Paunawa Tungkol sa Pasaporte


Nakarating sa kaalaman ng Embahada na may mga kababayan tayo sa Korea na nagsasanla ng kanilang pasaporte sa ibang tao o grupo para makautang . Ito po ay mahigpit na ipinagbabawal sa ilalim ng batas ng Pilipinas sa kadahilanang ang pasaporte ay pag-aari ng Pamahalaan ng Pilipinas. Ipinapaalala sa lahat na mapipilitan ang Embahada na ipaalam sa Kagawaran ng Ugnayang Panlabas sa Maynila ang mga pangalan ng nagsasanla para maimbestigahan. Maaaring kanselahin ng Kalihim ng Ugnayang Panlabas ang pasaporte ng mga lumalabag sa batas ng wastong paggamit ng pasaporte.

ADVISORY

It has come to the Embassy’s attention that some Filipino workers in Korea have used their passports as collaterals for personal loans filed with informal lending institutions in Korea. This practice is strictly prohibited under Philippine laws in view of the fact that a Philippine Passport is a property of the government. The Embassy maybe constrained to report the matter to the Department of Foreign Affairs. A violation of the Passport Law may result to the cancellation of the passport by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
