Controversial Mayor Alice Guo of Bamban, Tarlac
SUSPENDED Bamban mayor Alice Guo and others have been under the Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order (ILBO) following Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla signed the documents, said the Department of Justice (DOJ) said Tuesday.
The justice department said the ILBO has been forwarded to the Bureau of Immigration (BI).
The BI said it has started implementing the ILBO, which it said instructs immigration officers to double check if the subjects have pending arrest warrants, violations or infractions, and to monitor their whereabouts should they attempt to leave the country.
“According to the said ILBO, considering the gravity of charges, subjects may attempt to place themselves beyond the reach of legal processes by fleeing the country, hence the BI is ordered to relay to the DOJ attempts to depart to obtain information for the proper course of action to be undertaken by immigration officers,” the BI said.
Authorities said they will also apply for a preventive hold departure order against the subjects.
