BUREAU of Immigration (BI) officers recently stopped the departure of a female victim of fake departure stamp scheme at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco, the victim, whose name was withheld in compliance with Anti-Trafficking Laws, was supposed to board a Cathay Pacific flight to Netherlands at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 but failed to slip past the BI’s primary inspection.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThe female victim attempted to evade the primary inspection and pretended that she had already completed the immigration departure procedures. She claimed to be a tourist visiting her alleged boyfriend in Netherlands,\u201d said Tansingco.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tansingco said that the primary inspector referred the victim for additional checks after finding a suspicious departure stamp on her passport.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The victim admitted that she met her supposed contact at a fastfood restaurant inside NAIA Terminal 3, who took the victim\u2019s passport and boarding pass, then returned them with counterfeit stamps.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The female victim disclosed that the traffickers demanded a fee of P160,000 for the transaction before releasing her travel documents.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n After forensic analysis under the BI\u2019s forensic documents laboratory, they were able to confirm that the stamp presented was counterfeit.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cSince they couldn’t offer valid documents for overseas employment, these traffickers employed a risky strategy. However, our officers are always vigilant, ensuring that no passenger gets through the BI counters without being detected,\u201d he bared.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tansingco revealed that this is the second case of fake stamp, which they suspect was done by the same syndicate.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The victim was turned over to the custody of the Inter-Agency Against Trafficking (IACAT) for assistance in filing cases against their recruiters.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BUREAU of Immigration (BI) officers recently stopped the departure of a female victim of fake departure stamp scheme at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7601"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7601"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7601\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7603,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7601\/revisions\/7603"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7602"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7601"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7601"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7601"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
