Binalitaan din pala ako ng friend namin na nasa Adelaide.. base daw sa local news doon eh medyo nagkaron daw ng added verification para sa mga migrant lalo na sa countries na may terrorism scare. Eto siguro isa dahilan ng pagbagal ng takbo.

@shemsimi musta na? smooth ang flow namin from manila to sydney. medyo maraming inspection nga lang dito sa manila: 1. before immigration (bago ito para sa amin) 2. after immigration 3. gate entrance (bago rin ito para sa amin). madami din kaming pasaherong kasabay kaya mahaba pila sa checkin, kaya agahan mo mga 4-3hrs before departure time mo.
both manila & sydney immigration, hindi na hiningi yung visa grant letter, pero dalhin mo na rin in case. wala na rin tinanong samin sa immigration. pagkaclaim namin ng baggage, wala ng inpection, derederecho kame sa exit, unlike sa mga temporary visa may inspection pa ulet.
ayan so no need to worry much, relax lang and ienjoy ang stay sa Pinas!
