PR-078-2015
Website ofwtoday.com not authorized
to publish “Passports for Release”
(Riyadh, 1 June 2015) – The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia wishes to inform the Filipino community in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that a certain website, www.ofwtoday.com, whose logo appears below, has embedded the Embassy’s “Passport for Release” search system in its website, without any authority coming from the Embassy or Philippine government authorities.
The website has also been publishing misleading information by providing an incorrect telephone number registered under a private individual, which supposedly belongs to the Philippine Embassy:
01-482-3818 (Instead of 01-482-3816)
The “Passports for Release” search system is published by the Philippine Embassy only on its website at, www.riyadhpe.dfa.gov.ph.
The Filipino community is reminded to be more vigilant in accessing websites that purport to provide certain “services” that are otherwise provided by the Philippine Embassy and to access only the Philippine Embassy’s website for official information, advisories, and transactions. (END)
