Passport Collateral Advisory!

TO ALL FILIPINOS IN SOUTH KOREA:

Please refer below and help disseminate to others...

PAUNAWA

Nakarating sa kaalaman ng Embahada na may mga kababayan tayo sa Korea na nagsasanla ng kanilang pasaporte sa ibang tao o groupo para makautang. Ito po ay mahigpit na ipinagbabawal sa ilalim ng batas ng Pilipinas sa dahilan na ang pasaporte ay pag-aari ng Pamahalaan ng Pilipinas. Ipinaala sa lahat na mapipilitan ang Embahada na ipaalam sa Department of Foreign Affairs sa Manila ang mga pangalan ng mga kababayan natin para maimbestigahan. Ang parusa sa paglabag sa batas ng hustong gamit ng pasaporte ay �cancellation of passport by the Secretary of Foreign Affairs�.

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.

Thank you.

salamat po sa impormasyon. sa hirap po ng buhay kaya po siguro may nagsasanla na ng pasaporte nila pero sana lang po wag nila gawin yun dahil ang pasaporte ay napaka importanteng dokumento. mahirap na po isanla ang pasaporte lalo pa't wala sila sa homeland nila.

ingat po.
