THE Department of Justice has suspended the implementation of the recently revised guidelines on departure formalities for outbound Filipino passengers issued by the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking .
Zubiri even likened new guidelines to the rules of North Korea that bar its citizens from travelling abroad. They are also required basic travel documents, a passport, valid at least six months from the date of departure, an appropriate valid visa , a boarding pass, and a confirmed return or round trip ticket, when necessary.
The passenger may only be allowed to leave after sufficiently establishing his or her declared purpose of travel. The new guidelines were issued by the IACAT amid criticisms from the public after several travelers claimed that they missed their flight due to lengthy questioning from immigration officers, who also asked them to present documents deemed unnecessary by passengers.In a statement, the DOJ through Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla defended the revised guidelines, saying it was crafted to streamline the departure procedures and not to curtail people’s right to travel.
