However, even if you have your passport on you, if you happen to not be carrying your residence card, you will be punished for "failure to bear identification". Under the revised law, there are also "the cases where a middle to long-term resident who has been issued a residence card stops living as a middle to long-term resident."
Halimbawa, ayon sa nakatakda ng bagong Immigration Control Act, hindi kailangang magdala ng pasaporte kung magdala kayo ng residence card. Ngunit, kahit mayroong pasaporte, kung hindi nagdala ng residence card, siya ay paparusahan.
