise again at NAIA!
Envy...that's the reason
The IO should pay for the rebooking on the
Passengers they
Off loaded for no varied reason! That’s bad tourism for the Philippines
Maybe these immigration officers are jealous that they themselves can't afford to travel. It's so sad to me that they treat their own citizens like this. Immigration dept officers need more training and uninformed standards!!!!!!! 👍🇵🇭
I wonder if she had check in baggage because if she had the plane couldn't have left with her luggage on the plane.
My grand daughter was not allowed to board her flight on Cebu Pacific to Japan because her vaccine certificate showed her two vaccines were Sputnik although her booster shot was Pfizer. She was asked to present Rt PCR negative result to travel the next day. She had to pay for a new ticket as the original booking was together with her elder sister and her younger brother. Just for your info or comment.
If the passenger missed their flight because of too long interview by the immigration, the immigration should refund the plane ticket and visa fee.
Hello ma'am, Does e-travel still need to provide? If it does, please make another video when the e-travel is lifting up. Thank you
Yes. You still need the e-travel QR code before your flight.
I totally agree. They're not clear with their "requirements", they always end up asking for random documents.
Ang galing galing tlga ni ate jen mag vlog. Hanga ako sa fluent english speaking mo.👌👏🏻
Because she's FilAussie.
Hindi guarantee Yung upon arrival na tests like dun sa E-arrival ang sabi pwede sya e fill out upon arrival pero hahanapin Yun nang airline upon boarding.
Thank You Jennifer , For The Update.
It's Been Quite a While .Kinda Miss Your Update Videos 😊
Hi Jennifer thanks for updating us , it’s been a long time now , nice to hear you again, watching here in south of France ❤
Please Help us Raffy Tulfo 😢
Wasn't the lady in the video traveling to Israel?
And wasn't the immigration officer who interviewed her named Mohammed?
You say flights will be cheaper in April ? So why have they doubled in price as from April?
Immigration should have a standard questions to ask the passengers. No more irrelevant questions that’s making the line long & some passengers missing their flight.
I am afraid to go back to my own country because of things like this . I was watching Princess Jane Yiga or Tindera sa Africa about our airport employees not doing what they supposed to do. Nakakahiya po. MONEY money money iyan Lang gusto nila. Philippines Government need to clean the swamp. Sana mabigyan ng kasagutan at refund nila yong gastos ng mga bektima.
Always strange things, my wifes sister is taking care of her grandson while her daughter is working in Manila. She wants to come to Manila and bring he grandson to see his mother. But when trying to book an airplane ticket we get the message: "Children below 15 years old and traveling alone, or with a person other than their parents, are required to secure a permit to travel from the City Social Services and Development Office (CSSDO) "
This is usually for travel outside of the Philippines but in Davao it seems they ask for domestic travel too. Again a lack of standards. Not everyone is comfortable taking planes and going through the bureaucracy. Since she is from Cotabato and would take a bus to Davao for the plane, it is quite complicated to get that travel permit. She now might cancel her trip or worse go to the airport without the travel permit and maybe be offloaded....
Love your information what about the other requirements that's Philippines government has for travellers from international
Jennifer,
I agree the immigration officers need more training, so they can do the interview in decent amount of time so people can make there flights.
Why too much question di pa ba cla na kontento pg apply plang Ng visa gumastos k na at ngbigay na Ng mga dokumento hirap nsa pag apply Ng visa tpos di p mkaalis di MN lng cla naawa
Thanks you for the continous update.
Where do you recommend to get covid testing before departure from the Philippines?
I'm happy to see you again,, salamat po ❤, thank you for the information
First time namin bukas mag flight magkapatid (minor) to Japan. Sana makapasok kami 🫶
Hi. Aside from your visa, make sure that you have Affidavit of Support from your sponsor.
I'm going home visit my family using oneway ticket to Philippines and ask extended visa will they allow me to enter philippines ?
Hi. If you're a former Filipino citizen, bring your old PH passport or PSA birth cert. Then ask for balikbayan privilege (1 year stay) upon entry to PH.
Pansin ko lng bakit parang sa mga budget airline ito ngyayari T1 and T3 pero sana nman mabigyan pansin ito ng ating Gobyerno marami din kc mga kapwa Filipino nabibiktima ng maling akala
This only happens in the Philippines.
Finally! Thanks for the update
In my case, away talaga. Walang officer sa foreign passport section Tapos dalawa lang ang officer. One is for Philippine passport and the other one eh sa ASEAN passport. Yung nauna sa akin nag taray na sa Immigration officer kasi we both in the same flight and our boarding flight las call was 12:55 and that time it was already pass 12 midnight. Walang immigration officer !!!! Yung sa likod namin puro Ibang lahi and the queue is getting longer. Seriously !!! It happened last March 11.
Thank you Jennifer God Bless and take care
Kawawa naman mga tao...pano naman ang mga nag antay ng matagal at gumastos pa ng katakot takot para makita ang pamilya dumaan pa sa pagkuha ng visa etc...
Ms Jen, if traveling domestic po. Do you need vaccine as well?
I saw one interview, nonsense questions were being asked. Like this one's experience. Irrelevant questions. This has to Stop!
