'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.

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) continues to implement new programs and project this year just to make passport application and renewal easy as 1,2, and 3. The most common problem a Filipino may face in passport application or renewal is securing a slot in an online appointment. Perhaps this is the most common complaints of people who want to apply or renew a passport.   But what DFA is doing to improve the whole passport application process? In this post, we will give emphasis to the new things introduced by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to slowly solve the problem. As what DFA Secretary Peter Allan Cayetano said, "we owe the public and efficient, fast, and safe passporting system".  1.  30,000 passports a day  This is the goal of the DFA that before the end of the year, the agency will be able to produce 30,000 passports per day without compromising the document's security. According to Cayetano, the public can expect for a much easier way to secure an online appointment be it for application or renewal. Currently, DFA can process 19,000 passports per day from 9,500 output per day in 2016.  2.  More Passport on Wheels, Extended Office Hours  To achieve the target of 30,000 passports per day, DFA confirms that they have eight vans with five printing machines each.  These vans were added to DFA's passport on wheels. Each machine can print 100 passports. DFA's office hour is already extended to cater more passport applicants. DFA is also open on Saturdays to speed up the application.  In addition to this, slots for travel agencies are reduced but this is in contrary to the earlier statement of DFA that travel agencies appointment slots have been removed to give back to the Filipino public.  Express lanes for a person with disabilities (PWDs) single parents, senior citizens, OFWs and children below seven years old are still implemented.  3. ePayment System  The ePayment system has been launched in June and being used by 94 percent of passport applicant according to DFA. With the ePayment system, passport applicants can now pay the fees in Bayad Centers and other venues such as 7-Eleven.  4. Additional Consular Offices  To make passport application or renewal hassle-free, eight consular offices are set to open this 2018! Four are already in the process. Two of these are operational and located in the Santiago City of Isabela and San Nicolas in Ilocos Norte.  5. Passport Printing Machines in Other Countries  For the benefit of Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and overseas Filipinos, Cayetano is pushing for passport printing machines to be set-up in the United States, and probably in the Middle East or Europe. With passport printing machines, the finished passports will no longer be mailed to these regions, instead, it can be printed directly in the area.   There you go! According to Secretary Cayetano, the DFA is doing its best to implement all of these five programs this year. So for people out there who are planning to apply for a passport or to renew, just take a little patient with you in this whole process.

Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) that abandons his wife and children in the Philippines is not a new story to all of us. But as the one who is being left behind with children to raise up, what should you do?  Husbands are bound by law to give financial support to his family especially his children. According to the Family Code of the Philippines, wife and her children should receive financial support including sustenance, dwelling, clothing, medical attendance, education, transportation, etc. On the other hand, Anti-Violence against Women and Their Children Act of 2004 Section 5 (e) states that depriving the woman and her children of financial support legally due her or her family is a crime punishable by time in jail and a fine of no less than P100,000. Aside from this, it is also a crime that is punishable by law to deliberately provide the woman's children insufficient financial support.  Who Can File For A Financial Support?  The victim can apply directly. If the applicant is not the victim then an affidavit of the applicant should be presented. The affidavit should include the circumstances of abuse suffered by the victim and the circumstances of consent given by the victim for filling the application.  How to file?  A wife can ask for support in writing, and it should be signed and verified under oath.  In your application, you may be asked the following:  You and your husband’s names and addresses Description of relationship Statement of the circumstance of the abuse (including abandonment and no provision of support) and a description of the reliefs requested: Request for counsel and reasons for such Request for waiver of application fees for hearing and An attestation that there is no pending application for a protection order in another court.  Where to apply?  An applicant can apply to any regional, metropolitan, municipal and municipal circuit trial courts with territorial jurisdiction over the place where the woman lives.  How much can financial support be received?  The amount of support will be deduced from the needs of the woman and children and the means of the husband. This amount can be reduced or increased also depending on the same variables. While the case is being heard in court, the wife can already receive some financial support by asking for pendent lite. The husband should send an allowance within the first five days of every month.  What if the husband refuses to communicate?  Although the Philippine court does not have jurisdiction over your husband as long as he is out of the country, you can still file a petition as soon as he goes home. File a Protection Order under RA 9262 and a Hold Departure Order.  Once granted the Protection Order, the judge will direct the employer of your husband to remit support directly to you and your children. If the employer disregards this notice, they can be penalized for contempt of court and be imprisoned and fined.

All You Need To Know About Appointment And Passport Renewal In Saudi Arabia

 While appointment slots for passport application and renewal is seemingly a big problem in the Philippines, Filipino migrants are experiencing difficulties in their passport renewal while abroad. Many would rather spend a portion of their vacation just to renew their passport at the Consular office of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) at Aseana and taking the opportunity to enjoy the privilege of the courtesy lane provided by the DFA for OFWs. Some would also renew their passport especially if they have a passport which is expiring very soon. If you are an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who is working in Saudi Arabia and your passport is in near expiry, you can contact or go personally to the  Philippine Embassy or consulate nearest your area. Of course, you may need first to secure an appointment and you can do it by visiting the official website of the Philippines Embassy in Saudi Arabia at http://philembassyriyadh.checkappointments.com/.

 While appointment slots for passport application and renewal is seemingly a big problem in the Philippines, Filipino migrants are experiencing difficulties in their passport renewal while abroad. Many would rather spend a portion of their vacation just to renew their passport at the Consular office of the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) at Aseana and taking the opportunity to enjoy the privilege of the courtesy lane provided by the DFA for OFWs. Some would also renew their passport especially if they have a passport which is expiring very soon. If you are an overseas Filipino worker (OFW) who is working in Saudi Arabia and your passport is in near expiry, you can contact or go personally to the  Philippine Embassy or consulate nearest your area. Of course, you may need first to secure an appointment and you can do it by visiting the official website of the Philippines Embassy in Saudi Arabia at http://philembassyriyadh.checkappointments.com/.
