The Bureau of Immigration (BI) chief Siegfred Mison
on Friday issued strict guidelines designed to deter the exodus of undocumented
Overseas Foreign Workers (OFWs) by making the said blanket requirement for all
who travel as tourists. From now on, no tourist will be allowed to leave
the country unless he can show proof of financial capability to travel, proof
of work and financial support from benefactors.
Mison appealed to Filipino travelers for
understanding as they would be inconvenienced by the new procedure aimed at
protecting Filipinos from being victims of human traffickers.
Presently, more than 40 suspected illegal
workers disguised as tourists are offloaded daily at the Ninoy Aquino Internal
Airport (NAIA).
He said the bureau adopted the policy to fight
the nefarious activities of human trafficking syndicates.
Behind the seemingly anti trafficking aims claimed, this new directive surely will affect real tourists and Filipino pensioners with permanent residency status abroad. This may be another ploy by the Philippine government to ensure that more remittances will be collected.
No, BI Chief Mison! our patience is running thinner and thinner by now. It is you who should understand the people.
