problems at the airport

[rheanick 42]

You need Php 750 for the terminal fee.

If you need to pay travel tax, bring Php 1700, i forgot the exact amt.

And bring ballpen to for writing your info on the embarkation card.

If you want to eat inside the airport, bring Php 200 for a sandwich and pineapple juice.

If you are flying business class, enjoy the food in their lodge.

i thought i got everything already.. my flight was booked 12th of january.. but unfortunately.. i didn't see the other note attached with the warning notice that i have to attend counseling.. and yeah.. it was embarrassing.. im a balikbayan in 4hours after stepping inside the airport! it was my fault

but i blame most of it to the one who packed the packet. it says warning do not open or attempt to open.. just check ur passport.. so all i did was i took my passport out and kept the packet, i didnt bother to take it out of the plastic. if only they did not attached the warning notice and they put it where it can be noticed easily.. there shud be no problems. (govt employees are always rude!! the travel tax ppol and the CFO guy/gay was very mean insyd the naia terminal 1!) so i already have the freaking sticker on my passport.. but i just want to make sure ill be able to leave tomorrow.. coz my fiance rebooked my flight for tomorrow.. pls let me know wat else are needed.. please!!!

ok.. me and my fiance checked everything online.. we never heard of CFO (commission on filipino overseas) counseling. when i received the visa packet there was this notice that says WARNING! in bold letters. and it says DO NOT OPEN, OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO OPEN, THE VISA PACKET OR YELLOW WNVELOPE. YOU MAY ONLY OPEN THE PLASTIC POUCH TO RETRIEVE YOUR PASSPORT. YOU WILL EXPERIENCE A SIGNIFICANT DELAY IF THE VISA PACKET OR YELLOW ENVELOPE IS TORN. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENPLANE OR YOU WILL ENCOUNTER DIFFICULTIES AT ANY UNITED STATES PORT OF ENTRY. so i just took my passport out.. kept the packet inside the bag so it'll be safe. i was scheduled to leave on the 12th of january.. then the guy at the airline counter said ma'am u need to pay the travel tax which is P1620 and the and i forgot the other fee but its for 750. so i went to the travel and tax counter and they said u go to the CFO counter. so i did and the guy was sooo mean. so yeah i didnt know about the counseling.. if ull take out the paper that says warning do not open there's another sheet of paper attached saying you have to attend the counseling.. so i went home. it was my fault i know, but they shudve put the other sheet of paper where it can be noticed. so i went home and had the counseling the next day. i jsut want to know if there are things that i still need to do or to have before i go to the airport tomorrow. i just want to make ill be on the plane and be with the guy ill spend the rest of my life with.

I was just curious... why do you need the CFO counselling or certificate?

they will tell you what to do in case ur hubby is beating u up.. if ure experiencing any kind of abuse, they will tell u wat u can do. and there'll be a one on one interview, just to make sure u know ur partner well..
