May naging issue po kami sa recent paguwi dito sa Pinas. We are US citizen. Na hold po kami at hindi pinayagan ng United Airlines na makaalis sa schedule flight namin dahil one way ticket lang ang aming binili. Their reason is we need to buy a return ticket or need visa. We showed them our birth certificate but still they don't allow us to leave. Umuwi kami at tumawag ako sa Philippine Consulate sa Chicago at nagtanong at sinabi nila we don't need a return date or visa much more if we showed our birth certificate. Nagbalik kami sa airport at kinausap namin ang Manager at Filipino supervisor and they booked us at another affiliate airline and was able to leave at later time. I posted this to inform other balikbayans that those domestic airport employees does not know our country's immigration laws and they just enforced what they have in their system.

[@facedust07]

U should have talked to the supervisor at that moment if u already know that u need the birth certificate to show and not go back and forth

[@dmmixvlogs834]

Thank you atty.
Very informative contents.

[@marissafamilarcournoyer4862]

Very informative indeed, which I had never known about this BALIKBAYAN PRIVILEGE. Except the duty free, which I believes consuming $1500 to to $2k is more than enough to get hooked in materials products to spoiled the family.
May I ask something, which caught my attention about BALIKBAYAN ENTREPRENEURIAL, does this program also allows in the bank? If pangkabuhayan about Constructions business as well as medical care?

So happy to listen to your video about the family who was refuse to travel to the Phil. For more than 30 days. It just happened to us last Dec. 6,2022. And I really need your help or advise what to do, kay I send complaint to Qatar airways office, twice, to no avail. Qatar ground steward was asking for a ‘ documentation of our marriage from the Phil embassy’ never heard of such rules!! But Qatar does’nt accept any explanation or see our complete documents , old Phil. Passport, marriage liscence etc. can you please help us on this. But I believe he is just pressing us to buy a new ticket for 30 days. It was a terrible,stressful experience we had, and for future travelling, I really need written support ? To present to the airlines. I have tried all the official office to complain but to no avail. Please , do the airlines have that power ? We really felt powerless on that day.

[@fribelenesoliven4305]

Thanks for the information that concerns all balikbayans

[@neliaschafer8046]

Salamat po Sir sa information 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@francisavila52]

Hi Atty, is this Balik Bayan Visa applies only to a family visiting the Philippines or applies also to an naturalized Individual visiting the Philippines? Thank you po, Atty.

[@michaelamontemayor448]

All your vlog contents are informative. The embassy should at least post it on their offices. Non of these details are available. Cost nothing to print it. They have only brochures of places to visit.

Thank you po for this video. I am a Filipino citizen residing in South Africa and married to a south African citizen blessed with 2 kids. We are planning to go to the Philippines but so many many conflicting information about the Balikbayan privilege. First question, do we need to buy return ticket for my foreign spouse and kids? What are the documents needed to present at the immigration upon arrival at NAIA? another question regarding vaccinations, is negative PCR test accepted if my family is not COVID VACCINATED? THANK You
