    I thought they had stopped doing that one when we all had to do the ARP ( Alien Registration Programme) If my memory serves me right it was a Directive of the President to find out where we all were BUT now I do remember that every household was supposed to fill in these forms on the Change over of Captains to get the Barangay books in order, Can't really advise what you should do but if it worries you that much, take a trip to the Barangay Hall and enquire as it may just be a Mini Census

    I really don't trust a country known for wide spread identity fraud and corruption to have all my information sitting in an unsecured cabinet in an unsecured office. I will straight up lie on any such form. I don't care about baragay upgrades or details, I'll pick a barangay that fits my needs and move when it no longer does. Foreigners are not supposed to have a say in such things anyways.

    I think the only times we have been approached by barangay people is for Fiesta donations and certain construction projects involving the same. There are definitely barangay matters that we can vote on when it involves Fiesta or other activities, such as construction of basketball courts (example only), by virtue of power of the purse. If I have no say you get no money from this foreigner. As far as bootleg “immigration” forms for so-called transients from the the barangays and improper demands for passport identification, I agree with Wrye 100%. I never give my passport to anybody here except immigration or SRRV personnel. There are several Philippine id’s that are available for other purposes. If a cop here thinks he works for BI and demands your passport, how do you know he is not corrupt and copying the information? So, Zby all means, for passport/immigration matters, offer to cooperate through the BI. If you have an SRRV, I would report any such unusual requests, including the barangay form for “transients”, to the PRA and see how that goes, affecting the publicity of a place that markets this as a great place to retire.
