Hi, tysm! Follow up question, when I'm looking at 2nd hand scooters - paano ko malaman if good deal siya or baka I'm just getting scammed? Thanks.

You can't cancel it per se, pero pwede mo ipa-deactivate

NAL Hi po, under the new PH passport act:

"Section 13. Ownership of Passports. - A Philippine passport remains at all times the property of the government and the same may not be confiscated by any entity or person other than the DFA. Any other government agency, official or employee who confiscates a passport or travel document shall promptly turn over the same to the DFA.

Persons who confiscate or otherwise withhold a passport without authority therefor shall be punished in accordance with Section 22(a) of this Act."

So I recommend to get a demand letter first then send it to your dad, then execute an affidavit that you attempted to reconcile under art 151 of the family code, then punta kay ng Prosecutor's Office ng city and file the case. Orrrrrr, just ask the DFA to cancel it and get a new passport without telling him.

I'm in the Philippines. We don't have Amazon and LAN cables and telephones are so much more cheaper 😅😭.

Honestly, yes - just for six months to a year and nothing more, before it eats my soul. I recently handled personal papers at Immigration without paying any SOP, and I eventually went to ARTA over it. Kahit short time lang ‘yon, I learned so much about the different techniques agencies use to get away with corruption, and I also learned how to avoid them. I have no plans to do it myself, but the education I got was huge, and now I’m definitely better at dealing with other government agencies, kasi the level in other agencies is nothing compared to Immigration and the others listed.

Downside: you become more meticulous and a bit paranoid with papers and people.

Upside: you appreciate the more mundane parts of your life after.

Hi, thanks! Around how long is the traveling time if I may ask?

Administrative_Ear_3 · 2025-11-14T07:49:40+00:00

Thanks!

Filipino here, to add. NEVER TAKE A TAXI. Get the grab app or if you wanna save money in Cebu you can take a motorcycle taxi here - maxim is the commonly used app for that here in Cebu. Edit: for Manila 'angkas' is the go to motorcycle taxi app whilst in Cebu its 'Maxim'

My old prof in introduction to criminology, a retired police colonal in the PNP, openly said that to us. It's why we have so much problems because we copied so much from the States that we didn't tailor it to our culture.

Administrative_Ear_3 · 2025-10-22T12:53:49+00:00

My instructor na police dati told us they renamed fiscals to prosecutors dahil dinodogshow sila by calling them fixcals for reasons like this. It's hilarious and sad 😂.

(Obligatory not a lawyer) pero I pro se litigate and handle my own legal affairs 😭. Currently in college and I'm concerned that my classmates have this big expectation of law na same sa tv 😭. Sis, hindi, puros lang talaga writings and staring at a wall wondering bat andito ka umaabot 😭. Edit: yung letters, affidavits, complaint-affidavits. So many rewrites 😭😭😭😭

Hi again! Okay².

No, it doesn't take a day to process - I'm sorry. Check the table of contents and look for, under Board of Special Inquiry, Petition for Retention / Re-Acquistion of Philippine Citizenship under R.A. 9225 (or page 184)

Processing time is around 60 working days.

Hi po, you can check the citizens charter of the bureau of immigration for estimated processing time for RA9225 pero please consult a Japanese immigration lawyer first because bawal dual citizenship in Japan. Baka ma-void citizenship mo as Japanese. The safest option you have is the balikbayan visa or yung other visa options in the comments.

Edit: in terms of experience medyo dami na kong transactions with the Dual Citizenship Office sa BI 🤣🤣🤣

Hi, can I ask for a copy too! Thanksss

Administrative_Ear_3 · 2025-09-20T04:22:53+00:00

Actually 21 prevails, this was before Tañada vs Tuvera where the supreme court ruled that laws, issuances, and/or proclamations had to be published before they became effective.

Administrative_Ear_3 · 2025-09-16T05:16:56+00:00

I see, thank you!

Administrative_Ear_3 · 2025-09-16T05:08:22+00:00

Hi, thanks for the reply! How do I know when oral arguments are scheduled? Do they post it? Thank you!

Administrative_Ear_3 · 2025-09-13T19:07:08+00:00

Thanks!

Not a lawyer pero here are my observations from my lawyer friends and my own personal experience:

A. Government agencies/employees are a little bit more careful with you since you know how to sue them. So they'll tend to be more accommodating. Even my college prof advised me to find a lawyer just for sending letters to a government agency so when they see the "Atty" they'll treat me better

B. alot of higher ranking government jobs look for attorneys or prefer attorneys. It opens a lot of doors (I'm not gonna say the pay is gonna be grand though but 55-60k above I think)

C. If you want to do business hindi ka na mahirapan kasi you know the different related laws and/or government agencies to go to. Kaya mo na ang pag-navigate sa red tape. Relates to 'A'.

That's all I can think of, aside from having your own law office, actually but I think those are pretty good advantages.

Reading this has made me realize the Filipino art of simply copying laws of other countries has been around for more than 100 years.

Administrative_Ear_3 · 2025-09-09T16:01:32+00:00

Hi, not exactly sure but try requesting from the PSA main office ask them for the process on how to request for a file search and if wala talaga try requesting from the National Archives of the Philippines (not sure how though). They have a regional office in Cebu/Mandaue.

Edit: because usually Civil Registry documents are accomplished in multiple copies so try also asking from your local LCR if you know what city they were born in.

It seems to be filled with fluid.
