14 March 2005 – A representative from the DFA Regional Consular Office in Region IX examines the passport application forms of Filipino returnees from Malaysia who are at the government’s inter-agency One-Stop Processing Center in Zamboanga City.  Filipinos who returned from Malaysia during the amnesty period and who want to go back as properly documented workers are being assisted at the One-Stop Processing Center for all possible documentary requirements needed for their reemployment in Malaysia.  The Malaysian Immigration has sent 5 officials to the Zamboanga City Center and another 5 officials to the Center in Bongao, Tawi Tawi to assist in the documentation of Filipinos who are expected to return to the Philippines to process their working papers to be able to immediately return to their jobs in Malaysia.  (Ambrosio Enciso III)
