Biyernes ng umaga sa aking radio program ‘‘Imbestigasyon ng BAHALA SI TULFO’’ sa DZME naiparating ko na sa tanggapan ni DFA Assistant Secretary ESTRELLA A. BERENGUEL ang reklamong bulok na proseso ng DFA Davao.
Laking gulat ng kanilang tanggapan at hindi makapaniwala. Agad silang nangakong aaksiyunan ang reklamong ito. At narito ang kanilang kasagutan.
Bukas ang kolum na ito sa lahat ng mga kababayan natin sa Mindanao upang maiparating ang ano pa mang reklamo laban sa DFA Davao.
Hindi namin titigilan ang DFA Davao hangga’t hindi nila binago ang inirereklamong sistema sa passport application.
