Starting June, Filipinos May Enter Taiwan Visa-Free

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) announced that Filipinos will be granted visa-free access to Taiwan starting on June 1, 2017. The visa exemption for Filipinos has a duration of up to 30 days, which will be implemented on a trial basis for a period of one year, from June 1, 2017 to July 31, 2018, the ministry said. The government also extended the 30-day visa exemption for Thai and Brunei nationals to one year. Taiwan is gradually removing barriers and obstacles regarding visa procedures including extending visa-free privileges for these countries.The visa application time is also hastened, the ministry said. Since Taiwan offered visa-free entry to the neighboring countries in Southeast Asia, they have seen significant growth in the number of visitors coming to their country. In January, according to the government data, the number of South and Southeast Asian visitors in Taiwan reached 68,000, marking an increase of 42.8 % -- the biggest growth in the period of four years. Taiwan can be a good tourist destination for Filipinos. It will only take approximately two hours travel to go there. Source: Taiwan News Recommended: The PNP advised those who are going for a holiday getaway to make sure that somebody is in the house, shop or establishment before leaving, or in cases where nobody will be there to guard the premises, make sure that the doors and windows are securely locked. They also advised people to make sure to unplug all electrical devices and appliances to prevent any trouble or fire that can be caused by overheated electrical appliances. 2017 Top 10 IDEAS for OFWs to Invest The OFWs are the reason why President Rodrigo Duterte is pushing through with the campaign on illegal drugs, acknowledging their hardships and sacrifices. He said that as he visit the countries where there are OFWs, he has heard sad stories about them: sexually abused Filipinas,domestic helpers being forced to work on a number of employers. "I have been to many places. I have been to the Middle East. You know, the husband is working in one place, the wife in another country. The so many sad stories I hear about our women being raped, abused sexually," The President said. About Filipino domestic helpers, he said: "If you are working on a family and the employer's sibling doesn't have a helper, you will also work for them. And if in a compound,the son-in-law of the employer is also living in there, you will also work for him.So, they would finish their work on sunrise." He even refer to the OFWs being similar to the African slaves because of the situation that they have been into for the sake of their families back home. Citing instances that some of them, out of deep despair, resorted to ending their own lives. The President also said that he finds it heartbreaking to know that after all the sacrifices of the OFWs working abroad for the future of their families they would come home just to learn that their children has been into illegal drugs. "I made no bones about my hatred. I said, 'If you do drugs in my city, if you destroy our daughters and sons, I'll just have to kill you.' I repeated the same warning when i became president," he said. Critics of the so-called violent war on drugs under President Duterte's administration includes local and international human rights groups, linking the campaign on thousands of drug-related killings. Police figures show that legitimate police operations have led to over 2,600 deaths of individuals involved in drugs since the war on drugs began. However, the war on drugs has been evident that the extent of drug menace should be taken seriously. The drug personalities includes high ranking officials and they thrive in the expense of our own children,if not being into drugs, being victimized by drug related crimes. The campaign on illegal drugs has somehow made a statement among the drug pushers and addicts. If the common citizen fear walking on the streets at night worrying about the drug addicts lurking in the dark, now they can walk peacefully while the drug addicts hide in fear that the police authorities might get them.
