(Manila)
– A Bureau of Immigration (BI) official assigned at the Ninoy Aquino
International Airport (NAIA) has been accused of conniving with a syndicate for
departure of ten to twenty “tourist workers” daily. Rona May Villanueva is a
member of the BI’s travel control enforcement unit. She was relieved of her
post after her immediate supervisor discovered that four improperly documented
passengers were allowed to slip through supposed strict monitoring of Filipinos
posing as tourists but who had intentions to work abroad. “Villanueva was
transferred to the BI main office in Manila pending the filing of
administrative and criminal charges” the article reads.
