The Bureau of Immigration arrested three foreigners, two of them fugitives in their own country while another was apprehended for possessing fake travel documents.

Arrested were two Koreans, identified as Oh Gwangrok and Park Seungjae, and Salman Khan, a Pakistani. The two Koreans fugitives were nabbed in Manila and Mandaluyong in separate operations by operatives from the bureau’s fugitive search unit.

“We are sending them back to Korea where they are wanted by authorities for serious offenses. The Philippines is not a sanctuary for foreign criminals,” Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente said.
