Subject: TRAVEL ADVISORY FROM AMERICAN EMBASSY MANILA
Please share this with your friends and relatives. Customs officials are
also looking into fake bags like Louis Vitton, Coach, etc.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Please be informed of the recent travel advisory to the United States |
| |
| I thank Tarde for this piece of information. However, not only pirated |
| VCD/DVD are on the hot list. Please be informed that the American |
| Association of Publishers (AAP) has also alerted the American customs |
| officers to check out for pirated books. This information was given to |
| me by Patricia Judd of the AAP. |
| Please warn all nursing graduates who plan to take the NCLEX and CGF |
| exams in the states not to bring in these pirated books because there |
| will be a penalty of automatic deportation as violation of intelectual |
| property rights. |
| |
| If you know anyone going from the Philippines and coming back to the |
| USA with "pasalubong and padalas", please read this important enclosed |
| advisory from the American Embassy in Manila. Please share with your |
| friends. |
| Just a friendly reminder: if you have plans of going to the U.S.,please|
| take precautionary measures on all "padalas" especially those |
| containing fake/pirated compact discs/DVDs. US Embassy employees have |
| been given an advisory that "as US Gov't employees, we should abide by |
| the U.S. laws,including Intellectual Property Rights (anti-piracy) |
| laws. As an |
| additional incentive,the Consular Section recently received a report |
| that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) searched the bag of a |
| Filipino entering the U.S. on NW 72 in Detroit. During the search, |
| 70-80 compact discs,30-40 empty DVD jackets and 10-20 DVDs were found. |
| Since the travelers were not American Citizens, their visas were |
| canceled and they returned to the Philippines. If they had been |
| Americans, they could have been subject to arrest and criminal |
| prosecution in addition t o civil fines and penalties." |
| |
| Please remember even ONE pirated item can jeopardize your trip. Also, |
| the fingerprinting system has successfully been instituted in all port |
| of entries. I suggest you bring extra identification cards in addition |
| to your passport to faciliate your entry in the US Immigration.I hope |
| this is helpful to you. |
| |
| Thanks and regards. |
