Make sure that ur name in your ticket is spelled exactly the same as ur name in in ur birth cert or driver’s lic technically Maria and Ma are not the same.
12:08 10:30 Hindi po. Sa case po namen ni jowa. Ang name nya is example Jean Matthiew Martin, so nung nagbooked po ako going to Paris, full name po yan. Pero ang ticket na binigay has only the name Jean Martin. So we went back sa counter kase nag advance na kase na baka mahold at iquestion kame sa next stop over. Sabi ng babae its ok daw no problem. And yes wala naman naging problema.
Anyone who has ever booked their airfare online knows that you have to enter the traveller name exactly as it is written on your driver license or passport, or whatever document you present as your ID. Don't blame PAL. Blame whoever booked your tickets..
What the F din Mr. Jules! Always book flights using your name exactly as it appears on your passport\. Since this has happened before, you should’ve learned from it\. You might get away with it in the Philippines, but other countries are stricter.
I encountered that w CebuPac going to Thailand. May Non-O visa ako sa passport from the Thai embassy sa Manila. Nag tagal pa sa counter dahil he asked another if, ''visa ba ito ng Thailand?'' Then the person he asked pinasa sa iba! Mga 10 minutes ganun. Di ba dapat alam na nila yun! Napaka unprofessional pa nung sa harap ng customers nagpapasahan at tinatawag yung nasa ibang counters w loud voice ala palengke style.
Ma. is the abbreviation of Maria kaya the same lang dapat yan lalo pagdating sa pangalan at least noong kapanahunan ko... Lol.. Ngayon kasi napaka hassle na ng lahat ng bagay. Yong napaka simpleng bagay pinapagulo pa.
Agree. I had to have an affidavit made to correct this. I have use Ma. My whole life but my birth certificate reads as Maria. So I have to proved I am the same person and change my passport to Maria. He’s a government official how come he doesn’t know this
Pinoy staff without common sense! Kawawang pinas. Dahil sa name complicated lahat. Pahirapan lahat. Same with other agencies and Need ng napaka daming docu. Parang mga shoenga. Takot na takot kumilos ang staff pag isang lang ID ipapakita mo. Need nila madaming IDs. Useless naman lahat yan.
10:41 and 11:44 mga emplyoyees siguro ng airline ng third world country kayo! Sarap na sarap kayong nagihirapan sa buhay. Kaya ayw niyo kag reklamo?? Hahaha
Agree ako sayo 8:09 they have no common sense mga nasa counter. Ma. Or Maria ay the same. Kaya nga may abbreviation eh. Yung againts sayo mga patay jutomjones lang mga yan. Kulang sa nutrients. 🤣😂
8:09 True! Lahat patagalan ng pila. Akala mo napaka ganda ng flood control system nila kung umasta. Haha! Akala mo ke ganda ganda ng Airport ng Pinas haha! Maghigpit kayo according sa ganda ng bansa! Daig niyo pa ang Switzerland 🇨🇠char!
again, Ma. and Maria are legally and politically and in all matters, not the same, it is never the same and it is never a common sense not knowing the difference.
It is a basic rule, as we study 1 or grade 2 to write your name repeatedly, and you will never write Ma. if your name is Maria and vice versa.
Some ID are needed to validate the persons identity, sometimes there are photos which are not clear or photos may may have aged, signature may be differently printed in some cases.
It is not useless, sometimes we also need to consider what they do and told to do, they are also workers who works to earn, where they need to follow rules.
That is why amicable talks are always the first move, calm the nerves and breathe, think before we talk, think before we hit send.
anong ignorant at mema ang sinabi ni 8:09? totoo naman sinsabi nya. palibhasa sanay kayong dalawa sa bulok na sistema ng pilipinas. try nyo lumabas ng bansa ng malaman nyo.
Bakit sa ibang tao isisi ang mali ng iba? All our documents must be consistent. Naabala na nga sila nung una inulit pa. Ngayon magagalit sya? Mambabatas or dating mambabatas si Jules di ba? Bat di nya pangunahan ang pagbalangkas ng bagong batas para ayusin yan. Makalusot sila ngayon, pano kung sa puntahang bansa eh mas strict? Kasalanan pa rin ng pal kasi pinalusot sila?
Is it lack of education or marami lang talagang hindi masyadong matalino na Pinoy? Or I think karamihan sa atin hindi nakakapagtravel kaya ang scope of awareness is very limited.
Isisi mo yan sa mga airport IO na kala mo lahat sa human trafficking mapupunta! Kahit sobra2 na proof! Madaming Filipinos who can afford to travel FYI, kung di lang epal mga naka upo soon sa airporairport. Nag iisa na bansa na young IOs sa sarilig bayan ang dahilan ng di pag travel.
Nagtaka ka pa OP, karamihan nga ng kabataan ngayon eh functionally illiterate. 1248, the issue at hand is at the check in counter, not the IO. Check in muna bago immigration. Sigurado ka bang nakabyahe ka na?
Minsan maigi na rin nangyayari mga ganito sa mga celebrities or influential and wealthy people para magawan ng solution. Ang hirap kapag ordinaryong tao lang, hindi pinapansin.
Magkaiba naman talaga ang Ma. and Maria, legal and official documents should be consistent to avoid discrepancies. Birth certificate should be the same with passport and visas. Kaya nga kailangan double check mo documents mo. Sino ba ang nagbook ng ticket nila, dapat follow mo name as reflected in your passport. This should be basic knowledge for them na frequent nagbbyahe.
True. If it says Maria in passport and they booked as Ma. Magkaiba sila. It should exactly match ano naka lagay sa passport. Hindi abbreviated Ma. If spelled out ang Maria sa passport. Standard for airline booking.
Kaya ngamay period sa "Ma." kasi shortened "Maria" sya. Sos dapat ba yung "Jr." eh "Junior" nakalagay? Or yung "Mrs." dapat "Missus" (or better yet, "Mistress")?
1246, inconsistent nga eh. Suffixes like jr and sr do not count, same with titles mrs, dr, mr, ms etc. Isa sa mga dahilan dyan ay common names. Pano kung may kapangalan ka na may hold departue order? Iisa-isahin ang letra ng pangalan mo tapos date of birth para tingnan kung hindi ikaw yun.
Well, magkaiba naman talaga yung Ma. and Maria. Kung ano yung nasa sa passport, yun din dapat yung nasa ticket. And second time na pala nangyari eh di dapat natuto na kayo the first time.
Hello, Ledesma ang asawa mo amg TAMAD KUMPLETUHIN ANG PANGALAN NYA! TAPOS ME PA ONE AND THE SAME KA PANG NALALAMAN. SIMPLE INSTRUCTION, HINDI NYO MAGAWA???@!!
Maka judge agad. I work in DXB for the EK group, and we handle multiple airlines. And yes, MA. and MARIA are two different names when matched letter by letter. It's a simple and basic rule in airline reservations: Always book your ticket exactly as your name appears on your passport.
They are not considered the same. I had to execute an affidavit to confirm that I am the same person, because of the initial various uses of Ma. and Maria on different occasions. As most know, in the past, our parents had their own ways of doing things inconsistently. But now, with more people travelling and the strictness that comes with ensuring everyone is safe, people are under more scrutiny. Therefore, names should be the same in tickets as per all official and legal documents. The affidavit is there should there is need to submit old documents with the "other" names used, whether Ma, Maria, nicknames and even screen names for actors.
When you checkin sa airport, your ticket name is submitted to authorities. If it does not have exact letters matching the passport you will be denied entry. Checkin counters are actually protecting you arriving and getting refused entry to your destination. It is not their job to fix your ticket. You should fix your ticket name to where you bought your ticket (example expedia)
When you checkin at airport, your ticket name is submitted to authorities. If it doesn't match the exact letters of your passport name, the authorities send a denied message to checkin staff. As a traveller it is your responsibility to use your exact passport name. When you arrive at airport and have issues, you call your booking agent to fix the ticket for you. The airline is doing you a favour if they do it for you, be thankful
such a weird thing din kasi sa name na maria, tinamad pa at hindi binuo na lang haha not referring to this instance, i always just have been amused sa concept ng Ma. as a name.
Honestly, it is really in the Philippines where they put so much issue on names. As long as you have proofs like IDs then you should be good. Never had a problem in the US when it comes to my name, they dont care.
Sorry, but Ma. & Maria are not the same, maaring sa pagpronounce/sounds the same but sa documents including flight tickets it is considered as magkaiba. Experience ko yan with my own name, that I have to execute yung “one & the same person” na naka-notaryo pa. Kaya dapat next time make sure ang name sa ticket is same spelling as per your passport. Otherwise, magkakaproblema talaga.
Baka Gen Z ang ground staff, Assunta De Rossi has been out of the limelight for a while. I have staff who didnt know who Bobby Andrews and Angelu De Leon were. Nakakaloka.
also, i don't think first time nila nag fly. obviously many times na and they didn't have this problem before ibig sabihin pinagbigyan sila many times na before. it differs sa bawat staff. pero the fact na inaccept before meaning pwede naman talaga dahil same lang ang Ma. and Maria. meron pa ba ibang meaning ang Ma.? nirerequire ba na pag Jr dapat Junior?
Not everyone are into showbiz dahlings. Lalo pa ngayon na sa totoo lang, wala nang interesting sa showbiz dahil left and right na mga social media, tiktok, at mga AI dramas.
Magkaiba talaga iyan. Kung iyung sa kaibigan ko nga nung nagtravel kami pinuna pa iyung walang period sa JR sa ticket tapos sa passport meron. Iyan pa kaya?
Because abbreviation is also a word and it is real. We do abbreviate even the address names its common sense but in this instance whoever that was either dont have one or dont want to use it. ID someone to determine identification that that is actually the same person, thats why theres photo, and obviously Ma. Is a abbrev of Maria.
Sorry but mali sila dito mag rant.maria and Ma magkaiba.kung ano nakalagay sa passporr as legal documents ganun din dapat sa ticket mo.pero pwede naman pakiusapan.
Though the Ma. With the dot is obviously an abbreviation of Maria. So can use some common sense din, like if my street name has a word Drive, doesnt mean i cant use Dr wich i do all the time filling up even the most important docs let alone flight details or hotel bookings- never once i was hassled or asked. Its pretty common to use abbrev so dont know whats the big deal.
I mean, sana rin nag-match yung names, pero since andiyan na, pwede naman sigurong i-check using other identifiers like DOB.
Sa Pilipinas talaga, minsan pinapakomplika pa yung mga bagay. Naalala ko nung Manila to Vancouver flight namin, natagalan kami sa check-in kasi ayaw pumayag nung PAL staff sa counter na dalhin namin yung disassembled CPU ng husband ko. As if hindi namin niresearch beforehand kung allowed ba yun.
Eventually, pinayagan din kami, pero tinakot pa kami na bahala raw kami pagdating sa Canada maco-confiscate daw. Eh pagdating namin sa Canada, hindi nga pinansin sa customs. Wala namang naging issue at all. 😅
They have the same pronunciation but they are different in terms of identification. PAL was just doing their job. It was her fault. She bought the ticket. Why would you spell out your name on the ticket differently from your ID or passport or any pertinent docs.
Eh ano ba talaga ang nasa passport kasi? Let's make everyone else's life easy by getting better at the game Spot the Difference before clicking 'pay'. It is not your neck on the line when there are audits done but these lowly groundstaff just doing their job. I know, annoying, right? Not an airline worker here but I think this is a very entitled call-out too, if only passengers also did their due diligence.
Minsan kasi hndi nag iisip tong nasa PaL counter. Pauwi na kami w our kids. Katabi ko si mister. Hiningan kami ng dswd clearances para sa mga bata. Mga anak namin yan pareho ni Mister tapos tinanong ano purpose ng travel pa US. He is holding all US passports. Eh obvious na uuwi na kami. Bakit hndi na lang muna check ang documents bago magtanong ng kung ano ano.
My first name is Maria, I type that in FULL para walang aberya. Dapat same sa passport para clear and consistent. Pag ordinaryong citizen ka makaka-call out ka dyan sa Ma. vs Maria. E kayo kilala at in power, kaya nyong mag reklamo ng ganyan kahit walang naman sa lugar..
Had the same trouble myself I have use ma. since elementary but my birth certificate says maria after all the problems I had I finally had enough and changed everything from bank records to passport etc now I never use ma. anymore to avoid problems
If there is anyone complicating things, it is the one who booked the ticket. Her legal name is Ma. Assunta, then why did she book it as MARIA ASSUNTA??? Pinahaba mo pa kasi! And yes, Pinoys are really doomed because even a lawmaker doesn’t know this. Or maybe he knows but still ranted because our law inconvenienced him???
Yan ang napapala ng mga tamad isulat ang buong pangalan, dinadaan na lang sa shortcut Sisihin pa mga empleyado na ginagawa lang naman trabaho nila. Paano pa kaya kung computer o AI pa mag spell check, knowing na systematic ang AI
Back in the 70s or even up to early 90s that was not an issue but after, it's now considered not the same. I also used Ma in most of my other IDs but my passport it's spelled out, because passport is based on birth certificate I had to make an Affidavit of One and the same Person because the banks questioned my ID with Ma. Then slowly I started changing all my IDs to Maria. I can't believe this is his first time to encounter this issue.
same problem here.. indeed its simple and common sense, but idk some like to complicate things, ewan ko ba if nagtatangahan or absent nung tinuro abbreviations.
Katamaran, bat di na lang kinumpleto Maria kung ano yung nasa passport. Magkaiba yun Ma. at Maria. Iba yung pag title na Mrs. Mr. or common name like Jr.
Basta hindi ka na ka red alert wala poblema kahit wala yung second name mo. Pag scan lang ng passport mo labas lahat ng travel history mo at kung may suspected activities ka.
Hindi ba pwedeng tawagan na lang directly yung customer service hotline ng airline to change the name when it happened? Tapos na yung incident eh. You learned your lesson. Bakit mo pa stressin uli sarili mo and rant on social media sa bagay na ikaw naman ang may kasalanan? Ito namang Assunta, tatlong letters na lang idadagdag tinamad pa! Like girl!
Lawmaker pa naman tapos di alam na magkaiba ang Ma at Maria! And mind you, 2nd time na ito so nasabihan na sila nun palang pero dahil feeling entitled sya kaya inulit the 2nd time haha! Kala nya ata makukuha nya simpatya ng mga tao
Filipino way..lol.. it really does amuse me how we like to complicate simple things...even at the grocery stores or restaurants.

ReplyDeleteI had to make an Affidavit of One and the same Person because the banks questioned my ID with Ma. Then slowly I started changing all my IDs to Maria. I can't believe this is his first time to encounter this issue.
same problem here.. indeed its simple and common sense, but idk some like to complicate things, ewan ko ba if nagtatangahan or absent nung tinuro abbreviations.
ReplyDeleteKatamaran, bat di na lang kinumpleto Maria kung ano yung nasa passport. Magkaiba yun Ma. at Maria. Iba yung pag title na Mrs. Mr. or common name like Jr.
ReplyDeleteIt says in the instructions to use the name that appears on your passport.
ReplyDeleteBasta hindi ka na ka red alert wala poblema kahit wala yung second name mo. Pag scan lang ng passport mo labas lahat ng travel history mo at kung may suspected activities ka.
ReplyDeleteHindi ba pwedeng tawagan na lang directly yung customer service hotline ng airline to change the name when it happened? Tapos na yung incident eh. You learned your lesson. Bakit mo pa stressin uli sarili mo and rant on social media sa bagay na ikaw naman ang may kasalanan? Ito namang Assunta, tatlong letters na lang idadagdag tinamad pa! Like girl!
ReplyDelete2nd time na pala, eh ba di pa kinorect? Di pa natuto. Magkaiba talaga, kung ano nasa passport, yun ang susundin.
ReplyDeleteLawmaker pa naman tapos di alam na magkaiba ang Ma at Maria! And mind you, 2nd time na ito so nasabihan na sila nun palang pero dahil feeling entitled sya kaya inulit the 2nd time haha! Kala nya ata makukuha nya simpatya ng mga tao
