IMMIGRATION Commissioner Norman Tansingco encouraged individuals residing in Iloilo and nearby areas to report illegal aliens to their intelligence team during the agency’s service caravan.
Tansingco said that during the Mindanao leg of its “Bagong Immigration” caravan, several individuals reported illegal aliens in their area.
“We are serious in our drive against illegal aliens, hence we bring our people closer to the communities to get on the ground information about foreigners who are not complying with immigration laws,” he stated.
Tansingco said that they are welcoming reports against illegal aliens and foreign sexual predators that might be hiding in far flung provinces.
“As part of our #ShieldKids Campaign, we have intelligence personnel joining our caravan to receive information from community members regarding foreign sexual predators and sex tourists that might be plaguing their area,” he earlier said.
The second leg of the BI’s service caravan is slated for April 17 at the Seda Hotel in Iloilo.
The caravan offers expedited processing for various BI transactions, including tourist visa extensions, exit clearances, dual citizenship applications, and other essential clearances.
The BI is set to open its service caravan in Baguio on May 8, and in Batangas on June 5.
