[00:00:10]Yes, good morning Joel and Wayne.

[00:00:22]Um, ano bang process po nito?

[00:00:34]Well, number one for your ground for for an application for asylum is a well-grounded fear of persecution on the basis of either political, religious, or your my opinion more or when there is a para serious danger to his life.

[00:00:51]A possibility of torture with the money money to you under the torture convention. Now for the for the process normally you file an application may one-stop shop we they they call the office the good day.

[00:01:06]I don't want to stop shopping on you agree receive application for asylum from refugees and those needing subsidiary protection or subsidiary application and then you good day will issue an application certificate.

[00:01:23]I don't know asylum application certificate. Once I receive an application certificate which will now begin to be evaluated and technically in protection will begin from the issuance of the asylum application certificate. Now once I issue your application asylum application certificate may 21 days car to to pass your narrative more because you will have to tell them to establish not through a narrative uh under oath you on on and you basis more for saying that there is a well-founded belief of persecution or that there is a serious harm or danger to your person if ever you will be returned to the country of your origin. So 21 days you deposit more documents with with all the supporting documents to the France office for the protection of refugees and stateless persons. And then once not receive the money office day on they know and there's a French law they have six months to decide on the application.

[00:02:38]Now I don't know the government nothing.

[00:02:44]You have the process of the application it's a para uh it's just a two-way para party it's it's an application between the applicant and the country where he is applying.

[00:03:04]You know the Philippine government can engage the French government through diplomatic channels by providing documents for example by supplying them with all the court records by showing to them this is not a for example this is not a political persecution this is just an ordinary criminal case for graft and corruption malversation so the Philippine government can provide all the documents to engage the French authorities and at least basis in the that they can use in the evaluation of the application for asylum.

[00:03:40]politically persecuted in Philippines So you danger to my life a present.

[00:03:48]Go ahead.

[00:03:54]application either you will be applying for refugee status refugee status if you are applying for refugee status then you will have to establish well-founded belief for for persecution and then you is you are applying for subsidiary protection. Your application for subsidiary protection you you are saying something more there is danger or serious danger of a serious harm if ever you will be returned to your country origin.

[00:04:27]or kind of protection of being a people in you As I mentioned so may 21 days from the time of the submission of the application certificate from the time that is issued to him may 21 days to submit all all his documents and evidence and then the process normally takes six months for for the office of the protection of refugees stateless stateless persons to decide attorney Ralph Casey better put I'm pending application for a red notice now saying to Paul November but nothing not just a bit tired but in the time you I think I can have a red notice but I don't know what you red notice attorney Ralph >> [clears throat] >> technically for you your application for asylum does not bar the issuance of the red notice but at the same time your red notice for once it is issued it does not also automatically prevail over the asylum application so both will be evaluated together so you may be able to put on because for what I don't know for decision on the asylum pending application for you on so we need to tell them to implement your red notice in in that particular case so may we do that the application for asylum will complicate things for example if he is already under the custody of the French authorities application for asylum and then we issue a red notice in the airport and then you red notice for a second it's just a request in the push out international warrant to the member states to arrest the person so it's just a request it's just a request you know to the member states of the Interpol to locate this person and then to provisionally arrest him and then to evaluate under their own laws and processes come in basis for come in basis for his return or you know transfer to the country that is requesting for his for his person.

[00:06:47]So the fact pending the fact that we pending application that will complicate process because they take the money from the authorities now you really turn the money into despite the money red notice because they may pending application for asylum so they also need to ensure the money come they need to evaluate first come to to be the money come you you basis of the application for asylum.

[00:07:18]Yes, technically in the impossible the money but now it will definitely delay the process and it will complicate the the matter.

[00:07:30]Okay but who do say your experience as an international law expert the money come the money come money come money come money come may my six months six months money come attorney so money money money money [laughter] public about asylum money money come under so friends the money come money come you money average time for for the evaluation of application for asylum is 138 138 days for your records for France.
