Immigration agents arrested 45 Chinese and 24 Koreans illegally working without appropriate visas in Clark, Pampanga.
Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said the arrested aliens were working at the Dongwang Clark Corporation and Clark Sunvalley Country Club.
The BI held the 93 foreign nationals for questioning and verification of travel documents after receiving reports that the said aliens were working under tourist visas in construction sites in Clark.
“This is a call to our kababayans to remain vigilant. Report all illegal activities of foreign nationals to the Bureau of Immigration for appropriate action,” Morente said.
He said that he found it “absurd that these aliens had the guts to conduct their illegal operations in the vicinity of the Philippine Immigration Academy”.
Morente said that their blatant disregard of the law would warrant their deportation.
The apprehended foreign nationals were transported to the BI Warden Facility pending deportation proceedings.
