Some 16 Middle East-bound Filipino workers were briefly held at an airport in Singapore last week after authorities found they were traveling with unconfirmed electronic tickets (e-tickets).
The Philippine Embassy said that before the workers’ connecting flights, they were required by their airlines to present at the check-in counter the credit card used to purchase the tickets.
The workers, however, were unable to do so as they were given only photocopies of the credit card by their agencies. Full story
