When applying for a parent I usually fill out the form that was recommended above and also attach copies of the birth certificates of my sibling and I who live here.

May softcopies kasi kami ng birth certificates namin ng kapatid ko because we submitter these before nung nag-apply kami sa GSM visas namin, kaya lagi namin inaattach sa visa applications ng mom namin. @cucci mentioned na pwede naman wag isama if you don't have this on hand.

Hi everyone! I am currently working on my Father in law's tourist visa. Alam nyo naman uso sa pinas ang may Senior, added to their name once magkaroon sila ng Jr na anak. Ang question ko is, should I say na may change of name yung father in law ko? Yung passport nya is based on his birth certificate (walang Sr) pero all his official ID's (SSS and Driver License) may SR.
Other names / spellings
Is this applicant currently, or have they ever been known by any other names?
YES
Is this correct? Then explain ko na lang na same name sila ng son nya JR kaya he became senior.
Anyone encountered the same dilemma?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Not traveling pero in my experience, puro oldies ang majority of my co-passengers when I flew from Manila, mga returning residents—all helpful and open in true Pinoy spirit! Hehe. May mga umangkop sakin sa airport (pinasingit ako sa mahabang immigration line lol) at tinulungan ako dun sa customs.
Kung wala lang makasama Mama mo, advice mo na lang sya na makipag-chikahan sa mga ka-boarding gate or sa katabi nya sa flight 😁

Employed ba si Mama mo? If yes, company ID. Hahanapin yan. Ang necessary lang ay passport at visa. Don't offer other requirements unless asked or hanapan.
Also have printouts or digital proofs of return flight, hotel booking (if meron), and itinerary. Just have them ready onhand pero 'wag siya mismo magpresent. If may invitation letter, print that out na rin. Ready ang address ng pagsstay-an.
Have e-travel and vaxcert ready na rin. Kapag hanapan sya ng yearbook, tanungin nya kamo anong relevance nun 😆 And if well-traveled Mama mo, she can always respond "Never naman akong hinanapan ng ganyan in my past travels". 🙂

Hello po question lang po, currently naka 491 visa po ako.
Ang daddy ko 61 years old and senior na then yung mommy ko 58 years old.
Yung daddy is retired draftsman and yung mommy ko is treasurer sa Barangay.
May pagasa kaya silang makapag TV600 dito? at magkano ang need na show money?

Pwede naman as long as they can prove they have an incentive to go home at the end of their trip. Wala naman show money per se for a tourist visa. They should either show that they have a source of income/funds & they have enough money to cover their trip or you can attach a letter to the application saying you will shoulder all of their expenses while they're here.

Hello po again. May tanong po ako. May taga cebu po ba dito? Pag connecting flight ba from cebu to manila then australia doon lang ba sa cebu may interview sa immigration wla na ba sa manila? Hindi na ba kailangan interview doon sa manila immigration kasi connecting flight lang c mama ko. May nka experience na po ba nito? Please help.

Cebu to Manila is considered as Domestic flight despite na connecting flight si Mama mo. The check in staff will ask details pa din like current visa upon check-in pero sa Manila is where IO officers are means more questions, and stamp your passport to go.
Please please help your Mama to recognise her bag, may palatandaan, etc.
May kasabayan ako na 75 years old. Nakalimutan niya yong bag niya anong palatandaan. Kami nalang natira sa carousel. LOL.
There are helpful fellow Filos naman ask her to have a convo, mas madali if marunong si Mama mag tagalog din.. Mas madali makipag commu.
