Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Jesus Crispin C. Remulla urged foreigner to travel to the Philippines after the government launched last July 16 the Cruise Visa Waiver program that streamlines and simplifies visa processing for cruise visitors.
In a statement issued on Friday, July 19, Remulla said: “We are inviting our friends across the globe to come visit the Philippines and see for themselves the wonders of our nature, people and culture, then tell the whole world about it."
The Cruise Visa Waiver program was launched by the Department of Tourism (DOT) and the Bureau of Immigration (BI) which is under the DOJ.
“The justice system is never a hindrance for progress and should always be made accessible, and at times flexible, to promote economic growth,” said Remulla.
“There is no doubt that this project will lead to greater heights in the future, not just making the Philippines a top cruise destination but making our country the Top Tourist Destination in the world,” he added.
