I believe that Php 1,800 is a fair cost compared to the amount that we will be able to save if this gadget will work properly. The good thing with this new gadget is OFW can be able to call their love ones at anytime with a lower rate.

One of the great feature of this gadget is you can receive voice calls and Text Message for free. Although the message will  be their for about 9 hours and after that if your machine is off, you will not be able to retrieve it.

I just hope that it will be a great service. And I will surely get one for my use. You can see more details of their service in their FAQ site here.

Update : Please see updated information on renewing E-Passport in Riyadh Saudi Arabia

I saw it in the news [ Tv Patrol ] that Philippines is now going to release the epassport which can be used in having any travel visa in any part of the world.

The news said :

Beginning December, the Department of Foreign Affairs Consular Affairs will issue epassport to comply with the standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization.

The epassport was launched during the 110th Founding Anniversary of the department.

Consular Affairs Assistant Secretary Domingo Lucenario said a French company, Francois Charles Oberthur, won the bidding for the epassport conducted by the Bangko Sentral. Fourteen companies  participated in the bidding.

He said Francois is the same company responsible for the epassport in Belgium, the first country in the world to comply with the ICAO standard.

The epassport has a chip where the security features and personal data of the holder are stored making it difficult for syndicates to commit passport fraud.

As what I have seen in the news the passport will contain electronic information of the passport holder. We don’t have to bring pictures during renewal since DFA will use camera in order to save it in their database and to be embedded in the chips.

So Filipinos will be able to proved that their passport are also high tech

This passport will be used for Travel Visa and Visa Application to any part of the World. They said that thru this method it will now be hard for crooks to use somebody passport.

I just hope that it will not increase payments of Passport or it will be an extra burden for OFW workers.

So after 3 years I will have to renew my passport and get mine Mabuhay Philippines.

New On-Line Application Process for the Issuance of the POEA Travel Exit Clearance for Balik-Manggagawa/Workers-On-Leave (BM/WOL)

By: Philippine Embassy

The POEA, in its letter dated 13 June 2008, has informed of the new-on-line application process for the issuance of the POEA travel exit clearance for Balik-Manggagawa/workers-on-leave (BM/WOL).

Previously, OFWs would have to proceed to the POEA office and Philippine Overseas Labor Offices to apply for their exit clearance. With this online application system, the OFW can avail of the 2-way delivery system through the internet and have the clearance delivered back to their residence. There will be no need to go to the POEA. Since the application is online, this can be done virtually anywhere where there is an internet connection. This gives OFWs more time to spend with family and friends while vacationing in the Philippines .

To apply, the BM/WOL simply logs onto www.oecdelivery.com.ph and follow the instructions as detailed in the website. The service is available nationwide.

Should the BM/WOL decide not to avail of the 2-way Delivery System, they have the option to print out the OFW Info Sheet after applying on line and proceed to the POEA to file their application.

The BM/WOL may also secure their POEA travel exit clearance at the following:

a. Balik-Manggagawa Processing Division (BMPD), Service Area, POEA, Blas F. Ople Bldg., Ortigas corner EDSA, Mandaluyong City
b. POEA Regional Centers/Regional Extension Units ( REUs ) and Satellite Offices
c. POEA-deputized OWWA Regional Offices and Units
d. Philippine Overseas Labor Offices (POLO) in various Philippine Embassies and Consulates abroad
e. Exit Clearance One-Way Delivery System (Dropbox) POEA Service Area
f. POEA, REU-La Union, Cagayan de Oro, Tacloban, Davao, POLO-Jeddah and Singapore, for the issuance of the Multiple Travel Exit Clearance (MTEC). The MTEC is a set of two or more clearances issued to workers-on-leave/balik-manggagawa (BM/WOL) for use as an exit document within a period of twelve months from date of issuance. It allows the WOL/BM who exits from the Philippines more than once in a period of 12 months to secure his exit clearance on a one-time basis.

For more information, the OFWs may also visit POEA website at www.poea.gov.ph.
The new system is part of POEA’s continuous effort to provide quality service to OFWs.

On my next vacation to Philippine I might as well try this facility.

Who is Malu Fernandez ?

She is a journalist who believes in her freedom of speech and believes that she can say anything in Public. She is a famous Buzz maker in Philippine Blogosphere. At First she made a very bad comment regarding Filipino OFW that made her popular in the net. Well actually I don’t know her, not until she make those statement last year.

So what is the Buzz ?

And now Malu Fernandez did it again by commenting about bloggers. According to her comments : ( via Connie )

The difference between a journalist and a blogger is that journalists have to adhere to certain guidelines that govern the freedom of speech. And whatever a journalist chooses to write about—be it popular or unpopular—we do not hide behind an anonymous name and are resigned to the fact that we have to take as much as we dish out.

I really agree that Journalist and bloggers are different. Because bloggers are practicing the freedom of speech. As Bloggers we don’t have Supervisors or editors to edit our write ups. Blogging is an expression of oneself. I as a blogger do not hide my identity you can always check my identity thru my about page for that matter.

But blogging, aside from Perez Hilton and the other big time bloggers (you know who you are) is for me a slacker job or a medium and pastime for lonely people to connect.

Well first of all not all blogger thinks blog as a source of income. Some blog their experience and knowledge just because they want to share their opinion in public. And some blog for fame. And Malu Fernandez is right that some blogs for monetization. Well for me I do both. I am monetizing thru different advertisers. I have to pay for hosting fee and other fee like my domain name and others blog expenses, not to mention my photography hobby.

My Opinion & Observation

I am just thinking if Malu Fernandez doesn’t have any job at Manila Standard. Will she be a blogger? I think so , because she knows how to be popular and make the blogosphere heat up . I may say that she has a good technique and a traits of a Master Link Baiter. I agree with Abe she should be nominated as Master Link Baiter of 2008.
