BID starts crackdown
on 'undesirable aliens'
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
The Bureau of Immigration and Deportation in Central Visayas and the Philippine Center for Transitional Crimes started yesterday a crackdown on undesirable aliens in Oriental Negros as part of a relentless drive against foreigners reportedly engaged in illegitimate activities and businesses in the countryside.
Special prosecutor Serafin Araula Abellon, chief of the intelligence unit of BID-Cebu, heads the Region 7 BI team while operatives from Manila are headed by Chief Inspector Rommel Villamor.
Several aliens were invited to the Criminal Investigation
and Detection Group office to present their travel documents, while
the BID is acting on complaints that reaches the agency, Abellon said.

Dumaguete
safe for Gov. George Arnaiz said Dumaguete City remains safe for domestic and foreign tourists despite the reported series of crimes happening in the capital city of Oriental Negros. The governor's position came in reaction to Dumaguete Mayor Agustin Perdices's earlier complaint that the Department of Tourism regional office has again ignored Dumaguete in its Central Visayas tourism promotion campaign. Arnaiz said the series of killings in the city last month must
stop even as he condemned the attacks against the victims who were
known as police characters. He said these are reports that would
discourage visitors from coming over the city and subsequently to
the province. |
