Assistant Secretary Frank Cimafranca of the Office of Consular Affairs said the 62,450 more slots were made available after the DFA increased the consular offices’ appointment quotas, while the remaining 31,900 came from the cleaning up of bogus appointments created by unscrupulous individuals.

Cimafranca said opening additional appointment slots has been complemented by an increase in personnel in charge of processing documents.
He noted the increase in personnel has led to the moving up to earlier dates of about 900 appointments, and has resulted in the reduction of suspended applications under investigation -- from 33,000 on Aug. 2 to zero as of Aug. 18.
To prevent the unnecessary use of slots, Cimafranca issued a reminder that senior citizens, persons with disabilities, solo parents, pregnant women and minors (seven years old and below) may just walk in without prior appointment with the DFA when renewing or applying for passports. (PNA)

Citizens lamented the difficulty of booking an appointment on the department’s online system which was blamed on alleged fixers and employees of DFA.
In early January, netizens shared on social media the call for DFA to fix its passport appointment system after their website showed it was fully booked until March.
Some alleged ‘syndicates’ were said to hoard passport appointment schedules then sell them at high-prices to applicants who badly needed to get their passports. Prices could soar for as high as Php7,000.
Meanwhile, DFA Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano denied the allegations that there is a syndicate coordinating with its employees. He said that it’s impossible for travel agencies to sell appointment slots because DFA has already blacklisted them from getting slots.
The agency only open slots every three months to accommodate applicants while ensuring the security of the website.
