By Appointment Na Ang Pag-apply & Renewal ng Philippines Passport


By Appointment Na Ang Pag-apply & Renewal ng Philippines Passport


Last May nang nagtungo ako ng POEA para kumuha ng OEC.  Sinamantala ko na rin ang pagkakataon para magparenew ng aking passport at mag apply ng bagong passport ang aking anak.  Nabigla ako sa sinabi ng security na by appointment na po ang pag kuha ng bago at pagrenew ng pass port. Sinabi ko sa sarili ko ng nag lagay pa sila ng extension DFA kung hindi ka rin magkakakuha.  Kaya sa aking pagkadismaya ay nilisan nalang namin ang POEA na hindi na tinignan ang iba pang mga detalye.

Kahapon ko lang nalaman na may bagong procedures na pala talaga ang pagkuha ng bago at pagrenew ng ating pass port.  Kaya hiningi ko ng permission ni Kuya Max para mailadhala ang kanyang artikulo. Para sa ganun ay lalo makaabot pa sa ating mga kababayan ang impormasyon na ito. Kaya maraming salamat po kuya Max.

Passport Application and Renewal, by Appointment Na 
Max Bringula (Abante ME Edition, 29 May 2010) 

Para sa kaalaman ng lahat, may bagong patakaran ngayon na pinatutupad ang Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) ng Pilipinas sa mga kumukuha ng bagong passport at nagre-renew, ito ang Passport Appointment System. 

Kung dati rati ay kailangang tumungo ng mga applicants, alas-kuwatro pa lang ng umaga sa dati nitong opisina sa Pasay City (malapit sa Cuneta Astrodome) upang mauna sa pila, ngayon ay hindi na. Yun lamang may appointment schedule (date and time) at appointment reference number ang makakapag-transact para kumuha ng bagong passport o mag-renew sa bagong opisina ng DFA Office of Consular Affairs (OCA) sa ASEANA Business Park, Bradco Avenue corner Macapagal Boulevard, Paranaque City (malapit sa SM Mall of Asia). 

Ang bagong patakarang ito ay inilunsad ng DFA-OCA upang maiayos at mapadali ang pag-apply ng bagong passport at pag-renew. Hindi na kailangan pang pumila ng mahaba ang isang aplikante tulad ng dati. At upang matiyak na ito ây maisasagawa, mahigpit na ipinapatupad ngayon ng DFA-OCA ang no appointment, no processing policy. 

Narito ang ilang mga dapat malaman sa Passport Appointment System. 

1) May dalawang pamamaraan ng pagkuha ng appointment: 

a) DFA Appointment Website  mag-log in sa www.passport. com.ph. 
b) DVA Appointment Hotline tumawag sa (02) 737-1000.

2) Tandaan ang inyong Reference Number na siya kakailanganin kapag nagtungo na sa DFA para sa inyong appointment schedule. 

3) Kailangang nasa DFA Consular Office ng 30 minutes before the appointment schedule. Early and late comers would not be entertained. Dapat eksaktong 30 minutes before the time ng iyong schedule ay naroroon ka na. 

4) Kailangan ang Physical appearance ng aplikante. Hindi pwede ang chaperone o kaya may proxy sa mga aplikanteng 18 years old and above. 

5) Bumalik sa araw ng Release Date ng inyong bagong passport. Samantala, maaari ring ipa-deliver na lamang sa inyong address ang passport at hindi na kailangan pang bumalik sa DFA. Tumungo lamang sa Delivery Counter para magbayad ng delivery fee kung nais na ipa-deliver ang passport. 

Kung may karagdagang katanungan o nangangailangan ng paglilinaw, maaaring tawagan ng OFW at pamilya nito ang DFA sa mga sumusunod na numero: 831-8971; 551-4437; 551-4402; 834-4424; 836-7760; 836-7748, 836-7750 at 834-4835. 

e-Passport, Available Na Samantala, maaari ng mag-avail ang sinuman ng e-Passport (o Philippine Electronic Passport). Ito ang siyang ipinamamahagi na sa mga bagong nag-a-apply ng passport at sa mga nagre-renew sa Pilipinas. Mas highly-secured ang e-Passport kumpara sa MRP o sa dating green passport. Ang e-Passport ay hindi pwedeng ma-tamper kung kaya ât nakapagbibigay ito ng mas mainam na border protection at security sa mga mayroon nito. 

Sa e-Passport, di na kailangan pang magdala ng passport photos dahil may mahine na gagamitin na siyang magka-capture ng image at personal data. 

Ang Fees na babayaran para sa e-Passport ay ang sumusunod :

Regular Processing (20 days) PHP 950.00 
Express Processing (10 days) PHP 1,200.00 
Lost Passpport (additional fee) PHP 200.00

Magsisimula na ring mag-issue ang Philippine Embassy ng e-Passport. Sa Riyadh, hinihintay na lamang ang makina na gagamitin. Ang e-Passport ang siyang ipapalit sa dating MRP (machine-readable passport).

The Amendatory Law on RA 8042 - Compulsory Insurance

The Amendatory Law on RA 8042 - Compulsory Insurance



Dear fellow migrants. I am not so much in the Laws issue. But I want to repost this email that I have received, merely it concern Migrants or OFW.  Do you agree that we should have a compulsory insurance as stated in the RA8042. Please leave your comments. Let our voice be heard. Thank you!

Here is the email:

The amendatory law on ra8042 is now in malacanang. one of 3 things will  happen to the amendatory law by march 8 (monday/ international women's day):
(1) the president will sign it into law; or
(2) the document will lapse into law if she does not do anything on it; or
(3) she can exercise her veto powers, in which case, the entire amendatory law does not become a law, leaving it to the incoming 15th congress to do something about it...

In a meeting today, the CCOFW (consultative council on ofws) resolved to submit a statement to the president to strongly request her to veto the amendatory law specifically in reference to the compulsory insurance for migrants recruited by agencies (both land-based and sea-based) and the non-amendment of the proviso on money claims in regard to the maximum claims for a migrant who is unjustly terminated (the maximum is the equivalent of 3 months) which the supreme court declared unconstitutional and not in conformity with the labor code provisions.

The statement will be ready for signatures by 11am at the office of POEA deputy administrator hans cacdac at the 5th floor of poea.

All ccofw member NGOs/ CSOs are requested to go to POEA tomorrow to endorse it by signing on it.

For those who are far from POEA or who cannot go to POEA , in the Philippines and OVERSEAS, you may endorse the petition by sending us an email to this effect, with your  e-signature if possible.... your confirmation emails will be attached to the statement for submission to the president tomorrow before 5pm, manila time.

For your reference, on what the issue is all about, kindly click on http://www.pinoy-abroad.net/lungga/index.shtml for the ngo-trade union statement against the compulsory insurance issue.

apologies that this effort may be short notice and last minute, but let's give it one last try. let us call on the president to veto the amendatory law on ra8042. Migrants Rights Groups and Trade Unions say NO to the Proposed Compulsory Insurance Coverage for OFWs in RA8042! YES to OFW Protection! Download

salamat.
on behalf of ccofw.
