The United States government has commended the Bureau of Immigration (BI) for preventing 200 American registered sex offenders (RSOs) from entering the Philippines in 2018.
Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said Friday the bureau was recently awarded a certificate of commendation by the US Embassy in Manila after registering the second highest number of excluded American RSOs throughout the world last year.
Mexico, which shares a land border with the US in the southwest, recorded the highest number of intercepted RSOs.
“I commend our officers deployed at our ports of entry for a job well done. Because of your vigilance and alertness, you were able to turn away these sex offenders to protect fellow Filipinos from possible exploitation,” Morente said in a statement.
The US Embassy’s citation specifically commended the BI’s port operations division (POD) as well as the airport operations section (AOS), travel control and enforcement unit (TCEU), and border control and enforcement unit (BCIU), which are all under the POD, for successfully implementing the “Angel Watch” program in the country’s ports.
I’m Robert. I have a valid passport. But have to report my travel to the authorities where I live and check in twice a year.I was denied entry to Thailand in March. Wanted to give the Philippines a try but I’m afraid it will happen again. Any suggestions for asain travels or retiring in a foreign country.
hello. does anyone know any rso tried to enter in philippines after pandemic?
update
I Have a Question… I have noticed that there is a Lot of discussion about the Philippines Blacklist, But is Anyone Aware of Other Countries who deny entry to RSO’S of having A Blacklist? and if so is there a list of those Countries? I use the travel matrix website but it doesn’t discuss Blacklisting it only shows which country allows or Deny’s Entry
Just google the name and put in judge philippines
or do google search hit imiages
I am Marjorie Dempsey and I am a judge in the Philippines. I’m married to a registered sex offender
for ten (10) years now. Before I married him, i already know that he is in the registry but that did
not dissuade me from marrying him.
The Philippine Constitution has been patterned to the US Constitution because the Philippines was
once occupied by the United States of America. The Philippines adopted the US Constitution
because it is the better one among that of the Spanish or Japanese Constitutions. Although we
don’t have a registry of sex offenders, said registry is unconstitutional in many aspects.
1. It is an ex post facto law because it increases the penalty after the crime was committed. In the
case of my husband, when he was convicted in 1997, the registry was not yet in effect. Thus after
serving time in prison, and out on parole, that should be the end of it. However, in 2006, with the
passage of the Adam Walsh Act, he was required to register quarterly for a lifetime. This violates
the rule against retroactivity of laws. What is worse, several laws of similar import has been passed
throughout the years which inflicts graver restrictions and added penalties. Every time a new
penalty is added on top of the already served sentence, it creates a new sentence. This is punitive
plain and simple. The accused who have already served his original sentence will never be freed
from his sentence because of the change shifting penalties. Retroactive application of laws should
only be allowed when it would benefit the accused, consistent with the Pro Reo Principle.
2. It is violative of the Due Process Clause. By due process, an accused should be afforded all the
information regarding the crime he committed at the time it was committed. At the time my
husband was charged, the penalty was imprisonment for a given number of years as defined in the
law violated. Armed with that knowledge, it aided him to admit liability. With the
subsequent passage of the Adam’s Walsh Act, it imposed an added layer of penalty that was not in
the charge when the plea was made. Thus, in order not to violate the due process clause, only those
accused at the time when the penalty included being in the registry who should be bound by it.
3. It violates the Equal Protection Clause. Subjection to lifetime registry for sex crimes but not on
other crimes which are equal to or more severe than sex crimes unjustly puts the former at a great
disadvantage, something that is frowned upon by any democratic institution. For instance, a person
convicted of urinating on a tree in a park is much more severely punished that that of a person who
assaulted someone because the former bears prison time and lifetime registry as against the latter
where the person after paying his dues to society can enjoy his freedom unimpeded.
Because of the cruel restrictions imposed by the registry requirement, my husband has been denied
being a father to his two daughters, a grandfather to his grandchildren. Likewise, my son is robbed
of being with his two sisters and their kids.
Okay if you’re supposed a judge in the Philippines what avenues are there for us US citizens to file a motion to be able to enter the country.
I know you can do this with mexico since it violates the Mexican constitution. You can create a legal case once you’re denied in the country. What avenues are there for the Philippines to challenge this?
doing the research…Im not On the reg, so I can get in and out Im going straight to this Judge as covid restrictions is over,
I to have a wife there but our child is here with me in US
Imigration denied me 1 time already so this time I got it together waiting on a denial again
Convicted aggravated sex assault 1990 ..served prison time and released before Megan’s law went into effect..Ben to Philippines twice..married to Philippine women.
Forced on registry years later..now I can’t go anymore!!
What if you remove your name in the sex offender list? Is there any problem still?
can i contact u jean I’ve the same situation with u I have questions to ask..
Hello I’m a registered sex offender, I met a woman who is in the Philippines we want to get married and have her come to America, however I am required to meet her first in the Philippines, will I be allowed to enter the Philippines???
1 you will never make it in for 1 and if u do your 1 of the luckier ones, and you have to meet twice separate entries.
and to be fair dont marry the Pinay as you will ruin her life waiting on something that is never going to happen.. #EXPERENCED
2 RSOs are Banned from filing family petitions
3 if you do expect 5-6 yr until they review it #EXPERENCED
then be denied anyway… just how it is #EXPERENCED
3rd time refiling i-130 is in review now and Ive been married 10 yrs and not blacklisted from ph. not RSO as well off 23 yrs
what do you guys think of this? will this add a extra layer of hoops for us, to me it appears any offence against anyone under 18 is banned even off registration. been waiting 12 years probably will still try to get there.
SB 2209 provides a comprehensive list identifying which acts constitute online sexual abuse of children.
The bill would also give additional tools to law enforcement agencies to go after Filipino and foreign sexual abusers of children. Any sex offender convicted overseas would be blacklisted and would be barred from entering the Philippines.
does appear it might not be passed yet “SaferKidsPH calls on both chambers of the Philippine Congress to immediately pass Senate Bill No. 2209 into law before the end of the 18th Congress. We believe that this Bill will institutionalize existing efforts and interventions in supporting the government, introduce stronger, more responsive and protective measures for children, and involve all relevant stakeholders including the public in the fight against OSAEC.”
where did you find this blog?
I found this
Senate Bill No. 2209 or the strengthening protections against online sexual abuse and exploitation of children bill
i looked a few places, found it on janice’s acsol site, and also looked up the bill, and found an article saferkidsPH. ill see if i cant find where i took that bit from
https://www.rappler.com/nation/senate-approves-bill-tougher-crackdown-online-sexual-abuse-children
I did read somewhere that this law will implement a registration list as well.
My wife is a Filipino by birth, and is now a dual citizen, but she is a registered sex offender in the US. Will she be barred from living in the Philippines, if she is still a Filipino citizen with a Filipino passport?
I’m not sure, but I do know that the Philippine Government does apply their Laws Differently to Natural Born Citizens Than Aquired Citizenship or Foreigners depending on which Law. But I think as long as your wife’s Philippine passport is valid she should be ok.
Thank you, Jack for giving me your inpit. I appreciate it.
Hello sir I’m a Filipina I have fiancée which is sex offender but had served already and it’s been for 23 years and not committed any other crime can he to Philippines…and his already 63 years old..
Concerned
I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around your comment of Asawa on the registry, blows my mind I lived there 9 yrs still have home there, and I do Know well there are things there that are the “Norm” but would never fly here… I know well that Philippines needs to clean up there own country on a lot of Issues pertaining to sexually
we are selves would end up on a registry 4 sure ,
1 issue in particular is Pnoy just just urinating on the streets In front of all to see and they have no shame, even a Taxi driver got out and took a whzz on the side of a church… dont set much if an example for the future generations. I have a 6 yr old Fil-Am child soo very loving and happy child but now I have to Shame her away from greeting other children with hugs at her school as I to, worry..
This registry Dont care who or how old they put on this registry, has been proven cases many times over. as for your question
Ph. cant stop your wife she is citizen of PH and natural born there But I can sure bet they will give her a serious Hard time, at the door as a green notice will go out.
Ive been coming and going to Ph, for many yrs Blacklisted 1 time due to a federal Jackass in the embassy where I filed my wife Visa he Lied to Mison told them I was RSO and I wasn’t, after I was done with that mess he was pulled from the Ph Embassy Permanently.
now with that Safekids ph it says barring all convicted sex offenders, yet I my charge didn’t go down as a conviction on my Record Yet our government claims under AWA any with hold ADJ, Alfred plea or not is still considered a conviction but for the fact that AWA dont Apply there (yet) im sure US will try to control that as well, in time.. that Im sure this has already been discussed with BI to screw more American cits. into destroying more families and breaking up solid marriages that are truly genuine
would anyone be able to refer a lawyers name that can check the blacklist in the philippines? so far no luck, one i talked to wants me to talk to the embassy in chicago, i don’t feel thats the best way dont trust usa at all with this
Chance Oberstein [email protected]
If you haven’t try to come to the Philippines, then you’re not on the blacklist yet only RSO registered who tried to enter the Philippines is the one they are putting on the blacklist but if you haven’t tried yet and you haven’t encountered the Philippines immigration in the airport then 100 percent your not in the blacklist.
that is correct until you book your flight or 21 day notice
What I would like to find out is if I am on the blacklist. I have visited the Philippines 3 times Before They started Blacklisting RSO’S My last visit my wife who is a duel citizen and I stayed 4 months in 2009. Currently I am waiting to petition the court for Relief of registration under California’s New 3 tier system. I am Already eligible but have to wait for my birthday in January 2022 to file according to the law. I figure it will take me at least 2 yrs to complete everything (ie. Granted Relief, Removal from registry and Internet, Record expunged, And Then Apply for new passport with NO IDENTIFIER stamp. So far the department of State has never asked for my old passport back which expired a year ago. Then my last step will be to have my wife check if I am on the Blacklist.
So meaning if someone removed his name in the sex offender registry and wasn’t able to come yet, possible that he could enter Philippines?
Beau
to be honest contacting embassies and telling of your situation
only opens Pandora’s box to be targeted and most likely be blacklisted cause you basically informed them on your intentions,
using an attorney is the last resort to get back in if your are blacklisted
I tell ppl in your position if you have a GF wife or other to give them the cover page of your passport and have them go to a bureau of Immigration office, and go from there on your next moves
Ive had others email me or chat me, I have a good friend in PNP who will go to check your passport for you
but again as for going to embassies or other entities your just opening yourself for scrutiny and blacklisted
not sure why a lot of Ppl here want to use an embassy or DFA to expose themselves all your doing is alerting official’s of your intentions and no need for AWC to alert them cause you already did.
Just sayin to all here use a different route to find out if your BL. we all have big enough bullseye on or backs to add even a bigger one
If you are blacklisted to get back in (a crapshoot)
but it does work depending on your crime.
1 need to be married
2 own joint ownership of property
3 if you have a child as well
4 the big 1, lots of pics to prove a valid relationship
YES #EXPERENCED ON THIS BEEN THERE DONE THAT
have order proving it as well
awesome thanks guys. I havent had a passport while i was registered. just thinking of jakes situation and how he was on the list without trying to go before. Have an ex girlfriend in Kuwait was going to ask her to do it when she goes home thru manila boarder. she don’t know when she is going home though, she could right where she gets her passport scanned, would she be able to get mine checked the same spot?.
have about until sept 6th. no wife and kids yet but if I get in have someone that would. if not choosing another place. main goal is to get out of the usa. Philippines keeps pulling me that way though
no not at entry point she needs to go direct to Manila office or a satellite office
Awesome thank you, I’ll check if she can that. Been waiting for this try for 7 years. Just wrapping stuff up in USA is left:)
Wonder what effect this will have on people who were removed from the registry or who had a crime but never fell in that group
Bureau of Immigration, Republic of the Philippines
PRESS RELEASE
17 December 2020
BI hails EO on Advanced Passenger Info system
The Bureau of Immigration (BI) welcomed the issuance by President Rodrigo Duterte of an executive order mandating the implementation of an advanced passenger information (API) system to strengthen border control and thwart the entry of terrorists and other undesirable aliens in the different international ports of entry nationwide.
In a statement, Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said the API project will surely boost the country’s ability to police its borders as it will add a layer of protection from foreigners with criminal and derogatory records from boarding vessels right at their ports of origin.
“This EO will surely secure our country from fugitives, terrorists, transnational criminals as well as other undesirable aliens attempting to slip into our country,” Morente said. “We are thankful to President Duterte for his continuous support, as this is a big step in improving the Bureau’s systems,” he added.
Under EO 122, the API is the electronic transmission of information by the captain, master or agent, or owner of a commercial carrier to the Bureau of Immigration (BI) prior to a traveler’s arrival or departure in a Philippine port of entry.
Such information includes flight details, name, date of birth, gender, citizenship and travel document data of the individual passenger or crew/non-crew members.
The API will enable the BI to conduct in advance security vetting of international travelers to effectively facilitate and expedite the arrival and departure process of legitimate travelers during primary inspection,” the EO stated.
Morente said the new scheme will also help decongest the airports and ease the conduct of immigration formalities for travelers because the derogatory checking of inbound passengers will already be done at the ports of origin, thus travelers who have derogatory records will no longer be allowed by the airlines to board their flights.
It would also allow them to closely monitor movement of suspected illegal syndicate members who are subjects of alert lists of international intelligence agencies.
The BI chief bared that in compliance with the EO, the BI will soon constitute a technical working group composed of representatives from various government agencies and private sector that will draft the API’s implementing rules and regulations (IRR).
“We are required to finish the IRR within 60 days so we have to convene this technical working group as soon as possible,” said Atty. Candy Tan, BI Port Operations Division Chief.
The system, she shared, is being used by advanced countries such as Australia, Canada, and the United States.
She added that the new scheme would require the Bureau to conduct advance derogatory checking or vetting of thousands of passengers who enter and exit the Philippines daily.
I am a RSO and want to go to the philippines to get married to my fiance. Is there away I can get in to the philippines or a country were we can go to to get married. Thank you Richard
You can go to Hong Kong and marry your fiance there. However, contact the embassy at email: [email protected] and tell them you want to get married in Hong Kong. They will send you back an email within 2 days explaining the requirements. Good luck!!!
So, let me get this right… the US courts DON’T care about evidence of my innocence, and now after I did my time and the extended parole they illegally changed on me, I am not allowed to start over in another country… because let’s face it my life is OVER here in the US… No job, home, romantic partner, or educational opportunities… but I am also NOT allowed to kill myself… WTF… am I suppose to do…
I’m not following… there are many countries you are able to go to.
Can an RSO travel to Taiwan?

#EXPERIENCED
Hi,. Your video is gone. Can you repost again. My gf of 1.5 years broke up with me because I couldn’t travel there to meet her family. It’s this a big thing in the pi?
In california and off state register next year
Just Remember The New 3 Tier System In California Only Allows You To Petition for Relief From Registering it is NOT A GUARANTEE the D.A. will Still be able to Contest your Petition and the final decision will be up to the Judge. Make sure you have all necessary supporting documents before you file your petition. Your Public Defenders office on the court where your case was heard should be able to assist you.
that video was removed Via youtube Ive had many ppl asking to repost it I have copy somewhere on a USB chip but Ive searched for it
and still searching, use this email as contact point, there are 100s of thousands of ppl Like us who are in same boat Registered or not.
[email protected]
under USCIS rules
you have to meet 2 different times b4 you can consider a visa
there is more to all this.
Respiratory I found the video in file
If you fine a way to get in phillipines let me know I want to see my f2f there so we can. Marry ok
Hi Richard, If you Really Want To Get Married My Advice Would Be For You And Your Fiance To Meet In Hong Kong Enjoy Your Time There Take A Lot Of Photos Of The Two Of You Together, Then Any Letters You Have Keep Them As Evidence Also Any Email Print Them Out. Then When You Come Back To The US File A Fiance Petition it’s i128 Form Make Sure You ask For The Package as there are other forms that need to be filled out. There is a requirement that you must have met in person with in 2 years of Petitioning That’s what the pictures and letters are for. Everything can be done in less than a year
tes did u & ur bf met in the Philippines?
Is there a possiblity that one of you can finally enter the Philippines? I feel hopeless
Ive been off registry since 2013, traveling extensively in asia the past three years. Will i still be denied entry to philippines if not in any regustry anywhere for long time now? My wife is filipino, knows my past. In process of renewal passport so, if theres no identifier, will i be allowed entry?
Jake if I were you, if you have family in the Philippines ask them to check with customs or DFA if you are on the blacklist. That’s what I had to do. If you are on the blacklist then you will need an attorney to get you removed or file a petition yourself- be prepared this maybe a long process
If i apply for a visa before I go, wouldn’t I be denied if i was on blacklist? I’m planning on getting an attorney on retainer just in case, but would i be allowed to stay in Philippines while it goes thru court?
Put it this way and again I am
not a lawyer but know this from first hand experience so it’s best to get a lawyer like I did. If you are on the blacklist you cannot step foot in the Philippines whether you are off the registry or not. It will save you money and time if you send someone you trust to DFA to ask a copy of the blacklist letter if you are still on it. If you are not on it, it’s best you get a copy just in case you get stopped by either USA or Philippines
JAKE
I would highly advise you NOT to get a visa in advance to phils. ph embassy in US has several ways to get your criminal record, thus your finished
as for going to DFA advise again against it including reports from AWC and DHS will pop up
Have your wife girlfriend take copy of your passport to bureau of immigration…seriously #EXPERENCED i still to this day have my wife go a few days b3 my travel there.
I wasn’t even on the Reg off 2006 but in 2013 as well blacklisted for false accusations of being RSO I got back in 4 months later no attorney needed just alot of hoops, mainly if you get blacklisted and your not a RP then the process is not to hard to get lifted
proof relationship Marriage joint land agreement
I’m currently in vietnam, have been here 3 years, will be going to hong-kong soon for the renewal of my passport. I’ll find out then if I’ve got the identifier stamp. I’ll know for sure then if my access to travel will be denied for sure. Getting a lawyer and having wifes cousin do the blacklist check at immigration. Thanks for the advise to both of you, very much appreciated. Hopefully all comes together sooner than later, or not at all. At least I’ll know. I hate not knowing.
Please keep us in the loop
I shall, also, I’ll post lawyers contact info if he’s good and everything comes together.
heading there in September as well, off the reg last year, flying from Hong Kong bc I am nervous angel watch will send their notices. you’re good already out of usa but others something to think about. plan on trying this year? if you go before me and have issues, will probably try Vietnam or napal, if I go before you can let you know as well?
There is also a bill on the table in the senate I got a response from a phil lawyer that said its not a law yet, but could cause up problems if passed but this was 2019 and hasent made progress past that it seems like
Foreign sexual offenders may soon be barred from visiting the Philippines following a bill recently filed in Senate. Senate Bill No. 2192, authored by Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III, pushes for the protection of children from “travelling sex offenders” by barring their entry in the country.Feb 23, 2019
i mistyped that, it did pass thru the Senate, but I havent seen it go anywhere from there
I’ve heard about that. so far so good. as soon as able to travel to philippines, we are going. Until then prolly pass the time in vietnam. Just had our twin babies in hk. I’m not too worried about it
Nice congrats on the twins, you need to get in there more:) same I figured they would pass it by now if they wanted to i stopped paying attention to it for the most part. just waiting for my passport here but just applied a couple days ago, believe ill Have a 4 month wait, they are so behind lol
jake with Vietnam are you able to stay there more than the 3 months at a time or do you end up leaving the 3 months and coming back for another 3 months in a year? considering Vietnam and Armania now if I have to go back and forth will fill up the year except for 5 days, if i can get in philippines for 30 days a year would be perfect. Got my passport within a month surprisingly it is not stamped.
Hi! I just want to ask some question please I have the same situation can I have your email address please?
Lorraine
DO NOT go through DFA
if your HB/BF is blacklisted
you take copy of his passport page as well as a POA signed by him to give you permission to act as his agent go to MNL Bi. and get the info on his blacklisting and ask for the document of his blacklisting, If by chance they give it to you I want to see it, Im working on something gathering up all RSO blacklisting documents
FYI @Kaye she has my email address
Hello George! Have you ever try to visit Philippines or Taiwan or some Asia country? If yes! Please let me know what you did. I have a bf which is RSO, and he cant visit me here in Taiwan (my workplace) or back home in the Philippines..
We’re together for three years, his past is still holding him so he cant travel. 😔😔😔
Kaye
I knew a guy who married has 1 child in phils he was blacked listed since 2015 when he booked ahead in advance, (gave AWC time to catch up to his flight plan)
with that said he and his wife and child meets in HK 3x a yr, yes he does get stopped in HK but allowed to stay explaining that his wife and child are from Phils they are at Hotel XXX and waiting for him since they cant meet in Phils
So you mean, if he travel to HK theres a possibility that he’s allowed there? I’m doing a bloody research if he can visit Taiwan, unfortunately I haven’t seen any infos about it..
I hope if his record gets removed he will allowed to enter Philippines.
Hk is no problem at all for me, i go there 4x a year for past 3.5 years. No questions asked.
Good thing! Btw. What are those back up documents you bring? I will suggest him that soon. Once the virus are gone.. and everyone can travel safe.
I dont bring any documents but my passport. But i dont have the identifier stamp on it either, if he does, he may have an issue.
yes Lang a friend has travel 3x a yr for the last 5 yrs no issues, but stopped to ask reason for wanting entry at the end of the Q&A he was in,
Hi kaye, if your bf is a RSO his US passport will have a statement printed on the last page Stating he was convicted of a Sex Crime. It is up to the country where he wants to travel too to let him in or not. And I have not found any Country’s that allows RSO now.
Not all have the stamp.
Not all have been turned away.
Reference the RTAG Travel Matrix.
Hi, George, can I ask the process or have any information about how to go thru DFA, please I’m so hopeless also
Hi Lorraine, I sent a friend to go to the DFA, I believe in Pasay or Pasig city. My friend just went to the office where they have records of who is on the blacklist or not. You have to give the officers the social security number of the person who is or maybe on the blacklist, full legal name and nationality. Also maybe the passport number
Hi George, is the immigration in the Philippines giving the waiver so RSO can enter the Philippines? my plan is maybe going to immigration and ask for a waiver so my husband can enter the Philippines. Do you have any idea of this kind of process?
DI ko alam Lorraine. SIguro sa waiver ng DFA or BI. However your husband will need a valid reason and/or connections to enter the country. You will need to get the blacklist letter and if you choose get a lawyer since DFA or BI can give you a hard time. DFA is asking me to pay 50k php to clear the blacklist so its all about money if you really the problem to resolve itself and depende ng reason for your husband visit
George question
are you registered citizen?
if you are and they lift the blacklisting for 50k php 1000 USD
still each time Angel watch will still send a green letter to Philippines therefore blacklisted over and over paying bribes forever
if your not a registered citizen not much of an Issue
@#Experienced
Yes I am a registered citizen and also have my case on appeal which my attorney is using as a reason to get the waiver lifted in my case. As far as angel watch is concerned- the US government can send an alert as many times as the want to countries RSO may go to however, its not up to Angel watch for the citizen to go through and clear customs, its up to that individual country and its law and how the run things. If they lift the waiver on me its just a one time thing so if I am reading your message right, you are suggesting every time I or someone who is blacklisted leaves the country they will get blacklisted again and have to pay 50k PHP to just get a waiver again, obviously that is not the case as once you get the waiver you can’t be on the blacklist unless you give them reason to put you on it.
My husband is been always in the Philippines every year only this 2018 he turned back to the USA due to RSO. And he also has a permanent resident card in the Philippines and we have 2 kids there that’s why we really want him to visit the Philippines..so if we’re going to pay 50k is it 100 % sure they let my husband enter?
Unfortunately Lorraine and you or your husband has to contact a lawyer to confirm but in 2018 Philippines banned all RSOs from the country whether they are from the USA, UK, Canada or any place that you have to register. Everyone case is different, I do not know your husband charges, and I don’t know what everyone else here is charged and either been convicted or had a plea deal but just because I said 50k does not mean it will apply to everyone but from what my attorney has said they will want money to clear the waiver so no not 100% there have to be other factors such as did your husband complete his sentence? Maybe the age of your children- if your children are still a minor, I don’t think it will help your case especially if your husband case involved a minor. Again I do not know your husband situation. In regards to your second question about requirements, with their being a ban of all RSO in the Philippines you will need most likely legal help as this has nothing to do with requirements. What does help is if you have children and the age of them or any connections to the country. As far as months it could be anywhere between 6-12 months however with the pandemic be prepared for it to be longer. The reason I have not finished my waiver as of yet is because my case is going through appeal and both of my lawyers suggest I wait out the appeal process before resuming getting a waiver so I don’t waste money on two attorneys. I hope this helps and sorry that I can’t answer more since I am not a lawyer but you will probably need a licensed legal help to get what you want accomplished rather than get several different opinions from the members here.
Loraine I can give you some help on that I was blacklisted on a false accusation of being an RSO I got back in your situation and married and children will hold alot of weight…
stay away from DFA and the rest of them damn cronies
dont waste any money…
get my email from Kaye
If the passport is blacklist where to get the letter fpr that
the spouse or wife for the person blacklisted need to go to BI and ask for all the documents the person blacklisted as well has to give a POA to the person going into BI acting as his agent
but again gook luck cause after the blacklisting and that little paper the immigrations hold in front of the person Magically disappears #Experenced been there done that
All my yrs in and out of Phils and try to get RSOs back in I’ve never seen such waiver Period
when you go to DFA our opening Pandoras’ Box
Ive posted several times how to go about checking if the BF is blacklisted and how to get back in what steps
seems it all falls on deaf ears here
My husband case is a 3 11.0 it was a plea deal he has never been in prison it was more on pornographic no-touch involve after this pandemic maybe I should try to inquire also at the immigration about his case. Thank you so much for your reply George I hope every one of us here will be successful in this kind of case.
What are the requirements to remove you in the blacklist please and how many months for the process?
Jake
Have you tried entering Philippines?
My boyfriend has same case as yours. I want to know what you did if you already entered in my country. Thank you
Not yet, i just got an immigration attorney to do derogatory records sesrch to see if I’m blacklisted. If so, he will stsrt process of getting waiver started so i can enter. I’m waiting on results now of search. I’ll post something ehen i know more.
Hi again.. I’m sorry if Im too talkative.. its just I’m dying to see my boyfriend 😞
In your case, are you guys allowed to get a passport? Or not? Because you guys can have driver’s license for sure
Yes, can get a passport, but as I ssid, im not required to register anymore and i dont have the identifier stsmp on passport. I dont know what your bf crime was or circumstances of his probation etc. I’m off paper so i was able to do ehat i want legally.
Good thing you guys can get one.. I’m just wondering..
he knows I’m having a conversation with you guys
if your spouse is on the registry chances of Visa is Null, I know well im not on the registry and still denied, and visa again running 4 yrs now so with that said you know the out come i posted here b4 on this issue somewhere basically 1000s of petitions filed out of 1000s of them from 2010-2016 4 have been issued
kicker I have our 5 yr old daughter with me here in the US and still will be denied
Experienced – please reach out to Paul at RTAG. Just to get your situation on his Radar.
Does your wife already visit USA?
Not yet, we are in final stages of spousal visa. Just waiting for her interview. With trump in office and all the new immigration laws, I’m not very hopeful, thats why I’m looking into going to Philippines instead. Im not a rich man and have been in vietnam for three years living off my savings. She is in hk working and i go visit her for my visa runs.
Atleast! Yay! Hope things work out with you and her..
im still searching if he can visit here in Taiwan where I work
For the fast process of her going there that, you’ve already visited Philippines! One proof that could lead her to get there. I guess
Jake your in final stages of K1 visa interview,
who is your attorney, maybe im betting on the wrong horse, did you go threw the hoops of risk assessment stat 99?
Hi Kaye, I will explain in Tagalog since I am a little fluent in the language. Mga taong blacklisted at banned sa mga bansang pupuntahan kinakailangan magparrehistro at ng waiver
Thank you! Please post more about it and about the process to undergo. Ive already told him about it
are you married? there with your Pinay?
if you not your wasting time and her life
i was off reg 2006 actually USembassy Phils

but the fact I had letters of expiration and Marriage contract and land title agreement and house there
I was allowed back in I did’nt go to DFA for the fact they have access or can request it from the us state dept and of course they will pass it to them though it is illegal under 1974 privacy act it has to have a consent form from you,I still have letter from embassy services stating that fact i try to locate it later
yes, married for four years now. planning on purchasing land/house as soon as i can get waiver if im on blacklist. we are now expecting twins in a couple months too.

crag
I’m not on any registry since about 2013. I’ve been off probation since 2010 and was a level 1 S.O. i believe. (lowest level).
Jake if your not on any registry then how did you get blacklisted? and god is willing you get back in we need to discuss the visa Issue and bring your wife here, been at a visa sine June 2013 and to this day 2nd time around still waiting for the denial USCIS used the merits of AWA incorporated into the immigration laws out of 100s of thousands of AWA visa filers and that is me and most likely you if you file only 4 have been approved out of that 100s of thousands Im over 15k so far in fees 4k of it was for a stat 99 and risk assessment 2,5% to never cause harm to another
USCIS says it has to be 0 risk and there is no scientific Proof that a human can never cause harm to another coughing in public is a risk to another and the USCIS knows this well but stand behind 0 risk beyond a reasonable doubt and of course the persons filing has to show burden of proof
this link will interest you when the time comes

i assume i was on blacklist when i was on registry.
for some reason this thread isn’t letting me reply to these last few posts.Anyway, I did not have to go thru any assessment. but I started the spousal visa before this international thing went thru I think. Lawyers name is Ryan Barshop, they have offices in NY, Manila, and Ho Chi MInh City, He was surprised that USCIS accepted my petition too. But I hired him anyway just in case I needed him to fight. He planned on using the defense that this was not a megans law enforceable crime. It was an internet sting and there was no actual victims really. they were police drag netting the net and posing as young girls being extremely forward and acting promiscuous and basically leading the potential perps. into committing their crimes. I’m not minimizing my part, I was wrong as the adult but I did get set up. I paid the price and learned a heavy handed lesson that will never happen again. Btw, maybe start a new thread instead of answering this one, I can’t answer anything further down then here anymore.
Jake
I’ve got a couple of questions would like to hit you up on emails instead of this forum I’m seriously thrilled your Asawa has interview !!! happy that you was approved!!!! I know i didn’t fall under megans law myself and have no identifier on a passport matter of fact I got my land and sea card last yr was off the registry in 07/2005
and per [email protected] once your off the registry IML dont apply
[email protected] (Tag)

Hello Crag
IML effects all registrants. If an individual is required to register in any jurisdiction, IML apples.
willing to chat me Via email Jake
[email protected]
Can you give me information on the attorney that’s doing the waiver form? I’d like to get more information. My GF also lives in the Philippines and I would like to be able to travel and visit her.
Jorge.
Please let me know if you get an information entering in my country please? Thank you.
And btw, Can I be friends with your GF? I want to have some talk with a girl who is same situation like me. Thanks
Hello Kaye. I also have an American RSO and is also getting hopeless if we will be able to meet in person. I’m in the Philippines and he is stuck in U.S. Btw, have you two already met in person? I would like to know what you both did. Thank you.
Hello. Email me @[email protected]
Lets talk over there and share some stuff
Experence can I get your email again, please I change phone and I forgot my password in my old phone
You both can try to meet in Hongkong they are not strict there and they allowed RSO.
Lorraine
Kaye has my email and Video that will explain some things
if your BF is american citizen and RSO you have NO chances right now, you can get an attorney and try to fight the blacklisting if your not married chances are NULL or even try to get in but as long as US has they nose in Phils Business it will never happen
it did for me cause I was off reg, 2005 not under IML I have wife in Davao there daughter with me here in US only reason why Ive not went back is our Famous covid which will never end
@chris my email is Posted up few blogs
How do you start this process. My case happened from teen girl luring me now I’m on registry for life. I have been dating a woman in Philippines for awhile and she wants to come to America to be with me but she has a culture that before she moves I have meet her family. I’d only be in Philippines for weekend then we both be coming back USA together. How do I go about this process. We are planning to get married. I only need meet her parents from like maybe 3 days.
My case happened over 10 years ago by way. Not 1 bit of trouble since now then
Jake as a level 1 S.O. who got off the list more than 7 years ago you are not on the black list. I am in the same boat as you and living in Thailand and have visited Manila numerous times over the past year without a single issue. By you doing all those things like checking black lists and putting your name out there you are only going to cause trouble for yourself by putting yourself on the radar there. There is a HSI office right there at the embassy and they will even tell you there is no issue for anyone over 7 years as the records are expunged on there system as well. However, if you start blabbing your name all over the place asking for black list info etc. you are looking to get yourself singled out. If you are in Vietnam take a flight there and you will see you will have no issues. Good luck!
I totally agree! in my prior posts Ive stated the same thing, Just opening pandoras box All over again new hoops challenges you name it they will have it
even being off the registry all its going to take is some asshole to drop a dime to Bureau Of Immigration and you finished I know as a FACT was done to me got back in few months later yet each time I enter Im asked where i plan to stay while im there ,I have a home and wife there so they have let up some
Hi Jimmy when you mentioned about 7 years are you talking about being off the registry?
Hi Jack,I’m blacklisted sinds 2014 and I’m rso in uk
Can you maybe give me any information if it’s possible to get lifted from the blacklist? I have fiancee and 2 children in philippines and I’m dying to see them,any help or information is welcome.
Thanks Rico
Not everyone on the SO registry is a threat. There are people in USA on SO registry for things such as playing doctor when they were little kids and you have teenagers who have had consensual sexual relations with each other and get caught in act and have their lives destroyed over this being forced to register as a SO. I call this Angel Watch Devil Watch! I feel these 200 people and all those on this registry need to stand up, fight back, and resist through any means necessary and defiantly enter the countries they were blacklisted from including the Philippines here and give the USA the finger. These RSOs should also tell off and shout down the lawmakers that make up these evil laws as well just as been done with some of the people in the Trump Administration by those oppossed to the Trump Administration and its policies. If I were forced to register as a SO as a child for playing doctor and were banned from entering a country as an adult, I would defiantly enter country making it clear that I was a child who did what is a natural part of growing up and should not be persecuted for it. Any attempts to make me leave country and send me back to USA would be met with resistance through any means necessary even if it meant committing acts of violence against the authorities keeping me out and against those trying to deport me back to USA. If lives would be lost through these acts of violence, so be it. To me, this would be no different then when there were resistance movements committing acts of violence with lost lives against the Nazis during WW2 in Nazi occuppied areas. This SO registry of the USA and the countries barring so called US sex offenders is no different then what happened during WW2 when persecuted groups of people fled Nazi Germany but were denied entrance because of them being Jewish, Slavic, Gypsy, etc… according to their passports. It would be thrilling to hear about a group of SOs resisting and fighting back at the authorities here defiantly entering the countries they were barred from refusing to leave. One day decades and centuries from now, this SO registry of USA and its horrors will be on the wrong side of history and future generations of students in a possible post USA society will learn of the atrocities committed in USA through the SO registry amongst many of the other horrors committed by USA both domestically and internationally. USA is a country that refuses to learn from history and is a present day violator of human rights both domestically and internationally. This SO registry is just one of USAs human rights violations.
on this travel blacklisting my recommendations
is to and after you give 21 day notice few days b4 travel have a friend in that country take photo copy of your passport page to there Bureau of immigration to check to see if you have been blacklisted, it save time shame money i still do it all the time, our country US does what they want
if they want to ram it up your A$$ though you our not registered they will send green notices as they done to me
I recently spoke to an attorney regarding this and I have started filing my case with the government. Obviously being a RSO you will be denied entry into the Philippines. That means, once you go through customs, they will turn you back to the next place to the USA. I was advise and I did obtain a “blacklist letter” stating I am blacklisted from entering the country because as of right now while I am appealing my case, I am a RSO. The only way to get removed from the RSO is to get a clearance letter from DFA in the Philippines, announcing you are allowed in the country. I have not gotten this far yet but my lawyer has advised that I will be denied at first, however after appealing my case, you may have a 50/50 chance on getting your wish but it could take months from happening. Best to file 3-6 months before you intend to travel for best result
That’s amazing to hear. Very curious about this processes and where it could lead to. Best of luck and please let us know of any news that comes from this.
I myself want to try and figure I it getting around this blacklisting especially with Mexico.
Any chance you could give the name and contact of the Attorny you’re working with?
Thank you
May i ask the lawyers name as I’m planning on getting a lawyer to fight for me anyway. I’m in the process of getting a new passprt soon and find out if they give me the stamp of death identifier.
Hello to GF, so your message was back in Febuary 20, I am American who lived and owns a call center in Makati, and has a 15 year old son there. I do not want to get turned away and thus since I have not tried to come, I am not blacklisted. I want to go through the process of having the BI or DFA give me a letter so that I am allowed through. So how has your lawyer done for you so far? It is now Oct. did you get your letter? Has anyone here been able to? I am now an RSO, and want to see if this is even possible.
Hi GF have you tried getting clearance from the DFA in the Philippines? And did they allow you to enter the Philippines?
Hi everyone one my husband is also a rso and he was sent back to the USA what are the requirements in order for him to be lifted from the blacklist. We’re married for more than six years now it’s just we’re not together and he wants to come back here in the Philippines to be with me. Any advice please. Thank you in advance.
Heil Trump….. Nuff said.
Go Nazi America.
Anyone know if this law has been put into place? Also I am a SO from the united states but want to travel to Philippines for a wedding in May. Luckily I have a second passport. Anyone have any insight on traveling with a second passport?
Word has been good about traveling on a second passport – please let us know.
Second passport as in passport issued by the receiving country? One would still need to make 21 days’ notification, correct?
I am reminded of inmate Paul Manafort, who allegedly had a U.S. passport and a second U.S. passport!
No – I think they meant dual nationality – passports from 2 separate countries.
Yes, 21 days notice is still required.
I went to the Philippines to marry the lady that I had known for 13 years and support her and our child – yet I was not allowed in – this was in 2015
Gee here…my bf is from Fl.USA he wants to come to marry here in Philippines he’s also a sex offender for more than 25 years is he allowed to come?
Unlikely
Gina
No
been married 7 yrs in Pinas our child is here with me in US I wasn’t even A RP been off over 15 yrs yet the government US Embassy decided to leak false information During a USCIS check, to BI causing a BL Order, claiming i was a RP took me 5 months to clear my name and I was back in and NO I didn’t use DFA went straight to
BI commissioner F. Mison,
Asawa had to go to Manila with release letter clean Interpol letter showing no cases… Joint property agreement I was back in awesome! had our daughter, now the Kicker though you may be off the LIST you cant Petition (USCIS) a relative Visa i-130 i-129 nothing! #experienced 2x riding the denial trail with USCIS 3 yrs
now though I have our 4 yr old daughter but she cant have her mama I cant have my wife cause our government states I may pose a risk to Mama (yes real US logical thinking) though we can live in the Pinas my health is failing fast had tickets booked for this yr soon next month but the Virus issue has again put a stop to it.
I give advice to any RSO traveling to marry a foreign lady Please dont! you are destroying her life waiting for you on a chance to be together or to have a marriage… these visas are called AWA visa filers …. from 2010-2016 1000s of RSOs filed family Visas’ 4 were approved and that is because there was a USCIS memo starting these kind of Visas’ should be rarely approved so your odds of approval is less then 4% and over 15k lost as of now for me now If I was to die she can come here IW1 widow visa yap I have to die,
HELLO THERE.. Did you hire an attorney to get straight to BI COMMISSIONER F. MISON ?
went straight to BI comissioner but that was 2013 they changed regimes since then but yes stay far from DFA go to manila get all of the documents they have on him he need to sign a POA over to you so you can get the documents and as i said before If you can get a copy if the BLO that they used against him I know well he never got to see it cause it names DHS as the 1 whom sent it ,If by chance you do get it (unlikely) I would like to have a copy of it
black out his name
are you married, is he a RSO or off the reg.
problem to getting back in is usually have to show Proof of a valid relationship Marriage certificate joint property children (iffy to use) if he is off the registry is a greater chance of getting back in
reason why I ask of the blacklist order as we need to show valid proof that DHS is telling the Pinas and controlling or behind the actions In other words pulling the strings Kaye on here has my email I have a blacklist lifting order blacked out
can I contact u, gina? ive something to ask same situation with me.
Hi. Did you already entered Philippines since you attempted? Please response. I want to know. Dying to know
The Biggest problem we all face is not enough money to hire lawyers who fight for us.
Google how many U.S. members of Congress have used tax payers money to settle allegations of sexual assaulted against them. And by paying off their accusers is admitting their guilt. It was the very same Congress men and women who wrote and passed the sex offender bills, so they knew what they were doing was a crime and what the consequences we’re. So if they are not going apply the law to the people who wrote and passed the laws then why should it be applied to anyone.
Please look up how many Congress men and women that have committed sexual assult. And Post in so the world can see.
How do they even know if your a sex offender if they don’t notify the Philippines? Canada doesn’t have angel watch so what gives ??
Canadians face fewer restrictions on travel since Canada does not subject it’s registrants to the equivalent to the US IML.
Only way Philippines would know if your an rso is if they were told ? Am I right ?
While they rejoice for their achievement, people are sentenced and punished for committing no crime. American citizens are discriminated against, embarrassed and humiliated, just for mistakes they did and paid their debt to society, not for facts that demonstrate they are going to commit any crime. If there are RSOs traveling abroad to commit sex tourism crimes, they, not all RSOs must be punished for those crimes. Why make everybody pay? The law doesn’t make any child safer if the RSO has turned his life around and is living a healthy and good life. And I can tell there are many, the majority of us who are living not in line with a mistake we make. The Majority of us are no danger to any minor, despise our mistakes. This law punishes the majority of people who are playing by the rules. It is destroying families. There are close to a million of us who are forced to register. But also, many of us can vote. Besides, we have family and friends, who in most cases support us and see this perpetual punishment as unjust. It is time for us to organize and send a message to politicians who constantly punish those who are doing well to make an exhibition of their concerns for children. We need to organize and make our voice and votes to be heard.
I know there are a lot of details not told yet , but just wanted to comment on the elephant in the room.
These 200 that have been listed as visiting the massage parlor in Jupiter . It’s going to be interesting to see how this plays out are they really going to be able to charge these Billionaires with any more than a slap on the wrist, I doubt it.
I’m glad to see that these young ladies are finally going to be able to be set free, But why did it take 6 months of surveillance. If young girls were stranded in there car in a river , in a flood , would you wait 6 months to rescue them. While you investigated who was responsible for the flood. Or were the investigators getting there jollies so much watching this that they let it go on for that long. Especially sense they said they knew it was going on for years. Also how many names have they removed from the list police officers politicians. Also how many on the list were on the registry? None I’ll bet, and will the 200 be put on the list? Time will tell.
I have to wonder what benefit the US government gets by having its own citizens being banned by FOREIGN countries.
There HAS to be one or it wouldn’t do it. Does anyone know what that benefit is?
The US doesn’t seem to have much of a problem having sex offenders from other countries come here, since most other countries DO NOT have a SOR.
I agree with you. At the least have sanctuary cities where RSO’s CANNOT be arrested for not registering. If they recommit then let them be punished accordingly.
Yes you are absolutely righ, and our fine government needs to add Bill Clinton’s name right along with all the Congress who has paid off their victims of sex abuse to the list of RSO’s and let the Philippines along with Mexico and other countries know that they pose a danger of committing sex turisom in their country.
I dont believe that is the same situation as Monica who was not a child. Maybe I am misunderstanding but i thought crimes against is the concern.
I agree that we need to do something.. I’m also a rso and I’m not a danger to anyone.
I agree I am rso also and did my time. I am not a threat children either. I don’t even have a single stipulation that’s how none threatening I am to children. I’m 35 now and been last 10 years out of trouble. And I still can’t travel? I messed up before not making sure and I don’t even date anyone over a 10 year difference older or younger that’s my rule since forever. They should change rules for rso travel to at least risk assessment or something or lie detectors tests or something give rso that deserve a chance to prove they no threat and let them live there life as long as doing what asked and told. Or even if they have check in with authorities daily or weekly or something.
I believe in this. Regardless of being an SO,RSO or even not on the registry, everybody is a treat in every way even a single normal action. It is up to us everybody to do the right thing. The law is very vias.. Everybody deserves to have their lives back and be happy together with family..
Honestly I agree and honestly they never will but I bet if they had teenage girls or boys hitting on them and it happened to them they would have a different aspect on situation all together.
Want to talk about banning rap because of there mistakes or with mistakes from being lied to. Not everything is fair and yes some reoffend but not all will. What is the difference I mean really talk about ban travel to registered sex offenders to protect children. What about drug dealers they can still travel and they sell drugs which destroys lives maybe even kills lives yet they can still travel. What happened to USA land of free. Equal rights. Laws put in place on purpose but to pick and choose is not right. Not everyone should suffer from one person reoffending. You f they were that worried they could always give lie detector tests to figure out intentions of tsp before they travel ask certain questions like if teen hits on you what do you do or shit like that I mean I seen some there stupid questions before which also labels rso on there severity. Also they could do so many years out of trouble and give those rso a chance to live rest there life somewhat normal and chances to travel world. I mean seriously already going through a lot did time. Jail, probation, register 1 or 4 times a year. Then all stipulations they deal with. Maybe if on vacation or something maybe check in daily or something with authorities 1 a day or every other day or something. Give some that actually showing they changed or messed up and fixed it a chance to somewhat live normal life. I mean not everyone on rso list actually deserves it. Like here in my state 13 year old girls and up be chasing older men then scream rap when mad. Should guys sleep with them not that is on them not making sure age but girls get nothing for lieing and bating men. This happen me 15 year old girl tell me she 18 and I get hemmed up for it but she nothing for lieing. Seriously. Laws are broken. Basically in end I understand laws about keeping children safe from rso but not all are bad. Most learn from mistakes. Not all should be punished for the rso being stupid. They give murderers and drug dealers more chances and less stipulations and the stuff they do just as well hurt children also. So no it’s not fair.
This is nothing new/ NAZI GERMANY would not let Jews leave the country, by stamping a BIG RED J on their passports
Somebody has to write to the department of state that their commendation means that they agree there is no recidivism in ex-sex offenders, and that is why they want the ex-sex offenders back into the us.
Seems like someone out of those 200 would be a great Case for the ACLU on the new passport stamp. Has FAC heard of any federal lawsuits coming up for the international Megan law?
There were two brought by Janice Bellucci in California, a third is being contemplated.
Indeed. Or a group of them as well. the more the merrier I would think.
Particularly the ones with family members there and with children of their own. Those who have official business there depending on income for their lively hood would be a good candidate as well.
It was the members of the U.S Congress who wrote and passed all the law’s against sex offenders. Go to Google and start googling Congress members changed with committing sex offences and you will find that over half of Congress has used tax payers money to buy off their victims. Mind you now that’s the same Congress what wrote and passed the laws so they knew what they were doing was a crime and what the consequences we’re. By paying off their accusers they admitted their guilt. If people like Bill Clinton and members of Congress are not going to held to the law’s they passed why should anyone else be held to follow their law’s when they don’t?
So i ask fact is this legal?
if only you could see what they really send..1st the US doesn’t say anything UNTIL you are in the air..2nd the US fabricates an email that deliberately makes you appear to be a wanted fugitive and no matter what your actual charge makes if appear as if if was yesterday and was slave trafficking..3rd the US actively PAYS foreign countrys to turn you around at thier ports…THIS is documented FACT.THE countrys are told not to let you know the email contents or actual agreement….Filipinos B.I shown me and discussed it with me..I was not allowed to take pictures but wow..just wow! the US government is levels of corruption beyond anything we could commit.
I m certainly not an Attorney but since the statistics show that those on the registry are no less likely to reoffend than the general population. Proven in part by the fact that by far most offenses are committed by those not on the registry. Why should not the burden of proof be put on the prosecution to prove in each case that this individual is more likely by far to injure someone than the general population before they are put on a registry in the first place. Does not the law say innocent until proven guilty , or is that just “ fake news”.
I personally know that that is what plea bargains are for is to get you to feel like your getting off easy when there trying to charge you with something they can’t prove usually because you’re not guilty, and making it sound like a good deal .
It’s like trying to beat the dealer in a card game when he sees the cards before there delt .

does anyone notice how many times they put the persons name in there BS letter
obvious answers
I see you met the welcome wagon as well very lucky to actually see the BS green letter majority dont
yes US controls who can enter the phils and who cant
been saying they were doing this for years but no one would listen…well now they are so proud of violating the constitution by travel restrictions they are bragging about it , will anyone listen ?the story’s one can tell about what politicians do in 3rd world countries..
Very Sad my wife is Filipino and we wanted to travel there for Christmas 2019 . She wanted to show our children what a $hit hole her country was. Now she will travel by herself because now my country is the same $hithole and now I am a prisoner. First it was the cruise ships banning then AIRBNB…then the British Virgin Islands…..now my country has me imprisoned again…
A big question I have is…what is the US doing to prevent sex offenders form OTHER COUNTRIES from coming here??? As I understand it, most other countries DO NOT have a SOR.
And…according to activists against RSOs…only 10 % of total sex offenders have been caught and are on the registry.
I guess the US doesn’t care about the other 90% traveling to other countries. Hypocrisy lives in America.
Isn’t it interesting that when our President attempts to bar criminals and illegal aliens from entering OUR country, he is vilified as a racist, xenophobe, and every other kind of low life that liberals can think of. When he wants to control admission by people from countries that have professed enmity towards the US, again, he is called racist names.
But we let it stand that it is worthy of award that 200 registered citizens were turned away from the Philippines for their past actions, not for any overt or current violations of the law.
So, this is the U.S. complimenting the U.S.?
I guess I’d you don’t like it, leave!
Oh, wait! You can’t leave. Does that make us prisoners?
YES it does make us prisoners who are always under active surveillance and who are restricted and not allowed freedom of movement which is a human right.
Registration IS Punishment.
Everyone is screaming “NO walls, NO borders”, yet they wont let you see the world. Isnt the Philippines (Asia) one of the biggest child sex trafficking places in the world?
I find this funny, if it werent so pitiful. They dont want you there, yet have no problem sending you a “child mail order bride”.
The Doctors in the “therapy sessions” constantly hammer into you do not be labeled. That is your therapy. Yet once you leave “group” you have to live in a world that labels you.
Whos exploiting who
Doesn’t this country have a problem with child prostitution themselves, with families there selling their kids for sex or something similar ? So the natives can act on it but foreigners can’t seems to be their understanding ? lol. wow. I wonder if an IML challenge can come up with those 200 Americans being rejected entry into the country.
Your exactly right. My daughter inlaw is phillipine. She has told us how different the culture is morally different.
Just a bunch of lackeys for the U.S. It is pathetic indeed. I thought the U.S is not suppose to impede or interfere with travel. Seems like they have their lap dogs doing it for them without them getting their hands dirty sort to speak.
Wow…2nd place in the World Stupid Contest. I wonder how many families were left at the airport with tears in their eyes as a result of this accomplishment.
I want to ask a question here…. just supposing you traveled to offend against a child, if you were unwilling to face the consequences in a US prison, why would you risk a stay in a 5 bar hotel in a 3rd world?
I had a 37th wedding anniversary to Costa Rica and it went that way. My wife of 37 years and I spent the night on
the floor of the airport terminal. I looked at Puerto Rica and we booked our flight to Costa Rica. My bad. I have since let my USpassport expire rather than take “the mark” in yet another way. The depth and breadth of our freedom is not freedom, it is containment in a cage in which we can see the world we desire to visit but are stopped by bars sometimes too thin to be seen. We have chosen to stay “home” and enjoy the US.
We will never win with the argument for ourselves they don’t care it’s not about right or wrong it’s about making victims feel like they’re being Avenged the true victims in all these situations like you were saying is third-party the people who have not offended the people who have chosen to accept us and love us regardless of our faults people with forgiveness in your hearts they’re being told they don’t have a right to choose you that’s the only argument that can be made that they will listen to I travel to the Philippines about 3 years ago and was turned around in Manila my girlfriend at that time was dying to see me we’ve been together for 3 years since then our relationship is falling apart I wonder which to justice for her she had no choice to let me go why hold on to something you can never be with tell me again the argument for ourselves and justices Double Jeopardy none of that will mean anything to them they just sit and laugh because that’s what they want but the real argument is how can you offend an innocent person how can you choose for them who they want to be with what about the collateral damage to them
Actually the Philippines is one the largest sex trafficking places in the world.that’s because the USA is no longer land of the free so the American flag does not have the meaning it once had… USA is just one big prison.. that’s all it is… I used to love being called an American now being called an American is a disgrace to me I deny it every chance I can. I just tell people I’m stuck here for now.. the country has gone down the drain.. I mean federal laws aren’t even same as state laws. Take weed for example. Still illegal federally and yet legal states. That’s one good example. I can keep on going if you want me to. USA is a trash can now it’s gone down hill. Also USA don’t care about families it’s all a joke then I mean state I’m in alone one the highest states for taking children from homes and a lot over stupid stuff. Then want to talk about homeless and orphans and children going foster homes and yea it’s a joke just like rest there laws.. they are hipocritical. That’s like a cop can shoot someone what’s he get slap wrist yet we do we go jail. This country is broken and has been for a very long time and it’s just getting worst. Yes I know I went a little off topic but in end it all rolls out to how screwed up system and country is.. USA is a toxic place live now and first chance I get move countries I’m taking it. I don’t consider myself an American anymore not with it being this broken…
Ok I started make comment before sex trafficking was to another comment not for this statement I wrote
Is there any way to get some accurate statistics as to what percentage of those on the registry are actually a danger to anyone else. That is the kind of statistics we need. But of coarse politicians don’t want that because they know that would pull they rug out from under there popularity scam there putting over on everyone.
Actually, if you look up recidivism rates for sex offenders on google, it shows that the majority of sex offenders are first timers. Of those first time offenders, most dont reoffend and those that do, commit a different crime. There is a small portion that commit another sexual offense. If you compare that to someone who commits murder, the rate is much higher. So the numbers are out there. It just doesn’t fit the narrative of being tough on crime or victim justice or whatever.
Security theater at its finest.
I sure am glad that I’m living in a time where we’re making America great again.
It’s not quite fake news— after all, its conventional to refer to former convicted sex offenders, nearly all of whom must register, as simply, “sex offenders.”
But it’s an insult to the intelligence of the public to suggest that these actions will in any way protect anyone from exploitation.
Children in the Philippines and elsewhere will continue to be exploited by foreigners during this travel ban. And it will be a source of national embarassment, shame, and befuddlement— as in “I don’t get it, we already passed laws preventing this, why aren’t they working?”
How soon will RTAG contact the US embassy in Manila about this silliness?
Sooo pathetic…., no words…
Outrageous that our own Uncle Sam pressures foreign countries like this.
So the United States goal is to not allow the RSO freedom to travel.
Congratulations U.S. Government for separating families and denying civil and human rights to 200 people who have served their time and want nothing more than to do what others are allowed to do see the world. My nephew is getting married in Jamaica this summer I had to tell my sister I won’t be able to attend my wife and kids will be going without me. Image how hard it was for me to explain to my nephew I’m being punished for something that happened more than a decade ago
Can an American SO already on probation be allowed to travel to the Philippines. i case for a decade ago
If someone is on probation, they must ask for permission to leave the county I believe. So leaving the country would probably not be allowed.
