A CHINESE fugitive ready to fly to China was apprehended by Bureau of Immigration (BI) operatives at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) last January 5.
According to a report from Dennis Alcedo, Head of the BI’s Border Control and Intelligence Unit, said Chinese national was identified as Chen Yiye, 48, who attempted to fly to China via a China Southern flight at the NAIA Terminal 1.
Upon inspection of the immigration officer, his records showed that his name has been included in the BI’s Blacklist, and is found to be a charged fugitive with a deportation case issued in 2017.
He is in the country as a retiree, and was reportedly apprehended last August 2016 at Angeles City, Pampanga for possession of 36.58 kg of methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu, with an estimated value of P100M.
BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco lauded port personnel for the interception.
“These fugitives have no place in our country,” said Tansingco. “Hence he will be deported, and with his name included in our blacklist, he will be barred from returning to the Philippines,” he added.
Chen was transferred to the BI’s Warden Facility located inside Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan, Taguig pending his eventual deportation.
