when u see “modernization,” it’s straight RED FLAG!!! modernization theory was the propaganda of US cold ward telling “underdeveloped countries” that they will help them “modernize” by letting them exploit ur resources.
Businesses want BI to review immigration fee
EYES WIDE OPEN - Iris Gonzales @eyesgonzales
Even the business sector is worried over the proposed new immigration fee of P480 per passenger.
That’s saying something, especially now that the cost of just about everything is on the rise.
In a position paper sent to The STAR, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) said that while it supports modernizing the country’s borders, the proposed fee should be assessed before implementation.
PCCI said the review should take into consideration the existing passenger and travel-related charges already imposed in the Philippines as well as the charges imposed in comparable ASEAN countries, as we may lose more tourists to our neighbors. tinyurl.com/s95rutjj
