BI starts deportation proceedings vs. Thai who bashed Pinoys on Facebook


The Bureau of Immigration has started the deportation process against the Thai citizen who bashed Filipinos on his social media account.

BI spokesperson Elaine Tan said Prasertsri Kosin, known to netizens as Koko Narak, had been informed on Monday as regards the deportation proceedings.

“Based on our records, Kosin is working under a special non-immigrant visa based on Section 47(a)(2) of the Philippine Immigration Act. The visa will be eventually cancelled should he be determined to be undesirable,” Tan said.

Kosin is reportedly employed by Cognizant Philippines, a business process outsourcing company in Taguig City.

If he's deported, Kosin will be included in the BI’s blacklist and will be barred re-entry into the country.

Tan, however, said Kosin would be given the chance to answer the allegations against him.

Kosin on his Facebook account called Filipinos “pignoys,” “stupid creatures,” "low-class slum slaves” and “useless race in this world."

“We cannot say at this point how long the proceedings will go—it may take two to six months depending on the evidence presented and the cooperation of the parties," Tan said.

"Kosin also has the option to admit the charge against him and opt for voluntary deportation in order to expedite the proceedings,” he added. -NB, GMA News
