Heard nothing in Cavite so perhaps thats a good sign.
Ah I see, not good :( really hope he is ok!

Regards Visa's I was amazed last month, I got caught in the ash cloud debacle and had to go to Intramuros to make sure that I would be ok on exit (our embassy said stranded passengers were ok and would not be penalised but I was not willing to take a chance).

Anyway I got to the BI only to discover that I had been given a Balikbayan stamp on entry !!!! Luckily I found this out before I spent two hours filling in forms only wasted a journey and maybe 10 minutes of our time.

I wish the lassie at NAIA immigration had at least told me I had a one year entry permit (BB status is not a visa) I hadn't a clue, it was only after going to the BI and looking closely that I realised there was no exit date on my passport stamp
