Well that`s a bugger isn`t it. I hope nobody tells the BI staff in Dumagguette Negros about the new dress code. The last 3 times I`ve been there I have worn shorts a vest and islanders;flip flops or thongs you might call them.

No problem for me. I don't like to show my uggly legs in public anyway  :mocking:

[Call me bubba]

is this news? yes in some ways..... its just now a "newer" policy update

 

as its been stated in past posts/topics the BI not BOI has always had a DRESS CODE.

was it enforced evenly?  cant speak on other facilities. 

2. yes it came from the FACEBOOK page of the BI.

yet should one always DEPEND on the reliability of some social media sites?

 

3. when one is attending to government transactions , one should be appropriately DRESSED, as my/yours

appearance . just like ones actions   are judged partly on that basis,\

 

4. unless one has a medical condition that he/she  can only wear FLIP FLOPS

proper Footwear should be important and ones appearance just like 1's actions can judge us all .

Just woke up? :)

 

First time I've ever quoted a facebook page on here so a bit much to say I believe everything I read on there.  That said, this page has been up a bit too long to be a fake page IMO.  Also saw a similar discussion elsewhere where the page wasn't contested.

 

A change in rules is news.

 

I don't see any mention of BOI in this thread either.

 

Enjoy your day Sir.

The software makes the 2nd consecutive letter in the title lower case. Nothing we can do.

Why is this NEWS?

its been said many many many times both in the FORUM and at the BI not the BOI

that they have a "DRESS CODE", its simple. where something thats nice. appropriate

and NO FLIP FLOPS>NO SHORT PANTS..

 your appearance & attitude before these people,is 1 of the main factors that  can determine if you stay here or ?

This was "officially" announced on the BI web site which is, unfortunately, down at the moment, as is frequently the case. Effective Oct 1. You can check when the site finally comes up. And according to the chart flip flops are now allowed.

The old "no shorts" rule was never enforced at BI Sta. Rosa or Olongapo.  I saw some really grubby expats at BI Sta. Rosa one time, and I almost told them to go home, take a shower and change!   :hystery:

 

I'm going to BI Olongapo sometime before the 18th.  I will see if they have a new sign about this.  They love their signs there!
