From Manila, Philippines, the Bureau of Immigration (BI) is submitting a report to the Department of Justice (DOJ) to initiate a probe into the sources of illegally acquired Philippine documents by foreign nationals. Commissioner Joel Viado expressed alarm over the continuous proliferation of such documents being used by illegal aliens in business dealings in the country.
The report said that the illegal use of Philippine documents is a national security issue that must be addressed at its roots. The BI was alerted anew after the arrest of three more suspected fake Filipinos in separate operations in Pampanga. Among them was a male Chinese national identified as Lin Yi, 35, who was arrested at a business establishment along Pandan Road in Angeles City on July 31.
The report also stated that the BI received a copy of Lin’s Philippine birth certificate, which was suspiciously registered late, a Philippine identification card, and an official receipt for a Philippine driver’s license. The foreigner was also found in possession of a working visa valid until 2027 under his Chinese identity.
Meanwhile, Yan Yize, 30, was arrested at a residential unit in Malabanias, Angeles City, while Wang Jiangyi, 55, was nabbed in Barangay Panipuan in Mexico. Both are using Philippine identities and allegedly possessed late-registered Philippine birth certificates, tax identification numbers, and business registrations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The foreign nationals will remain under BI custody pending deportation proceedings.
