That you got a bulikbayan stamp in Sept when we were denied in Aug. does prove that it is still working, But inconsistantly. When we returned in the end of aug I posted on this site about this [edit] others posted that they had had problems in getting the stamp as well. I don't want to mis quote them so the archieves should be checked. I got a lot of good information from this group that helped on that trip so in the spirit of sharing information I am sharing one family's experience. Greetings from Ca. Art B

We received a Balikbayan Visa on September 26, 2007 when we visited
there and an exit stamp on November 14, 2007. So I think the program
is still working.

balikbayan stamp for us she was told that there would be no more
Balikbayan program. It was no big deal for us since we were only
staying 25 day and got an extention but we wanted to test the system
to see if we could get the stamp for future trips.. But I can see
where it would be a big deal to others. It would be nice to get the
official word on this. We arrive in manila in Aug of 2007.. Art B
