My, hasn't this comm been inactive?
Some of you may already know this, but there was a travel-ban-scare a while back because of a certain watchlist o'er at immigration. Well, this has been cleared up:
------------------------------
Dear Fellow Alumnus:
At present, only alumni or scholars belonging to PSHS-Main Campus Batches 2006-2010 are required to secure a travel clearance from the Office of the Director (Main Campus) for planned trips outside of the country. We will inform the alumni ahead of time should this directive change due to a PSHS System Board of Trustees resolution.
Thank you for your continued support of the PSHS.
Jessamyn O. Yazon
OIC, PSHS Main Campus
------------------------------
There's no official ban for alumni of PSHS - Diliman YET. However, they are requesting their alumni - no batch limit-- to inquire them of their whereabouts. I.e. to submit any proof of graduating from a science and technology course, provide contact details and other data for tracking purposes only. Should they pursue the ban in the future, those who have submitted their details to the PSHS Director's Office will automatically be cleared from the list of the ban.

Also,
this. If you can't tell what that is, no cookies for you :D

Update (17 March):
"...nagpunta kami...sa pisay last week para tanungin yung sa travel ban tapos pinakuha parin kami ng permit sa office ni dr. yazon. madali lang naman po. bali magfi-fill up lang ng form tapos magdala kayo ng photocopy ng proof na science course parin daw ang kinukuha niyo. pwede daw yung photocopy ng form 5 sa mga taga-up..."

Update (21 March):
hi all
the bot meeting has just finished this 6pm
the bot has decided and will be coming out with a resolution suspending
indefinitely the watch list process for all campuses pending clear policy
guidelines coming from the bot. the directors concerned will also be
directed to communicate with the bid to negate all prior watch list requests
i think the guidelines that will be formulated will be very liberal based on
the mood of the bot
all of the other trustees were actually surprised why such a watch list
process came about
congratulations to all of us, specially to the smc alumni who brought this
issue out
regards to all
