Here we go when I woke-up this morning it bumped to my head the word TNT, so I hook-up to this new Topic.
One time way back probably 2yrs ago in Jeddah KSA Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, my Husband and I got invited to a Filipina friend of ours Married to a handsome British guy, dinner to her House, knowing that there well be maybe an Ambassador from Philippine Consulate visiting to her house too.
As the time goes by the conversation goes about plenty of TNT's under the bridged right now, and the Ambassador can't come because of the problem. So I said speaking of TNT what is the meaning? I know what it is, but TNT stands for? And she rit is "TAGO NANG TAGO", wow makes sense, and everybody's laughing.:)
Anyway here's the root of this topic! Have you ever thought that once your Country Man committed this "TNT" stuffs you won't get hurt or affected.? I'm not saying its bad but yes really it is bad, ohhhh boy yes it is pretty bad for my Perception, because I been the situation that I supposed to go to Kuwait 3yrs ago when my Husband got a chance to visit Kuwait as part of his Job, which during those time I am very energized, excited in view of the fact that I get a chance to see my Father whose currently those years working in Kuwait, after not seeing my Dad for long time, not getting the chance to witness my Wedding Vows as his 1st Child yes I do got the Itch to see him as possible as I can.
My husband and I submitted all the requirements to stay 5days in Kuwait, while my Husband working the day time I can be capable to mingled my Father then.
But all of those itch, plots and Imagination totally vanished as I did not get the Dam Visa stamp to my Philippine Passport. I remember it was the very awful, saddest, painful, and hurtful of my life during those times for me. Ohhh well I leave to it, there's no such things can change during those scenario, this is what they call "It is what it is".
Again to go deep in this issue, few days ago I wrote the status of my Face book
"Honest Folks pay the Price of the dishonest Folks" why?
Yes because we do get hurt, and I do hurt, pay the price every time I visit the certain Country I need to apply the visa in advanced, and when I get to the Emigration Officer they look stare hard my passport, checking it hard if its really original while next window are already passing by me which for me grrr I feel embarrass even there's no reason because my documents are legal and original. Here's the word again ohhh well Dam TNT it is what it is.
I do understand my limitation and rules; I do follow the Government because I'm scared to death to get in Prison or detention in the Emigration for few hours or more.
Once you applied for a tourist visa in a certain country then do follow it, follow and admit that you only have limited days to stay so instead of counting your days lift why not just having fun, enjoy the remaining days, and If you wanted to stay more, make it in a legal way go to the Emigration of the Country then apply for additional extension days….But wait you'll going to say I have to pay more it's another expense! So what the heal your in those country? You're in the vacation because you save your budget, then go back home work hard your ass so you can save more for your vacation again. Don’t be over stayed, and walking to the street with your mind and heart, your eyes sneaking, and you body avoiding the Police officer every time you see them in the Street, hey Kabayan clear your conscience act according to a legal way, and then when you get caught your screaming for help from Philippine Embassy, and if things don't get right your blaming the Embassy Government that their not working helping you out through! Common be matured enough it's all your stupidity ok.
You are correct that people should respect and follow the immigration laws of other countries as when they do not, it makes it difficult for the law abiding citizens of the country to travel. Your case about Filipinos is well taken with plenty of documenting evidence to support the argument.
ReplyDeleteBut because legal immigration is often very expensive and difficult, the economically disadvantaged - like the majority of Filipinos - are at a serious disadvantage when it comes to looking for a better way of life in another country. Legal immigration is expensive! If we look at divorce, or what Catholic Filipinos like to call "Annulment" of a marriage, it is only available to the rich & famous. The average Filipino is financally shut out from legally severing themselves from a spouse, so they often "pretend" that they are no longer married. This pretend-divorce often leads to serious issues coming up later in a persons life if they want to marry, immigrate, in many jobs and so on. It is a TNT from marriage! Maybe many immigration laws and divorce laws need to be ammended so the economically disadvantaged have the same opportunities as the rich & famous.
What is wrong with TNT???? The US has no right to keep Pilipino from go to US> We should not let US come to Phil easy as they just abuse us and bribe to stay in our land. The US soldiers just rape our girls and not go to jail. TNT is not as serious as raper. What you say now?? You are a rich woman and do understand the hardship of common Pilipino!!!!!
