While our government morale crumbles, our problems remain unsolved. 

We want to end the Philippine government culture of corruptions, by choosing officials who can act ethically and promote ethical and moral restoration, lead the country in a new direction, protect our rights and serve our country's interests and not their own special benefits, and to restore government offices as a public trust.

PH passport renewal cost in Rome reduced

SUCCUMBING to pressure from migrant groups in Italy like the Task Force OFW and news articles, including a banner story in the People’s Journal, the Philippine Embassy in Rome has lowered the cost of Philippine passport renewal there.

Recruitment and migration expert Emmanuel Geslani said that from 60 Euros that the embassy was previously charging Filipino migrant workers renewing their passports in Italy, it inexplicably lowered the cost to 54 Euros last Oct. 1.

“This development came after Malacañang learned of this anomaly from the media reports,” he said.

Though members of the Filipino Alliance in Italy was caught by surprise by the sudden lowering of cost, they welcomed the new development.

“Ngayong araw ibinaba ng embassy ang singil sa renewal ng passport mula 60 Euro to 54 Euro. Nakapagtataka bigla na lamang ibinaba ng walang communication. Bakit kaya? But we welcome this development,” said Bro Juann Felix, chairperson of the Task Force OFW.

Felix said that though 54 Euros is still a bit overpriced for the OFWs in Rome, it is a good development for their campaign to straighten several issues with the Philippine Embassy.

Last week, Felix and his group sought the help of Pres. Benigno Aquino III in resolving the problems they are having with the embassy such as the issues on the discarding of their Middle Names, PhilHealth, embassy certifications, and other problems.
