Modern? but not effective.
I recently arrived from a trip to bangkok last week in NAIA terminal 3 where I was surprised when I saw these new immigration machines. Di ko updated sa mga news ng NAIA so I didn’t expect our immigration to finally be modern just like other SEA countries.
Of course with my curiosity, I lined up for it instead of the traditional immigration line. (The ones handled by immigration officers) But as I lined up, I noticed a good amount of people struggling with the machine. One couldn’t get their passport to be read, and one wasn’t tall enough for their face to be scanned. As people were struggling, I noticed that the traditional immigration line was moving way faster and note that it had around 30-40 people while each machine only around 8 people in line.
After a good 10 minutes of people trying their best to get the machine to work, it was finally my turn to try the machine, and of course it didnt work. The passport was recognized but my ETravel was not found, which a lot of the other people there were struggling with as well. After 2 minutes of attempting, I gave up and went back to the traditional immigration.
Something that was supposed to be a milestone is unfortunately just a hassle🫠 hays kaya mo yan NAIA
