MANILA, Philippines — Following a mass crackdown on illegal and undesirable aliens, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) implemented the mass deportation of 49 South Korean fugitives who were found to be staying and working in the country.
Immigration deports 49 South Korean fugitives
Immigration Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado said on Wednesday that the move was in line with the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen law enforcement and ensure that the Philippines was not used as a sanctuary for undocumented aliens, particularly those involved in illicit operations.
“The President has made it clear: we will not allow foreigners to abuse our immigration laws or exploit our systems for illegal activities,” said Viado. “These deportations are a strong message that the Philippines will not tolerate lawlessness and that we are serious about protecting our national security.” The deportation was arranged by the BI’s deportation and implementation unit (DIU) in coordination with the South Korean Embassy, who provided logistical assistance to expedite the deportation of the 49 individuals., This news data comes from:http://aichuwei.com
The arrested fugitives were made up of 6 females and 43 males. All were summarily deported after being tagged by their government as fugitives from justice.
