The six Chinese nationals were arrested in Bulacan after violating the conditions of their stay in the Philippines. According to the Bureau of Immigration (BI), they were deemed "undesirable aliens" due to their clear violation of visa rules.
The six were caught on August 6 in Brgy. Sto. Cristo, San Jose Del Monte City, Bulacan while working for a construction company. Two of them had valid working visas but were petitioned by a different company than the one they were actually working for — a clear violation of visa terms.
Samantala, ang apat pa ay may tourist visa lamang na hindi nagbibigay ng pahintulot para magtrabaho sa Pilipinas. Ayon kay BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado, ang kanilang ginawa ay seryosong paglabag kaya sila ay isinailalim sa deportation proceedings at ilalagay sa blacklist para hindi na makabalik sa bansa.
Currently, the process for their removal from the Philippines is being handled. This action by the BI is to ensure that immigration laws are followed and local jobs for Filipinos are protected.
