Itinakda ni Principal Magistrate Don So sa Oct. 31 ang susunod na pagdinig laban kay Arnulfo dela Rosa, 46 taong gulang at walang trabaho, nang hilingin ng taga-usig ng dagdag na panahon upang mabuo ang kaso laban sa kanya.

Seniors, OFWs may renew Phl passports online under Senate bill

 

Migrant workers will no longer apply personally for passport renewal under the Senate bill (File)

A proposed law that allows senior citizens and migrant workers to renew their passports virtually, or without making a personal appearance at a consular office or post abroad, was approved on second reading at the Philippine Senate on Tuesday, Sept. 18.

Senate Bill 2001 or the New Philippine Passport Act, which is one of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr’s priority measures, will now go on a third and final reading in the Senate.

Once approved, it will go through a Conference Committee made up of members from each House of Congress for reconciling the provisions of the bill, before it is passed on the President, who may approve or veto it.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE!

The House of Representatives passed its own version of the bill in December last year, in which a key provision is to give senior citizens and PWDs a 50% discount on their passport fees.

In the Senate version whose principal author is Senator Imee Marcos, Filipinos who lost their passports may request for emergency passports that are valid for a year. 

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

If lost abroad, the passport holder may ask for an emergency travel document so he or she can return to the Philippines.

The measure also seeks to set up a watchlist for Filipinos who have been denied passports, or had their passports canceled.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

SBN 2001 which repeals Republic Act No 8239, or the Philippine Passport Act of 1996, also aims to develop a new generation of passports that conform to international standards.

"With advancements in technology, there is a need to bring forth a new generation of passports," said Senator Marcos, chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Under the Senate bill, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs is also given power to waive the requirement of personal appearance of first-time passport applicants if technology would allow it.

Earlier, the lower house approved with an overwhelming 252 votes House Bill 6510 which also seeks to repeal RA 9239.

HB 6510 mandates the issuance of passports using the latest tamper-proof and data management technologies, and calls for simplifying the documentation requirements for the passport as prescribed by the Department of Foreign Affairs.

PINDUTIN PARA SA DETALYE

Like the Senate version, HB 6510 directs the DFA to implement a system that would allow senior citizens to renew their passports electronically, or without the need for personal appearance. However, unlike its Senate counterpart, the House bill does not extend the privilege to migrant workers.

HB 6510 provides that senior citizens and PWDs should be entitled to a 50% discount on the fees for the processing, issuance or replacement of a passport.

The measure also mandates that three passport databases should be maintained: (1) one containing all current and previous passport and travel documents of Filipinos an alien residents; (2) a watchlist database of persons whose passport applications have been denied or revoked; and (3) one containing the names and information of persons who committed passport-related offences.

The third should cause concern to many overseas Filipino workers, including those in Hong Kong, as using one’s passport as collateral for loans or having multiple passports are among the passport-related offences listed by the DFA.

The House bill added to this list the illegal withholding of someone else’s passport (as what some employment agency staff sometimes do), and the forging of visas and entry documents.

HB 6510 also provides stiffer penalties for offenses relating to the forgery and improper use of passports and travel documents, and the possession of multiple passports.

If the crime is committed by a syndicate or in large scale, the prescribed maximum sentence is six years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to P2 million.
