'Di bakunado, 'di na makag-proseso ng passport sa mga malls at consular offices ng DFA





MANILA, Philippines — NAGLABAS ngayon ng abiso ang Department of Foreign Affairs o DFA na hindi na tatanggapin sa kanilang mga consular offices at off-site mall passport services na nasa Alert Level 3 areas ang mga hindi pa bakunado laban sa Covid-19.

Sa advisory, nilinaw ng DFA na ang pagbabawal sa pagpasok ng mga hindi pa nabakunahan laban sa Covid-19 ay ipinatutupad ng mga shopping malls kung nasaan ang kanilang consular offices at Temporary Off-Site Passport Services at TOPS.

“The [DFA]…informs the public that its Consular Offices (COs) and [TOPS] located in malls in areas where at least Alert Level 3 is raised will not be able to accommodate unvaccinated individuals, including minors, due to the restrictions imposed by their host malls barring the entry of unvaccinated persons,” paliwanag ng DFA.

“Consular Offices are unable to override the host malls’ security and health protocols,” dagdag pa nito.

Pinayuhan naman ng DFA ang mga hindi pa bakunadong mga aplikante kasama na ang mga minor de edad na i-check muna ang regulations ng mga malls kung saan naroon ang kanilang opisina bago pumunta para sa kanilang appointments.

Maaari naman umanong i-reschedule ng mga apektadong aplikante ang kanilang appointment sakaling maging fully-vaccinated na laban sa Covid-19 o “after malls and local government units have lifted the entry restriction on unvaccinated persons.”

“The Department requests the public’s cooperation as it strives to deliver passport services to the public while ensuring the public’s safety and health amidst the ongoing pandemic,” pahayag ng DFA.

Matatandaan na isinailalim ng gobyerno sa mas istriktong Alert Level 3 hanggang Enero 3 ang Metro Manila dahil sa labis na pagtaas ng bagong kaso ng Covid-19.

Maliban sa Metro Manila, nasa Alert Level 3 din simula Enero 5 ang mga probinsiya ng Bulacan, Cavite, at Rizal na tatagal din hanggang Enero 15.

Nananatili naman sa Alert Level 2 ang natitirang bahagi ng bansa.

Applying or Renewing for Passport? Check the Valid ID's Accepted by DFA






Whether you are planning to work or travel abroad, a valid Philippine passport is one of the most important things you must have because, without it, you can't leave the country.

Applying for a Philippine passport is now easy with more online appointment slots available and a simplified process. In fact, you can apply for passport hassle-free if you study the process first and complete the requirements needed before proceeding to the Department of Foreign Affairs. 

One of the most important requirements in the process is a valid identification card or ID. But remember that not all valid IDs are accepted in the DFA.

 So if you are planning to apply or renew your passport, the Department of Foreign Affairs accepts at least one of the following valid IDs with one photocopy.

The Postal ID presented must be valid during the time of the passport application. Valid Postal IDs are those that were issued starting November 2016.

No Advance Payment, No Passport Appointment in DFA-ASEANA


Advertisement


To avoid no-show and to prevent fixers from reserving slots and selling them to passport applicants, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) now requires prepayment for passport application and renewal. Last April 14, DFA has started its e-payment system in ASEANA with a goal to make passport processing faster and more convenient. In an advisory, DFA said that starting April 14, all passport application and renewal appointments at the DFA-Aseana site will require pre-payment via its Passport e-payment facility. The e-payment system allows passport applicants to pay the processing fee through banks and other platforms. Cimafranca said this system is expected to prevent fixers from reserving slots and selling them to passport applicants. It is also seen to improve show-up rates.

If a consolidated version out of this three laws or even one of this would come into law, this is a great help for our modern day heroes, our Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs). These 2018 three bills are being filed in the House of Representatives seeking to provide retirement benefits and welfare assistance to OFWs

The Canadian government will no longer accept an application for permanent residency from caregivers starting November 2019. Because of this, applicants to the program including many Filipino caregivers are unhappy with the news. The Philippines is among the top source of Canada's caregiver.

Every Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) should be an active member of Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA). Through this membership, OFWs can avail of loans, acquire scholarship from TESDA, and avail of livelihood and entrepreneurship seminars and other reintegration programs upon their return to the Philippines.
