Many don't really agree with the need for an alcohol ban but do see the value of wearing a mask. Yes, that is obvious. I was mearly pointing out the total hypocrisy that has been half of this thread.

That’s all I can say. This is obviously dependent on the barangay and what rules they decide. Foreigners have posted here they have received or been offered goods. Someone I know received aid just the other day for the second or third time, this time they decided to keep it for themselves , just the two of them. What if you were as poor as the inlaws which could be the case for some people so then what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you were as poor as the inlaws which could be the case for some people so then what? Just like everything else in the Philippines, it all depends on where you live (i.e., Province/Barangay) and even who you know. For example, LTO experiences will vary depending on location. Some LTO's will make you pee and others won't. I had a good experience at the LTO because I knew the office manager, since was my neighbor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollygoodfellow Posted May 22, 2020 Author Posted May 22, 2020 Follow up on the guy who made the news and now probably wished he kept his mouth shut. PRESS RELEASE 22 May 2020 BI charges Spanish in Dasma incident for undesirability, overstaying MANILA, Philippines—the Bureau of Immigration (BI) has charged Javier Salvador Parra for undesirability and overstaying. BI Commissioner Jaime Morente confirmed that a deportation charge has been filed against Salvador Parra, whose viral video made rounds on social media earlier this month after he was almost arrested by Makati police for allegedly violating Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) policies. Salvador Parra’s househelp was reportedly accosted for not wearing a facemask while watering plants outside the house. She then went inside the house, after which Salvador Parra came out to confront the authorities and allegedly hurled expletives to the police. “Foreign nationals who are here in the country are expected to follow Philippine laws, especially in these special times wherein public health and safety is at risk,” said Morente. “There is no exemption, whether you are living in a posh village, or in a slum area, you must obey the law,” he added. According to the BI, foreign nationals who blatantly disregard laws and disrespect persons of authority may be considered undesirable aliens. “Aliens who disrespect symbols of our country and persons of authority are not welcome in the Philippines. Their sojourn here is a privilege, not a right. It is in the same manner that our kababayan who are living and working abroad respect the laws of their host country,” Morente stated. Apart from undesirability, Salvador Parra likewise face deportation for overstaying. “Upon investigation by our intelligence division, it was confirmed that he has failed to extend and has already overstayed his visa,” Morente shared. BI legal officers added that Salvador Parra was ordered to submit a counter-affidavit to answer the reports against him, but he reportedly refused to receive the notice and disregarded the requirement, which was due last May 21. “Our offices remained open to receive his response, but he failed to submit any,” said Morente. He added that they are intent on pursuing the case to serve as a warning for aliens disregarding the law. Morente stated that the deportation case is a separate action from criminal cases that have been filed by the police against the Spanish national. https://www.facebook.com/immigration.helpline.ph/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he was overstayed due to the lockdown? Yes exactly. As Jack said, I doubt it but either way now that he has upset someone they will find a way to make life difficult. Nice house with maid so anyone looking for a new GF and place to stay? Just to add, they gave him a chance to have his say but wont do so. Not sure if he has legal advice or stubborn but if l was him l would be apologizing and crawling all the way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
