CFO class....corruption in the Philippines

[bgamb 3]

Let's not forget terminal fees. And for a short while they were supposed to all be embedded in airline ticket prices. That worked out well.

Speaking of terminal fees...what are they for my fiancee?

I think I had paid 550? departure fee

But she will have to pay 2 different fees?

I experienced it before on NBI,, I know my name got a "HIT" and I need to wait another 21 days (on satellites) and 10 days (on NBI-Main) to clear my name and i asked the front desk that I badly need it in a week and I just need another copy because I just get one 3 months ago,,so we talked and he told me I need to give him a good lunch maybe because he saw I have Foreign surname ha ha,.. I became a VIP,..I did not go to step 1-3. I got my Clearance in 2 hours.When I was going out I saw the same man talking with other applicants again I just ignore him and walk fast out of that building ha ha. I know he's doing that everyday.. at least he became good samaritan unexpectedly .

Yes for your fiancée there will be two fees. Everyone passing through NAIA pays the terminal fee. Your fiancée will also have to pay a travel tax of 1,620 P, that can be paid at the counter between the two front entrances (luggage scanners).

Unfortunately, she should 't have tolerated it. She should have stood her ground and demanded why was there a need for a further interview and... She should have threatened to report them.

I'm sorry if this sounds terribly blunt, but I have never given in to that kind of scheming in Philippine government agencies.

Corruption is human based not country specific

America is as corrupt as any 3rd world country; they just do it in another form

GSA/IRS - throws big galas for itself at the expense of the tax payers

The President is paid off to pardon incarcerated crooks

Congress and their aides do insider trading for laws they pass

Corruption is anywhere there are humans; USA is no different

- maybe that is why the "Forest Gumps" at SSA are being butts about issuing SSN to newly married K1.... they are looking for "lunch money".
