MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has banned from entering the country an American accused of maltreating and abusing his Filipino wife.
In a statement, Commissioner Marcelino Libanan said on Sunday he issued an order placing Timothy Kent Boggess, 42, in the immigration blacklist of undesirable aliens.
The blacklist order was issued at the request of the Department of Foreign Affairs, which informed the bureau about the complaint that Boggess’ wife filed against him.
Libanan said Boggess, a resident of Florissant, Missouri, should be banned from re-entering the country to prevent him from victimizing other Filipino women.
In her affidavit, the victim requested that her husband be banned for causing her physical and emotional abuse.
She also said her estranged husband has been hooked on drugs and pornography and that he cheated on her by having an affair with another woman after they got married.
A copy of an offense report from the Florissant police department, which the victim submitted, showed that her husband allegedly assaulted her at their home on November 23, 2008.
She recounted that she suffered bruises on her ankle after her husband dragged her out of the computer room for using his computer without permission.
The wife returned to the Philippines a few weeks later and sought help from the DFA, fearing Boggess would follow her.
The DFA said it issued a circular directing all Philippine posts abroad not to issue any visa in favor of Boggess.
“It is also for the protection of young Filipinas that may become his victim if he is allowed entry into the country,” DFA assistant secretary Domingo Lucenario Jr. said in his letter to Libanan.–Jerome Aning, Philippine Daily Inquirer
