Mga besh, knows n’yo bang may bago nang guidelines bago mag-abroad?

NAGBABALAK ba kayong mag-abroad?

Nako, kailangan niyong malaman na may ipatutupad na bagong guidelines para sa mga Pilipinong babiyahe sa ibang bansa.

Magsisimula ‘yan sa darating na September 3.

Ayon sa Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT), magiging mas mahigpit sa departure screening na kung saan ay kailangan niyong magpakita ng mas maraming dokumento.

Ang pagbabago, anila, ng protocol ay upang malabanan at maiwasan ang “human trafficking.”

“It is of paramount importance to emphasize that the Revised Guidelines have been formulated not to encroach upon the fundamental right to travel, but to serve as a protective bulwark shielding our fellow citizens from the dire perils of human trafficking,” sey sa inilabas na pahayag ng IACAT.

Dagdag pa, “IACAT ardently anticipates that the enforcement of these meticulously refined Guidelines, complemented by an enhanced regime of information dissemination, will effectuate a palpable reduction, if not outright elimination, of human trafficking incidents.”

Narito na ngayon ang mga pangunahing dokumento na kailangan sa pag-aabroad, base sa revised guidelines:

Tandaan mga ka-Bandera, mapipigilan lamang ang pag-alis ng pasahero kapag napatunayang peke ang mga ibinigay na detalye at dokumento.

Kaya bago mag-travel, siguraduhing alam ninyo ang mga kailangang dalhin na requirements at maging totoo sa kausap na IO.

Nang sa gayon ay tiyak na maging maayos at walang iniisip na problema o stress bago mamasyal sa ibang bansa.
