IMMIGRATION officers on Sunday arrested a blacklisted Chinese national at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3.
Bureau of Immigration (BI) officers identified the man as Zhou Xingxing, 31, who attempted to depart for Guangzhou, China.
Zhou was found to be the subject of a January 2023 order to leave from the BI for overstaying, and working for an online gaming company with an expired Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) license.
Upon arrest, Zhou was turned over to the BI’s Border Control and Intelligence Unit for processing. Subsequently, he was handed over to the Legal Division to undergo booking procedures.
He will be transferred to the BI Warden Facility situated inside Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan, Taguig and will remain in custody pending the implementation of his deportation.
BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco reiterated the BI’s unwavering commitment to upholding Philippine immigration laws.
“The Bureau remains vigilant and steadfast in ensuring that individuals complying with our laws are welcomed, while those who violate our regulations are held accountable,” Tansingco said.
