Registration for Visitors to Philippines after 59 days

Special Security Registration for Visitors to Philippines

In October 2014 the Immigration department of the Philippines Government created a new policy with the Alien Registration Project (ARP), and the need for a Special Security Registration Number (SSRN).

This very simple means that almost anyone staying over 59 days needs to register with Photo and Fingerprints and about 700 pesos, at almost any Immigration Office in the country.  A personal appearance is required.  You must be dressed in Trousers and Shoes at most offices.  It is NOT possible for a Travel Agent or Visa assistance agent to do this for you,

If you also need an ACR card, then this will be a further 500 pesos + US$50 or US$20 for an ACR-I card renewal.

It also appears that you must also have a mailing address for the sending of the SSRN certificate.

Those visitors who stay over 59 days will now need both the ACR-I card (Photo only) and the SSRN (Photo and Fingerprints).

One report stated: “Foreign nationals who have valid alien registration cards or I-Cards are exempted from the program.  However, the official site states: “Those valid ACR-I-Cards (Except for Tourist ACR-I cards) are exempted from the program.

 

ARP announcement2

Alien Registration Project  2015

The ARP shall be held from 01 October 2014 until 30 September 2015. Aliens may apply at any authorized BI Regional Office

1. Bring a duly filled-out ARP form (form and additional information is available at www.immigration.gov.ph) and any valid identification (e.g. passport, driver’s license).

Registered aliens under this program may be primary beneficiaries of future social integration/legalization programs of the government.

The Philippines National Transformation Council

The Philippines National Transformation Council

I was just watching CNN Philippines and the program had a discussion of the National Transformation Council, who want the current President to stand down and then what ?

The next Philippines presidential election is scheduled for Monday, May 9, 2016.

The current president, Benigno Simeon Cojuangco Aquino III, has been the President of the Philippines since June 2010.  He has been in Power for almost FIVE years, and has just ONE year left.

Logic says to wait until the next election, and allow the public voters to choose what they want in a Democratic Society.

For a group of Politicians, who appear to be mainly supporters of the previous president, to want the current elected president to stand down, appears undemocratic.

My question is: Who would take over running the country if the current leadership ended before a new election?  Would it be an un-elected leader ?

IF a NEW Political System is needed, then this should be worked on and presented to the public at the next election.

In the past there have been people Power revolutions, but these have been towards people facing corruption charges and worse.  This current president is under no legal investigation, but is obviously unpopular with some people.  Most political leaders in most democratic countries face the same predicament, and face the public at the next election.

It would be interesting to see how the public voted for him next time if this was possible.

Fonte De Versailles, Tulay, Minglanilla, Metro Cebu, Cebu

Fonte De Versailles is a subdivision in Tulay, Minglanilla, Metro Cebu.

The Fonte De Versailles subdivision appears to have been created in about 2012 and is marketed as ‘an upscale Italian-inspired residential beach enclave in Minglanilla town, just 30 minutes from SM City Cebu via the South Road Properties’ by Paramount Property Ventures Inc who developed the subdivision.

Now in early 2015, the front facing houses of Phase 1 have been completed and the smaller houses behind are under construction, with some having been completed and occupied.

This is an advertisers photo of the area:

Fonte De Versailles Beach

The Water front clubhouse, 25-meter infinity pool, Indoor fitness gym and Dual use game court have NOT yet been completed.

The beach area is currently non existent, and no work appears to be in place for this.
