PhilippinesPhilippine or US passport?
Hi you need to get an exit permit for your daughter at BI if she has US Passport only...if she has US and Philippine passport..just go to BI and show them your daughter's 2 passports and tell them she is exiting PI with 2 passports and they will tell u your daughter dont need exit permit anymore.

My daughter went to CRBA process din...so she got her citizenship and she used her US passport when we left PI.Ang mali ko di ko sya nakuhanan Philippine passport..kaya no choice nagbayad ako ng exit permit nya...but sabi nila magdala na lng ako NSO BC pra dito ko na lng sya kuhanan Phil.passport sa Philippine Consulate dito.

Happy trip sa inyong mag-ina!!!!!

do we have to apply for CRBA for our son?.Please tell me about CRBA.His father become a US citizen after our son's birth...


Hi there cath,you cant apply for your son's CRBA kasi naging US citizen lng yung daddy nya after ipinanganak son nyo.

One of the important requirement kc to transmit US Citizenship to the child is dapat US Citizen ang father bago ipinanganak ang bata and may domicile sa US ng 5 years after your husband's 14th b-day and 2 years before the applicant's birth which is your son...let say na may domicile sya but naging US Citizen lng sya after the birth of your son.Nka-include ba son mo sa petition mo?Kung nka-include ok na yan pra sabay kayo alis and madali na lng sya magiging US Citizen d2.

Mahigpit ang US Embassy when it comes to transmitting US Citizenship sa child..mrami cla hinahanap kaya dapat provide tlga yun.My daughter went to CRBA process and everything went fine nman.

Good lucks.

i just want to know. how long it will take and how much?
pls any response will be appreciated..


I think so but hubby said better if you undergo on the school in ur area or in community college.I was thinking about that too.I am trying to find it out also how long it will take and how much.Anyway,have u been searching about CNA?I looked for that and it takes 3months only to complete the program and then you can start applying for a job in a hospital.Rates starts at $12 to $15 an hour if you have experience or voluntary job experience related to the course.

I'm trying to do the voluntary first to make resume looks good especially pag wala ka pa experience.I just got the application form for voluntary today from the hospital here in our place.At first,I emailed them and they told me to email them my address so they can send my the application form and send it back to them.

My finance got her K-1 Visa and is going to the CFO on Monday. Is there anything that I should know that may be tricky...like trick questions or requirements. For example. I hear they ask for a landline number in the Philippines. None of her family has one (just cells) she has a friend taht has a landline. Can she put that down?

Any advice on what to bring or any tough questions that a fiance may not know (like my parents. phone number)?

Do they allow cell phones inside?

Many thanks



When I went to CFO, they asked my mom-in-law's maiden name. Be sure that she knows hers. In regards with the phone numbers, she can put her friend's or relative's numbers.

But if you want to make sure she will not encounter problems or the staff won't give her hard time..just give her your credit card photocopy.

I am going to buy my Fiance (coming with K-1) an airline ticket. I was thinking about Northwest. Does it have any requirements from her since I am buying the ticket? Any airline recommendations since I am buying the ticket?

Also, what kind of ####### will she have to put up with immigration? The custom officers gave me a hard time on my last trip. Is there any reason they could turn her away? I just want her to be prepared. Any tricky questions they might ask?

Many Thanks


Just her full name and passport number on buying ticket.Check Continental Airlines if you like.Their service is good.

On immigration at NAIA..she will pay Php 750 for terminal fee and Php 1,620 for travel tax if its not included in the ticket yet.She will fill up a small form after she pay her terminal fee then fall inline on where you will take off your shoes,bags for checking to go on the gate of the plane.

Then on her POE the officer there will just get her visa packet envelope,passport bcoz they will stamp her I-94 there,take her fingerprints and pic and remind her to get married within 90days.

My customs checking were in Hawaii..they just asked me there whats was in my baggage..i just told them my personal things and thats it.

pls advice, thanks


Yes you can bring.I brought some too...balutin mo lng mabuti..yung vitamins,lactacyd,shampoo,lotion etc.,lagyan mo tape dun sa pinaka takip pra di mabuksan...tpos doblehin mo ng plastic,tpos ipagitna mo sya sa mga damit na dadalhin mo,balutin mo sya ng damit/tela na black.Dala ka din manicure and pedicure set mo kc mahal magpa-pedicure/manicure d2 tsaka tabo pra kay baby mo.Lahat yan sa check-in luggage mo lagay ha wag sa hand-carry.

Happy trip sa inyong mag-ina..lapit na May 14.

God Bless!

PhilippinesRetiring in the Philippines
Many foreigners specially Americans are retiring in Manila, Angeles,Clark Pampanga where there's Airforce Base,in Olongapo,Subic Bay where there's US Naval base,Puerto Galera,Mindoro,Palawan,Cebu,Boracay.

I am from Olongapo City and there are a lots of foreigners who are living and retiring there.You can buy a house and lot there for 1 to 1.5 million pesos with 2 to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms or buy a house and lot near the beaches there.

Me and my husband plan to retire also in the PI..it's nice to live there and of course at the same time we will still visit US because it's his homeland and our daughter too.

Thank you for the tips! They help a lot.

We changed the flight, so now there is a four hour layover. It was stressful to only have a short time because anything can happen.

If just in case na ma-delay flight mo,ask mo yung staff if there's available flight for you going to ur next destination..they will give it to u free,pra ma-catch mo yung next connecting flight mo.But since you say u changed your flight,I suggest bring books or magazine or something to read and to listen like iPod or mp3 player kc nakakaboring sa airport maghintay..

Happy trip.
