Pwde po sa NAB na bank. Pwde ka din magsend on that account while in Phils. Pagdating mo doon, iverify lang nila identity mo. Please bring pasport, visa grant, boarding pass para sa 100% verification.

Inquire ka sa BDO bout international money transfer, western union, worldremit, or any remittances. Taga SG po kami kaya iba sa amin, DBS bank transfer lang and zero fee..

hindi naman kami hinanapan ng ctc nung nag apply kami sa centrelink, anyway kung maginsist sila, punta ka ng pharmacy, any pharmacist can do it, before libre lang yan, ngayun yata nag charge sila 1-2$ per document....
kung may kakilala kang doctor o accountant pwede din sila....

Hello! My family and I are planning for the BM this early July sana. We've checked sa PAL and may mga available flights naman. But we've been reading about registrations with the embassy on flights? Do we need to do that first before we book our tickets with PAL?

Kami hindi na umasa sa commercial flights hanggat hindi tapos ecq kasi parang hindi bumabalik sa normal yun mga flights. Kung commercial flight di mo na kailangan magpa register sa embassy. Kung repatriation flight, kailangan mo inform embassy na interested ka. Natutuloy kasi pag madami interested

I see. So for commercial flights, mataas ang likelihood na ma cancel siya? If ma cancel, free rebooking ba siya sa PAL? And for repatriation flight naman, how to express our interest? Is there a link po ba?

Kami din po family of four, 1 infant din.
Pag ibang airline po ba need pa magparegister sa embassy? Kasi parang ang pagkakaintindi ko po don sa sinabi sa PAL hinde daw po nakakaalis ung mga hindi nakaregister sa embassy kahit may ticket.

Mag reregister po sa embassy para sa repatriation flight. Ang repatriation flight po na nangyari ng April 18 at April 28 is via PAL. Kung commercial flight po ang kukunin nyo, kahit PAL pa, no need magpa register. yung sinasabi ng PAL na June 1, baka repatriation flight yun kung sinasabi nila na dapat mgparegister.
Kami po naka sked ng May 28th, cebupac. Nun nagsabi si Pres Duterte na mag extend ang ecq til May 15th, nag decide kami na sumama na sa repatriation flight. 4 days lang naging preparation namin. Kasi naisip ko pag ecq nag cacancel yun mga airlines ng flight. True enough, cancelled na yun cebpac namin, rerefund ko nalang..
So yun po, kung magpapabook ka ng commercial flight(PAL or any other airline),hindi mo kailangan mag register sa embassy. Hindi nakakaalis kasi nakacancel ang flight bawat extension ng ecq. Kung maghihintay ka ng repat flight(PAL or other airline na sasabihin ng embassy) email the embassy with your details at ilang seats ang kailangan mo. Mas mahal nga lang yun repat flight.
