Ang dami na kasing pinoy na nahuli sa airport. Sana walang sumabit na member dito kasi may chance ma-cancel ang visa. Hirap i-explain yan sa family at may record pa kayo.
Yung trabaho ko many many years ago may kinalaman sa monitoring nang cases, so ingat guys.

Pag pumunta ka naman sa 2dollar shops, dami binebenta from China na made of wood and other native materials. So not sure if okay magpasok if you declare it, and I think they might quarantine or spray with insecticide kung duda sila na may bukbok, etc.

tapos meron naman nakitang ipis/insect sa loob ng bagahe... especially kung matagal nang hindi nagamit ang bag or nagstay sa mga hostel/backpackers...
so i suggest wag na lang dalhin.. or i declare na lang...para sila mag decide if its okay or not..

Ang medyo lito ako is kung pwedeng magpasok nang meat sa Pinas. Lagi akong nagdadala nang steak and dapat yata i-declare, which I don't. Notice ko lang, yung ibang Pinoy na may dalang meat products nalilito din. Can't remember baka yung declaration form medyo nakaka intimidate.
Mas ok pa nga pag from Oz to Sg ako, walang kaba sa customs kasi pwede magpasok nang kahit anong pagkain.
