The Bureau of Immigration (BI) is set to deport eight Chinese nationals who were caught illegally working in the country.
Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said the foreigners were rounded up over the weekend while selling goods at 168 Shopping Mall in Binondo, Manila.
Morente said the country’s Immigration Act prohibited foreign nationals from working without work permit.
“The presence of these illegal foreign vendors robs our small Filipino businessmen of livelihood opportunities,” he said.
Acting BI intelligence chief Fortunato Manahan Jr. claimed that some of the foreigners had tried to bribe the arresting officers to release them. —Tina G. Santos, Inquirer.net, 9/24/18
