i think there are no less than a hundred who secured tourist visas from agencies...without the affidavit of support, either they take the risk of being offloaded or they look for means to let somebody from "inside" ""assist""! there should have been an announcement - let's say : EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1 2010, ALL PASSENGERS FOR QATAR AND THE UAE CARRYING TOURIST VISAS AND SPONSORED BY AGENCIES ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO BOARD. Or at least, they should have informed Qatar Embassy in the Philippines so they will stop processing the authentication and stamping of tourist visas under agencies' sponsorship. Proper information dissemination and grace period should have been observed before implementing this abruptly!
