Email address mo isingit sa passport


SAPOL - Jarius Bondoc (Pilipino Star Ngayon) - March 20, 2018 - 12:00am


KINUWENTO ito sa akin ng kaibigan. Leksiyon ito kung bakit mainam isingit ang email mo sa address page ng passport. Mahalagang payo sa OFWs at mga biyahero, kaya isina-Tagalog ko. Totoong nangyari ito sa airport kamakailan; ikinuwento ng kawani sa money exchange shop:
“Nagpapalit ng pera ang pasahero, at sa pagmamadali, naiwan niya ang passport at boarding pass sa counter ko. Dahil sa sulok naiwan at natatakpan ng computer monitor ko, hindi ko ito napansin; mga 20 minutos ang nakalipas; ang sumunod na customer ang nakakita. Agad hinanap ko ang pasahero sa paligid na shops, pero hindi ko nakita.
“Medyo laspag ang passport, maraming visas, kabilang ang Japan. Bumiyahe siya mula Narita, at lumapag dito sa LAX (Los Angeles International Airport). Ang pahina sa passport kung saan sinusulat ang tirahan at contact person sa emergency ay blanko. Ang naroon lang ay email address niya. Agad kumonekta ako online at in-email siya ng maikling mensahe, kasama ang phone number ko.
“Makalipas kalahating oras sumungaw siya sa counter, abut-abot ang pasasalamat. Wala raw siyang kamalay-malay na nawawala na ang passport niya. Nasa taxi na siya at nag-che-check ng emails nang mabasa ang padala ko. Agad niyang pinabalik ang taxi sa airport para kaunin ang passport. Nagtatrabaho siya sa Japan, at nakakabit ang work permit sa Japanese visa. Naroon lang siya sa US nang isang linggo.

“Malinaw na miski nakasulat ang kanyang tirahan sa passport, hindi ito gaano makakatulong. Miski telepono walang silbi kung atubili ang nakapulot nito tumawag pa ng magastos na long distance sa ibang bansa. Pero ang email kahit sino madaling maise-send at ma-receive, mula saan na may wifi, ano mang parte ng mundo -- lalo na kung nasa biyahe ka. Kaya isingit ang email sa address page ng passport. Life saver!

Russia captures town after 2 years of Ukrainian resistance --- Reuters

Russian forces now control 98.5% of Luhansk, 60% of Donetsk MOSCOW: Russian troops on Wednesday took charge of the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar, a bastion that had resisted intense attacks since Russia launched its full-scale assault in 2022. The advance of Moscow's forces, which control just under a fifth of Ukraine, has underlined Russia's vast superiority in men and materiel as Ukraine pleads for more weapons from the Western allies that have been supporting it. Ukraine's eastern military command said it had ordered a pullback from the hilltop coal mining town to avoid encirclement by Russian troops and "preserve personnel and military equipment". The Russian defense ministry did not mention Vuhledar in its daily battlefield report. Russian Telegram channels, however, published video of troops waving the Russian tricolor flag over shattered buildings. The town, which had a population of over 14,000 before the war, has been devastated, with Soviet-era

UP Diliman Professors Share Scientists’ Procurement Struggles at Senate Hearing

By Harvey Sapigao Senate hearing of the revised procurement law (Photo credit: Senate of the Philippines) College of Science (CS) Dean Giovanni Tapang held up a little white device as he finished his presentation. “This is a ₱150,000 component,” he described. “Isa lang gumagawa nito sa buong mundo, pero ang hirap pilitin sila na magregister sa PhilGEPS,” he continued, referring to the requirement that foreign companies must first register to the Philippine Government Electronic Procurement System (PhilGEPS) before they can sell products to local scientists. Marine Science Institute (MSI) Deputy Director Dr. Irene Rodriguez explained that the small device is a resin that filters metals in water. “May budget tayo,” she said, “pero ang problema ko ay ‘yung resin na ito.” This and other bottlenecks brought about by the procurement law, or the Government Procurement Reform Act (RA 9184), slow down research and development in the country. UPD leaders were invited to the Senate he

Vietnam condemns China's 'brutal behavior' in fisher attack ---- Agence France-Presse

HANOI, Vietnam — Vietnam's foreign ministry condemned on Wednesday China's "brutal behavior" during a violent attack on Vietnamese fishers in the disputed South China Sea. The 10 fishermen were reportedly beaten with iron bars and robbed of thousands of dollars' worth of fish and equipment on Sunday off the Paracel Islands -- an archipelago in the resource-rich waterway claimed by China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Taiwan, Malaysia and Brunei. Vietnam "resolutely protests the brutal behavior of Chinese law enforcement forces against Vietnamese fishermen and fishing vessels operating in the Hoang Sa archipelago of Vietnam", foreign ministry spokesperson Vietnam Pham Thu Hang said in a statement, using the Vietnamese term for the Paracel Islands. "The above actions of Chinese law enforcement forces seriously violated Vietnam's sovereignty" over the archipelago, the statement said. Four of the Vietnamese crew were taken to hospital on Monday
