The classic line: "A picture paints a thousand words." Why does Mr Lucenario have to deny that such an event (MOA signing) took place? Did he forget that there were photographs taken of the event and hello?! the banner/backdrop spells out what the event is all about.

ibig sabihin nito bago pa man ang issue ng NBN-ZTE deal at magpalitan ng salita ang mga makukulay na tauhan na bumubuo nito, may existing na kaso/isyu na ng BOT project na ini-scam ng mga taga-gobyerno.Ibig sabihin ay totoo ang tinuran ni Jun Lozada na na "dysfunctional procurement system."

THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. LET THE FILIPINO PEOPLE BE AWARE OF THE FACTS AND THE REAL DEAL ABOUT THE SCRAPPED PASSPORT PROJECT UNDER THE B.O.T. CONTRACT AND WHAT THE DFA REPLACED IT WITH.

is the machine readable passport and the e-passport different from each other?

This goes to show that prior to the NBN ZTE broadband scandal, there exists a scam in the amount of Php 2-billion pesos courtesy of the DFA and the BSP. Is there any government official who can be trusted ????

– bakit nag-deny? Pwede ba naman yun e ayan nga, kitang-kita sa picture ang kaganapan na dinaluhan pa ng mga liders ng dfa at bsp. With matching madami pang mga witnesses. Present din si mr. lucenario diba.

To all the commenters: i saw this media release from the DFA's website. Looks like okay naman ang outcome ng pinangpalit ng DFA and BSP na passport program. Eto po yung link: http://www.dfa.gov.ph/news/pr/pr2008/apr/pr227.htm

PHILIPPINE MACHINE-READABLE PASSPORTS ARE TAMPER-RESISTANT AND FULLY ICAO-COMPLIANT
21 April 2008 - The Department of Foreign Affairs assures our people that the new machine-readable passports (MRPs) being issued by the department are tamper-resistant and fully compliant with the standards and requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

The Philippine MRPs incorporate security features specifically designed to discourage tampering and improve the integrity of the passport system. Otherwise, tampered or forged passports will be rejected at airports, ports of entries of foreign countries.

The security features include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. watermarked paper and colored fibers,
2. ultraviolet (UV) - reactive inks,
3. a combination of security prints, such as fine lines with modulation, guilloche design, art screen and dash effects and microtext,
4. laser-perforated alpha-numeric serial numbers,
5. security laminates that are ultra thin with strong adhesion to prevent chemical, thermal or mechanical forgery,
6. high-level origination and high image definition,
7. high security animated and color switch optical imaging, and
8. nano imaging.

All relevant Philippine government agencies particularly the Bureau of Immigration, as well as all governments of the world, have been fully apprised of the features of the new Philippine passport and are thus able to detect forgeries and discrepancies which is highly prejudicial to Filipinos using said forged/fake passports.

Immigration officers are equipped with special tools for ascertaining the genuineness of passports.

The new MRP system includes the development and maintenance of a secure passport database to aid in rooting out identity theft and raising the integrity of the country's passport system.

Since the launch of the new machine-readable passports in June last year, the department has not had any verified case of fraud successfully foisted against the Philippine MRP.

The department is constantly evaluating and undertaking measures to improve the security of the passport system. END
