The Department of Justice (DOJ) has put on hold the revised travel guidelines for Filipinos leaving the country after the

new requirements, initiated by the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking , drew strong criticism from lawmakers.

“The revisions were not intended to burden the general public but rather to enhance the overall experience of departing passengers,” he said. “We assure the public that the revised guidelines aim to strike a balance between national security and the facilitation of smooth and efficient travel,” he said.

They are also required to show basic travel documents, a passport, valid at least six months from the date of departure, an appropriate valid visa , a boarding pass, and a confirmed return or round trip ticket, when necessary. The passenger may only be allowed to leave after sufficiently establishing his or her declared purpose of travel.

Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva said the suspension of the travel guidelines showed that the government listens.
