new passport by September with more security features. This is now
called the Machine Readable Passport of MRP, it uses heat sealed machines

system, which is not so protected against the forgeries. While the
new lamination process, when lifted from the data page, it will easily

Check Licensed recruitment agency in Philippines for overseas employment.
Be warned that although they're licensed, it doesn't mean they're
truthful. They'll fullfill POEAs requirements but some of them may
cheat applicant by collecting overcharging processing fee and will
just issue receipt lower than what your've paid. First time applicant's

POEA website...and other Overseas Work related sites.
Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) Absentee
Voting (http://www.comelec.gov.ph/announce/rrira9189_toc.html)
Just information about the OFWs Rights to Vote Overseas. Most Filipino
say's that the ratio of WISE and NOT WISE voters is 10:90, that's
why, wrong leaders are always elected...I wish there's an organization
who will educate the unwise voters and teach them on how to vote wisely,
how to choose and what to consider from the candidate...I think this
topic should always be included at school from Elementary to College...because
"Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan"...
