00:00Another new modus has been opened by the Bureau of Immigration
00:04for the illegal Filipinos who are leaving the country.
00:07This is what Louisa Erizpe wrote.
00:11If ever, the illegal recruiter's strategy to leave the country is to infiltrate the government.
00:18Another new modus has been opened by the Bureau of Immigration
00:23and this time, it is the issue of immigration stamps for passports.
00:27The Bureau of Immigration said that they saw this modus in four Filipinos.
00:33One of them was supposed to go to Hong Kong and the other three were supposed to go to Singapore.
00:38They were able to get a pecking stamp from the illegal recruiter in exchange for money.
00:43From the report we got, the amount is around P120,000.
00:49Maybe the recruiter is just looking for a way to make money.
00:53If he makes money, he's happy. If not, then nothing.
00:55Even if they say that their passports have been secured,
01:00they are still checking it in our system.
01:02That's where they get caught.
01:03So this is not a scheme that can be easily passed
01:09just because their passports are secured.
01:12What's more alarming, the Bureau of Immigration said,
01:15one of the victims was only mentioned on Facebook.
01:18He was caught by the Bureau of Immigration and they were surprised
01:22that the stamp was a pecking stamp that was placed on his passport.
01:25But the BI explained that the pecking stamp cannot be passed on to them.
01:30There are security features on our stamp that are not seen under the naked eye.
01:36There are also a lot of other security features that only immigration personnel know about.
01:41That's why our immigration officer thinks that the inconsistencies can be seen.
01:46The BI said, don't just believe the online posts that have jobs.
01:52It's better if you go through the right process to work in another country.
01:57Meanwhile, if there's someone who illegally wants to leave the country,
02:01the BI also caught four Vietnamese who illegally entered the Philippines.
02:08The BI said that they were caught
02:11who used to overstay and work in the Philippines without a 9G visa.
02:15That's why they didn't allow them to enter the country.
02:18The BI also believes that there are a lot of people who will enter the Philippines
02:22as tourists, but they will turn out to be illegal aliens
02:26because the holiday season is slowly starting.
02:29We are very strict with those who come.
02:31When we see that there is evidence that this person has malicious intent
02:36in coming to the Philippines, we exclude them.
02:41We don't allow them to enter.
02:43If the BI is right, those who illegally work will not be able to enter or leave the country.
