Generally, yes, makukuha mo dapat ang passport mo. Una, iyo ang passport na iyon. It is your primary identifying document. Pangalawa, nagbayad ka ng mga charges ng agency pero hindi nila tinupad ang inyong kasunduan na ikaw ay i-deploy. So, breach na iyon ng placement contract ninyo.
May kopya ka ba noong mga papeles mo?

Ang pinaka-mahusay, pumunta ka sa Public Attorney's Office (PAO). Hilingin mo na ikaw ay igawa ng demand letter para ibalik sa iyo ang iyong passport, medical certificate, x-ray plates, etc. kasi, binayaran mo naman iyon. At, dahil sa hindi ka napa-alis for abroad, puede mo din hingin na ibalik sa iyo ang ibinayad mo na 1/4 ng placement fee mo.

Ipa-xerox mo ang mga resibo mo noong iyong binayaran. Lahat ng papeles mo ay iyong ipa-xerox. Tapos, ilakip ninyo ito sa demand letter. Kapag natanggap na ito noong agency, dapat ay umaksiyon sila. Kung hindi sila aaksiyon, kailangan bumalik ka ulit sa PAO at iyong hilingin na tulungan ka nilang mag-reklamo sa POEA or sa NLRC bilang isang money claim.

Good luck sa iyo. Sorry at medyo late ang response ko sa post mo. Medyo masama ang pakiramdam ko of late. Thanks.
