PROCESSING & AMOUNT
by: Anonymous

wonder lang ko kung nagrereply itong DFA bacolod sa mga following comments na na-submit.
ayaw ba magreply ang DFA or wla lang kayong ma reply na tama.
or nahiya ba kyo mag reply dahil wla naman din kakwenta kwenta ang service.
ang tanong DFA na bakit humuhingi kyo ng bayad sa mga kumukuha ng passport ng 1200 pesos & more than that amount, tapos release nyo ng passport ay after 2 or 3 months.
anong klaseng lead time to..?
d ba 1 month lang ung regular processing at 950 pesos ang bayad.?
means,.. for where this 1200 goes to..?
ninanakaw nyo ba..?
nagkamali ba ako sa paratang ko senyo..
then correct me if Im wrong..? & need your explanation..
kung ayaw nyo man aminin bakit hindi accurate ang releasing ng passport nyo.?
dahil ba sira ang machine nyo..?
saan napunta ang tamang bnabayad ng kumukuha ng passport..KINUKURAKOT..?
wla akong pakialam sa sinasabi ko senyo..
dahil wla lang naman senyo yan..
sanay na kyo DFA dahil sobrang KAPAL NG MGA PAGMUMUKHA NYO LAM NYO BA YON..?
what a shame d ba...

PASSPORT PROCESSING
by: Anonymous

Hi,
Can someone from DFA give us an update whether processing of new passport / renewal is back to normal. I submitted my application on 31st May in Bacolod and was promised 45 working days (on rush basis) to receive the passports of my wife (renewal) and 3-month old daughter (new).

My wife and daughter must fly to the UAE by end of July 2011. Failure to do so will result to the cancellation of my wife's Permanent Residence Visa as she is allowed to be out of UAE for maximum 6 months.

Please advise.

Regards.
Mr. Sonlac

??????
by: binag binag

is it the system that sucks or simply the service?

basically, this process requires a centralized and gov't approved procedures in order to get your passport...
a person is obliged or maybe "no choice"but to follow these hell-breaking procedures...
a person is also forced to pay the expensive fee or the choose the most expedite process simply because a person needed the passport urgently...
the result is, you will your passport 2 months or 3 months delayed whether you paid for the speedy process or the slow one..there's no difference...

this is too painful to know that this is the trademark of the Philippine management system...slow and out of nowhere but pocket minded people....

Expedite Processing
by: Anonymous

Hi Sir /Madam,
Further to my previous comments.
Nag process for passport application ang nanay ko nitong araw 31/May. At ang sabi ng DFA Bacolod ay makuha sa 03/August. Passport will be done until 2 months processing..??.. How come na nagpa presyo kyo ng P1200 sa nanay ko at hindi naman pala expedite ang processing na 15 working days.?
Ganyan ba ang systema nyo dyan..?
Hindi nasusunod ang information from your DFA website.?
Hindi na problema ng kumukuha ng passport ang kung ano mang problema nyo & causing delay of passport.
WE'RE PAYING THE AMOUNT OF PASSPORT MORE THAN YOU BEING POSTED IN YOUR DFA WEBSITE, BUT YOUR SERVICE IS SUCKS.
Ayosin nyo naman sana ang procedure nyo.
Wala kayong tamang lead time, basta makatangap lang kyo ng bayad.
Pls lang deliver nyo na ang passport ng nanay ko by 21st of June, 15 days from now. Yan ang tamang date base dun sa info nyo..

Thank you..

Expedite Processing
by: Anonymous

Hi Sir / Madam,
Pinaprocess ko pla ang nanay ko ng passport dyan sa DFA bacolod city. And noted from DFA website the below info.

Regular Processing (ePass) Electronic Passport Passport
Php 950.00 (25 working days)

Expedite Processing
Php 1200.00 (15 working days)

At ang sabi ng nanay ko na ang siningil nyo daw ay P1200, which is expedite passport right.? At banayaran nya iyon.
Pero bakit need makuha ang passport by August 3 pa.?.Di ba 15 working days lang..?
Bakit umabot ng until 2 months ang release nyo.?
Pwede ko ba malaman ang reason bakit ganyan katagal.. Expedite Processing iyon di ba.?

Hoping your prompt reply.

Thank you,

Hello Good Day! Sir/Ma'am, I'me here in Manila currently working and my passport will be released this June already. I'm planning to make an authorization letter and scan it to my family. Do I really need to send my ID's? Is it okay if I will photocopy my ID's and scan it also, for convenient purposes. Im hoping for your positive reply.

Thank you

DELAYED PASSPORT
by: Daylinda C. Barba

Greetings! Just would like to ask when my passport will be delivered? I applied last February 25, 2011 and I chose to have it rushed the processing of which will take 30 regular working days. I have been waiting for it and as of yet, I have not received my passport despite after 41 days from the day of processing. Truly quite a delay, is it not? (10 days?). It is a must that I have my passport on hand within this week without further delay. Please do address this concern at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much! God bless!

i'm supposed to get my passport last week but due to delay in releasing and i'm scheduled to go to manila, i was asked to get it in dfa manila instead. i went to dfa manila yesterday but they said that it's possible that my passport was already shipped to bacolod. they couldn't verify it coz the in-charge for bacolod was absent. i was asked to call dfa bcd to verify it. i've been calling bcd but i can't reach them. i badly need my passport! the delay is already a hassle but being point to one ofc to another is too much...
