Bureau of Customs: We are not after 'pasalubongs' from OFWs
The Bureau of Customs said all it wants is to stop abuse of the system brought on by the smugglers.
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines) — The Bureau of Customs (BoC) will not increase taxes on balikbayan boxes nor was it after the pasalubongs from overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
"No such statement on tax increase has been made," the BoC said In a statement issued on Sunday (August 23).
The BoC added it does not want to impede existing processes.
The BoC clarified that it was not after OFWs or their pasalubong to their families.
Instead, it was after smugglers who had resorted to using the balikbayan boxes and consolidated shipments to smuggle contraband into the country through fake consignees or through the insertion of smuggled boxes or goods, otherwise known as riders, in consolidated shipments.
The BoC said that stricter compliance would be necessary because the rules on consolidated shipments had been abused.
"Hindi Customs ang nagbabalak abusuhin ang mga OFWs. Ang gusto namin sa Customs ay matigil na ang pang-aabuso sa sistema na dulot ng smugglers," the BoC statement said.
[Translation: "The Bureau of Customs doesn't want to abuse OFWs. All we want is to stop the abuse of the system brought on by the smugglers."]
It said the bureau has paid greatly in revenue losses through these smuggling activities, and more importantly, the affected industries.
"Existing rules on the balikbayan boxes still apply, including inspection as stipulated in the law. However, as mentioned before, the bureau is not technologically equipped to inspect all incoming boxes as efficiently as we want. Alternatively, spot checks has been and will continue to be conducted," it said.
The BoC also encouraged OFWs and their families to inform the agency if they would receive severely tampered balikbayan boxes or missing, so it can help address the problem.
Undesecretary Abigail Valte, deputy presidential spokesperson, meanwhile, said she understood the high emotions of the OFWs and their families regarding the BoC's regulation of opening the balikbayan boxes before being released.
"'Yung mga balikbayan box po na ‘yan ay matagal iniipon. Tuwing sumusuweldo po nagtatabi ng kaunti makabili po ‘nung mga kaunting ipapadala dito sa mga kamag-anak dito sa Pilipinas," she said.
[Translation: "Every time the workers receive their salaries, they save a little just to buy stuff to send to their families in the Philippines. They save up for the balikbayan boxes."]
Valte added that the Palace would send the feedback it had been receiving to BoC Commissioner Alberto Lina so they he could see the effect of the regulation.
She also said that she was guaranteeing that the feedback of the OFWs and their families would be made known to the president.

Less Than A Thousand Philippine Banks Blacklisted for UK Visa Verification
BY UTTOXETER ADVERTISER ON October 31, 2011 CATEGORIZED UNDER UNITED KINGDOM
Nearly 3,000 banks have been put on a Government black-list of financial institutions which cannot be trusted to verify documents supporting student visa applications, officials have said.
Foreign students applying to study in the UK who claim they have funds to support themselves and pay for their course held in any of the banks on the list will receive no points for maintenance, the UK Border Agency (UKBA) said.
The list, which includes 1,977 banks in India, three in Pakistan and 762 in the Philippines, is the latest part of the Government’s efforts to crack down on bogus students.
Study is the most common reason for migrants coming to the UK, with three in four of the 228,000 who came to the UK for study last year coming from outside the EU.

NAIA is world's worst airport...AGAIN.
Posted at 10/18/2011 3:31 PM | Updated as of 10/19/2011 9:51 AM
MANILA, Philippines – The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 has fallen into disrepute and is now ranked the world’s worst airport due to poor facilities, bribery and security concerns, according to an interactive website.
The Guide to Sleeping in Airports (http://www.sleepinginairports.net) said NAIA Terminal 1, which was ranked the 5th worst airport in the world and the worst in Asia last year, is in bad shape compared to the much newer NAIA Terminal 3. It noted that a portion of the ceiling of the NAIA Terminal 1 caved in last May.
“Bribery and theft exists. Airport taxes are collected, but the money does not seem to go towards the betterment of the airport. Document holders have been told their papers are not correct, but a fee of x amount should clear up the matter,” the website noted.
The website said airport officials promised to clean up NAIA-1 toilets and provide running water and soap after a spot of bad press. It said the terminals are lacking services such as left luggage and pay-in lounges for transit passengers.
“Forget about sleeping in this airport! You will not want to even close your eyes here!” the website noted.
However, it said a big plus for the 30-year-old terminal is the free WiFi in the "passenger movement" areas.
Based on poll votes, user reviews
The website said it ranks the world's least favorite airports based on poll votes and user reviews for reasons such as safety concerns, lack of comfortable seating, rude staff, hostile security, poor facilities, few services to pass the time, bribery and being kicked out or other hassles of being in the airport.
The NAIA Terminal 1 was completed in 1981 and had a size of 67,000 square meters with a design capacity of 4.5 million passengers per year. It was originally named the Manila International Airport and then renamed after the late Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino Jr. in 1987.
The terminal has been a frequent target of criticism with travelers who say it is congested and filthy.
The NAIA-1 was ranked lower than some airports such as the Paris Beauvais, Reykjavik Keflavik, Frankfurt Hahn, London Lutton and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
Not-so-pleasant experiences
Several reviews on the website gave their not-so-pleasant experiences in the Philippines’ first international airport.
User Monette said she lost her cellphone between the drop-off at the entrance and the security check after someone slashed the side pocket of her handbag with a sharp knife.
“I mentioned it to the PNP officer and he referred me to an airport policeman. This guy had the guts to suggest that I go to the lost and found office and check if they found it. Long story short, he didn't even get my name and address to file a report and was just saying: ma'am there are many thieves in this airport. Just look after your belongings!" the review said.
Another reviewer, livingabroad, commented that he had seen airport workers trying to pocket trinkets and phones from bags while not allowing passengers near their belongings.
The same reviewer also noted that a concession stand at the gates was selling bottles of water that had already been opened and reused with broken seals “and they pretended to break the seal on the bottles when selling.”
User shizumasa said he had travelled to many airports and stayed overnight in some of them, “but nothing compares to the experience at NAIA. In short, it’s a horrible waste of time and you should all hold on to your wallets as tightly as possible.”
“I especially advise any foreign travellers to avoid this airport, the amount of corruption and bribery is just mind blowing.”
