BI arrests Chinese with fake documents

The Bureau of Immigration has arrested an overstaying Chinese national who sought to leave the country with fake immigration documents.

In a statement, Immigration Commissioner Norman Tansingco said the BI Border Control and Intelligence Unit arrested 24-year-old Ning Hoachao at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 on March 24.

“Let this serve as a warning to overstaying aliens. Do not use spurious immigration documents because such trick will not go undetected by our officers at the airport,” Tansingco said.

The BI said Ning was intercepted before he could board a flight to Xiamen, China.

According to the BI, the passenger was offloaded after officers confirmed that Ning’s emigration clearance certificate was counterfeit. He was also found to be on the BI’s blacklist who overstayed their visas.

The BI said Ning is currently detained at their detention facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig City. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
