    Of course it does, that is the point of it my Friend, it is the nearest we can get to Dual Nationality In Fact, just at this time it it seems that only 13a Holders of some years are the only people to get back into the PI. Unfortunately it seems that overseas PI Embassies are not accepting applications and I hear that there is a backlog on Applications here also, You still need an ECC to leave ( when you can) :bored:

    Certainly pleased I decided to go down the 13A route before coming here. Was a tedious process both in the UK applying and on arrival in Manila to collect it, but worth it in the long run.

    You most certainly do Andi, it is an ECC "B" obtainable at the Airport on Departure

    Desk clearly marked at the right hand end of the other immigration desks. Unless they moved it recently. I remember when it used to be at the left hand end, or was that a different departure lounge. Used to fly Qantas but an unpleasant experience with one of their air hostesses turned me completely off them so I went with Philippine Air and now for the past 5 years its Cebu Pacific.
