Korean ambassador asks PH to deport 3 nationals

Korean Ambassador to the Philippines Kim Inchul on Wednesday requested the Department of Justice (DOJ) to deport three Korean nationals.

According to the DOJ, Kim paid a courtesy call on Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla and extended his congratulations on the deportation of four Japanese fugitives.

Kim said the official request for deportation was already sent by his consul-general.

For his part, Remulla said he would look into the request immediately.

The government recently deported four Japanese fugitives suspected of directing a series of robberies in their native country while detained in the Philippines. — Joahna Lei Casilao/RSJ, GMA Integrated News
