00:00Express went undercover to expose a bizarre business happening outside the Philippine
00:08consulate in Dubai.
00:10Shoes being rented out to visitors who are unaware of the consulate's strict new dress
00:17code.
00:18This
00:41dress code states, please wear respectful clothing.
00:45Shorts and sleepers not allowed.
00:48So when was the dress code first implemented?
00:52Apparently, many Filipinos here are unaware of this rule.
01:22So what are we going to do now?
01:24We cannot go back?
01:25I cannot answer.
01:26This might be a problem of the consulate.
01:27I agree with you.
01:28Any option that they are giving?
01:29Because we don't know the rules.
01:30The rules.
01:31We can just go back to the people who are outside.
01:32So that they know the rules.
01:33We cannot go back.
01:34We are Filipinos.
01:35We can't go back.
01:36Do you have any extra shoes to...
01:37We will return it sometime.
01:38We are Filipinos.
01:39We are Filipinos.
01:40We are Filipinos.
01:41We are Filipinos.
01:42We are Filipinos.
01:43We are Filipinos.
01:44We are Filipinos.
01:45We are Filipinos.
01:46We are Filipinos.
01:47We are Filipinos.
01:48We are Filipinos.
01:49We are Filipinos.
01:50We are Filipinos.
01:51We need carlift.
01:52Sometimes the people want to give rent.
01:53Oh, they are giving rent?
01:54Yes.
01:55Where?
01:56Where?
01:57We are going to there, outside.
01:58Where?
02:00This one?
02:01Carthage.
02:03You can ask him.
02:04After getting a number of complaints, we went out with a camera, and here is what we saw.
02:08A thriving shoes for rent business outside a compound, run by a legal Carlift guy.
02:14Express found that several of the cabbies are involved, offering their services to other
02:20Filipinos unaware of the new rule. This man is just one of them.
02:38Philippine Consul General to Dubai Benito Valeriano told us that since these deals
02:43take place outside the consulate compound it's out of his remit and that for security reasons
02:50only those with legitimate business are allowed inside the consulate compound
02:55referring to the car lift boys. So if you're a Filipino in Dubai next time you visit your
03:00consulate just leave your flip-flops at home and put on your goody two shoes. Jai Hilatin Express
