Overcharging fees to foreigners in Philippines

11 years ago
Anyone interested in geting together a petition with as many expats in Philippines as we can get to sign concerning the outragious fees charged by immigration for visas,ect please contact me at [email protected] and name is Jimmy.I live in Baguio City and retired here to philippines 7 months ago.Am tired of being required to renew my visa every 2 months,paying all the redundant fees that we are charged .I know a lot of you expats out there know what I am talking about!If we can get the petition to the right person hopefully some changes can be made.I am disappointed in the apathy demonstrated towards foreigners and that the Philippines has forgotten that we saved their butts from the Japanese.Seems like Philippines just wants handouts and doesnt wanna give anything in return for compensation such as making immigration requirements less stringent and easier for us to live here.Sure seems like all they care about is our money we contribute to fuel their economy.Email me your comments agreeing or disagreeing.God bless America.We are still the greatest country in the world!I just dont wanna live there anymore.Cant afford to!
