Rob is correct as usual, there is as Rob says little point in loosing ones temper in the departure hall at NAIA, (A) It embarasses the wife if she is with you, (Filipinos do not like direct confrontation), (B) it makes it harder for the rest of us, and we all get tied with the same brush. (C) you run the risk of being classed as an undesirable.
The fact of the matter is, we are guests in their country, its up to them if they want to get us to fill in a poxy little form that takes 2 seconds to complete, we all know what it is for, its so someone can have a job, we understand that ? whats the big deal about it, just fill in the form and give it in, there is also little point in blowing off steam at immigration officers, they can be awkward with you if they want, we all know that these people have a certain amount of power, they can refuse entry and refer you, they can refuse exit as well, and refer you, they can do all sorts of things, it is as Rob says, When in Rome do as the Romans would do, a Polite Sir or Maam always does the trick.
