3 Malaysians blacklisted, banned from PH for alleged interference in local politics

Three Malaysian nationals, identified as Jessica Lynn Henry, Mimielianna Annie Anak Leesoi, and Andrijosebaul Anak Garra, have been blacklisted and banned from entering the Philippines by the Bureau of Immigration (BI).

They arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 on August 27 from Kuala Lumpur, claiming to be members of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KOJC).

Immigration officers intercepted them for being a potential public charge and for suspicious intent, as they planned to join anti-government demonstrations by KOJC members protesting the manhunt for Pastor Quiboloy.

Screenshots of anti-government slogans were found on their mobile phones, and they were invited to Davao City by the KOJC.

BI Commissioner Norman Tansingco stated that foreigners interfering in the Philippines' internal political affairs could be expelled for violating immigration laws and being considered undesirable aliens.

The Malaysians, all in their mid-20s, boarded a flight back to Malaysia on August 28.
