FAKE GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES INTERCEPTED BY BI

PASAY, Philippines—The Bureau of Immigration (BI) intercepted three females misrepresenting themselves as government employees.

A report from the BI’s Travel Control and Enforcement Unit showed that the three unnamed females presented themselves for primary immigration inspection last July 9, stating that they are bound for Jeju Island, South Korea on board a Scoot airlines flight at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.

The trio showed travel authorities stating that they were employees of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR). A travel authority for government employees is a document that allows them to travel on official business or for personal reasons.

However, the three gave inconsistent statements about their work prompting officers to further verify their documents. They later admitted that they bought their documents from a stall in Quiapo, Manila.

BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco said that he suspects the trio were recruited to work illegally in Korea.

“During the interview, they admitted that they paid Php150,000 to a contact they met through Facebook to process their documents,” said Tansingco. “One of them mentioned talking to several agents for assistance,” he added.

All three travelers were found to be possible victims of human trafficking and illegal recruitment. Their case was referred to the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking for further investigation.

‘MISREPRESENTING’ SIGN OF DOUBTFUL INTENTION f or TRAVEL – BI

MANILA, Philippines—The Bureau of Immigration (BI) said on Monday that misrepresenting details about your identity is a sign of doubtful intention for travel.

BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco said that passengers who make up details about their travel are often flagged for misrepresentation.

“Just be truthful,” said Tansingco. “If you lie about your identity, your background, or the details of your travel, then it could be a reason for our immigration officers to doubt the legitimacy of your trip,” he stated.

Tansingco made the comment following a social media post about a passenger being prevented from boarding her flight four times.

“Initial investigation revealed that during her attempt in April, she claimed that she was employed by a large real estate company in the Philippines, even showing documents purportedly issued by said company,” said Tansingco.

However, upon verification with the company, it was confirmed that supposed certification, as well as other documents, were fake.

He added that a common modus of illegal recruiters and human traffickers is to provide fake documents to victims to make their travel seem legitimate.

“If you are traveling for legitimate purposes, then there is no reason to lie,” added Tansignco.
