Flight chronicles of the backpacker Tutubi, with travelogues, pictures/photos/videos, travel guides, independent and honest reviews, affordable, recommended resorts and hotels (including inns, guesthouses, pension houses, lodges, hostels, condotels, bed and breakfast and other cheap accommodations), commuting guides, routes (sometimes street maps and GPS coordinates/waypoints) and driving directions to answer "how to get there" questions, information and tips on tourism, budget travel and living in Philippines, Exotic Asia and beyond!
Backpacking, independent travel, and flashpacking are cheaper than the "cheapest package tours" and promotional offers around but you can also use travel information for family vacations, even romantic honeymoon destinations.
More than the usual tourist spots and "places to see," this blog advocates heritage conservation, environmental protection, and history awareness for Filipinos, foreigners, and ex-pats wishing to explore Paradise Philippines and Exotic Asia!
POEA Overseas Employment Clearance (OEC)/Exit Clearance at SM, Robinsons
The Overseas Employment Clearance (OEC) “is the document that will prove that they are documented Filipino workers that will entitle them to exemptions from travel tax and airport fees. [It] will also prove their ongoing membership with OWWA [Overseas Workers Welfare Administration], PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG.”
It's also the evil document that's preventing Filipinos from travelling (like Tutubi who was delayed and questioned at NAIA by harassed by Immigration officer in NAIA who thought he's an OFW)
OFWs spending holidays in the Philippines can now apply for exit clearances at these locations. Here's How to get OEC during the Christmas season during your holiday:
SM Manila
Robinson’s Pioneer along EDSA, Mandaluyong
Trinoma, Quezon City
Duty Free-Paranaque
SM Pampanga, San Fernando, Pampanga
On December 23, and 26; January 2, 3, and 6, 2014 OEC processing centers will serve applicants as early as 6 a.m.
On January 4, a Saturday, Cacdac said they will also be open for transactions from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.
POEA regional offices in Cebu; Davao; Tuguegarao; San Fernando, La Union; San Fernando, Pampanga; Clark; Calamba, Laguna; Naga City; Legaspi; Tacloban, Cagayan de Oro, Butuan, and Zamboanga.
Lastly, OFWs can also secure their exit clearance at the Philippine Overseas Labor Office even before they fly to the Philippines.
