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 plans 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.
