Netizen submission:
This year, the Philippines suddenly enforced the 9g visa processing, stating that anyone who didn't comply would have to resign. With no other choice, I had to apply for it. After fingerprinting, news broke out about the potential shutdown of the gambling industry, leading to a downgrade of the processed 9g visa. Surprisingly, after paying for the downgrade, they returned my passport saying they wouldn't process it without giving any reason.
Communication in English was unclear; they simply said they wouldn't process it and wouldn't refund the money. The company isn't corrupt, it's the property management that's extremely corrupt, really damn corrupt, and it seems they might target other companies next.
PS: They know you're trying to leave, who else would they exploit?
