Why would a PI citizen need to get this?

 

I never did anything silly like that when I purchase motorbike?

 

Had a friend have to get clearance from both before they were able to buy a motorbike, I have never heard of such silliness before.  What is the reason?

As its been said before, because its more Ph(f)un in the Philippines. 

 

No reason of course except a new way for someone to charge money. I will relate shortly what my fiance had to go through to get Travel Authority to leave her city, Zamboanga.

Please do I enjoy hearing some of the insanity the people of Philippines have to go thru on a daily basis.

 

I have made many trips to Philippines, I am still amazed to see the people there packed in like rats on Jeepneys or buses, or see them riding delipidated trains like the one they have in Manila.
