An Act Mandating the Reimbursement of Travel Expenses Incurred by Filipino Passengers Whose International Departure Is Deferred or Denied by the Bureau of Immigration, Subject to Anti-Trafficking Safeguards, and Prescribing the Conditions Therefor
The bill would require the government to pay back the cost of a flight ticket to any Filipino traveler whose international departure is delayed or denied by the Bureau of Immigration because of immigration checks, unless a court order or other disqualifying reason applies. Claims must be filed within 30 days, are processed by the Bureau and the anti‑trafficking council within 30 working days, and each passenger can receive only one reimbursement per year.
