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. | | | | Thanks and regards. | | | | Thess Q.
