00:00Immigration Commissioner Norman Tancinco was removed from his position after the President approved the recommendation of the Justice Secretary.
00:10He did not issue an official notice and he only learned in the media that he was removed.
00:17Ian Cruz was arrested.
00:22In the media, Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulia announced that President Bongbong Marcos has agreed
00:28to remove Immigration Commissioner Norman Tancinco from his position.
00:32According to Remulia, he recommended him to the President because he was not happy with Tancinco's work.
00:38Just a week ago, Remulia said that he is not talking to Tancinco anymore.
00:43Especially on August 15, Tancinco already knew that Ms. Mbantarlak Mayor Alice Gu is no longer in the country.
00:49But he only issued this notice to the DOJ on August 20.
00:52He will be replaced. If I were him, I would resign already. He will resign.
00:57Regarding the issue of Gu's removal, Remulia said that they had a lot of problems,
01:02such as the issuance of work visas that he already approved several times, but Tancinco did not do anything.
01:08The new secretary of the Presidential Communication Office, Cesar Chavez, signed an approval by the President to dismiss Tancinco.
01:17He said that Gu's departure from the country has something to do with it.
01:21The President's decision is based on Remulia's recommendation.
01:25Yes, the President has approved the dismissal of the current B.I. Commissioner. Yes, that is confirmed.
01:32In the Senate hearing, Gu met with Pogo earlier.
01:36Tancinco was asked if he already knew that he is no longer in the position.
01:41Commissioner, the news from Secretary Remulia, your boss, that you were replaced, is this correct?
01:50I received it through the postal media, but I have not yet been officially informed, Your Honor.
01:58You were not yet informed that you are being relieved or being transferred to another post.
02:05Not yet, Your Honor.
02:06But are you aware that there is a certain move to replace you as the head of the Bureau of Immigration?
02:14Through the media, Your Honor.
02:16We tried to ask Tancinco about this.
02:19Is the dismissal of you approved by the President? What can you say about that sir?
02:26I'm sorry.
