Emigration Clearance Certificate

[JT114881 2]

First of all, my wife got her visa and we are leaving on the 29th WOOOOO!

Ok now my question: I have been in the Philippines for over 6 months and I understand I need to get an "exit clearance" at the

immigration office for myself (U.S. Citizen and ACR-I Card holder).

My question is, what are the reasons for denial of exit clearance? I am leaving a bill here (PLDT because they really did me wrong so

I refuse to pay them, long story) worth around 4000 pesos. My question is, will immigration see this unpaid bill and deny me exit clearance

due to the unpaid bill?

I don't know if this is really the place to be asking but I have searched everywhere and I cannot find an answer to this question, and you

guys are always helpful. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Having a disputed bill with PLDT does not result in ECC denial. You can only be denied exit if there is a hold departure order against you.
