if they run out of passports by june, and it takes at least 7 months to get new passports...this means there'll be a shortage of philippine passports from july 2007 to january 2008."in the testimony of assistant secretary domingo lucenario during the court hearing, he clearly stated that the country's passport supply is only up to june this year. it takes at least seven months for the bsp to deliver new passports," he said.. . .
"once the supply of passports runs out, and unless there is a way to go around the legal skirmishes, the constitutional right to travel of thousands of filipino travelers and our overseas filipino workers could be seriously impaired," he added.
we cannot travel to the us, or anywhere else, without passports.
lifting of retrogression will be of no use to us if we don't have passports.
