Ph Immigration Officer - Rude
I hope to get your opinion or if you encountered a similar case.
I just got back from Vietnam and lined-up for our local immigration. I’m with my pregnant wife, daughter, and mother.
So, we did not use the e-gates and lined up at the booths with Immigration Officers. The only options were Diplomatic and OFW and since we were neither I inquired at the Diplomatic booth and to my surprise the IO answered rudely saying “actually sa kabila pero since andito na kayo at walang pila okay nalang” then proceeded to say rudely “paki bilis and passports”.
I was told by my wife that I shouldn’t have made comments on the IO’s action or have any form of confrontation in fear that they can put tags or comments on your profile and you may get flagged the next time you fly but I can’t swallow that I am being treated this way in my own country by my own people.
This is the first time I’ve experienced this across the multiple local and international flights as seen in my passport.
Are we all just hostage of the system? Always fearing that IOs can just put a flag on us and we can’t do anything about their attitudes. 😓
