You're not alone Kim. When I tried to visit Singapore with my OFW passport they stopped me. They were asking from me a job contract from a company in Singapore. So, I applied for tourist passport and cancelled my OFW passport. Then I was able to proceed to Singapore to visit my brother and his family. After that again I have to cancel my tourist passport to get an OFW passport to be able to come here in Doha where I was hired through a manpower agency who asked for one month salary as placement fee without issuing a receipt. I spent another 5k pesos for the processing of my papers there in P.I. We are helpless victims of our system of governance. This news is a victory for us OFWS and others and hoping more changes for our benefits will come from the government.
